FINALLY, I got my computer privileges back! =D If anyone's wondering, I was kinda grounded off the computer for failing science, but got it up to a C now. I did have the iPad, but I couldn't write stories or anything because well...the iPad can't do that. *^_^;
And in one of my classes, one of my friends tried guessing what the pie does after reading the in-progress comic. One of her guesses was it had a love potion in it, but the idea of Black*Star and Kid in love is creepy(in my opinion). Isn't there another fanfic like that where all the main boys fall in love with Maka? I honestly haven't told anyone that it was basically a Freaky Friday(or in this story's case, Thursday) concept, because I kinda want it to be a surprise for my friends, except a few I've confided in for ideas.
While writing this, I listened to "She's a Pony Remix" on YouTube. It's really cool and fun to listen to. Watch it when you get the chance, please! Gaaalllllllaaaaaaaaa...gaaalllllllaaaaaaaaa...x2 Care for a diamond? ^_^
So now I'm on, I decided to edit chapter 1 a tad bit, feeling the need to improve the dialogue. As of this chapter, I'm putting up a warning that you will not fuss over Crona's gender in my stories, as I personally think he's a boy. He just seems too boyish to be a girl, yet very feminine to be a boy. In my fanarts, he's usually portrayed as looking very feminine. The eyes have a somewhat girly shape to it(yet there's no noticable girly eyelashes), so if I ever showed you one of my drawings, you could go either way...
If anyone gets confused with the switch, I refer to them as who they truly are inside. So when referring to Kid, I'm also referring to Black*Star's body, and vice versa. But if I put in paratheses, it's just the physical body I'm referring to. So 'Black*Star' means Kid, and vice versa. Now my comic version of this has it's fifth page finished, ending where Black*Star came home and startled Tsubaki while she was watching "Titanic". Remember?
Like I said in the summary, there ARE two subplots. We'll be starting this fic with MAKKKAAAAAAAA! =D And now I'll stop rambling.
I don't own Soul Eater, the Flash, Caillou, or poptarts.
Maka gave a confused look as Soul studied her, concern filling his eyes. "Maka, I'm pretty sure you're sick."
"N-No I'm not, Soul! Quit telling me to stay, I'm not going to miss school!" She protested.
"It's not cool to spread your germs; besides, you don't look so good." Soul pointed out Maka's sickly pale skin, faint circles under her eyes, and her messy hair as her trademark pigtails started to become undone. Even the collar of her shirt was uneven enough to give Kid a seizure.
A slamming noise was heard, causing the apartment to shake a tiny bit, Crona awkwardly stepping out of his bedroom with Ragnarok pushing him forward. Crona walked up to the sick blonde. "Maka, are you okay?"
"Of course!" Maka smiled at the timid pinkette.
"She's sick." Soul rolled his eyes, a sweat drop falling down his head.
Again, Maka protested, "Don't listen to him, Crona!"
"Uhhh...Oh no, I-I don't know to deal with dilemmas..." Crona muttered.
"Please Soul, let's just go!" Maka pleaded, her green eyes sparkling and growing bigger while her mouth curled into an adorable pout, lips quivering a bit. The Albarn puppy-dog face never failed.
Soul gave in, sighing in defeat. "Okay, okay. You can go right ahead and make everyone in the DWMA sick for all I care."
"Well, let's get going then. See you later Crona." Maka said before releasing a cough from her throat.
Crona waved lightly, "B-Bye you two...Hope you feel better Maka."
"I'll be fine."
The door shut, leaving Crona, Ragnarok, and a sleeping Blair the only ones in the quiet apartment.
"Crona, get me a poptart; the chocolate kind, and make it snappy!" Ragnarok demanded.
He obeyed the loud demon sword, grabbing a pair of chocolate poptarts and putting them in the toaster. So much for quiet... Two minutes of the toaster humming as the poptarts heated up wasn't exactly quiet either. At least chocolately goodness awaits, right?
