SOUL-SWITCHED DAYS
By XxXSeraph12XxX

…supposedly a ONEshot but I think it's a THREE-FIVEshots now…

"…hold it for you…"

…Hold what? 8D…

A/N: Hohoho! Here I am again with another dose of SOUL-SWITCHED DAYS chapter! I seriously had some rough problems with this chapter since… agh I 'll explain that on the next A/N:. I keep telling myself that I must finish this within a 5 chapter limit since I'll be spending the remaining time of my summer vacation over this 'supposed-to-be-one-shot-fic' -_- and I have problems keeping a fanfic under my plans. Ok enough dawdling, I must warn everyone B that the god-generals will be quite OOC here so brace yourselves… ;A; xD? R&R if possible.

HUMOR/PARODY/ROMANCE Some AriettaXSync insights

May contain some swearing, mild suggested scenes

May contain canon's background spoilers

I do not own Tales of the Abyss; the characters present as well.

Arietta's face twitched uncontrollably upon hearing those words from his agonizing comrade. Largo felt uneasy at the situation and was speechless to speak up about the matter. Time seems to have stopped for these 2 god-generals as they did nothing but to stay still in their places. Arietta snapped out of her senses when someone clasped on her hands tighter than ever before.

"…Ugh…I can't hold it anymore…" Sync broke the eerie silence when he felt another discomforting tug on his pelvic region. Arietta quickly shot Largo a "the-heck-am-supposed-to-do-here?" look.

"A-Arietta, breathe in and out slowly…" Largo calmly stated as he ran his hand on the tempest's back. He certainly does not know how to handle this vexing situation especially when they are in their swapped state. The pale-stricken Arietta threw her bottle of water straight out of nowhere with her free hand before she experiences the same 'pain' as her green-headed comrade is manifesting.

"Where can Arietta piss here in this freaking oasis anyway?" the hot-blooded pinkette exclaimed as she threw a tantrum.

"Sync, shut it… you'll just make things worse for her if you acted that way…" Largo face-palmed himself. "…besides, there's a restroom in the grocery over there but the question is… who's going to 'teach' her?" he added after he smother a chuckle. Arietta turned away feeling a bit annoyed and troubled. She cursed silently for a moment and then turned to face her jittering partner.

"D-damn it… " Arietta snapped, she grasped Sync's shaking hands tightly before she turned to face Largo. "C-can't you do it on my behalf, Legretta?" she crudely asked with a hint of plead and shame. Largo shook his head on the side and sighed.

"Unfortunately, I have no idea as to how you men do it since literally speaking; I was born as a woman…" he hesitantly admitted.

"G-Guys… I feel it leaking already…." Sync bashfully confessed, his hanging mask starts to misaligned on his face due to the tremors he produced. Largo clears his throat before he helped Sync stand from his place. Arietta grew even paler than her usual paleness. She scratched her head out of frustration.

"Agh! Inhale and exhale Arietta…Don't bring it down there!" she frantically instructed the pink-haired before she calls Largo's attention.

"Where did you say the restroom was again?"

"hm…. So 'this' happened after a smooth talking merchant left you with this spice holder?" Legretta examined the antique looking condiment shaker in her hands. She turned her head towards the man across from her.

"Y-yes… the peddler claims he was a spice supplier and so I took the chance to buy some since were far off from the towns." The middle-aged man spoke as he stares at his hands.

"I see…. just when did you bought from that guy again?" the blond woman gazed at him while she places the condiment shaker on the table. The head grocer felt Legretta's eyes at him and so he turned to face them.

"I bought from the guy just a few days ago, to be exact… a week ago." The man shook his head on the side feeling a bit uneasy. Legretta saw this sudden change from the man and so she narrowed her eyes as she carefully observes him.

"ahuh… then can you tell me when was the last time you used this condiment shaker on your food?" Legretta calmly said, she cupped her chin as she does so.

"…well, the last time we used the shaker was just few days ago… um just as soon as we bought it actually…" the man scratched his head timidly as a sweat drop appeared on his head. Legretta rolled her eyes as she suppresses a chuckle. This isn't a time for acting casual with the civilians she thought. Before she tries to ask again, the door flipped open along with Largo and Arietta who both were supporting Sync in the middle. Legretta stood up when she saw their youngest general wheezing and trembling only to be pushed down by Largo's voice.

