SRU: Lovers (K)not (First Draft) free porn video

Some time ago, Raven and I collaborated on an SRU story called Lovers (K)Not, which is unfortunately incomplete at this time. Raven created the story idea, basic plot and the main characters, and then asked me to write a rough draft based on the information that he gave me. After I completed the rough draft, I sent it to him, where he polished it up and added quite a bit more detail as well as his own touches. Raven posted each chapter to Fictionmania after he'd finished his part with it, but unfortunately, he has put this story on hold along with several of his other ones. As a result, the polished story is only half complete on Fictionmania. I have talked to Raven and he said that it was okay if I post the rough draft for the story It was from before he did his work and added it to FM, but the rough draft does contain the whole story This will at least give an ending to the story, though it is still not the finalized version which Raven was working on... and hopefully will return to some day. Remember, this was just the rough draft so don't be critical of any editing errors. It was also written before I changed my format style to make for easier reading. SRU: Lovers (K)not (FIRST DRAFT) By Morpheus and Raven School had just finished for the day, and Jake Preston, the senior class president, was heading towards his car, when he spotted someone coming towards him. A tall, athletic looking black guy, wearing a school letterman jacket. "Hey Ty!" he called out to his best friend, and star player on the football team. "How's it going?" "Not bad," Tyrone Collins called back, a cocky grin on his face. "We still on for tomorrow night?" Jake slapped his friend on the back, saying, "Definitely." Then a moment later he added, "After you help kick Chesterfield's ass at the game tomorrow of course," referring to the Thursday night football game against their rival school. "Of course," Ty responded, still having the cocky grin on his face. "Just wait till I..." Jake tuned out what Ty was saying as he noticed two girls dressed as cheerleaders making their way towards them. He grinned, recognizing the taller blonde haired one as his girlfriend Kristi. "Hi," he said, giving her a kiss to which she passionately responded. The well-built black girl, who'd been walking next to Kristi smiled shyly at Jake, then gave Ty a kiss. She was Cricket Allen, Ty's girlfriend and Kristi's best friend, though Jake often joked that she was Kristi's sidekick instead. After all, she was only a junior and Kristi had sort of taken her under her wing. Cricket didn't seem to mind either way, though she did seem a little quiet most of the time. "Are we still on for tomorrow?" Kristi asked with a smile. Jake nodded, assuring them, "Yeah, my parents are still going on that business trip till Saturday night, so we'll have the house to ourselves. Even the maid will be gone." "Awesome!" exclaimed Ty, excited at having Jake's huge house to just them. "I think I can get some booze from a friend of mine," he half mused, adding, "Though the coach would kill me if he found out" "Don't bother," Jake told them confidently, "I've got the keys to my dad's liquor cabinet and I don't think he'd miss one bottle." The others seemed satisfied with that arrangement, and continued to talk about how much fun they were going to have. They talked for several more minutes, then Cricket interrupted, "If we don't hurry Kristi, we'll be late for practice." Kristi looked down at her watch, then said, "Sorry guys, we've gotta run." Then with a quick kiss to Jake's cheek, she turned and sauntered off, with Cricket following close behind her. "Damn!" Ty exclaimed as he watched the girls walk away, his eyes glued to Cricket's ass. "Now that's a sight!" Then he shook his head, and apologized to Jake, "I'd better be going to practice too or the coach will have me running laps for an hour." Jake chuckled, saying, "See ya Ty." Once his friend was gone, Jake sighed, and continued on towards his car in the parking lot. He still had some things to take care of before their little party the next night. After a short drive, Jake ended up at the local mall. He went inside and started looking around, not quite sure exactly what he wanted, but thinking that Spencer's would be a good place to look. Jake wanted something that would liven up their little party, preferably something that their parents wouldn't approve of. He only hoped that he could find something interesting, that wouldn't offend the girls too much. After all, there wasn't much chance that he'd get lucky with Kristi if she were pissed at him. Then again, Jake thought to himself with amusement, with Kristi that didn't seem to matter too much. Jake took his time as he walked through the mall, not being in any hurry to head home. He slowly made his way towards Spencer's, but stopped several times at other stores to see if there was anything there that caught his eye. In one store, he nearly bought a game of Twister, thinking that it could be a lot of fun if they played naked. But then after realizing that he didn't want to be that close to Ty while naked, Jake decided against it and continued to keep looking. Finally, when Jake was close to Spencer's, he realized that something didn't look quite right, but he couldn't place what it was. He paused, looking around and wondering. Then it dawned on him. Spencer's wasn't there. Instead a new shop sat in its place. The whole front was covered over, unlike most shops in the mall, which really made Jake curious. "That's odd," he muttered, glancing at the window display and seeing crystal balls, small statues and other odds and ends. Then he looked at the wooden door, which seemed so out of place in a modern mall. A sign above the door said Spells R Us, which Jake realized was the stores name, though he'd never heard of it before. "Must be a fly by night," he snorted, figuring that they'd be out of business within a month. Still Jake wondered exactly what they sold. And more importantly, how such a small store could replace a major one like Spencer's, and so quickly at that. He clearly remembered seeing Spencer's there the last time he was in the mall, just a week earlier. Thinking that with a name like Spells R Us, it had to be a magic store of some sort, Jake couldn't help but wondering if maybe some kind of magic trick would be fun. He didn't really think so, but it was worth at least checking out. Having made up his mind, Jake opened the door and went in. A little bell tinkled as the door closed behind him. Jake stopped where he was, letting his eyes roam the store. He was somewhat surprised to notice just how many things there were around, piled up on various shelves, and most of it having no discernible order. The clutter looked more like a garage sale than something that you'd find in a mall, with almost everything imaginable thrown in there somewhere. In one corner he could see costumes hanging from a rack, and on another he could see a grandfather clock. A statue of a naked woman decorated another spot on a wall, with piles of high tech children's toys shelved next to it. And as amazing as the variety was, Jake was even more startled to notice that some of the items had a layer of dust on them, as if they'd been sitting there for quite a while. Definitely strange for a store that hadn't been there the week before. Suddenly Jake's examination was interrupted by a loud, "Ahem!" Startled Jake nearly jumped, but managed to get hold of himself and turned towards the voice. "May I help you young man?" asked a strangely dressed old man. He looked almost like he was wearing his bathrobe or something, but it had faint symbols decorating it which hinted that it might be more than just a bathrobe. "Were you looking for something in particular Jake?" he asked when Jake didn't answer. "Wha..." Jake gasped, blinking his eyes. "How did you know my name?" The Old Man