thankies to all my reviewers! and thanks for the correction on the fact that what i called the volcano temple was actually the precursor temple. thanks, i'm not exactly sure on how to correct it, but i'll try my best to figure it out!
(and the story continues)
"Alright, who the hell are you?" Jak asked the green haired person in front of him.
"Who the hell am I? Well first tell me, who the hell you are! And what your doing in my beatiful body!" Daxter demanded.
"Daxter?" Jak gave his friend a strange look.
"Jak?" Daxter returned the strange look.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BODY!" the two screamed at the same time while pointing at each other.
"I have the mirror that you requested," Seem interrupted the two and held out a hand-held mirror.
Daxter rushed over to the mirror and snatched it out of Seem's hand ("Your welcome," Seem had told Daxter with a hint of annoyance in her voice). "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Daxter screamed when he saw his reflection. "No!" Daxter cried out, "My beatiful body has been replaced by Jak's ugly one!" Daxter wailed. Jak gave Daxter a cold stare. "Well, you must admit," Daxter said to his friend after noticeing the glare he was getting, "You don't exactly have the greatest of looks," Daxter gave a smile of false innocence. Jak rolled his eyes and looked into the mirror to see himself in Daxter's body. Jak took it better then Daxter though, he didn't scream but his right eye did twitch. Right after, the mirror cracked right down the middle.
"If I may ask, what is going on?" Seem questioned the two.
"I don't know," Jak said while scratching his head, "For some reason we just switched bodies."
"If I didn't live in a world where people turn to ottsels and sprout wings then I wouldn't believe you," Seem said to the duo.
"Well, how do we change back!" Daxter asked, "I can't stay in Jak's body forever, Tess turned into an ottsel just recently and I can't change her back! What would she think if I just walked up to her and said 'Tess baby, I'm sorry but the option for miniture Daxter's is closed again'. Just think of how disappointing it would be!" Daxter whined. Jak rolled his eyes.
"I am not sure on how to change you back," Seem said, ",but perhaps if you told me precisely what happened before you switched places, then maybe I can figure out what caused it and how to reverse it," Seem explained.
Jak and Daxter glanced at each other and told Seem the story, begining from when they went to fight the wasteland metal head.
When the story was finished Seem looked at the two calmly, "Where is this, shield, now?" Seem asked.
"Well I set it somewhere's...," Jak looked around the area, but couldn't find the shield, "else... maybe," Jak said slowly. "I remember I set it right there!" Jak pointed to the left. The others looked in that direction, but didn't see anything but sand. "Are you sure Jak?" Daxter asked. "Yes I am positive!" Jak declared and continued to point in the direction.
Seem sighed, "I am quite sure that the shield is what caused this mess," Seem paused, "However, I believe that perhaps the shield might vanish and reappear in another area when it has been used."
"You seem to know alot about this thing Monk Boy!" Daxter gritted his teeth, "Are you hideing something from us?" Daxter asked.
"I remember reading some ancient scrolls on such an object," Seem admited, "However, I do not recall everything. Perhaps if I research on it, I may be able to give you the answers that you desire," Seem said.
"Yeah," Daxter nodded his head, "You do that," Daxter waved his hand at Jak, "Common Jak, let's go."

"I don't know what I'm going to do like this," Daxter whined.
They were currently walking in Haven City to see on whether or not Samos knew more on this.
"I mean look at me!" Daxter continued to sob, "I'm tall and my fur's gone! And I just had to be stuck in your body!"
"I thought that you having alot of hair and being short bugged you," Jak said.
"Yeah well, it was better than being trapped in your body!" Daxter shouted.
"Oh come on Daxter," Jak said, "It's not that bad, besides do you think that I'm happy being in your body and riding on my shoulder?" Jak asked, this body switch thing was begining to get confusing.
"Ummm...," Daxter thought for a moment, "Yeah, I think ya' do."
"What!"
"I mean just think about it. I'm handsome, I get all the girls, I'm the coolest thing in town, and my face is on cereal boxes. So hey, I don't blame you if you always wanted to be me."
"Daxter I never wanted to be like you or anyone else, I was happy with the way I was. I mean sure, it might be an okay vacation to just sit back and relax for a while, but I wouldn't choose your body just so that I could do that."
"And what's wrong with my body, huh?"
"You have hair in strange places."
"Well there is that..."
"And the tail feels very abnormal."
"You can get used to it."