"Pardon for our intrusion! But my comrades need your restroom NOW!" the buffed general boomed making the people inside the grocer abruptly pause from their business. The head grocer stood up as he motioned one of his men to accompany the 2 teen-generals to their restroom. Largo felt Legretta's eyes fall onto him so he approached her.

"What happened to Arietta?" the concern blond-general murmured at Largo as soon he finally stood before her. Largo clears her throat before he starts to explain the matter.

"She's fine; she just needs to take a leak…" Largo bluntly said as he brought his hand on his head.

Legretta slightly jerked from the side much to Largo's anticipation. He then explains further to ease the questions building up on his fellow comrade's head.

We now know how they are doing 'well', I wonder how things are going with Bloody Reaper and Snotty Bloody?

=8D=

"What the heck are you doing over there Dist!" The pale-haired man howled at his preoccupied partner. Asch briefly stops from his 'hidden agenda' and shot his head up towards the arrogant looking Dist.

"Mind your own business! You insolent child!" the 'snotty bloody' barked at Dist before he continues his business.

Dist's face twitched on the side before he hovered towards Asch. He wasn't able to fully control the speed of his hover chair thus it over sped towards the red-haired general. The bottom of the chair completely bashed Asch's head making it screwed down in the sand leaving a rather giant bump behind his head.

"GAHHHHH!" Asch screeched in pain as he held his smacked head. He tries to pull himself up from the ground and when he did he got smacked back by Dist's chair again ((Dist was trying to stop his chair when it got ran out of control and well instead of hitting the brakes he hit the reverse button causing the chair to sped backward)) and this time on his face.

"GUWAHHH!" He howled in agony as he grasped at his face AND behind his head. He didn't attempt to stand up again fearing he might get his head run-over by his comrade's hover chair. After getting his chair on control, Dist maneuvered his chair beside his battered up companion.

"S-Sorry about that… Your stupid chair suddenly ran out of control…" he justified as he stifled from smirking. Asch shot at him with daggered eyes.

"YOU FOOL! YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!" he boomed at Dist, his face was completely red and you can see a dent and fresh bruises caused by the bloody reaper's chair.

"H-hey I said I'm sorry and I didn't even mean it!" Dist retorted back, his face twitched again from anger.

"You have some nerve to answer back, boy!" Asch spat as he massaged the bump on his head. "You simply have no respect those who are older, you know?" he rattled harshly between his huffed breaths.

"Oh I have respect alright… from the 'elderly' that is…" Dist rolled his eyes as he felt annoyed and tired from hearing anymore babbles. He averted his eyes towards a group of monsters flocking around something….

Before the snotty bloody could retaliate, Dist yanked him up before unsheathing the maestro sword from Asch's sheath. The stern-eyed Dist pointed the sword towards the herd of monsters.

"Those monsters are acting violent over something…." The scientist muttered loudly enough for his snotty comrade to hear. Asch threw a 'I-don't-give-a-damn' face at him.

"Who cares anyway? If you are planning to investigate at them, leave me out of it!" the red-haired teen haughtily yelled at him before he goes back to his place again. A vein suddenly popped at Dist's head as he eyed his lazy comrade fiddling something on his place.

"Suit yourself, Reaper!" Dist barked at him before dashing towards the flocking monsters. He thrusts his swords around until he stabbed a monster to death. He started to kill them off one by one starting from a lonely sand fang. He noticed this sand fang was having troubles from moving around as it constantly tries to flap its legs from the ground. Dist briefly stared at the weird behaviors of the white serpent.

"What the fuck is this monster trying to do?" he wondered as he leapt backward to observe the sand fang's actions. The white serpent continues to jump up and down while futilely flapping its legs off the ground much to Dist's annoyance and disgust. When he thought he was starting to hallucinate, he quickly snapped himself out by ruthlessly pummeling the monster down with his sword until it dies.

This time, he dashed towards a group of rustlets flocking over something on the ground. The bloody scientist saw something which turned out to be a 'someone' upon seeing a helpless hand sticking out from the horde of violent rustlets. Without stopping to think what his next moves will be, he quickly slashes the bird-like creatures down one by one until they are dead. He saw one surviving rustlet on the ground trying to escape from the pale-headed general. What's weird is that it was crawling on the ground and making shrieking-hissing sounds.

