Horrific

A few days before Halloween, Gary was enjoying a walk around his neighborhood. On the otherwise clear night, lightning and thunder began crashing and booming. As one lightning strike hit, Gary felt his eyes blur and everything seemed strange for a moment. He screamed when he saw his own face, but he screamed even more when he realized he meant the body that he now had was not his own. He was a woman! A woman that had just been walking by him on the street. He screamed louder and longer. This was truly horrific.

"I'm not going out like this!" Edward screamed from the other room.

"Oh, come on, stop being such a baby!" His younger sister Ella shouted back, "It's not anything women don't wear almost every single day."

"But that's the thing," Edward protested as he clumsily walked into the room, "I'm NOT a woman."

"Well, actually, as long as you're body swapped you are. And you better lean how to walk in those heels quickly. If you humiliate Debra, there's a chance she'll be too embarrassed to ever want to swap back with you."

"She wouldn't...she couldn't..."

Ella and her friend Theresa just smiled.

Hitman

Being a hitman wasn't an easy job, but Vinny had gotten used to it. More than that, he knew he was good at it, and he felt like there was nothing he couldn't handle. But as he finished cleaning up from his latest job, he finally dealt with a situation that he wasn't sure he could stomach. In one moment, he was washing his bloody hands and in the next, he was parking a sedan in a suburban neighborhood. He walked cautiously out of the car and down the street. Every step was uncomfortable and awkward, as he was dealing with an unfamiliar body. He could tackle laundering money, murdering people, bribing, and blackmail, but being stuck in the body of a suburban housewife was somehow going too far for him.

The Office

It wasn't until Hector sat down at his desk when he finally noticed something was wrong. He took a quick swivel, and he realized his feet didn't quite touch the floor like they should. The next moment he looked down to discover he was wearing a dress and high heels. He rushed to the bathroom, hesitating about which one to pick before reluctantly settling on the women's room. His jaw dropped when he looked in the mirror. He had seen her on the train a few times, but today for some reason he had swapped bodies with her. He couldn't believe he didn't notice it as he walked from the train to his office. Maybe there was a reason for that. Maybe whatever caused him to swap bodies with her didn't want him to notice right away, but why now?

In the Not Too Distant Future...

"Are you sure they can't get out?" Xavier asked pressing the buttons again to be sure the doors were locked.

"Yes, dude," Terrance sighed, "Our bodies are locked in these rooms with a constant stream of nutrients and sedation drugs pumped into their system to keep them unconscious. The women we've swapped with won't even move a muscle until we're done with their bodies. We hired them to look after our bodies while we are in stasis. In a way, that's exactly what they're doing."

"Yeah, but we never told them that we were going to swap bodies with them once we put ourselves under."

"It's a safety measure. We're trillionaires; we can't afford to take any risks. What if they had tried to poison us? Or kills us? Now, relax and let's enjoy our temporary bodies to their fullest and have some fun."

Bathroom

Paul had been stuck in Wendy's body for a day now. It had gone well so far; he thought he adapted well enough. However, he had yet to use the bathroom. The idea of going just made him uncomfortable; he didn't want to think about Wendy's body in that way. When he finally sat down to go, he let out a large fart. He had to accept a painful reality that women's bodies did fart, but it got worse when he would soon come to realize that they also poop too!

Could Get Worse

"I told you that you had 24 hours," Harrison explained to Mary, "Twenty four hours to fix our swapped bodies. Now, I get serious."

Mary's law dropped when Harrison pulled out a pair of scissors and lobbed off a big chunk of her hair.

"This is just the beginning, Mary. If you don't fix this and get us back into our own bodies, I am going to do so much worse things to your body, so you better find a way to swap us back as soon as possible."

Too Good To Be True

"If the deal seemed too good to be true...that's because it was," Kevin told Mona, saying the final bit with a shake of his head and a bit of taunting sing-song style to his voice.

Weeks ago, he had come into the coffee shop and made Mona an offer to swap bodies. She couldn't believe it. She made only a little more than minimum wage working as a barista; Kevin's suit looked like it cost more than she made in a month. He had a high paying job on Wall Street and a pent house apartment in Lower Manhattan. If she agreed to this, that would all be hers. How could she say no?

When she returned to the cafe that day with a sour look on her face, Kevin knew exactly what had happened. He was being indicted for insider trading, or, rather, Mona was being indicted, now that she was the one in his body. He may be a poor barista now, but he wasn't going to jail.

Jaw Dropping

John's jaw dropped when he suddenly found himself looking at his own face. Then he looked over to see Mike, and he was in a downright panic. The only other person sitting at the table had been Mike's girlfriend, Jenna. And if he was no longer himself and he wasn't Mike that meant...

He couldn't believe it! He was in Jenna's body! He just kept looking back and forth at his former body and Mike in shock with his mouth wide open. He wasn't even able to form a single word to express his surprise.

On the Other Foot

When Misty finally found Daniel, she didn't have the words to express her anger. It only made matters worse when Daniel stuck out his tongue and waved his hands before smiling, really rubbing it in Misty's face. This only made her madder.

