Shigure Sohma leafed through the mail nonchalantly, tossing it on the counter in the kitchen, when something caught his eye.
He picked up the small, square envelope and read the cover.
'Personality Disorder in a Can! Change Your Friends' Personalities In a Heartbeat!"
Inside the envelope was a small package of the stuff. Shigure sniffed it.
"Ew... but it's just perfect..."
An evil grin spread across his face...
THE NEXT DAY:
Hatori, Ayame and Shigure were walking home from school on a bright, cloudless day.
"Hey guys! Wanna go get some soda or something?" Shigure suggested, fingering the packet of PD in a Can in his pocket.
"Sure." Hatori agreed, and Ayame sang a high C in approval.
They stopped at the nearest convenience store, each getting quite a different flavour of soda (Aaya- vanilla creme, Ha'ri- grape, Shigure- melon) and together, they sat on the porch of the main house.
"Can I try some of yours?" Shigure asked innocently, reaching for Hatori's soda.
"Um.. okay."
Shigure secretly slipped some of the powder in as he pretended to take a sip.
"Umm... yours too, Aaya?"
"Certainly, Shigure-nii." Aaya presented his can with a flourish and Shigure did the same to his.
"Ahh... both delicious! Come on, guys, try them!"
His two best friends took drinks. Suddenly, Hatori's head snapped foreward.
And he let out a very loud giggle.
Which, in fact, turned into a chorus of laughter, which became gut-wrenching guffaws, which had Ha'ri rolling on the ground, clutching his stomach.
Shigure snickered and turned to Aaya. His other best friend was lying on the ground.
"Aya?"
"Yes?"
"What are you doing?"
"I don't feel very energetic today. I just want to go home and sleep... my life sucks."
"That's not very like you, Aaya."
"Whatever. Why is Hatori acting so immature?"
Shigure panicked. He didn't think he'd get so freaked out, but them acting the way they were was downright scary!!!
It wasn't long before he ran away screaming.
When he was out of sight, the two straightened up again.
"That was fun!" Aaya chuckled.
"That's what he gets for trying to pull the wool over our eyes." Hatori commented.
Shigure had failed to notice that the return address on the envelope was Aaya's.
