Mimi and Matt had disliked each other at first sight. But what happens if their souls switched? Is there something more deep inside? A mimato and taiora.
Matt's eyes widened in horror as he looked into the mirror. He had turned from a blond to a brunette with long angelic hair. He also had an extra weight on his chest and he doesn't even want to go 'down there'.
"Ahhh! I'm a girl! No worse, I'm Mimi Tachikawa!" He started to panic as school was about to start in an hour. "Everything in here is pink! My eyes hurt damnit! This isn't happening! I even sound like Mimi!"
"What's not happening? Mimi dear, are you all right?"
Matt turned to the door where Mrs. Tachikawa was looking at him oddly. He screamed, pointing at her.
"Mimi-"
Another scream.
"Mi-"
Followed by another scream. "Is there another mirror around here?"
"Are you stress for a test or have you spotted another cockroach, honey?" asked Mrs. Tachikawa, eyes full of concern. "If you want a mirror it's in the bathroom. Are you sure you're all right?"
Ignoring her, Matt ran past the startled mother and into the bathroom down the hallway. He peered into the mirror, convinced that something was wrong with the other mirror. No such luck. A girl in pink tank top and shorts just looked back at him, almost mockingly. Suddenly, an idea popped into Matt's mind. If he was Mimi, then Mimi should be him right? Well, it was worth a shot. He quickly sprinted down the hallway and clambered down the stairs, almost knocking Mrs. Tachikawa over.
"Mimi! You're not going out in that are you?" She called out as the door slammed shut. She then went through some magazines. "Hmm... let's see... teenage rebellion? Identity crisis? Insane teen phases?"
All right let's pause and rewind. Just a few minutes ago, I, Mimi Tachikawa, had woken up in the most messiest and ugliest room ever. First of all, there are piles of stray clothes everywhere. Second of all, the room is not pink! Thirdly, books and papers covered the study table until you can't even see the table itself. And lastly, did I mention it's not pink? Ok, that's not the point. Hmmm... let's see what is it again? Oh yeah, I'm in Matt Ishida's body! I look so totally ugly being blond, heck! It's not even my hair! Why do I care?
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Matt! Are you all right in there?" That was definitely Mister Ishida.
"Y-yeah!" As soon as I said that, I brought my hands to my mouth. My voice sounded so horrible. Like... like Matt's.
"Thought you was, just checking on ya son. Well I better be off to work and don't be late for school!" He said and his footsteps retreated away. A few seconds later, I could hear a door closed and the house fell silence.
This is so freaking me out.
Oh no, what about school? I can't miss school!
Just then the phone rang. Considering the state the room was in, I can't find the phone. What? Do you actually expect me to rummage through his piles of dirty laundry? Does Matt even have a washing machine? Maybe the phone will stop ringing sooner or later. Wait a minute, what if it's Matt?
"Don't you dare hang up Ishida!" I shouted as dived into a pile of clothing and found the damn phone with Matt's damn underwear around it. Now I can't decide which was worse. His voice, being in his body or this.
It was so disgusting and the irritating phone kept ringing. With my thumb and index finger, I threw the underwear on the floor. Far away from me. "I can't believe I just did that! Ew, eww, eewwwwww!" (a/n : Mimi said this in a very girlish way. Just imagine Matt doing that! ) I quickly pressed the 'on' button and held the phone a few inches from my ear. I don't even want to risk it.
"Hello?" said a very familiar voice.
"Tai?" I asked slowly and cautiously.
"Yeah it's me. Are you ditching school today?"
"What? Why would I do that!" I asked, outraged.
"You said so yourself yesterday!" Tai squawked.
"Look here, I have a clean record and I would never ever want to ditch school!"
Tai was silent.
"Matt. Stay home. Drinks lots of fluid and get as much rest as possible and quit speaking like a girl."
"What are you talking-"
The line went dead.
"about?"
That was rude.
Matt pulled the tank top he was wearing for the umpteenth time as he ran down the sidewalk. "Why does that girl even wear this thing?" Across the street, a group of guys were whistling at him.
"I am going to kill you Tachikawa!" He vowed through gritted teeth.
