Not Okay

“I don’t think we’re ever going to find it,” Roger said as he sat down on the beach that evening.

“The tides have to wash it ashore eventually. Or it just sank where Dana threw it. Either way, it can’t be too far out. We just need to be thorough.” Alice said as she searched the area where the waves met the sand.

“It’s been a year, and we’ve searched and searched each and every day. We’ve adapted to being in each other’s body and living each other’s lives. Maybe we just accept that we’re stuck as each other.”

“Maybe Dana and Mike can do that. I don’t want to be stuck as you just because she freaked out and tossed the medallion.”

“It’s not her fault. You don’t know how Mike treated her. She wasn’t thinking that she had used it to swap our bodies as well. She just wanted to be done with it; to be done with him.”

“It’s still not fair to us.”

“We’ll be okay. She wouldn’t have been.”

Her Apartment

After three days of being stuck in Angela’s body, Reid had grown tired of her games. She told him that she had hidden the medallion somewhere in her apartment, and that they could swap back as soon as Reid had found it.

Reid had yet to find it. He wondered if she was somehow coming back to move it each day, as he searched everywhere. In drawers and in the closet, under the bed and under the couch, on top of tall shelves and other hard to reach places.

What Reid had yet to realize was Angela did not mean her original apartment, where Reid was currently staying while he was in her body. She had hidden it in her current apartment -- in other words, at Reid’s place. He could search Angela’s apartment from top to bottom, and he still wouldn’t be able to find it.

Not the Plan

It was still pretty hard for Gregory to believe this little doodad could swap people’s bodies, despite the fact that he had not only used it several times now -- he had also figured out how to make it profitable.

He had always been a little bit of a sleaze, so his plan was generally simple while also being shady. Step one: Steal someone’s body. Step two: Charge them money to swap back to normal.

Of course, just about everyone was quick to agree to these terms. Everyone until Michelle. He’d been in her body for three days now, and he hadn’t heard anything -- not a phone call, not an email, not even a text message. No money had been wired into his account. It was almost like she didn’t want to swap back. And without access to her in his body, he wouldn’t be able to swap back; he’d be stuck as her. This wasn’t part of his plan.

Dig Dug

It had been three years since Zack had used the Medallion of Zulo to swap bodies with Hayley. Pretending to lose the medallion when it was time to swap back was easy enough. She took being stuck in his body better than he expected; she was upset, but it could have been much, much worse.

She hadn’t even complained or talked about it much since the swap. That made today more awkward. After all these years, it was Zack who finally wanted his own body back.

He’d have to come up with an excuse of how he had the medallion again. Maybe he’d say he just found it? Maybe he’d say there is more than one? Of course, to do this, he’d need to dig up the medallion from where he had hidden it.

However, when it went to do so, the medallion was no longer there -- which wasn’t exactly all that usual for the medallion!

2B or Not 2B (Part 2)

View Part 1 of 2B or Not 2B.

It was hard for Aaron not to kick himself about using the Medallion of Zulo to end up in the wrong body. He kept trying to put on different pieces of clothing to feel better about it, but nothing worked. This wasn’t the hot body he intended to swap with and no change of clothing was going to make it so.

He thought about trying to sleep through the twelve hours, but he wasn’t in the slightly bit tired despite the late hour.

But maybe it wasn’t all bad. He was still experiencing womenhood, even if it wasn’t the first thing on his mind. Perhaps he could even still be a little curious about his less-than-ideal body. It might at least kill some time...

Where Did It Go?

Jason had heard tons of stories about the Medallion of Zulo, and nearly every single one ended with the thing going missing. He wasn’t about to let that happen, and indeed once twelve hours was up, it was still secure around his neck.

But there was still a problem: Where did his body go?

Lana was trustworthy. There was no way she would’ve just run off to leave him stuck in her body. His first thought was something happened, and his body was in the hospital of something. But he still had the medallion, even in the worst case scenario, he had options. He went to his apartment to look for a piece of his own clothing, but it seemed cleaned out. It looked like it was robbed, but to take clothing? It seemed weird.

He returned to Lana’s apartment to think about his next steps. He could swap with someone else completely -- as he still had the medallion -- but that seemed to brash and impulsive until he knew more...

2B or Not 2B

Aaron had known about the powers of the medallion from the moment he found it. He knew about it’s ability to swap bodies and how it could transform someone simply by touching a piece of clothing to it.

And so he had been preparing for weeks buying items from stores, claiming his girlfriend or wife needed a top or shorts or whatever. Of course, the piece he needed would be far more risky to obtain.

