"Landlord-San, you've got to help me! Please!"
"Now now, leave the dear alone~ He's only trying to do his job."
"Yeah, what exactly ARE you yapping about anyhow?"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you! It all started when my mother and I were at the supermarket yesterday..."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Hey mom, check this out! 'Swap...Soda'? Never heard of that before."
"You really shouldn't be drinking that sort of thing if you want to stay healthy..."
"Hold on, just let me read the labels... 'A two-person drink experience from the Shidare brand! Share it with both friends and family alike! Just pour the liquid from your bottle into theirs and before long you'll feel like a new person!' See mom? Doesn't THAT sound appealing?"
"Hmm, fine. I guess we can pick up a couple bottles, but just this once!"
"Yay! You won't regret it one bit!"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
" 'Caution: do not drink until one hour before you go to bed' Huh, curious how THAT got past OSHA compliance..."
"Oh, you know how those big businesses are. I'm sure they just up and bribed the legal team with wads of cash..."
"Way to be optimistic mom...anyways, let's give it a shot! Cheers!"
*GULP!* *GULP!*
"Ah, that tasted good! *yawn* I'm feeling pretty sleepy though, guess the instructions weren't lying..."
" *yawn* Indeed, see you tomorrow mom."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Ugghh...I'm feeling super heavy, did that 'Swap Soda' have alcohol in it or something?"
"Mmph, somehow I'm awfully chipper despite it being so early in the morning..."
"Wait, WHAT?!?" "Oh...OH MY!"
"HYAAAAAHHHH!!!"
"MOOOOM!! What the FUCK happened?!? Why do I have your body?"
"A better question is why I have yours..."
"Huh? N-No way...when we drank that 'Swap Soda'...did it put our heads on each other's bodies?"
"I guess so~ I don't mind your young and light form though, you can keep my mature and alluring body for a bit if you'd like."
"Why? You can't expect me to go outside, constantly bouncing and jiggling in public just from walking!"
"If I can live like that for 40 years, then surely YOU can 'be in my shoes' as it were for a few days..."
"Nononono...! THIS CAN'T BE REAL!!!"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"And that's how things got this way..."
"Gotcha. (That was a long-ass story...I was about ready to fall asleep!) You don't LOOK any different to me though, haven't you two always been this way?"
"...w-what?"
"You heard the man~ He's saying that I've made myself so pretty like this for as long as he can remember."
"Y-Y-You're joking, right?"
"Sadly, not really. What you're telling me sounds like a load of baloney if I'm being real. Now let me get back to work..."
"C-C-Come back! I need SOMEBODY I can confide in right now!"
"Sorry to say, but something tells me our Landlord-San's not the only person who's been affected. When it said 'Swap Soda', it wasn't lying~"
"Mom...don't leave me like this...l-let's go back to the supermarket and get another pair! That'll fix this mess!"
"You DO recall what I said yesterday, correct? Just. This. Once. Better get used to wearing my wardrobe for the foreseeable future~"
"B-But what about school? All of my classmates and teachers surely will wonder where I am..."
"That's the neat thing, THEY WON'T. I'll be on my way to learn and play now, mom."
"(God DAMMIT! Am I going to be stuck looking like this forever?)"
"(I'd be okay with looking like this forever~)"
