While trying to be rid of the horrible Digimon created of the Dark Spires, Ken and Yolei fall into a strange and humorous situation. Try switching bodies with the opposite sex for a while, and you'll find yourself in some very awkward positions too. ( Kenlei / Kenyako, the whole 02 gang is included) It's rated PG13 for a but of casual swearing.
This fic was inspired by my warped mind and sense of humor! This is the first time I've seen a body-switching fic for Digimon. And who better to torture than the serious yet kind Ken, and the outgoing fun-loving Yolei? They'd annoy each other like hell in each others' bodies, and well... you know ^_~
Disclaimer: DIGIMON=PROPERTY OF NO ONE HERE!
SWITCHMON (bwuahhahahah god I love that name! Switchmon switch &!) = MINE
Important Notes: After they get switched, Yolei will refer to Ken (In the body of Yolei) as Ken when no one is around and vice versa. I will also call Yolei(In Ken's body) Yolei, and Ken(In Yolei's body) Ken. The rest who don't know will call Ken (In the body of Yolei) Yolei, and Yolei(In the body of Ken) Ken. Get it? I'll try and make it clear who is who. Lol, but then again Ken and Yolei will get confused from time to time too. My... we're all going to have so much fun with this.

The Impression I Get
They were in the Digital World again. The group or young boys and girls were walking along a small thicket of digi-trees with their respective digimon partners.
Davis had thought it was a good idea if they came to destroy wondering, menacing digimon made by the mysterious woman who was roaming the digiworld as well.
"Yeaha!!!! Three evil bad guy digi-nothings down, more on the way to get toasted!!" Davis cheered and whooped for another victory of the day as they all settled down for a rest.
"That last digimon was still a real challenge Davis."
"Yeah Davis, you can't underestimate anybody in these situations!"
Kari and TK chimed in their responses as usual. "...then why do they always underestimate me???..." Davis mumbled in small tones as he pouted a little.
Yolei pulled a package out of her backpack and called everyone over.
"Hey everyone, let's take a break! I'm tired and I have food!" At the mention of food, the supposedly tired Digimon dashed to the food. In doing so, they managed to run Yolei over too. The others giggled and laughed, oblivious to her as they trampled over to the little improvised picnic. Yolei lay in a heap on the ground.
She huffed a little as she tried to place her glasses correctly on her face. Still, as she was a little bit peeved, she was also chuckling inside. "I'll never pay off my tab at my parent's convenience store now!"
"Well then you might need a little help. Need a hand?" A suave voice wafted from up above her and she saw his hand extended in front of her.
"Hey it's Ken! Hey!" She heard Davis' voice and took Ken's hand, which pulled her up. Davis walked up and so did the others.
"Hey Ken, what brings you here?" TK inquired as he shifted his weight. Cody still sat, watching over the little Digimon eating and keeping order.
"I...oh, well I wanted to ask..." His eyes diverted from the others to the green Digimon at his feet. Davis rubbed his nose and smiled. "Oh!! Are you hungry Ken? Well sure you can join-!!" he got nudged in the side, hard, by Kari.
"Davis, that food isn't yours. It's rude to offer something that doesn't belong to you!" she whispered, giving Ken an apologetic look. "Actually, I don't want any-"
"Don't be silly!" All their eyes turned to Yolei. "I always have more than enough! Well...sorta... C'mon Ken! I bet Wormmon's really hungry because you tough guys have been beating those evil digimon too neh? So come have something to eat!" She said making big gestures towards to food. Ken smiled a neat small smile, and gave Wormmon the okay to join the Digimon.
So they all sat there, all eating in relative silence. You could hear every little digimon in the digi-woods; the breathing of each child, and the slow chews of them too.
"Sooooo....." Yolei said dully, trying to lighten up the mood. She wasn't doing a good job. So far, only she and Davis had actually accepted Ken. 'But then again,' she thought, 'Davis and I have always been the most trusting ones...we can trust Ken. I know it!'
Kari watched the older girl's antics and raised her eyebrow. 'What could she be thinking?' She gave TK a side-glance that earned his understanding as she slowly got up.
"Hey Yolei? Can you come with me for a sec...I have to talk to you." All the guys looked at her and Yolei curiously. "About... erm, GIRL STUFF!" She saw all four of the boys inwardly groan, then yanked Yolei up and a little bit into the thicket.
