New, and probably the longest I've written, three-shot. This is courtesy of the winner of the mini-quiz I did a few chapters ago in 'Seduction of a Geek'. The question was where did Ryder's nickname for Tori (Creampuff) come from, and the answer was the web series 'Carmilla'. Their prize was giving me a prompt for a one to three-shot, and this is what they came up with. I liked the idea, we chatted and added more to it, and now, here we are.

This is sci-fi, and if you somehow manage to keep up with all the swapping, congrats. I got mixed up multiple times while writing this.

Anyway, this is Jori with possible Puckentine. Tori and Jade have been dating for almost a year at this point, Beck and Jade broke up a year and a half ago, and Beck has a new girlfriend (not Trina) who does something no guy likes having done to them. (I flinched just reading it in during the idea process)

Thanks to the anonymous reviewer who got it right, and for helping me flesh out the idea. Hope you like it.

No POV

"Why are we here, Shapiro?" Jade asks as she, Tori, Cat, Andre, Beck, Trina, Robbie, and the annoying puppet Rex stand in the school's basement, an abandoned part no one but Robbie and Rex knew existed.

"Because I'm tired of everyone making fun of me, saying I'm essentially worthless. So, I made a machine that will allow us to switch minds with one another." Robbie says, Rex sitting on a chair by a large fabric covered item. A short moment later, as the others say they don't see him as useless, Jade noticeably silent, Robbie grabs the white fabric and pulls, revealing his machine.

Though nothing special, it still makes the group stop and stare. On each side is a chair, both looking like the old ones Principal Helen threw out when she took over for Eikner two years ago. Between them stands a machine, roughly five foot tall, four feet wide, with a few buttons and wires attaching two hat-like apparatuses, which Jade notes look like what inmates on death row put on when in the electric chair, to two hose-like items keeping the hats from simply hanging against the chairs.

"What the hell is this?" Trina asks, staring at the machine and Robbie, scoffing at the idea of it switching her mind with someone else's.

"My mind switching machine. Two of us sit in each chair, and when I turn it on, our minds swap to the other." Robbie says, confident his machine will work.

"And, how do you know this works?" Beck asks, staring at his nerdy friend, an eyebrow raised at the idea of switching bodies with any of his friends.

"I tested it with those two girls from Karaoke Dokie. The ones who thought they were better singers that Cat and Jade." Robbie says, not remembering their names. "It worked. The only real downside I noticed is that it doesn't just swap their minds and personalities. It also swaps voices, so say I switch with Beck, his voice will come out of my mouth, and my voice will come out of his mouth." He explains, going to the back of the machine and typing on the built in computer he added, starting it up.

"And how would we get back to our own bodies? Is it temporary?" Andre asks, not-so-secretly intrigued by the idea.

"All we need to do is run the program again. It swaps the minds, so it's easy to get everyone back to where they belong." Robbie says, walking back in front of the machine, smiling. "So, who wants to go first?" He asks, looking around.

"Screw it. I'll give it a shot." Beck says, walking over to the chair on the left, recognizing them as the two chairs that used to sit in front of the principal's desk, recognizing them only from the times he had to pick Jade up when they were dating after she would cause someone injury and Eikner called her in. "Who wants to be me?" He asks, making himself comfortable.

"I will." Robbie says, moving to attach the hat-thing to Beck's head, strapping it in with a leather strap, before moving to the other chair and pulling the hat on, strapping himself in. "Andre, can you start it for me? It's ready to go, you just need to press these two buttons, then the one in the center with the lights above the buttons light up." He explains, pointing to the buttons, the ones for the chairs white while the one for the machine to work itself is red and in the center of the machine.

"Sure." Andre says, walking over and pushing Robbie's button first.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Tori asks her best friend, chuckling at his excited walk.

"Duh." Andre says over his shoulder, pressing Beck's button. A moment later, both lights turning on (Robbie later explains they only light up when both minds are connected, he never explains how that works), Andre presses the center button and backs up, expecting sparks or something exciting to happen as the minds switch bodies, disappointed when the only thing that happens as Robbie and Beck seem to pass out momentarily. "You two alive?" He asks when the machine stops and the lights shut off.

"Yeah. Feel like I got cotton mouth now though." Beck's voice, from Robbie's body, says as 'Beck' straightens up. "Did you guys move or something?" He asks, looking around the room, seeing his body starting to wake up as well.

"Ah, my head hurts." Robbie's voice says, Beck's hand reaching up to undo the straps. "Ha! It works! I told you it would." He says, standing up and undoing the strap around 'Beck's head.

"What the hell?" Jade asks, staring at Robbie and Beck. "Oh, nice try, Shapiro. You taught Beck how to throw his voice and you two planned this." She accuses, pointing at Robbie's body.

