The Role Exchanger 2
By Morpheus
Part 1
It was a nice Saturday in the quiet suburban neighborhood, with the people
who lived there going about their normal business. There was nothing to
break the usual peace and calm... until now.
There was a strange flickering in the very air as a glowing blue ball of
light slowly moved across the sky above. Reality itself seemed to rippled
around the alien entity... Then it paused, hovering above the
neighborhood, silently observing. Observing and trying to understand.
The entity was not from that world... and the people that it observed
confused/confounded/amazed it. Its thoughts, emotions, and perspectives
were so alien as to be nearly incomprehensible, yet it found this world to
be equally alien. It looked upon the strange creatures that inhabited that
world with curiosity/benevolence.
Even though the entity had observed the creatures of that world before, it
was no closer to truly understanding them or their world. Their lack of
uniformity and their taking of different roles seemed completely alien.
Then it came to the conclusion/decision/whim to experiment on/help the
native creatures... To increase/expand it's own understanding... and theirs.
And with that, the Role Exchanger slowly moved to locate it's first
assist/experiment...

Janice adjusted her glasses and tried to focus on her history report,
frowning in annoyance as she glanced over at her sister Beth. She frowned
more, trying her hardest not to look at her older sister... though unable to
resist a quick glance.
It seemed something of an irony to Janice that, though they were sisters
and separated by only a year, she and her 17 year old older sister were
completely different. In fact, they were almost complete opposites, with
Beth taking after their mother while Janice was left to take after their
less impressive looking father.
Beth was tall, beautiful and blonde, being one of the most popular girls
on the cheerleading squad... and as a result, in the school. She was almost the
very stereotype of a cheerleader.
On the other hand, Janice was more the quintessential nerd, being skinny,
nearly flat chested and plain looking, while possessing a slightly higher
than average IQ.
It was with a sigh of annoyance and envy that Janice looked over at Beth,
who was admiring her latest sexy outfit in the mirror, preparing for her
date... which was still hours away. That especially annoyed Janice, because
she hadn't ever been on a real date or had a real boyfriend, while her
sister was juggling a half dozen of them at a time.
Suddenly Janice felt a strange tingle rush through her body and very being.
She let out a gasp, then shook her head. But as she looked around, she
realized that everything was becoming blurry. Janice removed her glasses to
rub her eyes but was surprised to realize that she could see better without
them. In fact, she could see perfectly fine without her classes.
"What?" Beth suddenly gasped from the other side of their bedroom, "I can't
see... Everything's gone blurry..."
"I... I can see," Janice whispered in amazement.
However, Janice was distracted from the fact that she could now see without
her glasses by pressure in her chest. She looked down and her eyes went
wide in amazement as she saw her shirt beginning to push out in front. Her
breasts were growing right before her eyes. And as she grabbed at them, she
let out a gasp of delight as she saw that they were real and solid.
"Wow," Janice grinned in delight. She had no idea what was happening, but
it felt oh so good... "I have breasts... Real breasts..."
At the same time, Beth let out a scream, and Janice turned to see her
sister standing there... now as flat chested as she herself had been just a
minute earlier. But more than that, the rest of Beth's curves seemed to be
slowly fading as well...
Janice stared at Beth, then down at herself, feeling her clothes getting
tight on her... especially in her chest and hips. She could see that her
whole body was changing, becoming curvier... just like Beth's was... had been.
And when she looked up and saw that Beth's very face had changed... becoming
less beautiful and more... plain, Janice realized that she must have changed
there as well.
"Out of my way," Janice blurted out as she rushed to the mirror, gasping in
awe as she saw her reflection, "Is that me..."
The image that Janice saw in the mirror was her... but an idealized her.
She was much more attractive than she had ever thought she could be... even
beautiful. Her hand moved to her face and she saw that even her nails were
long and not bitten off like she was used to seeing.
And as Janice stared at her reflection, her hair started to lighten... to
turn soft and blonde. Out of the corner of her eyes, she could see Beth's
hair darkening...
"What's happening to me?" Beth tearfully demanded.
"I don't know," Janice shook her head, unable to tear her eyes from the
beautiful girl in the mirror, "But I LIKE it."
With that, Janice tried to ignore her still sobbing sister as she looked
herself over, realizing that she was definitely going to need some new
clothes. And a boy... She licked her lips at the thought. There was no
way that she was going to get a boy just sitting around the house and
playing around with some silly history stuff.
"Yuck," Janice cringed, "Who cares about that past stuff anyway..."
Then Janice slowly turned to Beth and grinned, "Do you mind of I
like... borrow some of your clothes?" She was dying to show her new body
off. After all, there were so many boys and so little time...
Part 2
Martin paused from where he was mowing the lawn and wiped his forehead
before glancing around at the rest of the lawn that he had yet to mow. So
far he had only finished half of it, a fact which annoyed him some as he
wanted to go see one of his friend's instead.
Then Martin looked over at the swing-set where his 8 year old little sister
Tina was playing. He let out a sigh at that, thinking that it wasn't fair
that he had to do chores while she just got to keep lying around. But then
again, since he was 14, his parents expected him to help out around the
house.
"You're lucky you don't have to mow the lawn or do anything," Martin called
out to Tina with a little of the annoyance in his voice.
Tina just grinned and stuck her tongue out at him, asked, "Can you give me
a push..."
Martin rolled his eyes, "Sure..."
As he went over to the swing, Tina grinned up at him, "I wish I was big
enough to push myself." Playing small, cute and helpless was one of her
favorite tactics to get what she wanted, though Martin didn't fall for it as
well as their parents did.
Just then, Martin noticed something out of the corner of his eye. It
looked like some sort of glowing blue ball that was high in the air, but
just as he was starting to turn for a better look, he suddenly felt
extremely strange.
At first, Martin just felt dizzy, but then suddenly everything went dark
and numb, reality itself seemed to have been ripped out from under him. And
just a moment later, everything returned. However, it was not the same...
"What the..." Martin gasped in confusion as he suddenly realized that he
was staring up at a boy who looked just like himself.
Then Martin's eyes went wider as he realized that he was now sitting on a
swing. He looked down at himself, letting out a loud scream in a familiar
girl's voice... Tina's voice. It was her body... he had turned into TINA.
"NO," Martin gasped out as he used his little girl hand's to grab his now
long, dark blonde hair.
"I feel funny," Tina exclaimed from Martin's body a few feet away. She
looked down at herself, then at Martin before whispering, "Wow... I'm so
big..."
Martin could only stare up at his sister in shock, then back down at
himself. As impossible as it was, there was no doubt that they had somehow
traded bodies. It didn't make sense...
"This kind of stuff doesn't happen," Martin gulped, "It's impossible..."
However, he couldn't argue with the proof that was in front of him. With
the proof that WAS him.
