With different eyes

Special Chapter Marco and Rayleigh

Narrator's POV

Marco slowly wakes up. Something is strange, he can't figure out what. He opens his eyes and blinks to escape the sun. Wait a minute, that's not his cabin! He looks around and recognizes the now clean 's Ace's, isn't it? Did he get drunk and get the wrong room and get into bed with Ace? But Lucia would probably have something against that, although knowing the little one as he does, she would have simply looked for a new bed and then teased him about it in the morning. The only problem is, he can't remember having drunk at all! Ace seems to be on a cuddle course, because he has his arms around him. Growling, Marco slams his elbow into Ace's stomach to get him to let go. Marco hears Ace grumble, but he lets go of him and turns to his other side. Yawning Marco gets up, he would be upset but as much as they drink here it happens more often that someone ends up in the wrong bed. Marco blinks irritated, something doesn't fit here at all. Have the objects gotten bigger? Have the idiots mixed something into the food. Annoyed, Marco runs his hand over his face and goes into the bathroom, he urgently needs some water in his face to clear up, then he can make his way to his cabin and carry Lucia out of his bed. He slaps the cold water on his face and looks in the mirror. Shocked he can't move! This can't be true! Marco swallows and looks at his hands, hoping that he is only suffering from an optical illusion, but he is wrong: his hands are small, delicate and soft. Women's hands! Nothing compared to the rough paws he usually calls his own. Shit, he's stuck in Lucia's body!

Lucia's POV

Slowly I come back to the surface of my consciousness. The beautiful calm darkness gives way to light and with it immediately a problem. Why can't I move my body and why the hell am I standing in the bathroom looking at myself? "What the hell?" I hear a voice say. Surprised I ask: "Marco?" "Lucia?" he asks the counter question. I want to nod but realize that I can't. "Yep!" I say calmly instead. "I AM IN YOUR BODY!" he yells loudly. "Yep," I say, amused. "WHY ARE YOU SO CALM?" he continues to yell. I shrug my shoulders inwardly and reply, "I've been in Ace's body, yours, Law's, Garp's, and because it was so funny, Akainu's. At some point you take it with humor," I say. Marco groans annoyed and says: "How do I get rid of you again?" "At some point you disappear again!" I wonder what his body is doing? He growls and runs his hand over his face. I would have sympathy, but honestly it's nice that it hits someone else. I giggle softly, but since I share a head with Marco, he hears it of course. "What's so funny?" he asks sourly. "I'm imagining the faces of the others when they realize that their big bad Vice suddenly has boobs!" I say now laughing out loud. Oh god no wonder Ace used to laugh at me, this is delightful. Speaking of Ace, he has just woken up and comes into the bathroom. Stupidly he doesn't know that I'm not me and so he does what he always does in the morning: He wraps his arms around one waist and gives me a kiss on the mouth. Marco seems to be caught in a state of shock and doesn't do anything against it. I snort suppressedly. But when Ace pushes his tongue into my mouth, or rather Marco's mouth, the phoenix has had enough and he knocks Ace down. I can't take it anymore and laugh my head off. Marco got a high red head and clenched his fists. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" he yells at Ace. I can't stand laughing anymore. "AND YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT UP THERE!" he yells at me now, but I just can't stop.

Ace, on the other hand, is sitting on the floor with a bleeding nose, confused, and no longer seems to understand the world. "Lucia, what's going on?" he asks me, confused. "I AM NOT LUCIA!" roars Marco further, great I'll probably be hoarse tomorrow. "Say Ace can you hear me?" I ask Ace curiously. He tilts his head and says, "Yeah, but why aren't you talking to me normally and why are you so mad?" Oh I feel sorry for the fire lighter right now, NOT! I grin evilly and say, "Because Marco is controlling my body right now and he's the one yelling!" I laugh softly again as I see it start to work in his brain, then his eyes get huge and he starts yelling, "I KISSED MARCO?!" I start laughing again as Ace runs to the sink and rinses his mouth out. I wonder if I should be offended because it's actually my body. "I don't want to get in the way of your love, but please not in my body," I tease them both. "LUCIA SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" the two yell in unison. Nice they are in agreement again. I make kissing noises they both hear. "Lucia, when you're you again, you get to scrub all the bathrooms in the Moby!" growls Marco. "That was worth it to me!" I admit. Ace gives Marco a nasty look, or is it referring to me? "Ace aren't you going to give me a kiss?" I laugh at the two of them. "Can it be that you are having too much fun with the situation?" Ace asks me annoyed. I just giggle. "I need breakfast!" whines Ace sufferingly and walks out of the room. Marco wants to follow him, but I quickly say: "Marco, I think you should get dressed first!" Marco looks down at himself and sees that I am only half dressed. "Actually I should go into the dining hall like this, purely out of revenge," he says with a grin. "Then have fun explaining that to Ace!" I say with a shrug. Ace would just drag him back to the room. Marco rolls his eyes and then gets dressed anyway. He follows Ace into the dining hall, which is already packed. Only unlike usual, "Lucia" doesn't sit down next to Ace, but annoyed on the other side, opposite him.
