*Episode 9 – Ajax's Secret*:
—
After school, Luna and I rushed to Ajax's house. We couldn't wait any longer. We *had* to know more about Freakie Friday.
Ajax opened the door slowly, looking annoyed—again. "Back so soon?" he asked, chewing a cookie.
"We need answers," I said, stepping in. Luna followed, arms crossed.
Ajax sighed, locking the door behind us. "Fine. But you're not going to like what I found out."
We sat down in his messy room, notebooks and weird books scattered everywhere. He pulled out a dusty one with the title *"Curses & Coincidences."*
"What is that?" Luna asked.
"It's where I found out about Freakie Friday," Ajax said. "Turns out… it's not just a random thing. The body switch happens every few decades. But there's a catch."
"What catch?" I asked nervously.
He flipped a page and pointed. "If you don't switch back by the *third Freakie Friday*... your souls stay *trapped*—and your bodies become *linked forever*."
"Linked how!?" we both shouted.
"Pain, feelings, emotions—whatever one feels, the other does too. Even aging. You'll both be stuck as one being split in two bodies. It's... weird."
My heart dropped. "So we only have two more Fridays left?"
Ajax nodded. "Yep. And if you miss your chance, it's permanent."
Luna went quiet for once. I could tell she was scared—even in my body.
This was bigger than just a weird switch. It was a curse. And now we were running out of time.
