The Sixty-Third Rule

Pinkie Pie bounced around the ballroom on the ground floor of the Gracefield Hotel.  She zipped and zoomed around preparing the ballroom for a big fancy masquerade ball.  Pinkie hung up streamers and blew up many colorful balloons.  The young pony girl had started the decorations in the late morning.  She didn't care if she had someone to help her or not, because she loves planning and decorating parties.  When Pinkie finally stopped and took a step back to look at her hoofy handy work, it was 11:24 p.m.

"I guess I'll stop here for now.  I'll put on the finishing touches tomorrow,"  Pinkie's mouth stretched in a large yawn.  Pinkie liked how all her hard work payed off.  The young mare girl left the ballroom.  She took the elevator to the fifth floor.  With the last bit of energy Pinkie skipped down the the carpet hallway to room 521.  She unlocked the door.

Pinkie changed into her pink pajamas with smiling ponies on it.  She grabbed her green plushy alligator with purple eyes and snuggled under the covers.  "Good night, Gummy."

The next morning Bubble Berry rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes.  Bubble smiled to himself.  "Get to finish the decorating today for the party!"

Bubble slipped out of bed.  He opened the closet to find something to wear.  He looked through all the clothing he brought with him, but couldn't find what he wanted to wear.  That's funny.  I can't find my skirt.  I know I brought it with me.

Bubble ran his hand through his pink fluffy hair with a puzzling look on his face.  "I guess I'll just wear this," he pulled out a pair of blue pants, and a pink long sleeved shirt with three balloons on it.

Bubble changed his clothes.  He walked pasted the bathroom on his way out of the room.  Bubble closed the door and he stopped for a moment.  He went back into the room.

Bubble Berry poked his head around the door frame to the bathroom.  He slowly approached the mirror over the sink.  Bubble sucked in a large breath in a loud gasp.  He darted out of the bathroom and under the bed.

I had to remember the Pinkie/Bubble is a human not a pony.  Hehe silly me.

Gummy! Look at Gummy! Look!!:

Staying in the city even for a few days was always a nice refresher for the city boy. Though he had grown to love the country side, he found that his heart stayed with the urban life. For this visit, he had struck out by himself, and stayed at a place called Gracefield Hotel. He had heard decent reviews about it, and it was at an affordable price -he used money he had been saving up from his part time job-.

He checked into his room, 513, and unpacked his bag, putting his things in drawers before settling on the edge of his bed. Yosuke flipped through the channels to see if anything interesting was on, only to be met with dismay. The most interesting thing on at the time was some sort of documentary on an ancient civilisation he honestly couldn't care much for. He sighed and turned the TV off, deciding to spend the rest of the day in the hotel, exploring it's many floors and rooms. Perhaps he would even go swimming..

The teen left his room and took the elevator downstairs, where he stepped out into the lobby. Avoiding some of the busy bellhops, he made his way down a long corridor, passing by many meeting and event rooms. One in particular was in the progress of being decorated by a bubbly girl. Apparently some sort of masquerade, it appeared. He decided it would be best not to interrupt her...

A masquerade looked pretty intriguing for the youth. Perhaps he would go to it, just to see what it was about.

He passed by more of the event rooms, and by the time he got to the last one, he realised how late it had gotten, and quickly rushed back to the elevator to go to his room. He should really pay more attention to what time it was...

Back in his room, he had a quick dinner, consisting of some microwavable macaroni and cheese. As soon as he was finished, he got into his sleeping clothes -a loose, orange shirt and comfortable, plaid pants- and climbed into bed. He set his alarm for the morning, turned off his bedside lamp, and soon fell asleep.



Yoshiko woke up, rubbing her tired eyes as she say up in bed. For some reason, something felt off to her... Her body, especially. She was fairly certain her arms didn't normally look so thin... She looked down at herself, and had to stop herself from gasping.

She sprinted to the bathroom, and forced down a scream. Somehow, she had become female during the night? But how...? She tried her best not to panic as she scrounged through her belongings to find something to change into. The girl only succeeded in finding a skirt, a shirt and a sweater. At least, that was the least strange of her wardrobe. The only pairs of pants she could find in her bag didn't match very well with her sweater.

She slowly slipped out of her room. Even if she got transformed, she could still try to enjoy the day, right? As she walked down the hallway, she heard a loud gasp from one of the rooms. Frowning, she approached the door and knocked on it.

"U-um, are you okay in there?"

No, I never have enough Yosuke pics... This one's actually a crossdressing one, cause I didn't find any female Yosuke designs I actually liked... A lotta them kinda look like him crossdressing. Oh well, I searched for a really long time... What can one do?

And ellooo~

Bubble Berry peeked out from under the bed.  He stared wide eyes at the door.  Someone had knocked on the door.  "U-um, are you okay in there?"  A female voice called through the door.

Bubble didn't know what to do.  He was freaking out.  Yesterday he was a she and now he was a he.  Should he answer the door or stay under the bed?  He still had to finish the decorations for the masquerade ball.

