I approached the large mansion I called home. When I found wheeler this stupid dream would be over. I pushed the gate open and continued up to the front door. I pushed the door bell and Rowland my most trusted employee answered.
"Hello?" I thought for a moment then replieyed. "Um hello. I'm here on urgent business wit Mr. Kaiba. Can I speak wit him?"
I hated the way I sounded and wanted to throw up again. Why did all my withs come out wits? Rowland nodded ad moved aside for me to enter. I looked around. The house was thankfully still in one piece. I wandered into the dining room and saw mokuba eating chocolate cereal. Mokuba wasn't allowed to eat chocolate for breakfastt! He looked up at me. "
Joey?" he asked, "what are you doing here?"
I took a deep breathe. I really did wanna tell him but this of course was just a dream.
"I need to talk wit your brother." I'm your brother is what I wanted to yell but didn't. Mokuba laughed. "oh he's in the office," he said,"That's 2 floors and 3 floors away from the elevator."
I nodded, and hurried away to the elevator. Then in a flash was outside MY office and swung open the door. I looked up and saw ME in the office chair.
"You!" I boomed the accent not even bothering me.
I looked up at me, and a pale color closed my face.
"This really is real," my body said. I shook my head." No it isn't", I said angrily, "This is just a dream and any minute now I'm gonna wake up and dis whole thing will be over."
My body looked angrily at me.
" Don't you get it!" he yelled, "This isn't a dream! I've been pinching myself all morning and I got no where. If this was a dream wouldn't somebody in this room not be real and by the looks of things were real."
My stomach lurched. I...he had a point.
"Then who are you?" I asked not really wanting to know the answer. "JOEY!" I felt my stomach rearing up to barf again. "YOU!" I yelled, "WHY IN DA WORLD DID DIS HAPPENEN TO ME AND YOU?" The next thing I knew Joey had gotten to his feet, "GIVE ME BACK MY BODY!" he demanded, and "I WANT MY ACCENT AND MY HAIR AND MY LOOKS ALL BACK PRONTO!"
I sighed. I really wanted to throw up or break down or something but I couldn't not in front of wheeler.
"I don't know how ta fix us ok?"I said slowly, "Maybe we just need to figure out how to continue OUR OWN lives while in each others bodies?" Joey nodded, "I guess your right," he said, "This all too weird for my tastes." I nodded, even though I hated agreeing with this guy. "What are we gonna do?" I asked beginning to pase. "Well we'll just have to go on with each others lives." he shrugged "I mean it's only logical." I laughed lowly. "My bodies doin wonders for ya vocabulary, wheeler." He shot me a nasty look then I leaned in close. "Can...I mean should we tell anybody?" Joey sighed. "I dunno. I don't think so. I mean it's probably not the best idea right? I mean imagine the pandemonium."
He looked shocked that he even knew what pandemonium meant. Then his eyes lite up in a question,
"What are we gonna do about school, and friends, your business, I we need to take a squat?"
I thought, of course it was always up to me to figure out the answers.
"Ok," I said finally, "I have no problem going to school for you in fact I'll probley pass all your classes...just don't screw up my perfect grades..." "I'm in honors though." I looked at him "HOW DID YOU GET IN HONERS?"
He shrugged.
"Well the teacher really liked me last year..." I stopped him. "...like I was saying, "I continued, " I can't promise I'll hang wit your friends, as for my business, I'll call A LOT and if ya screw up anything here so help me I'll..." "Ok ok. I get it." "And as for using da bathroom...Quote me if ya want...ya can hold it." "What about your brother?"
I stopped. Mokuba. What was I going to do? I loved that kid more then anything in the universe and wheeler expected me to just leave him with him?
"I dunno," I murmured Wheeler nodded. "This won't be easy will it?" "Not a chance." Then suddenly the door swung open and Rowland walked in. "Um Mr. kaiba?"
"Yes," I began to ask when I realized who I looked like and that I had to play the part if I didn't want the whole freakin world knowing about this embarrassing screw up. I mean think of my reputation! What would people say? I could see it all now, kaiba corp. going down in smoke, mokuba being embarrassed to call me his brother, wheeler destroying my life piece by piece, then eventually killing himself in my body, and I de be stuck in his surrounded by all his geeky friends and there talk of magic and ancient evil and that saving the world crud. Oh my head hurt just thinking about it.
"Um your brother wants to know if you're ready to go out shopping for school stuff yet." "Um in a minute," Joey managed to say, "Can you excuse us? Thanks." Ok the first rule about me: I never say thanks. Not even to my co workers. When Rowland left I turned to wheeler. "What's this about shopping?" I asked. "Oh he wanted to buy some stuff for school that's all." he laughed, "I mean what's the big deal?" I grounded. "I guess nothing. When do you start school?" "Oh tomorrow." "Do you have your uniforms yet?" "Yuup." "Ok and one more question wheeler." "Yeah?" "You do know your wearing pajamas right?" Joey looked down. "Yeah yeah shut it kaiba."