TK and Cody watched the two girls go, the slowly turned their heads back around. "So...Davis, Ken?" TK started as her gave them questioning eyes. Cody coughed and rested his head on his hand. "We want to know why Yolei was staring at you."
"She was staring at us??" Davis said incredulously.
"Well, actually she looked like she was thinking to me." TK pointed out.
"Nah, it looked like she was daydreaming again about being the queen of... never mind. You don't want to know." Cody said, somewhat irritated. "I really don't know why she tells me that stuff anyway." The other three guys stared at him for a moment and went back to staring at their food.
"Yeah, well I bet she likes Ken." Davis pointed out before chomping into a sandwich. Ken coughed a bit then looked at Davis.
"You saw too? She was staring at me a lot, I noticed." There was silence for a moment when all eyes were one Ken.
"What?" He defended. "Just when have you seen her staring at you? She was staring at me too!" Davis countered. "Hey! You soooo know that Kari likes me better than you, and Yolei said I was cool!" Davis and Ken stared at TK then Davis broke out into a laugh. "Hahhaha, in your dreams Hat Boy!!" "Hat Boy!?? What about you? Goggle Boy!"
"I actually believe those are Tai's goggles, so technically..." Cody cringed at the look Davis and TK gave him. So, he went over to where the Digimon where resting up, not wanting to be in the line of fire. 'Trying to be so macho...' he thought as he sat down.
"I think I'm the one who has the most girls after him." Ken said rather smugly to break the concentration of Davis and TK.
"Oh yeah right! That's just because you're a genius and complete jock at the same time!" Davis wailed.
"This is stupid! What are we fighting over again?? Yolei??!" TK said wide-eyed. Ken and Davis stared back for a minute or two.
They all sat back down in unison. In silence.
"This conversation never happened." Davis stated. The others nodded, and set back to the task of eating, but a familiar helmet flew out of the woods and bonked Davis on the head. The boys grew stiff and waited for what was about to come.
* From time of departure *
Kari had yanked Yolei out of the clearing and into the thick bushes of the Digital World. She let of a small sigh and turned her back to see if anyone had been following her.
"So Kari! Why'd you bring me out here? I'm hungry ya knooow!" Yolei squeaked into Kari's ear as she tapped her shoulder.
"Shhhssh! Yolei! You don't want the guys to hear you do you?" She cocked her head and got an understanding "oooohhh" from the older girl in front of her.
"So what's the news?" whispered Yolei, taking her helmet off to brush the hair out of her eyes.
"I thought that the guys were uncomfortable around you, so I brought you out here to talk about it." Yolei stared at her.
"And exactly WHY would you think that?!" She whispered in a very firm voice. "Well, you were staring at Davis and Ken. I think they noticed and I wanted to know if anything was on your mind."
Yolei blinked in remote surprise then adjusted her glasses. "Well actually I was thinking that you, TK and Cody should forgive Ken like Davis and I have."
"So that's what it was!"
"What did you think it was?" Yolei quirked.
"I thought you might have had a crush on Ken or Davis!" She smiled and turned around to head back.
"Oh yeah Kari, everything has to be about love eh?" This remark granted her a surprised glance from Kari and Yolei smirked. "This from the owner of the Digimental of Love!"
"Look. I'm concerned. Ken needs to feel secure with us. He's never really been on a team like this! He needs to be welcomed, and we ALL have to welcome him." She crossed her arms and frowned. "Plus, like TK said, there must be a new darkness and he's one strong ally."
"Or enemy..." Yolei heard Kari state softly as they walked back quietly.
They both started when they heard a commotion happening at the clearing and broke into a run. But they stopped just as quickly to witness Davis, TK and Ken arguing their heads off.
"Hmmph, it really does look like they're a lot more comfortable now that I'm gone." Yolei said sarcastically and stooped down to watch.
"What are you doing? I think we should go and break up this fight, Yolei."
"Reeeelaax. And miss a good chance to hear what our guys say when the girls are away? Never!" Reluctantly, Kari sat down next to Yolei. She giggled.
"I was hoping to grace TK and Davis with my appearance though. I like to see the look on their faces sometimes. It can be really funny."
"Blah! Teaser." Yolei quipped as she pulled a few branches out of her way.
Kari just smiled and fixed the clip in her hair.
"This is stupid! What are we fighting over again?? Yolei??!" They both heard with large eyes and shocked expressions.
