Dawson and Felix got into a fight in the nurse's office, Felix hated the new power he had, and Dawson thought he should have been grateful. Dawson was silently jealous of Felix for having the ability, and when he started complaining, he blew up. Dawson couldn’t keep his rage in check any longer; he had said some things to Felix he wished he could take back.

Felix walked home from school when he was supposed to get a ride from Dawson. Felix always had trouble with publicly complaining; he got yelled at because of it before. He felt terrible, but Felix knew Dawson wasn’t in the right either. Felix got into his house and ran upstairs, he knew his mom would be home soon, and he didn’t feel like being put down today. He laid on his bed; as he got comfortable, a piece of paper fell from his pants pocket.

“Oh, I forgot to tell Dawson about this,” Felix said to himself as he reread the note. “Sadness is the key…? Thanks to her? Who's “her”? The only her I know that causes me bad memories is-”

The door opened and slammed shut, muttering erupted, and then the TV turned on. Felix grimaced as he thought she would be home a little later. That confirmed that she was the person causing the power.

“The opposite of sadness… happiness? Who causes that emotion the most?” Dawson’s face flashed in Felix’s mind. “I have to stick with him? Of course, I do! He is always around me, even in my mind!”

Felix crumpled the paper up and threw it across the room. He put his head down and closed his eyes.

Felix internally groaned when he saw darkness; this was getting tiring. The same old scenery, he wanted something new. Suddenly, the blackness changed from dark to his bedroom. Everything was fine until Dawson walked into his room; Felix wasn’t even surprised that he was dreaming about him too. What did surprise him was that Dawson picked him up by the throat; when he looked into his eyes, he saw that they were jet black. Dawson started to do something to Felix, something he could only describe as possessing him. He was having his body invaded by Dawson. Felix could only watch from afar. Dawson, in Felix's body, turned the way Felix was facing and whispered, “Guess what? Now I have powers too.”

Felix woke, not crying, but with a migraine. His head hurt like never before; the clock on his wall said it was only 5 a.m., so he just tried to go back to bed, and he did. Luckily, he didn’t have a dream, but as always he was late for school. Felix made it to his first class 20 minutes late, but he and Dawson didn't have a shared class until the 4th bell, so he had to wait. After 3 excruciating classes, Felix’s heart was racing, and took longer than usual to leave his class. In turn, he got to his English class right before the bell rang. That left him with one choice of seating, a desk in the back, next to Dawson. Felix sat down and looked in his peripheral vision to see Dawson, who was watching the teacher. He decided to write a note that would prompt him into talking to him.

“I had a dream.”

That was all Felix wrote on the note; then, he threw it on Dawson’s desk. When Dawson read the message, his eyes got visibly more prominent.

“What about-” Dawson tried to whisper until the teacher cut in.

“Boys in the back! Pay attention, and no notes!”

Dawson huffed and slumped back in his chair. The boys waited anxiously for the class to finish; it seemed to go on for an eternity. Then, when the bell rang, everyone, of course, started leaving.

Dawson, leaving the room, saw Felix still sitting down. Knowing how slow he was, he just picked up Felix’s bag and walked away. Felix quickly got up and saw that Dawson was going the wrong way.

“That isn’t the way to Bio?”

“I'm skipping.”

“Oh, God… You're going to fail this year...”

They walked to the tree at the back of the school, the place where Felix spit up his first glob. Again, they laid on the tree in the same silence as before, but this time Felix was tracing one of the holes his glob had made with his finger. Felix turned his head to see Dawson already staring at him; they stared at each other for a second, and then Felix looked away.

“I feel a strange deja vu… never mind,” Felix mumbled as he put his hand on his head.

“You know what… I felt it too...” Dawson agreed while nodding his head. “Whatever, what did you mean you had a dream?”

“Oh yeah… um… I think your power is… possession?” Felix said hesitantly.

“Possessing… like a ghost?” Dawson said underwhelmingly.

Felix thought he would be happier to know he had powers.

“Well, how do I activate it then?” Dawson replied in an uninterested voice, more invested in pulling out the grass.

“I’m not sure… just think about someone, I guess?” Felix asked as he shrugged.

Dawson looked Felix dead in the eyes; then, for Felix, everything went dark for a literal second. Then, after that second, everything was back to normal, but he was somehow in the school.

“Huh! How…”

“Excuse me, Felix! Are you not going to the bathroom because if you're not, I will tell your teacher you are skipping!” Yelled a teacher as they walked into the hall.

“Y...yes, about too!” Felix called out, making his way to the nearest bathroom. He waited for the teacher to go back into their room to leave. He rushed back outside to see Dawson lying on the ground rubbing his head.

“What happened!?” Felix shrieked as he fell to his knees in front of Dawson.

“Welp… the short answer is, I possessed you. The long answer is, I possessed you and walked around the school… in your body.”

“Wow, that is crazy impressive… How did you do that so easily?” Felix asked quietly.

“I don’t know!” Dawson barked at Felix as he sat up. “You said to think of someone, and I did.”

“Ok… but why were you on the ground?” Felix asked while tilting his head.

“I don’t know; when I came back to my own body, I was lying on the ground. Oh god… my head is killing… me!” Dawson growled quietly.

“Possess someone again, and I will see what happens,” Felix said as Dawson sat up.

“Yeah, I guess, even though I feel like liquid trash,” Dawson whispered as he closed his eyes.

Dawson’s body suddenly went limp, Felix quickly caught him before his head hit the ground again.

“Your head is unknowingly heavy….” Felix strained as he placed Dawson’s head in his lap. Felix sat in silence before he started hearing shouting from a classroom. Dawson came back into his body and said, “Ha! Do you know what I- Jesus! M...my head….”

Dawson turned his body, so his face was squished into Felix’s stomach. Felix lifted his hands because he didn’t know what to do with them, but then he just placed them on Dawson’s head. Then, while slowly massaging Dawsons’ head, Felix said awkwardly, “When you… uh… “possess,” your body goes limp. I guess the first time you hit your head on the ground.”

“You wanna know what I did….” Dawson whispered, smirking. “I possessed that old teacher… Mr. Koller or whatever his name is. I made him twerk right in the middle of the room… everyone was screaming and taking videos…!”

“I’ll make sure to watch those videos when I can.” Felix chuckled, having the image of the older man dancing in his head.

“You better… show….me…” Dawson replied as he slowly passed out.

“Hey! A..are you… you dead…?” Felix shook as he panicked. Then, when he saw Dawson’s chest rise and fall, he realized he was alive.
