A mess up of grand proportions

    by: Shadow Writer Author IconMail Icon
Emily's body then picked up her head and went to the door

"I think the magic somehow made your body have a mind of it's own!" You said, thinking quickly and tackling her body to the ground. Unfortunately, when the basketball head hit the ground, the force of the impact, coupled with the elasticity of the ball and a bit of magic, immediately bounced you both back up.

Emily's body immediately started fighting you, but fortunately you had the upper hand due to better strength. You quickly managed to get the bodies arms locked behind it.

"Ow" Emily said after you wrested control.
"You felt that?" You asked, confused.
"No, that was a late response to my head falling unprotected onto the ground." She said, annoyed.
"I think I'm going to put you back now" You said, manhandling the body's neck back into the guillotine.
Holding it in place carefully, you pulled the latch. But at the last minute, the body jerked, sending your head flying right into the path of the rapdily lowering blade.

The impact immediately cut off your head from your body and then the basketball from Emily's body. The shock made you lose your grip and the Emily's body almost gleefully broke free.

Unfortunately for you, your head slid forward, immediately connecting with the severed neck of Emily's head.
"Ow!" She cried out.
"Stop wriggling!" You commanded. Emily pouted.

Thinking quickly, you used your still able body to wrest control of Emily's body.
"This might be a problem" You said. "I've got control of your body with mine, but I can't exactly put your head back on your body with my head stuck here like this. Your body would be too much of a problem to handle."
"So..."
"You won't like the only option"
"Your going to put YOUR head on MY body?" Emily asked, rather shocked.
"Do you see another option? I mean, come on, there's an insane basketball which wants your body. I mean, thats more messed up than my head being on your body for a few minutes"