"What did they just say??" Kari said in a small whisper to Yolei. Yolei couldn't believe it herself.
"Woah... they talk about ME!!"
"Shhhsshh!!!!!! Yolei!" Kari hissed as they both dropped to the digital forest floor.
"hehehe, oooh yeah. Here I come blackmail!" Yolei grinned crazily.
"Oh c'mon Yolei. Don't go doing that, they're our friends!" Kari said, suppressing a giggle.
"Oh please! They know they want me! Look at this body!" Yolei said standing up and giggling as softly as she could.
"And look at these eyes, and hair!!" She flung the helmet off but it flew out of the protection of digi-trees. "ooops..." Yolei snickered as she and Kari jogged out to join the young men.
* * *
Davis gulped as he saw Kari and Yolei come out of the trees. 'Oh boy...' he thought and he scanned his brain to find the best excuse to why he, Ken and TS were fighting over Yolei. 'No, I wasn't fighting over her!! I was just trying to look like all the girls love me...ohh who am I kidding?'
"Heeey guys! What have you been up to?" Yolei teased as she sauntered up to the trio before sitting down in between Davis and Ken. It was a tight squeeze, of course, but she managed to force her way in. The two boys looked at her nervously before moving over to give her more room.
"So!! Did we miss anything?!!" Yolei yelled cheerfully as she clapped both her hands on Ken and Davis' backs.
"No...nothing!" Coughed Davis as he rubbed his sore back.
"Oh.." Ken just sat uncomfortably, his face etched with surprise. Yolei smirked and Kari just giggled and reached for some more food.
"I.. think it's about time I head off you guys. Wormmon and I have a whole sector we've been working on for a while..." Ken received curt nods from the other Digidestined and a creepy glance from Yolei. He blinked, 'I really don't need this..."
Ken hastily got up from where he was sitting and brushed the digital blades of grass off of himself. Rubbing the back of his neck slightly he made a brisk walk over to Wormmon and the others.
* * *
"You know what guys? Maybe we should have told Ken to watch out in that field? Remember we had to run away from those crazy Tortomon? My god... I didn't think I'd see more than one at a time... In a VERY long time." Davis said and he and Veemon shivered in remembrance of their last meeting with a Tortomon.
"Oh Davis! I can't believe we forgot to tell him." Kari said as she looked back to where they had been, which was far down the path now. "Maybe one of us should go tell him?"
"That's true. It would be terrible if he was attacked by surprise all alone like that..." TK reasoned as he looked back too.
"I agree with this. It wouldn't be wise if..." Cody dually noted but cut off. "Then it's settled! Aquillamon and I will fly over there real quick, spot Ken, give him the tip of the day, then be back here in no time!" Yolei stated while doing hand actions to go along with her plan. She gave them thumbs up and Hawkmon digivolved.
The other Digidestined waved as she got higher into the air and Kari just shook her head. 'That Yolei...'
* * * (He just had to be in the field didn't he?)
'I know I really should join them...but I just can't. I have to do this alone, like everything I do. I work best alone, don't I?' Ken walked along with Wormmon in his arms through a long field that bridged the forest with the mountain range.
"Dark Spires... they're everywhere, Ken." Wormmon sighed sadly as they pressed on, together. Suddenly, the dirt around them started to rise and Ken's hair was blown into disarray. They both squinted their eyes as a huge form floated down beside them.
"Heeeyyyyyyy KEN!!" he got poked in the arm by the mauve-locked girl. Yolei.
"Oh, hi Yolei. What is it?" He suppressed a sigh, 'Why do they still keep trying to get me to join their group? I'll join when I'm ready!!'
She looked at him sternly then smiled. "Ken, the others and I just wanted to let you know we ARE concerned about you, so I was sent to warn you about the ridiculous Tortomon in this field. Can you believe it?? TORTOMON!!! In a field!!!" Yolei went on and on about Tortomon and how they were in this particular field as Ken peered around him.
"Well, I appreciate it Yolei, really! But, I don't see any digimon here except for Aquillamon and Wormmon, so maybe I should get going before some digimon do show up?" He cocked his head at her smiling, and she stopped her rambling about Tortomon.
"Oh! Right! Well don't let me keep you Mister Workalone!" She grinned and he frowned slightly, good-natured of course.