smiled faintly, and then answered, "It's my business to know those things. And of course it doesn't hurt that you're the class president over at the high school." He grinned, making Jake smile back. Jake decided that the old man probably had a grandkid or something, which went to the school and had seen Jake at one of the assemblies or other school functions. It wasn't the first time that some stranger had recognized him. Shrugging it off, Jake glanced around, and then looked back at the Old Man. "I'm not really sure what I'm looking for." Nodding as if he had expected that, the Old Man asked again, "What are you looking for?" Then Jake started to repeat himself, but somehow he found himself saying, "Something exciting for a party my friends and I are having tomorrow night. Something different." "Ahhhh," the Old Man said with a smile, "different is what I specialize in. Come right this way young man, I think I have just the thing." Almost in spite of himself, Jake started following the old man to the back of the store. "Just a moment," the Old Man apologized, pulling several things off a shelf. Finally he pulled out a wooden box, exclaiming, "Here it is." Jake stared at the box for a moment, noticing that it was the size of a checkerboard, but about 3 inches thick and carved of a very dark wood. "What is it?" Jake asked, trying not to sneeze as the Old Man blew the dust from off of the box. "This," the Old Man said slowly, "is something different. This is a game, unlike any that you or your friends have ever played. It's a one of a kind, and very, very old." "Sounds interesting..." Jake replied, feeling a little curious, but suspecting that this old guy was exaggerating. "Oh, it is," the Old Man chuckled, "very interesting indeed!" Then, still carrying the wooden box, the Old Man walked back to the front of the store, to the counter, while Jake followed behind him. Once at the counter, the Old Man set the wooden box carefully down, and wiped the dust from it with a rag that Jake hadn't even noticed in his hand. The box was carefully carved with slight images around the outside, most prominently that of a rope and several people seeming to be tied up in it at various points. The hinges on the sides were a golden color and very ornate, as was the clasp on top. Without a word, the Old Man undid the clasp, and then folded the top open on both sides, revealing the contents within. The body of the box was board, carved with the same wood as the outside, and with a lighter wood running around the inside in several paths. Obviously a board game that looked a lot like Life or something of that nature. There were four circles, one on each corner of the board, carved in light wood. And from those, each had a path that led towards another circle in the middle of the board where they all intersected. The circle in the center also had slightly raised area, though for what reason Jake couldn't guess. Then Jake looked at the top half of the box, which had been split open and folded out on the sides of the board. One side was in light wood, with writing halfway down it. Obviously the games rules, though why they wasted half the space and left it blank Jake didn't know. The other half of the lid was dark red velvet, and had several carved slots. Four game pieces fit in there, so perfectly that they didn't seem to need anything to keep them from falling out. Each piece was a human figure, standing about four inches tall. Two of the figures were women, and the other two were men. And at the same time, one of each was made of a golden metal, while the other one was silver. "Wow!" was all Jake could think to say. In the same lid half was a stack of white cards, fitted into an indented slot, and held in by a leather strap. There was also a small pocket in the cloth, with several bulges, which revealed that something was inside. Probably the dice, was Jake's guess. After a few minutes of staring, the Old Man told Jake, "Interesting, isn't it." "Um... yeah," Jake admitted. Though the game definitely looked old and was probably worth a bit, it probably wouldn't be that fun to play though. It looked far too simple and obvious. One of those roll the dice and move games, occasionally picking up cards. "The Lovers Knot," the Old Man said simply, "that's what it's called. It is a game, designed for two couples of lovers or friends. You take turns, rolling the die, then drawing a card. Each card asks rather... personal... questions," the Old Man winked at Jake, "and if you answer the question truthfully, you move forward as many spaces as your die was rolled." "Yeah," Jake snorted, "and whoever gets to the center first wins." Still smiling, the Old Man said, "Sort of, but not exactly. That's when part two begins." "Part two?" Jake asked, looking at the game again and wondering what more there could be. The Old Man answered cryptically, "Oh yes, there's much, much more. Once the last card is turned, and the winner's spin is spun, the real game has only just begun!" Jake was intrigued, in spite of himself. "How much?" he asked, gently running a handover the wooden case and not noticing the slightly odd smile on the Old Man's face. "As I said," the Old Man stated, "the game is a one of a kind, and very old. The least I could let it go for would be four hundred dollars." Jake groaned slightly, thinking that this was far too expensive for a board game, but then again, it was an antique. That would justify it's cost. "Do you take credit cards?" he asked hopefully, not wanting to have to fill out a check. "Of course." Several minutes later, Jake had finished paying for the game and thanked the Old Man. "No, thank you!" he told Jake. "I just know that you and your friends will get caught up in the game." The Old Man chuckled to himself, as if at some private joke. Jake just shrugged, picked up the bag that the Old Man had put the game in, and started for home. He couldn't wait to try playing it. After the smashing victory over Chesterfield during the ball game, Ty was pumped up and more than ready for Jake's little get together. He even had to turn down a couple of his teammates offers to party in order to go. "Sorry Man," he told Chet Stevens, the team's running back, "but I've got other plans." Then Ty gave his skinny white friend a wink, adding, "Me and Cricket, that is!" Chet chuckled at that, while Ty finished changing out of his football uniform and into his street clothes. "I'll see you guys later," he called out to his remaining teammates, and then he grabbed his gym bag and hurried from the locker room. Ty went home, dropped off his gym bag, then immediately left again to pick up Cricket. It didn't take him long to get to her home as she only lived a couple miles away. Stopping outside the somewhat run down apartment, Ty hopped out of his car and started running up the stairs, carefully stepping over the drunk who was sleeping there. When he finally made it to Cricket's door, he slowed down to a more respectable pace, thinking that it wouldn't due for her to think he was in any kind of a hurry. That just wouldn't be cool. After knocking loudly on the door, Ty waited impatiently. "Just like a chick to be late," he muttered, ignoring the fact that he was actually several minutes early. The door opened, with Cricket's somewhat overweight Mom standing there. "She'll be out in a minute," the woman said, gesturing for Ty to come in. Ty went in, looking around as he did so, in spite of having been there plenty of times before. As he glanced at Cricket's Mom, he couldn't help but wondering how such a fat ass broad could have so fine a daughter as Cricket. "Hello Ty," Cricket said, stepping into the room. Ty gasped, nearly drooling. "Damn you look fine girl!" he complimented her. Cricket just looked slightly embarrassed, while her mom gave him a disapproving look. "Ready to go?" "Actually, I've still got to change my clothes," she said sweetly. "I hope you don't mind