Emma was understandably in a panic after she swapped bodies with her professor, Mr. Douglas, during an accident in an experimental lab procedure. After a few hours of looking into the data, he told her they likely wouldn’t be able to swap back for a week.
She asked about her classes. He explained that, as a professor, he’d easily be able to handle them for her. She asked about his classes. He told her he’d take the week off. She asked about her trendy appearance. He explained that he had plenty of experience observing youth trends as a professor, and that he could manage that as well.
She was placated by his answers, but in hindsight, she probably shouldn’t have been. Arriving back on campus after a week, she found Professor Douglas on campus in her body. She was distressed upon seeing him. It wasn’t exactly a trendy look -- at least not for today. Maybe it would have been thirty years ago when he went to college, but now? God, it just felt like he was embarrassing her!
It got worse. He hadn’t made any progress on setting the procedure back up! He was having too much fun being young again. As a result, it was going to at least be another week that they’d be stuck in each other’s bodies. And Emma was starting to think he was enjoying being in her body way too much and that maybe -- just maybe -- he had done this whole thing on purpose...