She leaned in and whispered, a frown on her lips and a crease in her forehead. "Don't tell, but I'm sorry. I was actually stalling. You know? I don't like fighting at all, and when I get an opportunity to get out of a fight, well, I do!" She grinned, and replaced her helmet. "Our secret, 'kay Ken?"
When he nodded she smiled and put her hands on her hips. "I better go though, " her mouth twisted into a funny shape and she stuck her tongue out. "The others will get all angry with me for spending to much time with a guy like you Ken! "
He smiled sadly. "Don't worry about it, I'll join you guys soon enough. You really should get back." He smirked. "But try not to pester me about joining again??" Yolei winked but her expression changed when she heard a shrill cry.
"WATCH OUT KEN!!!!"
"TAKE COVER YOLEI!!!"
Their Digimon swiftly blocked them from the oncoming predator. "Wormmon what is it??!" Ken questioned quickly.
"C'mon Ken I gotta digivolve!!" And he did, Ken called the command but he and Yolei hadn't a clue what was going on.
"Ken! What is it?? IT'S THE TORTOMON RIGHT!??? IN THIS FIELD!!" She screeched and started to wring her hands.
"Calm down!!!" Ken yelled as a fast moving object, possibly a Dark Spire Digimon, jetted around through the tall grass. "C'MON STINGMON!!!" He yelled. The wind created by the unknown digimon and the beating wings of both Stingmon and Aquillamon threw dust in his eyes. Fortunately, Yolei had large spectacles to shield hers.
"SWITCHING COLLISION" The Digimon called Switchmon yelled.
"WAH! Ken, are you ok???!" Yolei said as she stumbled over to him.
"Yeah, I am!! Now get out of my-" but he didn't get to finish his angry order as they were both sent falling when something hit them both. Hard, of course.
"Stingmon! Finish him off!" boomed Aquillamon as he pulled up from an attack.
"SPINNING SPIKING STRIKE!" Switchmon disintegrated into billions of pixels in front of all their eyes.
The digimon de-digivolved and sat on the soft grass, exhausted. "Are... Yolei and Ken alright?" Wormmon inquired and they slowly made their ways to where the two lay seemingly unscathed. But how wrong had they been.
Yolei pushed herself off the ground, finding herself heavier than before. 'Funny, I don't have that many things in my backpack...where IS my backpack?' She crawled over to where her helmet was lying and picked it up, stuffing her head inside it. 'That's strange it's not fitting well.. where are my gloves? Oh, where's Ken?' She looked around... and looked at herself.
Ken opened his eyes, noting that they were not filled with sand and grit anymore than they were focussed. 'What???' he thought as a gloved hand went up to his face. 'Not right.' He thought again and adjusted the glasses that were sitting on his face. "This... is wrong..' then it hit him like a ton of bricks with a nuclear bomb in tow.
"OH HELL NO!!!!!!" He screamed in a rather high-pitched voice, which caught all his senses and strangled them.
Yolei jumped up faster than she'd ever remembered running and got to, as strange as it sounded, her body's side.
"KEN??!!!?" She was beyond startled at the voice that came out of her mouth and let go of her body's hand to grasp her mouth. Well, HIS mouth.
They stared at each other for a long while. Either one not knowing what to do, but Yolei spoke first.
"oh tell me this is NOT happening." He said in shock. 'I am Ken, I am a boy, I am Yolei...why why why??...' "WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ken clasped her hand over Yolei's, well his first technically, mouth and they stared intently at each other.
"I'm afraid to say..." Ken winced at hi... her voice. 'Oh boy..'
"That digimon somehow.. SWITCHED OUR BODIES!!@!OH MYYY GOD IT SWITCHED OUR BODIES!!!" screamed out Yolei in a masculine voice.
"SHUT UP SHUT UP!! We have to think here!!!" Screamed an equally confused Ken.
"ok...ok... so what do we do???"
"We... know that it must have been some kind of attack that hit us, resulting in this..this.."
Yolei gulped. "Well, we sure can't tell the others."
"What are you talking about?"
"Come on, this is below the embarrassment scale I work on. It will not, NOT work with the others knowing."
"...I hate to say it to my own face, but you're right. Pride is defiantly an option here."
".. so how will we do this?" Yolei inquired with a worried expression his face.
Ken studied her hands and frowned deeply. "We can let Wormmon and Hawkmon know, but this is between just the four of us. The others knowing, like you said, cannot be a good idea. We can ask our digimon about a cure or something..."
