Sharro - Laika's Dorm
"Laika-san..."
'...Nn?'
"Laika-san, it's 15:30, you should get up now. The General is not very pleased with you."
'The hell..? That's not my Navi's voice...'
"Laika-san. Get up now."
"Don't do this Laika-san..."
'Nani...?'
Suddenly a loud whistle sounded by their ear and blue eyes flew open, crying out in shock, before jumping up, only to fall and land on the cold hard floor. "Itai." He moaned as he stood up and rubbed his sore backside and blinked, before he finally took in his surroundings.. 'This... is not my room...' He stared wide eyed at the room and got the feeling he had been here before, he just could not place here finger on who's place it was. "Laika-san. Stop staring off into space. It's late afternoon, and the General is not too thrilled with you. And-" He looked over to where the PET was and saw the Navi residing in it, before his eyes widened and he turned around quickly, dashed into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and screamed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME!"
Searchman logged into the bathroom's mirror and looked very concerned. "Laika-san?" He said slightly frantically. He stared at the mirror longer, speechless. "..." Search wished he was real so he could give his operator a nice hard poke to snap him out of it. He was bewildered by his NetOp's strange behavior at waking up. It was almost scary. "...Laika-san?" He asked hesitantly. The teen's eyes drifted to the Navi. Shakily, he shook his head. "I... I'm not Laika. I can't be! This is just too freaky, I must be dreaming!" He pinched himself to try and wake himself up "Itai!" He hissed when he felt the pain. "Okaaay... This is real. Why am I in Laika's body?" He cried hysterically, on the verge of hyperventilating.
Searchman stared. "Laika-san, stop this. You're acting rather-" "I'm. Not. Laika! I'm Netto! Oh my god! What happened? I remember going to bed after Rock told me to 'cause I fell asleep doing homework. And now I'm here in Laika's body, in his dorm, in Sharro of all places!" He ran a hand through his hair and took in big gulps of air, trying to calm down. Search stared at the teenager like he had gone crazy. "Laika-san...are you feeling alright?" He asked. "I'm not Laika, and no I don't feel alright, I'm not in my own body!" He cried. As if he suddenly remembered, his eyes widened. "Then who's in my body if I'm in Laika's?" He stared at the Navi in the mirror before fleeing back to the bedroom and picked up the PET. "Laika-san?" Searchman said once he re-entered the device. "Call Enzan for me, please!" He said nearly desprately.
To say Searchman.EXE was freaked out at his Operator's new attitue, they would be understating it. He was beyond freaked out. He was concerned, upset, and far from being okay. But he nodded slightly at the teen's request and opened a window and connected it, placing a streamwave video call to Enzan's PET.
Ring... Ring... Ring... Ri-
"Hello?"
"Enzan!"
"...Netto?"
"Yes! It's me! Don't tell me you switched bodies, too?"
The video screen opened and he say Enzan sitting there with his own body in the background, looking freaked out. "Yes, I did. You happen to be in my body and Enzan's in your's." Laika said calmly. Netto looked horror struck. "But- but... How? Why? I'm so confused!" He cried, eyes still wide and he had began to take in fast breaths of air. His face was flushed and his face was paler than thought it could be. "Calm down, Hikari! You're going to pass out in my body. Or get sick. Just take a deep breath, and get a grip. Neither Enzan nor I know why or how it happened, but we all switched bodies. Rockman believes Enzan's you, Blues knows we've switched. And does Searchman...?" He asked.
Netto took in a few deep breaths and sighed before sitting back on Laika's bed and held the PET with one hand, running a hand through his hair sheepishly. "Err.. I kind of freaked out and I think he thinks I'm crazy." He glanced at the Navi in the PET who happened to be staring back and forth between the screens with a bewildered and confused expression. "Yep. Definitely either thinks we're crazy or something." He said seriously. Laika resisted the urge to smack his head. "Okay... Searchman?" He questioned. "...Yes?" Came the very confused reply.
"I know it's confusing and crazy, and I find it hard to believe myself, but I'm Laika, Netto's me, and Enzan's Netto. Somehow when we slept we switched bodies. I need you to get Netto here as soon as you can without questions and without a mission. Preferrably take time off if you have to. Or call sick, I don't care anymore." He said. Search looked at the screen. To Ijuuin's face, to his Operators. He was beginning to tell that the person with him was not his operator and was getting the sense that the one that spoke to him was. But.. He was confused and way beyond freaked.