The poor pony boy didn't know what to do and was most likely going to stay under the bed.  Then something hit him.  If it was even possible, Bubble's eyes got even wider.  He sucked in another big loud gasp.  "Twilight!"  Bubble leaped out from under the bed.  "Gummy, you're a genius!  Twilight will know what to do."  Bubble rushed to the door but stopped when got to it.  He ran back to the bed and grabbed his Gummy friend.

The two friends ran back to the door.  Bubble flung the door open and crashed right into the person who asked if he was okay.

Short but I think it will get things moving.

As Yoshiko waited for the other to open up the door, she heard some strange comments as they talked to themselves. Twilight? Who's Twilight? Does he mean the book or somethin'? No one could possibly be named that, right? She frowned, about to knock again when the door was thrown open, and something bright pink ran into her.

SMACK!

At the speed the 'thing' was going at, Yoshiko found herself almost launched across the hallway and into the wall. It didn't help that she was also extremely light. Dazed, it took her a moment to acknowledge who or what was standing in front of her.

It was a young man with neon pink, poofy hair and excited blue eyes. He wore a shirt with balloons, and was holding onto... A green alligator plushie? The girl frowned a little; surely he was too young to be carrying stuffed animals around, right? Then again... There are some strange people out there... Nonetheless, she got to her feet to greet him.

"Hello, I'm Yosuke Hanamura. I heard you as I walked by your room, so I assumed somethin' was wrong. Are you okay now?"

A bit shortish, but a lotta my posts get short after the first one ~ ^^;

Makoto was tired and ready to go to bed when she first arrived to the hotel. She didn't bother checking into the place when she first got to the city, no, she was a bit too busy for that. She was there to go kick some bad guy butt. The rest of the team each had places to go of their own, however, they were all going to meet up again in a few days.

The day quickly became busy when Makoto became quickly engrossed with a cute boy she saw. Just a grade older, and turned out to be a good cook. She tried to juggle her time between him and keeping minions from being a nuisance. So, by the end of the day she was dead beat tired, and fell asleep right as she got to her room. She didn't even bother to change into some sleepwear. She was deep asleep only moments after arriving.

.......................

The next morning Makoto was still sleeping soundly. At least until he rolled off of the bed, and woke up with a thump. "Owwww-" He stopped in mid-groan. His voice was off. It was deeper, and cracked when he moaned. Makoto looked down to his own body. His chest was flat, and he was wearing a pair of slacks instead of a skirt. Stumbling to stand up, Makoto ran to the bathroom. His eyes went wide. It was a young man looking back at him in the mirror with the same expression of horror. He tried to scream out, but there was a knot in his throat preventing it. The scared expression quickly changed to an angry one. He couldn't believe this! He was a GUY! What dumb alien would do that anyway?! Worse yet, he had to at least contact the rest of the team today. They wouldn't let him hear the end of it!

Before thinking anything through, Makoto ran out of his room and into the hall. He had to find whoever did this, and make them fix it. One way or another. Turning a corner, he stopped before slamming into three other people. He couldn't place them, but they seemed slightly familiar. Maybe he'd seen them the day before? "What's with the crowd in the hall? Did something happen in one of the rooms around here?" Makoto's tone was a little rude, but he was pissed off about the fact that he was a he currently. The day wasn't going well at all for Makoto

Sorry for the uber late reply. Busy time for me.

Yoshiko glanced over to notice the two newcomers. Well, this was certainly a surprise - normally, people weren't so amicable around strangers, and mainly went along with their own business. I hope they don't notice anything weird with me... Wait, should I act like a girl too? How does a girl even act? Despite her apparent 'fascination' with them, she didn't know very much about them... Perhaps she should stand in a more feminine way? Play with her hair? Giggle? Fidget with her skirt? No, if her movements were forced, it'd be obvious. Maybe she could get away with acting normal... As in, her regular self. When she wasn't female.

"Nothing happened here... At least, I'm not injured." She smiled apologetically towards the others. "I just heard an odd noise when I was walking along here... That's all." The brunette glanced around the other three briefly, a small frown appearing on her face. She could've sworn they looked familiar... Didn't that guy in pink look a lot like the girl decorating yesterday? Did he have a twin sister? "Good day, then.."

Yoshiko awkwardly shuffled by the others down the hallway. As she went, she felt something slip out of her pocket - her ID card. But for some peculiar reason, it was her regular one - she was male on it. She awkwardly scooped it up quickly, hoping no one would notice... It was fine until a knife fell out of her other pocket. Great. She picked it up as well, hoping that no one had seen it. Weapons were not allowed in hotels, after all. "Ahahahaha... I really have to go... Later!"

She sped up her pace, wishing to get off the floor before the others called her out. Might've worked, had she normally worn shoes with slightly elevated heels on a daily basis. With the faster pace, she soon fell halfway to the elevator. Good job, Yosuke.

Oh Yoosk.

Makoto blinked at the girl who started to explain why she was there. She was a bit odd, and not the most feminine. Well, neither was Makoto, so he shrugged it off quickly. Odd noise? I didn't hear anything... He wondered what noise that could've been. Hotels generally weren't noisy, right?

