Chapter One I sighed as I walked into my room like every other night, thinking about how shit my day had been. I pulled out my 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge' copy and stuck it into my c.d. player. Yeah, I know it's not their most recent of albums but I love that album. My Chemical Romance is the best band in the world! I've always loved their music. I've especially always loved their bassist Mikey! He is soooooo cute, with or without glasses. I turned up the volume so I could just lie there and think about Mikey. It's a sort of hobby of mine. Ok so I may be a little obsessive. I have pics of him all over my walls and dozens of posters. I learned bass 'cause of him and have learned all his parts off by heart. I go to all of their UK performances and have loads of Mikey's autographs. I have all of the collectors stuff and any other stuff that I could buy off eBay. So I guess I am a little obsessed. "Emily turn the music down. I can't even hear my self think from downstairs." I heard my mum call. So I got up and turned it the bare minimum down. This always happened every night. I know in a few minutes she'll come up and turn it down herself while I remain lying on the bed in an attempt to piss her off. And it usually works. So I waited for the add break ten heard her run up the stairs. I watched her come into my room; wade her way through the mess of clothes, un-finished homework from months ago and everything else on my floor over to my c.d. player and turn down my music. Then listened as she pounded her way down the stairs back to whichever soap she felt like watching tonight. I just lay there and continued to listen until the album had finished, then shoved on 'Welcome To The Black Parade'. Again I just lay there. Eventually I fell asleep. It was only half ten which is extremely early for me so I must have been tired, but instead of dreaming everything went black... Chapter two I woke up in an un-familiar room. I closed my eyes thinking it was a dream then some one shook me and yelled in my ear; "Get the hell up Mikey you lazy bitch!" 'Mikey?' I rolled over to see none other than Gerard Way. I closed my eyes again. 'This is definitely a dream' I thought to myself. "One week till we go on tour again and we need to practice," He said firmly. I decided I should get up. I mean this is a dream right? So I might as well make the most of it. I sat up and banged my head hard on the bunk above. "Owwwwww" I groaned as the pain hit my head. This was definitely the most realistic dream I had ever had. I looked over to see Gerard laughing. "Dumb ass!" "Always nice to know you find my pain funny," I replied sarcastically. "Ain't it just!" This time I really got up. I saw a pair of black jeans and a Green Day t-shirt. I pulled them over my head and went to eat breakfast. Even if this was a dream I was still hungry... Mikey's P.O.V. I opened my eyes in a strange room. I could tell it was a bedroom because of the bed, the wardrobe, and all the clothes on the floor. "Holy shit!" I whispered as I saw a load of posters and pics of me all over the room. I looked in the corner to see a bass propped up on a stand with the music for Famous Last Words on some sheets of paper. A woman opened the door. "Get up NOW Emily or you're gonna be late for school!" She shouted with a funny English accent. 'Emily?' My head questioned. I got up and walked over to a long mirror. I was a girl! A girl of about 16. I had long black hair with purple tips, a lip ring and pale skin. I had dark eyes, they were such a dark brown they were almost black. If only Gerard could see me now. He would laugh at the fact I had changed into a girl. Then I thought 'shit if this is real will I ever see my brother or any of my friends ever again?' As I did this I saw a tear fall down my new pale face. Then I realised I was just standing there in a bra and a pair of knickers. My mind started to think a load of strange thoughts but then I remembered I was this girl so dirty thoughts were banned. I looked over to the wardrobe and opened it. I grabbed a pair of black baggy jeans and a used top. I shoved them on. I looked back in the mirror and noticed a small make up bag on the bedside table. I went over and picked it up. I rummaged inside until I found a black eye liner pencil. What? If I'm gonna be a girl I might as well look good. I applied the make up and found some black eye shadow and applied that as well. I looked in the mirror admiring the job until I heard the English woman call again; "Emily you're gonna be late, so get your ass down here now!" I put on a pair of black trainers and went downstairs. When I got down there I saw she was holding a MCR messenger bag and a black jacket. "Hurry up! Ebony came five minutes ago. She's waiting outside." I pulled on the jacket and grabbed the bag, which was heavier than I thought. I went over to a heavy white door and opened it to be greeted by the world and a girl about 16. Like me she was pale and tall but she had black hair streaked with red and heavier make up. "Ready to go back to the educational torture chamber?" she