Oh gosh, I am so sorry for the delay on this. Work and school became a lot and i did not have any time to write these. But I still plan to write and finish them up, even if it takes me a bit. So anyways here we go!


Chapter 15: The Body Swap 2 (Roxas and Ventus)

Roxas yawn before turning over in bed. Though he ended up rolling over farther than he expected and fell off the bed. When he hit the floor with a hard thump his eyes shot up. He had to blink a few times before realizing where he was.

"How the heck did I end up on the bottom bunk?" Roxas wondered as he sat up.

He then looked down and noticed something else. "And why am I wearing Ventus's pajamas?!"

Roxas jumped up to his feet and looked to the top bunk. There he could see the familiar look-alike hair to his. He crawled up the ladder and stared over at his brother who was still fast asleep.

"Hey! Wake up! Why and how the heck did you switch placed with me?"

"Huh?" Ventus yawned. "What are you talking about?"

"You moved me to the bottom bunk and swapped pajamas with me. What kind of stupid prank even is that?"

Ventus sat up, rubbing his eyes. "I didn't do that. That would be too hard to do…" He then looked around and saw that he was in fact on the top bunk and wearing Roxas's pajamas. "How… wait you didn't do this, did you?'

"If I did why would I be asking you!?" Roxas scoffed.

"True… but then how did we end up in each others clothes and beds?" Ventus asked.

"I don't know, but get out of bed so we can start to figure it out," Roxas said as he got back down to the floor.

Ventus followed after him and now the two of them were staring down at one another, trying to think of a good reason. "Maybe we are just dreaming this?"

"Some real feeling dream if that's the case," Roxas said while rolling his eyes.

"If it isn't that then what could it be? Did we like, switch bodies or something?"

The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes. It was the strangest thought… but it wasn't like they could just straight up deny it… could they?

"How would we even check that?" Roxas asked. Then the answer became clear to both of them.

"Birthmarks," they both said in unison.

They pulled up their shirts to look at one another. Though what they saw wasn't what they expected. Ventus was supposed to have a five point star shape on his stomach while Roxas's birthmark was heart shaped. But what the boys saw was the birthday on the opposite brother. Or at least that was their initial reaction thought.

"So… we have switched bodies?" Ventus asked after putting his shirt down.

"Unless you know how to switch birthmarks, I'd assume so."

"But… how?"

"Ven if I knew I wouldn't be asking so many questions," Roxas groaned. Sometimes his brother's cluelessness and obliviousness could be tiring.

"I know, you're right. But what are we going to do about this? I know we look alike, but I don't think we could pull off pretending to be the other," Ventus replied.

"Says who? I'm sure I can easily pretend I am my absent minded brother," Roxas replied with a chuckle.

"Hey!" Ventus grumbled. "Seriously though, people may notice. Your voice… or really my voice now is a slight bit deeper. Either way would be hard, whether we tried to be each other or just tried to pretend we were still ourselves."

"You sure about that? It can't be that hard," Roxas replied.

"I have a fencing competition this weekend and you have a skateboarding one. You really think either a, I can pull off using a skateboard or b, we can fool the judges? I am sure your body is not fit for fencing, and it could really cost me the competition."

Roxas groaned again at his brother's nitpicks. "Fine. So let's actually think of something we could about it," Roxas said. Then a thought came to him. "Hey maybe we could go ask Zexion. He's good with sciency things, maybe he could figure out what happened to us."

Ventus nodded. "That sounds actually like a good plan. Let's get dressed and head over to his place."

"But… why not call or text him first and ask?"

"Cause you really think he will believe if I just call or text him saying 'Hey I swapped bodies with me brother. Can you help us?' It's better to just show up in person and explain it there," Ventus explained.

"Okay, fair point there. Let's get going then."

The two of them got dressed and soon headed out the door. Only half way down the street did they realize that they had still subconsciously put on their own outfits rather than the other. But seeing as they looked nearly identical it wasn't going to be obvious to anyone else but them.

When they got to Zexion's house, Ventus went up to knock on the door. They waited a moment before it opened to having Zexion standing in the door. Though usually they saw the man dressed in a lab coat, writing away at scinectif ideas and other things, today he was wearing much more casual clothes. A weird sight, but not entirely uncommon for the man. "Yeah?"

"Zexion, can we come in?" Ventus asked, not caring to attempt to raise Roxas's tone of voice to his level.

Since their voices were practically the same it barely gave him any shock when speaking, though the feeling of body was surely one thing that felt off. Roxas always was skateboarding and had build up muscle mass and a body structure fit to that lifestyle. It was something far different than his choice of fencing. But thankfully he was not feeling too weird or off about it, but he did want to get switched back as quick as possible.

"Uuhh… now's not really the best time," Zexion said. There was an odd tone in his voice, but neither Roxas or Ventus could place it.

