This choice: Mika Takahashi – A Japanese student • Go Back...Chapter #5I think I'm turning Japanese by: Morphology   ** Originally added by Sandyseeker, but changed to help flow in the story**
Josh blinked and looked around with confusion. He was no longer in Jenn's room, but instead he was in a strange bed, in a quiet, dark, strange bedroom. Bolting up in the bed, Josh rubbed his eyes, desperately trying to adjust to the sudden darkness. The room remained deathly silent, but gradually, he was able to make out a few shadowy shapes in the dark room - the outline of some walls and the silhouette of some furniture
"What is going on? Nani ga okotte iru?" Josh mumbled to himself, but stopped in complete and utter panic. 'Am I speaking Japanese?' He thought to himself. He had not only spoken it but was not thinking in Japanese too.
"How do I speak English? Watashi wa dono yō ni eigo o hanashimasu ka?" Josh quietly wailed to himself. He had thoroughly lost the ability to speak English. Leaping out of bed in frustration, Josh quietly crept through the darkened room with his arms outstretched trying to feel for a light switch somewhere and was relieved when he was able to find one in relatively quick order.
Flipping the switch, Josh once again found himself rubbing his eyes, this time to adjust to the brightness. As he surveyed the room that he currently found himself in, Josh could see that it was decorated in shades of pink and white, replete with cuddly stuffed animals and cutesy pictures of Japanese male teenage heart-throbs. Looking down at himself, Josh could see that he was wearing a two-piece, pink "Hello Kitty" pajama set. His bare feet sported bright, glittery pink nail polish on the toes. Examining his hands, Josh found the same sparkly polish on them as well. His hair felt longer now, falling into his face as he examined himself.
Looking around the room for clues to his new identity, Josh found a stack of school books and a small, school furnished, personal computer. He was chagrined to discover that he could read the Japanese writing perfectly. The books belonged to a girl named Mika Takahashi. Glancing around the room once more, Josh found a mirror against one wall of the bedroom. Quickly finding himself running toward it, Josh was shocked as he looked at his reflection: a pretty, teenage Japanese girl in her pajamas was found mimicking his every move. He marveled at how he was the same height as the reflection and thought back to when he was looking for the light switch that he found it at his chest height. "Have I shrunk? Watashi wa chidjinde shimatta nodarou ka?" He mumbled to himself as he looked over at the bed and found that when he needed to go back to bed, he would need to jump slightly to get into it. "This can't be happening. Son'na koto wa ari enai." He softly to himself, in perfect Japanese.
Had Jenn's stupid magic spell worked somehow? Had Josh somehow switched lives with some strange Japanese gril from the other side of the globe? "How am I supposed to contact Jenn and get her to change me back? Jen ni renraku shite gen ni modoshite morau ni wa dōsureba yoidesu ka?" He asked himself.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
