Disclaimer- I STILL don't own Sailor Moon, but as the Stars theme song goes, "Makenai!" I
will never give up trying!
Author's Note- This I what, when I thought of the plot, I termed as "the chapter where
everything goes down." Ahem. Not literally. Currently listening to "Adia" by Sarah McLachlan.
Totally wrong for the subject matter, but (laughs manically) that's the FUN!
Switching Sides
by Starbrigid
Chapter Four
"When we get out of this car, you are so dead, Mamoru-baka!" Usagi called up, annoyed as
hell and rather frantic at the speed-limit-ignoring speed False-Mamoru seemed bent on
pursuing.
False-Mamoru smirked. "Okay, Odango! So we won't get out of the car!" Abruptly, he pulled
the speeding car to the side of the road in an undeniably illegal parking maneuver. He
unbuckled his seatbelt and plopped down in the backseat next to Usagi.
Usagi shuddered. "Mamoru-baka, you aren't thinking of... trying anything... are you?"
False-Mamoru shook his head, looking offended. "What kind of man do you take me for,
Odango! I'm a gentleman!" Actually, he really, really WASN'T, but that was beyond the point,
wasn't it?
Usagi bit her lip, then decided to try a diversionary tactic. Unfortunately, the only one she
could come up with was LAME, but she decided to try it anyway. "Mamoru-baka," she began
slyly, "Your tag's showing."
False-Mamoru jumped. "Oh god! Really? Where?" He began to frantically feel around his neck.
Usagi's diversion had worked, but she was too busy cracking up to try anything. Who knew
Mamoru-baka was so VAIN?
False-Mamoru stopped, realizing there was no tag. "Odango, that was mean!" he declared,
pouting.
"Yeah," Usagi muttered. "That's me. Mean. Can you let me go now?"
"Never! Not until you declare your love for me!" False-Mamoru shouted. "I mean, I don't love
you, but I think this body does."
Usagi's brow furrowed. "Mamoru-baka, is that some weird way of saying that you're
attracted to me?"
"No," False-Mamoru grinned. There was something about this girl, or maybe something his
body's personality felt, that made him want to tell her the truth. "Want to know a secret?"
"No."
"I'll tell you anyway!" False-Mamoru shouted. He leaned in conspiratorially. "I'm not really
Chiba Mamoru. But this is his body. We switched bodies. I don't know how."
Usagi giggled. "Are you serious?"
"Dead serious," False-Mamoru told her. "I'm really one of the leaders of an evil society of
aliens, and I attack the people of Earth to try to bring about our great mission. And the
other leader is my teacher and my lover, who I really miss, by the way. I'm gay, and look
kind of gender-unsure in my real body."
Usagi backed away ever so slightly. "Heh, heh," she said, stalling for time. But this was
serious! She was trapped in a car with a madman!
False-Mamoru sighed. "You don't believe me, do you?"
Usagi quickly shook her head, fearing for her life. "No, I believe you," she lied. "Please, tell
me more!"
"And so anyway, I'm really gay. But when I saw you in the arcade this morning, I realized
that this Mamoru guy is really attracted to you. He's hard for you. I think he might even be
in love with you. Now, I don't normally go for girls, it's not like me to act like this at all, and I
do have a significant other, but like I said, I do have this Mamoru guy's body now, so will you
kiss me already?" False-Mamoru then leaned back, satisfied with his speech and hoping for
Odango smoochies.
The next thing he knew, he was seeing stars. He looked up, barely able to make out
anything in his new dark pretty vision, and saw Usagi sitting before him, fists still clenched.
She looked mad as hell.
"How DARE you? You stupid, stupid Mamoru-baka!"
"Does that mean I'm not getting kissed?" False-Mamoru asked dizzily.
"Of course not!" Usagi spat. "Did you think you could erase the months torturing me and
your stupid, unlovable personality with some crazy body-switching story and incredibly
twisted words of love? Well, I'm not falling for it! I already have a man I love, and he's MUCH
NICER THAN YOU!!" With that parting shot, she reached over, pressed the button to unlock
the car doors, and stormed away.
She thought she had seen the last of False-Mamoru. Was she ever wrong...
***
Usagi was fast asleep, dreaming of bunnies and pink happy clouds and Tuxedo Kamen and
Motoki, when a noise suddenly woke her up. Was it already morning? No. On closer
inspection, it was still the middle of the night. But there was some horrible yowling sound
penetrating the silence. Usagi frowned irritably. Whoever was disturbing her sleep was going
to PAY!