"Uh, no, we didn't." Beck says, Robbie's face not matching the voice everyone has known for years. "No offense Rob, but I half expected nothing to happen." He says, looking at his body, shaking his head. "I feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience." He says, watching as Robbie heads over to a mirror no one noticed and flexes.

"I have muscles now, Jade, don't I?" Robbie asks, referring to the ping-pong scam years ago that Tori got a part of, remembering when Jade told him 'You can't pull what you don't have'.

"This has to be a joke." Jade says, looking at the others.

"Ooh, my turn." Cat says, surprising everyone by grabbing 'Robbie' and dragging him back to the chairs and strapping him in before heading to the other chair. "Beam me up." She says, giggling as she straps the hat on, bouncing in the comfortable seat.

"Push my button, Andre." Cat says, unaware of the sexual innuendo she said, after she and 'Robbie' are strapped in and ready to be swapped.

"Oh, I'm sure he'd love to." Jade says, smirking as Andre presses the button to Cat's chair followed by the one for Robbie's body. "I'm sure he'd love to press your button all day, Kitty Cat." She says when Andre presses the final button. Like before, the two heads seem to drop to their chests, only for them to raise after the lights go off. "Well?" She asks, knowing that as talented as Cat is at acting, she can't lie to save her life.

"Phooey, I wanted to be Beck." Cat says from Robbie's body, looking down to see the lanky teen instead of the buff one.

"Well, you swapped with me at least." Beck says from Cat's body, making Jade double over in laughter.

"Oh, my Goddess. You look so fucking funny right now." Jade gasps out, barely standing as 'Cat' and 'Robbie' undo the straps and stand up. "Oh, I love this." She says, wiping tears from her eyes.

"It actually works." Tori says, staring at the three teens, their minds mixed together. "How? Why did you decide to make this?" She asks, looking at Robbie.

"It's too long to explain, and it's like I said. I was tired of you guys making fun of me, so I made this so we can all see what the other experiences." Robbie's voice, still from Beck's body, answers as he stares at everyone.

"I miss my red hair." Cat says with a pout on Beck's face, making Jade laugh again.

"Anyone else want to switch?" Beck asks from Cat's body, feeling weird.

"Tori's turn." Cat says, dragging a confused Tori to the chair and pushing her down, Jade too amused to help her girlfriend. "Andre, push our buttons." She demands, the demand sounding weird from Robbie's body.

"Yeah, I ain't pushing Tori's button. That's Jade's job." Andre says, backing up.

"Good call." Jade says, walking over to the machine. "Oh, I'm loving this." She says, pushing Tori's, then Cat's/Robbie's, buttons and waiting a moment. "This is for saying I'm whipped." She whispers to Tori before pushing the middle button, smirking.

"How'd it go?" Trina asks, finally speaking up, as she stares at her sister.

"Ooh yay, I'm Tori!" Cat says, standing up after undoing the strap around Tori's chin. "This is gonna be so much fun." She says, running over to the mirror.

"I don't think this is such a good idea." Andre says, watching as Cat inspects her new body. "Shouldn't someone switch with her before Cat does, something?" He asks, looking around.

"Later. I'm curious." Jade says, walking over to Robbie's body. "Having fun yet?" She asks with a smirk as Tori undoes the strap and stands up.

"Yeah, I am." Tori says, Robbie's face smirking. "Let's see how everyone reacts when they find out Jade is dating Robbie." She says, about to leave when Jade grabs his arm.

"Try it. I dare you." Jade says menacingly, expecting fear in Robbie's eyes from years of experience.

"Too bad. This is for threatening to get a tattoo on my ass saying 'Jade's. Don't touch.'" Tori says, pulling away from Jade.

"I was kidding." Jade says, staring at 'Tori'.

"Okay, Cat. Stop playing with Tori." Andre says, snapping the arguing couple out and making everyone look at him.

"But I think Tori's boobs are bigger and I want to see." Cat whines, about to take Tori's shirt off.

Before anyone does anything to stop her, Cat turns around to check out Tori's butt, accidentally hitting her head on a low hanging pipe. When she turns back to the mirror, she automatically thinks she's Tori because it's Tori's body she sees, not hers, in the mirror.

"Andre, please switch with her?" Tori says, the Vega pout and whine seeing odd when coming from Robbie's face, but just as effective.

"Got ya, chica." Andre says, grabbing 'Tori' and carrying her over to the chairs and strapping Cat in as Cat argues, her voice now sounding close to Tori's, surprising the others.

"Thank you." Tori says as she gets ready to start the machine.

"Have fun, Andre." Jade says, smirk returning when Tori starts the machine.

"Why?" Andre asks, staring at his best friend's girlfriend, confused.

"You're faster and stronger than Tori. Add in Cat's energy, and you don't stand a chance." Jade says, waiting for Tori to start the machine.