asked jokingly. I just nodded. "Well then let's get our asses moving. Only two more weeks till the MCR concert!!!" she said excitedly. "Really?" I asked. How could they have a concert with out their bassist? Had they already replaced me? Did they even notice I was gone? "Yeah ... I thought you counted down the days on that fucking calendar of yours?" "Yeah...but...still, I just can't believe it's so close." I said nervously. "Are you okay? You're acting kinda strange today." "I'm fine," I muttered as we reached what looked like school gates.... Emily's P.O.V. So I went onto the hall and saw a kitchen at the end. I walked in to see Ray Toro sitting at a counter on a stall stuffing his face with donuts. "About time. Frank's usually the last one up. He refused to get up until you were up." He said rolling his eyes. "Wanna donut?" "Okay" I said and grabbed one from the box. "Guess I better tell Frank to shift his butt," he said laughing. He got up and wandered out the door. I just sat there until I finished my donut. I looked around until I saw a coffee maker. I suddenly craved coffee so I walked over and fixed my self some coffee. I heard foot steps and turned my attention to the door. I saw Frank Iero rubbing his eyes standing there in a shirt and his boxers. "Aww, couldn't you have stayed in longer? I was having a great dream about a couple of hot chicks," he said trying to sound upset. "Sorry, but coffee called," I said laughing. "Now I have to get dressed and listen to Lord Gerard commanding that we practice till I'm no longer cute. Which will never happen so we spend the rest of our lives practicing," he said. "I'm sure you'll live," I smiled. "You say that every morning! One day I'm gonna die from over-practicing and then you'll be sorry for telling me that you don't die from practice. Then your gonna have to put on my grave 'cute ass but too much practice'," he said grinning. "Whatever," I said still grinning. "What's with you today? You seem more fun," he said half joking half concerned. "Nothing, just banged my head when I got up," I said now starting to think this wasn't a dream. "Yay! It knocked some fun into you...not much so we should bang your head again." He had a strange gleam in his eye so I wasn't sure if he was joking or not. Then I thought, if we have practice then I have gotta be as good as the real Mikey Way. Oh shit. What am I gonna do if I forget it. Let's just hope I really am as good as the real Mikey... Mikey's P.O.V. I went into the school with this Ebony girl. I had no idea who I was or where I was going. I followed Ebony as it seemed we were in all the same classes together. I mean it was so confusing. I felt like I was back at high school just starting...then I remembered I was. I spent the whole day being called a gothtard and an emo but so was Ebony so I lived with it. Lunch was really confusing though. I followed Ebony and sat at a table with more people. They all chatted casually but I had no idea what most of them were on about, until finally; "Hey Em, you're really quiet today, what's up?" A boy with hair kinda like Gerard's asked. "Nothing, nothing, just thinking of the MCR concert." "Does that mean thinking about Mikey again?" A red haired girl asked. "Lisa, he's all she ever thinks about." "Remember that time at Nottingham Arena when we all waited by the buses after the show to see if we could see any of the band?". "Yup," said the Gerard-haired dude. "Emily decided to go get some coffee and bumped into Mikey! She fainted and had to go home!" I thought I recognised this kid! I'm in the body of one of my biggest fans! Does that mean I'm in the body of her and she's in my body? Gerard had told me ghost stories of things like that when we were kids. They switch bodies and can only get switched back if the two souls meet up and become friends or some crap. Holy shit. I need to call myself on my phone. I ran out and found a pay phone in the corridor. I fumbled in my jeans pocket and found about five pounds in coins. Then I realised I had changed my number last week and didn't know my new one. Shit. Then I thought why not call one of the guys phones. The first one that came into my head was Frank's. So I dialled the number and slipped in the coins...
Chapter 3 We had just finished practicing and me and Frank had gone back to the kitchen for coffee while the guys carried on. I was pretty good but had a little trouble keeping up. So, anyways, we were in the kitchen when Frank's phone rang. "Y'ellow" Frank answered. I heard someone on the other end of the phone say something. Then frank go; "Emily? Err ok," he put the phone against his chest and said it was someone called Emily. He cast me a confused look as he handed me the phone. My heart skipped a beat when I heard my old voice. "Emily? Is that you?" the voice asked. "Yeah it's me. Who are you?" "It's me Mikey...do you know what the fuck's going on? I'm at a school and I've been following someone called Ebony. I have no idea what's going on but I'm fucking freaked!" "Holy shit! I thought it was a bloody dream..."was all I could say. "I've gotta go, some