Life's Suprises - Chapter 2 By PinkyToes Rating: PG

I don't know if I want this fic to be so humorous anymore. After all, this is a romance fic, and love is not fun and humor all the time. However, since this fic started out as a humorous one, I will do my best to continue the humor and repress my urges for a bit of drama *sigh* Anyway, I'll save the drama for another story. Ok, on with the story. Enjoy!

*****************

"Usagi, you have to transform."

"I know Rei - oops, Mars - I just need a few moments alone."

"Why on earth would you need a moment alone, now especially, since we're about to find a BIG AND UGLY YOUMA!"

"STOP YELLING AT ME! I just need a few moments alone because I feel there are voices in my head telling me that something special is going to happen today. So there!"

Usagi stuck her tongue out at Rei.

"Usa..I knew that I should have analyzed you the minute I met you. You're aura gives off waves of...I don't know...abnormality. Really, Usa, I thought you were normal enough to not listen to those *voices* in your head. There is help available for these types of things you know..psychiatry, psychology, you name it, the modern world of medicine will give it to ya 100%! But please, let your *voices* go..let them be free...ignore them..free them from your mind..free them, free them, free them..."

By this time, Rei is performing some sort of hypnotic trance motions with her hands and waving them in a circular motion before Usagi's eyes. Usagi's eyes follow Rei's moving hands and slowly, Usagi begins to get drowsy..and sleepy..and she started muttering nonsense...

"Free my voices...free my voices..be free, my voices.."

"OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! USAGI! SNAP OUT OF IT! REI IS NOT PRIESTESS ENOUGH TO HYPTONIZE YOU! BESIDES, HYPNOSIS IS JUST SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE AND ILLOGICAL!"

At Ami's fervent cries, Usagi snapped out of her trance and rubbed her eyes slowly. She stayed silent for awhile. The others watched her. The rest of the already-transformed senshi watched their leader to make sure that the "hypnosis" had worn off. Usagi removed her hands from her eyes and looked at her senshi, silently, as if contemplating something. Seconds, minutes ticked by.

"Nope. The voices are still there."

The senshi sweatdropped and Rei facevaulted to the ground.

"Look, guys, just leave me here for a minute. Go fight the youma and weaken it. I'll be there in a jiffy and moon dust it. Heck, I can even use this minute to make up a new intro for battle!"

"Err..ok, fine. We'll leave you here for a minute. Sixty seconds, Usagi. More than that and I'll flame your butt myself. Ok? And don't even think about going to the arcade. We are awfully close to it so there's always a chance you'll run back in and order fries. So...clear your mind and talk back to your voices..I suppose...see ya!"

After muttering a quick 'let's go guys', Sailor Mars led Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter to the park, where the big, bad, and the ugly was already sucking a couple's precious energy.

No matter how much Usagi wanted to run after her friends and join them in the fight, something kept nagging her in the back of her mind. It's almost as if a warning is sent to her and that this battle will be a life-altering one. Oh, how her brain hurts. Quickly chanting her transformation spell, Usagi turned into Sailor Moon and ran after her friends to the park.

'Here goes nothing..'

********************

Tuxedo Mask has been up in the tree for god knows how long. The ongoing battle has been a long one, but an easy one. The senshi hasn't needed his help so far, and he can only crouch on this tree limb for only so long. He yearned to stretch his legs and just prop himself up on the trunk and have a nice nap. But, duty calls and he can't give in to selfish pleasures.

He realized, arriving at the scene, that Sailor Moon wasn't with the rest of the senshi. Granted, she's usually late to the battles, but somehow, he felt that she should have been with her senshi.

'There she is.'

Sailor Moon entered the scene, all flying pigtails and the tight-fitting bodysuit. Now, Tuxedo Kamen wished even more that he can prop himself up next the tree and just watch the show because Sailor Moon and her long legs are just too tantalizing and enchanting...

Quickly pulling himself out of his daydream, Tuxedo Kamen realized that Sailor Moon is in trouble. A ball of energy is about to hit her back and she didn't even realize it. Bending his knees, he crouched and jumped off the tree branch and landed on the grass underneath. Running as fast as he could, he reached Sailor Moon and pushed her out of the way. However, he wasn't fast enough.

The ball of energy came hurling at both Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon. While pushing Sailor Moon out of the way, he had somehow turned her body so that he was facing her and their sides were to the energy ball. So, when the energy ball hit the couple, both bodies absorbed the blow. When the light show died down, the senshi saw that both Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen had been blown back into a tree and they were unconscious.