Kid kept running, going as fast as Black*Star's legs could carry him. Somehow he woke up as the blue-haired meister, which made him suffer a panic attack (kinda like the author's mom when she accidentally cut herself when carving pumpkins years ago as a preteen). Seriously, if you somehow woke up in someone else's body, wouldn't you be scared?
Of course, after recovering from the shock thanks to a supportive Tsubaki, Kid changed into Black*Star's trademark outfit (although he personally hated the metal part of the collar with a burning passion), and swiftly ran through the streets of Death City like he's the Flash, to Gallows Manor so he could find his body.
As for Tsubaki, who was very confused about what was going on, had watched her 'meister' run out the door. She tried to call him, but the efforts were futile. A note slowly floated to the ground, and she picked it up.
Dear Tsubaki,
I'm sorry for not telling you what's going on. I just realized I was late for a mandatory training session, it won't be too long or anything. You'll see me later in class; all right?
Oh, and could you perhaps put on the outfit I placed on your bed? And this hairstyle I drew on the bottom of the paper? Please, please?
Black*Star
Kid almost accidentally wrote his real name in the note, being so used to writing his own. He felt a little upset too about lying. Personally, he didn't want Tsubaki to know what happened. Even though she was very kind, she could never believe something that 'outrageous'. Not even Liz and Patti would believe him. Especially since he's Black*Star now, at first glance, people would think he's crazy.
Upon reaching a curve where you can't see someone coming the other way, Kid wasn't expecting to bump into someone. The two collided, Kid ended up falling down on his back against the concrete. "Ugh...Damn it, watch where you're going!" a very familiar voice shouted, followed by a dramatic gasp.
Kid slowly opened his eyes, but what he saw he just couldn't believe it.
That was him, his own body (who was wearing his trademark suit) pinning him down, eyes filled with terror.
"...B-Black*Star, is that...you?" Kid asked the person who took his identity.
"Kid, you're...?" he asked back.
The two criss-crossed meisters froze in shock, at least long enough for a random tumbleweed to roll past them. After that, Black*Star jumped up instantly from the ground, shrieking, "WHY THE HELL AM I YOU?"
"AND WHY AM I YOU?"
"HOW SHOULD I KNOW, IT'S PROBABLY YOUR FAULT! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE THE GREAT ME IF I'M NOT EVEN ME?" Black*Star grabbed Kid by the shoulders, and attempted to shake him about. Even though that's pretty much his own body he shook about.
Kid glared, "My fault? How is it my fault that I somehow made us end up in each other's bodies?"
"I don't freakin' know, you have-er, HAD those reaper powers!"
"Not even I could do something like that. Let's just try to calm down. We'll never find out why this happened to us if we panic."
Black*Star released Kid from his grip, as he took in a couple deep breaths. Kid now with the freedom to move, proceeded to dust off 'his' shirt.
So much for calming down, Black*Star snapped again when he noticed something about his body's appearance. "Hey, what's THAT on my shoulder?"
"Oh, this? I added another star tattoo to make you look symmetical."
Black*Star's eyes widened. "WHAT?"
"Don't worry, I just used a black marker, it'll come off..." Kid started to explain, "Now, the question is what happened to cause this switch. I felt this weird sensation last night that made me rather tired. Did you ever feel anything like that last night?"
"No, not at all."
"Weird...Well, I've felt like that since we were at Soul and Maka's. That means...THE PIE! It must've been some kind of magic that caused us to trade bodies!"
"Magic? You mean that was the cat Blair who made it? That's it, I'm giving that goddamn cat a piece of my mind! C'mon Kid!" Angrily, Black*Star started to run in the direction of Soul and Maka's apartment building.
Kid ran behind him trying to catch up. "Wait, STOP!"
Just in the nick of time, Black*Star managed to stop at the sound of his own voice, although the bottoms of Kid's shoes probably got burnt from braking. He was about a foot away from Soul and Maka (with now fixed pigtails), who looked back at him. A second later, a vein appeared over Maka's head. "Kid, you almost knocked us over! What's with the big rush?"