He slowly turned back and nodded. "I'll do what I can... But the General isn't very pleased with you. I'm afraid he may call a confrontation with you." He said seriously. Laika's face scrunched up in slight horror and utter disbelief. He groaned and head-desked for a moment, getting a snort and amused look from Enzan and Blues. He cast them a glare before looking back at the screen. "Hopefully he won't. But do call for time off, tell him I need a break to clear my head and get myself back on track. And try and get it for as long as possible." He said. Searchman nodded slightly. "Okay..." Laika then looked at Netto. "For the time being, just try to be me, okay? Call us when you find out when you get time off. We'll arrange things from there."
Netto nodded and sighed. "This is so freaky..." He said. Laika smirked slightly. "You're telling me. I had Enzan in my face demanding his body back a little earlier. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was trying to jump me." He said teasingly. Netto choked and laughed slightly. "Not in my body, please!" He said. Enzan's face had taken on a bright embarrassed blush and an indignant look. "Shut up, Laika if you want to live." He threatened. Blues snickered in the background. Laika looked amused. "Anyways. Call us when you can." He said Netto nodded. "Right. Bye." Laika nodded slightly and the connection was cut. Netto stared for a few seconds before flopping onto his back and staring up at the ceiling.
"I'm in Laika's body, I'm in Sharro, They're at home and," He sighed before bringing up the PET to look at the Navi inside of it, looking slightly dazed and amused and hint of stress there. "my world has been totally rocked, flipped upside down and shaken, not stirred." He said. Searchman raised an eyebrow. "Netto-san?" He asked slightly. "Hai?" He looked questionably to the Navi. "...So I'm not imagining things? You're really Netto and Laika-san's with Enzan?" He asked, face looking very confused.
"Yep. I'm 100 positive I'm Netto. You can question me if you want to be sure." He said, lazily closing his eyes for a few moments before opening them, blue eyes focusing on the ceiling for a moment. Search blinked and shook his head. "It is not nessisary. I am just..." He searched for a word. "Confused?" Netto asked. The Navi looked a little hesitant, but nodded. "Yes," He finally agreed. "I... Did not expect for this to happen." He said. Netto shrugged, grinning slightly, not seeing the surprised face of the Navi at seeing his usual operators face like that. "Neither did I," He said. "It feels like something from Freaky Friday almost."
Searchman made a face of question. Netto shrugged. "It's a movie that aired in Netopia. It was about these two people switching bodies for a week or so, I think. Hopefully this doesn't stay longer than that." The Navi nodded. "It could be trouble if it lasts a long time." He agreed before he sighed and started to write an email. "What are you doing?" Netto asked curiously. "I'm emailing the General asking for time off as Laika-san asked. Since I'm sure you don't want to try and live Laika's life." He said dryly. Netto made a face. "You're right, I don't."
Electopia - Enzan's Office
"So, Netto's you." Enzan said finally after five minutes of silence. Laika nodded silently, eyes closing for a moment. "I have a bad feeling about this," He said when he finally spoke. Enzan snorted, hopping up onto his own work desk and looked at the other teen which inhabited his body. "Enlighten me." He said, crossing his arms. Laika sighed and ran a hand through his hair, tugging on the long black side bang, before twirling it around his finger as he thought. When he came back to reply he saw the other giving him an odd look. "What?" He asked.
"You playing with my hair. It looks weird. I don't do that." He said. Laika shrugged sheepishly and dropped his hand. "I normally twirl a pencil or something when I'm thinking. Or string." He said innocently. Enzan looked at him amusedly. "Call it a habit," Laika said dryly. "Anyways, I have a bad feeling. We didn't just switch without a reason. I didn't even know you could switch bodies. It seems improbable. But somehow it's happened and I have a feeling that it was for a reason."
"But what reason?"
"I don't know, but I think this shouldn't be taken lightly. What would happen if we had to crossfuse? We couldn't. Because our sync rates would be too low."
"...That's going to be a problem."