Joey's pov
I finally got kaiba to leave so I could take his brother shopping.
"Come on seto!" mokuba called from the limo as I climbed into.
The thing was HUGE! The seats were soft and cushy and the thing stretched on for what looked and felt like forever.
"Where to Mr. Kaiba?" the chauffer asked me as he pulled away from the house. "The mall I guess." "I can't wait," Mokuba bounced happily around the backseat, "Thanks for going shopping with me big brother. I know how much you hate it so it really means a lot that you agreed. I mean who knows? Maybe well actually find something you like to wear today. I want a cool backpack for home school this year seto. I mean really really cool. I want a messenger bag or wheelie bag or something like that. That and a cool outfit for school."
Wow did this kid ever shut up? I just nodded to whatever he said trying to focus my eyes ahead. I felt like I was sitting in an elevated seat. I felt so high up. I sighed. Mokuba continued to chat away about school. I just nodded. The car pulled over and Mokuba bounced out excitedly. I hurried out behind him afraid the limo would take off with me inside it.
"Come on!" mokuba yelled as he dashed ahead of me into the mall.
This wasn't going to be fun.

I entered wheelers house. I guess due to the denial that morning I hadn't noticed what a dump the place had been when I left. But now I did. There was garbage everywhere; the dishes in the sink mounted to the ceiling, even the rug looked like it was made of dust. The whole place was just disgusting. I walked around a pile of un made laundry and into the bedroom that was just as bad as I left it this morning.
"Oh God," I murmured as I made my way to the bed and threw my self down.
The real truth? That it wasn't really that comfortable. I looked over next to me and noticed the phone still was off the hook. I put it back on. Of course the minute I did it started to ring. I took a deep breathe and answered.
"Hello?" I asked hesitantly. "Joey?" I knew that voice anywhere.
That was Yugi.
"Um hello Yugi," I said slowly. "How are you feeling?"
I didn't understand.
"Fine..."
Yugi took a deep sigh.
"I just thought since you know the accident yesterday, that you still weren't feeling good. But I guess you feel better huh?"
"Yeah" I scoffed sarcastically; "I feel great."
he didn't notice though.
"Ok good, "he answered. "Because I'm calling you from tea's cell phone."
"Why?"
"Well were on the way over for our annual end-of-summer party, remember?"
I faked a laugh
. "Yeah. Of course. "
"Ok see you soon."
With that he hung up. I popped the phone back onto the receiver and got up. Ok. I had to act like Joey. I retreated to the bathroom and started at his face in the mirror.
"OK," I thought to myself, "I'm gonna just think that da mirror is da real wheela'. Of course I'd neva talk like dis in my life."
I concentrated on the mirror. I gave joeys' famous grin. I gave an angry look and a lost-in-the-clouds look. I laughed. I could make wheeler look like a complete idiot if I wanted.He already looked like a complete idiot though. without my help. Or make him say anything I wanted for that matter. I closed my eyes and imagined me in my body having wheeler walk up to me and saying.(I said this out loud, )
"Um kaiba? I wanted ta let ya know I'm a complete idiot and your the coolest smartest guy."
I opened my eyes and just looking in wheeler's face and laughed hysterically. Then I realized. That was MY laugh. I was laughing at myself. I grounded. Then I heard somebody bang on the door.
"Oh great," I mumbled, "Company."
I went to the front door and put on a fake smile. I might have had on a sweet face but I knew I was in for the worst day of my life. I mean not that it could have gotten much worse...right?
Joey's pov.
I wandered thought the mall. Normally I love this place the people, the food, the game stores, the girls...but not today. No today I wished I was safely under my covers and pretending this was all a horrible dream.
"Come on seto," Mokuba pulled on my trench coat as he yanked a clip board from his torn up backpack, "I think we should meet here in oh say an hour?" That gives me time to get some basic school supplies and you to get whatever. Then well get lunch and get the important stuff ok?"
I nodded and Mokuba ran off in the direction of the office supplies store. I wandered around for about 15 minutes, until I saw my favorite clothes store. I mean they always had the coolest stuff. Bandanas jackets, accessories, shirts, jeans, you name it! I walked in. The place was relatively empty except the girl at the cashier stand. She looked up at me in shock,
"seto kaiba!"
I looked around in shock then remembered.
"Oh yeah. Hi" The girl blushed,"Um can I have you autograph..." the girl looked almost afraid to ask.
I nodded and sighed the piece of paper she handed me. I sighed seto kaiba and handed it back to her. She flashed a smile,
"How can I help you? "She asked.
