Brain Swaps

Brain Swaps: Chapter 1

AN: This is everything that was in the draft I found in my old google drive. I haven't removed or added anything, I haven't even fixed typos. This is me. This is what you get. 

I don't have any more of this story. But if literally even 1 person reads it I will probably continue this nightmare just to spite them. end note. 

 "Why are we here again?" Piper called from her seat next to Jason in Bunker 9 as Leo emerged from under a white cloth covering his new machine.

"Shh! I'm about to show you my brilliant invention!" Leo hissed. He cleared his throat and snapped his fingers, causing a spotlight to shine on him and the cloth-covered something he was about to unveil. He put a hand up to block the light. "Geez, that's bright." He muttered, pulling out a remote to adjust the brightness. A moment later he was ready to unveil greatness again. He cleared his throat again, and this time was able to make his speech properly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, and Frank," He began.

"Hey!" Frank's voice called from the audience. Leo ignored it. "I have called you here today because you are about to witness history in the making, for, behold, the newest brilliant invention by Leo Valdez!" He bowed and tore away the white sheet. It came off, but draped gracefully over his head, obscuring the world in white cloth. "Agh, shoot." He tried to rip it off but stumbled into his new machine. "Okay hold on a second, this cloth was like the only one I could find and it was way too big, um, hang on this could take a minute..." He found his way out of the sheet, ignoring some giggles and continued. "Okay we're good, now you can behold." He gestured again at the machine. "Behold, the Brain-Switcherinator!"

"Who let him watch Phineas and Ferb again?" Jason called to the rest of the audience.

"My bad!" Percy said.

"So, what does it do?" Annabeth asked, intrigued.

"Take a freaking guess." Percy rolled his eyes.

"Allow me to demonstrate." Leo said. "I'll need a volunteer from the audience, perhaps you, young lady?" Annabeth got up and Leo directed her to a classic horror-movie chair and had her sit down.

"Is this anything unethical?" Annabeth asked as he strapped her down with some metal cuffs around her wrists, waist, ankles, and neck.

"Define unethical." Leo said, tightening the strap around her waist. "Don't squirm, or you might be electrocuted. Oh, and this takes a few minutes sometimes, I haven't really tested it that much yet. Nico, can you strap me in?" Leo sat down in his own chair next to Annabeth.

"What? Why do I have to do it?" Nico complained.

"Because if you don't, you don't get that cool perk I promised when I make sure the machine works, oh and by the way, you still didn't really specify, did you want me to rig it Option A or Option J? I couldn't hear you that well last night." Leo made sure his voice carried. "Remember Option A is me wiring it you to A, and J is swapping you with J, but see I can't really explain further right now due to doctor-patient confidentiality-"

"For gods' sake, Leo, shut up!" Nico snapped, his face bright red.

"Wait a sec, what or who is 'J'?" Jason asked.

"Jelly beans." Leo said, straight-faced.

"Nothing. Option J. Shut up. Since when are you a doctor?" Nico hissed, strapping Leo in so tightly the metal started burning.

"Got it. Oh and make sure you switch the machine off 'horrible fiery death' before you pull the lever. Or not, that's fine by me."
"Leo!" Annabeth called from the other chair, squirming.
