Ross' POV:
"Adam?" I try and save the recording, otherwise we would have to start all over again. There's no reply, but an audible thump and then silence. I rush up from my chair, trying to get to Adam, but my legs buckle from under me. I struggle to get to my feet, seeing stars. I feel like I'm going to throw up. My arms that had been supporting me collapsed, my head banging against the floor with a sickening crunch. The darkness that had threatened to engulf my vision kept it's promise and I blacked out.
Adam's POV:
I wake up feeling woozy. I sit up, but too quickly. My hand instinctively goes to my head to try and fan the flames engulfing my skull. Realising that that isn't going to help, I move the same hand to run a hand over my hair.
Wait a second... where did my beanie go?
My hand runs over extremely close-cut hair. My vision finally returning to normal, I take a look at my surroundings. There's a little plushie of a mooshroom next to dual monitors. Fan art of Red is scattered all over a cork board, then lots more of Apple.
Why am I in Red's room? And what happened to my hair?
I struggle to my feet, using Red's desk as help. Stumbling into the hall, I spot a rather confused-looking Barney.
"Red?" He said in a very non-Barney way. I turn around but I don't see Red anywhere.
"Barney, what are you on about?" I say. My voice comes out strange, but still mine; like I hadn't spoken in a long time.
"Wait... I'm not Barney! I'm Rass- Rass...Rass...ROSS!" He clamps a hand over his mouth, looking terrified.
"Barney, is this some kind of joke? I'm Adam, not Red. And stop speaking like that..." Barney just stares at me and I give him a quizzical look.
"So your sayings....saying... that I look like Barney, and your Adam?" He looks down at himself, looking puzzled.
"Ever since we were born, yeah!" I'd started getting annoyed, "Look, let's just get on with the recording, yeah?"
Before I can say any more he takes me by the arm and starts dragging me around the office. All I can do is sigh and go along with it. He pushes me into the bathroom, grabbing me by the shoulders and positioning me in front of the mirror.
"Look, I really don't know what this is all abo-"
A get a sense of Déjà vu as I look in the mirror not to find Adam staring back at me, but Red. Ginger hair cut back short, no bangs, no facial hair, and worst of all: no beanie. I do the most logical thing and start screaming.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" I grab as much hair as I can at the sides of my head and try to make sense of my situation. The problem was that none of this made sense, so what sort of reasoning could be added to it? I try to tear my eyes from my reflection, but they' were glued.
Barney peers into the mirror beside me, looking like he knew something I didn't. "I told you! I'm Ross in Barney's body!" I start to calm down a bit.
At least I won't go through this alone...
My thoughts are interrupted by a scream coming from the direction we came from.
"That must be the others!" Barney- I mean... Ross... says, already on his way to the other offices. I have no choice but to follow him.