"I'm just here to look around."
"Well if you need anything...I'll be here,"
I continued looking around.I found cool green and blue shirts with dumb sayings on them and pre ripped jeans. I bought some sneakers and a few bandanas and hats. I even bought a chocker that looked really cool because of the way it reflected the light. I ran and got a couple more shirts without even trying them on and put all the stuff on the counter. The girl looked shocked.
"I can't really see you in this kind of stuff," she said quietly as she rang up the stuff, "What do I know though? I've only seen you on tv though."
I laughed mentally to myself.
This was probably the reason kaiba hated going out so much.
I grabbed my bag of stuff.
"Thanks." I grinned happily and made my way to the exit. "I heard her yell, "COME AGAIN!"
I walked out into the mall. I had to go meet Mokuba. I approached the waiting spot and saw him sitting on a nearby bench. He perked up when he saw me.
"Hi! Ready for lunch?"
Was I ever? I walked with him over to the food court.
"Whatcha in the mood for seto?"he asked.
I looked around. The food court had just about any type of food you could imagine.
"I dunno... Um, I like burgers."
Mokuba looked shocked, "Wow that's exactly what I wanted."
Then we walked over to the burger stand and got burgers and fries with 2 chocolate shakes.
"I guess you've been having a chocolate strike going on huh?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh come on seto. I mean you never have chocolate. Why the sudden change?"
I shrugged speechless. What was I supposed to say? I didn't finish my lunch though. I had been really hungry but barely ate anything. Or at least to my standards. I only had half my burger and a couple of fries and only a few sips of my shake. WHAT WAS THE MATTER WITH ME? Mokuba on the other hand finished all his food and picked on mine. Well not really but still.
"Ok let's go get some clothes and stuff for me for school," Mokuba said tossing his trash in the garbage can.
I did the same, taking a fry before the food fell in, I nodded.
"Where do you wanna go?" Mokuba shrugged, "I dunno you pick." I thought for a moment then it hit me,
"Ok let's go."

I opened the front door. There stood the goon squad gave a smile.
"Hi," I mumbled.
Tea wrapped her arms around me.
"I was so worried about you. Don't you EVER try and drown kaiba again!"
I sighed, "Yeah ok."
Was she always this touchy feely? Tristian punched me in the arm,
"I'll admit it was cool watching you stick his head on the puddle. That weirdo. He got what was coming to him."
Ifelt anger boil up inside me.
"Yup." I mumbled monotonelessy.
"Well what do we wanna do today?" Yugi asked happily.
"The movies?"
"The park?"
"Yeah right, what about the mall?"
I listened to all the suggestions and then I heard mall. I hated all of them but the mall the most. I wouldn't even take mokuba shopping there, but the others all loved the idea.
"Yeah that sounds fun." Tristian said.
"I don't know, "I mumbled.
Tristian looked at me.
"Oh come on." he said, "I mean it'll be fun, we can go to the arcade, check out the comic book store, go in the game shop, buy some clothes, or even check out the hotties."
I gave a mental ground.
"Ok fine, I'll go."
Tristian and the others cheered as the lead me out the door, Yugi hailed a cab and we all shoved ourselves in there. I hated public transportation. The cab reeked of fish and the cab driver was rude. There were flies buzzing around and the others talked like there was nothing going on, the freaks. Then finally we arrived at the mall. I dashed out as fast as I could. But so did tea and tristian leaving poor yugi with the bill. I heard him yell, "Every time!" I guess this happened a lot. Then we walked into the mall. I scowled. The stores all had weird clothes out front and the people shopping here were no better.
"Ok let's go to the regular store first." Tristian and Yugi chimed, as tea sighed.
But she did look happy. Why! I followed them to a rocker looking store and went in. The store was empty no surprise except for a cashier girl yapping rapidly on her cell. Tristian walked off toward the shoes and Yugi towards the jeans. Tea walked over to the accessories and they all left me standing there like a complete idiot. I walked over by the counter where the shirts were. The shirts all said stuff like. "Of course I'm out of mind, its dark and scary in there." and "I have an imaginary friend and he doesn't like you." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't understand who'd be caught dead in these. Then I heard the girl at the counter conversation.
"Yeah that's right." she said, "seto kaiba was in here!"
I turned my head in interest, the girl continued.
"Yeah so like he signed my autograph and SMILED at me! WOW right? He is sooooo much cuter in real life. And he's super nice not like everybody says. Maybe he likes me...really...you think...OH MY GOD HOW COOL!"
My eyes narrowed at the thought of me being "nice" to any idiot who worked here. I walked away angrily when I spotted the now framed autograph of "seto kaiba." I don't even write like that, do I?
