One freaky weekend By T J Kelly Kell@nb.sympatico.ca This is a strange story! I based it on a classic Disney movie, starring Jody Foster, called "Freaky Friday". I hope everyone likes it. Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon (Alas mores the pity.), Disney, or Jody Foster. I hope everyone knows that. This is rated PG 13 for some…interesting situations. Now on with the story! Friday night... Serena bounded down the street on her way to the arcade. School went so great, not only did she not have to stay after but also she got an 85 on her math test. She smiled to her self. 'I guess studying does pay off'. She was so happy that she failed to notice someone walking down the street towards her. CRASH. "I'm so sorry. I should have watched where I was going." Darien chuckled. "Like that would ever happen, Meatball-head." Serena groaned, 'not him' she thought. "Why me? I knew my day was going too good. Fate was just setting me up to run into you." Darien helped her to her feet. "Don't blame fate for your being clumsy, Meatball-head." He laughed as she stuck her tongue at him. "Not even you can get me down today, Darien! I got an 85 on my math test. I can live for a week on that." With that she waved and continued on her way. Darien smiled. 'An 85 that's impressive for Serena'. He watched her bounce down the sidewalk. 'Maybe I should have told her I ran into her today? Nah!' He smiled. She was so full of energy, it was One of the many things he liked about her. "Enough daydreaming Chiba, back to the library!" Serena waved at Andrew as she entered the arcade. "Chocolate shake barkeep, and make it snappy." Serena giggled as Andrew starred at her. "What has made you so happy? Run into Darien?" Serena gave him a dirty look, "Yes but that is so not why I'm Happy...look an 85." Serena beamed. Andrew smiled. "Nice going. Here's your shake, ma'am!" He said in a western accent. "Don't drink it near the Sailor V game, last time it to and hour to clean the machine." "Sorry." Serena took her shake and sat in a booth. Lita came in and sat down with her. "Hey Girl! What's up?" Serena told her friend about her day and Lita gave her a high five. After finishing her shake, they went and played some games. Serena looked at her watch. "Aaaii. I'm late for supper. See you tomorrow Lita." Lita waved bye as her friend ran through the door right into Darien. "Hey Meatball-head." Serena groaned "Sorry, no time to fight, I'm late." She pushed past him and out the door. "Hey Andrew." Darien said sitting at the counter. "Hi Darien." Andrew smiled at his friend that was still looking at the door where a blonde had left a second ago. 'Man has he got it bad'. Andrew chuckled. Darien turned to look at his friend. "What?" Andrew just shook his head. In the back of the arcade Lita also saw the look Darien had on his face. A slow smile spread across her face. 'This could be interesting'. She got up and walked to the counter and sat beside Darien. "Hi Lita, Everything set for tomorrow?" Andrew asked. "Yup" "What's going on tomorrow?" Darien asked. Lita Smiled at him. We're having a surprise birthday party for Serena at Raye's temple." Darien looked confused. "I thought her birthday was next week?" Lita looked at Andrew, who smiled and said "It is, but this is the only way it will be a Surprise to her." Lita got up to leave. "It starts at 11:00am" She looked at Darien. "DON'T be late." With that she left. Darien looked at Andrew. "Was that an invitation?" "I think it was threat." Andrew laughed, 'so Lita guessed Darien liked Serena'. Darien suddenly stood Up. "I have to go shopping." He ran out of the cafe. Andrew nearly passed out from laughing. Darien shopped for three hours before he found the perfect gift. A white gold charm bracelet. He even bought three charms to go on it. A gold crescent moon, a gold rose, and a bunny with her birth stone for a stomach. He smiled to himself; she'll love it. He had it wrapped in pink paper with white bunnies on it. The tag read: To Bunny, with love, Darien! He smiled and set the present on his dresser. "Until tomorrow..." Darien had the best dreams all night. Saturday... Serena sighed and threw the covers over her head. She was having the best dream. She was walking in the park with Darien, they were holding hands. He looked into her eyes, "Serena..." he whispered. He leaned down till his nose was rubbing hers; his lips lightly brushed hers, as he was about to kiss her..."SERENA wake up!" Luna called for the 8th time. Serena groaned. 