waiting." Then, seeing the look on Ty's face, she just laughed and told him, "I'm ready!" Ty just let out a sigh of relief, and then eagerly left with her to go to Jake's little party. Arriving at Jake's house, Ty and Cricket got out of the car and started towards the front door, hoping that Jake was right and that his parents weren't there. Though he'd been over a couple times before, Ty still got the impression that his parents weren't happy with him as Jake's friend, though they didn't actually say anything. Offhandedly, Ty wondered if that was one of the reasons Jake was his friend. Because his friendship to a black jock and his poor black girlfriend irritated his parents. Nah, Ty decided. That was probably just one of the fringe benefits. Ty noticed that Cricket looked a little nervous as they stood outside the front door, and grinned. She's only been to Jake's place once before, shortly after Kristi had introduced the two of them a couple weeks earlier. And, Cricket had told him earlier that she wasn't comfortable going to Jake's house again, seeming to think that a poor black girl just didn't belong in a rich white boy's house. Saying that she felt out of place. "Come on and enjoy yourself," he told her, "lighten up!" Then he gave her a kiss, which seemed to lighten her mood considerably. "I'll be fine," she said a moment later. "Besides, Kristi will be here." Then, as if to show how confident she was, Cricket pushed the doorbell. Soon the door swung open and Jake stood there, a wide grin on his face. Kristi stood right behind him, with a can of diet Coke in her hand. "Come on in," he invited, gesturing for them both to come inside. "We can use the living room." With that Jake led the way as the other three followed close behind. In moments, they were all settled in the living room, and Jake asked, "Anyone want a beer?" Cricket hesitated for just a moment, but seeing that the others were all going to have one, she said she would too. Once everyone had gotten comfortable, Jake grinned and said, "I've got something new I thought we could try out." "What is it this time?" Ty asked. "Another video game?" "Nah. Something a little less fancy." Jake got up then went into a corner, picking up a wooden box and returning to the coffee table. He set it down, and then undid a latch on top, pausing dramatically before he continued. "The guy who sold it to me told me that it was a one of a kind, antique... porn game." Kristi blushed while Ty chuckled. "You're kidding?" Kristi asked, looking down at the game. "Well..." Jake paused. "He never really said porn... but he kind of suggested it." Ty groaned. "I hadn't really looked at it myself yet. I was waiting for all you." "Let's get going then," Ty said, wondering what kind of stupid thing Jake had got them. He hoped it wasn't as lame as it sounded. But then again, if it really were some sort of porn game... then it would definitely have possibilities. However, as soon as Jake had spread open the lid, and he got a good look at the board, he decided that it probably wouldn't. The game looked sort of boring, though rather well made. Jake pulled out one of the little figurine playing pieces, holding it in his hand. It was a little silver metal man, about 4 inches tall. Jake set it down in one of the light colored circles that was closest to him in one corner of the board. "I've got my piece," he said. Kristi immediately snapped up the silver metal woman, setting it in her spot. That left the gold figures for Ty and Cricket, and since Ty had no intention of using a female playing piece, he grabbed the tiny man, leaving the gold woman for Cricket. Once all the pieces were on the board, Jake pulled out a small stack of cards and shuffled them without looking at the faces. "Let's keep it a surprise," he said, putting them down on a small wooden tray on the edge of the board, obviously intended just for the cards. "What's in here?" Kristi asked, already opening the pouch and pulling out the contents. She held them out for everyone to see, showing a single hand carved die, which looked as if it might be made of ivory or even marble. She also held out four gold rings, each designed to look almost like ropes that ran in a circle. "Kinda cute!" she said, passing them around so that everyone could have one. Just then, Jake started reading the rules off of the lid. "It says that we each have to put on these rings," he held his up, "and that we roll the dice, then have to pick a card. We answer the question on the card, and then we can move our piece forward. The first to the center wins the first round, then starts the next part." Jake frowned, and then wondered aloud, "First round? Next part?" He shook his head and chuckled, saying, "Well the guy that sold it to me said that there was more to it, but what I don't know." Jake looked closely at his ring, and then noticed that Kristi had already put hers on. It seemed to fit her just right too. Shrugging, he slipped his own on, surprised that it fit him perfectly, almost as if made just for him. When everyone had their rings on, Jake said, "Alright, let's roll to see who goes first." A minute later, they had their order of play. Ty first, then Kristi, Jake and finally Cricket. "Momma needs a new pair a shoes," Ty jokingly called out, and then rolled the die onto the board. It bounced twice, and then came to a stop with a 2. "Oh man," Ty groaned, "I shoulda got a six." Kristi said, "Draw a card already. I wanna see what kinda questions they ask?" "Yeah, hurry up!" Jake urged him. "All right already!" Ty groaned, pretending hurt. Ty picked up the top card from the stack, then turned it over to read. "Describe in detail, the first time that you ever..." Ty paled as much as his dark skin would allow, looking embarrassed. Kristi urged him to finish. "First time you ever had sex," he finished, getting some laughs from his friends. Ty looked at Cricket, and then asked aloud, "Do the rules say anything about if we refuse to answer?" "No!" Jake started. "Well then," Ty said firmly, "I ain't talking!" But to the surprise of everyone, Ty especially, he began talking. "It was with Denise Jackson from my history class. She'd just broken up with Malcolm Lawrence cause he cheated on her, and was pretty pissed off. When I asked her for a date, figuring to catch her on the rebound, she grabbed me and practically dragged me to the broom closet in the school hallway!" Ty wanted to stop talking, since this was far too embarrassing, but he found himself compelled to continue, telling everyone how he'd lost his load right away, before Denise had even gotten off. He told how she was so pissed; she took a wad of his cum with her fingers, and smeared it across his face before she left the closet. When Ty had finished, he saw that his friends were all staring at him, and Cricket especially looked embarrassed. "Jeez man..." Jake gasped, obviously startled by Ty's embarrassing story. And more so that Ty would even admit to it. Just then Ty's eyes noticed the golden figurine that was his. It was moving. "Holy shit!" he exclaimed, watching the little figurine slide two spaces down the board, then stop. "How'd it do that?" Ty tried to pick the piece up, wanting to check for magnets or something, figuring that Jake had obviously lied about the game being an antique. But he found that his figurine was stuck to the board, refusing to budge. It was as if it were carved from the same piece of wood as the board itself. "Fuck!" he said. The others all tried moving their pieces off of their starting circles, but they all met with the same results as Ty. They refused to budge. "I don't think I like this game," Cricket said, looking at it nervously. "It's too damn weird." Jake agreed, but he refused to admit it. "It's just a game," he told them, then he reminded Kristi, "It's your turn!" He grinned, obviously wondering what kind of thing she'd be asked to tell. She glared at him, and then picked