"Of course it is!" Laika spat, feeling rather grumpy at the moment. Enzan noticed but made no comment, but pulling out Rock's PET and switching it on. When it booted and Rock fully emerged, he looked a little angry. "Why did you turn the PET off, Netto-kun?" He demanded. Enzan looked a little sheepish, grinning slightly. "Uhm... I wanted to talk to Enzan alone, sorry." He offered. The Navi's face lighened for a moment, but went stern again. "Next time, at least tell me you're going to so do!" He scolded Enzan's grin widened before he mock saluted the Navi. "Hai!"
Laika snorted amusedly. "Who knew you were so obediant, Hikari." He said dryly, slipping into his part as Enzan. Blues chuckled from the computer screen. "I almost wish I had Enzan-sama trained that well." Enzan's face started to heat up, both from Laika and Blues' comment. "Shut up," He muttered. Rock started laughing at that. "I don't have Netto-kun trained. Though sometimes I wish I did. At least he would listen to me then!" He said "Oi!" Enzan cried indignantly, face going more red.
Laika chuckled, shaking his head. "Na, Hikari, you should really stop blushing, or it'll permanantly stay there. Not that it doesn't look good on you," He teased. Enzan's eyes widened before he started sputtering. "Stop that!" He cried, covering his face with his hands, trying to force the blush on his face away. But he wasn't in his own body, so it was alot harder to do so. Rock was giggling loudly and Blues looked amused.
"I swear I'm going to kill you, Enzan." The brunette growled, glaring lightly at the other teen. Laika laughed rolling his eyes. "Yeah, right. You couldn't take me. I'm taller than you and faster." He added. Enzan smirked. "As I recall, it was me who kicked your butt when we fought. But that was only because you were too distressed over losing Blues, so I guess that didn't count, but I still punched you good!" He said. Blues looked slightly shocked. "Nett- You hit Enzan-sama?" Blues asked. Enzan nodded. "Hai. Enzan was being a prick, trying to deny that he was missing you and tried to say that Navi's were just data again, so I screamed at him and punched him. We wrestled for a bit and we both ended up breaking down." He smiled grimly
Blues looked rather shocked and Laika tried his best to look embarrassed and slightly ashamed, but he couldn't imagine what Enzan had gone through during that time. "I guess I went a little overboard..." Laika said quietly. Enzan smiled lightly. "No, it was your natural defense to things. Block out what hurts you the most. I don't blame you, but I sure as hell don't want to have to punch you again. That hurt my knuckles, it left a bruise." He whined. Laika laughed. "It left a bruise on me, too, you know." He said indignantly. The brunette laughed. "That it did. I'm sorry." He murmured quietly. "Aww, isn't that cute!" Rock said loudly. Enzan looked startled and his face turned red again "Oi!" He cried. The Navi's laugh rang through the room as Enzan tried once again to get his blush under control.
Laika looked rather amused and shook his head, brushing the whitened bangs out his his eyes, smirking a little. "Well, it's all been said and done, all that's left to do is move on. Things happen, and now they're back as they should be." Enzan nodded. "I agree." A snort came from the computer and they both looked to see Blues muttering something about the Apocalypse coming at those words. Enzan's face twisted and he broke out laughing loudly, squealing as the words hit him straight in the funnybone almost. "Oh my god! That's so funny! Blues I didn't know you could make a joke!" The boy kept giggling and Laika found it all too amusing that Enzan was laughing, even though he was pretending to be Netto.
"Calm down Netto-kun before you pass out!" The blue Navi cautioned. Blues snorted. "I wasn't trying to joke, Netto-san." He said dryly. "But you still did. Who knows, maybe someday you'll be a comedian." Laika teased. Blues made a 'hmph' sound. "That will happen the day you sing opera and do ballet, Enzan-sama." He said sarcasticly. Laika took on a pondering expression. "Well, opera is rather nice..." He trailed off, a small grin coming to his face at the horrified look Enzan made. "But I don't think I could sing like that, and nor will I ever be into ballet. Nothing could make me." He said.
Enzan smirked lightly. "Plus, your voice sucks, and let alone would you ever dress up in those tights." He added. Laika's face started to turn slightly red at the thought and he snorted. "Yeah well, you wouldn't look too good in them either, Hikari. I think you'd look better in drag than in tights." He shot back. Enzan's eyes widened and his mouth dropped, face turning bright red. 'He did -NOT- just say that! He didn't, he didn't, he didn't! ...He did.'