kinda bell just went." "Bye," I muttered. I pressed the down the off button. I was wondering what to do about all this. My mind was racing. So many thoughts were buzzing around up there until Frank said; "Who's Emily?" "No-one." "So then why was no-one calling my cell?" "Cause no-one wants to talk to you." "Very funny. Seriously who was calling?" "Just a girl." "And is just this girl cute?" "She's 16, you perv." "Why's a 16 year old calling you?" he said giving me a strange look as if he thought I was a perv. "I dunno... Maybe cause she's in England and I'm in New Jersey so we can't talk face-to-face?" "You're dating a 16 year old English girl?" "No!" "Mikey's dating a 16 year old?" Gerard walked in the room grinning. "Her name's Emily," Frank said. "My brother's perving on an English chick...Is she hot?" "I give up," I said walking back to the room I'd woken up in. I just lay there. I decided I'd wait till half three when I'd, no, he'd be home from school and ring. If mum answered the phone I'd say it was Darren. So I waited until half three. I reached into my jeans pocket and grabbed a cell phone. I dialled in my home number and waited while it rang. Eventually my mum picked up. "Hello?" "Heya, it's, err, Darren, is Emily home?" "Yeah, I'll just get her." I heard Mikey picked up my room phone ad my mum put down the main phone. "Hello?" "It's me. Are you ok?" "Err, let's think...I've been stuck inside an obsessor's body without a clue about what I'm doing, and you're out there with my brother and my friends doing God only knows what!" "Look, I didn't ask for this to happen! So don't blame me!" I put the phone down and turned to see Frank. We just stared at each other then he suddenly burst out: "What did ya do? Get that Emily girl pregnant?" "Hell no!" "Then what was that mini argument over?" "Nothing." "God you're strange today..." He walked off. I guess to go tell Gerard he thought I'd knocked up some 16 year old. If he knew the full story he'd know that I was really the 16 year old girl just trapped in his friend's body. Man, I sound like a mental patient. Great! "So who is she seriously?" Frank said as he came back in the room with two coffees. "You wouldn't believe me..." I muttered. "Come on...old Frankie is nosey and wants to know even if you make it up as ya go along." So I told him. He really did think I was making it up. He gave me a look that sorta half believed me and half thought I was crazy. "...so I guess ya now think I'm a mental case" "Either your mental and so's this girl or you're telling some sort of demented truth..." "Demented truth," I said. "So EMILY how the fuck did ya switch bodies with Mikey?" "How in the name of fuck am I meant to know? I just woke up as Mikey. I've spent these past few years fantasising about the guy then I wake up one day and I am the bloody guy. I mean wanting to meet him is scary enough. Good, but scary. Waking up as the guy, that's way past scary." I said getting kinda annoyed now. "Fine I believe you..." he muttered. "Just don't tell the others or they really will think I'm mental..." "I still think you're mental....I also believe you..." "How do I get back?" I said after a long time. "I dunno...I guess either you have to wait till you go back...or you have to meet her...or it could be a Freaky Friday switch where you have to understand each other." "Well I've got Mikey's tickets to see us in two weeks in Nottingham, England so maybe we could meet up after the show?" "I guess...but are any of your friends like mental over me cause if were gonna meet them to I need to know if they're cute." I rolled my eyes. Then me and Frank sat there and started to work out how this was gonna happen...
Chapter 4 So after she phoned I just lay there on the bed I woke up from this morning. Eventually I got up and wandered to the bass in the corner. I started to play 'To the End'. I dunno why I just started to play and that's what came out. Anyway, I was getting so into it that I didn't even notice that Ebony came in and sat at the end of the bed until she started to sing the chorus. She was really good. I carried on playing until I reached the end. "So you finally got the music for that song?" "No...I just knew it" "Cool." "You're almost as good as Gerard!" I said without thinking. "Huh?" "Gerard...Way." "Okay...maybe I'll make it to stardom one day," she said doing a mock bow. I clapped my hands together. "Anyways what ya doings here?" I asked. "I'm staying over tonight, remember? God you're acting strange today."
