Disclaimer: All Drake & Josh characters copyright their proper owners. I just wrote this. Um, similar to Freaky Friday? Yes. Only to the point where Drake and Josh switch. Then it's my game.

Author's Note: Thanks to all who read and reviewed "Christmas Shoes." I don't think I've ever written Drake better. I was also glad I could inspire Gingerrogersforever for her awesome fic. I've begun another fic. This one is purely fun. I'll explain things more in a moment, especially for those looking for the next story in my series. I'm posting this one as I write. Normally I write the entire thing, and then I post. Anyway, Drake and Josh think the other must have it easy. Josh sees that Drake can get the girls and plays guitar. Drake thinks that Josh is great at school and...well, that's about it. The guys wake up to find...they've switched! Chaos ensues as the guys try to figure out how to get out of each other's bodies.

I think most of you have heard about Drake Bell's accident. Fortunately, he is home and on the road to recovery. Keep up the positive thoughts and, if you believe, prayers.

Due to the situation, I can't bring myself to post the next story in my series, as some of the characters' pasts deal with car accidents. I just don't think I should or can post it. Right now, I'd much rather post a more humorous story, which is the reason for this fanfiction. I was hoping that the other authors who post Drake & Josh fanfiction could do the same. It would brighten everybody's moods because the best thing we can do for Drake right now is to think positive and be glad he's home.

Bzzz bzzz bzzz

Drake Parker reached up a hand and hit the alarm clock hard. He managed to push the snooze button. Drake turned back over and continued sleeping. His step-brother, Josh Nichols, sat up in his own bed and glanced at Drake. Why couldn't he get up to his alarm clock like a normal person? Josh grabbed the clothes he'd laid out for himself the night before and headed to the bathroom. He got into the shower and began to get ready for the day.

Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, the alarm went off again. Drake sighed and turned off the alarm. He smashed his face into his pillow and attempted to fall asleep again. Josh, clean and dressed, walked back into the bedroom and took one look at his brother.

"Hey, Drake," said Josh. "Would you get up already? We're gonna be late for school if you do this."

Drake turned his head to look in Josh's direction.

"Really?" replied Drake. "Don't worry about me, okay?" He turned back over on his side.

"Drake, would you just get out of bed?"

"Yes, Mommy," Drake replied sarcastically. He crawled out of his bed and hopped down onto their bedroom floor. Drake headed to the bathroom with clothes in hand. He stopped and looked into the mirror. His hair was a bit messed up from sleeping. He showered and then dried his hair. Much better. He left the bathroom and headed downstairs to eat some breakfast before he left.

"Megan!" Josh cried as Drake entered the kitchen.

"What'd she do now?" asked Drake.

"I'd rather not discuss it," Josh replied, looking irritated.

Drake shrugged and grabbed an apple.

"Now," said Josh, "if you hadn't taken so long, you could have eaten a proper breakfast and not an apple."

"Um...who cares?" responded Drake. He left the kitchen and headed out the door.

Josh stared after his brother. Why couldn't he be more responsible?

The two boys arrived at school. They split up and headed to their lockers. Josh passed a pretty girl. He decided to talk to her. Since he'd broken up with Mindy, he decided he'd better try and date other girls. Josh walked over to the girl and gave her a smile.

"Hello," she said.

"H-hi," Josh responded.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"J-j-joe, Jack, Jay, Jim, John..." Josh blabbered.

"Josh?" she asked.

"Yeah, how'd you guess?"

"That's what your notebook says."

"Oh," said Josh looking down. They heard the bell ring. "So," said Josh, glancing up. Unfortunately, the girl was gone. "Me and my incoherent speech around women!"

"What are you yapping about?" asked Drake, walking up behind Josh.

"I still can't talk to girls!"

"Well, you were dating that creature for a while. Didn't give you much practice."

"Creature again? Not much practice? I can't do it, Drake!"

"So, you're a little rusty. That's fixable." At that moment, a blonde walked by and caught Drake's eye. "Excuse me," he said.

Drake approached the girl, and sure enough, returned to Josh with a date for Friday night.

Josh sighed. It was good to be Drake Parker. Why couldn't Josh talk to girls like that?

Mrs. Haifer handed back the tests from the previous week in her English class.

"Josh," she said. "You did wonderfully. You got an A+."

"Cool," said Josh.

"Drake," said Mrs. Haifer. "You got a D-. Try to do better next time."

Drake took his test and sighed. It was good to be Josh Nichols. Well, not the inability to talk to girls. Or being a dork. Or...well, you know. Josh was good at school. Of course, Josh studied. Drake didn't want to waste his time doing that.

Josh poked at his lunch. Apart from messing things up with that girl this morning, everything was going pretty well. It was always great to see a plus sign tacked onto the A. Josh glanced up and noticed Mindy walking toward him. She glanced around and sat down across from him.

"Hello," said Josh.

"Um, Josh," said Mindy. "Do you think maybe we made a mistake?"

"How?" asked Josh.

"I mean, do you think we shouldn't have broken up?"

Josh thought a minute. He had really liked Mindy. He couldn't remember why they'd broken up in the first place.

"Do you want to go out with me again Mindy?" asked Josh.

"I guess so," she replied. "If you want to go out with me again."

"Sure Mindy," Josh replied.

Drake had been walking by Josh and Mindy. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. After Mindy left, he approached Josh.

"What are you doing?" asked Drake.

"Eating lunch," Josh replied. "It's something we normally do at the noon hour."

"No," said Drake. "What are you doing going out with the creature again?"

"I liked Mindy, I can't remember why we broke up."

"Oh, come on."

"Really."

"Fine, ruin your love life. See if I care."

It was about ten o'clock and Josh was finishing his report on The Grapes of Wrath, and Drake was sitting on his bed playing his guitar.

"You know, you could do your homework," said Josh. "Then your grades would go up."

"I don't think so," said Drake.

"Why are you so lazy?"

"Why do you care?"

Josh stood up, and Drake jumped down from his bed.

"You know, it's so easy being you," said Josh. "I can't stand it. You just sit around and play your guitar. You never do your homework. You just talk to girls."

"Hey, it's not as easy as it looks, you know that," Drake snapped back. "None of it is. I'm not smart like you are either."

"Hey, I work hard!" Josh replied, irritated. "It's not easy to be me either."

"Yeah right," said Drake. "If I were you, I'd know how to talk to girls, and it wouldn't be that horrible one you keep going out with."

"If I were you, you wouldn't get too many dates, but at least you'd pass your classes."

"Oh yeah, and that's what's really important in life."

Josh paused and looked off to the side with a look of confusion written across his face.

"You know, I wish you could be me," said Josh. "Then you could see it's no picnic."

"Oh yeah?" said Drake. "So do I. I wish you could be me."

"This is silly," said Josh, laughing. "What are the odds that would ever happen?"

"Yeah, you're right," Drake laughed. "I mean seriously, we're really gonna switch places? Yeah right."

Both guys laughed and climbed into bed. Such a shame for them, they hadn't noticed the freak shooting star pass through the sky.
