Happy, cheerful sunlight streamed in through the window. Naruto groaned and tried to cover his eyes with his dog-shaped sleeping cap, then frowned as his hand came up with thin air. Discontent, he rolled over onto his back and tried to get back to sleep.

Sleep would not come. That was mainly due to the peaceful, buzzing chatter of people outside, seemingly lost in their daily morning routines.

That was very odd, as his apartment complex wasn't too crowded, but Naruto tried his best not to think too hard so early in the morning, especially not after...whatever the hell happened last night. He would never attend a "Rookie 9 get-together party" ever again. They were all underage, so there was no sake involved, but between Chouji eating all the ramen (ramen that he wanted to eat), Shikamaru muttering "troublesome" as he listlessly stared at the flashing strobe lights, Akamaru getting his muzzle into the food, and Sakura and Ino having a terrifying karaoke singing contest war, they didn't need it. It was already insane enough.

He vaguely remembered hanging out next to a thumb-twiddling Hinata, who, as he recalled, didn't want to sing, despite all the cajoling in the world from Sakura and Ino. At that point, their duel had gotten ugly, the party became the sight of carnage, and...

...What happened next...?

A piercing pain developed in his eyes, rendering sleep impossible. He scowled, finally opening them.

He blinked.

This...was not his room. It was too nice to be his room. Between the spacious length and width, the handsome mahogany table at the side, ornate lavender drapes, and a massive wardrobe, it looked like it was a room in a fancy aristocratic clan's house.

He looked down. Yeah, it definitely wasn't his bed either. The pillow was too fluffy and the linen looked waaay too expensive.

Did one of his friends bring him over to their house overnight? He'd have to find out who it was and thank them. He hoped it wasn't Ino. She would probably extract some humiliating favor from him as proxy punishment for whatever she fought with Sakura over last night.

Sighing heavily, he got up and glanced at the wardrobe mirror. What he saw made his blood run cold.

That wasn't his face. He wasn't that pale and he didn't usually have any hints of rose on his cheeks.

Those weren't his eyes. His eyes were a bright sky blue. These eyes were a blank white.

That wasn't his hair. He didn't have long, dark hair, somewhere between the shades of blue and black.

This...

Wasn't his body.

It was Hinata's.

What the hell? Was this some freaky hallucination brought on by a lack of sleep?

He reached out and tugged at a strand of hair, trying to confirm that this wasn't reality.

The hair was silky against his hand, shattering his hopes into millions of infinitesimal pieces.

Naruto screamed.

A very similar scenario was playing out not too far away.

Happy, cheerful sunlight streamed in through the window. Hinata, just like Naruto, was not a morning person, and she too tried in vain to shield her drowsy eyes from the piercing sun rays.

Sleep didn't come for her either, because for some reason, the drapes were not blocking out at least part of the sunlight (how odd, she thought sleepily; usually, she closed them at night).

Another strange thing her half-asleep mind registered was the absolute lack of noise in the Hyuuga compound. They were a large clan and most people would have been up and about by now, buzzing around the complex with their daily routines.

But today, there was nothing. No one. She had never understood the phrase "you could hear a pin drop" before (the Hyuuga were renowned for their eyes, not their ears). But today she felt as though a tiny hairpin could fall onto the ground and create all the noise of an earthquake. It was really that silent.

This oddity was what prompted her to reluctantly open her eyes.

Her confusion mounted as she took in her surroundings. She was clearly not in the Hyuuga compound. She was in someone's room. Judging by its size, it looked more like a room in a small apartment and not the huge house that her clan lived in. Did one of her friends bring her here?

Well...whoever it was, it had to be either Sakura or Naruto. Because everyone else had big clan compounds except for them.

She glanced around and spotted a poster on the wall, emblazoned with the words, "No Ramen, No Life" and an image of steaming cup noodles. On the bedside table was an empty cup of ramen. Surrounding this cup of ramen were three more cups of ramen. The low table on the floor had an entire unopened cardboard box, definitely full of cups of ramen.

Ah. Naruto's house, then. No one else on the planet would create a miniature shrine to ramen in their bedroom. But why did he bring her here? Did she do something totally undignified back at the party, prompting him to escort her to his house? A pang of guilt coursed through her. If she was sleeping on the bed, then he would have been forced to sleep on the couch, right?

And then she too glanced into the mirror in the room. And just like Naruto over at the Hyuuga compound, her blood curdled at the sight.

Sparkling sky blue eyes stared back at her, rather than her actual eyes, which were snow white.

She reached out a hand and tugged at a lock of spiky blonde hair. If her eyes deceived her, surely her touch wouldn't.

The hair was silky against her hand. This made her blood curdle even more, now that she was sure that this wasn't some screwed-up nightmare.

The last straw was the whiskers on her cheeks. Her stomach churned itself into knots as she tentatively prodded at them. Those were real too.

Panic built up in her chest.

I am never going to a Rookie 9 get-together party ever again, she thought in despair.

You can guess what happened next.

One thing did set apart their nearly identical experiences, however: Hinata's scream was much louder.

A/N: Based on the Naruto SD episode with the same premise. :) Except of course, instead of Naruto and Lee switching bodies, it's Naruto and Hinata here. For reference, this is set during some nebulous time period in Part 2/Shippuden.

Tune in for whatever mass chaos they'll cause, because this will be a multi-chaptered story!

And of course, please do leave a review. :)