"Oh, sorry about that. 'Black*Star'," It felt really weird for Black*Star to be pointing to his own body that was about five feet away, "was teaching me this really awesome move! And you two happened to get in my way."
"What kind of move?" Soul asked.
"Oh no, I'm stuck now! C'mon, think of something!" "Uhhhh...it's where I umm...run quickly past the enemy, as if I missed, while I go further behind, and then BAM! I turn around and surprise attack!"
Soul raised an eyebrow, "That's pretty interesting. You don't seem to be yourself Kid. Somethin' bothering you?"
Black*Star grinned at his best friend, "Nope, I'm fine! Never been better. "
"Umm...alright then. Well, Maka and I will be going now, good luck Kid, and don't be late again Black*Star!"
"Bye you two." Maka coughed again while she walked off with Soul.
"That was terrible, you need to act like me if you want people to be less suspicious." Kid scolded once Maka and Soul were out of hearing range.
Black*Star narrowed his-er Kid's eyes while pouting like a spoiled child. "Hey, I did the best I could! And why should I act like you, I don't want to be a symmetry freak!"
"Well too bad, you're me. And I don't want to be you, so how do you think I feel?" Kid argued.
"Let's just tell everyone the fact we switched bodies so they can help us get back to normal! Besides, look at how much attention that'll recieve!"
"No one will believe us, we can't tell anyone!"
"What, you mean we can't even tell our partners?"
"I'm afraid not. Until we get the chance to see Blair, we'll have to go to school and act like each other. All right?"
Black*Star obviously isn't too pleased with the idea of keeping a lid about the whole switch between him and Kid. And while this paragraph bears a creepy resemblance to something you'd hear out of Caillou, it's the only thing the author could think of when writing this. "All right, I'll try to act like symmetry's my one true love and asymmetry, it's evil twin, is my worst enemy." he said in a rather bored voice, still not pleased.
"I'm counting on you not to mess things up, and don't be late Black*Star." Kid ran in the direction to the DWMA, where Tsubaki would be waiting.
Tsubaki sighed. "Was this really necessary?"
A handful of students seemed to be giggling at her, it's obviously because of the outfit 'Black*Star' wanted her to wear. And the hairstyle, her ponytail was now split into two tails together which somewhat resembled an insect's antennae. Her one fringe was also going completely straight down the bridge of her nose. Her outfit by far, was almost the same as her trademark one, but had another yellow star on the chest, the skirt had an extra slit on the other side, her sash only went around once, and had a stocking on her left leg to match her other one. Everything else was the same overall.
Tsubaki hated to say it, but this was ridiculous. She'd never say it out loud, especially to Black*Star, or she probably would never forgive herself. "Oh, there he is."
Tsubaki came running up to 'Black*Star', highly unaware of the fact that the soul of the symmetry obsessed grim reaper inhabited his body. "So, Black*Star, how was the training session?" she asked.
"It was alright, not much I could show you though. And you're looking very beautiful." said Kid.
"I don't know whether to be flattered or offended...Black*Star never called me beautiful before." Tsubaki thought to herself. "Umm...thanks."
"Well, shall we be off to class?" Kid asked.
Smiling warmly, Tsubaki replied, "Right."
At Class Crescent Moon, Liz, Patti (who was now dressed up as Soul), Soul, and Maka were waiting for class to begin. Maka didn't look like she was paying attention, quietly moaning, and Patti's cosplay was creeping Soul out. As for Liz, she seemed deep in thought.
Her 'meister' for some reason just ran off into the city after 10 awkward minutes of being in his bedroom. She did hear him scream at the top of his lungs and tried to run to his room to help until the screaming stopped. Believing that he was okay, she went back down for breakfast. Then when he ran at a unnaturally fast speed, Liz could barely do anything to stop him. Patti wasn't too concerned, finding the whole thing funny and was a bit occupied with dressing up as everyone.
Then Kid and Tsubaki arrived into the room, the latter sitting next to Maka, while Kid was on the other side of the ponytailed weapon. "Act like Black*Star if you want no suspicion. What to do...?"