'Stupid cat'. "Luna its Saturday, let me sleep in." Luna hissed. "There is a meeting at Raye's. Now GET UP...FFFFTTTT!" Serena rolled her eyes at the claws Luna was threatening to use. 'As If' she thought. Slowly she climbed out of bed, letting her dream replay in her mind, she muttered Talk about 'as if'. Serena showered dressed and styled her hair in her trademark 'Meatballs'. She really didn't mind the nickname as much as she let on. 'I won't let him know that though.' After giving herself a look she grabbed her purse and ran out the door. Serena rounded the corner about a block from the temple and tripped on a loose piece of pavement. She landed on her butt. "Ouch!" "Hey Meatball-head, walk much" Serena groaned, Why did he have to be around when she spazed out. "Shut-up Darien." She stood up only to trip and fall right into Darien's arms. Dang he smelled good. Darien blushed, then he started to laugh. Serena punched him in the arm. "See if I catch you again." He smiled. "Here let me show you how it's done. left foot...right foot...left foot... right foot. Now you try it." Darien expected her to huff off and got a little worried when she smiled at him. "Fine! Let's see left foot...right foot...left foot...RIGHT FOOT... oops...sorry Darien guess I need more practice." Serena turned and marched toward Raye's as Darien hobbled after her. Serena came to the stairs at the temple, when she reached the top; the girls jumped from the bushes and yelled "Surprise". Serena screamed and lost her balance and fell back into Darien's arms...again! "Serena are you OK?" Ami asked. "Yeah, physically. But the mental scarring will take some time to heal. Would you let go of me?" Darien's mind had wandered when he caught her. Man she smelled great. Darien let her get up, but didn't let her go. When he say Lita looking at him he laughed. "Well Meatball-head that's twice in ten minutes I caught you." Serena pushed herself from his embrace. Her eyes sparkled with heat. "You wouldn't have if SOME people could say hi like normal, and why were you following me anyway?" Mina tapped her on the shoulder and pointed to where Andrew and Chad were holding a sign that read 'Happy Birthday Serena'. Serena's eyes grew big as she squealed with delight. She had the best friends. She looked at Darien. "You came to my party?" She hugged him. He hugged her back. "Yeah well, Lita asked so nicely." Lita blushed. Serena let him go was that a flash of disappointment that crossed his face. She turned from him to the others. "Where's the cake?" Everyone laughed. After the cake was gone, mostly thanks to Serena; they all sat on the grass to talk. Darien found that he enjoyed hanging with the whole group. It was fun to watch the fighting that Raye and Serena got into. Not meaning any of it. It reminded him of Sailor Moon and Mars, though they palled in comparison. He almost felt normal. His hand slipped to the small box in his pocket. He would wait to give it to her. Too many people were around; he wanted it to be private. Besides Lita was giving him enough strange looks. Then finally the dream ended and the party was over. Serena hugged her friends and told them how much she loved the party. As she went to leave Darien offered to walk her home. Surprised, she agreed. Silently they made their way through the city streets. Serena sighed. "Something wrong?" Darien asked. "No." Serena said smiling. She so beautiful, Darien gulped. Darien was so busy watching her that he for got to watch where he was going, and ran into a street light. "OW" Serena started to laugh. "What are you laughing at?" Darien said. Giggling Serena said, "Any other time that would be me and you would be calling me, Meatball-head." She helped him up. "Yeah well, you must be rubbing off on me." He scowled thinking how stupid that sounded. Serena looked at him, he kept muttering stupid over and over. She knew it was too good to be true. He thought she was stupid. She burst it to tears. "I'm sorry if I'm so stupid. Maybe I am, I thought you would be nice to me for once, but I guess I was wrong." Darien looked at her, what did I say, stupid...No that was about me. "Serena..." he took a step toward her. "No. I knew you couldn't possibly like someone like me. I'm not smart, or pretty, or eloquent. But I am strong and I've had enough of your teasing. Good-night Mr. Chiba." Darien stared at her, what just happened. She turned to leave. "You know, for one day I wish you knew what it was like to live my life." Serena turned and ran home. Darien stared after her. 