up the die from the board. "Here goes nothing," she said, rolling the die. It came up with a 5, making Ty groan while she grinned smugly at him. "Ha," she said, and then drew a card. Kristi read "What is your most erotic sexual fantasy?" She looked slightly embarrassed, but noticed that Jake was nearly drooling. "Men..." she snorted to herself, but then Kristi found herself saying, "Laying in a pile of silk cushions, dressed in wispy silks and with three naked, big, muscular men. One kissing each of my breasts, licking and playing with my nipples, while the third one eats me out, bringing me to orgasm after orgasm, then sticking his huge cock into me and filling me completely." Kristi blushed as she finished, not knowing what had come over her to make her admit that. God, she thought to herself, she hadn't even told Jake about that fantasy before. "Wow!" Jake finally said. Ty was obviously smirking and about to say something as well, but Cricket elbowed him in the ribs to keep him silent. Then their eyes caught Kristi's piece, which like Ty's, was moving on its own. None of them said a word. After a minute, Jake muttered, "I guess it's my turn." After Jake rolled, and came up with a four, he quietly drew a card, and bravely read it aloud. "Who is the person that you most greatly desire to have sex with?" Kristi looked smug, and blew on her fingernails, obviously expecting Jake to name her. As Jake was about to do just that, the name "Michelle Phillips" slipped from his lips, almost of its own violation. "WHAT?!" Kristi demanded, obviously shocked and insulted. "That stuck up bitch?" Jake just gaped, and tried to protest, "But..." to no effect. Michelle Phillips was the last person he should have said, in spite of the fact that he just now realized it was true. He did want her, and bad. Unfortunately she and Kristi were bitter rivals in school, and at worst, hated enemies. Jake knew that he would have definitely been better off naming anyone else, even Cricket. Seeing the look on Kristi's face, Jake sighed in defeat, not knowing why he'd said what he had, but knowing that he wouldn't get laid that night because of it. Again, his piece moved forward four spaces of its own violation, though Jake paid it little attention this time. "Your turn baby," Ty told Cricket, obviously trying to change the subject. She gave a shy smile, then rolled the die, coming up with a two. When she read her card, Cricket blushed, but read anyway, "Who was the first person you ever had sex with?" Ty's eyes were riveted to her, while Jake just grinned, already guessing that Ty would be named. After all, Ty had told him all about how good she was in bed. But to Jake's surprise, Cricket said, "No one. I've never had sex before." She looked down in embarrassment as her piece moved forward on its own. "But..." Jake said, about to ask about Ty's story, when Kristi kicked him in the shin, getting an "Ow!" from him, and the silence that she wanted. "Um... your turn Ty." Ty nodded, then rolled the die and drew his card. He read it aloud, and quickly found himself describing one of his fantasies. As he described in detail, his fantasy of having Cricket give him a blowjob, and swallowing it all, he felt like he was going to die. Though he tried to stop, he just couldn't. It was like he had to say it. Cricket gasped and paled during his description, refusing to look at him when he'd finished. "Sorry," he apologized, and then looked away, greatly embarrassed himself. "Well I'm not playing anymore!" Kristi said, then started to get up, adding, "I'm not going to answer any more of those questions!" Cricket and Jake both nodded faintly in agreement. But as Kristi tried to move away from the board, she found herself unable to. Her muscles seemed to betray her, forcing her to sit back down again. "What..." she gasped in confusion as she stared at the die. "I can't get up" "I can't either!" Cricket added. Ty and Jake both tried as well, admitting that they too couldn't move more than several feet from the board. "We're stuck!" Ty said dumbly, echoing what the others were thinking. They all tried again, to no effect. Finally, Cricket suggested, "This game is obviously doing it, so maybe we just have to finish the game. Maybe that's what it wants." Kristi snorted. "That's stupid!" "No," Jake said slowly, "I don't think it is. I think that Cricket has a point. We have to finish the game." They looked at each other, and at the game board, finally agreeing that it was worth a shot. That they'd finish the game. Kristi sighed, and wordlessly picked up the die for her roll. Once Kristi's turn was over, Jake went. Slowly, the players turns went around the board, each time having their figurines move closer to the center of the board, and the end of the game. Kristi was in the lead, having 2 more spaces to go, with Cricket and Ty coming up with four spaces to go each. Jake was coming up in the rear, still having six spaces to go. Finally it was Kristi's turn again, and she looked at the others smugly. "This should do it," she said, relieved that the game was about to end, "All I need is a two to win." "Get on with it already!" Jake snapped, feeling somewhat annoyed at being in last place. "Let's get this thing over with." Kristi just stuck out her tongue at him, and then rolled the die. She eagerly anticipated her win, while at the same time dreading the card she'd have to draw. Then, as the die stopped on a one, Kristi exclaimed, "SHIT!!" "Suck language!" Ty teased her, grinning broadly. Cricket smiled as well, knowing that she now had a good chance at winning. "Well go on, draw a card." "Easy for you to say!" she snapped. "You probably won't have to do it again," Kristi snorted as she quickly grabbed a card from the top of the pile, then glared at everyone before she read it. "Have you ever faked an orgasm during sex, and if so, describe the last time that you did so." Cricket giggled, and in a quiet voice said, "I guess that one's for girls only." Kristi sighed, and then answered the question. "Yes I have." She blushed, not wanting to say what was coming next, but not having any choice either. "The night before last, when Jake and I were making out on my living room couch." "Oooh!" Ty teased Jake, especially seeing the look on his face. "I guess you aren't as hot as you thought!" Kristi couldn't bring herself to look Jake in the face, instead watching her figurine move one space forward. "Your turn buddy!" Ty told Jake, who just grunted and rolled. To everyone's surprise, the die landed on a six, making Jake grin. "Alright," he exclaimed excitedly. "And the game is over." But he found that he still couldn't leave. Sighing, he said, "I guess I've still got to do the card thing." A moment later, Jake was reading: "What was your most embarrassing sexual moment?" Jake groaned, then told the story of how he had finally managed to talk one of his dates, the gorgeous Laurie McPhellan into having sex with him, but before they could do anything, he creamed in his pants and couldn't get it back up again. "Shit!" Ty said sympathetically, while the girls both giggled. Jake knew his face was bright red, but suspected that he'd been blushing non-stop since the game had begun. For once, he actually envied Ty his dark skin since blushes wouldn't be visible. They all watched Jake's figurine slowly slide down the board, until it finally entered the light colored circle in the middle and stopped. "I win!" Jake exclaimed proudly. Everyone sighed in relief, glad that the game was finally over. But when Kristi tried to put the pieces away, they found that the figurines were still stuck in place. And something else seemed wrong, though none of them could place it. "I don't like this," Cricket muttered, "not at all." Ty suddenly pointed to the board, where a green glow was coming from the center. Right underneath Jake's piece. "Um... guys!" he said, drawing their attentions. The green glow in the center