"Oh wow," Tina giggled as she put a hand on top of Martin's head, giggling
again, "Are you me now? You look so small..."
"And... and you look so big," Martin whispered, beginning to become afraid.
He felt so small and weak, with everything around him seeming so much bigger
than normal.
Tina grinned from Martin's body as she looked at the swing-set, gasping,
"Everything is so small..."
Martin grimaced, wanting to scream out in rage and confusion. But he
closed his eyes, slowly counting to five before saying, "We've got to figure
out how to get back to normal..."
He shuddered, not wanting to be in Tina's body for a moment more than he had
to. It was just too weird... There was no way that he wanted to be stuck
as a little girl... not even for a minute.
"No way," Tina giggled again, "This is fun..."
"We've got to change back..." Martin snapped, getting angry at just how
well Tina was taking their strange switch.
But Tina just stuck her tongue out as she stared down at him, "No way..."
Then she grinned, smugly adding, "And you can't make me..."
"What?" Martin gasped in surprise. "But..."
"I'm gonna go play now," Tina grinned, sticking her tongue out at him one
more time before turning and running away.
"NO!" Martin cried out, trying to run after his sister but not being able
to keep up with her in his new smaller body. "NO..."
And as Martin hit the ground, crying at how his whole life had just been
destroyed, he caught sight of the blue glow out of the corner of his eye
again. He grimaced, remembering how he'd seen it right before he and Tina
had traded places.
"That blue glow," Martin whispered to himself, his mind racing as grew sure
that this had something to do with how he and Tina had traded bodies. And
if it had changed them in the first place, it might be able to change them
back.
Part 3
Dan shifted his position ever so slightly from where he sat on the couch,
his eyes remaining locked on the game on ESPN. He smiled, setting his beer
on top of his beer belly, glad to see that his team was ahead.
Then as the game hit a slow moment, he glanced back at his wife Janet who
was busy vacuuming the floor. Dan had been tempted to ask her to be quiet
so that he could hear the game, though he knew better than to even try.
Suddenly their 14 year old son Martin burst into the room, stopped in front
of them both and flexed his muscles, proudly exclaiming, "Look how big and
strong I am now..." And with that, he let out a loud giggle before running
out of the room.
For a moment, Dan just stared at where his son had run off to, then he
shook his head. "That boy is getting weird..."
"He's a teenager," Janet commented as if that explained it all, "And a male
one at that..."
After shaking his head, Dan tried turning his attention back to the game
while Janet took one look at her husband and let out a sigh. It just didn't
seem fair that every weekend he would sit down and do nothing but watch
sports and drink beer while she was left to do all the housework. Then she
blinked, feeling just a little odd.
"Time for a bathroom break," Dan muttered, getting up without concern that
the game was beginning to get more active.
As Dan left the room, Janet found herself watching the TV. The movement of
the players was almost hypnotic, and she found herself silently cheering for
Dan's... her team. This game was much more interesting than she ever would
have guessed...
With that, Janet moved over to the couch and sat down in Dan's favorite
spot, the vacuum completely forgotten about for the moment. Her eyes
remained riveted to the TV, though one of her hands undid the top button of
her pants, which were beginning to feel a bit tight.
"I must be putting on some weight," Janet muttered to herself, though she
had always worked hard to keep herself fit.
Janet let out a loud unladylike belch, then absently scratched at her
crotch without even thinking of it. She frowned as her team was getting
behind, then settled her hand on her stomach which seemed to be growing into
a decent beer belly without her even being aware of it.
Dan came back from the bathroom a minute later, holding his pants up since
they had gotten a bit loose, as though he had just lost a bit of weight.
However, Dan just smiled at that, knowing that his new diet and efforts to
keep fit must have been paying off...
Then he saw Janet sitting in front of the TV and paused, watching the game
for just a moment before yawning. It was so boring... He just couldn't see
how he'd ever been interested in a bunch of people just running around...
It barely even made any sense to him.
At a faint shake of his head and a sigh at how Janet was just sitting there
like a mindless lump, Dan picked up the vacuum and looked around the living
room. There was still a bit of cleaning around the house that needed to be
done.
"Hey honey," Janet called back, not even looking away from the game, "Can
you bring me a beer..."
For a moment, Dan just blinked in confusion, thinking that it was odd since
Janet didn't even like beer. But then he shook his head, feeling a bit
embarrassed for forgetting that HE was the one who preferred a nice wine
cooler to beer.
When Dan had brought Janet her beer, she just mumbled her thanks, as if he
wasn't quite as important as the game on in front of her. He sighed,
knowing that he couldn't expect anything different as long as the game was
on.
"Oh well," Dan said as he picked up the vacuum, "I still have a lot to
do... And what am I going to fix for dinner..."
Part 4
Martin stood out in the back yard, staring down at himself in stunned
horror. No matter how many times he looked at himself, he was still the
same. He was still trapped in his little sister Tina's body.
"What happened to me?" Martin asked, not for the first time. "I can't be
eight years old again..." He shook his head, "I can't be a girl..."
Then Martin shook his head in frustration. He didn't even know what had
made him and Tina trade bodies. All that he knew was that he'd seen
something blue out of the corner of his eye when it had happened.
Finally, after staying in the back yard for another fifteen minutes, Martin
sighed and went inside the house. Maybe his parents could help him and Tina
get back to normal... if they believed him. It might not be easy since Tina
didn't want to go back to normal yet.
However, when Martin went inside the house, he froze, staring at his
parents in surprise. His dad was standing there, dusting down the
furniture, and looking almost thin. And at the same time, his mom was
sitting on the couch, staring at the TV with a beer in hand. And he gasped
at the realization that her stomach had gotten bigger.
"What's going on?" Martin gasped in surprise.
Martin gulped, staring at his parents. To his horror, it looked as though
they might have swapped bodies the same way that he and Tina had. Now
they'd have no choice but to believe him...
"What do you mean honey? Martin's dad responded with a look of confusion.
"Um... mom..." Martin said, staring at his dad who was still dusting.
"What?" Martin's mom responded from the couch, not bothering to look back.
Then she said, "Keep it quiet will you... This game is incredible... I
can't believe I missed the rest of the season..."
"Dad?" Martin blinked as he stared at his mom.
"What?" his dad asked in exasperation.
Then Martin shook his head in confusion. His mom and dad were acting just
like each other... It was almost like they had traded bodies like he and
Tina had... but it wasn't quite like that. His dad still answered when he
called for his dad and his mom still answered when he called for his mom.
It was like they had traded places... but didn't even seem to know it.
"Weird," Martin gulped, shaking his head. But he supposed that it wasn't
really any weirder than what had happened to him and Tina.
Martin went to his bedroom, wanting to think things through... or at least
be alone. However, he found that Tina was already there in his body.
Looking up at his giant of a sister, Martin exclaimed, "Get out. This is
my room..."
