Chapter Ten
"Wow, Kent, your date is soon!" Sain remarked after checking his watch. "You'd better start getting ready."
"Sain, the date isn't for three and a half hours," Kent replied.
"Yeah, well, that's how long you're going to need to get ready!" cried Sain. "Come on, I'll help you choose what to wear!"
Sain dragged Kent off in the direction of their room as Lyn and Fiora looked on.
"Well, there they go," sighed Fiora. "I think we should go back into town and find Hannah. Then we should confront her."
"Alright," agreed Lyn.
The two girls set out for the village again.
Three and a half hours later...
Pent stumbled out of the carriage driver's house, exhausted. The driver had insisted that he meet his girlfriend. Then his girlfriend had talked to Pent for hours, gushing about how amazing he was. Soon, dinner was ready, and the driver insisted that Pent ate with them. Finally, Pent had convinced them that he needed to go.
The only problem was that, at this point, Ally could be anywhere. Pent decided to head for Castle Pherae. He went as fast as he could.
"There! You look great!" Sain announced, shoving Kent in front of the mirror.
Kent stared at his, or rather, Sain's reflection in the mirror. He looked basically the same, only his hair was slightly more jacked up, and he was wearing different clothes.
"I can't believe that took you three and a half hours," Kent sighed. "I could've done this in ten minutes."
"Wow, really? You'll have to show me sometime!" Sain replied. "When you're in your normal body, that is. Now come on, Serra will be waiting!"
Sain and Kent walked towards the entrance of the castle to discover that they had arrived first. Serra was probably still getting ready. It always took girls longer to get ready.
"I'll keep you company until she gets here," Sain said, but as soon as he did, Serra popped up out of nowhere.
"HI!!!" she cried. "WOW SAIN YOU LOOK GREAT AND SO DO I OF COURSE NOW LET'S GET GOING WE DON'T WANT TO BE LATE AND OH HI KENT WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR SAIN LET'S GO!!!"
"What did she say?" Kent whispered to Sain.
"No idea," he replied. "Just play along. Tell her she looks nice."
"Um, Serra, you look very nice tonight," Kent said awkwardly.
"THANKS SO MUCH SAIN I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO THE RESTAURANT SO WE CAN BE ALONE AREN'T YOU SO EXCITED???"
"Um, ok..." Kent replied.
"Well, you two, I'll see you later!!" Sain said. "Have a good time!"
Sain laughed to himself as Serra immediately linked her arm with Kent's and began to skip off towards Pherae.
"AH!" cried Kent as she pulled him away.
"Oh look, it's Sa- I mean, Kent and Serra!" Lyn said, nudging Fiora. "I guess it was time for their date..."
The two girls hadn't found Hannah, or even spotted her, in the town. They were about to head home, but Fiora had an idea.
"Let's listen in on their date," she told Lyn. "Maybe Serra will admit something about the bananas..."
"Sure, I guess," shrugged Lyn. They followed the cavalier and the cleric into Roland's Bar and Grill.
"Table for, uh, two," Kent said nervously to the man holding menus at the front of the room. Serra was grabbing his arm so hard he thought his circulation would be cut off.
"Follow me," the man said, and Serra practically bounced to the table. They sat by a window that overlooked the whole town.
"Oh, this is so romantic!" sighed Serra. Kent turned red. He was relieved when he spotted their waitress coming towards their table.
"Hi, I'm Lucius and – hey, what are you two doing here??" cried Lucius, who was apparently their waiter. Kent felt embarrassed for mistaking Lucius for a woman AGAIN. He had done it many times before without even thinking about it.
"We should be asking YOU that, Lucius!!" cried Serra. "Me and Sain are on a date!"
"Well, I work here," Lucius explained. "I need to make money somehow...anyways, I'll be your waiter tonight. Want to order drinks?"
"I'll have a Diet Coke," Serra told him.
"Water," said Kent. "With ice."
"Ok," Lucius jotted their orders down and was off, leaving Kent alone with Serra.
"Table for two, please," Lyn requested.
"This way," the man said, picking up two menus and walking in the opposite direction of Kent and Serra's table.
"Um, wait!!" cried Fiora. "I...I want to sit over there, near those plants." She pointed towards some plants that were directly behind Kent's chair. Obviously, she wanted to sit near Kent and Serra so she could listen in on them.
The man shrugged and said, "Alright. You can sit right here."
"Um, so..." Kent began, "what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Hm...well, I'm not really hungry," Serra replied. "I'll just get a salad or something."
Because she's been eating all of those bananas, thought Kent. "Um...the chicken looks good," he commented.