of the board intensified, filling up the entire circle. Then the glow was gone, but so was Jake's figurine. Instead the light colored circle in the center of the board had a dark metal arrow, sitting on a spinner. "Fuck!" Ty muttered, staring in surprise. They stared at it for a moment, and then Jake nervously touched it, feeling a tingle along his fingertip. "Wonder what it's for?" he asked, not paying attention as Cricket exclaimed that more game rules had appeared on the lid. Jake just shrugged, and since the arrow was obviously meant to be spun for some reason, he spun it. Around and around the arrow went, beginning to slow down after several rotations. Finally the arrow slowed enough to stop, pointing right at Cricket. Kristi jokingly asked, "What is this, spin the bottle?" But before she received an answer, the green glow returned, ten times brighter than before. For a split second, it seemed as if a pillar of green light was pouring from the center of the board, then exploding outward. Jake gasped and jumped backwards in surprise, with the green light hitting him seconds later. Ty stared at the board in confusion. As soon as Jake had spun that funky arrow, it all started glowing green for a second. Then blammo, that green light pours out everywhere, and seems to go straight for Jake and Cricket. Both of them were lying on the ground, while he and Kristi hadn't been touched. "Too fuckin weird!" And on top of that, the board didn't have that arrow in the middle anymore, and all four of the figurines were knocked over on their sides. "You okay Cricket?" Ty asked his girlfriend, leaning over and checking to see that she was all right. He sighed in relief when he noticed that she was still breathing. "Jake?" he called over to his friend, who was likewise motionless on the floor. Then to Ty's surprise, Cricket muttered, "What?" Jake was confused for a moment. The light had hit him hard, almost like it was something solid. Then, everything had gotten really dizzy for a moment. The next thing he knew, Ty was sitting over him, looking worried. "I'm not that bad," Jake asked Ty. "Am I?" But since Jake didn't feel any pain, just rather odd for some reason, he sat up. As soon as he sat up, Jake knew that something was wrong, though he couldn't put his finger on just what it was. Then it dawned on him. His whole body felt wrong for one thing, but the unfamiliar weight on his chest and the hair brushing his shoulders were sure signs. "Are you all right baby?" Ty asked Jake, making Jake even more confused. Why the hell was his best friend calling him baby? "What are you talking about?" Jake snapped, and then froze at the unfamiliar voice that had just come from his throat. No, not really unfamiliar, just not his. "What the hell?" Jake gasped as he jumped to his feet, feeling the giggling on his chest. He looked down and gasped even more, his jaw dropping and his eyes going wide. "NO WAY!" he cried out, seeing a pair of breasts pushing out from his chest. Pushing out incredibly far, or so they seemed to him. He immediately recognized the shirt he was wearing as Crickets, and with the dark colored skin that seemed to cover his now small hairless arm, Jake had good idea what had happened. "Shit!" he exclaimed in shock. "Cricket?" Ty hesitantly asked, obviously wondering what was wrong with Jake, whom he just as obviously thought was Cricket. "What's wrong?" Just then, Kristi piped up, "Jake seems confused too." Jake looked over and saw his own body, standing up and looking down at itself in confusion and shock, muttering, "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit..." over and over again. Ty put an arm around Jake's shoulders, making Jake cringe. He pulled himself away, and then snapped, "I'm not Cricket." He stared at his own body, inhabited by the real Cricket he assumed, then he continued, "I'm Jake. JAKE!" Jake stared up at Ty, feeling so small suddenly. Usually he and Ty were about the same size, but now... God, Ty seemed huge to him, towering over him by six or seven inches. "I'm Jake," he said more quietly, trying to get control of himself. This couldn't be real, but he knew that it was. It was too realistic to be a dream. He looked down at his dark skinned hands, with the long feminine nails, then at his breasts pushing out and the cleavage that they left visible. No, not a dream at all. "I'm Cricket," Jake heard his own voice say from across the room, "But how'd Jake and I trade bodies?" she sounded scared, but was obviously holding on a little better than Jake. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, not wanting to look any worse than he already did. "The game," he said quietly, stating the obvious. They all nodded, realizing that the green glow had done it when it had hit Cricket and him. "Fuck!" Ty exclaimed, stepping away from Jake, staring at him in disbelief. "That really you Jake?" When Jake nodded, Ty said. "Christ, you're a girl!" "REALLY!?" Jake snorted back sarcastically. "How did you guess?" Then Jake shook his head again, feeling the slight weight of earrings, and the swish of long hair. "Jeez I feel weird!" "Me too!" Cricket echoed. A moment later, she asked, "But how do we get back to normal?" Jake looked at her fearfully, terrified for a moment that it was permanent. What the hell would he do if he were stuck as Cricket? As a girl? Kristi was staring at the both of them, obviously stunned as well. Then she giggled, beginning to find it funny. "You look so cute as a girl," she told Jake. Jake scowled, not realizing that it looked more like a pout on Cricket's face. Feeling rather unbalanced in the slightly high heels that he realized he was wearing, Jake sat down on the couch, staring at the game and at his own body, which sat down across from him. Kristi suddenly said, "You said something about the rules before that light..." She was looking at Jake, and then apparently realizing that she was talking to the wrong person, she turned to Cricket instead. "Uh... yeah," Cricket said, trying to gather her thoughts. She moved over and looked at the lit to the board game, then exclaimed, "When that arrow popped up, some more rules popped up here on the lid too." Everyone tried to get where they could read the new additions to the rules, while Cricket read them aloud: "It says that if anyone leaves the game, they can't come back into it again. Ever." They looked at each other, obviously wondering how they were supposed to leave the game when they thought it was over. "It says that when the spinner appears, part 2 of the game really begins. The winner of part one trades bodies with whomever the spinner points to..." She stopped and looked at Jake, who gulped, realizing that he shouldn't have been in such a hurry to spin that damn arrow. "Just great," Jake mumbled to himself, trying to cross his arms. When they wouldn't cross very well with his boobs in the way, he scowled again and folded his hands across his lap. Cricket continued, "It says that anyone can leave the game by pulling off their rings..." She grinned, reaching for her own, but pausing as she went on. She paled, and pulled her hand away from the ring. "But they stay in whatever body they're in at the time. Permanently." Jake looked at his own crossed hands, and carefully separated them. "It also says that if anyone outside the game guesses that someone isn't who they seem to be, everyone loses the game... and get stuck in the bodies they're in." "Shit," Jake exclaimed. "You mean we have to pretend to be each other until we change back?" Cricket nodded. "Shit!" he said again, wondering how they were supposed to change back. "Does it say how we get back to normal?" he asked. Cricket shook her head no. "It only says how we can leave the game by pulling off the rings, and how we can all lose by someone guessing. And it also says something about being adapted to our new lives when we leave the game, whatever that means. It doesn't even