It had to be just the right timing in his apartment’s laundry room. When somone would leave their clothes in the washer or dryer and go upstairs with no one else there. He snagged a single sock from the dryer of the woman he had a crush on in 2B -- no one thinks much when a sock goes missing. He brought it back upstairs so he could wear the medallion and touch he sock to it.

And sure enough, he began to transform into a woman -- but not the one from 2B. This woman was older -- maybe her mom? Maybe her friend? He felt silly dressing this form in the clothes he had been buying over the past few weeks, but he had little other alternatives. He’d be stuck like this for at least twelve hours...

Should've Earlier

John had realized Eileen had been putting off swapping bodies for several days now. So when he saw her walking on the street, he lept into action and pressed the medallion up against what had been his body until just a few days ago.

But nothing happened. There were no tingles. They weren’t transforming back to their own bodies.

“What the hell? We are supposed to switch back!” John shouted.

“Yeah, um, I’m sorry for not doing it earlier,” Eileen said.

“So why isn’t it working NOW?”

“Are you pregnant? Because it won’t work if --”

John cut her off, “If you weren’t pregnant, then I’m certainly not, because I haven’t been doing THAT with your body.”

“In that case, it’s probably my period...”

Video Message (Part 2)

View Part 1 of Video Message.

When Krissie got Brian’s message, she was pissed. She had already been waiting for an hour, and now he was saying she wasn’t going to show up while leaving her stuck in his body for who-know-how-long!?

No way. This wasn’t aceptable, and she tried to text back.

Message undeliverable.

He must’ve turned off his phone! She had to find him! Could she figure out which beach he was at by the video? He couldn’t have gotten too far, right? She’d force him to swap back now! As soon as possible! She couldn’t leave her stuck in his body any longer!

Empty

Michael barely had to dig through the trash at all before finding the bag devoid of the medallion. But he didn’t look at it with a sense of dread, he looked at with a sense of intuition.

“It’s empty,” He said showing it to Misu.

“Then it must have fallen out!” She replied, “We should keep looking!”

“I think we’re done, actually.”

“What do you mean? Without the Medallion of Zulo, we’ll never be able to swap back to our own bodies!”

Michael sighed, realizing this must have been Misu’s plan all along, “And that’s exactly what you wanted. You wanted to steal my body, and your plan this entire time was to leave me stuck in yours. Pretending to throw it away on accident was just part of the ruse. You needed to look desperate to want to switch back. It all means you either hid it somewhere or you tossed it some place earlier.” Michael paused for another moment to consider which Misu would do before adding, “So where did you actually toss it?”

Video Message (Part 1)

Brian knew where he was supposed to be, and he also knew he wasn’t there right now. Instead he was enjoying himself on the beach, having probably one of the best days in recent memory.

But still, he knew he owed Krissie some answers, so he took out his phone so he could send a video message. He put on his best smile as he hit record.

“Hey, Krissie, I’m obviously not at the coffee shop. I’m not on the way. I know we were supposed to meet there this morning so we could swap our bodies back to normal, but I just wasn’t ready to do that yet. I want another day with your body...or maybe a week. Don’t make me feel too guilty about it, but I sort of loved being a woman...being you. Anyway, I’m sorry. I’ll let you know when I’m ready to swap back.”

That's Rich

The medallion had allowed Anthony to steal Mandy’s life. He thought it would be better than it turned out to be. She lived in a mansion in the hills; she came from a rich family.

He knew he should’ve been suspicious when she didn’t seem upset after the swap. It didn’t take him too long to realize that it seemed Mandy’s life was falling apart. It seems her parents weren’t as rich as they seemed with their assets caught up in poor investments, which was revealed upon their deaths a few months ago. The mansion was a mess inside and falling apart; Mandy didn’t have the finances to properly maintain such a large property.

Once the twelve hours were up, Mandy had no desire to switch back. Fortunately, Anthony still had the medallion. He could probably trick someone else into taking Mandy’s life, but who?

So Far, So Good

“You said it was supposed to work again after twelve hours, so we tried to swap back after twelve hours. Then you explained that it might not be working because I started your period, so we waited until that passed. So why the hell isn’t this necklace swapping us back NOW?” A very annoyed Corey said.

Natalie shrugged. She actually knew exactly why they weren’t swapping back. That necklace Corey wore wasn’t the actually Medallion of Zulo, which she had switched out a while ago with an exact look-alike. Her entire goal was to steal Corey’s body permanently, but she needed to make this convincing. If he knew she wasn’t telling the truth, he would force her into swapping back. But, so far, so good...

The Past Few Days

As the necklace still hung around his neck still, William thought about the events of the past few days. It all started when Francine found the necklace, and they touched it at the same time. They never expected for their bodies to literally morph into each other.

