Chapter 2:

The Switch

"Well, you have a psychological problem, and Squall wanted me to come down here to talk to you about it." Rinoa said.

"What's that supposed to mean!" Seifer said as he stood up and started pacing around his room.

"Why couldn't he just come down here anyway?" Seifer said as he calmed down and sat back down.

"He has to work you know." Rinoa said as Seifer lost control again and began to pace.

"Well yeah, but still, he's the only one that's supposed to know about this." Seifer said as Rinoa held up her right hand.

"I Rinoa Heartilly, promise never to tell anyone about my work related patients." Rinoa said as she began to giggle.

" Work related patients? Am I your patient? I thought you were just a See-D." Seifer said as Rinoa began to realize that he was truly confused.

"Ok, this is something you can't tell anyone about." Rinoa said in a hushed tone.

"I work for Squall, and I have been, but I couldn't tell anyone except my patients, but you are my first, because you are the first See-D in my worktime to ever have a psychological problem."

"So you're a psychologist?" Seiferasked getting bored with Rinoa babbling on.

"Exactlly you smart one. That's one good thing about you, you can piece puzzles together." Rinoa said as Seifer lost intrest in what she was saying for a few moments until something she said caught his attention.

"And your psychological problem is, that you never had any parents, so you think that some how your life is worse right?" Rinoa asked as Seifer's eyes, went wide.

"You really think I think that way about my life?" Seifer said as he began to get angry.

"I don't think like that about my life, I think that everyone hates me, because I was the one who almost killed you guys, and unleashed Lunatic Pandora." Seifer said as he began to break down on his bed, and cry.

"Seifer, see this is the kind of stuff I'm here to help you with." Rinoa said as she walked over to Seifer.

"I don't need help with this, I've been okay with it for the past year and a half, and NOW you want to help me? No I don't think so. You should have tried to help me when I actually had a problem." Seifer said so enraged, because he was venting.

"Seifer your life will be so much easier if you let me help you." Rinoa said trying to comfort him.

"EASIER? You have no idea what my life is like, easy is not a word in my life." Seifer said as he began to become very scary.

"MY LIFE ISN'T EASY EITHER! Just because you think everyone is out to get you doesn't mean that other people don't have problems too!" Rinoa screamed at the top of her lungs.

"You know what? If all you're going to do is yell at me, then…"

"Then what? Huh huh huh, mister tough boy?"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Seifer screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Well then LEAVE ME ALONE TOO!" Rinoa screamed also.

Seifer went to slap Rinoa, but passed out.

"Seifer? Seifer are you okay?" Rinoa asked as she passed out right on top of Seifer.

Seifer woke up, but not in his rock solid bed that he had learned to love. His sheets were silky, and his bed was as soft as a baby's bottom, not that a mattress should be compared to a baby's behind or anything.

He opened his eyes, and saw that he wasn't in his room. The alarm clock went off, and Seifer rolled over onto his stomach to turn it off.

'ouch! Jeez, did I sleep with my steak knife again?' Seifer thought. He looked down and just about screamed.

"Oh my gosh! When did those get there!" He yelled, as he sat up and looked at the rest of his body. It was nothing like his own. Seifer ran to the bathroom, to see if his gorgeous face had disappeared too. To his surprise he wasn't himself, he was Rinoa.

"Rinoa must have put me under a spell and switched our bodies." Seifer said as he went through the closet to find something to wear.

"Gosh what is her favorite color? Blue?" Seifer said as he went through her closet to find nothing but the same black tank top and blue duster again and again.

"it'll have to do." Seifer said as he went into the bathroom to take a shower.

"Actually, I don't think I'm ready for a shower yet, maybe later." Seifer said as he walked out of the bathroom.

Seifer contemplated how he would change, for the longest time. He didn't want to see Rinoa's body naked, and yet he did.

"Here it goes." Seifer said as he slipped off her pajama shirt, and pajama pants.

Seifer stood staring at the mirror for the longest time.

"Whoa, I didn't know she was like this." Seifer said as he snapped himself out of his world, and put on the clothes.

Rinoa woke up with a pounding on the door. She had a back pain, and her neck hurt. She felt like she had slept on pins and needles. Her pillow was rock solid, and the sheets felt as stiff and cold as ice.

Rinoa felt as if she had slept in someone else's room. Not her soft and comfortable room.

Her eyes shot open. She was in someone elses room. 'How could this have happened?' Rinoa thought. I'm only supposed to be Squalls baby. Not someone else's.

Rinoa got up, and ran to the bathroom. She ran past the mirror, and stopped. 'was that me?' Rinoa stood there in shock, not wanting to believe what she had seen. Rinoa backed up, looked in the mirror and screamed. Although, the scream didn't sound like Rinoa. It sounded like Seifer. Rinoa ran to the door, hoping that whoever was pounding on the door was Seifer. She swung the door open wide, and almost broke the wall. It was Seifer, but he looked like her, and Rinoa looked like him. Rinoa grabbed Seifer, and pulled him into his room.

"What the heck is going on here?" Rinoa screamed.

"No you tell me, you are the one who is the sorceress!" Seifer yelled back.

"I can't bear to be in your body. It's just so yucky." Rinoa said. Rinoa thought about what Seifer might have done, or will do to her perfect body.

"Rinoa, how are we going to get out of this?" Seifer asked.

"Well whatever you do, don't you dare look at me, or ruin my perfect body!" Rinoa yelled.

"Oh, I guess that's just too late." Seifer said as he tried to put that cocky smile on Rinoa's face. It looked pathetic. He looked like a pathetic dog trying to smile.

