Inspiration for this fic? Well, at the second day of school, I doodled Black*Star and Kid acting like each other. For a while, I thought, since they're practically opposites, it'd be Soul Eater comedy gold. There's too many Soul and Maka switching fics(There's at least three on this site), so why not something different?
A friend of mine helped develop some things, such as the pie. We would talk about it in our Special Education class. Actually, I've started drawing a comic for this story, and it's becoming a bit of a hit(But some people keep thinking Black*Star's a girl, must be a curse from having females voice him. Same issue with Crona). I've only reached the "Duh!" part though.
Also this is my first "Soul Eater" fic, so it might not be the best thing in the world. And it will be in third person, I'm not good at third person writing, first person's my strong point. If anyone's wondering, in my stories, which usually take place after the anime, Crona and Ragnarok live with Maka, Soul, and Blair.
I don't own Soul Eater. If I did, Crona would still be with the main characters in the manga, the characters' outfits wouldn't change(I love their original outfits too much, but Liz and Patti's new outfits are cool too, Justin can keep his), my favorite pairings would be canon, and I'd add my stories(including this one) into the series. I also don't own James Cameron's Titanic, Spaghetti-Os, or Home Alone.
A nice sunny afternoon it was this Wednesday. The middle of the week wasn't really anything special besides this specific story filled with humor. It all starts inside a kitchen. The oven opened up, Blair (in human form) removing a pumpkin pie from inside. As she set the pie on the counter, she wafted the scent towards her nose.
"Meow~! This is gonna be GREAT, I can just tell!" Blair exclaimed.
She proceeded to make a cute little icing drawing of a pumpkin in the very center of the pie as a decoration. While she did, Maka and her partner, Soul, walked in. "Sooo, that's for Crona and Ragnarok?" Soul asked.
"You betcha, Soul~!" Blair winked, a sneaky expression plastered on her face.
"Umm...why Blair?" Maka asked, confused about the whole thing.
"Weeelllll, Ragnarok will probably be less mean to Crona after it's over."
"W-What do you mean by that?"
"I really don't know. But don't worry about it, Maka," Soul put his hand on her shoulder for comfort. "I'm sure Crona will be okay."
Maka's cheeks started growing rosy, "Y-You're right..."
"Okay then, let's go find Crona and Ragnarok~!" Blair darted towards the door, as Maka and Soul apparently followed suit.
"We're going with her?"
It wasn't until a few minutes later that Death the Kid and Black*Star walked into the empty apartment. "Hey Soul, Maka?...Where the hell are they?" Black*Star killed the silence, hands on his hips.
Kid looked towards his friend with a blank face, "They don't seem to be here. Maybe we should come back tomorrow."
As Kid attempted to head out the door, Black*Star swiftly grabbed him by the shoulder. "We just got here Kid, and you're gonna leave? You should help me find the new Charisma Justice comic Soul has!"
"Sigh...Fine..."
Suddenly, the scent of pumpkin went up Black*Star and Kid's nostrils. Instantly Black*Star started to drool a little bit while following the aroma. It led them to Blair's pumpkin pie sitting on the counter, the steamy heat rising. It seemed to be enough for Black*Star's green eyes to sparkle, drool still seeping out of his mouth. "Hey Kid, does-!"
"Wait," Instantly, Kid grabbed the pie plate, moving it towards the exact middle of the counter. "There, absolutely perfect."
"Anywayyy, doesn't that pie look delicious?"
"We don't know the answer until we actually taste it Black*Star," Now was Kid's turn for his golden eyes to sparkle, "But who cares, it's perfectly symmetrical."
"Well, then, I'm diggin' in!" Black*Star exclaimed, knife in hand.
"What, NOOOO!"
It was too late, Black*Star had already cut a slice of the pie, and horribly cut as well.
"Damn it! You ruined the pie's symmetry!" Kid pointed dramatically at the blue haired meister.
Black*Star rolled his eyes, dropping the knife. "Yeesh, Kid. Stop being such a freak and have a slice or two."
Kid glared, but gave a sigh in vexation and grabbed the knife, cutting the rest of the pie into four equal pieces. "I'm only eating this to help dispose of it. Since you ruined the perfection, it's not worth keeping around."
