C U Soon

Nathaniel texted his own number again, and it once again replied quickly, “Sorry. About 15 min away now. C U soon.” It was the fourth time he had gotten told she should be here in about fifteen minutes. It had been over an hour now.

In all honestly, Nathaniel was getting nervous if she would show up at all. She had been aloof when he had called right after swapping into this body -- though she did agree to meet to discuss it with him. And so that when he sat outside to wait and text as the minutes passed.

He doubted she would have any answers as to how they swapped bodies, of course, but would she even be able to help him cope with being a woman? Did she even care that they had swapped bodies? Why did she promising fifteen minutes? Something didn’t feel right.

Graceful and Elegant

Lina was graceful and elegant. Nigel had seen her dance on multiple occasions, and he had always been impressed by the way she was able to move or hold positions.

But now because of the Great Shift, he was her. He didn’t feel any of that grace or elegance. He felt like he still moved in an awkward and clumsy way, no matter what body he was now in.

The morning after it happened, he had tried a few ballet moves he had seen her do, but without her training, the only thing that happened was knocking things off a nearby shelf. Would he ever get used to this?

Steve wasn’t going to take no for an answer. He wanted back to his own body and his own reality, and he wasn’t going to take no for an answer from Professor White. He began to draw on the board.

Steve explained, “Chloe, even while she’s in my body, should still have a unique signature, and not only that, her dissonance should be even more easily detectable.”

“Minimal energy is still a lot of energy,” Professor White mused, “And there’s a high probability that someone else in the entire multiverse has already detected the dissonance and honed in on it. It’s not a sure fire way back to your own body. In fact, in the infinite multiverse, it’s almost a guarantee that someone has already found it.”

“But it’s still my only hope.”

“And you might end up in a much worse situation than being Chloe if we do this...”

Nathan walked away from The Swapper and put his phone in his pocket. It actually didn’t fit so well, but he did his best. Still feeling pretty good after the ride, he ordered a corndog. He paid with his phone -- giving another look at the shorts he now wore, he was certainly glad that he didn’t bring his wallet with him today. Then he sat down nearby to eat. Just as he was about to take a bite, a man sat down across from Nathan.

“What are you doing?” The man accused.

“Uh, eating a corndog.” Nathan replied.

“That’s my girlfriend’s body. For starters, she’s a vegetarian, but you just need to come back to The Swapper and switch back.”

Nathan paused before answering. He asked, “Why isn’t she here asking me? Is she unhappy with whatever body she ended up in?”

The man seemed flustered. “She’s...fine. She almost seems....happy.”

“And so am I. I don’t see the problem here.”