"Not anymore," Tina grinned down at Martin from his own 14 year old body,
"It's my room now..."
And then, Tina grabbed Martin's arm. He struggled go pull loose, but she
was just too big and strong for him. He continued to struggle, but it was
no use at all. She easily shoved him right out the door without his even
being able to do anything about it. The door to his own bedroom slammed
shut behind him and he could hear it locking.
The words 'my room now' echoed in Martin's head. He gulped, realizing that
Tina had not only taken his body but seemed to want to take his whole life
as well. And with her being as big as she was in comparison to him now,
there was nothing that he could do about it. Not with his parents acting
all weird like that and not even seeming to know that they were.
Since Martin obviously wasn't going to get anything figured out inside the
house, he went out into the front yard. At least there he wouldn't have to
deal with Tina or his weird parents.
Martin looked across the street where he noticed a couple of the neighbor
kids playing in their front yard. It was Suzie and Billy, a couple of 10
year old twins.
At the moment, Suzie was busy playing with her dolls while Billy was a
using a toy gun to chase some imagined bad guy. But as Martin watched, they
both suddenly paused and looked confused. They even dropped their toys,
suddenly looking completely bored with them.
"What?" Martin blinked at the way that they were both suddenly acting
different.
And then, as if to prove Martin's suspicions, Billy bent over and picked up
Suzie's dropped dolls... looking quite interested in them. At the same time,
she had retrieved his toy gun. In just moments, they were both back to
playing... but with each other's toys.
"Oh wow," Martin gulped, thinking that this was exactly like what had
happened to his parents. Whatever had messed with him and Tina... and their
parents had just gotten Billy and Suzie.
It was then that Martin noticed something from the corner of his eyes. It
was that blue glow again. He turned to look at it directly, but it seemed
to be gone. However, he'd seen which direction that the glow had been
moving in and with a grimace of determination, he began following.
Part 5
Sue smiled gratefully at Evie, the 13 year old girl from next door, then
handed her a ten dollar bill.
"Thank you for watching Tyler for me," Sue told Evie, quickly glancing her 4
year old son who was busy playing with his toys on the floor. "I'm glad
that you could watch him for a few hours while I took care of the shopping."
"No problem," Evie grinned, happily eying the money and thinking of what
she could spend it on. "I like babysitting him..." Evie just didn't
mention how much she also liked getting money.
Then Sue settled her hand on her swollen stomach, smiling as she thought of
the 8 months that it had taken to get that large. And of the one final
month that she had left to carry that weight.
"It won't be long before I have another little one for you to babysit too,"
Sue told Evie with a pleasant smile. Then Sue gasped, "Oooh, the little
devil just kicked..."
"Can I feel it?" Evie asked eagerly.
"Sure," Sue nodded, gently patting her pregnant belly, "Right here..."
"Oooh," Evie grinned, "I felt him kick..."
"Not as much as I felt it," Sue sighed.
Just then, Sue felt a strange tingling wash through her body. She
staggered for a moment, "These pregger hormones take a lot out of you..."
"Oh," Evie shook her head, "I feel weird..."
Sue gasped as she felt the strange tingling in her stomach, suddenly
becoming worried. This was the second time that she'd been pregnant, and
she had never felt anything like this before. She set her hand on her
stomach, then gasped in shock as she felt it actually becoming smaller
beneath her hand.
At the same time, Evie gulped, feeling something extremely weird within her
own stomach. She looked down and gasped as it seemed to be bigger. Evie
grabbed at her stomach, feeling it actually getting bigger...
"What's wrong with me?" Evie and Sue simultaneously gasped in fear.
"My baby," Sue gulped, her eyes widening as her stomach looked 5 months
pregnant, then 4...
Evie cried out, having to undo her pants buttons as her stomach continued
to expand, swelling larger and larger with every passing moment. Evie
looked up at Sue, her eyes begging for help... but then she froze as she saw
that Sue's maternity clothes were loose... She could only stare as Sue's
stomach became smaller... while hers continued to grow larger.
"MY BABY," Sue cried out in horror as she grabbed at her new flat stomach.
There was no sign of her baby... no sign that she was pregnant at all.
"My stomach," Evie cried, tears rushing down her cheeks
Evie clutched her massive stomach in shock, confusion and horror. It was
so huge... and heavy. It almost felt like she had a pumpkin in there...
Sue could only stare at her own flat stomach in complete shock, until
Evie's crying drew her attention. She looked to the girl's massive swollen
stomach and let out a loud gasp.
"My baby..." Sue gulped, unable to take her eyes off of Evie.
Evie tore her eyes off of the huge bulge that her stomach had become, then
stared at Sue's flat stomach. She gasped, then gasped even louder as she
felt something kick inside of her.
For a moment, Sue and Evie could only stare at each other in horror and
simultaneous understanding. And a moment later, they both let out their
loudest screams...
---
Frank frowned slightly as he stared at his reflection in the mirror, then
reached for the beard trimmer. It was getting about time to trim it down a
little, though his wife had hinted several times that she wouldn't mind
seeing the whole thing go.
"Not my pride and joy," Frank chuckled to himself.
It was then that Frank noticed the 6 year old boy who had wandered into the
bathroom and was standing there behind him, watching in unusual silence.
"Hey sport," Frank greeted his son Billy.
Billy just looked up at his dad, then asked, "Why do you shave?"
Frank rolled his eyes slightly as the 'why game' had begun. The frequent
questions were something that he had gotten used to while having a curious
little boy around the house. But that was all right as long as the
questions didn't turn to ones about the birds and the bees.
"To look good," Frank answered slowly. "It's like getting a hair cut on my
face..."
"Why don't I shave?" Billy asked curiously.
"Because you're a little boy," Frank responded with the same answer that he
gave to so many of Billy's questions. "You'll shave when you're a little
older..."
Just then, Frank felt a strange tingling along his skin. He blinked,
wondering if he'd gotten some sort of static shock, but then he froze,
noticing his reflection in the mirror.
"What the hell?" Frank gasped in confusion.
Frank's reflection in the mirror was changing... at least his reflection's
beard was. His reflection's beard was much thinner and shorter... and
getting even more so. Frank couldn't resist grabbing his own beard but
gasping in shock as he felt little more than stubble on his chin. And even
that quickly faded away.
"What the hell?" Frank repeated.
He ran his hand over his cheeks, but they were perfectly smooth... without
even a trace of stubble. Not even the slight roughness that he used to feel
after a good thorough shave.
And then Frank noticed his arms. They were hairless. His arms were
completely smooth, without a single hair on them.
"What's going on?" Frank gulped.
Frank ran his hands over his arms, then quickly felt under his arm...
There wasn't a single hair... Not on his arms... not under his arm
pits... and not on his chest. In fact, he quickly discovered that he didn't
seem to have a single hair anywhere on his body anymore... except for his
eyebrows and what was on his head.
