Best Dinner Ever

Xander was finally starting to see the upside of swapping bodies with his mom. At first, he was bummed. She was making him do all sorts of chores, like grocery shopping for dinner. But he soon realized that he didn’t need to get the items on his mother’s list; he could get whatever he wanted instead! He stopped at the candy aisle first; throwing handfuls of bags into the cart. Next, he went for the sugary cereals. He still needed to get some soda and ice cream to round it off. With ingredients like these, he was sure that he was going to make the best dinner ever!

Pick

Nick remembered when getting dressed in the morning was easy. He’s just reach into his closet and put on whatever he pulled out. That was before the Great Shift placed him into the body of a woman. Now the decision was agony. Did this top go with this skirt? Which shoes went with this outfit? Did his make up match? Prior to the Shift, he had wondered why women took so much time getting ready; now it all made so much sense. There were just so many decisions to be made. At the same time, he knew he had to be thankful. The Great Shift had deposited him into a completely fantastic body, and even when he didn’t make a good fashion pick, he knew his body looked great.

Not Uncommon

“Come on, Cara, you can’t be serious. You can’t really dress like this on a daily basis.”

“It is not uncommon, Mr. Wong. You are quite aware of what I did for a living before you swapped bodies with me thanks to your crazy invention. It isn’t my fault that you couldn’t get it to swap us back.”

“I told you, it will be fixed soon --”

“Yes, and until it is, you will be doing as I say with my body. And in return, I will treat your body with respect as well. I do expect full payment for each and every hour that we are stuck like this.”

“Yes. All the more reason I should be taking time off from your work to fix the machine.”

“No time off. You must do as I say, remember?”

Agile

Charles knew other people from his nursing home that complained about the effects of the Great Shift. Now that they were all in younger bodies, they were being kicked out of the home and expected to get jobs. Charles, however, was not complaining. How could he? He was young and full of energy again. Plus, this body was more fit and agile than he had ever been. Unlike many of his friends, he was eager to get back to work. It didn’t even matter to him that he was now a woman. The only people he felt bad for were those now stuck in the former bodies of his old friends. They were finding themselves in a home for the elderly long before their time. Of course, he never dwelt on this feeling too long. He was glad to be out of there and able to enjoy fresh air again.

Dreams (Part 2)

Tony was attempting to calm himself down. He might not be able to get back asleep right now, but he’d have to sleep eventually. Perhaps he should just enjoy this opportunity until that happens. Of course, he realized that merely going back to sleep might not revert him to normal, but if it did, wouldn’t he feel a little silly if he didn’t take this chance to truly experience life as a woman? After all, few people (if any) ever get to live on both sides of the gender fence. It would seem a shame to waste his time...