"Sounds good."
"Now we just need a good excuse why you're holding onto me like that." Ken said, a bit embarrassed at the situation she was in already. 'Why me..."
Yolei wanted to cry. This was NOT happening. Sure, strange things have happened in the Digital World, but THIS??? Sweet lord this was above all weirdness an a good dose of frightening.
"Are you good at acting, Ken?" Yolei asked in a doubtful voice.
"I suppose..."
"We're really going to need a miracle here."
"This is going to be the worst experience of my life... Can you stop holding onto me like that??!"
"Hey it's MY body!"
"But it's MY body touching yours, STOP IT!"
"Hey.... Did we miss something?" The two confused and very angry Digidestined turned to face, oh joy could it get any better? Davis, Cody, TK, Kari and all the digimon.
"Oh we're just perfect Davis!" Ken suddenly blurted out it a sickening high-pitched voice.
"Yeah! Yolei and I were just um.." Yolei searched frantically for the best damned excuse she had for being in Ken's body hugging up her own body...
"We were just going to come tell you we saw the Tortomon in this field!!!" Yolei smiled, and Ken who was completely shocked inside her feminine body just gave a shaky smile. "Yeah, that's it!!!"
The kids stared at them, trying to piece together the strange behaviour. "So, Ken..uh" "WHAT?!" The two yelled at the same time, then Yolei calming answered. "What is it Kari?" TK shook his head and fixed his hat. Cody rolled his eyes and Davis clapped a hand under his chin. "Oh.. nothing!"
Ken felt Yolei relax and let go of her. They both let out a sigh as the others started talking about how they didn't find anything and also how it was time to go back to the Real World anyway.
Yolei looked at Ken, and Ken looked at Yolei. Quietly, with muddled thoughts, they followed at the back of the group heading to a TV set heading home.
'Oh well... I guess I better get used to this fast. Not that I mind THIS body that much..." Yolei thought before being pulled back.
* * *
AND that ends the prologue to "The Impression I get". I hope to hear lots of feedback about the concept and if you like it or not. Flames anyone? I could go for some criticism. Just as long as I know how you people liked or hated it!
This fic was inspired by my warped mind and sense of humor! This is the first time I've seen a body-switching fic for Digimon. And who better to torture than the serious yet kind Ken, and the outgoing fun-loving Yolei? They'd annoy each other like hell in each others' bodies, and well... you know ^_~
Disclaimer: DIGIMON=PROPERTY OF NO ONE HERE!
SWITCHMON (bwuahhahahah god I love that name! Switchmon switch &!) = MINE
Important Notes: After they get switched, Yolei will refer to Ken (In the body of Yolei) as Ken when no one is around and vice versa. I will also call Yolei(In Ken's body) Yolei, and Ken(In Yolei's body) Ken. The rest who don't know will call Ken (In the body of Yolei) Yolei, and Yolei(In the body of Ken) Ken. Get it? I'll try and make it clear who is who. Lol, but then again Ken and Yolei will get confused from time to time too. My... we're all going to have so much fun with this.

Davis gulped as he saw Kari and Yolei come out of the trees. 'Oh boy...' he thought and he scanned his brain to find the best excuse to why he, Ken and TS were fighting over Yolei. 'No, I wasn't fighting over her!! I was just trying to look like all the girls love me...ohh who am I kidding?'
"Heeey guys! What have you been up to?" Yolei teased as she sauntered up to the trio before sitting down in between Davis and Ken. It was a tight squeeze, of course, but she managed to force her way in. The two boys looked at her nervously before moving over to give her more room.
"So!! Did we miss anything?!!" Yolei yelled cheerfully as she clapped both her hands on Ken and Davis' backs.
"No...nothing!" Coughed Davis as he rubbed his sore back.
"Oh.." Ken just sat uncomfortably, his face etched with surprise. Yolei smirked and Kari just giggled and reached for some more food.
"I.. think it's about time I head off you guys. Wormmon and I have a whole sector we've been working on for a while..." Ken received curt nods from the other Digidestined and a creepy glance from Yolei. He blinked, 'I really don't need this..."
Ken hastily got up from where he was sitting and brushed the digital blades of grass off of himself. Rubbing the back of his neck slightly he made a brisk walk over to Wormmon and the others.