Then Frank heard Billy giggle and exclaim, "This is funny daddy..."
"What?" the confused man responded as he turned to look.
Suddenly Frank froze at the sight of his son... and the full beard that grew
from the 6 year old's face. And following that was the realization that
Billy now had hairy arms and chest. In fact, from what Frank could see, his
son now had a good bit of body hair.
"Oh my God," Frank gasped, sure that he had to be having some sort of weird
nightmare.
However, Billy just pulled on his new beard and giggled, "Can I shave now
daddy..."
Part 6
Martin frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable and nervous as he walked
down his own street. He gulped, looking around. Everything looked so much
bigger than normal. But that wasn't surprising since he was currently
trapped in the body of his 8 year old sister.
"I feel so small," Martin whispered.
Then he shuddered. He felt so small, weak and helpless. How in the world
could he possibly be stuck as Tina? He couldn't bear the thought.
Just then, Martin froze as he heard a scream coming from the house next to
him. He was about to run over and check it out, but then he saw someone
else on the street. Someone he recognized.
"Beth," Martin called out to her.
For as long as Martin could remember, he'd had a crush on the pretty blonde
17 year old cheerleader who lived just a few houses down from him. Then
again, that was nothing unusual as nearly every boy that she saw liked her.
However, unlike most of the other boys, Martin had always liked Beth's
sister Janice too. She wasn't as pretty as Beth, but she'd always been
pretty nice to Martin, even helping him with his homework a couple of times.
"Sorry Tina," the girl exclaimed as she got closer, "But I'm not Beth..."
It was only then that Martin got a closer look and gasped in surprise.
From a distance, even a close distance, she definitely resembled Beth. She
was very pretty, had the blonde hair and even wore the same clothes as Beth.
But when Martin took a second look, he was shocked to realize that this
was Beth's sister Janice.
"Janice?" Martin gasped in disbelief. Whatever had changed him had
obviously gotten to her too.
"Yeah," she giggled and tossed her blonde hair back, "Do you like?" She
spun around to let him get a look at her body, "I've just had like, the
worlds BEST makeover..."
"But..." Martin stammered, "What happened to you?"
"Sorry Tina," Janice shrugged, obviously thinking that Martin was his
sister, which was no surprise since he was still in her body. "I'd like to
talk more, but I'm going to go see Mark and show him my new look..."
And with that, Janice gave Martin a quick and patronizing pat on his head
before walking down the street. All that he could do was stare after her,
feeling awed by her sudden transformation and ashamed at how small he was
next to her.
"I feel like a midget," he whined to himself.
After shaking his head, Martin took several deep breaths and then took a
slow look around the neighborhood. He gulped, knowing that whatever was
going on was much bigger than just him and Tina trading bodies. It seemed
to be messing with just about everyone in the neighborhood.
But then, Martin was distracted by the sight of what at first impression,
seemed to be Janice standing outside of her house. She had dark hair that
was pulled back into a ponytail, was wearing frumpy clothes and
glasses... just like Janice normally did. However, after just running into
Janice, he knew that this wasn't her.
"Um... Beth?" Martin asked her nervously as he went over.
Beth looked down at Martin and he gulped, seeing that it was indeed her.
She didn't look like herself though. She just looked more... plain. Beth
wasn't nearly as pretty as normal, and she even had a bit of acne, which he
didn't think she'd ever had. It was her... but it was definitely not the
Beth that he knew.
"You... you know who I am?" Beth blinked in surprise, then adjusted her
glasses as though she had been wearing them for years.
"What happened to you and Janice?" Martin asked, already knowing the
answer.
"How did you know?" Beth paused, looking around nervously, then looking
down at Martin. "You're acting a bit unusual Tina..."
"I... I'm not Tina," Martin told her, hoping... praying that she'd believe
him. He wasn't sure that he'd believe him if an 8 year old girl came up and
said that she was really a 14 year old boy. "I'm Martin..."
"Martin?" Beth frowned skeptically.
"Me and Tina switched bodies," Martin admitted shamefully, feeling
humiliated by that fact. "We were in our back yard and then suddenly we
were each other..."
"Unbelievable," Beth gasped. She cringed, looking down at herself with a
look of disgust. "So I'm not the only one..."
Martin shook his head, "No..."
Beth just stood there, looking as though she were about to start crying.
"Something gave Janice my breasts and my prettiness..." She shook her head
and admitted, "I think it did something to my head too..."
Martin could only nod at that, having seen similar things with the way that
his parents were acting and the way that the kids across the street had
suddenly exchanged interest in their toys.
"I can't handle this," Beth cried out, "This isn't fair..."
"I know," Martin grimaced, "I don't want to be a girl..."
"I'll never get a boyfriend again," Beth whimpered, "I'm just a nerd
now..."
Then Beth shook her head and hurried away, leaving Martin standing there
alone. He gulped, shaking as he watched her run away. He'd been hoping
that the older girl would help him figure out how to get back to normal.
"I guess..." Martin whispered as he thought about the fact that least he
was still thinking like himself, "I guess it could have been even worse..."
However, that was still rather hard for him to imagine.
Part 7
Chloe smiled as she pulled into the driveway, letting out a sigh of relief.
It had been a rather enjoyable last couple of days, but a rather busy
couple of days as well. She wasn't used to having someone else to look
after.
With that, Chloe looked over at the passenger side of the car where her 10
year old niece Kim sat. Kim had been visiting her for the last several
days, but now it was finally time to return her home.
"We're home," Chloe smiled to her niece.
"It was fun," Kim grinned as they climbed out of the car.
As they were heading up to the door, Chloe heard something and turned to
look over at the next yard where the neighbor was busy working in the
garden. The neighbor was an Asian woman in her late thirties or early forties. Chloe
didn't even know the woman's name.
"Her last name is probably Lee," Chloe smirked to herself, knowing that so
many of those people had the same last name.
Just then, Chloe felt a strange tingling over her skin. It almost felt
like goosebumps running over her entire body all at once. She shivered,
then glanced down at Kim.
"Your mom is going to be happy to have you back," Chloe smiled.
However, as Kim grinned back up at her, Chloe blinked in surprise. Kim's
normally bluish gray eyes... about the same color as her own, where now
brown. Then Chloe realized that Kim's hair was getting darker. It was
getting darker even as she watched, turning from blonde to a dark brown, and
then to black.
"What the hell?" Chloe gasped in horror as she took a step back.
But even as Chloe watched, Kim continued to change. Kim's skin grew
slightly darker as well, taking on a somewhat different tone. And her
eyes... Kim's eyes narrowed on the sides...
"Aunt Chloe?" Kim gasped in shock. "You look funny..."
"Me..." Chloe blinked in surprise.
Chloe looked down at herself and let out a loud gasp. Her skin was darker.
