The Switch
A/N: Since laughter is the best medicine, then I'll make a humor genre ; )
Actually, I was having confusion in writing this that I needed a flow chart just to keep track of who's who. Haha! Stupid me!

"At last! My latest invention was finished! I can't wait to have it tested on human subjects!" Exclaimed a euphoric Giannini. After so much blood and sweat (and falling hair whenever he pulls it in frustration), his new "baby" was born. "Well then, where can I get a human guinea pig?" the inventors face fell to a frown, but then suddenly brightened up. "Eureka*! I need to find Reborn!" He hurriedly picked up a white colored device that looks like the ten-year bazooka, but only smaller in size. Giannini then climbed up to his strange hovering machine and flew away from his laboratory towards Namimori.
30 minutes later….
"Hey Tsuna, do you know why Reborn called a meeting on the rooftop?" A curious Yamamoto asked, his ever present (I mean most of the time), grin on his face.
"I have no idea, but..." Tsuna sighed, feeling his internal alarm system in full blast. Oh, right, he has this thing called hyperintuition.
"Don't worry, Tenth-" Gokudera was not able to continue when upon opening the door to the rooftop, he saw Giannini smiling brightly, with a mysterious invention on his hands. "Ok, I take that back, we should be worried."
Yamamoto and Tsuna just laughed nervously. Of course they have all the right to be worried. Giannini proved to be an amazing inventor 10 years from now, yes, no objections to that. But this is the PRESENT.
Ryohei was already there, upon hearing that there was a meeting, he got EXTREMELY excited and dashed to the rooftop at once. Even Mukuro was present (don't bother how he got out of vendicare). But Hibari was the most punctual of them all. Taking a nap on his favorite spot on this side of the school, he was already there before everyone had knowledge about the meeting. Of course it was Reborn who had disturbed him from his slumber, because if it was anyone else, they would surely be bitten to death.
"Alright, everyone is here. All that's left is Reborn." said Giannini. Suddenly, a loud scream came from the…sky?
"Gyahhhhh! How dare you do this to the great Lambo-sama! Put me down!"
And there was Lambo, flailing his arms wildly, tied on his feet and dangling like a bungee jumper. The other end of the rope was held by Reborn who is falling from the sky with Leon-turned-parachute.
"Shut up, stupid cow, or I will really drop you down, six feet below the ground." Reborn said with a menacing voice.
Lambo froze.
"Gotta-stay-calm-waahhh!" and the poor cow kid continued to cry, snot falling from his nose. The people on the rooftop carefully dodged the falling "threat". But one was not lucky enough…
"Haha!Gokudera, what's that in your hair?" asked Yamamoto.
A vein on someone's forehead popped. Then in a matter of a millisecond, dynamites flew everywhere. The rope where Lambo was tied snapped, and down came down the cow, screaming for his life. And Giannini, poor Giannini, was caught unaware by the explosion and his invention flew out of his hands. It went flying….flying…flying…a few somersault...then…KABOOOMM!
White smoke engulfed the unlucky souls (Tsuna and the gang obviously). The inventor was able to escape since he was thrown at the edge of the rooftop, thanks to the explosion, and was saved by Reborn. Cough can be heard in the midst of smoke. No one really knows what's happening in the center of the chaos since the smoke is too thick to allow visibility.
"You stupid cow! If I got infected because of your snot, I will blow you to pieces for real!" scolded a small voice.
"Why are you EXTREMELY angry to yourself, cow kid?" asked/yelled a confused pineapple headed teen
"Wahhhh! It's not my fault!" a silver haired bomber lying on the floor wailed, kicking his feet while crying loudly.
"G-gokudera? Is something wrong?" A black haired teen asked, surprise and concern evident on his voice.
"Kufufu! Why do you care? A change of heart, skylark?" A brown haired teen asked with amusement.
"What are you talking about, Herbivore?" Replied a tall teen.
"Haha! Why does everyone's voice sounded weird?" A grinning boy with bandaged hands asked.
Suddenly, a heavy gust of wind blew the thick smoke away, revealing a group of completely disoriented people.
"Everyone! Are you ok?" Giannini quickly ran towards them, but…..
"HIIEEEE! Why am I holding tonfas?" Tsuna quickly throw it away.
"Tenth! Are you hurt?" Gokudera immediately dashed to his boss side, but unfortunately, he tripped. Struggling to stand up again, he noticed something VERY WEIRD, and shock fell over him. "Why am I wearing a cow printed pants?"
Giannini's jaw dropped to the ground. "Oh no! I'm sooo dead!"
"This is very interesting." Reborn said with voice full of amusement. "What was that invention of yours for?"
All eyes went to a very, very nervous Giannini. Of course he has to be. Who knows what these group of psychotic people will do to him after they heard what he will be saying.
"I-It's a p-person-n-nality s-switching d-device. I-I m-made it t-to con-confuse e-enemies…." The "so-dead" inventor explained, his voice trailing to a whisper, hoping with all the hopes in the world that his last sentence will be taken as justification and would somewhat lessen his upcoming "punishment".
"Hmm…you really made one hell of a confusion inducing device, even I who was an onlooker is totally confused myself," Reborn eyed the very agitated group, and can't help but have a smirk. "Well then, to identify which of you is which, answer me when I call your name. Tsuna?"
"I'm here, Reborn." Hibari(Tsuna) raised his hand meekly. Everyone's eyes widened, well except the real Hibari who, in turn, glared at Tsuna(himself?), feeling very, very pissed upon seeing his carnivore image changed to a herbivore.
"Gokudera?"