* * *
"You know what guys? Maybe we should have told Ken to watch out in that field? Remember we had to run away from those crazy Tortomon? My god... I didn't think I'd see more than one at a time... In a VERY long time." Davis said and he and Veemon shivered in remembrance of their last meeting with a Tortomon.
"Oh Davis! I can't believe we forgot to tell him." Kari said as she looked back to where they had been, which was far down the path now. "Maybe one of us should go tell him?"
"That's true. It would be terrible if he was attacked by surprise all alone like that..." TK reasoned as he looked back too.
"I agree with this. It wouldn't be wise if..." Cody dually noted but cut off. "Then it's settled! Aquillamon and I will fly over there real quick, spot Ken, give him the tip of the day, then be back here in no time!" Yolei stated while doing hand actions to go along with her plan. She gave them thumbs up and Hawkmon digivolved.
The other Digidestined waved as she got higher into the air and Kari just shook her head. 'That Yolei...'
* * * (He just had to be in the field didn't he?)
'I know I really should join them...but I just can't. I have to do this alone, like everything I do. I work best alone, don't I?' Ken walked along with Wormmon in his arms through a long field that bridged the forest with the mountain range.
"Dark Spires... they're everywhere, Ken." Wormmon sighed sadly as they pressed on, together. Suddenly, the dirt around them started to rise and Ken's hair was blown into disarray. They both squinted their eyes as a huge form floated down beside them.
"Heeeyyyyyyy KEN!!" he got poked in the arm by the mauve-locked girl. Yolei.
"Oh, hi Yolei. What is it?" He suppressed a sigh, 'Why do they still keep trying to get me to join their group? I'll join when I'm ready!!'
She looked at him sternly then smiled. "Ken, the others and I just wanted to let you know we ARE concerned about you, so I was sent to warn you about the ridiculous Tortomon in this field. Can you believe it?? TORTOMON!!! In a field!!!" Yolei went on and on about Tortomon and how they were in this particular field as Ken peered around him.
"Well, I appreciate it Yolei, really! But, I don't see any digimon here except for Aquillamon and Wormmon, so maybe I should get going before some digimon do show up?" He cocked his head at her smiling, and she stopped her rambling about Tortomon.
"Oh! Right! Well don't let me keep you Mister Workalone!" She grinned and he frowned slightly, good-natured of course.
She leaned in and whispered, a frown on her lips and a crease in her forehead. "Don't tell, but I'm sorry. I was actually stalling. You know? I don't like fighting at all, and when I get an opportunity to get out of a fight, well, I do!" She grinned, and replaced her helmet. "Our secret, 'kay Ken?"
When he nodded she smiled and put her hands on her hips. "I better go though, " her mouth twisted into a funny shape and she stuck her tongue out. "The others will get all angry with me for spending to much time with a guy like you Ken! "
He smiled sadly. "Don't worry about it, I'll join you guys soon enough. You really should get back." He smirked. "But try not to pester me about joining again??" Yolei winked but her expression changed when she heard a shrill cry.
"WATCH OUT KEN!!!!"
"TAKE COVER YOLEI!!!"
Their Digimon swiftly blocked them from the oncoming predator. "Wormmon what is it??!" Ken questioned quickly.
"C'mon Ken I gotta digivolve!!" And he did, Ken called the command but he and Yolei hadn't a clue what was going on.
"Ken! What is it?? IT'S THE TORTOMON RIGHT!??? IN THIS FIELD!!" She screeched and started to wring her hands.
"Calm down!!!" Ken yelled as a fast moving object, possibly a Dark Spire Digimon, jetted around through the tall grass. "C'MON STINGMON!!!" He yelled. The wind created by the unknown digimon and the beating wings of both Stingmon and Aquillamon threw dust in his eyes. Fortunately, Yolei had large spectacles to shield hers.
"SWITCHING COLLISION" The Digimon called Switchmon yelled.
"WAH! Ken, are you ok???!" Yolei said as she stumbled over to him.
"Yeah, I am!! Now get out of my-" but he didn't get to finish his angry order as they were both sent falling when something hit them both. Hard, of course.
"Stingmon! Finish him off!" boomed Aquillamon as he pulled up from an attack.
"SPINNING SPIKING STRIKE!" Switchmon disintegrated into billions of pixels in front of all their eyes.
