Ai had always been the most organized among the idols. From their work to ordinary routines, he had jotted down every detail without fail thus his on-time and on-point approach in dealing with almost everything and everyone. Aside from being the most organized, the cyanette was also thought to be fearless for he often resorted to using facts and logic upon encountering strange or unfamiliar situations. Ai was calm and he always got the hang of any issue, including the management of his dork kouhais.

Ai saw the logic in many things which was why he was doing his best in comprehending why the hell did he wake up in the body of Kotobuki Reiji.

'Strange.' The android thought as he stared at himself in the mirror. 'How could this have happened?'

It didn't take long for Ai to think of the culprit to this supernatural occurrence. Cecil must have requested who-knows-what from his muses; whatever his plea was must have something to do with Quartet Night because Ai knew for sure that he never did anything terrible to the prince unless his munchkin of a kouhai magically gained powers overnight and used it against him.

'It would be of no use if I were to do anything. I'm stuck as Reiji unless Cecil does something about it.' Ai thought.

The two kouhais of Reiji were still sleeping and Ai wasn't very informed of the tasks expected from them because it wasn't his business, so the youngest of QN decided to pace around the room while waiting for the idols to wake up. While doing so, the android heard a faint sound which imitated that of a beat-up engine. Ai chose to ignore it until he heard it again. The cyanette looked around to identify where the noise was coming from and, after moving about, he realized that the sound came from him.

'Is this body malfunctioning?' Ai wondered as he took off the shirt he wore and frowned at the percentage of visible fat. 'Reiji needs to do more laps.' Ai made it his personal mission to whip Reiji into shape.

Moving on, the cyanette examined the body of his bandmate without any regard for personal space, his frown deepening whenever he came across a flabby area, in an attempt to detect the source of the sound. He placed a hand on his stomach and felt it rumble.

Oh. This must be what humans called 'hunger' and the one cure for it would be consuming an edible substance known as 'food.'

'Food. This body needs food.'

The cyanette went to the fridge and felt betrayed upon seeing the only contents which were two cans of carbonated beverage. He wanted something solid, but he took the two cans nonetheless before proceeding to rummage through their belongings. He hit the jackpot once he found a bag full of snacks.

"Food..." Ai whispered as he opened a pack of potato chips. The chips glowed like lumps of gold in a mine so the teen had to pause in appreciation before taking out one. Ai examined it before he took a bite. He munched on the chip until he finished with a satisfied smile.

Then he resorted to gorging down the poor, defenseless remains of the snack like some greedy bastard before tearing open a couple more similar treats. Ai gulped in the two cans of soda one after the other along with the drinks he found in the bag. Heck, he even ate the salad flavored potato chips meant for Tokiya!

(Ai has no shame.)

Even after consuming all snacks (including Toki's unloved chips), Reiji's body was still hungry. It was also at that point where Ai realized why Reiji loved to eat so much; now he wondered why Ranmaru loved meat a lot and why Camus was so obsessed with a shit ton of sweets.

Needless to say, Ai couldn't wait to try it.

Sadly, both were nowhere to be found inside the room and Ai experienced a feeling he was quite accustomed to: impatience. It was even worse now that he was in the body of an actual human (although Reiji's level of being annoying was nowhere near human) therefore the cyanette could not switch to his default mode. It also came to his attention that humans tire faster compared to an artificial intelligence thus prompting him to conserve energy for whatever necessary idol activities to be done. Ai was left hoping for any of the kouhais to wake up in order to start the day and to finish work on or ahead of time. A part of him wanted to wake the duo yet, for whatever human reason, he didn't want to disturb them hence the cyanette opted to just stare blankly at them until one of the two would rouse from their slumber.

Which happened very soon.

Otoya was the first to open his eyes and immediately felt queasy upon seeing his half-naked senpai openly stare at him.

"O-Ohayo!" The red-head awkwardly greeted.

"Ohayo." Ai said monotonously.

The android continued to stare at the other which alarmed the guitarist.

Otoya woke up his partner out of panic. "Tokiya! Wake up!"

The taller teen stirred until he opened his eyes to glare at the cause of disturbance.

"What?" Tokiya asked gingerly.

Otoya could only point at the male across them. Tokiya followed the direction the other was pointing at and saw their senpai looking dead-straight at them.

'He's peculiarly silent. And why is he shirtless?' The perfectionist thought. "Ohayo, Kotobuki-san. Is something the matter?"

"What time will work begin?"

"9 o'clock. We still have an hour and a half to prepare." Tokiya responded.

"I see. Do you have the schedule?" Ai asked.