Rinoa began to laugh hysterically, and Seifer looked at her with a 'what the heck is your problem?' look.

Rinoa stopped laughing suddenly.

"Wait, what have you done with my body?" Rinoa looked up at Seifer like she was going to kill him if he gave her the wrong answer.

Seifer began to laugh at Rinoa's stupidity and ditzyness.

"So Rinoa, if it wasn't you, then who did this to us?" Seifer asked beginning to scowl.

"I don't know but how are we going to get out of it. OOH I know." Rinoa said talking to herself.

Seifer rolled his eyes and sat down on his old bed. Hopefully this wasn't a permanent change.

"We can act like each other until we change back!" Rinoa said after much contemplation.

"Oh yeah, but what if the change is permanent huh?" Seifer scoffed.

"Well then get used to being happy." Rinoa said with a smile as Seifer just stared at her. She squeaked out an "oh" and then tried to put on that cocky smirk. Seifer began to laugh.

"Now that's the spirit!" Rinoa said as she patted Seifer on the back.

"So let me get this straight, I have to act bossy, happy, and love Squall?" Seifer asked. Rinoa nodded.

"And I have to learn your smirk, be a butthole, and feel depressed?" Rinoa asked. Seifer nodded.

"Oh yeah, try to fix me up with Quistis will ya? Thanks you're a doll." Seifer said as he pointed at Rinoa winked and made a clicking noise.

At this Rinoa laughed. She stopped, stared at him, and made his smirk.

"That looks so believeable, I think you're as good as me." Seifer said as he applauded.

Rinoa was about to bow, but got a devilish look in her eye, she walked over to Seifer, pushed him out of the way, and left.

"Well, if it isn't Mr Hoity Toity." Rinoa heard as she walked down the hall, in Seifer's body. She heard random whispering, which she assumed was about Seifer.

Rinoa got to the cafeteria, and saw the gang. She sat down and remembered Seifer's usual sitting pose. She widened her legs, and thought, 'OUCH! How does he sit like this?" Rinoa stayed in that position trying not to seem different than Seifer.

"Seifer please go, you took Irvine's seat." Rinoa heard Selphie whine.

"Yeah yeah yeah." Rinoa said. She got up and walked to the door thinking, ' whoa I really acted like Seifer there. Yay!' Rinoa applauded herself. She walked down the halls to check up on Seifer, and her body.

"Seifer, answer the freaking door." Rinoa whispered to herself, as she pounded on her door. Seifer tip toed over to the door to see who it was.

"Hey, Seifer." Seifer said as he opened the door trying not to look too conspicuous.

"Can I come in?" Rinoa said as Seifer let her pass, and they went into Rinoa's room.

"Man I'm gonna miss this place." Rinoa said as she looked around the room at her blue misty wallpaper, blue comfy carpet, sky blue ceiling, and all the blue items that filled her room.

"I'm gonna miss my room too." Seifer said as he pictured his cold and dense room, turning into a blue fluff room. Seifer shuddered at the thought.

Rinoa made Seifer leave her dorm, and go join the gang. This was Seifer's first test of how well he knew Rinoa.

Seifer walked down the halls of Garden. He headed to the cafeteria to join the gang who was still sitting down eating breakfast. He sat down next to Squall quite quiet.

"What's wrong Rinoa?" Ellone asked as she wiped the ketchup off Zells face. Seifer looked up, and said, "nothing, I'm just still tired. I was up all last night doing homework." Ellone shrugged off his excuse, and went back to wiping Zells face.

Seifer knew he had to act like Rinoa, so he decided to do the unthinkable.

"Hey Squally, you want to go out tonight?" Seifer asked Squall as he gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Sure, 7:00." Squall said.

'EWW I just kissed Squall! I can't believe I just did that!.' Seifer thought as he went up to go to the bathroom.

"I'll be back baby." Seifer said as he started to head to the mens room. 'wait, I'm Rinoa, I have to go into the girls room. OK.' Seifer thought as he entered the girls bathroom.

The bathroom was all pretty and fluffed up. The walls were a mint green, and the scent of lavender enveloped Seifer.

'This is some pretty nice stuff. A lot better than the men's room.' In there, it was basically just toilets sinks, and a few urinals. But other than that it was pathetic.

'Girls really do need more than guys huh? I don't mind that the girls have more stuff, because they spend more time in the bathroom anyway. So yeah, I don't really even pay attention in the bathroom.' Seifer thought to himself as he was washing his hands. Then he looked over and noticed that there was a red couch. Seifer just had to try it so he dried his hands, and sat down on the couch.

"ooo." Seifer said as he snuggled into the couch. Quistis walked in, and waved to Seifer, not knowing he wasn't Rinoa.

"Hey Rinoa, can you get me a tampon?" Quistis asked as she threw her wallet at Seifer over the stall.

"Sure." Seifer said as he grabbed the wallet, and walked over to the machine on the wall, thinking that had to be where they were.

Seifer stuck the quarter in the slot, and pulled out the foreign object.

"Here." Seifer said as he handed Quistis the wrapped object, and her wallet.

"Thanks." Quistis said as Seifer giggled and walked out of the bathroom. He had become more like Rinoa than he wanted to be. For one, he kissed Squall, for two he bought Quistis a tampon, and for three, he giggled like Rinoa.

That's the last thing he needed to happen, even though he enjoyed it.

'Hey wait, if Rinoa is friends with Quistis, then I can get to know Quistis, and then when I become Seifer again, I can get her to love me.' Seifer thought as he headed back to the table to sit with Squall.