"Oh, crap." Andre says after coming to, seeing Cat already undoing the strap and standing up. "No, Cat, don't run off!" He says, too late as Cat's already out of the room by the time he gets the strap off and goes to chase Cat. "I hate you." He tells Jade as he passes her, not seeing the hurt look in her eyes for 'Tori' saying she hates her.

'Well, there's a bright side to this.' Tori things as everyone starts talking and planning switches with each other. 'Now I can find out if Jade likes me, or my body.' She adds, looking around.

"God, I can't believe you're in that body now." Jade says, shuddering as she ignores the others for now, turning her attention to Tori, finally over her 'entertainment' of the switches.

"Why? I'm still me. Or is it my body that you want instead?" Tori asks, crossing Robbie's arms.

"You actually think I only like you because you're hot? That's a joke, right?" Jade asks, staring back at 'Tori'. "Fine. I'll prove it. And I'll prove that you're the one interested in my body, not me." She says, grabbing Trina's arm and dragging her to the machine. "Start the machine. Or don't you think you'll like me if I look like Trina?" She asks, locking Trina in.

"Fine." Tori says, hesitant to start the machine, unaware of the deafening silence around them, Trina too stunned to fight back. "I'm not the one that was disgusted." She says, starting the machine. A moment later, after the switch happens, she watches as the two bodies undo the straps and stand up.

"So, think you can date your sister?" Jade asks, internally gagging at the thought, an emotion shared with Tori and Trina.

"Switch with me." Trina, in Jade's body, orders Robbie, grabbing Beck's body and dragging him to where her body was sitting a moment ago and strapping him in. "Someone push the stupid buttons." She says from Jade's body, not wanting to look like her sister's girlfriend any longer.

"Got it." Tori says, Robbie's hand quickly pressing the buttons to swap.

"But I don't want to be Jade." Robbie whines, looking down at Jade's dark clothing.

"If I find out you saw me naked in any way and for any reason, I'll gut you after we all get our bodies back." Jade threatens, Trina's face not weakening the threat.

"Damn, gorgeous again. Even if I'm not in my body." Trina says from the mirror, checking out Beck's abs.

"Switch with me." Beck says in Cat's body, staring at the others.

"Not happening." Trina and Robbie say. Though Robbie is afraid of what'll happen, he likes his chances better in Jade's body than Cat's.

"Don't even think about it." Jade says, somewhat surprising Beck since he figures Jade would want to get out of Trina' body and that Tori wouldn't want to seem that close with her sister, even if they're in different bodies.

Shortly after, the group of five, six counting the silent Rex, leave the basement after Robbie covers up his machine and locks the door behind him, the key disappearing into the jeans Robbie was wearing, now in control of Tori. "Meet back here tomorrow, same time, and I'll switch everyone back." Robbie says as he, in Jade's body, turns and leaves.

Minutes after everyone went their own ways, Robbie notices a few things. Even though he isn't walking like Jade usually walks, and he doesn't have her signature scowl, everyone gives her space. Not just students, but faculty as well. Everyone, the jocks, gym teachers, everyone steps, or jumps in some instances, aside when 'Jade' walks down the hallways, fear evident in their eyes.

'This is weird.' Robbie thinks as he goes to leave, the school day over but most staying after school on a Friday for a play or something else they're working on. 'Is she really that scary to everyone else? I know she has a reputation, but still…' He thinks, leaving the school.

Meanwhile, in the school's parking lot, a small collection of students watch 'Tori' chasing 'Andre' around the cars, a giggling 'Andre' getting out of 'Tori's' reach with ease each time 'Tori' gets close. 'You're lucky you're like a sister to me, and that your girlfriend would kill me in half a second, Tori, or you'd be on your own right now.' Andre thinks as he finally grabs Cat, dragging his own body to his car, thankful he keeps his keys in his pocket and not his locker.

That's it for part one. Can't say when part two will be out.

For the next two weeks, I won't have internet at home, so I won't be able to reply to PMs, or check reviews or anything until I go to the library in the mornings. Also, because the library is closed Sundays, I won't be able to do anything on Sundays, so if any of you send a PM or anything, I won't be able to check it until Monday. The reason I don't have internet at the moment is that no one at the cable/internet company told us that using things like Apple TV and using it for youtube or anything was considered streaming, and that streaming anything used 100 gigs of the 300 we're allowed to use per period, and I think we get two a month, so we get 600 gigs of data to use a month. Because of that, we had to unplug our wi-fi router for a couple of weeks, until the period or whatever it's considered passed and the next one begins.

Sorry for the long bit I don't think anyone will really care about. I just wanted to add it to explain why I won't be responding to anything until about twenty-four hours after I post this.

Anyway, thank you for reading, hope you liked it and review.

Blessed Be.