She opened her window and leaned her head out, and growled at the sight that greeted her.
False-Mamoru had situated himself just under her window, and held a sickly-looking bouquet
of flowers. And he was... SERENADING HER??!
"Please come back to me, my love!" he howled in an only remotely musical fashion. "I love
you. I want you! I NEEEEED YOU! I NEEEEEED YOU! Please come back to me! Withooout you,
the nights are cold and lonely! It's winter all the tiiiime, withooout you! I NEEEEEED YOU!"
"Mamoru-baka!" Usagi screamed, madder than she had ever been in her life. "SHUT UP!"
False-Mamoru briefly stopped singing and pouted very visibly. "Don't you like my singing,
Odango?"
"NO!" Usagi shrieked emphatically.
False-Mamoru's pout deepened. "But I saw this movie on TV. The hero did this to the girl,
and she fell into his arms, swooning!"
"SHUT UP, MY PARENTS ARE GOING TO HEAR!" Usagi shrieked desperately. "AND YOU'RE NOT
MY HERO! GO AWAY!"
"No!" Mamoru called. "Makenai! I will never give up!" Without further ado, he continued his
song. "Come back to me, please, please, PLEEEEASE! I love you! I want you! I NEEEED YOU!
I NEEEEEED YOU! Withooout you, I can't live! I NEEEEEED YOU! I love you, I want you, come
back to meeeeee! Withooout you... Withoooout you! I NEEEEED YOU! Don't leave me now!
I NEE-EEE-EEE-EE-EEE-EEE-EEED YOOOOU! I NEE-EE-EEEE-EEE-EEE-EEE-EE-EEEEEEE-EE-
EE-EEE-E-EE-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-OW!!"
Usagi giggled. Quite heavy her old ballet trophy was. And she did have quite good aim from
being Sailor Moon. Giggling more, she threw down another an incredibly heavy object and
was rewarded by the silence, only broken by another "OW!" That should do it, then.
Unfortunately not. Still abiding by his slogan of "Makenai!", False-Mamoru continued, a bit
more unsteadily than before. "I NEEEEED YOU, NEEEED YOU, NEEEEEEEED- OW! OW! OW!
GOD!" Usagi burst into full-fledged laughter. Bet he hadn't been expecting the miniature
piano.
"OKAY! OKAY! I'M GOING!" False-Mamoru called, sounding offended. "But I will never forget
my love for you!"
Usagi giggled some more, before closing her window, flopping back down on her bed, before
falling into some much deserved sleep.
~The Dark Kingdom~
"No, there's nothing I'm not telling you," False-Zoisite chuckled nervously. "Why would I hide
anything from YOU, Kunzaito-sama?" The worst were flat, without feeling.
Kunzite sighed. Something was off, but he couldn't place it. In his experience, it was best to
just let these kind of things go. Everyone had off days, he decided. And Zoisite definitely
was an "everyone," though he himself wasn't.
"Very well, then, Zoisite," Kunzite said, eyes glinting with a combination of confusion,
amusement, and something else, that False-Zoisite was in firm denial over. "If you're quite
done your comical activities, let's go to what we came here for, shall we?"
False-Zoisite shifted uncomfortably. Then all of a sudden he was struck by inspiration. "Yes!"
he cried, thrusting his right hand up. "I do love chess, don't you, Kunzite-sama?"
"I don't mean chess!" Kunzite explained. "God, Zoi, you are so obtuse." The last part wasn't
said as an insult, but rather an endearing statement. Kunzite took the smaller man's
shoulders and leaned forward towards False-Zoisite...
Who jumped back, red and stammering. "Um, heh. Heh, heh. Heh." He grappled for something
to say. "Kunzaito-samaaaaaa! How 'bout them Bulls, huh?" He said brightly, then shot his
body's trademark innocent grin.
Kunzite's eyebrow's rose, and he pressed up against his lover. "Aren't you in the mood, Zoi-
chan?" he asked, voice low and husky.
False- Zoisite quickly shuffled back, pressed himself against the wall, and fumbled for a
reply. "I'd rather read, actually. Are there any books here?" he called out, fiddling,
desperate, incredibly lamely.
The Ice King's mouth was partly open, and he looked very annoyed with his fellow king. Then
he waved his hand, magic crackling. A second later, his eyes opened, wide with
understanding. "That's why you've been acting so weirdly," Kunzite declared. "That's why
you've been avoiding me, and why you couldn't teleport. You're not Zoisite."