He remembered the way Black*Star had a habit of sitting differently, putting his feet on the desk, and sitting back, with hands behind his head. "This is actually quite comfortable. I can see why Black*Star sits like this."
Liz looked towards Tsubaki, "Hey, what's with the hair?"
"Oh, Black*Star really wanted me to look like this today," Tsubaki leaned to whisper, "I'm not really liking this though."
Liz whispered back, "That looks ridiculous anyways, but I noticed it looks very symmetrical."
Tsubaki blinked, "Really?"
"Yeah, it seems like something Kid would do. He frequently fusses to me and Patti about looking symmetrical, even about the hairs on our eyebrows. Trust me, I'm used to it."
"Wow, Kid's personality must be rubbing off on Black*Star." Tsubaki thought while nodding to Liz. Her attention then moved to Maka.
Maka still looked awful from the first scene of this chapter, and her previously fixed pigtails were becoming undone again. Tsubaki couldn't help but feel her kindhearted instincts kick into high gear seeing her ill state. "Maka, is everything alright?"
"I honestly don't know. Cough cough, Soul and I saw Kid earlier and he's been acting really different. He says there's nothing's wrong but I don't believe him. Not even his choice of words seem right."
Kid couldn't help but grimace, overhearing Maka's words. Suspicion...
"Umm...that's not really what I meant Maka." Tsubaki replied, as a sweat drop appeared.
"What, you think I'm sick too? Soul and even Crona have been bugging me about this too. I'm not missing a day of school just because I'm feeling a little bad. Don't worry about me." Maka sniffled.
"Maka sure is stubborn today, isn't she? Maybe Black*Star's personality starting to rub off on her." Tsubaki thought.
Because the author's getting lazy now, we now skip 10 minutes after class started.
Kid couldn't listen to Stein's lecture, the fact Black*Star was late, was really starting to get to him. "Damn it, where is he? I thought he'd try to be punctual, or at least eight minutes late. Why couldn't it be eight? WHY?"
Suddenly the doors burst open, revealing 'Kid'. Proudly grinning while he marched into the room. "Hey, sorry for the wait everyone! Death the Kid has arrived!"
Kid's jaw dropped, "This is the worst possible thing that could happen, my collar's not symmetrical now! Black*Star, damn you!"
"Hahahahaha! Kid's acting funny!" Patti laughed.
"He's lost his marbles!" Liz stated.
"What the hell's going on with him?" Soul muttered.
"What Maka said was true..." Tsubaki's eyes went wide.
Maka looked up, "Huh?" All of a sudden, she felt something gross coming up her throat, it was filling her mouth.
She had to let it out. She HAD to.
BLEEAAAAHHH!
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Oh my...!"
"Whoooaaa..."
"EEEWWW, MAKA!"
"Ugghh..."
"GROSS!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
I wanted to do a real good job on this, but I'm not so sure. Again, this IS third person, not my strong point... Sooo, happy daylight saving time you guys!
If anyone's wondering, there might be possible hints towards Kid/Tsubaki(Kibaki). I'm not really into any crack pairings(Crona/Patti is an exception though), or pairings involving Tsubaki that isn't TsuStar. But for you Kibaki fans, I guess it's sort of a fic you'd like. Although I'm partly tempted to adding a scene where Liz confronts Black*Star in Kid's body. And she'd say something like, "This isn't the Kid I know and love!", which would hint towards a crush. Sorry, my liking for Kid/Liz tempts me. X/3
I also have to ask something to the readers, why won't any of you review? I've only gotten one review(Thank you very much thecartoongirl22!), but tons more alerts/favs. I need motivation, and I like hearing your opinions, and maybe we could get in engaging conversations through replies. It would make me really happy if any of you could review for me. C'mon, pweaze? Pweaze?
So, I'll say it again. Pweaze, pweaze review? Will I have to get Maka to come to your houses so she'll do the Albarn puppy dog face in front of you? It's better than getting a Maka Chop, right?