say how we win the game." "Great," Jake snorted, "just great." "I can't believe that you two traded bodies," Ty said, still looking stunned by the whole thing. "That kind of stuff doesn't happen in the real word. That's like Star Trek shit or something." "Well I hope you get back to normal soon," Kristi snorted, "I mean, what can I do with my boyfriend in a another girls body?" Jake sighed. That was real sympathetic of her, he thought to himself sarcastically. For the next ten minutes, they all stared at each other, particularly Jake and Cricket, and at the board game. Finally Cricket jumped up. "What time is it?" she demanded. "It's only eleven," Kristi told her impatiently. "Oh no!" Cricket moaned. "I'm late!" "What are you talking about?" Kristi snapped. Cricket looked down at herself, then at Jake. "I told my momma that I'd be home by eleven. She'll kill me!" Cricket looked about ready to cry, and Ty looked caught in indecision between trying to comfort her as was normal, and disgust at even touching Jake's body like that. "But I can't go home like this!" she whined more. "And the rules said no one outside the game can know," Ty said in realization. Then they all looked at Jake, who thought 'Oh no!' "Please!" Cricket begged him. "You have to go home for me. I don't wanna be grounded for a month. And that's what momma would do." Jake's stomach turned, not liking that idea at all. This was his house after all, and his parents weren't home. Why couldn't he stay right were he was? But then he saw the pleading look on Cricket's face, and sighed in surrender. "All right," he said reluctantly. "I guess we will have to pretend to be each other until we get back to normal. Or..." he gulped, "it could become permanent." That thought made Jake shudder. "Then I guess we're done for the night," Kristi sighed, looking disappointed. She'd obviously had other plans for her and Jake after Ty and Cricket had left, and now she wasn't going to be able to. "Oh thank you!" Cricket said, giving Jake a hug. He felt so tiny compared to even his old body, and strange when his new breasts pushed into Cricket for a moment. "You'll need this," she said, handing Jake her purse. Then she quickly gave Jake instructions for how to deal with her parents and brother, while at the same time urging him out the door. Minutes later, everyone had left except Cricket. Ty gave Kristi a ride to her house and dropped her off, then drove Jake over to Cricket's. As he got out of the car, and looked at the apartment building, Jake decided that he didn't have a good feeling about that. Not at all. "I'll show you which apartment," Ty told Jake, obviously uncomfortable in his friend's presence. When they got upstairs and to the front door, they both stopped for a moment. Then Jake was caught by surprise when Ty bent over and kissed him in the lips. "What the..." Jake gasped when Ty had pulled away. "God, I'm sorry," Ty apologized, looking embarrassed, "I forgot that..." "Just forget about it!" Jake snapped. Ty still looked embarrassed. "Tomorrow we can try figuring this out... and hopefully get me back to normal." Ty nodded. They said their good-byes, and then Jake used a key he found in the purse to unlock the door, and went inside. Inside the apartment, Jake was struck by just how small it was compared to his house. How different it was, but at the same time, how lived in it looked. This was obviously somebody's home, and not the showpiece that his own house was. Most of his house was just something else for his rich parents to show off, and it needed to be kept in the right condition. This place however, Cricket's apartment, was completely different. Trying to be quiet, Jake started walking through the apartment, not wanting to wake anybody up. He only hoped that he could find Cricket's bedroom all right, not knowing where anything really was. Then Jake suddenly heard, "And where have you been young lady?" Startled he turned and saw a somewhat overweight black woman standing there, looking rather angry. "Well?" she asked again. "I'm sorry," Jake said, guessing that this was Cricket's momma as she called her. "We were just a little late finishing up. We were playing a board game and..." The matronly looking woman just sighed. "I told you eleven o-clock, and it's past that." She scowled. "You know I oughta ground you right here and now... but..." She shook her head slightly. "Just go to bed girl. I'm too tired to yell at you right now." Jake sighed in relief, and then started walking in the direction that Cricket's "momma" had pointed when she said go to bed. With that bit of help, Jake had no problem finding Cricket's bedroom. Once he was in the bedroom, with the lights on, Jake looked around. It was so much smaller than his own room, and so girly. There were pictures of boys all over the walls, mostly black sports stars or musicians that he didn't recognize. Seeing a mirror hanging from the door, Jake went and looked at himself. Cricket stared right back, making him feel uncomfortable. He'd never had a strangers face in the mirror before, so thought that he was handling it pretty well considering. "Shit," he whispered, gently running a finger over his dark skinned face. Over the full lips. He pulled his hand away, staring at it for a moment before looking back into the mirror. The image was still Cricket's. With her beautiful face and the figure that had made her one of the most popular cheerleaders in the school. Jake yawned, realizing that he'd probably better get to bed soon. First however, he realized that he felt a familiar need. Leaving Cricket's room, Jake made his way to the bathroom, and nervously undid her skirt. With the skirt and panties out of the way, he sat down on the toilet seat, reminding himself that this was how he'd have to do it until he could get back to normal. He looked at the feminine pubic mound between his legs, then ran a finger through the silky black hair and touched the folds of his new vagina. He shuddered at the sensitivity. He found that relieving himself felt about the same, though it sort of sprayed out differently. Not on the tight stream he was used to. Afterwards he wiped himself with some toilet paper, remembering that girls had to do that. Several minutes later, he was back in Cricket's room. Standing in front of her mirror, Jake slowly stripped his clothes off. Though Cricket wasn't the type of woman that he liked, Jake had always thought she'd had a nice figure. He just preferred white women, especially blondes. Still her naked body staring back at him couldn't help but make him feel a little horny. His nipples were beginning to get hard, and he could feel his crotch beginning to get a little moist. He gently touched his vagina and verified that he was indeed beginning to get wet, amazing himself at the same time. Though he hadn't wanted to admit it, he had felt a little bit of this earlier when Ty had kissed him. But this was definitely stronger. Jake's hands started rubbing his nipples, almost of their own will. It felt so good to do so. One of his hands slipped in between his legs, and began to gently rub himself there as well. It felt incredible. Jake couldn't believe the strangely familiar sensations, and just how strong they were. He felt both disgusted at himself for the lack of control, and wanting more. Jake climbed onto Cricket's bed, and continued to play with himself, bringing the sexual tension to higher and higher levels until he suddenly orgasmed. It nearly shook his body and Jake gasped for air when it was done. "Wow!" he whispered, tempted to do it again but beginning to feel guilty. Silently he reached over and turned off the light, hoping that he could get to sleep. *** Cricket couldn't believe it. There she was, not only all alone in the house of the richest boy in school, but in his body as well. It felt so freaky to suddenly be turned into a guy, and even freakier when she looked at Jake in her own body, realizing