The next few days were difficult. Not only was I away from my home family and normal life, but I was a famous bassist in a band with hundreds of teenage girls harassing me for me to sign anything the have on them. It really was difficult but I discovered Mikey and me weren't all that different. We both had the same sense of humour, we both liked the same music and we had a lot of the same habits. So it was really easy to fit in with all the others so only Frank noticed the difference but it was still really hard to act natural around Gerard. He thought I was his little brother, the guy he had grown up with so I had to be as Mikey like as possible around him. But apart from that I was getting used to it; I was practicing my butt off, constantly drinking coffee and hanging around with the guys. But as soon as I got used to it I remembered we were on tour the next day. Fuck. FUCK FUCK FUCK! "Frank, shit, we're going on tour tomorrow!" "And?" "And I've never played in front of a live audience!" "Nice to know." "What the fuck am I meant to do out there?" "Play...and if you forget how this cute ass will stand in front of you and throw the audience some looks and if that doesn't work ... well then My Chemical Romance is doomed but that won't happen cause; 1) You're great so you'll play without fear and, 2) If that doesn't work the audience will be mad not to resist me," he said with a grin. "Well thanks for this little talk. You're even more full of your ass than I thought." "Go talk to Gerard." "Huh?" "Mikey always gets nervous before a tour...so he always has a li'l talk to Gee first. It calms him down then he's fine." Frank explained. So I went off to find my 'brother'. I looked everywhere and eventually found him. Bob and Ray were putting the last of the stuff on the bus, ready for tomorrow. "Wanna help by any chance?" Bob asked. "Naah, came to talk to Gee." I replied. "See ya 'cause I got an excuse to leave!" He said sticking his tongue at Ray. "Why couldn't you have wanted to talk to me?" Ray whined. "Maybe another time," I called back as we walked off. We went off towards the house. We headed off to my room. "Let me guess...you're nervous about going on tour like every other time. You think you'll screw up and you're not good enough and the other tours were flukes? Well I'm gonna tell ya what I tells ya every other time. You're not only my brother but my best friend. You always do your best and it always works out and if you do mess up at any time me and the guys will always be there for you whether it be one show or the whole tour. We loves ya so it doesn't matter how good or bad you do that will never change. Got that?" He said. 'Nice speech' I thought. Then I realised I was crying. I didn't realised he loved me/ Mikey that much. "Don't turn on the water works, I tell you this every time and you always cry. But my li'l speech is true and don't ya forgets it." With that he gave me a hug and walked out. The Next Day "Mikey Get up the plane leaves in an hour!" Ray shouted at me from the hall. So I got up and dressed and wandered out. Everyone was already on the bus and waiting for me. Bob wound down a window. "Ya know that if we miss this plane, I'm gonna have to sit next to you the whole way and moan about how I was bored outta my mind waiting for the next plane," he yelled. So I ran on the bus. It was amazing. Well it was a normal tour bus but I was on the bus that the whole of My Chemical Romance lived in for months on end. Trust me it was amazing. So anyways, me and Gerard went into the room we would be sharing, which had two bunks a sofa and a TV with DVD and games console. We just sat there and played Mario brothers for a while. Yes, I know not the most exciting of games but we managed to get glued till Bob and Ray came in and said they wanted a turn. So I went off to find Frank in his room. We just talked till we got to the airport. When we got there Gerard got our tickets sorted then we ran to get on our plane which was just about close to boarding. We were sat in the three rowed seats as Gerard, Bob and Ray in front of me and Frankie. We heard them get into a long conversation about some lyrics for a new song. Me and Frank talked about random things till he spotted some cute girl a few rows back and went over to 'chat'. A few minutes later he returned with her phone number. I had to remind him that MCR where only gonna be in the UK for three weeks. He didn't speak for a while and then I sorta just went to sleep. I woke up about an hour later to see Bob and Gerard pouring nuts into Ray's hair. We laughed and started to talk about random things again. Eventually we landed in Heathrow, London. "Finally. Can we go find a hotel for the night now?" Ray complained pulling the last of the nuts from his 'fro. We got a cab and went to find a hotel. We found one right in the centre but it was only 3pm in England so we decided to go look around. We found a music shop a few streets away. The girl at the till instantly recognised us and asked us to sign a load of the My Chemical Romance products she was selling and a few of her own stuff. I thought it would be hard to do Mikey's signature but the hand just wrote it as if it really was Mikey writing it. I guess the hand just did it automatically now. After that we just went into the city. We were bombarded with crowds of fans. It was exhausting. So after that we just went back to the hotel and slept.
