Leo is eating an apple. All those pirates (and by all, he means two) kept doing it!




He is also no longer in a cell! He has been out for a while! Isn't that nice?

"Hi, Mr. Leo!"

Duck is so distracted by her enthusiastic waving that she trips right over a waitrat and goes skidding across the floor.

[ginsu_master]

Leo leans out to catch the rather confusing Duck girl--

And somehow, through the power of PLOT POINT, gets taken down with her flailing and falls backward.

Onto something.

[ginsu_master]

. . . that's weird. Usually when Duck goes flailing into someone, she ends up on top of the pile. But it feels like there's someone on top of her!

She blinks up, and sees . . .








"QUACK!"







(The weirdest part is, ten seconds later, she's still not a duck.)

[reallyaduck]

Leo sits up. And stares down. At himself.




He blinks.



Reaches back and tugs a long orange braid over his shoulder and stares at it. Then stares at himself. Then the braid.



"...well."

[ginsu_master]

"But I'm - but you're - but I'm - but I'm over there and -" Duck gibbers, flailing Leo's hands wildly, and takes another look.

. . . . and then flails even more, because it's just as weird the second time. If not weirder.

"- and I'm not even a duck and - what happened?"

[reallyaduck]

Leo just watches himself flail. Really, he didn't know his elbows could bend that way. Good thing to know!

He hops off his chest (what a sentence!) and sits in indian style on the floor next to... himself. This is going to get old very quickly.

"Duck. Calm down."

[ginsu_master]

"But you're me!" wails Duck.


Duck would think it was an externalized representation of her conscience, except Duck's conscience isn't very good at remembering to calm down either.

[reallyaduck]

"Yes, and you are me. These things happen." Ask Leo about past adventures some other time, Duck!

He stands up and quivers for a moment (at least she's a dancer! There is good muscle strength there! ...kind of!) before taking a step. Then another. He decides then and there that he hates high heels, and will never ask a woman to wear them ever. Off those go!


Crap, he's in a skirt. He shoves the floofy thing down starts to investigate the general area where they two of them fell.

"Duck, help me look for what caused this. Look. Do not touch."

[ginsu_master]

Duck scoots herself - not-herself - whoever she is right now hastily backwards, squinting over her - not-her - knees.

"It's like . . . it's like . . ."

What was that thing that Tutu did the other day? With Trowa and the other guy and -

"- our hearts are switched?"

Sometimes, Duck is slow.

[reallyaduck]

"Yes." If that helps her understand, yes, Duck! That is exactly what happened.

"And now we need to find what caused that switch. So that we can undo it. Does that make sense?"

He tries to smile and hopes that is working right on this face. Girls are odd.

[ginsu_master]

"Princess Tutu could fix it! But -"

A hand flies up to Leo's throat, and then over to the pendant swinging at Leo's neck; Leo's brow furrows, and Duck shakes her head.

"- but I can't become Princess Tutu like this, so - so . . . yeah!"

She jumps abruptly to her feet, all of a sudden made entirely of determination.

"We gotta find out what did this and get back to normal!"