Thankfully, Enzan was saved from further embarrassment from a cough that came from Rockman. "Netto-kun, It's time to go home. Mama will be worried if we don't get back soon for dinner. Since I know you're never late for it, plus you have homework to do." He said. Enzan made a face. "Ugh..." He said at the thought of homework. "Alright, I'm going. He hopped off his usual desk and picked up Netto's back and skates and turned to Laika. "Bye, Enzan. I'll see you later." Laika smirked. "See you, Hikari."
Turning and tossing the backpack over his shoulder, Enzan made his way out of the bigass mansion and clipped the skates on and began to skate back towards Netto's house, thinking as he went. Obviously Laika was right about their switching for a reason. And He was right about them not being able to crossfuse should they have to. But the question was why did they even switch at all and how did it happen. He brought his hand up and looked down at the crest there. '...Could it? I thought I was seeing things...' He shook his head and dropped his hand by his side as he kept skating towards the house that was Netto's.
Sharro - Outside Hall
"That wasn't so bad." Searchman said from his PET. Netto looked down at the Navi with a dubious look. "Not that bad? The hell is this place? I knew it was harsh here but god, Laika's superiors have more boot's shoved up their asses than he does!" He exclaimed loudly. They had been in to visit the General's office to get their time off, and for him to 'speak' to them. What Netto did not expect was to be chewed up the hill then back down, then verbally booted out onto his ass outside the door once he was finished.
Searchman looked a bit uncomfortable and said nothing. Netto continued to fume silently. It took every inch of his self-control and patience to not burst out at the General. He managed to just nod and say 'yes, sir.' when prompted, but lordamighty, he was ready to burst. "Remind me to never, ever switch lives with anybody again." He muttered as they walked into Laika's apartment. "I don't think your switching was actually a choice, Netto-san." He said dryly. "I know, but if I was ever given the chance to choose, I wouldn't." He said as he shrugged off the long cloak that Laika usually wore and the hat and he made his way to the kitchen and rummaged around the cupboard for a few moments.
"Netto-san?"
"Hai?"
"What are you looking for?"
"The hot chocolate. I brought some the last time I stayed over here when I was on a mission. And I know he has it here somewhere..." Netto scanned the next cupboard over. "...Aha." He pulled out the box of the sweet chocolate mix and then took the kettle that Laika normally used for tea and filled it up and set it on the stove, turning it on to 7 on the dial and leaning against the counter to wait. "That's rather unhealthy for you, you know." Search commented. "And I really don't think Laika-san would appreciate you splurging in sugary and chocolaty-things while you're in his body."
Netto made a face. "The hell if I'm not gonna have at least some of the things I like. Besides, I'm cold and I don't drink tea like Laika. It tastes nasty to me and I can't stand the mellowy feeling I get afterwards." Search looked amused. "That's the point of it, Netto-san. To calm you down." Netto made another face. "Bah, then." The kettle started whistling and the aqua-haired teen took it off the kettle and poured some of the hot liquid into a mug, then added the cocoa mixture.
Stirring it and making sure it was all melted, Netto then hunted around in the cupboards again and until he pulled out a fresh bag of miniature marshmellows he had stocked the last visit. Putting a small handful into the mug, he stirred it before he brought it up and blew in the concoction and took a sip of it, moaning loudly at the taste. "Ahhh... That tastes so good." He murmured. Searchman blinked, trying to hide his snicker. "I've never seen anyone have an orgasmic experiance over hot chocolate before. Though I have seen Enzan have one over coffee." He commented. To that, Netto choked and burst out laughing. "Hahaha!" He almost felt like keeling over he was laughing so hard.
"Of course Enzan would. He drinks about two pots a day. " Netto said amusedly, wiping his tears of mirth away. "Oh that was priceless." He stood up fully and leaned against the sink again for support as he lifted the mug up and took another sip. "Of couse, I don't think that was quite an orgasmic experiance. Though it was rather arousing." He joked, getting a slight blush and snort from the Navi. "You're something else, Netto-san." He said quietly. Netto smiled.
"I know."
DHC: HAHAHAHA There you go. Netto's reaction, and Search's and everyone elses. Haha, fear. Don't ask about the hot chocolate or coffee thing XD and whoot, I couldn't help adding the slightly yaoi-moments... Anyways, yeah. Review please!
