Chapter One: What the eff?!

Ugh, I feel like I was hit by a freaking bus! What is that beeping? I open my eyes, and the beeping gets louder as I come to my senses. My room? I guess it was just a nightmare. Phew, I thought I was going crazy. I reach over and slam on my alarm's off button.

"Oh, freakin' finally! That was damn irritating!"

Huh, who was that? It sounded like Marie, but what is she doing in my room? I shake my head hoping to become a little more awake. Still, there she is, sitting in my neglected desk chair with her arms crossed. How did she get in here?

Marie continues to rant, "I would have shut the damn thing up myself, but I have no idea what that noise maker does."

"Marie-chan, why are you in my room?"

"Huh?," Marie looks around, "Well, if you want to get technical, this isn't exactly your room. You heard The Nose. You're on another plane of existence, or whatever. I'm here to make sure you don't freak out about the changes that were made."

"Changes?" I look around again. The first weird thing I catch is the trees outside my window are fully green. It's still April, right? I grab my phone and glance at the date, September 8th 2011 6:00am. "What?!" Did I go back in time, or something?

Marie sighs and rubs her temples. She must really hate explaining stuff, "This date seems to be about when your link started to go all weird and stuff. You're going to look at your relationship through a new perspective or something."

"I don't see what's so different," I shrug, "but I really can't be late today, so Marie-chan could you, uh, leave while I get dressed?"

"What? It's not like you don't have anything I've never seen before," Marie shrugs right back.

"Say what? Are you saying you've seen-?"

"No, you perv! Ugh! Just look at yourself!"

My mom's voice yells up from downstairs, "Yo-chan dear! Are you up? I don't want you to miss your trip!"

"Yo-chan?" She hasn't called me that since I was eight!

Marie grins as she points to the Yasogami girl's school uniform hanging on my closet door, "Changes, stupid. You can't be gay if you're a girl."

Girl? I look down. I've got boobies, holy shit! I flip off my blanket. I'm wearing panties and I'm missing, well you know. "No way!"

I leap out of bed and run straight for the bathroom. Oh man, it's weird, but I get to see a girl naked! That girl is me, and this is probably a dream, but I'm gonna make the most of it, damn straight.

Marie makes a disgusted sound, "You better not be touching yourself in there!"

"Oh shut up!" I glare at the door as I shout through it, "If you were a dude, you'd want to look at it too!"

"Disgusting." I bet she's shaking her head, "Whatever, I should warn you, that first off, you are the only one who can see or hear me here. I have to follow you, and we don't want to change the situation too much. Also, not too much else has changed. You need to be more aware of…"

Marie suddenly stops talking for a second, then I barely catch her saying, "People you have agreed to live with you, for one," Marie finishes in a quiet snicker.

Why is she laughing? Wait, people I have agreed to live with?

"Uh, uh, Yosuke-chan forgot to lock the door~" Teddie chirps as he throws the door open.

Ted.

Fuck.

I'm naked, and he's staring. You think I'd kick his ass, but I'm really not that smooth.

"Kyaa! Get the Hell out, you dumb bear! Did you just take a picture?! I never should have taught you how to use a phone!"

Finally I will myself to move. I snatch the phone out of Teddie's hands, push him out into the hall, slam the door shut, and lock the stinking door. I am erasing his entire photo library as soon as I get the chance. Until then, I'm holding onto this.

Besides this stuff, the rest of the morning was the same. Same breakfast, same annoying whining from Ted about wanting to come along. "I don't how, but you'll find a way. Don't worry", I think as I try to tune out his whining. The only difference other than the peeping was, as I ran out the door, Dad calling me 'Princess' as he tells me to pay attention on my trip. I cringe. I'm a girl, and Dad calls me 'Princess'.

I won't lie. Repeating the school trip is going to be weird. I better make sure I don't slip and call Naoto a 'she', though I bet flustering the "Detective Prince" by knowing her secret would be epic.

Will anything be super different? My brain comes to a screeching halt when I get hit by an idea. Holy shit. I'm a girl. That means I will be rooming with girls. Possibly rooming with Risette! Oh man, oh man, oh man! Their room might be like ours was with only one bed! This sucky school trip just got awesome.
