--> Aloha Crawford

Shuichi finishes his shopping and makes his way over to the food court. "Oh boy! Yuki will really love my surprise! I only hope he'll still talk to me" Shuichi sighs depressingly. Out in the crowd he spots Hiro who has a concerned look on his face. Hiro is pointing a finger at Sakano who's now sporting an oversized Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts and a pair of thongs. Hiding behind a potted plant Shuichi eavesdrops on his two companions.

"Is that the best you could do?!" Hiro shakes his head. Sakano replies "I looked all over but couldn't find a suit in my size. You're lucky because there's not much difference between you and the guy you switched with." Hiro inquires "Why didn't you just check the closet in the room you were staying in? I'm sure there was something for you to wear."

 Sakano answers while sweat dropping "I did but those white suits were too nice looking. I just couldn't bring myself to put one on. You should have seen them, Hiro! (Sakano's eyes get starry) They were so pretty and all very expensive looking."

Shuichi decides to join in "Hey you guys!" as he jumps out from behind the bush and grabs Hiro. This scares the poor guy since he's still not use to Shuichi's appearance. Sakano suggest "Why don't we go find Suguru? I'm sure he's found some information by now." The three head over to the library.

Mind Control And Bronco Riding Don't Mix!

Everybody put your hands together for "Bad Luck"! The live studio audience is screaming uncontrollably as the music begins.

Farfarello lip syncs as Nagi throws his voice. Mr. Rudolph screams out "Ride that guitar!!!"

Schuldig mutters to himself "Dammit! I can't do three things at once! Why don't you try mind controlling, bronco riding and playing the guitar at the same time!" He starts thrusting the guitar back and forth between his legs while trying to brainwash the audience. "Man, this is tiring! How many songs do we have to do? I'm glad I don't do this as a profession!" sweat is pouring off the side of his face.

Yuki, K and Tohma conversed among themselves but was not paying attention to the band. "Everything seems to be going great! Shuichi sounds wonderful!" Meanwhile the home audience watching the program hears Nagi's voice which is not as energetic as Shuichi's.

Shuichi and the gang are about to enter the library when they hear a familiar tune. Hiro shouts "Hey wait a minute! That's our song!" as he grabs Shuichi by the arm and runs into the T.V. / Stereo Shop. They stare in amazement as they see themselves performing "Super Drive". The music is pretty accurate but the voice is definitely someone else's.

Sakano joins the two "That's right; today we had a live television performance. I tried to tell you this the other day . . . "Shuichi and Hiro scream simultaneously "Live T.V. performance!!?"

Shuichi then observes his counter part "How can the audience be cheering that poser! He sounds a little gloomy to be me!" He inspects himself closer as he note "Oh I'm suppose to wear an eye patch and gloves! Good idea, I'll look for some when I get back to the room."

Hiro takes a good look at his double "What in the hell is he doing to my guitar! Is he trying to ruin my reputation!!? I only hope Ayaka-chan doesn't see this."

Shuichi grabs Hiro out of his thoughts and points at the screen. "Look Hiro! Look! It's Suguru and he's wearing a bright neon orange suit! Good thing the real one not here to see this." Hiro agrees "Yeah, I know what you mean."

"Those imposters sure have some weird habits . . . Look at mine! He seems to be riding my guitar like some kind of pervert! What a sick and twisted individual! How dare he try and ruin my wholesome image!"

Sakano interrupts the two as he pulls them out of the store and into the library. They notice Suguru in the reading room and head over to meet him. Sakano questions "Did you find out any information?"

Suguru pales and faces the three "I got some bad news guys. Well you see . . . there's no cure for the "Buddha of Transformation" . . . it just wears off and eventually you return back to normal. Shuichi pipes in "Really? That doesn't sound so bad." Suguru continues "Well I don't know how to tell you this but the effects can last anywhere between a few days to a few years." (All three men scream)