"Now this bird-type monster is behaving like a serpent?" Dist made an odd face at the weird rustlet before plunging his sword on its body. It cried out its last breath before it was totally silenced by it's death.

After he killed them off, he scanned around the vicinity until his eyes landed on an unconscious man beaten up in the ground. He was still alive since he can see his chest rising and falling.

"Hey, are you alright?" the concerned scientist asked as he hold the barely alive merchant.

The merchant quivered before opening his eyes to see his savior supporting his back. His eyes were still hazy thus he mistook Dist to be a woman because of his flower-petal ornaments around his neck and his rather femish voice. The merchant subtly smiled before pulling his last strength to caress Dist's face. The pale-haired general cringed and was shock of his bold actions.

"T-Thank y-y-you…my heroic snow white…." He drifted off to sleep within Dist's arms after exerting his last energy to thank his 'heroic snow white' xDD. Dist's face made an irksome look at the sleeping merchant. He slapped the merchant's hand away from his face before he uncaringly dragged his body back.

The haughty Asch abruptly stood from his place bearing a smug look on his face. He was holding some sort of toy robot on his hand, Dist didn't even pause to look nor show any hint of interest as he went on and passed the cocky teen towards his hover chair and drop his 'baggage' on its sitting. Asch threw a tantrum when his only companion totally ignored his enthusiasm to showcase his new invention.

"Hey, aren't you even interested to see my newest invention?" the hot-blooded 'runny' haughtily stated, he made an odd face as he pat his newest creation.

"Who gives a shit on your pathetic crap, Reaper?" Dist angrily barked, he pointed his sword towards his stuck-up partner. Asch's crimson-red hair strands quiver out of his head as he cringed from the spot. He shot another snotty look at the pale-haired general.

"H-How dare you to point that thing to me!" Asch screeched as he backed-away from Dist. "You should have a doctor check on you, you hot-blooded boy!" he added before he turned his back at his pale-headed partner.

"We need to get back in the oasis, I found an idiotic merchant here getting beat up by weird monsters…" Dist shoved aside Asch's retorts as he glanced at the sleeping merchant on his chair. "Also, I need to deliver my report to Legretta about those weird monsters as well…"

Asch arched an eyebrow when he heard his comrade talking about weird monsters all of the sudden. "What do you mean by 'Weird Monsters', Asch?" he inquired as he narrowed his eyes on Dist.

"Have you seen a white-serpent like monster trying to fly off the ground? A bird-creature who has wings to fly but prefers to crawl in the ground and hiss like a snake?"

"T-That's preposterous…" Asch commented as he adjusted his glasses on his face. Yep, 'Dist' still has his glasses on him despite being at Asch's body.

"So you haven't then, let's get going now before we ran ourselves into those strange fiends." Dist barked as he yanks his occupied chair.

Asch brought his hand under his chin as he followed his comrade back to the oasis. Little did the red-headed teen knew that there was a breeze spirit lurking behind him since he was busy minding in his own thoughts. The monster spirit suddenly tackled the preoccupied Asch on the ground.

"GYAHH!" he shrieked as he tries to shove the fiend out of his back. Dist shot his head back at his comrade before he palmed his forehead out of irritation.

"You really a magnet of trouble, Reaper!" he remarked before he left his chair behind and aided his fellow general. The breeze spirit was somehow allured by the bloody Reaper's toy robot when it started to nudge it out his hands. Asch noticed this so he tried to pull his toy away from the persistent breeze fiend.

"AGH! What's with this monster getting my beautiful and magnificent creation out of my hands!" he boldly yelled, he grasped tightly on his 'masterpiece' when the breeze spirit started to tug it off of him. Dist noted this action as he decided to take the robot and use it to lure the breeze spirit away.

"Give me that Reaper! Can't you see that monster wants that thing?" he boomed as he joins the tug-of-toy charade.

"Now what would that creature want with my masterpiece?" Asch retorted back as he tightens his grip on his popular invention.

"How the heck should I know? Just give it to me so I can use it to slay that monster!" Dist angrily yelled, he started to shove the toy out of his comrade.

"NEVER UNDER MY DEAD BODY!"