Black*Star grabbed a slice and took a rather large bite out of it, Kid looking towards him in disgust.
After swallowing his slice, Black*Star somehow sprouted angel wings and a halo over his head (SEE? A halo IS shining down on him), because it was just that delicious. "YAHOO! This is heeeaaavennn~!"
"This is pretty good actually," Kid commented after swallowing a bite of his slice.
"Duh!" Black*Star's wings and halo disappeared, he grabbed a second slice in his hand. "Y'know, if Soul and Maka ever come back, I should really ask for the recipe so Tsubaki can make some for me!"
It was after that one sentence, a fantasy played in Black*Star's head.
The beautiful Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, wearing an apron over her outfit and oven mitts turned around, holding a plate of pumpkin pie as noticable steam flowed from it.
"Black*Star, I made this pie just for you! I really hope you enjoy it..."
"Oh yeah! Tsubaki, you're the best partner in the world!"
"Heh heh, that's so sweet of you to say..." Tsubaki's face was noticeably getting closer, and-are her lips starting to pucker?
"Black*Star, Tsubaki isn't your own personal slave, you need to grow up and make your own snacks."
Annoyed, Black*Star started poking the young reaper in the chest. "Maybe YOU need to grow a little! Liz and Patti are much taller than you."
Oh the irony...
"You should talk, I'm actually taller than you."
"Kid, this is the great me we're talking about! You should know I'm bigger than everyone!" Black*Star gloated, finishing off his second slice of pie.
"Ugh..." Kid facepalmed himself, with both hands for symmetry. "Why can't he just be normal?"
He hated how arrogant and obnoxious Black*Star was, obviously. No one did like that, especially Maka. Although Kid was normally very calm, there were those times when he and the ninja assassin got at each other's throats, like at the gala, the night the Kishin Asura was revived.
"Well, I'll let you finish! I'm gonna go find the Charisma Justice comic." Black*Star walked off to Soul's room.
Kid continued eating the last slice of pie with his fork. For some reason, he felt something was wrong. There seemed to be this weird tingling feeling in his chest, it didn't hurt or anything but it wasn't something that could be ignored. He proceeded to put his hand over his heart. "I'll probably tell Liz and Patti about this later."
"Ha ha! Found it!" Black*Star emerged out of Soul's room, the Charisma Justice comic he wanted so badly now held in his hands, he looked at the cover giddily. "Finally I'll know what happens to Charisma Justice!"
As for Kid, he threw the empty pie plate in the garbage and cleaned up all the crumbs on the counter.
And so they left, not knowing of what trouble they've gotten themselves into.
Tsubaki, on the couch with a tissue box by her side, was watching her favorite movie Titanic. Such a beautiful movie. No matter how many times she's seen it, it always made her sob, all those people dying, the unsinkable being sunk, and Rose losing her beloved Jack. She watched in sadness as the grand staircase's ceiling broke open, screams of agony filled her ears.
Until Black*Star made a dramatic entrance in his own home, shouting with a loud "TSUBAKI I'M HOME!"
Tsubaki jumped a bit in surprise, her attention no longer focused on the TV. "Oh uhh, you're back already Black*Star?"
"Yeah, I got the Charisma Justice comic from Soul and Maka's!"
"Well, do you want something to eat?"
"I just had a pie but okay!"
"Wait, you ate pie? Did Soul and Maka let you?" Tsubaki asked.
"Nope, they weren't home. But c'mon, it was right there on the counter, and it was delicious!"
Tsubaki quietly moaned to herself. "Oh...this shouldn't be good for Black*Star...What if it was Soul and Maka's dinner dessert? I probably won't be able to hear the end of it from Maka especially." But she calmly went to the kitchen and started warming up some Spaghetti-Os for dinner (even though Tsubaki isn't the type of person to make Spaghetti-Os as dinner. Something more gourmet or Japanese would make more sense, but the author happens to really like Spaghetti-Os and barely knows about the Japanese culture).
Of course the TV still showed Titanic and Black*Star sat down to watch, throwing the flowery tissue box to the side. Luckily he was late to see Nude!Rose, or a nose bleed would've been possible.