"I'm a vegetarian," Serra announced proudly. "If you want to eat chicken, though, I won't stop you...although I'd like to."
Kent just gave her a weird look and went back to looking at his menu. "On second thought, I'll just get soup..."
"What are they talking about?" hissed Lyn.
Fiora was straining to hear what the other two were saying. "Talking about...the food on the menu."
"Hey, more people I know are here!" cried Lucius, coming up to the table.
"SHH!!" Lyn and Fiora silenced Lucius. "They aren't supposed to know we're here!"
"Oh, uh, sorry," Lucius whispered. "Can I take your order? I work here, if you were wondering."
"Can I have a Diet Coke?" asked Lyn.
"I'll take water," Fiora said. "With ice."
"Hey, that's exactly the same drinks Sain and Serra asked for!" cried Lucius, and then laughed to himself as he walked away.
"When did Lucius become a waiter?" asked Fiora.
"No idea," Lyn answered.
A while later, the food had come and Serra was chattering on about the new dresses she had picked up from some Pheraen department store. Kent just picked at his tomato soup and pretended to listen. Serra didn't appear to be eating at all – she was talking every second, so there was no chance for her to eat.
Finally, when Serra took a breath, Kent interrupted, "Hey, uh, did you hear about those bananas getting stolen? Uh, isn't that weird?"
"Bananas," sighed Serra, going all dreamy. "They sure are good..."
"You mean...you took them?" Kent asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yes," Serra answered. She was practically in a trance. "And they were delicious..."
"Do you have any left?" Kent prompted.
"Any left...Hm...I only have one left..." Serra replied.
Kent took a deep breath, and then looked straight into Serra's eyes, attempting to appear as if he 'loved' her. "Can I please have your last banana?"
"SAIN!!" she cried, and then lunged at him from across the table.
"AH!!" he cried as she attempted to kiss him.
Fiora, who had heard every word, got out of her seat and jumped right over the plants separating the two tables.
"NO!!!" she cried, and pushed Kent and Serra apart. Unfortunately, she landed in Kent's tomato soup.
"Fiora??" cried Kent, at the same time Serra exclaimed, "Fiora, what are you doing here???"
"Well, this outfit is ruined," Fiora observed, seeing tomato soup splattered all over her shirt and skirt.
"You just ruined our date!!" cried Serra. "Sain likes me, not you!!"
"For your information, that," yelled Fiora, pointing at Kent, "is not Sain!!"
"WHAT??" Serra shouted. "What are you talking about??"
"This morning, Kent and Sain woke up and realized that they had switched bodies!!" Fiora continued. "That old crone Hannah did it to them!! And the only way to cure the switch is to make a potion WHICH INCLUDES ORANGE BANANAS. So you had better give him that orange banana, or else I'll – "
"You'll what??"
"I'll tell Ally you stole the bananas!" proclaimed Fiora.
At this point, Lyn and Lucius had both come running towards the table.
"Oh dear," said Lucius, seeing the spilled tomato soup. "I'll clean that right up."
"Fiora! What are you doing??" cried Lyn.
"Please don't tell Ally!!" begged Serra. "Please! I- I only took them because they taste so good! I didn't mean to cause so much trouble! You can have the last banana! I promise! "
"This date is OVER!" Fiora said. "You'd better take us to that orange banana RIGHT NOW, Serra, or you're in BIG TROUBLE."
"Um, sure, of course!!" cried Serra. "They're at Castle Pherae."
"Let's go," Fiora told the shocked Kent.
"I'll settle things here," Lyn said. "You take the others back to the castle."
So Fiora, Kent, and Serra departed Roland's Bar and Grill. They didn't notice that the whole restaurant was watching them in stunned silence.
Ally sat in the kitchen of Castle Pherae, going over her notes. This case was hopeless. There were no leads, no clues, no nothing. Basically, there was no way of knowing who had done it.
Suddenly, Hector and Pent bursted into the kitchen at the exact same time.
"Ally, I know who the banana thief is!" announced Hector.
"Ally, there are TWO banana thieves!" cried Pent.
"Wait, wait...one at a time," the tactician silenced them. "What are you two talking about?"
The two exchanged looks. Ally sighed.
"This case just became a lot more complicated," she said.
Serra was on the verge of tears, Kent was still in shocked silence, and Fiora was still burning mad. The three of them made their way towards the entrance of the town. Then, a figure stepped out in front of them.
"Well, if it isn't one of those boys I cursed," cackled an old woman's voice. "I had hoped you would've figured out how to change back by now."
Fiora narrowed her eyebrows. "Hannah."