"And... Daxter do you have fleas?" Jak asked his companion and lifted his right leg and scratched behind his right ear, "Whoah!"
"What is it?" Daxter asked grumpily.
"Your double jointed!" Jak said excitingly.
"So?"
"That means that I can scratch my back now!" and with that said Jak lifted his left leg and feverishly scratched the middle of his back. Daxter rolled his eyes.
"Hey!" Daxter suddenly came up with an idea.
"What?" Jak said lazily, this back scratching felt good.
"How about we don't tell anyone about this little accident and see what it's really like to be each other!" Daxter said excitingly.
Jak stopped scratching his back. "I don't know Daxter, I doubt that you would be able to control my dark side and fight bad guys," Jak said with uneasyness, it would probably would have been best to stay the way they was before.
"Common!" Daxter whined, "It would be awesome! Besides, so long as I destroy something at least once a day your dark side should be fine. And I already know how to fight all those bad guys, it's just that it'll be different since I'm taller now."
Jak thought it over for a moment. It might take Seem a while to find out everything about the shield, so with just her pondering over that, they might be stuck like this for a few days. Samos didn't 'have' to know about this. Neither did all the others. And it might be fun to see what Daxter's life was like. And maybe, just maybe, Jak could find out some things about Daxter that would become perfect black mail. Speaking of black mail. Daxter could also find out certain things about Jak that Jak didn't even want Daxter to find out. What if Daxter found out what was under his bed?
"Um, I'm not sure if we should Daxter," Jak said, "It might not be the best thing."
"Why not?" Daxter asked, "Your not hiding something, are you Jak?"
'Man he's good,' Jak thought to himself.
"No!" Jak shouted nervously, "Of course not! Sure we can pretend to be each other for a few days. It shouldn't hurt anything at all!" Jak said with gritted teeth.
"All right!" Daxter said and punched the air, "Let's pretend to be each other right now!"
"Um," Jak gave Daxter a strange look, "Okay."
"Hi! I'm Jak!" Daxter said to a nearby person but the person ran away screaming, "Whoah Jak, you must really be ugly." (A/N: what is Daxter talking about, of course people are going to run away, they always do).
Jak let out an annoyed sigh, "Maybe if we didn't act like a bunch of loons, they wouldn't. And don't do that while your in my body, you make me look like an idiot."
"Well you deser-" Daxter cut off his sentence and gave an evil grin.
"Daxter?" Jak said uneasily, "Your thinking of something evil. Aren't you?"
"Well, I feel as though now would be the perfect time for revenge," Daxter said gleefully.
"What did I do?"
"For that talking animal comment back in the desert."
"Well technically, yes Daxter, you are an animal."
"Well technically, no Jak, I'm in your body now and I want REVENGE!" Daxter let out a stream of evil giggles.
"Uh, Daxter, maybe you should cut back on the caffeine," Jak said as he looked at his friend with worry. 'Then again,' Jak though, 'It might just be my dark side effecting him'
"And I know the perfect place to look when it comes to seeking revenge," Daxter smiled and rubbed his hands together.
Jak's face paled (well, it would have if he wasn't covered in fur), "You wouldn't happen to be thinking of going through my room, would ya' Dax?" Jak asked with nervousness.
Daxter thought for a moment, "Actually, I was just going to dig through your trash but I like that idea better!"
"No!" Jak shouted quickly, "You don't want to go through my room. It uh, has, um, dangerous things in there!"
"Like what?"
"Umm..., my uh, socks..."
"Your socks?"
"Yeah, they're really stinky and sticky and if your not careful they will cause your skin to peel!" Jak said quickly.
Daxter stared at Jak for a what seemed like hours until he finally said, "That has to be the most disgusting and most desperate excuse that I have ever heard in my life."
"Um, yeah, uh," Jak really didn't know how to combat that.
"I know that your hiding something Jak," Daxter said, "And even if I wasn't out for revenge, I would love to find out what it is." Daxter grabbed Jak around the stomache.
"I can ride on you just fine! I don't need anyone to carry me!" Jak complained.
"I know, but this is just to make sure that you don't get away," Daxter said evilly and walked towards Jak's apartment.

Jak and Daxter lived in seperate places most of the time. Daxter's place was of course at the Naughty Ottsel. Jak however wished to have a place of his own too so he just settled for living in the area referred as the 'Slums'. Yeah the place sucked horribly, but it was were things were pretty bad and alot of action was usually going on down there so Jak of course liked this place best.