"Hey Joey!" Tristian called, "What you just standing there for? Come on man were leaving!"
I looked over at him.
"Where's your stuff?" I asked as we left the store.
Finally. Tistian laughed.
"Like I have the kind of money to shop in there," he smiled. "No I'm saving my cash for the arcade. I only have like 15 wait...10 bucks."
I grounded. This was just great. Not only did I have to hang out with these people but they didn't even have any money. What fun. I walked along as we walked through the stores. The manga shop, the arcade, the game shop. I read a couple of pages of some manga in the manga store, and played some rpg and packman in the arcade, and watched some dumb kids gawk at a picture of the blue eyes white dragon that the shop owner had mounted on the wall. I smiled. I had the real thing. I had no need to gawk. I even noticed a mob of kids cluttered around a collogue of me. I guess the owner was a fan.
"I'd love to meet that guy," one kid said to another.
The other kid nodded.
"Yeah..."
I smiled. That's right, keep dreaming. Then we left from there and approached the food court, and we even had lunch Tea's treat. I have never been a big eater. I picked on anything and everything I ate. I got some sushi from the restaunt we choose and the next thing I knew the whole thing was gone and I was STILL HUNGRY. I eyed Tea's left over sesame chicken. I guess she saw me
."Want?" she offered.
I nodded and begin stuffing it in my mouth.
"Well I guess somebody's finally got there appetite back." Tristian laughed.
Yugi smiled at me and tea just sighed. I looked at all of them. I still didn't like them but when I wasn't aroundmeaning me in my body I guess they acted more like descent people. I continued to eat the food until it was all gone. Then we left. I walked along in silence as tea and tristian argued about some weird thing. I couldn't help but feel like yugi was staring at me. I turned and looked at him but he quickly looked away. Whatever. Then tristian spoke up,
"Hey Joey. Look who's coming out of that store up there!"
I looked up and saw wheeler exiting a store with somebody who I couldn't make out following behind him. I saw all the bags he was carrying and thought of all the money he had spent...oh it made me sick. Then I noticed the kid following him was wearing a pair of large jeans and a black-and-blue patched shirt with sneaker. His hair was hidden under a baseball cap. Then I noticed who he was and I felt anger boil up inside me. Mokuba?
Joey's pov
I saw kaiba and the gang approaching me and Mokuba who had just gotten out of a cool store. I had bought Mokuba a bunch of cool clothes all in his size. He really likes them. I felt a smile spread across my face as my friends neared. I wanted to run over to them and ask if they wanted to go to the arcade or the manga shop. Then I noticed the nasty look on my, er, kaibas face and knew I was in trouble. I didn't know for what though, but it wasn't good.
"Hi guys," Mokuba greeted them with a smile as a hung back and tried giving a bored look.
"Mokuba!" Tea exclaimed, "I like your new look. Where did you get them?"
"Oh seto just bought them for me. Cool huh?"
kaiba approached me casually and mouthed,
"Follow my lead."
Then he yelled.
"Oh yeah...well let me show you how big a jerk chu are!"
Then he shoved me into an employee's only door and locked it behind him. He yelled and screamed and banged on the walls then pushed me away from the door, and snapped,
"What were you thinking Wheeler! Why do you buy Mokuba all dose disgusting clothes?"
I shrugged,
"He liked them. That's the least to say bout the clothes you buy him."
"Don't say "bout" when you're in MY body, k...ok."
He corrected himself.
"Yeah well don't correct yourself while in my body."
he made a face.
"Wheeler keep your... my voice down! I don want Mokuba knowing bout dis."
I laughed,
"Did I mention I love your accent Mr Kaiba?"
"OK say 1 more thing I swear I'll..."
Ok, kaiba was beginning to sound just like me. Weird.
"Ok OK." I said, "Calm down will ya?"
"You."
"What?"
"The word is you. Calm down will you?"
"Whatever."
He sighed;
"This is like teaching a monkey. Oh yeah. You are a monkey."
I mounded.
"Ok I'm sorry about the whole Mokuba thing ok? I promise I won't do it again."
"Ok good,"
"but kaiba we can't go out there,"
he shrugged.
"Why not?"
"Ok we went in here FIGHTING, we can't go out there untouached right?"
"I guess my body is giving you common scence huh wheeler?"
Imade an angry face. Then he sighed.
"Yeah. Ok punch me."
"What!"
"Look Wheela' I aint ...I'm not goin out der letting my body being da losa,so lets get dis ova wit and just PUNCH ME!"
I took a deep breathe reared up my fist and punched me...him in the eye. He squeaked in pain and I mumbled,
"Oh joy. Now im going back to school with a black eye."
Then he stumbled out the door and I followed.
Well dats all for now fokes. hehe. well please review and let me know what you thought. until we meet again.