'Open mouth...insert foot.' he thought. Holding her present, he headed home, swearing to make it up to her tomorrow. High in the sky, the moon cast an eerie green glow on the two sad creatures below. Then it turned white again. The wind picked up, and Serena wrapped her arms around herself. She could almost swear it said, "be careful what you wish for!" Sunday... Serena yawned. She loved Sundays. They were the only day she could sleep in, today it seamed she slept later than usual. "I wonder why Luna didn't wake me up?" Serena rolled over, eyes still closed she headed to the bathroom, she passed the mirror on the dresser. Suddenly she stopped, backed up, and looked in the mirror...Darien's face starred back at her. "AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" She passed out. Meanwhile on the other side of town... Darien smiled in his sleep, dreaming of Serena. His dream was cut short when a fur ball landed on his chest; he opened his eyes and saw the cat looking at him. Almost studying his face. The cat meowed, then growled, and jumped off his chest to the other side of the room. Darien rolled over and sighed. Suddenly he sat up, "I don't own a cat." He looked around the room, it wasn't HIS. As he turned his head, a long blonde ponytail caught his eye, he picked it up and starred at it. Finally he pulled it..."OUCH! What's going on?" He jumped out of the bed and ran to a mirror. Serena's face looked back at him. "AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The door burst open and Serena's mother burst through. "Honey are you all right." Darien's eyes opened wide, no sound came from his mouth. Worried Mrs. Tuskino went to her daughter. "Something's wrong, I can feel it." Darien starred blankly at her, then regaining some composure, Stated flatly "Nothing is wrong." He turned to look in the mirror again. How did he get in Serena's body? Serena's brother came to the door. "What's wrong with her now?" His mother looked at him "nothing go back downstairs." As he turned to leave, he hollered back "Probably got her period." Darien coughed and passed out. Luna glared from her corner. That was definitely NOT Serena! Serena/Db{Db=Darien's body} Woke up on the floor. Wow what a nightmare. She stood up. Looking in the mirror, she again saw Darien's body. It's not a dream. "How did I get in Darien's body?" She turned around, nice butt. "Bad Serena, Back on topic here. What am I going to do? Wait if I'm in Darien's body, Then he must be in mine." She ran to the phone and dialed her number...After two rings her mother picked up. "Hello?" "Hi Mo...Mrs. Tuskino is Serena there?" "Yes, but I don't think she wants to talk on the phone right now... can I take a message?" Serena swallowed, "Can you ask her if she will talk to Darien?" "One minute." After a few minutes, a girl's voice came on the line. "I got it Mom thanks." Did I really sound like that...Eww! "What the hell is going on?" "Darien calm down. You won't do any good getting angry. I can assume you're in MY body, and might I add, You better behave in there?" "Of course I'll behave. What happened? Why are we like this, and why does your cat hiss at me every tome I go to leave the room?" "I don't know what happened. As for my cat, she probably knows you're not me." Serena could hear Luna hissing in the background. She giggled. "Stop that. I don't giggle." "OK. I can't come to my house to figure this out, so why don't you come to your place. Bring a change of clothes. I'll dress My body and you can dress yours, besides I have to pee and I don't know how your body works. Stop laughing. Oh and bring my cat." Serena hung up. Darien looked at the receiver, then to the hissing cat. "Oh sure. Bring the cat." After fighting with the cat for ten minutes, he finally got it in the overnight bag. Feeling he would have fewer questions to answer, he climbed out the window and took of down the street to his apartment. Before he could ring the doorbell an arm shot out and dragged him inside. "Come on I can't hold this forever." When they came out of the bathroom, Serena/Db hung her head; "this is the most embarrassing day of my life." "Ditto, when this is over, hit your brother." "Where's my cat?" Darien/Sb yanked a hissing Luna from his bag. "Hey careful with her." Serena said. Luna stopped hissing and looked