" Here." Lambo(Gokudera)raised his small hands. " F***ng s****t! Why am I trapped in this stupid cow's body! But don't worry Tenth, this pathetic form will not hinder me from being your right hand man!"
Reborn almost laughed, but rather chose to maintain an impassive face. "Yamamoto?'
"Here!" Came a cheerful reply from Ryohei(Yamamoto), not really minding the switch, and seems to be having fun (well, isn't he most of the time?).
"Lambo?"
"*Snif..gotta-stay-calm...gotta-stay-calm…gotta-stay-calm..*snif" Answered a crying Gokudera(Lambo). Seeing this, the real Gokudera was ready to explode again but was calmed by Hibari(Tsuna), which caused Yamamoto (apparently Hibari), to twitch an eyebrow, which caused Ryohei(Yamamoto) to laugh merrily, which caused the rest to just sigh.
"Well then, on to the next one. Ryohei?"
"I'm extremely here!" Mukuro(Ryohei) responded with full vigor, fist punching in the air and all. The real Mukuro smiled ruefully, quite uncomfortable at looking himself acting so bright.
" Hibari?"
"Hn." Came a smug reply from Yamamoto (Hibari).
"And that last one. Mukuro?"
"Kufufu…I must say that because of this incident, I have successfully possessed Tsunayoshi's body", Replied Mukuro, very pleased with the situation they're in.
" Why you! You better not do anything funny to Judaime's body or else-"
"Oya? What can you do cow-Gokudera?"
"That's enough Lambo and Tsuna, I mean Mukuro, Gukudera." Reborn interjected. He shifted to face Giannini. "How long is the effect of this invention?"
"I'm not sure for humans, but based on the tests I done with white mice, I say about a day." The inventor explained without stuttering this time. He felt a little less nervous since he was not attacked, yet.
"A DAY?" Everyone exclaimed in unison. Giannini quickly hide behind Reborn (as if it was possible to hide behind a baby who is way smaller than himself).
"What mess has you put us into, herbivore?" Yamamoto(Hibari) slowly approached the trembling inventor, killing intent seeping out with each step.
Ding!Dong!
"Oh, your class break is over, you better get back to you classes. Anyway, it's only a day, so just try pretending to be the person who you are currently in now. Think of this as training, or a challenge if you prefer. Being a mafia means you could adapt to any situation that comes you way." After Reborn's speech, he picked up Lambo/Gokudera.
"Where are you taking me Reborn? I will stay at Tenth's side!"
"No. It would create a scene if people see you following Tsuna around. Let Lambo handle it."
"That's exactly why I should stay! Who knows what shameful act that stupid cow will show using my face! Tenth!" Lambo(Gukodera)'s voice slowly fade away in the distance as Reborn carried him away, riding together with Giannini in his hovering machine.
The remaining bunch of teens on the rooftop slowly looked at each other.
Hibari(Tsuna) spoked first. "Uhm, I think I should go to the disciplinary office," He nervously picked-up the tonfa he thrown away awhile ago then looked at Yamamoto(Hibari).
"Watch what you say or do Herbivore. I'll be eyeing you very closely, and if ever you commit a single mistake in pretending to be me, I'll bite you to death".
"HHIIEEE-"
"AND DON'T YOU DARE SCREAM LIKE THAT!"
"Hie-"Hibari(Tsuna) was about to scream again, but was stopped abruptly by the deathly glare of Yamamoto(Hibari). "Hn." Tsuna continued instead, trying to copy the curt reply of his Cloud Guardian.
"Better." Then the real Hibari started to walk away.
"Wait myself! I mean Hibari!" Ryohei (Yamamoto) called out. The other stopped then turned around.
"You must smile! Smile!"
Yamomoto (Hibari) twitched. The others held their breath, then looked at Ryohei(Yamamoto) with eyes similar to those giving condolence. Then they heard a sigh coming from the head prefect, and…
*SMILE*
Everyone's eyes bulged from their heads, totally petrified by Hibari's perfect imitation of the baseball idiot's electrifying smile. The latter simply turned around and left, with a grin on his face.
"That was an extreme acting! Yamamoto, you should imitate me also to the EXTREME!" Then Mukuro ( Ryohei) lifted his right fist to the air.
"EXTREME!" Ryohei (Yamamoto) followed, easily imitating the ways of the Sun Guardian. Mukuro (Ryohei) nodded in approval, followed by a thumbs up. After that, Yamamoto went to the boxing club where he would play his intended role.
" Kufufu, I should keep going then. Don't worry, Tsunayoshi, I'll take a REALLY good care of you body, kufufu! By the way, just go to Kokuyo and wait there, Sun gurdian " And the Mist Guardian in Tsuna's appearance left without a care. Surprisingly, Lambo (who was already calm and had stopped crying) also followed, knowing that Gokudera always follow Tsuna around. Hibari (Tsuna) gave a sigh of relief.
"I'll go ahead Tsuna! Good luck to the extreme!" Mukuro (Ryohei) run away and headed to Mukuro's hideout, leaving a cloud of dust on his trail.
And Hibari (Tsuna) began his steps towards his doom (if ever he acted un-Hibari like, that is), his mind full of worries for the chaos that will be surely happening very soon. Oh yes, very, very soon…..

Please let me know what you think of this fic of mine. I admit I'm not really good at this since I'm a beginner on this fandom, so please do review. On next chapter, I'll be using only Tsuna (who is actually Mukuro) instead of Tsuna (Mukuro) or Hibari(who is actually Tsuna) instead of Hibari (Tsuna) and so on and so forth.
So prepare yourself for the commotion in Namimori middle! ; )