She stared at Kim, then her hands went up to her face. It felt
different...
Suddenly Chloe noticed the Asian woman next door. Her hair was... blonde.
It took a moment to realize that this was indeed the same woman, because she
didn't look the same as she had just a minute earlier. That wasn't an Asian
woman working in the garden, but a blue eyed, blonde haired Caucasian. And
she didn't even seem to notice that she had changed.
"Oh my God," Chloe gulped, giving one more glance at Kim before suddenly
running into the house.
Chloe didn't wait for her sister to come and let her in, nor even wait for
an invitation. She just ran through the open door and straight for where
she knew the bathroom was. Then she froze, staring at her reflection in
absolute shock and disbelief.
"What's happening?" Chloe gasped, her eyes going wide. Or at least going
as wide as they now seemed to be able to.
The reflection wasn't hers... or at least not the reflection that she knew.
It wasn't her... It couldn't be... There was an Asian woman staring back
from the mirror. She had black hair rather than Chloe's normal blonde and
almond shaped eyes. Her whole face seemed subtly altered... It was her
face... and was recognizable as her... but it was also undeniably Asian.
Just then Kim came in, staring up at her, "What's happening to you Aunt
Chloe..."
Chloe could only gulp in fear and confusion. "I... I don't know."
Then Chloe gestured for Kim to see her own reflection. The girl took a
look into the mirror as well and let out a loud gasp.
"Is... is that me?" Kim whimpered.
"Yeah..." Chloe whispered, "I think it is..." Then she paled, "What am I
going to tell people..." Especially when she didn't even know herself.
A moment later, Chloe heard her sister's voice call out, "What, you
couldn't even say hi to me when you got here...?"
But as Chloe's sister and Kim's mother stepped into the bathroom, she
froze, her eyes going wide in confusion.
"Hi mommy," Kim waved at her somewhat nervously...
A moment later, a sphere of glowing blue light slowly moved away from the
house, followed by the sounds of three screams....
Part 8
Janice smiled as she walked down the street, soaking up the attention that
she knew everyone who saw her was giving. She absolutely loved the new
her, the new beauty and the new curves. For the first time in her life, she
felt beautiful and wanted. For the first time in her life, she felt as
though she wasn't in Beth's shadow.
"She's in mine now," Janice smirked as she looked down at her curvy new
body.
But then Janice paused, thinking of Beth and realizing how hard this must
all be for Beth. Janice felt a bit sorry for her sister, losing all of this
beauty and everything. There was no doubt that Beth would no longer be able
to get cute boys to do whatever she wanted...
"I don't know what made us change," Janice told herself defensively, "It's
not my fault..." Then she grinned, "Besides, it's my turn to have fun
now..."
With that, Janice continued on her way, even quickening her step a bit.
Then she paused, seeing that hottie Scottie sitting in his driveway and
working on his motorcycle. Janice immediately stopped and smiled. Scott
was 19 years old, and the hottest guy that she'd ever seen. He was tall and
muscular....
"What a dream," Janice purred to herself.
She knew that there was absolutely no way that Scott would have ever
noticed the old her, but the new her was something else entirely. And with
a smile, Janice walked straight up to him.
"Hi Scott," Janice greeted him with a sexy grin. She never would have had
the courage to do something like that before, but it felt perfectly natural
for her to do so now. "Nice bike..." It wasn't his bike that she was
looking at though.
"Um, thanks," Scott grinned back at her as he sat up, giving Janice a slow
scan and liking what he saw. "You look sort of familiar. Do I know you?"
"Yes and no," Janice giggled. He'd met the old her, but certainly hadn't
met the new her before. Scott had certainly known Beth before too, though
Janice was sure that he would no longer have any interest for the girl that
she had become.
With that, Scott moved closer and the two of them just stood there admiring
each other's attractive bodies. Janice could feel herself getting excited,
exciting in a way that she had never quite felt before. Of course, the old
her wasn't quite able to bring about this kind of excitement in others.
Just then, Janice noticed something out of the corner of her eye... a blue
glow. But when she turned for a better look, there was nothing there.
Janice shrugged then turned her attention back to Scott, but paused as she
did so. She slowly looked him over, frowning a bit as she did so. All that
thrill and excitement that she got from looking at him was gone. In fact,
she couldn't even figure out what it was about him that she'd liked. He was
so... boring.
Then for some reason, Janice's thoughts shifted to Cindy from school...
Now that girl was interesting, and Janice couldn't help smiling at the
thought. She'd love to get her hands... or tongue on Cindy, or maybe Laurie.
"Ugh," Janice shuddered as she took a step away from Scott, wondering what
she was doing wasting her time with him. Boys were just so boring. What
she really wanted was to find a couple of cute girls...
At the same time, Scott frowned as he looked over Janice, no longer finding
her quite as appealing either. In fact, he rather wished that this girl
would go away so that he could go see his buddy Ralph... Scott smiled
appreciatively at the thought of Ralph's big muscles...
"I've got to go," Janice told Scott as she turned away.
"Me too," Scott frowned, deciding that he should go over and see Ralph.
With that, Janice hurried away, frowning slightly as she wondered what she
had been doing with Scott at all. He was just so... uninteresting. She'd
much rather be using that time to go and find some cute girls...
Part 9
Martin scowled as he looked around, his eyes scanning the sky and rooftops.
However, he didn't see a thing.
"Where is it?" Martin muttered to himself.
That blue glow that responsible for all the strangeness... He'd lost it
again... but that was not surprising. He'd only been able to see it from the
corner of his eyes, to catch glimpses and glances of yet. But
unfortunately, every time that he tried to look straight at the glowing blue
ball... it wasn't there.
"Only glimpses," Martin mused, slowly turning around until he caught the
fainting bit of blue from the corner of his eye. It was only for a moment
before it was gone, but that was enough. And with a triumphant, "Gotcha,"
he turned and hurried in that direction.
Martin had only gone a few more houses before he saw something that made
him stop. It wasn't the glowing blue ball, but three people standing out in
front of their house arguing.
Though Martin didn't really know any of those three people, he definitely
recognized them from around the neighborhood. There was Marci Turner, the
30 something year old woman who was known as something of a bitch. She was
always yelling and in a bad mood.
At the moment, Mrs. Turner was yelling at her 5 year old neighbor Anita.
From what Martin could overhear, it seemed as though Anita had been caught
running through Ms. Turner's flowerbed.
Then there was the third person, a very pretty 19 year old girl whom Martin
didn't know. He had seen her around over the last couple weeks and knew
that she was staying with Anita's family, but he wasn't sure if she was
Anita's aunt, half sister or something else.
"You little BRAT," Mrs. Turner howled out at the terrified 5 year old.
"What where you doing in this bitch's yard?" the unknown girl demanded of
Anita as well, looking almost as angry as Mrs. Turner. "You were told not
to go there..."