Chapter 5 I woke up at half two in the afternoon. I was surprised as I hadn't slept that well in months. I put on The Black Parade album. I got dressed. I randomly decided I was getting this girl her navel pierced. I dunno why. I mean it wasn't my body but I was still prepared to vandalise it. I just think it would suit her, plus she's got the right body shape to pull it off. So I got dressed and rang Ebony. Once I started to get used to this life and routine I found I was able to talk to Emily's friends more easily. So anyways I rang her and agreed to meet her at her house. I knew where it was because I had been there several times and it was only a few streets away. So anyways, I met her round her house. We walked into town and I followed her to the piercing studio. She decided she was gonna get hers done too. We walked in and showed the lady at the counter our ID's with our age. Then followed her through to a room in the back. She showed us a load of bars and told us to pick one out. I picked a black and silver gothic one with a bat on the end. Ebony chose a silver one with spikes at each end. When we had decided the woman came back in. She washed her hands then put on some gloves. She sprayed my stomach with some kind of anti-bacterial spray then got out a pen. She put a dot where she was gonna stick the needle through, then double checked with Ebony it was centred just to be on the safe side. Then she pulled out a long thick needle. I clamped my eyes shut as the pain of the needle spread through my stomach. When she had pierced it she quickly replaced the needle with my chosen bar. She sprayed it with the antibacterial stuff again then told me it was over. It was still pretty painful but I sat up. She handed me a small bottle of liquid, which she instructed that I rubbed on my piercing twice a day for the next six weeks until I was allowed to change the bar. I thanked her then watched her do the same procedure on Ebony. We paid her then quickly exited the shop. As we got outside Ebony asked me; "How come you're acting different these last few days?" "Different?" "I don't know how I just know you're not you!" "Oh well. Wanna go get something to eat? I'm starving." I said quickly. "Sure...but I know there's something different about you...Don't forget I've known you're all my life and know that there's definitely something up, you can't hide it from me" She said seriously almost pleading for me to tell her. I gave in. Emily had told me she told Frank so I guessed it was alright to tell Ebony. I told Ebony what was going on. Her face fell into a look that told me she believed me but it just didn't sound real. She sighed. "If you want me to believe this your gonna have to show me some proof. You've never lied to me before ... but this still sounds too crazy and like its outta some demented movie. I mean if this is a joke please tell me now." "Fine I'll give you proof hand me your phone!" She sighed again and me her phone. I dialled in Frank's number and handed it to her. I heard it ring then; "Yellow, Frank Iero here" "OMG!!! Is Emily there, Its Ebony... Mikey just told me everything."... Emily's P.O.V. ..."It's Ebony?" Frank said handing me his phone. "Ebony ... how did you get Frank's number?" "Mikey told me everything...so is it really you?" "As much as possible ... without the body." "How did this happen?" "If I knew that I would have switched back by now. And Mikey doesn't sound too happy. Any way I gotta talk to him were doing a show tonight." I know he heard that because I heard him shout shit and grab the phone off Ebony. "Shit...You've gotta play in front of I dunno five or more thousand tonight...have you EVER played in front of any type of audience?" "Not exactly...." "Okay then....don't look at the people ... put any anger you may have about anything into the music... when you're playing with emotion it's much better." "I don't have anything to be angry at..." "You do now, I got you're belly button pierced." He almost enjoyed the fact that he had vandalised me with out my permission. "Looks like I do now Bastard! I'm going." And with that I clicked the phone down. "I'm guessing you had wise words with Mikey then?" He said gesturing for his phone back. "Well he's only gone and got my naval pierced...stupid Bastard..." Frank laughed. "He loves ya really...he's probably still pissed that he doesn't get to hang round with this cutie for a while." Chapter 6 I rolled my eyes as he continued to flatter his ass off. I walked off and went to practice. After about half an hour Bob came in. "We gotta go set up, the show starts at half eight and its half four now. Come on." I packed the bass away and helped carry things onto the bus. By five we had packed everything and were on the way. As soon as we got there we were escorted to the arena through crowds of fans. We got set up. It took ages. We finished with help from the crew about two and a half hours before the show. We all went to have a quick last minute run through of what we were gonna do then all went off our separate ways to sort out our make up. I followed frank. He helped me do my make up as soon as he had done his cause I wasn't used to Mikey's was of doing it. Eventually we were ready with an hour before the show. We all went and waited back stage in a sorta lounge type area. Gerard was warming his voice and the rest of us were just getting ready. I found out every one was nervous before a show. Eventually I just sat on a sofa next to Frank and watched my watch tick by slowly. Eventually with 10 minutes to go we went and took out places on stage and did a last minute check. As soon as everything was ready I looked at my watch. 