Year of Swaps, 2015: Christmas in Agrabah

It was lonely during the first few days of December. I had swapped into the body of Princess Jasmine of Agrabah, and was transported to the palace in the middle of the night, most likely so that she could still be “seen” in Agrabah. I could only imagine the scandals and gossip that would arise from the princess suddenly disappearing.

Anyway, I had to maintain the public image of the Princess as best as I could for about a week. Luckily, I had an attendant who kept advising me how I should behave and conduct myself during certain situations, so I was able to play the part rather well.

Finally, Christmastime rolled around. Luckily for me, Aladdin and the rest of the group was gone on an adventure, so I was able to contact Hinata, Robin, Tearju, Juvia, Korra, Asami, Blair and Jasmine and invite them and any guests they would like to Agrabah for a Christmas party. I had the servants prepare everything, then gave them the party day off.

I had finished dressing in a red top that left my shoulders, arms, midriff and some cleavage exposed while red pants covered my legs. The top also had white cotton adorning the edges to give a festive look for the holiday.

I then went down to welcome my friends, only to be trapped in a hug and thrown to the floor by an overexcited Blair…or so I thought. “Hi, hi, Mr. Kuro! Or should I call you Princess?”

“Hi, Kay; what are you doing with Blair’s body?”

“She wanted to spend a day in it,” Blair said from Kay’s body. “It’s part of my deal with Robin after I spent a month possessing her. Not only was I to cater to her whim for a month, but I also had to switch bodies with her whenever she wanted.”

“It has been interesting, to say the least,” Konan said as she approached. “She’s gotten the hang of magic, but has mostly used it to put me, Blair and herself in different outfits.”

“It’s a fun way to shop, though,” Kay said after standing up. “Tell me you haven’t loved the outfits I’ve gotten for you because of it.”

Konan sighed and said, “I never said I was complaining about it.”

“You certainly have some interesting friends, Mister…Brian, was it?” Jasmine said as she approached, with Korra and Asami close beside her. “Even if I was forced to partake in your body-swapping fun, I enjoyed spending time with your friends.”

“Sorry about the switch, Princess, but I had no choice over the selection. That was all up to Blair.”

“Oh, sure; throw me under the bus, why don’t you? I was just having a little fun!”

“By potentially causing an international incident if I happened to be found out as not being a princess? I don’t think everyone would agree with you on that!”

“I agree,” Korra said. “I’m all for a little fun, but don’t think for a second it excuses something like this.”

“I guess it’s a good thing you’re such a good actor, right?” Asami teased, lightly punching my arm.

“I’m not that good. I was mainly going on prepared speeches and proper etiquette. Anyone could’ve done that.”

“I don’t know,” Jasmine interjected. “The servants in this palace aren’t that gullible to be fooled by an imposter. Just be thankful the Genie or Aladdin weren’t here; they’d have found you out in a heartbeat.”

“Then we wouldn’t be here, right?” Noble said as he walked in, holding Robin’s arm as he led her in the room. “I’ve wondered what it’d be like to visit a palace like this.”

“I’m glad you accepted my invitation, then,” Robin said.

“Hey, Robin, where are Hinata, Tearju and Juvia?”

“Oh, they’re waiting in the ballroom.”

“They are? I just came from there and I didn’t see anything.”

“That’s because they came in a different way.”

“How?”

“I live here, remember?” Jasmine said. “I know this palace inside and out.”

“Anyway, we should get going!” Korra anxiously said, dragging Asami to where I just came and prompting the rest of us to follow.

As soon as I walked in I saw the three I was looking for…as well as another Robin. They were dressed in Christmas-themed dresses and standing in front of a group of microphones like they were about to sing.

Looking at the Robin with Noble, I asked, “Who’s the clone?”

“I am,” Noble’s Robin answered. “The real me wanted to sing, but didn’t want Noble to be alone on the dance floor.” She then held Noble in a way that meant they were about to dance.

“It wasn’t easy to get this together,” Asami said as she began to lead Korra to the dance floor. “Hinata and Tearju especially were apprehensive about the outfits, but they didn’t want to be left out of the fun.”

“Consider it my Christmas gift to you,” Blair said as she sat down at a table while Kay and Konan went to the dance floor. “You’ve been such a good sport this year, you deserved something extra special.”

Meanwhile, Jasmine grabbed me and said, “Thanks for not making a mess of things while in my body. I really appreciate it.”

“Not a problem,” I told her as we began to dance as music began to play. The eight of us danced as Hinata, Robin, Tearju and Juvia began to sing.
