Astera Snape: I liked Mystel acting like Dorothy; and side effects for Garland are my specialty. XD And…If I knew any better, I'd say Robert called them 'uncouth' or something and they got mad…OR Kai wanted his li'l Tala plushie back…Could've been that too. XDD

BeyMistress05: I had it typed out already. Chap 11 was already done before I posted 10. XD I really wanted to get this one up before Christmas, though….

no name: Glad you liked it! -

Oh yes…BTW.

Me: Mariah's returning to normal this chapter! Two more teams show up! And this turns into more chaos becauseeee…………

Tala: Dammit, she left us hanging!

Me: DISCLAIMER, RED!

Tala: Right right…T-LW-T doesn't———— Oohh…shiny…! —runs up to Christmas tree—

Tyson: Damn, he has one short attention span!

Chapter 11: What Goes Around, Comes Around!

Mystel was back on the ground, glaring at everyone who didn't get him down from the tree branch. Garland was still jumping around happily; a side effect of being Mystel is what the Chief and some of the others figured. Or he went insane: that's Ming Ming's theory.

"Hey Chief," Mariah started, looking at the brown haired boy-turned-girl, "think you can fix that switcher?"

Kenny sighed, "Maybe, maybe not…"

Mariah frowned, "Huh, well that certainly sucks. So we won't be returning to normal, eh?" Kenny shook her head,

"Not anytime soon, at least," Kenny said as she connected two wires in the switcher.

"What!" Mariah whined. "I don't want to be a boy! Do you NOT know how torturous this is!" Mariah exclaimed, glaring at Kenny, who flinched and backed up and away from the mad pink-haired boy.

"I'm sorry Mariah, but the circuitry is completed fried, the connecters frayed, the gilgash is rusty and the button's completely broken!" Kenny screamed in frustration; this time it was Mariah flinching and backing up. Kenny tossed the switcher behind herself after closing it; the switcher landed upside down, everyone neglecting to notice a ginger-red beam, alight blue beam, and a pink beam fly out of it, spiraling into the sky.

"…Garland, she scares me…" Kai inched towards the returned to normal teen, who sweatdropped and smirked at the chibi.

"…I think 'she'—" Garland started, using air quotes, "scares everyone…" Kai shivered and gripped the teen's leg, making the silver-haired teen blush lightly.

"Looks like you've got a pet!"

Garland glared at the accused ginger-red head turned blunette, "OH give it a rest, Nature Boy!"

"Finally…" Hiro plopped down on the bench, Tyson collapsing onto his lap. Moses fell face first onto the park bench, burying his face in snow in the process while his bare arms laid flat by his side; he was kneeling in the snow, because for some reason he didn't sit down normally. "…Isn't that…a little cold?" Hiro asked, chuckling. Moses raised his arm closest to Hiro and made the 'OK' sign with his hand, which soon fell back down into his side limply.

"…How are you even breathing?" Hiro asked, raising an eyebrow. Moses shrugged, some snow slipping off the bench as he did so. Hiro snickered as the dark-skinned 12-year old sighed, inhaling a mouthful of snow; he ended up swallowing about a gallon of water and choking on it. Suddenly, after he heard a "whiz" noise, he lifted his head and turned it towards the sky. He turned fully around and jumped up, standing normally.

"HEY!" Moses pointed up to the sky. "Check that out!" Hiro looked upwards, spotting a light blue beam heading straight towards the three bladers.

"Oh…crap…" Hiro bit his lip as the light blue beam hit him AND Tyson. Moses gasped, but was thankful when nothing…extremely dire happened. But Tyson woke up; guess that's all that happened.

"…Uh…Moses, we have a slight problem…" Hiro said, looking at the 12-year old.

"What's that, Tyson?" Moses asked.

"…Exactly my point. I'm Hiro," Hiro said.

Tyson snickered, "Cool, so…I'm Brooklyn, now, right?…" Tyson paused and a huge grin broke across his face a few seconds later. "AWESOME! I'm a chick magnet!" Tyson yelled and punched the air with his good arm.

"…I thought you already WERE one…" Moses said, and then burst into laughter, falling backwards into the snow and holding his stomach while laughing. (A/N: Sweet! I reached 70 pages!) Tyson glared as Hiro started laughing along with Moses, although not as hard.

"OH SHUT UP!" Tyson glared. "Oww!"

"…Sweet, I don't have any injuries!" Hiro smirked as Tyson glared at his…uh…older (?) brother. Hiro smirked,

"Ha!" Hiro stuck his tongue out at his younger (?) brother.

"…I wanna hurt you so much right now…" Tyson said, growling.