at Darien then back to Serena. Serena/Db went to Luna. "Help us Luna." Darien/Sb looked at her, "Meatball-head, why are you talking to your cat?" Serena looked at him. "Shut up Darien. For now YOU are meatball-head, not me." Luna gasped. "It is you in there." Darien/Sb started to freak out. "You cat is talking. How...what...when?" "Darien do be quiet so I can figure this out." Luna held her head. Looking at Serena/Db she said "you know we should call..." Serena/Db cut her off, "NO, just us nobody else can know." Darien/Sb spoke up, "I agree, it's too embarrassing." Luna looked at them both, "fine, Ok what has happened in the last 24 hours?" Serena/Db started "We went to my surprise party, ate cake, walked through the park, had a nice time, then Darien started insulting me..." "I Did not, I said that to my self, you thought it was about you." Serena/Db looked at him "Really?" Darien/Sb blushed "Really" Serena/Db smiled at him. "Ahem. You were saying." "Oh right, I thought he was being mean, I ran off crying, I looked at the green moon, and said 'I wished for one day he knew what it was like to be me, then..." Luna stopped her. "Green moon? (Serena nodded) That's your answer. If you wish on a green moon it comes true. (to Serena/Db) Especially for you." Darien/Sb was shaking his head. "This is totally weird. Body switching, wishes, talking cats. I don't think I can take much more...and how can you wear so much hair?" Serena/Db smiled at him, "Welcome to my life." Luna looked at them. "The good news is the spell will wear off by midnight, the bad news, you have to carry on like nothing happened. For today, You are what you wear." Serena/Db rolled her eyes. "Well, lets get dressed." After they were dressed, Serena/Db had Darien/Sb call home and tell her parents she was spending the day with some friends. Then they went to the cafe. They sat in a booth together, and Andrew gave them a funny look when he came over. "Hey guys, So Darien I guess..." Darien/Sb cut him off, "I'll have a coffee, and he'll have a chocolate shake." Serena/Db looked at him, "Make that two chocolate shakes." Andrew looked lost, but went to fill the order anyway. Darien/Sb glared at her; "I want a coffee." Serena/Db smiled, "Not as long as you're in MY body, meatball-head." Darien/Sb looked at her, "Fair enough. Do I always sound like that?" "Yeah, you do. I don't mind it too bad." They smiled at each other. Andrew set their order in front of them and walked away. Darien was smiling and Serena was frowning, I swear it's like they switched personalities, Andrew thought. The door opened and Raye, Ami, Lita and Mina came in. Serena/Db groaned. "Not now." Raye came over to the table and whispered in Darien's/Sb ear, "Meeting at the temple, don't for get." Serena/Db panicked, "No!" Everyone turned to look at her. "Not today, today Serena's spending the day with me, so you can gossip some other time." Serena/Db looked at the shocked expression on Raye's face and couldn't help sticking her tongue out at her. Raye gasped and narrowed her eyes. Something was not right here. She vowed to find out what was going on. She turned to the other girls, "I have to go back to the temple, meet up with you later." With that she ran out. Serena/Db slapped her forehead, now Raye will find out, I've doomed. "Hey careful with my head." "Sorry" The other girls left soon after. Serena and Darien sat in silence. Raye sat in front of the sacred fire. "Oh great fire show me what is happening to Serena." Raye fell backward as the flames roared and expanded twice their size. An image of Serena and Darien was molded into the flames, suddenly the images flipped so Darien's face was inside Serena and vice versa. Raye gasped. This couldn't be...they switched bodies. The flames roared once more then disappeared. Raye muttered "They couldn't have switched bodies, could they?" Luna cleared her throat. Raye jumped at the sound. "Luna you scared me. Is it true?" Luna nodded and filled Raye in. Darien and Serena went for a walk in the park. Darien/Sb looked at his former self. "Serena there is something I have to tell you, and today seams to be a good day to do it." Serena/Db looked at him, it was weird looking into her own face. "Yeah, go ahead." Darien/Sb swallowed, "I think you are the greatest girl I've ever met, I was wondering, wouldyouliketogoonadatesometime?" Serena/Db looked at him, did he just ask me out. Something like pure joy filled her entire being. "I