Logan didn't always have a reason for some of the things he decided to create in the Mind Palace. As strange as that may be considering he was the logical Side, sometimes, he just wanted to indulge his scientific mind. In this case, he really wanted to invent a teleportation device.

He'd been working on it in his lab nonstop since he came up with the plans. He couldn't sleep or eat until it was finished, which was honestly fine because it wasn't as if he was a real human being with those survival requirements anyway.

To Patton though, it was bad for him and not healthy. He'd tried already to explain to him that they didn't have health in the normal sense. This didn't deter him in the slightest.

It didn't surprise Logan when the moral Side came knocking on his laboratory doors one morning. He was high up, on one of the teleportation portals as he welded together two panels of metal. Patton bit down on his lip, hoping that he could convince him to take a break and eat the breakfast he'd made him.

"Hey Lo!" he called up to him.

The logical Side paused his welding, removing his shaded goggles momentarily to look and see who it was. "Ah, salutations Patton."

"I made you some breakfast! You know, they say your mind operates better after a good breakfast!" he said, hoping he sounded convincing. Logan had already gone back to welding though, and he sighed. "Logan, come on, you gotta take a break."

"On the contrary, I've just finished my invention!" he called, removing his goggles again and climbing down from the portal.

Patton sighed in relief at the news, having been worried about the logical Side ever since he started working on it. When he reached the ground, he took the goggles off completely and set his tools down.

"So what is it?" the moral Side asked as he set his tray down as well.

"It's a pair of teleportation portals," Logan began to explain with excited eyes. "If this were a real scenario, you'd build one of them in one place, and the second in another so that you could travel back and forth between the two locations with incredible ease. Obviously, we as Sides don't necessarily require such technology, as we can teleport already one our own, but I simply sought some... mental stimulation. It's been a while since Thomas has had to do anything challenging in a logical sense."

He looked at the two portals in awe. "So do they work?"

"Let's find out," the logical Side replied with a smile, grabbing his hand and pulling him toward them, completely unaware of Patton's heart skipping a beat in his chest as he did so. They stood in the first portal. "Okay, here goes nothing."

He pressed a button on the remote the moral Side hadn't seen him grab, and suddenly there was a blinding blue light.

Patton's eyes were still closed once the flash had gone away. "Did it work?" he asked softly, but his voice didn't sound like his own. It was more monotone than usual, and a little deeper. He blinked his eyes open quickly, looking down to see Logan's feet and his jeans instead of his own. He was wearing his black polo and necktie, making his eyes widen in confusion. "L-Logan?"

He looked to his left to see himself, which made him gasp out. "Patton, it's alright!" he heard himself say, but it was obvious that it wasn't him. "I think that something went wrong and we've switched bodies. That's all."

"That's all?!" he heard Logan's voice exclaim.

"Yes, it's just a little mistake in the portals' programming, that I can fix in no time. Once I have, we should be able to go back through the portals and come out as ourselves again," he watched himself say. He watched himself step off of the portal's platform and head over to the logical Side's tool table. He froze suddenly, looking a little pale. "I... I can't use them. I don't know how to use the tools because I'm in your body, with your skills."

Patton felt himself grow worried that they might be trapped in the wrong bodies forever. "What are we supposed to do then?" he heard Logan's voice ask. "Stay like this?"

"No, I'm going to walk you through fixing the machine so you can do it," he replied, moving to take his hands to calm him down. "You're fine, Patton, we can do this. We can get this fixed in no time."

He was about to reply when his stomach growled loudly. Logan pursed his lips and looked at the floor within his moral counterpart's body, feeling guilty under his own intimidating gaze. He figured it was only guilty because he knew it was Patton looking at him with disappointment and displeasure.

"We're getting you something to eat," the dad-like character said, crossing his arms over his necktie, frowning at himself because he knew that it was Logan and not actually him. "Come on."

With a sigh, the pair made their way out of the lab and out to the kitchen where the breakfast Patton had made should've been waiting, but it had mysteriously disappeared from the counter. "I thought you said you made breakfast," the logical Side said. "I don't see anything."

"Roman or Virgil must have taken it, it was just sitting there," he replied, shrugging. "I'll just make some more."

He moved toward the pantry, opening it to get the ingredients he'd need to make a batch of muffins. His face dropped when he scanned its contents in confusion. "I uh... I don't know how to cook?" he tried to explain, turning toward Logan in his body. "You're gonna have to do it."

"Oh... okay, I guess I can try."

The logical Side moved across the kitchen, seemingly on autopilot as he got out the ingredients for a batch of muffins. He mixed together the batter and poured it expertly into the muffin tin. About twenty minutes later, they had a freshly baked batch of delicious muffins.

"These are fantastic, Logan!" the moral Side exclaimed after taking a bite.

He flushed a little. "Well, it's your skills, I just followed your internal instructions," he explained bashfully.

"Oh hey guys," Virgil said, entering the kitchen suddenly. His eyes landed on the muffins. "Oh dope, you made more muffins, thanks Dad. Roman took the ones that were on the counter."

The two of them were wide eyed and in shock; of course, Virgil was addressing who he thought was Patton, but in actuality he just called Logan 'Dad'.

The real dad-like Side made eye contact with his partner, nodding toward the anxious Side to get him to respond.

"Oh, yes, you're welcome..." Logan tried, earning a raised eyebrow from Virgil. He smiled brightly and tried to think like Patton. "It's my pleasure kiddo!"

He bought it, taking a muffin and returning to his room with it as the other two sighed in relief.

"That was a close call," the logical Side admitted. "That would've been incredibly hard to explain, now come on, we've got to go fix the machine so we can return to our actual bodies."

Patton nodded in agreement and they made their way back to the lab. The moral Side put on his goggles, gigging just a little as he picked up the necessary tools to fix the teleportation portals. He climbed up onto the machine, following his instincts and beginning to fix it.

That's when the creative Side burst through the doors. "Logan! I need to know where you left your Alice In Wonderland puzzle book!"

Logan internally swore, knowing that Patton didn't have a clue where it was. "Oh hey Patton," Roman said, waving at him. He waved back enthusiastically as the prince made his way through the lab to look up at who he thought was the logical Side. He caught the moral Side's panicked gaze, mouthing 'the common room'.

"Oh, I left it in the common room," Patton said, making his voice monotone like Logan's as he lifted his goggles and arched a brow.

Roman smiled and headed back out. "Okay, thank you!"

Once he was gone, the two shared smiles. "That was a very convincing performance, Patton," the logical Side complimented, smiling.

"Thanks! Now let's get this finished!"

About ten minutes later, he'd fixed the machine; Logan had been telling the truth, it was a simple fix. They both stepped onto the platform and he pressed the button. After the bright blue flash, he blinked his eyes open to see himself.

"It worked!" Patton exclaimed, hugging the logical Side with a giggle.

"That it did. I must say, I prefer to be with you, rather than, well, being you," he replied, smiling a little at him.

Virgil walked in just then, raising an eyebrow at them. "So... what's going on here?"

The two of them shared a look, smiling as they both turned to answer the anxious Side. "Oh, nothing."
