Don't Do What Doctor Don't Little Does

Roommate - Boyfriend

I was a little bit unsure of what to think at first when my boyfriend swapped bodies with my roommate. I had always found her a bit annoying, so not having to put up with her was the first plus. But I wasn’t immediately sure how I felt about my boyfriend being a woman.

It turned out not to be so bad -- at least at first. It was fun to see him develop an interest in fashion and makeup, and we began to share clothes and gossip. Plus, I was able to explore the other side of my bisexuality freely. It felt like our relationship was stronger than ever.

Then he dropped the bomb. He wanted to break up with me, because he wanted to explore a relationship with a guy. He said it like with the same ditzy blonde intonation my roommate used to use (one of the reasons I sort of hated her). I tried to hold strong. I grinned as he told me; I said I accepted it. Inside I was crying.

Magic Bowl

“Excuse me,” I shouted while looking amongst the items at the antique store, “I’m looking for an old bowl. It was here yesterday.”

“Well, if it was there yesterday and gone today, then we probably sold it,” The person behind the register shouted back.

“No, that’s impossible. The clerk yesterday told me she’d hold it. I mean, he told me he’d hold it.”

“Ma’am, I own this shop. I’m the only one who works here.”

The ‘Ma’am’ part hit me hard. The other clerk (who apparently wasn’t actually a person who worked at the store at all) had shown me the bowl yesterday and demonstrated its powers by using it to swap our genders and races. She (or I guess ‘he’ now considering he had my gender) had told me he’d hold onto it while I tried out being a woman. I had to admit I was curious, and it was a fun day, but I wanted to go back to being me. But without knowing where the clerk or the magical bowl went, I’d be stuck!

Lobby

Claire was worried, but as the elevator doors opened in the lobby, she saw that her own body was just started to open its eyes.

“Ugh...what happened?” She heard it groan.

Claire knew she’d have to act quickly. There were so many people waiting to get into the elevator, and the last thing she wanted to do was cause a scene. She spoke quickly and quietly, “Just don’t panic. We were stuck in the elevator, and it somehow swapped our bodies. So I’m in your body, and you’re in my body. I don’t know how to fix it, but just don’t freak out because there’s a bunch of people just staring at us right now.”

“So, I’m a chick now?” Her former body asked.

“Yes,” Claire whispered before helping her own body to its feet and addressing the people waiting, “She’ll be okay. She just passed out in the elevator, probably just needs some food or maybe a little coffee...”
