AN: After some REAL help from "tobymac", I finally got the new plot.
Welcome, dear reader, to
Switched!
Secret of the Journal: Book 2
Yeah, the two separate book thing is kinda my style (not to mention my good friend Tolkien's...). Anyway, I know the theme is kinda overused, but this is a good idea... Here goes! (Note: Starts in our favorite Psychic Gym Leader Sabrina's POV. Will switch to Jim's.) Please note that this chapter and a few more in the future could be rated PG for stuff they wouldn't allow in other G-rated stories. Anyway, this chapter gets a PG rating.
Chapter 1
Jim
"Why does he keep ruining our plans, my dear?" asked the Mexican general.
"I don't know, sir," I said.
"How did he get away with freeing all of our prisoners, including himself?" asked Cos.
"I don't know," I repeated.
"How did he get through your mental security system, hmm?"
"That I do know, sir. That traitor, Stephanie, promised to watch over them as I slept. I hadn't had much sleep in the weeks before that, so I figured why not? Anyway, then she let them all out. It wasn't my fault."
"Ah, but it was. You get one more chance to redeem yourself. If we get those gene-Pokemon, you can stay second-in-command. If not..."
He didn't have to finish his sentence. I had to get those Pokemon!
I went to my room and began forming a plan.
* * *
One month later...
The radio that served as my alarm turned on. "...for the torture and the pain? Made the blood from Heaven rain, I brought the hammer down!"
I sat up and yawned. I rubbed my eyes before fully opening them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Why was my room pink?
"Mom!!!" My voice must have cracked, because it was a little higher.
The door opened. "What's wrong, sweetie?"
Standing in the doorway was not my mother.
I screamed again.
"Kerry, what's wrong?"
Kerry?
I stopped screaming.
Hick Girl walked around the corner.
"Courtney? What are you doing in my house? And who is this woman?"
"Ker, what are YOU doing in MY house?" She asked it like someone else would have, but I couldn't place it.
"HICK GIRL, WHAT IS GOING ON?"
"Kerry, did you just call me Hick Girl? I am NOT Courtney!"
"You keep calling me Kerry! Why???"
I jumped out of bed and felt something I wasn't used to feeling.
I looked down and screamed yet again.
I ran to the mirror. Looking back was Kerry!
I screamed.
So did she.
"WHAT THE GOO IS GOING ON?!?"
I fell on the ground, confused and enraged.
"HELP ME!"
"HELP YOU? WHY AM I COURTNEY?"
"I AM NOT KERRY! I AM JIM!"
"JIM? WELL, I'M ISAAC, AND THESE ARE NOT MINE!" [S]he pointed at her chest.
"I DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE!" Then, I fell backwards and laughed.
"Mom, what's going on here?" asked Shawn, my (Kerry's) older brother.
"I think your sister and Courtney have gone insane," she replied.
"Sorry, Mom, we're not insane, but lemme make a few calls and I think I'll get this straightened out," I said, playing the part.
* * *
I dialed Isaac's number first. Might as well figure out who was there.
"Hello?" It was 'Sac's mom. I could hear screaming in the background that sounded like Isaac, but weren't.
"Can I speak with Isaac?"
"He's a little hysterical right now," she said.
"Tell him it's Jim."
"I'll try..."
In the background, the screaming was muffled.
"Listen, child, there's a girl on the phone claiming to be Jim. I don't know what kind of joke this is, but you need to just shut up and take this call!"
"Man, your mom is harsh," I said to Isaac.
Courtney blushed.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Isaac?"
"I'M NOT ISAAC!"
"I know, calm down. I know it sounds like Kerry, but I'm Jim. Isaac is right next to me, looking strangle like a certain hick."
"Goo?"
"Yeah, crazy. Listen, who is this?"
"It's Steve."
"Okay, meet us at the Trainer in like thirty minutes."
"Right..."
I hung up and dialed my own number. My mom must have been having trouble with whoever was inhabiting my own body...
"Hello?"
"Hi, it's, uh, Kerry. Can I speak to Jim?"
"I'm not sure Jim's very sane right now. He thinks he's Carol and is actually dreaming."
"Just let me talk to her, er, him. I can explain."
"Okay... Honey? Kerry's on the phone. She says she can explain."
"Hello?"
"Carol, it's Jim. In Kerry's body. Man, this is confusing! Anyway, we've somehow switched bodies. Just meet us at the Trainer in half an hour."
In ten minutes, we had calmed everybody down. I had also written down who everybody wasn't. Wow. That's a little strange. Anyway... My list looked like this:
Body: Mind:
Kerry Jim
Courtney Isaac
Isaac Steve
Jim Carol
Bob Maya
Goliath Stephanie
Philip Natalie
Natalie Philip
Maya Goliath
Steve Kerry
Stephanie Courtney
Carol Bob
It was rather confusing. Anyway, me and Kerry/Isaac ran to the Trainer to meet up with everybody else.
And there they were, trying to figure out who was who.
"HEY EVERYBODY, SHUT UP! I got a list right here," I yelled.
They quieted.
After reading off the list, they erupted again.
"YOU BETTER NOT BE LOOKIN' AT MY BODY THAT WAY!"
"I AIN'T LOOKIN' AT YOU EVER! NOT IF MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! IF I DID, I MIGHT MAKE MYSELF, IN YOUR BODY, TO THROW UP!"
This was a nice conversation between Courtney (in Stephanie) to Isaac (in Hick Girl).
"HEY, ISN'T IT A LITTLE CONVENIENT THAT PHIL AND NATALIE ARE SWITCHED? I MEAN, THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THE OTHER HASN'T SEEN BEFORE!" yelled Steve (inside Isaac).
Philip (in Natalie) punched Steve (inside Isaac). "Shut up! We do not! I'm trying my hardest not to find a mirror!"
Then Natalie (in Philip) punched him (in her).
Heh heh...
So far, I was the only calm one. Except for Carol, who was always calm, so she didn't count.
Anyway...
"SHUT UP!"
They died again.
"Thank you. Now, who has any idea what happened to our bodies and why I have this sudden fear of ants?"
They laughed. Only Kerry (in Steve) didn't get it.
"Maybe it was aliens," suggested Steve.
Then he was beaten up.
"Maybe we're all dreaming," said Carol.
"Then why are we all having the same dream?" asked Stephanie.
"I don't know! It was only a suggestion..."
"Any more bright ideas?"
"I think it was Sabrina," said Stephanie. "Her mastery of the mind can help her in ways we don't want to think about."
"Then maybe we need to pay our friend Sabrina a visit," I said.
"But they'll be watching for us this time," said Natalie.
"Ah, but will they?" I asked sarcastically.
"Shut up, Jim. Kerry. Whoever you are," said Bob.
"THIS IS TOO CONFUSING!" screamed Maya.
"No screaming in the building!" said the owner.
"Sorry..."
"We better wait until we get, uh, acquainted with these bodies before we try to take on Cos again. We don't know our abilities, and Goliath might try to lift something heavy in Maya's body and hurt her. I'd rather not return to my body and find that Carol has trashed it."
She gave me "The Look".
"Let's give it a week. Who knows? Maybe we'll find something about each other that we never knew," said Maya.
"Oh, now we're learning life lessons from all this?" asked Isaac.
"Shut up."
"No."
I left to get a little more sleep. All this switched-ness was giving me a headache.
Next time I looked up, I had unconsciously walked to my own house.
"Crud..."
I turned the other way and walked towards Kerry's...
AN: This is WAY too much fun. The rating is just because of the "These are not mine" joke and stuff in the future. So, what did you think? I think this could get interesting. REVIEWS ARE GOOOOD!