The digimon de-digivolved and sat on the soft grass, exhausted. "Are... Yolei and Ken alright?" Wormmon inquired and they slowly made their ways to where the two lay seemingly unscathed. But how wrong had they been.
Yolei pushed herself off the ground, finding herself heavier than before. 'Funny, I don't have that many things in my backpack...where IS my backpack?' She crawled over to where her helmet was lying and picked it up, stuffing her head inside it. 'That's strange it's not fitting well.. where are my gloves? Oh, where's Ken?' She looked around... and looked at herself.
Ken opened his eyes, noting that they were not filled with sand and grit anymore than they were focussed. 'What???' he thought as a gloved hand went up to his face. 'Not right.' He thought again and adjusted the glasses that were sitting on his face. "This... is wrong..' then it hit him like a ton of bricks with a nuclear bomb in tow.
"OH HELL NO!!!!!!" He screamed in a rather high-pitched voice, which caught all his senses and strangled them.
Yolei jumped up faster than she'd ever remembered running and got to, as strange as it sounded, her body's side.
"KEN??!!!?" She was beyond startled at the voice that came out of her mouth and let go of her body's hand to grasp her mouth. Well, HIS mouth.
They stared at each other for a long while. Either one not knowing what to do, but Yolei spoke first.
"oh tell me this is NOT happening." He said in shock. 'I am Ken, I am a boy, I am Yolei...why why why??...' "WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ken clasped her hand over Yolei's, well his first technically, mouth and they stared intently at each other.
"I'm afraid to say..." Ken winced at hi... her voice. 'Oh boy..'
"That digimon somehow.. SWITCHED OUR BODIES!!@!OH MYYY GOD IT SWITCHED OUR BODIES!!!" screamed out Yolei in a masculine voice.
"SHUT UP SHUT UP!! We have to think here!!!" Screamed an equally confused Ken.
"ok...ok... so what do we do???"
"We... know that it must have been some kind of attack that hit us, resulting in this..this.."
Yolei gulped. "Well, we sure can't tell the others."
"What are you talking about?"
"Come on, this is below the embarrassment scale I work on. It will not, NOT work with the others knowing."
"...I hate to say it to my own face, but you're right. Pride is defiantly an option here."
".. so how will we do this?" Yolei inquired with a worried expression his face.
Ken studied her hands and frowned deeply. "We can let Wormmon and Hawkmon know, but this is between just the four of us. The others knowing, like you said, cannot be a good idea. We can ask our digimon about a cure or something..."
"Sounds good."
"Now we just need a good excuse why you're holding onto me like that." Ken said, a bit embarrassed at the situation she was in already. 'Why me..."
Yolei wanted to cry. This was NOT happening. Sure, strange things have happened in the Digital World, but THIS??? Sweet lord this was above all weirdness an a good dose of frightening.
"Are you good at acting, Ken?" Yolei asked in a doubtful voice.
"I suppose..."
"We're really going to need a miracle here."
"This is going to be the worst experience of my life... Can you stop holding onto me like that??!"
"Hey it's MY body!"
"But it's MY body touching yours, STOP IT!"
"Hey.... Did we miss something?" The two confused and very angry Digidestined turned to face, oh joy could it get any better? Davis, Cody, TK, Kari and all the digimon.
"Oh we're just perfect Davis!" Ken suddenly blurted out it a sickening high-pitched voice.
"Yeah! Yolei and I were just um.." Yolei searched frantically for the best damned excuse she had for being in Ken's body hugging up her own body...
"We were just going to come tell you we saw the Tortomon in this field!!!" Yolei smiled, and Ken who was completely shocked inside her feminine body just gave a shaky smile. "Yeah, that's it!!!"
The kids stared at them, trying to piece together the strange behaviour. "So, Ken..uh" "WHAT?!" The two yelled at the same time, then Yolei calming answered. "What is it Kari?" TK shook his head and fixed his hat. Cody rolled his eyes and Davis clapped a hand under his chin. "Oh.. nothing!"
Ken felt Yolei relax and let go of her. They both let out a sigh as the others started talking about how they didn't find anything and also how it was time to go back to the Real World anyway.
Yolei looked at Ken, and Ken looked at Yolei. Quietly, with muddled thoughts, they followed at the back of the group heading to a TV set heading home.
'Oh well... I guess I better get used to this fast. Not that I mind THIS body that much..." Yolei thought before being pulled back.