just how small he looked to her now. She could even look Ty straight in the eyes, something that she'd never been able to do before. That, and looking down to see Kristi had almost been fun. Before she'd been too shocked to look down at her new body, half afraid of what she'd see. But now that she was all alone, her curiosity started to return. The thought of being in a guy's body was so embarrassing, and unbelievable. She wanted to look at herself more closely, but at the same time she was afraid to. Instead she decided to divert herself by exploring something else that had been nagging at her curiosity. Namely Jake's house. When Cricket had finally satisfied herself, after peaking into every room, she was forced to confront herself again. Not that she had much choice when she realized that she had to go to the bathroom. The experience was strange for her, standing up and aiming at the toilet. Unfortunately, she found that hitting what she was aiming at wasn't as easy as she'd thought. The small puddle on the floor and the droplets that had splashed around attested to that. "I can't believe I'm touching a white boy's cock," she said aloud, not even having touched Ty's yet. "This is too weird!" she added, looking at the strange piece of flesh between her legs. It looked so pale and unhealthy too, not like her normally dark skin. Beginning to feel a little disgusted, Cricket pulled her pants back up, and hurried out of the bathroom. A short while later, Cricket went into Jake's bedroom, amazed at how big it was compared to hers. And how nice. "This boy is loaded," she observed to herself. As quickly as she could, Cricket stripped out of Jake's clothes, all but his shorts. She then looked at herself in a small mirror in the corner, wincing at the fairly athletic teenage boy that looked back. Not just a boy, but a rich white boy at that. It felt so strange. After looking at herself for only a moment longer, Cricket turned off the light and climbed into bed. It was going to be a long night. *** When Jake woke in the morning, he thought, 'What a strange dream,' until he opened his eyes and was met with the sight of Cricket's bedroom. "Shit!" he muttered, realizing that it hadn't been a dream. "Shit!" he said again, as he climbed out of bed and felt his breasts jiggle uncomfortably. "I can't believe this!" But unfortunately, Jake did. The weight on his chest, and the void between his legs gave him no choice. Jake was about to look into the closet for something to wear, dreading what he was going to find, when he caught sight of Cricket's bathrobe. Jake threw that around his body instead, fastening it tightly at the waist and finding it oddly comfortable. As soon as Jake left the bedroom, determined to find a shower, he was confronted with, "Well good morning sleepy!" Startled Jake looked and saw Cricket's mother. "Mrs... Momma," he caught himself. "Um... good morning." Cricket's momma just sighed and said, "Hurry up girl. Your friend Kristi called and said she was gonna be over in a while." "Thanks!" Jake said, feeling embarrassed. God, how should he face Kristi like this again. But he also knew that if he was going to pretend to be Cricket, which he'd have to in order to get his own body back, he'd need all the help she could give him. Trying to keep that in mind, Jake hurried to the bathroom to take his shower. The shower felt incredibly good to Jake, though he struggled to keep his hands from exploring too much. His nipples felt so sensitive with the water hitting them, quickly becoming erect, and soon Jake was wet in more ways than one. Ignoring the temptation to play with himself, he finished the shower and climbed out. He couldn't believe how good he felt. How refreshed and ready to go. Returning to Cricket's bedroom, Jake started to pick himself some clothes to wear, looking for something that wasn't too showy. It wasn't until he had them pulled out that he remembered that no one could guess he wasn't Cricket, or else... He couldn't do anything out of the ordinary for Cricket, having to stay in character as much as he could. Sighing Jake gave in to his better judgment and slipped on the tight pants that Cricket usually wore, and the too short shirt revealing too much cleavage. He even tried to put on the makeup the way she usually did, failing absolutely miserably. Finally Jake gave up on that, cleaning the remains of it off of his face, and waiting for Kristi. She at least would be able to help him. *** When Cricket awoke in the morning, she was startled to feel a pressure between her legs. Sitting up, she gasped, remembering immediately what had happened the day before, but still was unable to take her eyes off the bulge in her shorts. They felt so tight, and she was shocked to realize that she had an erection. "I've got a boner," she whispered to herself, nervously touching the bulge in her shorts with a finger. After a few minutes, she was still hard, and it felt rather odd. Curious she couldn't resist sliding a hand down her shorts and feeling it. "Wow!!" she gasped, and then stripped the shorts off to get a better look at herself. It was a lot bigger than it was the day before now that she was hard. And it certainly felt a lot better. Cricket found her hands stroking her new penis, almost on their own. It felt good, and so different. She felt herself getting closer and closer, then finally she came, spurting white creamy goo all over her hand, and on the bed. "Gross!" she said, wiping her hand in disgust. And already her hard-on was gone, leaving her penis once again at its smaller size. Cricket wrinkled her nose in disgust at the sticky mess that she'd left, and decided to go shower and clean up. *** Kristi couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that what happened the night before was real. That her best friend and boyfriend had traded bodies because of some freaky game. She was even beginning to doubt her memories of the night before, or wondering if instead it might be some sort of joke that they were playing on her. But it had seemed to real, and her memories were far too sharp. No, Kristi decided that it had to be real, as unbelievable as it seemed. She wasn't used to doubting herself, and refused to keep doing so now. Though thought of James, stuck in Cricket's body almost seemed amusing to Kristi. But after all the time and effort she'd put into seducing him, into making sure that he was hers... Unfortunately rich potential husbands weren't easy to come by, and with the wealth that Jake's family had, and his future career as a lawyer, Jake had been her best hope to get somewhere in the world. Kristi shuddered at the thought of having to start all over again. Perhaps even with Cricket. That last really made her shudder. After Kristi had gotten up, and doubted what had happened, she made a quick call to Cricket to verify that it hadn't been a dream. She'd called Jake's house, and was pleased when Jake's voice answered the phone, and even more pleased when he/she verified that she was really Cricket. "Jake's housekeeper even made me breakfast!" Cricket had told her excitedly. Once she'd gotten off the phone with Cricket, Kristi thought about her, all alone in Jake's house. Except for the housekeeper of course. Just thinking about that made Kristi feel somewhat envious; almost wishing that it had been her that had traded with Jake instead of Cricket. Then she'd be the one with access to all that money. Hell, she wouldn't need to marry Jake anymore, she'd be him. Kristi chuckled at the thought, finding it oddly appealing. However they still didn't have any idea how to reverse the swap, much less cause another. So for the moment, Kristi put that out of her mind, or at least tried to. Instead, Kristi decided to see how Jake was handling what happened. "That ought to be worth some laughs," she muttered as she reached for the phone. A little while later, Kristi started towards Cricket's apartment, eager to see just how well Jake was doing. He hadn't been up yet when she'd called earlier, but Kristi figured that he should be up by now. When she got there, Kristi was rather startled to see that Jake was dressed in Cricket's usual revealing way, not at all conservative like she would have suspected. Then Kristi remembered the rule about no one being able to guess who they were, or actually, who they weren't. Obviously Jake had remembered that one as well. And for the moment, Kristi decided that helping Jake to pass as Cricket was in her best interest. "Okay, let me help you with your makeup," Kristi told Jake when she noticed that he hadn't put any on. "Thanks!" he said, actually sounding relieved. She grinned, thinking that this might be easier than she thought. So, with great enthusiasm, Kristi started on teaching Jake everything she could about makeup, as well as how Cricket normally acted, being careful that Cricket's mom didn't notice any of this. It certainly wouldn't do to arouse suspicions while trying to avoid them. Jake had been thankful for the help that Kristi had been giving him, and had learned a lot from her makeup lessons. 