"Of course I'm Zoisite!" False-Zoisite declared brightly. "See! Check out the body! I mean, I
have to be the shortest full-grown male alive!"
Kunzite actually ROLLED HIS EYES at this statement, then without warning, magical tendrils
coiled out from his eyes, slammed False-Zoisite against the wall. "Ow!" False-Zoisite cried.
Then his voice seemed to deepen and his whole form seemed to become more regal,
honorable, and heroic. Kunzite frowned. Who did Zoi remind him of? Then False-Zoisite
spoke.
"I won't tell you anything! You'll have to kill me first."
Honestly. So many people didn't understand the Ice King's true power. He focused his
magical energies, and then he knew whose spirit was in his lover's body.
***
Five minutes later: "Kunzite-sama? Can you stop puking in the toilet and let me down?
Ten minutes later: "Okay, you're still puking, but that's... perfectly understandable! It's not
like I'm judging you or anything!"
Twenty minutes later: "I take it that you found out who I really am, but there's no reason to
overreact so much! Besides, have some pity for the waste-collecting youma! Do you really think
they want to know the contents of a Tennou's breakfast that much?"
Thirty minutes later: Kunzite straightened up, spit the throw-up taste out of his mouth, and
pushed the trash can away. However, he still kept his expression of total nausea.
"Yesssss!" False-Zoisite shouted. "Finally!"
Kunzite's face showed true horror. Finally, he managed to choke something out. "I tried to
kiss TUXEDO KAMEN!"
"Yeah, it was really disgusting," False-Zoisite said helpfully. "Now can you let me down?"
Kunzite finally seemed to regain his composure. He strode forward, letting silver energy
flicker across his hands in a deliberate, menacing display. "What did you do to Zoisite?"
False-Zoisite shrugged. "Beats me. I went to sleep one night, woke up in this body."
Kunzite's eyes flashed, then he looked disgusted. "You're telling the truth."
"And that leaves us in our rather precarious current situation, doesn't it?" False-Zoisite said,
eyes narrowing keenly. "You have Tuxedo Kamen, enemy of the Dark Kingdom at your mercy.
But if you kill me now, you'd have to kill this body, and your snuggle bunny Zoisite would be
stuck in my own body. Not a situation I think either of us would be too fond of." Kunzite
nodded, recognizing good sense.
"So," False-Zoisite continued, "Here's my proposal. You let me down. Together, we figure
out what happened. We find Zoisite in my body, switch us back, then I get to go away.
Freely."
Kunzite didn't hesitate. "Deal," he said.
"How do I know you'll keep it?" False-Zoisite asked.
Suddenly, an all-too-familiar voice boomed in their heads. "KUNZITE! ZOISITE! STOP
WHATEVER NC-17 ACTIVITIES YOU'RE DOING AND GET YOUR SORRY ASSES DOWN HERE!"
"Beryl-sama," Kunzite whispered, voice reverent and fearful. With a wave of his hand, he
released False-Zoisite from his magical bond, then teleported the two of them to Queen
Beryl's throne room.
When she became visible to them, it was clear she was much less happier than the last time
they had seen her. Kunzite noted that she was clearly close to falling off the shaky precipice
of sanity into the seething ocean of insanity-
Wait, he had forgot who he was talking about. Kunzite remedied his mental statement, and
made it much more accurate. 'She's clearly close to falling off the shaky precipice of
Insanity, into the seething ocean of Even Greater Insanity.'
"I'll make this quick," Beryl blurted, way-too-quickly, eyes darting around. "Metallia-sama.
Was very clear. It should be quick."
"Is she always like this?" False-Zoisite whispered to his fellow king. Kunzite put a finger to
his lips in the universal symbol for quiet.
"Metallia-sama's had a change of heart. She regrets stopping our operation even a little bit.
Said something about feeling the power of the moon growing. Personally?" Beryl's eyes
flashed sarcastically. "I think she's just paranoid-schizophrenic, myself." She let loose a
burst of nervous giggles.
"Queen Beryl has officially left the building," False-Zoisite whispered to Kunzite, and this time
Kunzite didn't try to shush him. He had to agree.
"So, you two are to immediately go after the fifth crystal. The carrier's name is Reika, and
she's a brunette college student. Metallia-sama was so impatient she went ahead and found
out the carrier for you." Beryl giggled once again, only even more unsteadily.
"So, go, now! Oh, and when the Senshi and that meddlesome Tuxedo Kamen show up to try
to claim it from you, overwhelm them, and take their nijizuishou. Once you've gotten the
crystals, execute them all."
TBC.
