Disclaimer: If I own ToS, then Marta would've already settled who she liked instead of having to choose in between poor Emil and Ratatosk - stop pulling a stupid Teresa (I hate that novella).

Summary: They were living normal lives, playing video games, but it all had changed. Changed the moment the computer shut off, only to suck them into the world that they had once dreamed about - but when they got thrown into that world, they became the opposite gender. This is how Tales of Symphonia turned out when some gender bent teens were thrown in and can't get out!

Prologue

Ferfrie sat in her room after having been kicked off the only computer with internet in her house. Lately her sister had been occupying it more than so, so she usually only had a minute before her sister took it over. Not only that but Ferfrie had been stuck practicing for soccer and high school homework wasn't the easiest thing in the world to accomplish. It had been a pretty busy day though, having to update a few of her stories and all - plus she was fighting with stupid Doug online through facebook over the subject of which Lloyd is better. As always, Ferfrie had pointed out that Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia was the best Lloyd that she ever knew of - Lloyd Irving is a kick ass cute half-angel and the main character. It's just natural to believe him the best. Well that's what Ferfrie believed anyway.

Deciding that she should finish up a few more paragraphs for her fanfic 'His Sister', she turned on her bed and reached under her bed to retrieve her laptop, grimacing when her hand brushed against her forgotten homework then shrugged. She rather do something fun than do homework, of course, Ferfrie was a procrastinator. Many of her reviewers on Fanfiction would comment about it but as a budding author and teacher, she took it with a smile and patience. No one could be perfect. She knew that.

So with a mischievous grin, she moved her hand past the unfinished homework and to her laptop, pulling it out and turning it on when it was set on her lap. There was no way she was going to let her three day weekend be taken homework just yet, she'd wait till eight at night to do it then finish it tomorrow, her last weekend day. But for now, her type of fun and relaxation was writing non-school stories and narratives.

As she clicked the file called 'His Sister Series', she remember exactly how she found the Fanfiction site. She had been clicking around when she was around the age of ten, looking for some sort of fanfic that involved Kratos and Anna, her favorite pairing when she stumbled along the very click that she ended up falling in love with the very fanfic. Of course, by the next day, she tried to look for it again when her history click wasn't working and managed to locate it and go around the site. Inevitably, she grew to love it and read as much as she could. A year or so later, she had recommended it to her best friend Harmony who also grew to love it.

In all honesty, it was her getaway from life. Being a girl was hard and frustrating, and often, she found herself envying boys a lot and constantly proclaimed herself a tomboy just to have a bit of an easier life. Tomboys weren't expected to wear makeup or primp their hair or pick out flashy clothes, and Ferfrie was for one of little patience with shopping for stuff like that. She loathed makeup and only needed about ten minutes to dry her hair with a blow dryer and brush it down, she randomly chose clothes and that was the way she rolled which explained her baggy comfy jeans and her red and black quarter-arm sleeved shirt that she was wearing. To her it was easier but she still didn't like being a girl even though she would have random outbursts of girlieness or crushes but that was rare.

As a way to just forget all her stumbles or her 'other life' she fled to writing on a daily's basis, or just thinking up ideas.

For now, it was writing.

-Syrus didn't listen to anything as he continued running, with the frail child on his back. He wanted to transform but risking his most precious identity to these attackers who wanted Senia, would try and use that as a weakness and it was his only strongest point. His blade was strapped to the back of his belt and he couldn't fight very well one handed with a double-edge blade. Senia was very weak on his back already, what if the attacker attacked from behind and killed her? Syrus couldn't dare afford to be locked away into Nifliem if his father doesn't kill him first-

Ferfrie paused for a moment to think up the next part when her door was pushed open. She looked over regrettably, wishing she had never explained to her sister and mother that all you had to do to her door was push even when it was locked just so she wouldn't have to get up and unlock the door for them when she forgot to unlock it previously. Her look of regret was replaced with a look of skepticism as her sister stood there, grinning at her the way she did when she was begging for something. No matter that her sister was nine years older than her; she would pull of that face.

"Hey punk, can you come and take pictures for me?" She asked, looking around Ferfrie's room, gingerly picking through her stuff that was 'neatly' placed on the dresser, specifically Ferfrie's jewelry box. Although she hated makeup and such, Ferfrie had this thing for shiny objects like earrings or necklaces or bracelets, and when they weren't shiny they had intricate designs as jewelry. And right now, Kareem, Ferfrie's sister, was looking through the box.

Sharp with a sarcastic remark ready to be unleashed if needed, Ferfrie smirked. "Only if you leave my crap alone."

It was a try of course, but Kareem never really did it. Only murmuring 'Ooh' when she found something good, but nonetheless, she didn't take anything. Ferfrie sighed in relief. If Kareem did, it would never make it back to her - just like the panda pajamas….