'So that's how they do it,' he thought to himself once he was finished and looked in the mirror. The reflection was Cricket's, showing no hint that it could be anyone else. Much to Jake's disgust, and relief. "Ready to go?" Kristi asked from behind Jake, a slightly smug grin on her face, though Jake didn't see it. "Sure," he nodded, getting up and trying to keep his balance in the high heels that he'd put on. It hadn't been easy, but with wearing them for the last few hours during their lessons, and his being able to practice around the room, he was sure that he could manage. "Not bad," he muttered under his breath as he took another look at the mirror and admired the reflection. He shook his head, hardly able to believe that it was him. That he was that beautiful black girl that stared back. And though he knew he should feel ashamed, he felt a slight tinge of pride instead. Then Jake turned back to Kristi and said, "Well... what are we waiting for?" "Not a damn thing!" she said grinning. And with that they started on their way to the mall, ready for Kristi and Cricket's usual Saturday shopping, though Cricket's was just window shopping. At the mall, Jake found himself tagging along behind Kristi while she rushed them from one shop to another, trying on numerous different shoes and clothes. He wasn't sure that he liked being put in the role of Kristi's sidekick, but since he didn't know what was really going on, he didn't have much choice. But he did find some positives about the situation. Such as seeing Kristi numerous times in various states of undress as they changed clothes in the dressing rooms. And he even found that it was fun to play dress-up himself. He was amazed at just how much his entire appearance could change with just some different clothes, and oddly enough, how good that made him feel. He was actually getting turned on by the sexy clothes he was wearing. Slowly Jake forgot about his embarrassment, and following Kristi's lead, he let himself go wild. Let himself fall into the role of sidekick and teenage girl, trying on the makeup and clothes. Even chatting with Kristi about how some of the jewelry in the jewelry store would look on them. As the day went on, Jake never noticed the self- satisfied smile that kept appearing on Kristi's face. When the shopping trip was finally over and they returned to Cricket's apartment, Jake hadn't bought a thing, though due to Kristi's generosity, and insistence, he still had several new additions to Cricket's wardrobe. One of them he wore back, at Kristi's insistence, though he hadn't really offered any resistance either, secretly enjoying himself. Once they were back in Cricket's room, Kristi told Jake, "You look fantastic. I bet Ty will love it!" Jake's eyes went wide as he thought about his best friend seeing him like that. "What do you mean?" he nervously asked, gulping. God, he'd be so embarrassed. It was bad enough to be seen like that by his girlfriend, but his best friend... Jake gulped. "Of course!" Kristi responded. "Cricket and Ty had a date tonight. Or I should say, you and Ty have a date tonight." "But I can't..." Jake started to protest. "You have to," Kristi told him, smiling. "We can't let anyone see anything out of the ordinary. And not going on this date would certainly seem that." Jake groaned. "I guess you're right," he admitted, "but I don't like it." At least, he told himself, he wouldn't have to do anything with Ty once they were out of the house. Afterwards they could just go over to his place or something. Kristi put her hand on Jake's shoulder and looked sympathetic. "Look at the bright side. You're already dressed for it, and you'll get to see what it's like from the other side." She giggled slightly, making Jake smile in spite of himself. "Well..." Kristi looked at her watch. "I've got to get going, and Ty should be here in a little while. Cricket told me that their date was for six." Jake nodded, then said goodbye to Kristi as she left. After leaving Jake at Cricket's apartment, Kristi hurried over to Jake's house to see how Cricket was doing. She was eager to see just how well Cricket was handling the situation after being with Jake all day. She waited impatiently for someone to answer the door after she'd rang the doorbell, and soon the housekeeper let her in. "Jake's up in his room," the frumpy middle aged woman told Kristi. "He's been there for most of the day." Kristi thanked the woman, then hurried up to Jake's room, resisting the urge to actually run. Kristi burst into Jake's room, and grinned to see Cricket sitting there at Jake's computer. "Hi, how's it going?" she asked cheerfully, glad that Cricket didn't seem to be too happy. It wouldn't due for her to get too comfortable in her new body, not if Kristi was to ever have any kind of chance. "All right I guess," Cricket said, "all things considered that is." She gestured down at herself and gave Kristi a wry smile. "It's kind of freaky really, but in some way's it's not that much different." For the next several minutes, they talked, avoiding the subject of the change, but soon their conversation returned to it. "So what did you do all day?" Kristi asked. Cricket sighed. "Mostly I just surfed the web. We don't have any computers at home so I've never really had a chance to do that much before." She looked embarrassed and added, "I was kind of embarrassed and didn't really wanna go out like this." She gestured at herself. "Ty called this morning, but I think that he's too embarrassed about it to see me too." Cricket sounded rather sad and sighed. "I can't say that I blame him though." "That's too bad," Kristi said sympathetically. "I can't wait to get back to normal!" Cricket told Kristi. "This is just too weird for me. I mean, it's kind of cool to be so much bigger and stronger, and even be in this house, but it's just not me." Kristi nodded in agreement. "Besides", Cricket suddenly said, grinning broadly, "I think that I've figured out how me and Jake can get back to normal." "Really?" Kristi exclaimed, trying to hold down her excitement. "How?" Cricket looked slightly smug. "By playing that game again." When she saw the blank look on Kristi's face, she sighed. "We just play the game again, and whoever wins will get to trade bodies again. We just need to find some way to make sure that me or Jake wins, and get to be each other." "Awesome!" Kristi gasped. They'd just need to cheat somehow, and she thought that it could be interesting, if she could find some way to influence it that is. "We can even try it again tonight," Cricket said, getting more excited. Kristi nodded, not sure that she wanted to play again until she could even the odds a little more. "I'll call Jake and Ty to see if they can come," Kristi said, feigning excitement. She went over an
