Bin Switch
Ch. 3: Orange Crush
By Hiro Konobu
"Well this is the final installment of the Bin Switch to be honest I had wanted this fic to be only three parts so I wouldn't have a problem with any details about "bin switching" if the fic went long…(Though anyone else is welcome to try to go further with the idea)…but I only own my fics and all other stuff are copyright to their owners even the name of the chapter title."
(Starts at café mew mew this time after work and when they've already closed shop for the day, also to explain the bodies here I'm using these "" to do so when addressing the body in outside the other "" sorry if this is confusing.)
"Well this is going to somewhat shock everyone but I just remembered I had a lunch date with my boyfriend, Mark today." "Ryou" tells "Ichigo" this and well the expected shock reaction comes out...sort of.
"…Ichigo I thought I told you to dump him a while back besides the people who write fanfics in this area hate the Ichigo/Mark pairing…" "Ichigo" says to "Ryou".
"Well the author thought it could be good for some lame humor." "Ryou" tells "Ichigo"
(Everyone sweatdrops at that last statement)
"Aside from the lame author related humor attempt we really need think about how we go about…oh wait I think that was explained in the last chapter…sort of." As "Pudding" says before a card of some sort falls down from the blue, though "Mint" picks it up and reads it"
(As "Mint" reads it says hello this is the author Hiro Konobu trying to explain the daily routine you'll have to go through well Ichigo who is in Ryou's body along with Zakuro who is still in Keiichiro's body must do some DNA research. Ryou who is in Ichigo's body will have to go on said lunch date with Ichigo's sometimes boyfriend Mark...though the author prefers the IchigoXRyou pairing. Meanwhile Kish who is in Mint's body shall be doing her ballet lesson, however if it's cancelled you will end up spending time at her mansion. Taruto who is in Pudding's body has to do her usual street acts. Though Pie who is still in Lettuce's body just shall go to the library, and Keiichiro who is in Zakuro's body must deal with her job…today is a new restaurant that's opening that has a reference to a DDR song that is all.)
"What a weird way for the author to skimp on some very vital story bits." "Mint" says
"But now I know what we have to go through in their daily lives now don't we?" "Lettuce" says to everyone.
"No we very much do not know what goes on in the other's lives including this somewhat cliché "bin switch" that's very confusing." "Zakuro" says towards "Lettuce"
"Well said, though be sure not to screw up my career Keiichiro. If you do then…well you don't want to know what will happen to your body." "Keiichiro says menacingly to "Zakuro"
"You know Ichigo I really don't think I've ever seen Zakuro like that ever." "Ichigo" says to "Ryou"
("Ryou" just nods as everyone goes off to do what he or she needed to do we skip over to where the real Mint, Lettuce, and Pudding was and…wait a minute this time all three are talking to Deep Blue.)
"So Deep Blue person why did you want to see us? Na No Da." "Taruto" says to Deep Blue.
"Yeah I just want to know as well." "Pie" says to Deep Blue.
"Well that's because I know that your not the real Pie and Taruto." Deep Blue says.
"How could you tell?" "Kish" says to Deep Blue
"First I noticed that "Taruto" was jumping up and down very hyper and saying Na No Da constantly, and the thing with "Pie" I noticed there was a lot more shyness abound so I would know because his personality is more cold and sort of a loner like Zakuro, also it's because I'm a super computer that can beat chess champions, so obviously I would know if something was wrong." Deep Blue says somewhat jokingly to the three, and confusing them and probably the readers too.
"Ok what was that all about?" "Pie" asks Deep Blue.
"Sorry Lettuce I was reading a computer history magazine that a computer named Deep Blue beat some chess champ thought it could be a good joke. Deep Blue says with an obvious grin on his face. Computer jokes aside I have the "Daikatana 1.5" fixed up and ready to go."
"Great, when can we go and get our correct bodies back, for some reason I get the feeling that were going to have to wait a while before we actually do switch back?"