Before she could get through her anger to find words to say, Daniel spoke calmly, "Guess the shoe's on the other foot now. Well, actually the shoe is on the same foot; it's just that I am the one in control of those feet...and the shoes...your whole body, actually. You always thought you were so cool; you thought you could look down on people like me. You never could've expected what I could do. You know, the whole swapping bodies thing. Now I AM you, and you are unfortunately me. And you're just going to have to get used to it, because I am never swapping back."

Closing

When Jason found himself inside of Amy's body, he rushed as fast as he could back to his own house. He burst into his own room frantically, and then he froze. Amy didn't even notice him at the door; she was much too preoccupied with his body making love to his girlfriend. Jason stood there in shock for a moment before calmly closing the door. He realized swapping bodies with Amy wasn't some random event or an accident; it was intentional. It was all clear to him now. Amy wanted to be with his girlfriend, and now she had that. Now his only focus would be to figure out a way to swap back.

Time to Himself

Mei hadn't left Jeff alone for much time since they swapped bodies. She claimed that she wanted to keep an eye on him to make sure he didn't do anything "weird." In fact, one of the few times she gave him a moment to himself was when it was time to take a bath. Even then, she insisted he wear a bathing suit to cover up. He desperately wanted to take it off and look at Mei's body, but the latch was in the back. If he took it off, he wasn't sure he could get it back on. Then again, maybe he could just wait it out. It had been a week since they first swapped, and it didn't seem like they were going to swap back anytime soon. Maybe she'd just give up after a while and give him some time to himself...

Distraction

"Hey! Look up! Pay attention!" Jenna implored, "We need to figure out a way to reverse this weird body swap."

"You can't exactly blame me for being distracted." Craig sighed, "I am a guy, after all. Breasts are, well, they're distracting! Even more so now that I actually have some!"

"And you better not forget that they are really mine!"

"I know. I know. But how are we ever going to undo this body swap? We don't even know how it happened in the first place!"

"I guess that's just what we investigate first..."

Luncheon

When Melissa arrived at the charity luncheon and began to down cheeseburgers from the buffet quickly and loudly, it turned more than a few heads. Of course, none of the other people there would've ever believed that it wasn't actually Melissa inside of Melissa's body. She had been lounging about her house when a strange accident caused her to swap bodies with one of the young men working on her lawn. She didn't want to miss this luncheon, so she insisted he go in her place. Of course, he knew nothing about how to act like her, how to act proper in a high class social situation. He just saw the free food and got excited. He had no idea how much he was embarrassing Melissa, or how much he would continue to do so. In hindsight, Melissa might've just preferred that she not be seen at the event at all.

Violent

When Heather told Frank that she had no idea how they had switched bodies and no clue how to switch them back, Frank became furious. He was sure she was lying and slapped her right across the face. Heather didn't react much; she just kept up the lie that she knew nothing about how they swapped bodies.

Consequences

Mark couldn't care less about anything anymore, not since he swapped bodies with Carol. He figured he had nothing to lose. He disassociated himself from the consequences of his actions; feeling Carol's body would be suffering any ill effects. He drank all the time, even when driving. He rode his motorcycle without a helmet. Nothing seemed to matter to him anymore... He thought to himself that maybe if he died, it would jolt his consciousness back to his own body. Or maybe he missed his own body so much that it just didn't matter if he died.

Quicker and Faster

Chris was absolutely miserable after swapping bodies with Mia. There was a lot he disliked about being a woman. Among them was how long it took to get ready in the morning. While Mia worked on fixing her invention that swapped their bodies, Chris looked for ways to make his life as a woman a little easier. For instance, Mia insisted he wear makeup every day. Chris hated it, but it only took him a few weeks to find a quicker and faster way of applying.

Best Two Out of Three

Eric didn't exactly know why he made the offer. He knew Miyung didn't know how to use his body swapping device; there was no way she'd be able to get her body back without his help. Still, he wanted to feel like he had taken her body fair and square. He told her if she could beat him in rock, paper, scissors, he'd switch back with her. And so it was a simple, "One, two, three, shoot;" Eric picked rock. A grin formed on his face when he saw that Miyung had picked scissors. She got a desperate look in her eye and asked, "Best two out of three?"

Slap

Ben was sure he was dreaming/ He HAD to be dreaming. You don't just walk down the street and swap bodies with a woman walking the other way; that just doesn't happen. Yet everything seemed so real. The sights, the sounds, and even the smells all seemed so realistic. He kept telling himself he needed to wake up. With his girlfriend's house not far, he rushed over and explained the situation. He also made a simple request: slap him. She was hesitant at first. It felt weird hitting anyone. She reluctantly did so before pulling back a little embarrassed. Ben, on the other hand, was just upset that it didn't wake him from this nightmare; he was starting to think that he might not be dreaming.

Great

Jackson knew he should have been concerned with the fact that he had switches bodies with someone (a woman, no less!), but he was way more fascinated by the fact that despite frigid temperatures, he didn't feel cold. In fact, even though he had a lot of exposed skin and very little clothing on, he actually felt good. In fact, he felt better than good, he felt great.