The young boy noticed that the girl dropped something, but it was scooped up too soon to know what it was. He assumed it was a wallet or something like that. It was the falling knife that caught Makoto's suspicions. Of course, after that, the girl ran off. What she was doing with a knife her pocket, Makoto had no idea, but he wanted to find out. He could hear that the other woman was saying she was leaving too, but Makoto wasn't interested in her or the other boy in the hall anymore. She was more curious about the knife wielding upperclassman.

Ignoring the other two, he ran to the girl. He watched as the woman helped up the girl awkwardly, trying to hold back a giggle. "Hold on. You shouldn't be running with a knife in your pocket. But then again, why is there a knife with you?" He blinked at her curiously.

Stupidly short post is short...

Yoshiko was about to get up and reply to the strange lady when she was suddenly grabbed from behind and hoisted upwards. She let out a short cry, startled and a bit hurt from the rather peculiar way of being helped up. Well, if I'm ever choking, I know someone who can help me out... That's always a relief. She thought as she gingerly rubbed her sore chest. Hopefully there wouldn't be any bruises - the stranger's grasp had been pretty tight. "Maybe just a hand up would be fine next time..."

The teen glance down at her footwear when it was mentioned. They were certainly not the sneakers or boots she usually wore... It would certainly be best to change them as soon as she could to avoid falling repeatedly. "I'm not used to this whole girl - ah, I mean, heel thing. It's a bit tricky for me still." She blushed ever so slightly at her slip up, wondering if telling the truth would be a good idea or not. On one hand, if it happened to them as well, it'd be great to figure it out together... But on the other, it would be really awkward if they didn't have a clue about it.

Before she could mention it, one of the other strangers spoke up... So someone had seen her knife. That was certainly not a good start. "M-must've forgotten 'bout it... Haha... I-I'm pretty absentminded, and I-I should be more careful 'bout running with sharp objects..." If I play dumb about it... Perhaps they'll just brush it off. If they don't... I could get into some serious trouble for this.

-joins the short club and creates a delayed club- YO

It was late at night and Kon-El was tired. Crime fighting was fun and all, but it was draining for a teenage solar panel. Especially after the sun went down. He was ready to fall asleep the second he'd land. But Smallville was an awful ways away, and Hawaii was even farther. So, it was an obvious decision for Kon to just spend the night in the city he was flying over at the moment.

It wasn't difficult for Kon to spot a hotel. The one he decided to check into had a rather fancy look to it, so there was no way it could be mistaken for an apartment or office building. He got some odd looks from the employees as he was fully decked out in his costume, and he was checking in with a credit card he borrowed /without permission/ from Tana Moon when he was rudely flirting with her. All the same they gave him the key to his room, 418, and up he went. Soon after, he went to bed.

When she woke up, it didn't occur to her something was wrong with herself. Thumping from the floor above had a tendency to be much louder when the person listening had super hearing. It gave her a start and she flung up from bed. Kon-Elle's first thought was that a fight of some sort was going on above, and didn't even take the time to notice her current body. She was tempted to burst through the ceiling, but that would be highly unappreciated by the hotel, and would probably put the damage of Tana's credit card or something. In other words, not only would the hotel kill her, but so would Tana.

Kon-Elle started on her way out, but stopped before she passed the mirror. She turned and looked wide-eyed at her reflexion. "Holy crap on a cracker! I'm a chick!" She turned around, keeping her eyes on the figure in the mirror. Her mouth drooping open in shock began to curve into a grin. "At least, I'm not an ugly chick." Kon-Elle chuckled quietly.

Another thump from above made her smile disappear, and she went back to running to the rescue. Out the door, and to the stair well, Kon skipped the steps, and just zoomed up to the next floor. Stepping out of the stairwell, Kon stopped. Four people, two girls and two boys, were in the hall standing there. She had no idea what was going on but the sounds of thumps came from around here. "So I wake up suddenly as a hot babe, and there's a crap ton of loud noises in the hotel. What is going on hear, and please tell me magic isn't involved!"

YOOSK YOU FALL TOO NOISILY!

And I'm adding Kon cause I think it might get the ball rolling a little faster... Makoto will probably end up as the loner middle school student of the group. She does beat people up after all.

Yoshiko let out a nearly inaudible sigh; so the other lady wasn't going to question why she had such a sharp knife on her. "Must've forgotten it in my pocket when I was cutting up my dinner last night, heehee!" Playing as an airhead could prove advantageous - if he slipped up on something, he could just act as if he had accidentally spoke it aloud. No one would know, and it would only be until he figured out what was going on. Yeah, that sounded like a good plan -

Then another girl arrived and... Did she say she got changed or something?! The teen stifled a loud gasp as she turned to face the newcomer, nearly falling again in the process.

"S-so it's not just me having some weird dream?" Yoshiko questioned. "We really did change genders or somethin' over night? What's up with that? Was it the food we ate, or some sorta spell...?" She was certainly not familiar with magic, but knowing how it worked in the TV World, it wasn't entirely impossible, right? Could the TV World be related to this hotel, and would that mean the Shadows were trying to take over again? She unconsciously gripped the knife in her pocket.