"Well maybe cause of a prolonged body switch clause that states that the people switched have to deal with the other's life before going back to the original body though I've been reading one of the author's fics that pokes fun at the direct body switch clause." Deep Blue says.
"Really…" "Kish" says sarcastically
"Really Mint, as Deep Blue says, anyway let's just wait to attack till everyone else who got switched deals with everything they have to deal with." Deep Blue says towards the three.
"Well what do we do while waiting for the daily lives of everyone to conclude? Na No Da." "Taruto" asks Deep Blue.
"Well I bought this "Advance Wars: Dual Strike" game not too long ago so let's play it though I have dibs on Andy." Says Deep Blue while bringing out the game.
"At least we get a fun game to play while waiting and even trying to make another reference to "Advance Wars: Dual Strike" by way of the author." "Kish" says.
"Dibs on Sami." "Pie" says.
(Now we go right back to where "Ichigo" is waiting for Mark to come)
"Stupid Ichigo having an idiot for a boyfriend, still I haven't met him however so I think my impression on him could change..."
(Just then Mark comes up right after that statement and trips on "Ichigo's" leg and "Ichigo" thinks about Mark for a bit)
Even though this is the first bit with that fool my first impression of him is that he is a complete fool…like the author…
"Hello Ichigo how are you today?" Mark says to "Ichigo."
"I'm fine…uhh…why do you ask." "Ichigo" says to Mark.
"You know were going to just go out and eat lunch today." As Mark replies back to "Ichigo"
"Okay so let's go already." Now as "Ichigo" goes off with Mark we go back to café mew mew to the real Ichigo and Zakuro just really doing nothing in all actuality.
(A/N: For this part I won't use the quotation marks to signify the body that they're speaking from though I'm going to apologize for making everything confusing.)
"So Zakuro what do you think about the author trying to flaw most of the situations were put due to this huge body swap?" As Ichigo had asked Zakuro about this.
"I really don't know because all we have to do is sit here and do almost nothing." Zakuro says to Ichigo.
"Why's that?" Ichigo says to Zakuro.
"Well we have to look at some stuff in Ryou's and Keiichiro's lab." Zakuro mentioned to Ichigo.
"Oh you're right, let's go." Ichigo says before heading off
(Though as they got there they didn't know the password...however they tried to get in via many comical ways but we skip over to "Ichigo" and Mark…somehow Mark is seamlessly lost truthfully they've trying to find it for seven minutes at this point)
"Mark I would really think you wouldn't be this air headed and walk past the café that you wanted to eat lunch there five times already."
"Sorry Ichigo just tired from watching a Ranma ½ marathon last night only got an hour sleep before coming here." Mark says to "Ichigo"
Well that can explain his Ryoga like disposition currently. "Ichigo" thinks "Well are we ever going to find the place maybe I should take the map and..." Before "Ichigo" can even finish the statement Mark interrupts "her".
"Uhh Ichigo I think I can handle this myself even if I get myself eternally lost."
Why did I have to get switched with Ichigo, and have to deal with her air-headed boyfriend.
(Now after both Mark and Ichigo say their lines we see a bluish-black limo pass by the two with "Mint" inside going to deal with a possible ballet lesson while being driven there by "Mint's" driver.)
Sure I do get the rich girls' body but I have to deal with her very girlish ballet lessons which isn't sweet. As a sort of angry Kish who is mint's body thinks about his situation that he's in right now.
"Miss Mint we are nearing that studio where we do ballet. Do you want me too get you something while your in there?" "Mint's" driver says.
"No I'm good…say did Capcom have any say on why you don't have a name driver?" "Mint" asks.
"Not exactly, though Capcom are afraid of going over three with any of their gaming series."
"Got it, although that's a good theory right there driver." Mint says before a sudden stop shocks her."
"Were here, have fun at you ballet lesson miss Mint." Now the Driver begins to leaves "Mint" at the door of said place that "she" had to go to…fortunately for most…mainly the fangirls of Kish…the class wasn't cancelled and he goes in is left somewhat speechless.