30 seconds to go...10...5...and the sheet rose. The lights around us darkened. We heard the roar of the crowd. Then Gerard stepped towards his mike and a light was cast on him. "HELLLLLLLLLOOOO LONDON!!! And welcome to the first show of our UK tour." The crowd cheered harder. "Are you ready because we certainly are and we're here to give you the best damn fucking music we know howda make!!!" The crowd cheered. "Well here's a little old song of ours that goes by the name of HELENA!!!" The music started. Shit. I know this but there are hundreds of people watching. I heard Frank whisper 3...2...1... Then Gerard started to sing and a few seconds later my fingers started to play. This was easy actually to play in front of all these people. I found confidence I never even knew I had and they loved me! If I had been playing with The Silence of 1,000 Songs (A/N: don't steal the name) my band then I probably would have died. But seeing as we've never played in front of anyone our selves I guess I wouldn't have known. The song finished. We played more of our songs then the show was over too. Gerard took a sip of his water. "Thank you, you have been amazing to-night and thanks for helping us start off our UK tour. We all loves ya's don't we guy's?" We all stepped up to our mikes. "Fuck Yeah" We all screamed at the same time. With that the lights went down. The sheet went down and after about 10 seconds the lights came back on again. I followed the others off stage. Frank slowed down to wait for me. "Congratulations, not bad for your first show!" He smiled and hugged me. He put his arm over my shoulders and we walked off laughing about the show. We sat down on the couch back stage and waited till everyone was ready to go. We sat there and talked about each other. I dunno why but we just kinda did. Then we started to get into personal stuff. You know the really embarrassing stuff like little kiddie memories. We laughed at each other then we suddenly stopped and looked into each other's eyes. We both leaned forward and our lips met. His soft lips brushing against mine were amazing, I'm even sure I heard a couple of fire works! We suddenly heard a voice; "Mikey and Frank sitting in a tree" We quickly broke apart and saw Gerard smiling at us. "Aww don't stop on my account I was just about to get popcorn!" Gerard said in a mock-disappointed voice. "What ever" I said and walked out on to the stage to check my bass was away. While I was packing the rest of my equipment away I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. I mean it's not like it was my first kiss but it was the most amazing kiss I had ever had. His lips were so soft and gentle and I never wanted to let go. I realised how gay I must have looked in Mikey's body but I didn't care. Frank was just this ama... 'O shit...I think I've fallen for Frank!' My head screamed. He stayed in my mind until I got out into the car park our bus was in. There were loads of fans waiting. I could see Frank only a few fans away so I started to sign. My heart was practically exploding when I caught up with him, as if it wanted to burst out and hand itself to him. I continued to sign for the next half an hour until most of the fans were gone then headed for the bus. As soon as I got on there I saw everyone was celebrating. Gerard was impersonating the crowd with Ray and Frank doing mock bows and Bob was jumping about on the sofa trying to sing an impression of Gerard. "Heya!" "Emily!" Frank ran over and hugged me. "Emily!?" the other three said in unison casting me and him strange looks. 'You're in shit now....' My head told me. "I meant ....Mikey!" "Then where the hell did Emily come from? Isn't that the name of that English chick Mikey knows?" "He's been calling me Emily cause he's sure there's no-one on the other end of the phone and thinks I'm talking to myself," I said rolling my eyes. It was the crappest excuse ever but hey it might work. "Aww don't make fun of my little bro.... Anyway don't you stand in front of a mirror and tell your ass how god dam purdy it is?" Frank blushed. "I'm gonna go play Mario...wanna come Frank?" "Sure just wait a sec"...He went and stood in front of a mirror near us... "God ass you're looking fine today" He said making us all laugh.... "What well there's no point hiding it now everyone knows?" So we went off and played Mario. But after a while we just got bored and started to kiss instead, maybe this body swap thing isn't so bad after all! Chapter 7 Mikey's P.O.V. I was nervous all evening but Ebony's folks let me stay over. Eventually at twelve I was so goddamn nervous Ebony let phone Emily. The phone rang a couple of times then Frank answered; "Aww...who ever this is I want you to know you ruined a good make out session with Mikey," He said half joking half annoyed. "YOU