The merry band of misfits realise what had happened to them.

Chapter 2

Varric sat bolt up as soon as he heard the screams. He was quite surprised that it had been Fenris and Anders. He was about to say something witty, when he noticed a certain handsome, beardless dwarf sitting just a few feet away. Only then did he look down at his large bosom and the ornate, golden necklace around his neck.

He was in Isabela's body…

Shit! Now I know why they were screaming.

Luckily, the screaming didn't continue but Anders began to whimper to himself. Fenris just looked mortified.

"I'm gonna guess I'm not the only one in the wrong body." Much to his surprise instead of Isabela's voice, his own came out of his mouth. He glanced quickly at Anders ,it was Hawke's voice whimpering. Her body was sitting next to him, examining her armour while acting as if nothing hadn't happened.

"Maker, this is a bad dream, we can't have swapped bodies, we can't have." Sihen quickly stood up and began pacing the room. Varric noticed Merrill (well her body) frozen like a statue and very pale. It wasn't an enigma figuring out who was in Merrill's body.

"Hawke, calm down. I'm sure we can fix it." But Varric's words fell on deaf ears. Varric rose to his feet unsteadily.

Gosh, everything looks so small now

He strode up to Hawke, grabbed her by the feather pauldrons and slapped her right across the cheek. She looked absolutely gob smacked.

"Hey! Varric that's my body!" Anders voice came from the broody elf's body. Fenris jumped to his feet and glared at him.

"Out of all the bodies you could go to, Abomination! You go into mine!" Fenris yelled, well and truly pissed off. He did his best to look angry, but on Merrill's face it didn't work.

"Hey! I didn't chose your body. And I didn't throw the orb!" Anders clenched his fists, getting ready to lung at Fenris

"BOTH OF YOU STOP IT NOW!"

Yep, Hawke is back to her normal self, let the havoc commence

"Now there has to be a way to fix this. Let's just get back into our own bodies, THEN, we can kill Isabela."

" Oh come on Hawke! For all we know this could be fun." Said Isabela, then returned to examining the mage/pirate gear Hawke was wearing.

Hawke spun around and screeched at Isabela:

"YOU LITTLE Bitch! I am going to kill you for this." Anders and Fenris quickly restrained Hawke before she could harm her own body. Not exactly easily since Merrill's body wasn't strong and Anders was in an elven body.

Hawke took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Fine, where's that orb?"

"Oh it's here. I'll just put it in that box." Came Merrill's sweet voice as she staggered over on her now short legs.

"My, everything's so big now. Right there we go it's nice and safe now." Anders and Fenris carefully examined the orb.

"Elganad, does my hair really look like that from the back? And by the creators! I'm so skinny." Varric pinched the bridge of his nose.

Fenris and Anders rolled their eyes in annoyment. Meanwhile, Isabela was busy examining the curves of Hawke's body. Sihen's fists clenched as she began plotting of ways to kill the pirate.

"Well, I can understand some of the writing, but it's all praising the magistars and that sort of shit." Muttered Anders.

"Vehandis. We forgot to check the box for anything else." Fenris carefully shifted the straw around until he found a letter. He huffed as he passed it to Anders, everyone knew Fenris' disadvantage.

To his surprise Anders passed it back.

"Might as well put those reading lessons that Hawke's been giving you to use." Explained Anders as he continued to examine the orb.

Before Fenris opened the letter, Anders removed his gauntlets and put them gently on the card table. Another time Fenris would've complained, but he knew the gauntlets would impede Anders examination. He gingerly cleared his throat and began to read out loud.

"Dear Valued customer, here is the artefact you requested. I hope we will do business another time. Though do be careful with the Orb, any sharp impact will set it off, as me and my employees discovered a week ago. Yours faithfully Xenon the archivist and owner of the Black emporium. Vehandis!" Fenris scrunched the note up in anger.

"So, Fenris ended up with someone else's package. Should we take it back and hope Xenon has a way to fix this?" Suggested Isabela. But everyone knew that wasn't a good idea, Xenon would just swindle a shit load of money out of them. Then give them an obvious solution.

"What about we just drop it again? If makes us switch bodies then can't we keep on trying until we are in our own bodies." Everyone looked at Merrill, slightly stunned. She'd come up with a good plan so easily. Then Anders noticed Hawke seemed to be whispering to herself.

"Hawke, you ok?" He asked out of concern

"It's Justice, he's currently ranting about the mages plight. And he won't shut up. How the HELL do you cope with this? And you can shut up! " Anders shrugged his shoulders as Hawke murmured some obscenities about Justice

"I have no idea. Just try your best and ignore him. Shall we try Merrill's plan? Mind you when someone ends up in their own body, it might be best that they head back home." Said Anders, everyone gingerly nodded. He picked it up, took a deep breath and dropped it onto the floor. The wave of energy burst forth…

Justice will have some input in the next chapter. And Isabela gets very interested in the body she is in.