The dark-haired idol took out a small notebook and got out of bed. "It's in here. Every activity that needs to be done is written – "

Tokiya cut his sentence once he saw the messy abomination scattered on the floor. Their luggage appeared to have been ransacked and empty packs of chips and soda cans were left undisposed of. The perfectionist felt a vein pop at the unsightly scenery before him.

Tokiya pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "Kotobuki-san, did you cause these?"

Ai moved his attention to the snack wrappings. "Yes. I should have cleaned it. I apologize."

Tokiya looked at his senior incredulously because, sweet angels above, Reiji said something NORMAL!

The vocalist wanted to confirm if what he heard was correct or Tokyo was just messing with him. "I beg your pardon?"

Ai sighed in irritation. "I said I'll clean it."

True to his words, the youngest idol picked up the trash and had it disposed. Tokiya was impressed while Otoya watched curiously in the background.

"Are you alright, Rei-chan?" The loveable red-head asked after staying silent.

"I am fine." Ai replied. "What should we do now?"

The two members of Starish exchanged looks – one was of confusion and the other was of astonishment – before the older of the two spoke.

"We could get breakfast." Tokiya suggested. "I'm surprised you didn't mention it."

"Breakfast...the most important meal of the day." Ai stated. "We get to eat food, right?"

"Yes? Isn't that what we normally do?" Otoya said, his concern for his senpai increasing by every word the other would spout. "Are you sure you're feeling okay, Rei-chan? You're acting a bit strange."

'That's right.' Ai thought as realization dawned on him. 'I am not me as of now. I am Reiji.'

Crap, now what would Reiji say to his kouhais? Should he say something stupid? Ai wondered and came up with a response.

"I am happy."

WELL that would've been more convincing if Ai said it like he meant it rather than using his monotone voice paired with his award-winning poker face. Come to think of it, he might have scared Reiji's kouhais into believing that their senior had lost his will to spread sunshine and happiness into the lives of those he would meet.

...

Their encounter wasn't looking so great.

"Uh huh." Tokiya said, obviously not convinced but found it too early to be asking questions. "Let's just go get breakfast."

Before they knew it, the Genki team found themselves at the buffet area and it was the quietest meal they ever had, mostly because Reiji was busy stuffing his face with large portions of food, which would have been normal if it weren't for the questionable amount of plates that piled up every time he finished. The brunet kept coming back to the buffet table for another round, as if the four full plates he started with were just light appetizers, like expensive cheese and crackers.

Reiji eating a lot was nothing new, but seeing Reiji eating a lot was making Tokiya sick even though his senior was using a fork and a knife to slice a piece of steak instead of violently gnawing it with his teeth. Tokiya glanced at his partner and saw the same perplexed expression plastered on the red-head's face. After an unbearably long time of silence, the dark-haired teen cleared his throat and discussed their agenda for the day.

"We will have an interview for a magazine and along with it, we have to do a photoshoot in various locations. The company has our lunch covered so we'll be working straight until 5pm. Tomorrow's schedule is another story which we might as well discuss during our breaks." Tokiya exclaimed. "Is that alright?"

The maracas senpai simply nodded. He then got up and proceeded to the dessert area and grabbed an assortment of chocolate and slices of cake. With their senpai busy, the two idols broke into a conversation.

"Tokiya, I'm worried about Rei-chan." Otoya began. "He's acting weird!"

"Weird is an understatement." Toki supplied. "He wasn't like this yesterday. Did something happen last night?"

The guitarist shook his head. "I only told him that the buffet was closed at that time. You don't think he got upset over that?"

"That's preposterous!" The perfectionist commented. "Kotobuki-san wouldn't feel low over something silly."

"But he IS Rei-chan..." Otoya mumbled.

Tokiya furrowed his eyebrows. "Yeah, he is."

The two sat in contemplation until the sound of a phone ringing snapped them out of their thoughts. Otoya reached inside his pocket and took out his cellphone to reveal who the caller was.

"Huh? It's Cecil." The red-head answered the call. "Hello?"

"Otoya, I've done something I shouldn't have." The former cat cowered.

"Nani? What happened? What did you do?" Otoya asked in concern.

Before Cecil could reply, his phone was snatched by another person in the room.

"Hello. May I speak with Kotobuki."

"Nanami?" The guitarist exclaimed in surprise because he could feel the harshness of a snowstorm in the composer's voice he never thought Haruka could even muster.

Without question, Otoya handed his cellphone to Reiji – who just got back in time with three plates full of sweets. The two kouhais watched with curiosity as their senior and composer conversed before he handed back the phone.

"Uh, he'll explain everything. Please don't get mad!" Cecil said before he ended the call, leaving his fellow Starish in a state of confusion.

"I supposed you two were wondering why I'm acting quite unlike myself." The brunet began.