Wow there are a lot of girls in here. As "Mint" thinks to himself.
(As "Mint" just gets ready to start the lesson we have to skip to the actual lesson part and Kish thought of something as well)
Stupid author always trying to use plot holes to move the story along. "Oh well I wonder what that teacher was going to teach the real Mint today."
(The teacher comes out after "Mint" makes an abused reference to the author and tells them all sorts of things now "Mint" is feeling a bit sheepish, however in some strange way "Mint" was doing well surprisingly though I'll leave what else that happens to the readers)
"Now I wonder what the real Pudding would do in this situation?" As "Pudding" tries to think of an idea on what Pudding would always do whenever she does street performances though a few minutes later he figures it out.
"It's amazing what this girl has in her pockets, what's even more amazing is how I'm doing this." As "Pudding" finds out while spinning a couple plates while somehow juggling some other stuff by way the legs.
(Though while that was going on we see Mark and Ichigo pass by "Pudding" somehow there still lost thanks to Mark)
"Don't worry I know this restaurant is around here somewhere" Mark says as he's unable to find the restaurant.
I really don't get what Ichigo sees in that idiot. Is what "Ichigo" thinks "Hey Mark I think I found the thing you were looking for by the way it's called wasn't it called "Spin The Disc" points to where the establishment that Mark missed so many times.
"Oh I see that author is making references again this time to his favorite DDR song." As Mark follows "Ichigo" into the place only for a surprise.
"What the? "Lettuce"…"Zakuro" how in the name of milk and cream did you get here?"
"Well "Ichigo" I was just reading in the library when "Zakuro" showed up to invite me to this grand opening here in "Spin The Disc" in which she's doing some sort of publicity stunt, and by the way you humans do have interesting food." "Lettuce" says while drinking some tea.
"Well "Lettuce" where's "Zakuro"?" "Ichigo" says to Lettuce.
"I think your so-called boyfriend is pawing over Zakuro with all of those other men." As we see "Lettuce" pointing over where "Zakuro" is, and Ichigo is asking for a camera to take a picture of Mark actually touching Zakuro which he's doing.
"There, but then again even with Keiichiro who is currently in Zakuro's body, and he's doing a good job of emulating Zakuro's personality." "Ichigo" says to Lettuce.
(As Ichigo and Lettuce begins to banter on about this we skip to the "aliens" and Deep Blue playing the aforementioned game mentioned earlier in this fic)
"Well "Kish" be prepared to get owned by my Super CO technique of Andy "Hyper Upgrade!" oh yeah to those haven't played Advance Wars: Dual Strike the "Hyper Upgrade" allows me to repair my units and give them a firepower and movement bonus Deep Blue says loud and ends up defeating "Kish's" army by destroying all of "his" units.
"Well I'm out, just goes to show you can't use Kanbei effectively unless you have lots and lots of money." "Kish" says.
"Deep Blue You know you made a very tactical error in your strategy, why you remember why it takes so long to build up Sami's CO power don't you? Here it is "Victory March!" "Pie" says out loud while capturing Deep Blue's Base is captured immediately and we see "Pie" snickering.
"Now I can see why you acted a little OOC, at that time Lettuce I forgot Sami's ability "Victory March" also known as the "one day capture technique" it can be deadly if used correctly. Deep Blue says while thinking about what he could do better next time. "Anyway while that was going on I found out that you can attack the mews now if need be it or we could play another…" Before Deep Blue finished that line the "aliens" left him and took the "Daikatana 1.5" to try and finish out this fic.
(About an hour later we see all five of the "mews" just walking with "Ryou" and "Keiichiro" for some reason, though I'm thinking all of them just used there own plot hole to get back here)
"So "Ichigo" how was Mark?" "Ryou" asks "Ichigo" about this.
"Oh I think you should find that out later Mark was acting weird, and me "Lettuce" and "Zakuro" were at this new restaurant called "Spin The Disc" complete with the music from the song." "Ichigo" tells "Ryou".