And so Daxter and an unwilling Jak, entered Jak's apartment.
When you walk in the apartment, the first room that you enter is the living room. In there there was a set of weights and some of the latest gun mods and also a small tv with a recliner in front of it. Connected to the living room was the kitchen that held all sorts of things, like a stove, and a microwave and a sink, etc. There was three doors in the room. The first, which was behind the two, was the entrance to the apartment. The second, which was on the right of the room, was the bathroom. And the last door, which was to the left, was Jak's room. Yeah, that's basically it, except for the fact that the place was trashed beond words. No, not quite, because I can explain a little. There were pizza boxes all over the floors and tables. There was mustard on the ceiling. The refrigerator door was open and had a pile of green mold growing out of it. For some odd reason the remote was stuck to the screen of the tv by some purple blob. The place was littered in candy bar wrappers. And although this has nothing to do with the appearance of the area, there was a gurgleing noise comeing from the bathroom.
"Oh my god," Daxter said with his mouth gaping open.
Daxter had only been in Jak's house once before, but that was when Jak had first gotten the place. Back then it was clean, empty, but clean. Now though, it looked as if several metal heads raided Jak's place and had a party.
"Um, I've never been a 'clean' type person," Jak said slowly, "Mostly this was caused by my dark side though, he tends to make a mess of things, and I'm kinda lazy at pick up work so it sorta just stays dirty."
Daxter's right eye twitched, "Jak you need some serious help."
"Oh shut up," Jak said and scratched his ear with his left leg.
Daxter shook his head back in forth, he had to remember his mission. His mission to find out the deep dark secret of Jak. And that secret was obviously in his room.
Daxter entered the door that lead to Jak's room and Jak followed quickly behind.
Jak's room was much better compared to the rest of the place. In fact it looked like heaven. It was clean, the bed was made, pictures of friends were set up on a table very neatly, and the place had a nice soothing type of smell to it. It made you feel calm and relaxed.
"This is where my light side tends to come out," Jak said, "He's a bit of a germ freak, ya know"
Daxter was taking in the heavenly scents in the room, it was so relaxing. So calming. Daxter was about to nod off, but then he heard a muffled voice comeing from under Jak's bed.
Daxter looked at Jak. Jak's eyes widened, "YouknowDaxtertherearesomanyotherthingstodoaroundherebesidessnoopingaroundandsuch...,"Jak began to talk really fast and quite loud.
Daxter put his hand over Jak's mouth to shut him up. Daxter then heard the muffled voice again. Daxter ducked under the bed and pulled out what seemed to be, a cage.
"Jak," Daxter said slowly.
Inside the cage was Ottsel Veger, tied and gagged.
"So what?" Jak said as his voice showed nervousness, "He deserves it anyways!" Jak snapped.
"So, is that it?" Daxter asked, "Is this your 'big' secret?"
Jak looked back and forth nervously, "Well, uh, yeah..."
"So you just keep him locked up in a cage, under your bed?"
"Uh, yeah."
"You don't torture him or nothin'?"
"Err... define the word torture."
"Jak."
"Okay! So I get a spork and... spork him. What's so big about it?"
Daxter grinned from ear to ear, "I wonder what he has to say about all this," Daxter said and opened the cage and ungagged the prisoner.
"You fool! Once the council hears about this one your going to be in more trouble than you can dream of!" Ottsel Veger yelled at Daxter. Apparently, he believed that it was strange for the two to talk as if they had switched places, but he was not in the mood for such trivia, so he completely believed that Jak was Jak and Daxter was Daxter.
"A spork huh?" Daxter said slowly.
"No! Not the spork!" Ottsel Veger pleaded.
"Jak," Daxter started, "I'm willing to make a bet..."

so how is it so far? yes, i know, it get bad marks for the spelling and grammar, but is it good? there's no fact that i will update on this fic. it mostly depends on my inspiration level. but i can tell you that it has been a year since i completed a fanfic and they were one-shots. anyways would you believe that i typed this up in one day! probably not, but it is the truth, you can tell because it has some errors in that that have been overlooked accidentally. although i haven't found them, i know that they are there. my friend has a few words to you (Tsurashi: hi guys! wuz up? you better say hi back or else you 'will' suffer the conseqences!). believe me she is serious. ugh, i'm tired and my arms hurt, i'm just going to go ahead and post this so people won't call me lazy.