"Had been since this morning but please do continue." Tokiya ushered.

"To put it simply, I am not Kotobuki Reiji. I am Mikaze Ai."

Otoya's jaw dropped. "EHH?"

After minutes of explaining the whole situation, Tokiya and Otoya finally understood the reason for their senior's strange, strange behaviour. Apparently, they were in another switch situation only this time, it was with their senpais AND composer. Compared to the others, however, the two were the calmest about it.

"That makes a lot of sense. Somewhat." Tokiya exclaimed. "Still, we couldn't do much since we're away from them."

Ai agreed. "True, we might as well carry out the tasks assigned to us here. I'll do my best to impersonate Reiji."

Otoyan grinned. "We'll help you along the way, senpai!"

Before anything else could be added, a tray of fancy tuna was brought to the buffet table and Ai was on that area in 5 seconds. The young senpai filled his plate along with other delicacies while the two idols watched.

"He sure has a passion for eating." Otoya pointed out.

The perfectionist nodded. "Well, given his age, Mikaze-san's practically a growing person."

'Hmm...growing person...paired with a grown man's appetite...'

Both continued with their meals until realization dawned upon them.

"Ne, Tokiya?"

"What is it?"

"Since Mikaze-senpai likes to eat, does that mean he'll buy twice as much food as Rei-chan?"

" ..."

"We won't go broke, won't we?" The red-head worriedly asked.

Tokiya did not like where this was going. After a moment of silence, Tokiya replied,

"....how much did you bring?"

Twas days before Christmas, I finally updated :D

Hello dear readers! I present to you chapter 6 of this fanfic! Wow...it felt like a long, LONG time since I last updated The Switch II. Thank you for your patience and continuous support!

It was fun imagining Ai as Reiji and having a huge appetite ^^ Poor Toki and Otoyan..what will happen to their wallets?

Until the next update~ Oh, and here is a another crack version (read: my attempt of giving you lovelies a gift for Christmas. I may or may not have scarred you with this. Happy holidays everyone!)

"Huh? It's Cecil." The red-head answered the call. "Hello?"

"Otoya, I've done something I shouldn't have." The former cat cowered.

Otoya paled. Despite his innocence, he knew what that phrase implied and bloody hell, never in his whole life had he thought of encountering this conversation with his fellow bandmate. Sure - he predicted that someday in the future, he would have to give 'the talk' to a kid he's close to or his son most preferably, but this was too sudden and his information was still limited (he got ideas about sex and stuff, courtesy of Ren who gave him 'the talk' after their switch fiasco).

Cecil was somewhat like a younger brother to the red-head and for whatever reason, Otoya felt responsible for the actual prince of the group. Was Cecil even prepared to have this conversation? Was he prepared to have this conversation?

...oh may the gods above have mercy on them both.

"O-Okay, Cecil, stay calm." Otoya began. "Listen to me. It's about time I tell you something."

From across the table, Tokiya raised a brow at his partner's flustered disposition. The vocalist thought nothing much of it and sipped some of his green tea.

"When a man and a woman love each other,"

That line alone was enough to make Tokiya comically spit out his tea. The dark-haired male stared at the guitarist incredulously, who turned redder than his hair with every word he spoke. Tokiya was forced to listen to Otoya talk about the birds and the bees to Cecil aka Mr. i-fucked-a-girl-while-oniisan-was-away, and the perfectionist himself was starting to get a little embarrassed. Why oh why was his companion having this conversation?

"...and so try to be gentle on her the next time." Otoya said, wanting to cry at the moment. "Were you gentle on her?"

"Uh..."

"What's going on?" Reiji (Ai) asked upon arriving with three plates full of desserts.

Tokiya, who recovered from shock, explained to his senior what was happening.

"Otoya's giving Cecil the talk."

Ai blinked. "Oh."

The cyanette motioned the blushing red-head to hand over the phone.

"Hello, Cecil. As you know, when two people are aroused, blood flows down to..."

As Ai continued his lecture about how the human anatomy worked like he was just talking about the weather, the two kouhais sunk lower in their seats and tried to evade any questioning looks of the other guests.

Leave us to die.

Meanwhile, Cecil's soul felt like escaping his body upon the sudden information he was getting from Otoya AND Ai. Camus happened to notice his kouhai's behavior and took the phone away from him.

"Hello?"

After an explanation from both parties, Camus turned to face Cecil.

"So you were getting the talk, correct?" The royal crossed his arms. "As your senior, I must inform you of such things. Call the others! This is life information all of you must know!"

Needless to say, no one could look at each other in the eye without some sort of embarrassed reaction (except Camus, Ren, and Reiji). And all Cecil wanted to talk about was regarding QN's switch situation. Nice.