'You ask for it…' Dist delivered a blow on Asch's head using the hilt of his sword. Once his comrade was knocked out of his consciousness, he grabbed his petite robot and threw it at the breeze spirit which in turn, exploded out in mid air. Dist snorted as he noticed his uncooperative comrade lifelessly lying on the ground.

"Great! Now I'm walking back with two unconscious morons under my sleeves." He scratched his head before he dragged his partner and threw his body on Dist's hover chair. He heard a painful moan coming from the unconscious merchant he saved earlier. He then dragged his floating chair back towards the oasis. It sucks to be him right now…

=80=

Legretta tried to calm herself down and absorb everything his fellow-general said. After he had answered most of her questions, she sat down and laced her hands and place her chin at them. Largo clears his tired throat before he requests for a glass of water at the man who manages the grocer. Without saying a word, the man quickly complies and fetched the black lion his requested water.

"Shouldn't you be accompanying those two, Legretta?" the blond general asked, she rubbed her temples before turning her head towards the black lion.

"Y-Yes, I guess I should… but I doubt I can do much there…" Largo croaked as he tries to stifle a chuckle.

"Arietta is a 'girl' you know… she needs some support from a woman…not from a sardonic boy on a girl's body" Legretta sighed.

Before Largo could respond back, the man who manages the grocer came with a glass of water at hand. He placed the glass in front of the black lion before sitting across the god-generals. Largo quickly grabbed the water to take a drink and when he is half-way down to his intake, Legretta muttered something within his hearing range.

"…They say prevention is the best medicine to avoid those unexpected situations…"

As soon as he heard those words, he suddenly coughed out the water inside of his mouth. The middle-aged man across of them stood up from his sit to help the black lion only to be stopped by a wave of Legretta's hand.

"You didn't have to *cough*boldly say it… *cough*" Largo gruffly shouted at Legretta, he wiped himself before grimacing at his rather 'rude' comrade.

"What? I only said what comes to my mind…" Legretta chuckled before he patted Largo's back. "I'm perfectly aware that all I will do is 'sit' down and do 'it' but you?..." she smother another chuckle fearing the black lion may think she was teasing him.

"Then what the heck are you suggesting for me to do? Largo?" the buffed-general boomed. "Are you implying that I am completely clueless as to how I can urinate in a man's body?" his voice rasped at the blond general. Legretta shook her head before she replies.

"I suggest that you should be the one to teach Arietta if you do have an idea as to how men do it… not unless you are as innocent as her…" Legretta stood up from her place then faced the man across of them.

"'Mam', you said before that you found yourself in your husband's body a few days ago right?" she coolly asked at the man, her arms were all folded.

"Y-Yes… that's true…" he replied with a hint of timidity.

"Then would you share us your experiences with the toilet if you may?" she calmly stated, her eyes were glued on the man's flushed face.

"I-I …t-t-the t-toilet y-you say?" is face reddens as he looks down to hide his reddening face.

"I see… so it wasn't pleasant that's for sure, right?" Legretta lowly chuckled. The man timidly nodded as he tries to hide his face with his hands. The blond-general turned to face his partner whose face was also beet red.

"Argh… I don't understand as to how you can calmly face this matter, Largo…" the black-lion face-palmed himself feeling chagrined. The blond co-senior general stood beside him and subtly sighed.

"Alright…I guess I have to do it myself then…" Legretta lowly sighed before leaving Largo and the head grocer as he walk towards the restroom

Largo was completely stupefied with her sudden move. What does Legretta meant by doing it herself? Is she going to potty-train their naïve little Sync? Wait- I mean the real 'Arietta' to pee on Sync's body? Lol

Before Largo tries to talk back, the door once again opened revealing one their fellow comrades. The pale-haired general was surprisingly not on his mobile chair but instead, a pummeled red-headed teen lies lifelessly on it along with a beat-up merchant. The said pale-haired general was beside the hover chair, a maestro sword at his hand. Legretta stopped on her feet to turn to see who has entered while Largo snapped himself from his reverie to face their newly-arrived comrades.

"A-Asch? What happened with the two of you?" Largo queried as he approaches Dist. Legretta's curiosity over their other fellow god-general took over her head thus momentarily forgetting about Arietta and Sync's dilemma.

Speaking of their dilemma, how are they coping with it?

