Chapter 6

The next day...

Ric walked into Sonny's hospital room. He had a black eye and a scratch across his cheek.

"What happened to you?" Sonny asked.

"Let's just say Carly didn't really like that I wanted to sleep on the couch," Ric said.

The night before...

Ric walked into Sonny's penthouse. Carly walked down the stairs.

"Hey, are you coming to bed soon?" she asked.

"Uh, I think I might sleep on the couch tonight," Ric said.

"Why?"

"Uh, well, 'cause, uh, my back hurts."

"Well, sleeping on the couch won't help your back."

"Oh yeah, right, well, uh, I actually think the couch might be more comfortable."

"I get it, you don't want to be with me anymore, do you?" Carly started to cry.

"No, it's not that. Look, I know you don't believe me but I'm not Sonny, I'm Ric."

"That's your excuse? God, you don't have to lie to me, Sonny. If you don't want to be with me then just tell me!"

"No, Sonny does want to be with you it's just that I'm not Sonny."

"I'm sick of all your lies!" Carly slapped Ric across the face.

"I am not lieing to you! I am Ric!" Courtney walked in.

"Hey, what's going on?" she asked.

"Sonny doesn't want to be with me anymore," Carly said, still crying.

"It's not that, look, Courtney, I'm Ric, I'm stuck in Sonny's body and he is stuck in mine," Ric explained.

"Yeah, sure Sonny, whatever you say," Courtney said.

"That's it, I give up! I'm just going to leave." Ric started to head towards the door when Jason walked in.

"Hey, Sonny, where are you going?" Jason asked.

"Sonny's leaving Carly," Courtney told him.

"Ok, I'm going to say this one more time...I AM NOT SONNY!" Ric yelled.

"That's it, I'm sick of this," Jason said and he punched Ric.

"What the hell was that for!?" Ric asked.

"For this stupid 'I'm not Sonny, I'm Ric' joke!"

"It isn't a joke."

"That's it Sonny, get out!" Jason yelled.

"Fine," Ric said, and he left.

Back to the next day...

"Great, nice job Ric, you probably ruined my marriage," Sonny said.

"Look, as soon as you get out of the hospital we can both go and tell Carly that this isn't a joke. By the way, when do you get out of here?" Ric asked.

"Hopefully sometime today."

"Ok, that's good, then we can go tell Carly about this and then maybe she can help us figure out how to switch back."
