Squidward's Silent Love (Squidward X Silent! Reader (Broadway version))

Chapter Thirty-Five: Freaky Friday

Since it was a Sunday, Squidward and I were taking a Sunday stroll. We walked past Sandy's tree dome and she walked out noticing us. She said hello to us and I greeted her back. Getting straight to the point, she asked if we wanted to help her test her new invention. Squidward asked what it was and she told us it was a teleporter.  We agreed and we went into her tree dome and Squidward put on an air helmet.

We stepped inside the cylinders and Sandy turned on the teleporter. A strange feeling coursed through my whole body and I closed my eyes waiting for this to be over. The machine stopped and I opened my eyes to see I was still in the same cylinder. Squidward and I walked out to see a confused-looking Sandy. She was sure that it was supposed to work but it didn't. Sandy said she'd keep working on it so the two of us left and continued our stroll.

Narrator's POV:

Squidward woke up the next day... not in his house... He was in (Y/N)'s house, in her bed, and in her Pyjamas?! Now he was confused. He remembered being in his house that night so what was he doing in (Y/N)'s house? Squidward looked down at himself to see (slightly) longer hair fall in front of his eyes that clearly wasn't his.

Confused, Squidward went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see... (Y/N)!? Squidward screamed in shock at what he was looking at. How was he (Y/N)? What was happening? Meanwhile, at Squidward's house, (Y/N) woke up in Squidward's bed instead of hers.

She already knew something was off because, well, she wasn't in the right house, most of her hair is gone and she could feel the extra legs behind her. (Y/N) clumsily walked over to the mirror in the bedroom to see... Squidward! (Y/N) was also confused but didn't scream like Squidward did. Once the two awkwardly got dressed, they met outside.

"(Y/N)! What's happened to us?" Squidward asked in (Y/N)'s voice but in his tone of voice.

"You expect me to know?" (Y/N) asked in Squidward's voice but a little girly.

"No..."

"Do you think the teleporter did this to us?"

"Maybe."

They went to Sandy's tree dome and rang the doorbell. Sandy let them in and they explained what happened.

"So y'all switched bodies overnight?" Sandy asked them.

"That's what we think," Squidward said.

"I can put you two back in the machine and hopefully y'all return to your bodies."

The two lovebirds went back into the cylinders and Sandy turned on the machine. The same feeling from yesterday coursed through them but quickly stopped. The two walked out and nothing happened.

"It didn't work!" Squidward said.

"It'll probably work overnight just like it did before," Sandy explained.

"So... we have to go to work and live like this for the rest of the day?" (Y/N) asked.

"Yeah."

While Squidward and (Y/N) walked to work, they decided to switch jobs to make things look normal when, really, nothing normal was going on. The two tried to act like each other throughout the day but it was quite hard for both of them. Thankfully, they managed to do it with no suspicions. Once their shift ended, (Y/N) went to Squidward's house and Squidward went to (Y/N)'s house. Squidward decided to do something he hasn't done for years. Bit of backstory: Squidward once had long blonde hair but decided to cut it and dyed it to the color it is today so Squidward wanted to braid his girlfriend's hair. Or... his? Once he was finished, he admired his work and admired how his girlfriend looked with her hair braided.
(A/N: long hair)

(A/N: short hair)

"I wonder why she never puts her hair up, this new hairstyle looks good on her," Squidward said out loud.

Being curious, Squidward looked through (Y/N) cloths to see if she had any other outfit then the ones he always/has seen her in. He spotted a Steampunk dress, gloves, and top hat which he has never seen before. He decided to try it on to see how it looked on her and he thought she looked amazing.

"Why has she never worn this?" Squidward asked.

Meanwhile, with (Y/N), she was looking through Squidward's self-portraits. He definitely had a lot of them and only a few of her because he's still getting used to drawing her. (Y/N) didn't know what to do so she just watched TV and made some dinner. Squidward, however, was looking over (Y/N)'s new and completed song 'Step in Time'. He recognized one set of lyrics which he remembered being asked to sing in a cockney accent. Squidward still found it amazing that the former silent girl could write such a brilliant song like this one.

'If you need us if you don't. Doesn't make much odds we'll be watching over you. Brushes, brooms and brushes, brooms and brushes, brushes, brooms and rods,' Squidward sang in the accent.

The two eventually went to bed and awaited the next day. After what felt like an eternity, they both woke up in their own bodies and homes. (Y/N) noticed the slight mess Squidward made in her room. The music sheets, a few clothes that were, thankfully, neatly folded, hair and in her steampunk dress. She couldn't help but giggle at the thought of Squidward trying on her clothes in her body.