would like that." Darien/Sb could hardly believe his ears. She said YES. "I'd kiss you but lets wait until we have our own bodies back, Ok?" Serena/Db smiled at him "Deal." Suddenly a crashing sound came from behind them. Serena/Db pulled Darien/Sb from the path of the raging monster. Four Senshi ran by them. Sailor Mars stopped and looked at Serena/Db "You and your friend better leave. We can handle this. Don't want innocent bystanders getting hurt. Right?" Serena/Db looked at Mars, somehow she knew. Smiling she answered, "Right, Thanks." As they turned to leave, Jupiter flew past them into a tree, landing unconscience. Serena and Darien muttered, "Damn." They turned to see the other senshi taking a terrible beating. Darien/Sb looked around, "Where is Sailor Moon." Serena/Db sighed 'where indeed.' Venus was backhanded by the monster and landed at their feet. Looking up she said, "Hurry, we need you." then she passed out. Serena/Db sighed guess her secret was coming out. She grabbed her backpack off Darien's shoulder and grabbed her broach. "Darien there's something you should know, that body is Sailor Moon. The scouts need her help, so your going to have to fill in for me." Darien/Sb starred at her then broke out laughing. "Ok as long as you fill in for Tuxedo Mask." Serena/Db looked at him and smiled, "I'll help you f you help me?" He nodded, and they went to help. Sailor Mars was the only one still standing when Serena and Darien arrived at the fight. Mars looked at them and said, "Serena, Darien get out of here." Serena/Db cut her off, "Shut up Mars. Now hold the locket and say 'Moon Crystal Power' Ok?" Darien/Sb nodded, "Think of a rose and form it in your hand." The other scouts were back on their feet and confused at what was going on. As the pair transformed, they gasped. Serena/Tuxedo mask formed a rose and threw it at the monster. It screamed in pain, and Jupiter yelled, "Now Sailor Moon." Darien/Sailor moon just stood there. Serena/Tuxedo Mask stood beside Darien/Sailor Moon and said, "With the moon wand, say, 'Moon healing activation." The Senshi's mouths fell open as Darien did as he was told. Serena stood behind him as the power flowed from his body. The monster reverted into human form and passed out. Darien started to faint and Serena caught him. He looked at her, "How do you handle this much power going through you all the time?" She smiled down at him, "You get use to it." The other Senshi gathered around as Mercury did a scan. Mars touched her shoulder, "They're Ok. They switched bodies last night." Darien/Sailor Moon gave her a puzzled look, "You knew. How...when?" Mars smiled, "At the cafe, but I wasn't sure until I did a fire reading, then Luna filled in the rest." He says to her then, "Raye! So that would make you, Ami, Lita, and Mina." Jupiter furrowed her brow, "Does anyone else know what the heck is going on?" As Serena and Darien filled the other three on what was going on, a greenish glow enveloped the moon. A flash of green surrounded Serena and Darien. Then it was gone. Serena looked down at her body. "It mine again. I'm Sailor Moon, WooHoo!" Darien smiled at her, "Looks good on you too. Honestly if I had to wear that skirt and those heels for any longer...How do you do it?" With that all the girls laughed. Serena smiled at him, "Welcome to my life." The others had detransformed and left the two of them alone. They walked along hand in hand. Darien pulled a box from her backpack. "Happy Birthday, Serena." Serena gasped, "Darien you didn't have to." "I wanted to. Open it." She opened it and squealed with delight. "It's beautiful. I love it." Tears welled in her eyes as Darien put it on her wrist. "I promise I won't be mean to you again, Serena." Serena smiled, laying her head on his shoulder she said, "and I promise not make any more wishes." "How about promises?" Serena looked in his eyes, "what promise?" Darien smiled, "You have your body back, I have mine..." He bumped her shoulder She laughed and said, "I think that can be arranged." He started to giggle with joy as she brought her hands around his neck. He pulled her close, and brushed his lips lightly across hers. Throwing caution to the wind he deepened the kiss, till his very being seam to melt into hers. When they came up for air she looked at him, "Do to giggle." He smiled, "Shut up and kiss me." As they kissed again the moon seamed to glow a little brighter. The End Email always welcome (Drool, Drool).
