1A/N: Chapter 6 is dedicated to the turtle in Ravie's book. Aw look at the turtle oh my God it's so cute look how cute it is! Ahem. Thanks to all my reviewers: RAVIE AND JELLO (who are extremely awesome), To No Absolutes, lady anjanette de fleur, and Koishii-Kitsune-Akira. (hands Ravie, Jello, To No Absolutes, lady anjanette de fleur, and Koishii-Kitsune-Akira brownies with chocolate chips in them). I stole The Sulky Boys from All Grown Up, but all their songs, and Petty Education, are fake. I am aware that this chapter is mostly filler- chapter 7 will be more dramatic, with another switch, I promise! I also want to thank Renee (who, in case you don't know, is the inspiration behind Christine) for being so awesome. Erm... I think that's it. Sorry this took a while to put up. Chapter 7 should come sooner. REVIEW!

Chapter 6: Sulky Boys, porn, and filler chapters- Oh My!

Rhode Island...

"Miranda? Oh my God! I don't want to be the last one left! Wake up!" Tara shouted. She

debated calling Lauren and Mimi from the car, but she figured that the less Lauren knew about the...switch, the better. After a couple minutes, Miranda began to wake up.

"Where am I? What is this? Mark? What the hell! This is the same switcheroo deal that happened with Roger and Mimi, isn't it? Fuck!" Even though Tara had witnessed both Christine and Steve switch bodies with other people, she still wasn't prepared for a completely different voice coming out of Miranda's voice. She also knew that, in a matter of time, she would be next.

"Miranda? Erm...whoever you are...I'm sure this isn't a good time for you, but we're leaving for a party right now, and we really need to get out there before Lauren and Mimi start to get worried..." Tara said cautiously.

"Mimi? Mimi's here? Where is she? And who's Miranda, anyway? I'm Maureen!"

"Maureen, Mimi's in the car, with Lauren. We're going to leave for Mel's party, and we're late, so we really have to get going, and..." Tara wished Miranda was still there. She was much better at dealing with these things.

"Girl, I don't know who any of you people are, and I certainly don't want to leave for some random party without getting an explanation for all of this!" Maureen yelled.

"Ok. Um...You're in Rhode Island. You've switched bodies with my friend Miranda, who was about to go to a party at her cousin Mel's house with her sister Lauren and I. When Mimi switched with our other friend Christine, she wanted to go to the party too, so now they're out in the car waiting. We really have to go, before they start wondering where we are..." Tara explained. At that moment, Lauren burst into the room.

"Get into the car, you two! What have you been doing up here? We're already late. You can catch up on all your gossip in the car!" Lauren said.

"We'll head out right now," Tara said as she followed Lauren to her car, motioning for Maureen to follow behind her. Soon Tara and Maureen were in the backseat of Lauren's car, along with Mimi. Immediately, Lauren turned up the radio and rock music began to blast through the car's speakers.

"Sorry if this is bugging any of you guys. WCCM is having a contest, and the winner gets tickets to the Sulky Boys concert! I have to listen when they say the rules of the contest on the radio," Lauren explained. Soon the song on the radio ended and a smooth-voiced DJ began to speak.

"That was the Sulky Boys with 'I'm Not Upset, I Just Want to Die'! And speaking of the Sulky Boys, we're giving away 4 free tickets to the Sulky Boys concert at the Dimmodome this Friday! That's right, 4 free tickets for the 5th leg of their 'My Tears Could Cure Cancer, But I don't Cry' tour, right here in Providence! Those 4 tickets will be given to the 12th person who calls 333-WCCM right now! Start calling!" As soon as the DJ mentioned the number to call, Lauren's fingers began to punch the numbers in on her cell phone at a very quick speed.

"I didn't know Lauren was a Sulky Boys fan," Mimi remarked. "Roger tried to play 'When I Die, Kick me for all those I have Disappointed' on his guitar one time, and I didn't think it was anything special. The lead singer is pretty cute, though..."

"Mimi? Oh my God... Is that you?" Maureen asked. She had known that Mimi was in the car, but hadn't expected Mimi to be a short girl with stringy brown hair.

"Maureen! I didn't know you were here! So you and Miranda switched?" Mimi asked.

"Apparently. Where's Roger? Isn't he over here too?" Mimi started to laugh.

"Steve, who Roger switched bodies with, apparently had a big chess club game tonight, so he's not going to the party. Or at least, that's what we think. Roger probably figured out a way to get out of it-" Mimi was interrupted by an ear-piecing scream by Lauren.

"I WON! Oh my God! Guys, I'm the 12th caller! I'm going to see the Sulky Boys! Oh my God!" Lauren was ecstatic. The DJ on the radio began to speak again.

"And we have the 12th caller on the phone with us right now! What's your name?"

"Lauren. Lauren Thomas."

"Lauren Thomas, you've just won 4 Sulky Boys tickets!" Lauren let out another shriek of delight, which was echoed through the radio speakers.