Kid usually didn't use his skateboard Beelzebub for short trips in Death City, but somehow he felt tired from all the walking. He had to make an exception, riding Beelzebub to Gallows Manor where Liz and Patti were waiting.
At dinner time, the threesome were having grilled cheese sandwiches with milk. For some really weird reason Patti was dressed up as her sister Liz. Wearing a light brown/dark blonde wig matching Liz's hairstyle perfectly, matching jeans, and two bracelets on each wrist. Her hat's stitching went the other way, but the shirt and shoes had no change.
"Hey Sis, don't you think we look identical?" Patti asked Liz.
"Umm...yeah, why are you dressing up like that anyway?"
Patti grinned, her shoulders rising in the process, "I just want to!"
"Your human forms look more symmetrical than I've ever seen!" Kid pointed out. "But it could use some work. Like your faces, height, and boobs! They're still not perfect!"
Liz almost slammed her hand into the table in anger at that statement, "You're STILL not over that? Just be glad that Patti at least tried! Even if it IS creepy."
Patti simply giggled to herself, acting unaware of the conversation.
All of a sudden, Kid rose from his chair. "Umm...Liz, Patti, I'm going to bed early. I feel...really tired."
"Is something wrong?"
"I honestly don't know Liz. Something just doesn't feel quite right. Patti, could you perhaps finish my last grilled cheese sandwich?" Kid stated before walking to his room.
"OKAY!" Patti responded happily, grabbing Kid's plate and gobbling up the leftovers.
It wasn't long before Blair, Maka, and Soul came back with Crona. "Now I worked really hard on it and-! What the-? The pie-it's gone!" Blair shrieked.
"GONE?"
"Not cool, I wasted about half an hour for some pie Crona and Ragnarok MUST have."
The demon sword Ragnarok popped out of Crona's back, angry upon hearing Blair's words. "What do you mean gone? I'm HUNGRY godammit, and you bring me and Crona all the way back here for nothing! You're wasting our energy!"
Crona couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Yeah, I'm hungry too..."
It was then that the faint smell of pumpkin went up Blair's nose, "Meow~! I think I know where it is! It's...in the garbage, and empty." She held the empty pie plate for everyone to see.
"THERE'S NOT EVEN A CRUMB!" Ragnarok screeched.
"So...someone must've eaten it. But who?" Maka stated.
"Well, we've run out of ingredients to make another, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow I guess. I'll have to go shopping later..." Blair explained, a slight look of defeat noticeable in her expression.
"Damn it!" Ragnarok whined.
Sunlight slowly poured through the windows, Thursday morning arrived in Death City. Although for two meisters, they're in for a big surprise this particular morning. (Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who put Soul on narration duty?)
"Ugghhh..." Kid slowly awakened to the smell of pancakes and maple syrup. "Pancakes? Are the girls making breakfast this early?"
The weird feeling in his chest from yesterday seemed to be gone. Still, everything didn't seem right, even the room was rather unfamiliar to him.
"Black*Star, you up?" a girl's voice asked from another room.
"What the? Isn't that Tsubaki? Black*Star?"
Kid looked around the room in an attempt to find Black*Star. He had to be here too, right? For some reason, Black*Star didn't seem to be found. There WAS an extra bed. "How did I get here in the first place?"
Wait a minute.
The voice that had escaped Kid's mouth wasn't his, at all. It was rather high and obnoxious sounding, in contrast to his more deeper sophisticated voice. "What's going on?"
In the corner of his eye, there was a tall mirror, leaning against the wall. He rushed up to it, jaw dropping instantly.
This couldn't be-! His hair was teal colored, and shaped somewhat like a star. It was rather messy considering he just woke up. Kid also noticed he was dressed in an oversized red T-shirt that was wrinkled, along with a pair of dark gray boxers. These weren't his footy pajamas he slept in. And he noticed on one of his shoulders, a star tattoo. That was Black*Star's reflection he was staring back at.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH! HOW COULD SOMETHING AS HORRIBLE AS THIS HAPPEN TO ME?"
That was enough to fully wake up the sun in the sky, its eyes widening in surprise.
Black*Star didn't want to wake up, his bed seemed more comfy than usual, and proceeded to cover himself up in the warm thick blankets even more. "Hey Kid, wake up!" a girl's voice yelled.