"It'd be child abuse!" Hiro said, smirking. Tyson huffed and attempted to cross his arms, but couldn't because of his shoulder. "Ahh, I'm gonna like being a chibi…"

"Tyson?"

Tyson looked forward, as did Hiro and Moses.

"Kane! Ozuma?" Tyson blinked. "Whoa, what are you guys doing here?"

"We heard about what happened and we were in town…" Ozuma started.

"…And we wanted to help!" Kane finished.

"Did you guys switch, also?" Hiro asked, jumping down off of Tyson's lap.

"Yes…" Kane replied, sweatdropping.

"So who's who?" Moses asked.

"Well…" Mariam reached up and pulled a roll-up screen out of nowhere, which had small doodles of the 8 bladers. "I, Mariam, am in Salima's."

"WAIT," Tyson raised his good arm/hand, "how's that possible?"

"…We were together when the beam hit us," Ozuma said, sighing.

"…Anyways," Mariam glared, which looked weird, "Ozuma's in Kane's, Kane's in Ozuma, Jim's in Goki's, who's turned into a rabbit, Goki's in Jim's, Joseph's turned into a cat—"

"Hey! We'll have a hard time telling Kevin and Joseph apart, now! Haha!"

"SHUT UP TYSON. Anyways, somehow, I'm in Salima's, and Salima who's in me was turned into a cat also—"

"Hey, now we'll have two purple animals!"

"TYSON. ANYWAYS, Dunga's 12—"

"YAY! Someone feels my pain!"

"…What's your name?"

"Moses."

"MOSES SHUT UP." Mariam snapped, "That's it. So, you want us to get you back to your friends?"

"Yes! Please!" Tyson said, smiling.

"Then…follow us!" Ozuma said, running past them, the rest following.

"Guys! Guys!" Hilary swooped down and landed on Tala's back. "I think I saw them!"

Suddenly, the bushes rustled!

And out of the bushes came…………………………!

Everyone: —watching intently—

A bunny.

Everyone: GAH! HILARY!

"No! Everyone! It's me! Jim!"

Everyone: JIM?

"…I'm in Goki's body, which was turned into a rabbit!" Jim turned around. "GUYS! They're here! They're over here!"

Now, the bushes rustled, and a chibi Tyson ran out, smiling.

"Hallelujah! They aren't dead!" Hiro said, jumping up and down. "Ty! Moses! C'mon!"

Everyone: O.O Huh?

Limping, Tyson slowly made his way out of the bushes and through the over growth, "I hate you, Hiro…"

"Don't I know it."

"Hiro! Tyson!" The gang rang forward, chibi Ray and Kai hugging Hiro from each side, well aware it was Hiro. Hilary hugged Tyson gingerly, avoiding his injuries, and Max did the same.

"We were worried sick!" Judy said, putting her hand over her heart just as the rest of the Saint Shields and Psykicks came out of the brush.

"Well, we're back together at least!" Max said, smiling. Tyson nodded, smiling also.

"And guess what!" Mystel and Garland chimed. "We're back to normal!"

"And," Mystel added, "Garland jumped over the SUN!"

Everyone: —anime fall—

"HEY GUYS!" Moses jumped out of the bushes. "LOOKIT ME! I'M 12!"

"…Good…for you…?" Garland blinked with his arms crossed. "Wait, why do you look like Monica!"

"This is how I looked when I was 12…" Moses said, growling.

"Hey guys!" Mariah said, catching everyone's attention. "I…feel…really……Eep!" Mariah covered his mouth as everyone was blinded by a bright light.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! MY EYES!" Mystel screamed as the light faded.

"…I'M ME AGAIN!" Mariah screamed, her normal voice back. "I'm female!" Mariah looked down and around herself. "Yup! Completely female!"

Everyone: …o.O

"…Hey…it's snowing…" Mathilda said dreamily, looking up, excitement sparkling in her fox eyes.

"…It's gonna be a very merry Christmas this year…" Miguel said, smiling.

"A mixed up…" Michael added.

"A chibi-fied…" Kevin re-added.

"A gender-switched…" Spencer re-re-added.

"And a animal-fied…" Enrique re-re-re-added because he hasn't talked that much in this fan fiction (A/N: Has he had ANY lines? —checks—)

"But a Christmas never the less…" Lee said, smiling. Rick looked out towards the readers, smiling.

"Merry Christmas everyone! And have a happy New Year!" Rick said, clapping her hands together. (A/N: Has RICK talked at all, either!)

Raul and Julia looked at each other with confusion, and then at Rick, "Who are you talking to?"

Merry Christmas everyone! And have a happy New Year!

Peace and Love,

T-LW-T

R&R please.
