Disclaimer: I do not own High School Musical. I do not own the characters you recognize. My younger brother helped me with this part a little bit, so I owe him that much (yes, my three brothers seem to help me a lot in spite of everything else). I do own Pansie, Mushu, and the mystery girl in black whose name will be revealed towards the end of this ten chapter fic!

(A/N) Hi, readers! I am very sorry I waited so long to post this. Was very busy, busy, busy. So, I know this chapter was written differently, but I hope it doesn't confuse you. Just to clear things up a bit before you read. Do not skip over this…it is very important to the understanding of this chapter. Ok, for starters, the first part of the chapter switches back and forth between Zeke and Ryan's rooms. Hopefully you will understand it a bit better now. So, ask me any questions if I did not explain it properly or well enough for you to understand. R&R!

Chapter 6: Another Switch

That night, the guys were getting ready for their dates. Ryan was buttoning his pink dress shirt as he caught a glimpse of the large splotchy bruise on his stomach. Why hadn't he fought back? Because he knew Kelsi didn't like violence…and what Sharpay didn't know wouldn't hurt her.

Plus, he figured that Zeke and Sharpay belonged with each other. He continues to button his shirt. He had put on a pair of navy dress pants and was currently placing his pink hat on his head at just the right tilt. Even though his dad, on the occasion his dad would visit, preferred him to wear it properly.

Ryan was sure that Kelsi would be wearing a hat, as well. Which was another thing they had in common, they both loved hats. As Ryan walked over to his bed, he suddenly saw the room spin out of control and he passed out on the bed.

Meanwhile…

Zeke was lathering on cologne. He knew for a fact that Sharpay would be impressed. They had something in common after all. They loved the bottled liquid that made them smell fresh. Sharpay loved her perfume and Zeke loved his cologne. It was all too perfect. At lease, he hoped so.

Zeke took a deep breath. He tried to calm down. He'd heard that too much stress causes balding. And he did not want to start balding. Then, a little twinge in his stomach reminded him of his double date with his sister and Ryan. Another twang of guilt hit him.

He hadn't meant to hurt Ryan, especially after seeing how Ryan had just walked away. It took a real guy to be able to do that. Being that Ryan ad just done so, Zeke was glad that Kelsi was dating him. They'd be perfect together. Zeke checked himself to make sure his suite was on right. When he was sure it was, he headed towards his bed. When he reached it, he felt another twang of guilt in the pit of his stomach and collapsed on the bed.

Almost ten minutes later, both guys woke up. Ryan looked around and realized he was in Zeke's room. How had he gotten there? Zeke looked around, realizing he wasn't in his room anymore. He'd recently been watching a sci-fi movie that explained strange phenomena. And, so far, it had talked about this kind of situation.

Ryan noticed he wasn't wearing his hat and figured it had fallen under the bed. So, he bent down to look. Zeke decided to investigate the room, so he bent down to look under the bed. Ryan found a green kelp drink and Zeke found a moldy Sugar Graham.

The guys inspected their finds and asked themselves, "Is it supposed to be that shade of green?" They both tasted it. Immediately, they spit it out into the nearby trash can. "Ew." They both choked. They trashed their found objects and got up.

They walked over to the dressers to investigate. Feeling curious, they opened up the sock drawer. Zeke found sugar dumped everywhere and Ryan found dried fruit in plastic packets. "It's Christmas in Sockville!" Zeke screamed, slamming the drawer shut. He had not expected that.

"There's a fruit basket in the Sock Suite!" Ryan exclaimed, shutting the drawer as quickly as possible. Ryan knew Zeke was a health nut, but that was taking it way too far. Then again, he wasn't much better himself. At least he had proper reason.

Still feeling curious, the next drawer they opened was the underwear drawer. Zeke found a half eaten sandwich, while Ryan found half eaten granola bars. They both grimaced. "Oh, that's just wrong." They groaned, obviously grossed out.

Closing the drawer, they straightened and walked over to the mirror. They gasped immediately looking at their reflection. They both must have seen the same sci-fi movie because they knew what happened right away.

"We've switched bodies!" they whispered hoarsely. They examined their new appearances. "Wow," Zeke stated, "Ryan's balding." "Cool!" Ryan stated almost excitedly, "Zeke has a scar shaped like Florida behind his right ear!" They stopped suddenly, as realization sunk in. "Oh, my gosh!" the both exclaimed, "I'm on a date with my sister!"

Meanwhile…

Sharpay had knocked on Zeke's door what felt like a thousand times ten minutes before she'd left. There had been no answer and she'd figured he'd left, so why did she have to bother trying? She had noticed that Zeke was a health addict. She guessed he had to be in order to stay in shape for the basketball season. Still, he was the first guy she'd met who ate and lived healthy the way she did.

As she got to the Diner, she noticed Kelsi arriving at the same time. The moment they saw each other, they marched up to each other and blurted out, "Be nice to your brother for me!" Kelsi stopped and backtracked. "So, wait." She began, "You don't want me to dump Zeke?"

"No," Sharpay answered softly, "of course not." "What made you change your mind?" Kelsi questioned with a small smile. "Oh, enough about me. What about you?" Sharpay retorted to avoid the answer, "I thought you only liked my brother a little bit."

"Well…I…" Kelsi began. There was a pause before the two blurted out, "All right, I lied." They turned their backs to each other and continued talking in their own dream worlds. "Well, not exactly when I said it." Sharpay stated. "Same here. Only…"Kelsi added. The two sighed thoughtfully.

"Spending time with him I've realized…" they began, before turning to face each other, "You first…same time?" They took a deep breath and blurted, "We have so much in common!" "We like the same foods…" Kelsi started. "The same drinks…Sharpay added in agreement. "And most of all…" Kelsi continued. "He always…" Sharpay stressed the point. "…talks about me." They said dreamily, before adding sternly, "So, don't mess this up!" They walked inside just as the two guys arrived outside.

The second they saw each other, they walked up to each other and started their accusations about how this happened. "What did you do?" they both asked, "Me?" They both glared at each other for a second before continuing. "You're the one who…" they started before shaking their heads at a loss for words, "I've got nothing." "Listen." Ryan began, "I really like your sister." "And I really like yours." Zeke explained. They turned their backs to each other in thought.

"I've been waiting for this for…" Ryan began. "A really long time." Zeke continued in agreement, "Even though she rejected me…" "…and then asked me out." Ryan added, "And even though she hit me…" He grabbed his arms remembering the pain and Zeke grabbed his cheek remembering. "Ow." They both stated before finishing, "I can't stop thinking about her."

They both faced each other. "There's one last thing we need to cover." Zeke explained. "We'll just go in there and be like each other." Ryan clarified. "So, don't mess this up!" the two warned. They both walked inside, after noticing the girls had already arrived.