=xD=

"Sync… I can't do it…."

Arietta exasperatedly sighed. She's done far as to keep the men's restroom all for themselves and it wasn't easy to do it all to her own without leaving malice thoughts to others.

'This girl is requesting to keep the men's comfort room all to herself? And with a BOY?'

Now she's doing as far as accompanying her male friend to pee…

"Gah! Just do it as how you girls do so… it doesn't make any difference anyway!" Arietta furiously barked before palming her forehead. She was leaning against the cubicle's door where her green-haired comrade was pissing… XD

"B-But…if I do that then… I'll s-see….'it'… *sniff*"

Arietta irately flushed. "I-I told you it doesn't make any difference because when you stand and sit, you'll see it! What do you want me to do about it? Hide and hold it down for you?" her shrill voice echoed throughout the small restroom. If it was tweaked a little bit higher, I think it's enough to shatter the mirrors.

"*sniff* N-Noo… I-I just wanna go back to my body…and pee peacefully…*sniff*"

"Tch… you're not the only one… and what did I said about crying, Arietta?" she rasped as she shook her head to glare at the door.

"I-I'm sorry... *sniff* Y-you're right, the Major and the others must have been having a hard time coping with their current bodies… I-I should do my best to bear this until we get to our normal selves again…"

Arietta's sharp crimson eyes widened at her comrade's statement. It was too mature and brave for her meek co-general to say such a thing. She crossed her arms and stared in the mirror just in front of her.

"Now that you came to realize it, now's the time for you to act how you should especially now that you are posing as Sync the tempest." She coolly muttered as she stares herself in the mirror.

There was a short silence between the two juniors after Arietta spoke. The pink-haired general sighed indignantly as she turned away from the mirror. "I just realized that I've been straying out from your character as well… let's not slip up anymore than we already have, alright?"

"….o-ok… I understand…" as soon as Sync said those words, a flushing sound was heard startling the composedness out of Arietta. She jerked away from the cubicle's door when it started to open. Her stern-crimson eyes widely shook when she saw her male comrade looking at her without his mask. She can clearly see his sparked-lit emerald eyes drowned with zest and zeal causing a sudden throb on her heart. She didn't realize she was actually blushing by the time. This sudden feelings and uncontrollable movements troubled and bewildered her.

"Thanks for waiting for me, 'Arietta'…" he warmly said, his bright green eyes glittered while a subtle smile crept on his face. Arietta can't take the sudden change and her sudden reactions towards her fellow comrade and without thinking, she shut the cubicle's door right in his face with a loud thud before turning around.

"W-Whatever! W-wear the damn mask, 'Sync' and stop pulling a cheesy look!" she complained as she glared herself on the mirror. 'Damn it… what's happening to me… my chest feels like it's going to explode any minute now…' she thought as she noticed how red her face was. 'What the… my face is…hot?'

"O-Ooww.. y-you didn't have to do that…." Sync whined as he rubs his face before putting his mask on. He opened the door and noticed his comrade flustered over her face. He shook his head in puzzlement. "Sync, are you alright?"

Arietta shook her head with her slender arms before facing her comrade. "I-It's nothing, let's get the hell out of her here before those bastards started to think we're doing some miracle here…" she snorted as she walked passed Sync towards the door out of their restroom.

"R-Right…." the green-haired boy heaved a sigh before following behind his partner. He took a quick glance on the mirror before completely exiting the restroom.

'I wonder how I got the courage to speak and face 'him' like that…'

=w=

A/N: My Lorelei… seems like they're swapped bodies are giving off weird effects into their minds… tsk tsk tsk… oh well that's natural… I think? XD oh yeah I really had a hard time making this chapter grrr… I don't know why but maybe because I was afraid of making things too awkward or too much OOC than it needs? I dunno... too bad things must end quick since the ending is quite near (and the chapter limit too is in its peak) I have one more week left of summer vacation and after that, I'll start updating by months now especially on my main fic You are my Song. Yes please read that fic and R&R as much as possible ;w; A-Anyways that's all for now! What lies ahead seems to be too rush but anyways with your reviews, I'm sure things won't end to sudden or in rather forced out way. Expect a rather long chapter next time: P because this one is tad short… lol for me xD

XxXSeraph12XxX OUT!
