The Switch
(Usual disclaimer applied)
Prologue-Peaceful Morning...Well, Almost...
A blade of grass slowly lowered it's head toward the ground as a small, diamond like dew drop made its way down the blade. The lake had a light layer of mist above it, and the sun shined it's happiness over all. The birds sang their joyful ballad that morning, completely flawless, making the world, or in this case, Konoha peacefully wake up. All seemed wrapped in serenity.
Well, almost everything...
As we approach the residence of Tenten's family, we hear a loud shreak, causing all of the good little shinobi in Konoha to jolt out of their happy dreams and upright in their beds.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", Screamed a well known weapons master.
'It's only a dream, it's only a dream, it's only a dream. yeah, this is allllll a dream. there is no possible way I am, or look like, Neji,right? No possible way at allllllllllllllll...I so suck at convincing myself.'
"Tenten, honey, are you okay?" Tenten's mom called from downstairs, wanting to confirm her only daughter was alright.
"Uh...Yeah, I'm fine mom, everything's alright. Nothing's wrong. Nothing at all. Everything's juuust fine up here. Nothing to worry about."
'Oh great, what do I do if mom finds out? What if she finds THE Hyuuga in MY bedroom! She'll jump to conclusions and think we're going out! Okay, Tenten, you need to calm down, it's all a dream, not reality. All a dream, not reality. How come I seem to be repeating things lately? Oh well, that doesn't matter right now. All I have to do is pinch myself, it'll all be gone, and nothing ever happened.'
pinch-
'Hmmm, that's odd. Maybe I need to pinch a little harder.'
pinch-
"Honey, are you SURE your alright?" her mom called out again.
"Yeah, I just screamed 'cause...'come on Tenten, think!'...'Cause...I thought I saw Uchiha Itachi outside my window. Yeah...'Man, I'm 16 years old and I can't think of anything better?'
"Alright, I trust you, but if you ever need anything, I'm here."
"Okay mom. I promise everything is alright."
"Now, back to the pinching."
PINCH!-
"Ouch. That actually hurt. Now I should be back to my old self."
Tenten slowly approached the mirror, almost afraid to see if she had changed back or not. Every small step seemed like an hour passed, only making things worse. As her bare feet hit the hard wood floor, it sounded like a giant with temper problems stomping around in huge leather boots. The clock seemed to melt under the pressure of time instead of ticking away seconds. After what seemed like days, Tenten had reached her mirror.
She saw a horrifying sight.
It wasn't a dream, it was officially what we call reality.