"Interesting, at least it was better than doing some sort of dance in Mint's body." "Mint" then lowers "her" head after saying that.
"By the way me and "Keiichiro" did have a very comical time trying to get into your lab...unsuccessfully." "Ryou" says while "Keiichiro" just nods.
"You know I was about to just go off on you trying to enter my lab without permission, but since you couldn't open it I'll lay off on you." "Ichigo" says to Ryou".
"Yeah but I found out for myself, that if the whole world domination/environmental thing doesn't work I could always go into show business like Zakuro."
"Don't try to upstage me if you do decide on that when we get our bodies back." Keiichiro says.
"However if not…" "Zakuro" says with a grin before getting an even more menacing grin from "Keiichiro".
(After the proverbial day in the life talk was done, who should appear but those three "aliens" who show with the "Daikatana 1.5")
"You know we still want our bodies back even after your boss had a copy of real fun game." "Kish" says.
"It was, I snuck into his headquarters and did the "one day capture technique" on him." "Pie" says.
"Exactly! Na No Da." "Taruto" says
"Now give us the "Daikatana" so we can all switch back." "Mint" says to the "aliens"
"Not yet I think what all five of you must do…" "Kish" says to "Mint" with a smirk the other two "aliens" also smirking.
"…Shoot…well I guess we have no choice…Mew Mew Ichigo Metamorphosis" As "Ichigo" said as the other "Mews" follows suit to that and the fanservice during the transformation sequence.
"That felt weird especially the cat ears and tail that sprouted out and this pink skirt like outfit." "Ichigo" said.
"Yeah well these wolf ears, tail and purple outfit feel weird too." "Zakuro" said.
(While the other "mews" did basically the same thing eyeing over the animal parts and the color coordinated outfit while the girls who got swapped with the guys in the first chapter, and Deep Blue is also laughing off screen, though while the laughing goes on "Mint" gets angry.)
"You know even though I would think how they would feel in this situation…Mint Echo" "Mint" said as she actually said the right attack of Mint nearly hitting "Kish".
"You think I would fall for my own attack really you think...nah…" "Kish" said
"Besides are we really going to mimic the change in the first chapter?" "Taruto" said.
(Though after that was said some "Pudding" just jumped up and pounced "Taruto" in the same way done in the first chapter, and the stereotypical flash...this time silver encases the whole area, also I think most people would know what happens after a flash)
"Like with all stereotypical body or bin switch fanfictions whenever a flash is done everyone is back in there own body is everyone back in their own body." Taruto said
(Now everyone except Kish and Zakuro, because they got knocked out during the flash are happy to be back in there own bodies, and sometime later we saw Ichigo broke up with Mark, Mint, Pudding, and Lettuce getting back to their way of normal life…for them at least, we also see Keiichiro and Ryou reworking the password we also heard that Pie got challenged to the game referenced so many times in this fic now we skip to one more scene with Ichigo, Mint, and Zakuro before this fic ends.)
"You know it's very interesting being in someone else shoes for sometime even if it was in a boy." Ichigo said while Zakuro and Mint just nod their heads.
"Yeah I also found out about some things I really didn't want to know about the aliens." Mint said while Zakuro and Mint nod their heads as well.
"I've learned that comical ways to get passwords are not the best way to go for certain things I think Mint would know a little bit about it." Zakuro said.
"Hey I've noticed something Zakuro you've been acting a little less like a loner these past two weeks." Ichigo said.
"Though I've noticed that you have been warming up to me a little bit more than you normally do, because usually you just shove me away." Mint said before walking off with Ichigo, though when they leave a laugh is heard that isn't Zakuro's but Kish's.
(Skip to spaceship for one last line thought by Zakuro)
I swear that alien is going to die for hijacking my body like that!
End Fic
"To explain why there was so many references to Advance Wars: Dual Strike like the "CO's" like Sami, Kanbei, and Andy and the Super CO power references, I'm currently obsessed with that game which also explains the title which is a tag technique from the same game, and also explains why it took so long to get this done aside from college work."