The four senshi, immensely worried, quickly combined their attacks and destroyed the monster. Running to the unconscious couple, they crouched down and checked for their pulses. The pulses were there and still strong.

Sailor Mercury pulled out some kind of stick from her subspace pocket and put the sticks under the unconscious bodies' noses. Immediately, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen jerked awake.

"Geez.....Sailor Mercury..the things you pull out of your pocket..."

Sailor Mercury rolled her eyes at Sailor Venus' comment and returned her attention to the still-drowsy heroes. She pulled her computer out of her pocket and examined the two bodies of internal or external injuries. She also checked for any difference in brain waves. There was nothing wrong with them. She sighed in relief.

"How are you guys? That was quite a blow. Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Kamen, are you both okay?"

"I'm fine, Mercury."

"Me too."

"Errmm....Mercury...my voices feels a bit funny."

"Yes, Sailor Mercury, I feel that my larynx is giving off some off-pitched sounds. Can you check my voice for me?"

Sailor Mercury was shocked to hear Sailor Moon spewing off words like 'larynx'. Never in her life would she have suspected that Usagi knew the parts of her own body. Looking around at the rest of the senshi, she saw the same shocked faces on everyone else's face.

"Hey, wait a minute! You have my voice!"

"Sailor Moon? You have MY voice!"

"Nu uh, mister. Look, I know my voice is pretty, but you CANNOT STEAL IT!"

"Look, Sailor Moon. I have no idea what you are talking about. I like my voice just fine, so why don't you give it back and we'll finish this. I'm beat!"

"Look, *Tuxie*, just because you're hot and dashing - oops, - I mean...anyway..doesn't give you the right to talk to me that way! Now, give me my voice back!"

Rubbing her forehead in frustration, Usagi was shocked to find her tiara gone and a mask replacing the front of her eyes and part of her forehead. Snatching the mask off, she was even more shocked to find the white mask of Tuxedo Kamen!

"CHIBA MAMORU?!"

The rest of the senshi was shocked to see Tuxedo Kamen peel off his mask and reveal his true identity. Immediately, the four senshi fainted and fell promptly to the ground.

"WHERE? WHERE? IS THAT JERK HERE?!"

"Jerk? What, I'm not a jerk! Oh geez..why do I sound like this?!"

"Hmm..now that I think about it..the senshi fainted when they saw me take off my mask...and then...they said something about Chiba Mamoru...ugh...my brain hurts soooo much!"

Walking to the nearby fountain in the middle of the park, "Sailor Moon" cupped some water in her hands and quickly splashed her face with the cool liquid. Sighing in content at the refreshing feeling, she cupped another water in her hand. Leaning forward so as to see her face better, she splashed her face with the cupped water and wiped the excess off. Opening her crystal light blue eyes, she was shocked to see midnight blue staring back. She was also shocked to see the face of Chiba Mamoru looking back at her.

"Jerk! What are you trying to do, scare me--"

However, when "Sailor Moon" turned around, she was shocked to find no one behind her, and the Chiba Mamoru she expected wasn't around either. Turning back to her water, she checked her reflection again. There he was. Finally understanding what's going on, Usagi went silent. She had somehow become Chiba Mamoru.

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh Christ! You're just like Odango! I swear, your wails can make anybody deaf! Even the deaf become deafer from your wails!"

"Hey! Don't call me ODANGO! THAT JERK - who is now me - CALLS ME THAT!"

"Tuxedo Kamen" was more than a little surprised to see his face and body talking to him. If Sailor Moon is in his body..then..whose body is he in?

Realization sunk in and soon, he gave a wail of his own.

"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

"Gosh, and you say I'm loud..men and their chauvinistic natures.."

"Christ, Sailor Moon! We've switched places!"

"Wait, I'm in your body, and you're in mine?"

"YES!"

"So..if I'm in your body, and I'm in Chiba Mamoru's body, then you're Chiba Mamoru?"

"YES!"

"Sailor Moon" fainted with the rest of her senshi.

"Tuxedo Kamen" sighed and just propped himself on the tree and stared at the five unconscious girls.

Sigh...

***********************

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen switched bodies?

OOOOOO.

Not as much humor, because I needed to explain the situation and there was more stuff going on. Sorry.