"Well, I know you're excited! Lauren, what's your favorite Sulky Boys song?" The DJ asked.

"Wow... I love them all! I'm gonna have to say 'The Day I Find True Love, My Heart will Cry Pink Tears' is my favorite, though."

"Then that's what we're going to play right now! I'm DJ Ben, and here's the Sulky Boys with 'The Day I find True Love, My Heart will Cry Pink Tears!'" Lauren remained on her phone for a couple more minutes, writing down a couple of things on her hand with Sharpie. When she hung up, a huge grin spread across her face.

"Guys, we're gonna see the Sulky Boys! I can't believe it! They're my favorite band! We have got to tell Mel when we get to her party- she'll be so jealous! Speaking of Mel, we better get going," Lauren said as she drove down the road.

"Wait- we are going to the concert with you? Since when?" Tara asked.

"I owe Miranda one- the whole broken window incident really pissed you off, didn't it, Miranda?" Lauren asked, expecting Miranda to make a sarcastic quip back, unaware that Maureen was currently occupying Miranda's body.

"Yeah. That's really nice of you to do, Lauren," Tara said, hoping that Lauren hadn't noticed that Miranda had been silent.

"No problem. Who else was I going to give the tickets too? Audrey hates the Sulky Boys, and Ashley's dance recital is Friday night," Lauren said, naming two of her good friends.

"Well, it's still cool. The last concert I went to was Petty Education with Roger a couple months ago. Man, were we drunk off our asses that night..." Mimi said, obviously unaware of the fact that Lauren had no idea what she was talking about.

"Christine? What are you talking about? Since when do you get drunk of your ass? And besides, I thought that you hated Petty Education," Lauren said, confused.

"Erm...it was a dream?" Mimi said sheepishly, trying to gloss it over.

"Ok...whatever. I don't care, we're going to see the Sulky Boys! This is a dream come true!" Lauren exclaimed. But, as Lauren was experiencing her dream come true, Mimi and Maureen were experiencing a nightmare.

Meanwhile, at the loft...

"Guys, me and Collins are going to go down to the place where he got the TV so that we

can try and figure out what's wrong with it. You guys are gonna be ok by yourselves, right?" Mark asked Christine, Steve, and Miranda.

"Yeah, we'll be fine, I think. I hope you can get the TV fixed. I don't know about Miranda and Steve, but I definitely don't want to spend the rest of my life like this," Christine said as she gestured down to Mimi's body.

"Well, on the plus side, you might actually get some guys for once," Miranda remarked.

"Well, what if I don't want to look like a total slut? I can't imagine what's happening back home with her in my body."

"Let's just say that it involved a good chunk of the makeup that I own. I'm worried too. Lauren will realize if her own sister switched bodies, let alone you guys."

"Don't worry guys. Me and Collins are leaving right now. Who knows, this all might be over in a couple of seconds!" Mark said hopefully as he and Collins left the loft. There was a long, awkward silence as Miranda, Christine, and Steve pondered the situation that they had been put in. Steve worried about having to sing for Roger's gig. Christine worried about how Mimi would act at Mel's party, which she was apparently going to. Miranda worried about when Lauren would find out about the switch, and how she would react. Steve was the first to break the silence.

"Hey Miranda, Christine... this isn't that bad."

"How so?" Miranda said skeptically.

"Think about it. We're in New York City. We're technically adults, or at least we're in adult bodies. We can technically do whatever we want, really. And the beauty of it is that no one will know. We definitely got the better end of the lollipop here. I mean, we can buy tobacco, buy lottery tickets, sign legal documents, drive, buy porn..." Steve rattled out a list.

"I'm not so sure that Tara would want you buying porn, Steve," Miranda remarked. "But you're right about all the things we can do. It's actually kind of cool, if you ignore the fact that we're going to be in someone else's body while we do it."

"See! That's what I mean. You can do all sorts of stuff. Drink, be in a porn..." Steve went on.

"Guys, that's gross! I certainly won't be doing any of that stuff. And you forgot some of the most important things you can do. You can vote, go into the army... and go to adult jail, which is what's going to happen if we get caught," Christine warned.

"Well, who's gonna know? No one's going to believe us if we tell them. I'm telling you, this isn't as bad as we're making it out to beWe should enjoy it while it lasts," Steve said.

"Enjoy it! How are we supposed to enjoy it? I'm waiting to get out of here! You guys may be all right with all this, but I'm not!" Christine shouted.

"Calm down, Christine! Me and Steve don't want to be here, either. Relax. I don't know when this is all going to end, but it'll hopefully end soon," Miranda reassured.

"At least you don't have to sing, Christine," Steve said. "I'm not looking forward to that."

"At least you aren't stuck in the body of the one person you would never be!" Christine yelled. "I can't believe you're acting so calm about this! Am I the only one that's thinking about the consequences here? Guys, think about what they're doing in our bodies! We're probably acting completely different back there! Aren't you worried?"

"Not really. What's the worst that can happen?" Miranda asked.