"This is urgent though," Roxas said, stepping forward. "Something weird happened and you are the only one that could help us."

"Me? Well I would say that I-" Zexion cut himself off, shaking his head slightly. "I mean, I could help, but I um… I'm a bit busy today."

There was still that odd tone in Zexion's voice that sounded off. Something about the way he was speaking didn't sound… well like Zexion. But again it wasn't something that Ventus or Roxas could place.

"This is serious though, Roxas and I have somehow switched bodied and we need your help to solve it!" Ventus exclaimed, deciding it was best to get right to the point rather than dance around it.

Zexion's eyes widened. "Whoa wait really?!"

His voice sounded strange again, and the expression was clearly not one that Zexion would usually hold. But before Ventus and Roxas could question it, he pulled them into the house.

"So it's happening to others too, that's so weird! Wait 'till Zexion hears this!"

Now both Roxas and Ventus clearly knew something was off. And it seemed Zexion caught on to their expressions. He started to laugh… in a very geeky way that was no way Zexion at all.

"Oh! Sorry guys, it's actually me, Demyx. Somehow Zexion and I swapped bodies and we can't understand why. But don't worry, he's hard at work doing all that sciencey stuff."

Ventus and Roxas started to laugh. The meer fact that Demyx and Zexion had swapped bodies was amusing enough, but actually seeing it and understanding Zexion's odd mannerisms made it a whole lot better.

"Oh, seriously? Demyx?" Roxas asked between his laughs.

"Yeah it's me, I said that already. It's so weird, isn't it? But just wait till Zexion hears about it! Come on!"

Zexion, now revealed to actually be Demyx swapped into Zexion's body, grabbed the twins by their wrists and pulled them towards the basement. Down the stairs was a small laboratory that was filled with notes and files on all different experiments. And fast at work on one of the computers… was Demyx, but only by appearance. But the sight alone was enough to get the twins to laugh again. Not only did it look like Demyx was writing away scientific things on a computer, but he was now also dressed in a lab coat.

He wiped around in the chair and stared at the sight before him. He was also wearing a pair of reading glassing. "Demyx!" Zexion shouted in Demyx's voice, making it hard for Roxas and Ventus to contain their laughter. "I thought we agreed not to bring anyone down here when I was work!"

"Sorry, but I just had to bring them here. They said that they swapped bodies too!"

"And you expect me to believe that they said that after you probably told them?" Zexion scoffed.

"No no," Demyx replied. "They came here first and told me, I only told them that we swapped after they said that they did."

Zexion narrowed his eyes and walked over to Roxas and Ventus. Neither of them had ever seen such a serious glare coming from the sitar loving boy, but it was something that suited Zexion. "And how can we believe that you two have swapped bodies? You're identical, it would be easy to pull off for the two of you."

"But we really did!" Ventus protested. "I'm Ventus, but you can hear my voice is a little deeper. And look," Ventus pulled up his shirt slightly to reveal the heart shaped birthmark. "That's Roxas's birthmark, mine is the shape of a star."

"Still not convinced," Zexion huffed. "You can easily swap clothes and pretend to sound like the other. I would need something really worthwhile to truly show you two have swapped bodies."

"But… how would we do that?" Ventus asked.

"I don't know, perhaps one of you knows something that the other doesn't," Zexion suggested.

"Oh! Then I totally got something," Roxas said before laughing. "There was this one evening I was walking through the park, and Demyx was there playing on his sitar like he usually does. There weren't many people around, but out of nowhere-"

Demyx clamped a hand over Roxas's mouth. "Dude! You promised never to tell that to anyone!"

Roxas said something back, or more tried to say something but it came out muffled into Demyx's hand. Zexion hummed softly as he looked at the stressed face that Demyx was putting onto his own face.

"So Demyx… Roxas was the one that knows this… secret? Whatever it may be?" Zexion asked.

"Yes!" Demyx exclaimed. "So you believe them now?"

"Almost, there is still one last test I would want to do," Zexion said before looking at Ventus. "You said that you are the one to have the star birthmark, correct?"

"Yeah, but I already showed you I am in Roxas's body. This is Roxas's birthmark," Ventus replied.

"Hmm temporary tattoos are makeup are also possible, before I can finally believe you, I will want to run a test to see if the birthmarks you show me are the real ones or not."

Roxas and Ventus looked at each other, both of them happy that Zexion was going to help though, but also surprised that he didn't believe them. Then again he was a man of science. He wanted clear and solid answers and he would do whatever he could to get to them. The twins could only hope that Zexion would believe them soon enough so he could get back to work on finding a way to swap them back.


I think I also just had a bit of writer's block on this, but I hope you guys enjoyed. As I said I do plan to finish this! I will try my best!