"Why is Mimi running around in a tank top and shorts and slippers?" asked Tai as he peered down at the sidewalk from his apartment. His sister, who was busy getting ready for school, gave a little laugh.
"Tai, you're just seeing things," said Kari as she brushed her hair. "Mimi would never do such a thing. Slippers! I mean come on! She isn't the type to go on walking with slippers!"
"Yeah, seeing things."
Mrs Tachikawa looked at the list of things while getting ready to go to the market. As she locked the doors, she checked the shoe racks and placed a finger on her chin. "Hmmm... I wonder who took my slippers."
"Mimi!" shouted Matt as he barged through his bedroom door and stared at 'himself' sitting on his bed.
Mimi looked up and blinked several times.
"Ahhhhhh!" Their screaming could wake up the whole of Japan. They didn't know how long they had been shouting and when they finally stopped, they were panting, their eyes fixed on each other.
"I can't believe how fat I look in that tank top!" Mimi wailed.
"That's not the point!" shouted Matt, getting quite irritated. "I'm in your body and you're in mine!" He looked up at the ceiling as though it was the 'heavens'. "Please let this be a really bad dream!"
Mimi grabbed Matt by the shoulders and towered over him. "Give back my body!"
"I would if I could," Matt chocked out. "Look, since I'm a girl and you're a guy, your physical level had gone up and mine has went down! Though I doubt you have any in this scrawny body of yours." He muttered the last sentence softly in fear of getting beaten up by his own strength.
"So?"
"So you're practically breaking your own arm!"
Mimi let go of him in an instant. "Switch us back then!"
"I've told you I don't know how! It's not everyday people just... switch souls! If that's what you call it," said Matt as he paced back and forth on the bedroom floor. "Help me out here!"
"Whatever, school's starting in less that thirty minutes," Mimi informed him.
"Oh no," said Matt firmly. "We're not going to school like this!"
"Yes we are! Now what do you want to wear?"
"What?"
"Look I'm gonna wear my clothes and you're gonna wear yours, fair enough? And don't worry! I won't look!"
"No way! I'm not gonna wear your retarded clothes!" said Matt defensively glaring at a very red Mimi. "What's wrong with you now?"
"N-nothing I...oh no.."
"What? Spit it out!"
"I have to use the b-b-bathroom..."
There was a long moment of silence involving a defeated Mimi being stared at by a shocked Matt. Finally, Matt spoke.
"Oh...HELL NO!"
"D-don't look! A-aim! No, no looking! Keep your eyes closed!"
"How can I aim and keep my eyes closed at the same time! This feels so wrong..."
Mimi wondered how many times she'd have to wash her hands to ever feel clean again.
"Just make a lucky guess!"
"What if it gets all over the wall?"
"Do I look like I care?"
"How can I tell, my eyes are closed!"
"D-do you have to hold it like that?"
"I think I'm going to be sick...why can't guys go the normal way!"
"What's wrong with our way?"
"Oh, this feels so wrong..."
"Whoa, hey, watch where you're..."
"I can't watch, my eyes are closed!"
"The other way, the other way!"
The sounds of two liquids hitting against one another brought a relieved sigh to both parties.
"Now, just zip up...WATCH OUT!"
Mimi opened her eyes just in time to avoid what could be a particularly nasty accident, however what she saw caused her to turn several shades of red and freeze in shock.
"What are you doing! Quit looking! Quit it!"
Five minutes later, two extremely tired teenagers left the bathroom, one with scalded hands from a furious hand washing.
"Promise to God you'll never have to use the bathroom again..." Matt grumbled, putting his face in his hands.
"It's not that easy, you know," Mimi said, her face bright red still. Matt crossed his legs uncomfortably. He would sooner die from shut down kidneys than use the bathroom in Mimi's body.
I'm sorry for the long wait. You know the end of the year is coming and I to prepare for EXAMS! Grr... it's not a picnic for me too you know! My mom would be fuming if she found out I'm typing a fic rather than searching for a geography article! Well, gotta go now! Don't forget to leave a review!
Oh, I forgot to mention that I've changed by name to akane-tenshi! See ya round!
