Hector had always considered himself a very lucky man. Despite often referring to himself as a “fat slob of a man,” he was married to a beautiful woman named Matilda, who worked as a ballet instructor. He come home from his plumbing job, and she’d greet him with a smile. They were very happy together.
While a spark of conflict often sets off a body swapping story, Hector and Matilda had no such strife. They simply went to bed one night as happy as ever, and woke up the next morning in each other’s bodies! Hector felt terrible; he was now in his wife’s gorgeous body, but she was stuck in his. She assured him not to worry, as she loved him and his body very much.
They both called off sick and tried to figure out a way to get back to normal, but they couldn’t seem to find a single answer. They were running out of sick days, and they’d need to go back to work. Matilda figured she’d have to give Hector a crash course in ballet, so they went to get studio to practice. He felt odd wearing tights, but he complied with his love’s requests. Then he tried to dance. With no prior instructions and no practice, he was able to pull it off flawlessly. It was like her body just somehow remembered. Matilda was nearly in tears. She wasn’t sure if she was proud or happy or sad or what. She still hoped they’d swap back to normal before too long, but as she watced him dance, she knew she would love her husband no matter what, even if he was stuck in her body forever.