While swapped, William did some research and found all about the necklace. It was something called the Medallion of Zulo. Realizing that enough time had passed, he was excited to tell Francine. However, she had assumed she would be trapped as William forever -- and ended up taking her own life.

It was difficult for him to get over. He thought about swiping a piece of his own clothing to go back to his own body, but explaining how he came back from the dead might be tricky. As a result, he decided to continue on as Francine. He still had the Medallion though. He could still swap with just about anyone else he wanted; he simply chose not to.

Cycle

Andy couldn’t believe he was still stuck in Ahra’s body. It had been well over twelve hours since they had first used the Medallion of Zulo to swap bodies, yet they still weren’t changed back after multiple attempts. Andy fell back against the couch with a sigh.

Ahra paused for a moment as she looked at him up and down before asking a simple question, “Why did you wear that? I thought you were super excited about dressing in skirts and heels and stuff while in my body?”

Andy shrugged, “I just woke up feeling...I dunno...off? I wanted to be in something comfortable.”

It was like a lightbulb had just gone off in Ahra’s head as she smiled. “I know what’s going on!” She said, “I read about it, but I didn’t think about it. It’s one particular condition of when the medallion won’t work. If a woman’s on her cycle! And you’ve probably just started mine. Trust me, it explains the comfortable clothes you wanted.”

Andy’s heart sank. He had been curious about being a woman, but he wasn’t sure he was ready to go through that aspect of it. He supposed he didn’t have a choice now though...

Why Would You Do That?

“Look, I’m sorry,” Bethany shouted over to Wesley, who she saw sitting on the beach.

He ignored her. She was the last person he wanted to talk to, but he kept approaching and apologizing.

“You just seemed so happy in my body. And everything felt so right while I was in your body. I’m sorry I tossed the medallion.”

“Do I seem happy now? Ever since you told me this would be permanent, do I look like I have enjoyed being you? Or being a woman at all? Or even embraced a feminine attitude in the slightest? I enjoyed it when I thought it was temporary. Sure. But forever? I didn’t want this forever. But you know what annoys me the most about it all? You didn’t even ask! You just made an assumption that I wanted to stay as a woman! That I wanted to stay as you! Why? Why would you do that?”

How It Works

Brad returned to the supply closet, reaching up the box where he and Judy had hidden the medallion the day prior. As he did so, he heard someone at the doorway. It was Stephen from IT; he had a big smirk on his face and was dangling the medallion in his hands.

“Looking for this?” He asked.

Brad thought about trying to snatch it back, but he didn’t want to risk a swap with Stephen. Being in Judy’s body was unpleasant right now, but Stephen’s body bordered on disgusting. The guy didn’t take care of himself at all. He was overweight, hairy, and people wondered if he even showered regularly.

Stephen continued speaking, “It won’t do you any good right now. I heard you and Judy talk this morning. You complained about starting her cycle.”

“That’s why I need it back,” Brad mumbled.

“You don't even know how it works! The thing doesn’t even work when a woman has her time of the month. You’re stuck in Judy’s body for the next few days, and -- if I were to do something to the medallion -- you might be stuck like that for a lot longer.”

Brad didn’t like where this was going...

Must Be in the Dumpster

The medallion had to be in one of these dumpsters. Kaitlyn had said she had thrown it away, and he had already checked the trash in the basement of the apartment building -- which means it must have been brought out back here already.

Of course, scaling the side of one of these things and digging around inside while in Kaitlyn’s body was going to be difficult. As he put his hands to his head; he thought that maybe he could just adapt to being Kaitlyn, adapt to being a woman, and adapt to a new life.

A few seconds later, he made up his mind and scaling the side of one of the dumpsters. It wasn’t going to be a pleasant experience.

Two Rules

Eunice looked at her father, and quite honestly it was strange to see her own face looking back. Well, the face she had for about 30 minutes in the morning before putting on her makeup and 30 minutes at night after washing her face before going to bed.

She had a sense of annoyance in her voice when she spoke, “Remember the rules, Dad. Number one: stay home. And rule number two: Don’t open the door for anyone. Basically, no one should see me looking like ... well ... this!”

Her dad sighed, “It’s okay. I get it. You have an image. And, look, I still don’t know anything about that medallion we found in the attic with your mom’s stuff or how it transformed me into your doppelganger. But I do appreciate you coming out here for her funeral. I know we haven’t spoken much since you graduated. I think -- I think that’s my fault. I’m sorry. I could’ve been a better father. And I’ll spend my time researching this, and see if there’s some way to get me back to normal.”

Eunice’s stern expression softened for just a moment. She stared at her father with a sincerity she rarely had. A smile cracked on her face, “You tried, Dad. And I love you.” And after a brief hug, she put back on her sternest face and reiterated, “But, seriously, don’t let anyone see you.”