WHAT!?" Then I heard him giggle and pass Emily the phone. "Y'ellow." "What in the fuck are you doing kissing Frank in my body? "What are you so worried about?" "Err in case anyone sees you!" "Relax...your brother already saw us back stage and he's not too pissed!" "Gerard saw you snogging? Great." "Anyway...why'd ya call?" "Oh right...how was the show...did you survive?" "Yup I survived and played fine; Frank's still the only one that knows!" "I gotta go....just don't let any of the fans see you snogging." And with that I put the phone down. "So anything good/bad/interesting happen?" Ebony asked. "Emily's been making out with Frank and Gerard's seen them. Now he thinks I'm dating him...Great." I rolled my eyes. "Oh well at least he's not against it...How'd the show go?" "It went great as far as I can tell..." and with that I went to sleep. Emily's P.O.V. the next day We didn't have a show the next night. Seeing as they aren't going too many places in the UK they're doing a show every other night. But we had to change hotels seeing as we were doing our next show in Cornwall. On the bus journey there me and frank spent a lot of time talking. Eventually we got bored. We went into the cupboard and pigged out on Tostitos. When we finished we chucked all the crumbs in Ray's hair. He got annoyed and started to chase us round the bus. Eventually when we thought we had lost him we started to kiss. Franks lip ring was cold but I didn't care cause his lips were warm. Eventually his tongue licked my bottom lip asking for permission to enter. I opened my mouth and our tongues started to have a sorta war. Then Ray found us but we didn't notice because we were in another world. "Get a room!" Ray giggled. "Fine we will." Said Frank. So we went into his room. He was sharing with Bob. We knew though the furthest we could go was snogging cause it was Mikey's body and he already didn't want us to kiss. It seemed like only minutes we were sitting there but after about two hours Gee came in and told us we were gonna Find a hotel. So we broke apart. We found a hotel right near the beach. It was only around Midday so we decided to go down to the beach. It was colder in England but we didn't really seem to notice. We realised we didn't have any costumes and we decided little kids might not like to see us in our underwear cause one or two only had thongs and the rest had very revealing boxers. We found a shop near the beach and went in. Frank got a black pair of swimming shorts with an interesting shark design on them. I just got plain black. Then we went to look at all the other stuff they had in the store. Frank was gonna get some goggles cause he said he was gonna look for starfish but Gerard laughed and told him that if they did they'd be in rock pools so he wouldn't need them. Almost like a child he was disappointed and put them back on the stand. We went and found some changing rooms near the beach. Me and Frank had to share one cause there were only four. We went and changed. We all had a t-shirt on as well cause we didn't want to get a tan or anything. We went on to the beach. Hundreds of teenage girls in bikinis got us to sign things and we had a load of photos taken. Eventually when most of the attention was on Gerard me and Frank wandered off, soon followed by Bob, but Ray didn't get away so easily cause with his hair, it's hard to escape unnoticed. So we all walked of. We didn't do much. We walked around till we found an ice cream stall. It was great, until we remembered we had abandoned Ray and Gerard back along the beach. So we went back. We couldn't find them so went back to the hotel and found them sulking. "How come you guys left us?" Ray said pulling green stuff outta his hair. "Yeah I was the only one dumping sea weed in Ray's hair," said Gerard laughing but pretending to be upset. "Aww no fair..." Frank said sulkily crossing his arms and pouting. "But how could we go to the beach without eating ice-cream?" I said laughing. "What you got ice cream with out us?" Ray now genuinely upset. "Cause you were too busy having crap dumped in your hair" Bob said. After that me and Frankie went off to our room. To keep the cost down we had two per room and Gerard had his own. It was two beds per room so don't get any x-rated ideas about how we'd be spending our nights. We hung out and just chatted. Frank wasn't like other guys I knew. Most guys just wanted action and lots of it. Frank just let me do what I wanted. I wanted to go a lot further than talking with him but like I said before, Mikey's body, Mikey's rules. We talked about what kinda music we were into, and then sorta we got talking about other stuff. I told him about some of the songs I'd written. "Ya know if you can remember them you can write them out now, if your band's not already using them. You're in Mikey's body so Gerard might actually use them. Lots of fans write us songs. No matter how good they are Gerard refuses to look at them." So I got a pen and wrote out my favourite most secret song. I showed frank and he helped me edit it. It was finally done by me and Frank so I said he should