"What did you call me?" Mrs. Turner demanded, glaring at the other girl.
Martin took a deep breath, not wanting to get in the middle of that but
feeling a bit sorry for Anita. And of course, he could always ask them
about the glowing blue ball...
"Excuse me," Martin exclaimed as he hurried closer, "Have you guys seen a
glowing blue ball..."
He grimaced a bit as he looked up, once again reminded of just how short he
had become now that he was inside the body of his 8 year old sister Tina.
Martin really hoped that he could get back to normal...
"Go away little girl," Mrs. Turner snorted, barely sparing Martin a glance,
"You're interrupting me..."
"Get lost kid," the 19 year old added, glaring intently at Mrs. Turner.
Martin glanced over at Anita, who was giving him a grateful look. Martin
might not have been doing much, but it looked like she appreciated his
attempt.
Just then, Martin felt a tingling sensation rush through his body. It felt
a little similar to what he'd felt when he and Tina had traded bodies a
little earlier, but quite different as well.
Suddenly, the tingling sensation grew even stronger, causing Martin to
gasp. It took him a moment more to realize that he could feel his body
changing... And his clothes...they were getting tighter.
"What the fuck?" the 19 year old demanded in surprise.
Martin quickly looked to her, his eyes going wide as he noticed that her
clothes were getting a little loose on her. However, she wasn't the only
one. Mrs. Turner's clothes were getting looser on her as well.
"I feel funny," Anita exclaimed. And it was no wonder. Martin gasped as
he saw that she looked more like a 7 year old girl than a 5 year old.
Then Martin looked down at himself, realizing that he had grown as well.
He wasn't sure how much though, but the ground definitely looked further
away than it had just a few minutes earlier. He even let out a faint sigh
of relief at that, though it was quickly overshadowed by the worry he felt
for what was happening to him.
"Hey," Martin gulped, "My clothes..."
It was then that Martin noticed that his clothes, which had been so tight
that they were near the point of bursting, had suddenly gotten looser on
him. His clothes were growing along with his body. And a quick glance
revealed that so were Anita's, just like Mrs. Turner and the 19 year old
girl's clothes were shrinking.
For a moment, Martin just stared at the two older women, realizing that
they weren't exactly shrinking... They were getting younger. The strange
girl looked to be about 13 or 14 years old, while Mrs. Turner looked to be
in her early twenties...and both were still getting younger.
But even though Martin was completely in awe by the changes occurring in
the three people around him, that was nothing compared to the amazement he
felt when he looked down at himself again. He was growing older too... just
like Anita.
"Oh my..." Martin gulped, grabbing his chest which had just begun swelling
outwards. There was no doubt in his mind that he was growing breasts. It
was too obvious. And as he was growing them, the former 19 year old was
losing hers.
There was a brief moment when Martin and the former 19 year old were the
same height and the same age, but that passed as she grew younger and
smaller while he grew bigger and older. There was also no doubt that he and
Mrs. Turner would soon pass in ages the same way.
"I'm getting BIG," Anita laughed in delight.
At the same time, the two youthening women cried out in fear and confusion.
"I'm shrinking..." Mrs. Turner blurted out.
"You're a teenager," the former 19 year old gasped as she stared at Mrs.
Turner, and at Anita. It wasn't clear which of the two she was talking
about, "I'm turning into a little kid..."
Then Martin looked over at Anita again and blinked in surprise. She was
the same height as him... and she looked to be about 15... then 16.
Martin could feel himself changing for only a moment more before he felt
them stop. He could feel himself staying as he was. But to his surprise,
Anita was still growing older... She passed her teens and went into her
twenties, and still she aged.
"What the..." Martin gulped.
"I'm a little kid," the former 19 year old cried out as she clutched at her
much smaller body. She looked to be just a little girl of about 8 years
old.
Martin returned his attention to Anita, who was now an adult woman who was
entering her thirties. She aged for a few more years and then seemed to
stop, just as Martin had a few moments earlier. He stared at her for a
moment, and then at the 5 year old girl that Mrs. Turner had become...
"Oh my," Martin whispered in realization, trying to ignore the crying that
came from the 5 year old girl. However, after she let out a scream, she
went running for her house. "This can't be..."
However, as Martin looked at the thirty something Anita, the 8 year old
girl and down at himself, he knew what had happened. It was almost obvious.
Anita and Mrs. Turner had traded ages... Then it also looked like he and
the other girl had traded ages as well. That would make him about 19.
"I'm even older than normal," Martin breathed aloud. He stared down at his
body, no longer the body of a girl, but that of a woman. He even had the
curves to prove it.
"I can't believe how big I am," Anita exclaimed, "And how small you are..."
She was looking at the former 19 year old, giggling as she did so.
Martin cringed at that reaction, reminded a little too much of how Tina had
acted right after they had traded bodies. He felt extremely sorry for the
girl whose age he now possessed, and even for that bitch Mrs. Turner.
"It traded our ages," Martin muttered, nervously stepping away from the
remaining two. They barely even seemed to notice him doing so. And
thinking of how he and Tina had traded bodies, and how his parents were
acting like each other, Martin gulped, "It's like something is making people
trade places somehow..."
Martin paused to look down at himself again, taking a deep breath as he
took in the changes. He wasn't a little girl anymore, but he wasn't sure
that these changes were really too much of an improvement. Instead of being
a 14 year old boy or an 8 year old girl, he was now a 19 year old girl... a
woman. He didn't know what to think of that.
Then tearing his mind back to the task at hand, to the goal which he had
set himself earlier. Martin went to continue his search for whatever was
making people exchange roles... And he was going to find it. Even if it
changed him again, that role exchanger wasn't going to escape him...
Part 10
Heather was a 24 year old housewife and quite attractive, though sometimes
it was difficult to tell just how much so as she always dressed in
conservative clothes which seemed to hide rather than flatter her body.
Even her brunette hair was pulled back into a conservative ponytail.
At the moment though, Heather was standing just outside of her front door,
nervously looking around. Something strange was going on... She had no
idea what it was, but there was no doubt that it was something bad.
Just a short while ago, one of Heather's friends from down the street had
called her, blabbering something about her daughter who was only ten having
suddenly grown a pair of breasts while she had just as suddenly become flat
chested. She had been so hysterical that Heather could barely make out any
of what she'd said before hanging up.
"I don't like this," Heather whispered, feeling something in the air and
wondering if maybe it might be the devil playing one of his tricks. She
gave a little prayer, then carefully went out to check her mail.
Before Heather had even gotten halfway to where her mailbox was on the
street, she saw the two neighbor boys and let out a faint gasp. The two
brothers were different...
Chuckie had always been a bit overweight, earning him the nickname Chunkie
among some of the crueler kids, while his brother Timmy had always been the
thinner of the two. But to Heather's surprise, Chuckie looked... skinny,
while Timmy had suddenly gained a lot of weight. Timmy caught Heather
looking at him and blushed horribly before running off.