Black*Star yawned, "N-not now Tsubaki..."
This time, the girl tried to push Black*Star awake. "C'mon Kid, we have to get ready for school!"
"No!" "What's up with Tsubaki today? Is she on that curse thing girls have every month?"
"Ugh!" she moaned, giving up.
Under the blanket, Black*Star could hear her footsteps grow fainter and fainter, until finally he knew she went to another room. "Yes, now to sleep in!" He thought, feeling victorious.
Nothing would get in the way of stopping him from sleeping in. Absolutely nothing.
All of a sudden, Black*Star felt a pulling by the feet, the next thing he knew, his body was quickly pulled out of bed and fallen on the floor. Groggily, he opened his eyes, to see that instead of his partner Tsubaki, Liz and Patti Thompson looked down at him, both holding one of his legs. Patti (who was dressed up as Maka for some reason) just laughed hysterically while she held his right leg.
"What the hell was that for?"
Patti was still laughing, Liz just put her usable hand on one of her hips, staring down at Black*Star. "Well, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. You've never been this stubborn. Now go get ready for school. There's no time for this."
Liz let go of his leg and walked out of the room, Patti following her while she giggled.
"Okay, why are they even here?" Black*Star asked himself before he noticed the room. This wasn't where he fell asleep last night."Where am I anyway? Is this...Kid's room?"
He'd never been in Kid's room before, but judging by the symmetry of everything but the blanket, it sure screamed 'Death the Kid' and 'Symmetry'.
Even if this place wasn't familiar, Black*Star had to get dressed into clothes, what was he wearing though? He looked down at his torso to see he was wearing totally different pajamas. They were black footies with white skulls all over yet they were all in a symmetrical fashion. Footy pajamas? Seriously, those are for babies!-Wait a minute!"
Black*Star flinched as he noticed that his hands were a much more pale color. "What happened to me? Am I...?"
He looked up and gasped loudly at one of the two mirrors in the room.
That's not his reflection. Black*Star noticed the jet black hair with three white stripes going halfway across his head, and those same footy pajamas. This was Death the Kid he was staring back at. "This can't be-! T-This is all a dream! It has to be!"
He automatically slapped himself hard in the face. "C'mon now Black*Star, wake up so I can be the great me again!"
Unfortunately, as the pain went away, the reflection was still of Kid. This was no dream. Horrified, Black*Star automatically did the notorious "Home Alone" pose, "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Looks like Black*Star and Kid got their surprise, and that's one of the reasons why we shouldn't eat something we don't know what's in it. It could even be poison. Aw well...this is entertaining for us anyways. So the characters will now be asking questions with what will happen next(they only know as much as their roles in the story, so the others don't know about the switch).
Maka: Will I have a bigger role in this story?
Me: Well, let's just say since your soul perception might spoil things for you, you'll be part of a subplot. It won't be very fun for you though...
Crona: Why does Blair want me and Ragnarok to eat that pie?
Me: I'm not telling you. You'll have to find out yourself. I highly doubt Blair would tell you anyway.
Liz: Why does Kid have footy pajamas?
Me: Footy pajamas are awesome! I'm a fellow teenager and I still wear them, even during the entire day. Besides, can't you imagine Kid weari-OH MY GOSH! I SPILLED MOUNTAIN DEW ON MY KEYBOARD!(it's a true story)
Tsubaki: Why did Black*Star scream?
Me: Not telling~!
Patti: Do you have any wigs, or contacts?
Me: Nope sorry, Patti.
Soul: Are you a Soka fan or something?
Me: YES! That's why I put your hand on Maka's shoulder(you would've done something like that anyway) and it's also why she blushed. X3
Black*Star: Why the hell am I Kid, of all people?
Me: Because it's hilarious, and YOU ate something you weren't supposed to. ^_^
Kid: Do you have a marker?
Me: Sure I do! *hands Kid a black marker*(He seems calm after screaming at the top of his-er, Black*Star's lungs.)
Ragnarok: WILL I EVER GET ANY PIE?
Me: We'll see.
Well, no more questions then. Have a happy early Halloween! Review...Please?