"Come on, I'm going to leave with the girls in a bit." Kareem winked and walked out, waving her phone that was already set to camera mode. With a groan, Ferfrie shut her laptop, moved it gingerly to the side and got up.

Not that she noted it as a talent, but when it came to taking good pictures of something, Ferfrie was rather good at it. When it was taking pictures of herself, she was rather bad at it. Otherwise, she was pretty good unless her victim moved frequently, like their hyperactive dog.

Taking the phone, she waited patiently as her sister went to stand on the upper landing of the stairs, posing as a school girl would while she was dressed for a night of clubbing. Smiling to herself, Ferfrie focus the camera. It had been a while since her sister got out to a club, personally, Ferfrie was happy though it had worried her once but she's more … controlled now.

After snapping six or seven pictures that were deemed worthy by Kareem, Ferfrie walked back into her room, closing the door with her foot and stretched. Smiling to herself, she looked around her cozy room before go back to her bed. But just as she was about to sit a large beep emitted from her laptop. Then came the sound of when it would turn off. Her eyes widened considerably as she launched to open it.

"Dammit I didn't even get to save my file!" She cried out as she hands pried the laptop open, only to see the screen pitch black already. Groaning, she sat back on her bed. It was too late … maybe the plug turned off on it's own…. She leaned over the side of her bed and looked down at the connection but it was still on and well plugged. Her eyebrows furrowed but a large flash of light threw her back onto the bed. She yelped and quickly looked up, throwing her hand up to protect her eyes as much as she could. The light dimmed in only the slightest and she sat back up to stare at the screen. Her eyes widened as words were written on the screen by itself. "What the-" She threw a hand over her mouth to keep herself from screaming.

Her room was sound proof- sure … but that didn't mind a super loud scream would be kept in the confinements of the room. So instead, she leaned in a bit to read what the screen said.

Place Tales of Symphonia, Disc 1, in the DVD slot.

Ferfrie stared, then blinked, then stared, then rubbed her eyes. Was her computer really asking for this? Maybe it was a side-effect of when she got internet at her sister's house that it just wanted another download... Either way...

Being used to doing weird things, she moved to reached towards her dresser, skimming through the names of her video games, she found Tales of Symphonia in between Super Smash Brothers: Melee and Harvest Moon: Magical Melody. Plucking it out, she sat back on her bed and opened the box. Rechecking her computer screen, she took out the disc and popped out the DVD player, propping it into the slide and shoving it back in. She waited, staring at the screen before it started typing new words.

Ferfrie D. B.

Forget whose on whose side, forget the meaning forget who you truly are, and learn it all from first hand experience.

Her eyes were grew wide, nearly to the size of a tennis ball.

"What the hell?" She leaned in closer but was immensely startled and thrown back against her wall when a voice was heard.

"It's time to know that no life will ever have it easy, and we'll start … with you!"

Ferfrie's eyes widened as the screen flashed again, her black shoulder-length hair spilling into her almost-black brown eyes as she violently moved, and within a flash, a hand grabbed her and jerked her into the screen. And soon enough, she was falling. Falling, but at the same time, her eyes finally met the exact same ones as her own. Her own hair tangled with the same black hair - only shorter than her own. Both bodies were glowing. And she could only stare at the boyish copy of herself.

"Who are you? What's going on?" She demanded, but the latter only closed its eyes and grabbed her by the shoulders, throwing itself towards her. When locked into the hug, she struggled against its shoulder for he was noticeably taller. "H-hey!"

"I'm you … Hugo."

Her breath was caught in her throat, and unwillingly, her muscles and shoulders relaxed. Leaning into the other, her mind began to shut down as her heart began to steady as if she was falling asleep. And then….

"Together … we make the new you, Hugo-chan!" and both plunged into darkness below them, slowly merging into one.

'What's going on?' Ferfrie thought tiredly just as the darkness consumed her.

But she'd find out soon enough.

Heh, so I decided to rewrite One Day in a whole new fashion because well … let's face it, the other one kind of sucked so I came up with a new idea and this is a better replacement. Just to answer your question, yes it IS a self-insert but in a twisted sort of way.

Next chapter, I start with the little skits at beginning and end, right now I'm really tired so I'm gonna hit the sack. I'm still waiting for some replies from a few friends *glowers at the said friends who are oblivious* for their hidden names as their gender bent form.

Interesting Facts about me:

My parents were actually gonna call me Hugo-Guardian which sounds pretty cool in both Spanish and English. I really love my guy name and I just had to put it as my gender bent name in this story. And the way you say it, say it like you would for juice in Spanish (Hh – uu – go) :)

The said information about Ferfrie -aka ME- is actually true. You people will find out more about me as the story goes on so can't wait to get this show on the road ;)

Review, Alert, and Favorite! Thank you~