"Oh my," she whispered, suddenly feeling even more nervous than before.
Just then, Heather noticed that the woman who lived in the house on the
other side of her was coming over to their cluster of mail boxes as well.
She frowned, not liking or trusting that woman. Not only did that woman
dress like some kind of slut, but there was something else about her...
At the same time, the tall and beautiful Tara was walking from her own
house towards the mailboxes. She was a woman who was quite passionate,
though it was a hard passion which suited her profession and fetish for
being a dominatrix.
Sometimes, like at the moment, Tara wondered why she had ever bothered
buying a house in the suburbs. Of course, it was quiet for the most part
and it gave her a sense of privacy. However, it also meant that she had to
deal with all those neighbors. Neighbors like that tight assed little
goody-two-shoes who was standing at the mail boxes.
"The little bitch probably doesn't do anything besides the missionary
position," Tara muttered in distain, then quite accurately added, "In fact
she looks like the type who probably didn't have sex until she was
married..."
Tara snorted at that, and at the concept of marriage. Who needed a man as
a husband when it was much more satisfactory to have him as a slave. In
fact, that little bitch's husband might make for a fine pet... with a little
breaking in.
Just then, Tara felt a strange tingling rush through her. She grimaced
under the faint confusion that filled her thoughts for just a moment. But
as she turned and looked around, she KNEW that something had changed.
"Darn," Tara whispered, suddenly feeling quite nervous. It was a feeling
that she was not used to. And she couldn't even tell why she was feeling
that way, only that there was something wrong.
Then Tara did something else that she was not prone to do and had not done
since she was a small child. She gave a small prayer under her breath.
But then Tara looked down at herself and her eyes went wide in shock. Her
clothes... She'd never realized just how... raunchy they were until then.
Who in their right mind would wear something like fishnet stockings or a
short skirt. It was so... embarrassing.
"How could I wear something like this in public?" Tara gulped, blushing
bright red.
Tara took one more quick look around, and forgetting both her plan to check
her mail and whatever it was that had been making her feel nervous, she
turned and rushed back into her house, eager to get out of those clothes and
into something that was more proper.
Heather stood up straight, suddenly no longer afraid in the least. She
took a deep breath, feeling... confident. More confident than she had ever
felt before in her life. She had no idea why she had been so nervous and
afraid just a few minutes before, when it was obvious that there was
absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
But then Heather saw her neighbor suddenly turn around and rush back into
her house. She snorted in distain at that, wondering what kind of wimp
would do something like that.
"Fucking pathetic," Heather muttered under her breath, "Just like everyone
else in this place..." And, she added silently, just like her husband.
For a moment, Heather just thought about her husband and sneered, almost
feeling sick at herself when she thought about all that she'd done for him.
She'd cooked for him. She'd cleaned for him.
Then Heather realized, she was sick and tired of being a nice and proper
housewife. She was tired of always being the 'good girl'. In fact, the
very words 'housewife' and 'good girl' made her grimace in disgust.
"That fucking little worm," Heather grimaced as she continued to think of
her husband.
There was absolutely no doubt in Heather's mind that it was time to do
something about him... She was going to have to make a few changes in their
relationship. And she was going to teach that little pansy that called
himself her husband who it was that really wore the pants in the family.
"Maybe some skirts or lace panties for him," Heather chuckled slightly,
beginning to get a bit turned on by the very thought of forcing her husband
to wear that stuff. In fact, the more she thought about just how much she could
control her husband, the more turned on she became.
Then Heather turned, and with a cruel smile, began to walk back to her
front door. She had a lot to do in order to get ready for her husband...
And as she glanced down at herself, she knew that this included getting
herself some decent clothes. The dress that she was wearing belonged in the
trash can... and the rest of her wardrobe wasn't any better.
"It's time for some changes," Heather smirked in eager anticipation, "And I
can't wait..."
Part 11
Martin was hurrying down the street in the direction that he had last seen
the glowing blue ball heading, and where he had heard a scream from just
moments before. He'd heard more than a couple of those since that morning,
and suspected that he would be hearing more before the day was over.
Then Martin saw a beautiful blonde girl coming towards him and was about to
call out to Beth, until he reminded himself that this wasn't Beth...this was
Janice. It was still hard for him to believe that those two sisters had
traded roles, but no harder to believe than the fact that he had traded
bodies with his own little sister and then traded ages with someone else.
"Oh, hi there," Janice purred to Martin as she gave him a speculative look
that took him by surprise. Martin had never had a girl stare at him like
that, and certainly not one as pretty as Janice now was. It was even more
surprising, and confusing because he currently looked like a 19 year old
GIRL.
"Um, hi Janice," Martin smiled back at her, his heart racing a bit at both
her beauty and her expression.
Janice blinked, looking a little confused. "Are you new here?"
"Um no," Martin grimaced in embarrassment, then blushing brightly as he
looked down at his new breasts. "It's me... Martin, the boy down the
street..." He took a deep breath as he looked back at Janice, "Something
changed me into this..."
"Wow," she giggled, "Something changed me too..."
"I know," Martin nodded, noticing that Janice definitely seemed a bit
more... ditzy than normal.
"Wow," Janice giggled again, almost licking her lips as she looked Martin
over, her eyes pausing on his breasts for several seconds, "You sure are
pretty now..."
And with that, she put her hand on his arm and pressed up closer to him.
Martin gulped in excitement at her close presence. In fact, he thought that
if he still has his boy parts, then he was sure that he would have creamed
his pants already. As it was, he was feeling sort of warm and gooey down
there instead.
"Thanks," Martin gulped, not sure what else to say. "I think... I don't
really know what I look like right now..." He looked down in further
embarrassment, "I just changed into this..."
"Really?" Janice gasped, "Come on then... You've got to see yourself
girl..." And with that, she started pulling him in the direction of her
house.
For a brief moment, Martin glanced in the direction that he had been
heading in, but the temptation to go with Janice was too strong and he
quickly started to follow her.
While Martin followed Janice to her house across the street, he couldn't
help noticing the way she was staring at him. It was exciting, but also a
little embarrassing. As far as he knew, Janice had always liked guys, but
it had been hard to tell since she never dated either. But this... This
new Janice was definitely interested in girls, or at the very least
interested in him.
"Um... do you..." Martin started, then paused in embarrassment, not sure
how to say it. Finally, he just blurted out, "Do you like guys?"
Janice paused for a moment, then stared at Martin with a look of thoughtful
confusion. "I know that I did... But now..." She shook her head, "I don't
know why, but now I like girls a lot more..." Then Janice smiled at Martin,
"Like you..."
"But I'm not a real girl," Martin pointed out, "I'm a boy... And I'm two
years younger than you..."
