Chapter One: A Rude Awakening

It was another dreary morning for Fenneko. She was never particularly fond of Mondays, but the early mornings were not a good time for her. She'd usually wake up from a pleasant dream where she is rescued from boring nine to five job as an accountant, only to be thrusted right back into reality. Followed by a sad bowl of cereal, some TV if she woke up early enough, a quick scroll through her feed, concluded with a long drive to her job. A pretty plain morning routine, but one that seemed to get longer as the days go by. And for the first few seconds of waking, the fennec fox had no reason to believe that this morning would be any different from the last.

That is, until she realized that her apartment was quite different from what she remembered. She made the mistake of going out drinking the night before work; maybe her mind is just messing with her? No, the bed was all different, her sheets were "fancier" (for lack of a better word), and the entire structure was different. Almost as if she had woken up in a completely different apartment.

"Huh," she thought to herself as she rubbed her eyes, "Did I get kidnapped during my sleep? Ugh, I swear, when I find out wh-"

Her thoughts came to a complete halt, as she takes a look at her hands. In the place of a her usually light brown paws were two… hooves. Deer hooves to be precise.

"...What the fuck."

That's all she could say. She looked down on the rest of her body, to find that she was a bit taller, a bit curvier, and dressed in a pink nightgown that she doesn't even own! She was in the body of a deer! Not just any deer… she was in the body of Tsuno-

"N-no! Please, anybody but HER! Maybe it's just a different deer."

It wasn't. She got a notification on her phone, that turned out to be a like on was apparently her Instagram account. It was a selfie of Tsunoda, taken at a Chinese restaurant, as she apparently had a fortune cookie with her meal. Fenneko was even more terrified than before. She rushed out of the bed, and into the bathroom, as if to see what nightmare she had gotten herself into! She slowly looked into the mirror to find the face of…

Tsunoda. The face of the one person that Fenneko hated most in the world… was looking at her reflection.

"...This a nightmare. This is an actual nightmare! There's… There's no way this can be happening! I MUST be dreaming!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door. The former fennec fox was afraid to answer, as this was technically not her home. With a gulp, and a quick sip of water, she went to the door, putting her newfound deer-ear next to it.

"H-hello?", she shyly whispered.

"Oh thank goodness, you're still here!"

The voice was all too familiar to Fenneko. In fact… it was her own voice! Without hesitation, she opened the door to find… her own body… damn, she looked good.

"Hello, Fenneko!" said… Fenneko's body. Her voice had a familiar inflection to it, though. "I take it you're having a rough morning too?"

"...Ts-... Tsunoda?" said the real Fenneko.

"Yep. It's me… we switched." said the real Tsunoda.

The two could only gaze at each other.

"...I'm not dreaming, am I?" said Fenneko.

Tsunoda shook her head.