take half the credit. He refused but after about half an hour of refusing to show anyone unless he took half the credit he agreed. We went and found Gerard in his room on his laptop. "Heya Gee" I said as I opened the door. "Heya what's up?" He asked closing the laptop. "Me and Frank have been working on a song and we thought ya might wanna take a look. It's about a famous boy and a normal girl. They switch lives or something. One finds love in their new life and the other has chance to discover what it's like to be normal again." I explained "Lets see it then." I handed his the sheet. He scanned over it examined it for a good 15 minutes. "It's almost like you were there. I like it, I'll go see what Bob and Ray think." "Sure." So went out into their room to see them watching some cartoon. They didn't notice us for ages until Gerard crept up behind bob and shouted into his ear; "ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT'S GERAAAAAAAAAAAARD!" "Holy shit." Bob jumped. "What'd ya want Gee?" Ray asked. "Well my dear brother and Frank have written a song," He said in an English accent. "Have they really now?" Ray took it in his hand and Bob read over his shoulder. They both asked if we'd written any music to go with it yet. I said we hadn't. "Well looks like you'd better go write one. You me and Frank can go off to the bus and start working on it!" "Hey I wanna come too," Ray moaned. "Yeah me and Ray'll come to," Bob said brightly. I went and got Frank and we headed over to the bus. Me, Ray and Frank got out our instruments and went back to the hotel. Bob's drum was too heavy and loud to take in. Frank and Ray messed around until Frank came up with the perfect tune. I copied on my bass then Ray started to do his own little melody over the top. It sounded awesome. Gerard and Bob listened and nodded until we were all happy, then Gerard tried to sing over the top. Once we where happy with the tune, we wrote down the new stuff. After practicing till about half 11 one of the other guests came and complained so we had to stop. We all chatted about it till we decided we should go sleep as we had a show the next day. We all went back to our rooms. Me and Frank chatted in the dark and eventually fell asleep. The next day I woke up and realised I was wrapped in Frank's arm. I was still lying in my bed which meant he must have came and slipped in my bed in the night when I was asleep, but I didn't complain. I just wrapped my self tighter and snuggled up to his body. It was so warm and inviting. I lay there with my eyes closed and imagined what life would be like when we switched back. Frank had already promised that we would just keep in touch at the bare minimum. He said we might even be able to date in a year or so when I was a little older, or we could just secretly be dating. I just lay there until I felt Frank wake up. "Wake up sleepy head," I mumbled. "Hey babe," He replied yawning. This is why I loved being with Frank. Although I was in Mikey's body, he didn't mind. He liked me for who I was cause he had never seen my body. We kissed then I finally asked him; "How come you're in my bed?" "I got cold in the night and knew that being near you was the only thing that would warm me up." He said smiling. I loved his smile. It was so cute the way he could do it at just the right moments. It was sexy yet cheeky and like a little kid's. We got up and got dressed. We went into the restaurant downstairs for breakfast. We saw the others and sat at their table. "Hurry up, its 9:50 and they stop selling breakfast at 10," Ray said as the waiter came over. It wasn't a posh restaurant or hotel. Just an average family one so there were a lot of little kids around and parents who were trying to calm us down. I hurried up and ordered. There was some girl sat on a table not far away. Her parents sipping coffee. She had an ipod in her hand and was humming along to 'I Don't Love You'. As soon as she recognised us she ran from the table and asked if we would all sign her ipod for her. We all just shrugged and signed. She ran back to the table now treating her ipod like a precious ornament that if handled too roughly would break. Finally the waiter came. I had pancakes, so did Frank and Ray. Gerard had toast and Bob had waffles. After breakfast we went to set up for our next show. Gerard said if we set up now we could work on the song. Every one seemed to follow Gerard all the time. He was like our leader. When we were set up we started to play and Bob tried to get a decent beat. Eventually Gerard started to sing. It was amazing to think that a song that I wrote was now gonna be sung world wide by one of the most famous bands ever! Eventually when we were all used to it and it was starting to sound a lot better we stopped for lunch. It was only half one but I was already starving. We talked about the song and if it would be ready for tonight's show. "Maybe...but before we can do that we need to think of a name." Gee said. "Switch-over," I said instantly. I don't know where the name came from but it just seemed right. Every one else agreed on that name.