"Well you don't look like a boy to me," Janice pouted a little, "And you
don't look like you're younger than me either..." Then she quickly grinned,
and started tugging on Martin's arm again, "Come on... I'll show you..."
Just a minute later, Janice had led Martin into her house, though it
didn't take much encouragement to get him there. Not only was he being led
by hormones, but by his growing curiosity as well. Even though he was
embarrassed by what had happened to him, he was dying to see what he actually
looked like.
Janice finally pushed Martin right into her bathroom and grinned,
"Here... take a look at that."
Martin gasped as he saw his reflection in the mirror. It was Tina's
face... but it wasn't. It was an older Tina... and one who had grown up to be
very pretty. The Tina in the mirror had long dark brown hair, dark eyes and
full puffy lips. If it hadn't been the face of Martin's own sister... his
own face at the moment, he would definitely have wanted to kiss her.
"You're gorgeous," Janice purred into Martin's ear.
"I am," Martin whispered, feeling a bit stunned by that realization. He
didn't know what to think of it.
"And you've got a great body too," Janice added with a grin, staring
straight at Martin's breasts. "They're a little smaller than mine... but
they're really nice..."
Martin just stood there with his heart pounding, not having any idea of
what to do next. But Janice solved that problem by throwing her arms around
him and surprising him with a kiss on the lips.
Part 12
For a long minute, Martin remained where he was when the former nerd girl,
now neighborhood beauty and lesbian Janice had surprised him with a kiss.
Though Martin had never kissed a girl before, instinct quickly took over and
began kissing her back.
Martin couldn't believe his luck... being kissed by such a gorgeous. Nor
could he believe how he felt... He could taste her on his lips... so
sweet... And his body... Every fiber of his body seemed to be responding
to the kiss... and her own body pressed up against his. His chest felt stiff
and tingly, as well as very good, while the area between his legs felt like
nothing he'd ever imagined, though that definitely felt extremely nice as
well.
"I feel like I'm on fire," Martin whispered after they broke apart.
Janice just licked her lips and gave Martin a VERY suggestive look, then
pulled him towards her bedroom. Once they were inside, she grabbed hold of
him, putting her hands on his breasts, "I've never done this with a girl
before..."
"Me either," Martin gasped in response, his hormones going crazy. He'd
never done it with anyone, though neither had Janice.
Martin was both extremely nervous and excited as he reached back for
Janice's body, hesitating only a moment before she encouraged him to go
further. And within moments, they were both kissing again and running their
hands over each other's bodies.
They continued for several minutes, with both getting more and more
excited. Each of them had managed to slip their hands down the fronts of
each other's shirts for a better look, and Martin could feel Janice's hand
going down the front of his pants.
At the moment, all thoughts of Role Exchanger had slipped out of Martin's
mind, replaced by a single thought and desire. And as Janice massaged his
breasts, for that instant he was quite grateful for the body that he now
possessed.
But just then, there was a noise as the bedroom door began to open up.
Martin and Janice both jumped to their feet, trying to untangle themselves
from each other. And a moment later, Beth stepped into the room, staring at
them with a surprised look on her face.
"What..." Beth gasped, adjusting the glasses which she'd only started
wearing that morning but now seemed almost normal.
"Um... hi," Janice giggled, obviously embarrassed.
"What's going on?" Beth squeaked out, turning bright red herself. That was
quite unlike the confident and outgoing Beth that Martin was used to, and
much more like the shy... or formerly shy Janice had been.
"We were just playing around," Janice rolled her eyes, trying to cover up
the embarrassment of being caught like that.
Then Beth stared at Martin and let out another gasp of surprise... and of
recognition. "Those clothes... I recognize you..."
"Yeah," Martin grimaced, "That thing that changed you two and made me
switch with Tina did it again..." He blushed a bright red, then glanced at
Janice, "But I'm not the only one it changed again..."
Beth stared at her sister in surprise, obviously trying to see what changes
had occurred to Janice this time, though they were not visible ones. Still,
from her actions with Martin, Beth was beginning to get an idea.
Then Martin stammered, "I've got to go..." He glanced out the window,
hoping for a glimpse of the glowing blue ball that he'd temporarily
forgotten about. He gulped, "I've got to find that role exchanger
thingee..."
And with that, Martin rushed out the door, still bright red. He wasn't
sure whether to be angry that Beth had come in and messed up what was
happening with Beth, or thankful that she'd interrupted and reminded him of
his goal to find that blue glow.
A moment later, Janice gave an embarrassed and even somewhat guilty look
towards Beth before calling out, "Hey, wait for me...
Part 13
Karen frowned slightly as she critically examined her younger sister... half
sister Chloe who had just come over for a visit.
At 29 years old, Karen was already successful in her career, due in no
small part to her ambition and determination. She was also known at work as
something of an ice queen... Work came first. Even when she was at home
she often wore her business clothes, though she was currently and somewhat
rarely dressed in a more casual manner.
Chloe on the other hand was almost the complete opposite of Karen. She was
17 and still in high school, though Karen thought it a miracle that she
hadn't dropped out yet. And where Karen was always conservative, Chloe had
gone Goth or punk...though Karen couldn't quite tell which. Her clothes
were mostly black, with a black leather jacket that had a few metal studs on
it. There was a streak of purple in her hair, and that didn't even touch
the tattoos that she had or that her face nearly looked like a pin-cushion
due to all of the piercings.
"Well?" Chloe demanded, "Are you going to lend me the fucking money or
not?"
Karen rolled her eyes slightly at Chloe's foul language, though well used
to hearing such from Chloe's mouth. She couldn't help but wonder what had
ever happened to that cute and innocent little girl she used to be. But of
course, Karen had always thought that Chloe was a brat, right since the day
that she had been born.
"Do you have to speak like that?" Karen sighed, "You know that you aren't
going to get anywhere in life if you keep dressing and talking like you
do..."
"What's wrong with the way I fucking talk?" Chloe demanded, just to push
Karen's buttons. "And at least I'm an individual... not some fucking
corporate sellout..."
"Well this corporate sellout has decided against lending you any money,"
Karen responded coldly. "After all, I know that I would never see it
again..."
Just then, both Karen and Chloe caught a glimpse of something blue from the
corner of their eyes. But when they turned to look, there was nothing
there.
"What the fuck was that?" Karen demanded. "That nearly scared the shit out
of me."
"How should I know?" Chloe shrugged in annoyance.
Karen scowled, then paused as she realized that something wasn't quite
right... She looked back at Chloe and was startled to realize that her
sister no longer had the purple steak in her hair, though she didn't notice
that a matching purple streak had now appeared in her own hair.
"Where did you get that?" Chloe gasped, "Your hair... That tattoo..."
"What the fuck are you talking about now?" Karen demanded, then looked down
at her own arm and gasp
