"AAAGH! Negi! You snuck into my bed again, didn't you?"

"S-sorry, Asuna-san! I—"

"I don't wanna hear it, you brat! Stay outta here!"

Yes, it was another ordinary day. All the yelling and screaming going on first thing in the morning – which woke Konoka up.

She yawned. "Morning guys! Though I can't say it's a good morning."

Asuna and Negi just stared at Konoka. The dark-haired girl continued. "Why are you always yelling?" Konoka giggled. "This happens every morning. I asked Grandfather about it, and he said he knows how to calm you guys down."

"What did the Dean say?" asked Negi.

"Well…" said Konoka. She held up a brochure. "Grandfather says we should go here!"

Negi and Asuna sweatdropped. "Lemme see this," Negi said. He took the brochure and read it aloud. "'Morning Glory restaurant. Fine Chinese cuisine. Come and have a nice meal. Let us berid you of all your problems.'" The boy cocked his head to the side.

Asuna grabbed the brochure and continued reading. "'We specialize in a fine Chinese style, and our specialty is service with a smile' (some catch phrase). 'So leave all your cares and worries with us. Enjoy a peaceful setting, and remember – a good meal is the solution to every problem!'"

"Wow," said Negi. "Weird."

"Yeah, figures someone like the Dean would show us this!" Asuna agreed.

"Well I think we should go," Konoka pleaded. "Grandpa knows everything, even if he embarrases me sometimes. 'Sides, it's gunna be fun!"

Asuna groaned. "I don't know about that."

"Aw come on, Asuna. Konoka's right! And we don't get out much anyway!" Negi persuaded.

After a moment, Konoka piped up, "2 to 1! Overruled!"

Konoka and Negi looked so happy. Asuna had no other choice. "Fine," she mumbled, "but it better be good."

"YAAY!" shouted Negi and Konoka.

Asuna sighed. "Then it's settled?" she asked reluctantly.

"Yep! We go tonight!" said Konoka.

"Oh cheer up, Asuna-san," Negi told her. "At least pretend to be interested!"

"Okay, you're right," Asuna said as she ruffled Negi's hair. Negi blushed.

THAT NIGHT…

"Asuna can we go now?" Negi asked her.

"You've been asking me that all day, Negi!" was the reply.

"Come on, it's—" Negi looked at his watch—"6:30! I'm hungry, let's go! Right, Konoka?"

Konoka smiled. "Ready when you are!"

"Ok let's go," said Asuna. To herself, she added, "Can't be that bad!"

"Awkward restaurant that the school Dean recommended, here we come!" Negi cheered.

AT MORNING GLORY…

"Wait, why are we here, again?" Asuna wondered.

"Um… cuz Chao Bao Zi was closed?" joked Negi.

Konoka glared at them. "Yeah I know it's cuz this was your grandpa's idea," Asuna told her, "but I'm still a bit skeptical. I mean, how is a restaurant supposed to solve your problems?"

At that moment, the waitress came over. "Welcome. May I take order?"

Asuna gasped. "Ku Fei! What are you doing here?"

"I work here. Is good job for pay rent and tuition," the martial artist replied.

"Master Ku Fei," said Negi. "The school Dean told us to come here."

Fei smiled. "He very smart, then."

Asuna looked confused. "Ku, is there some secret to this restaurant that we don't know about?"

"I no tell. May I take order?"

"We don't have the menus yet!" said Konoka.

"Oh sorry, I be back soon." Ku walked away.

"Whatever. I'm gunna go wash my hands," Asuna said.

"Yeah me too," said Negi.

IN THE GIRLS ROOM…

"With everything that's going on, I almost forgot why we're here," said Asuna to herself. "I'm mad at that stupid brat, he's so dependant. Why do I have to be the one he always flocks to? (What's wrong with sleeping with Konoka?) I can't stand that kid!"

IN THE BOYS ROOM…

"Why does Asuna-san always make such a big deal?" Negi asked himself. "So what if I'm dependant, she's the one who worries all the time! I've had it up to here with that girl!"

In the meantime, Ku Fei was eavesdropping outside the door. "Ooh, is problem. I sense. Time for spell." She waved her hands around and chanted: "When compassion for eachother lack, only love can bring you back." Ku sighed. "I no want to do this, but no other choice. Is part of job. Sorry Asuna-san and Negi-sensei… Okay, better get out of way now!" She hid behind the corner.

Asuna and Negi walked out at the same time. They were both walking mindlessly and bumped into each other. "Hey watch it, you brat!" said Asuna as she rubbed her head. But when they got up again, something strange happened. The room began to shake. Everything began spinning around. Asuna and Negi felt dizzy. "What's going on?" thought Negi. "My head's spinning!" thought Asuna.

Finally the room stopped shaking.

"Wh-where are we?"

"I dunno."

Negi looked down… and screamed.

Ku Fei smiled from her hiding place and walked over. "Is something matter, Negi-bozu?"

"Yes!" cried Negi. "Look! I'm short! I have glasses! This isn't me!"

Ku Fei giggled. "Yes, curse work perfectly."

In the meantime, Asuna screamed too. "Look at me too! I have all this long hair and these stupid bells and stuff!" She pulled at her hair. "This isn't me!" Asuna looked down. "Yeah that's definitely not me!"

Ku eyed the two. "Just as I thought. Curse is okay. It—"

Negi interrupted. "What is this curse you keep talking about?"

The martial artist sighed. "When two people in fight, use curse to switch bodies. Only way to stop is to make up. Is ancient Chinese tradition."

"So you mean to tell me that I'm stuck in Negi's body?" cried 'Negi.'

"Yes. But nobody else know that. Only you two and me," was the reply.

"This is terrible!" screamed Negi.

"You think I have it any better?" Asuna cried.

Ku Fei laughed. "Sorry, is for own good. Get used to curse. Only break by stop fight. Now, what you want for lunch?"

END CHAPTER 1

A/N: Noo! My computer is still broken! So I'm using the school computer.

I know, not the best fic (gomenasai!). But I think I am getting the hang of this. Please read and review. Any comments or suggestions, please say! Thanks!

Note: After the room starts to shake and they switch places:

When I say "Negi", I mean the body of Negi. The only thing that's different is that Asuna's spirit is in his body. (same goes for Asuna). Hope that cleared up that last scene. Here's an example:

"Negi!"

"Oh hey Takahata Sen—I mean, Takamichi," said Negi.

Takahata looked confused. "You're acting weird, Negi. You okay?"

Negi gulped. "Uh yeah! I'm fine. Just a little tired, is all. K, see ya!" Negi took off.

Takahata sighed. "Oh well!"

Got it? Okay! See ya soon!
