Raquel Brooks pulled her long straight brown hair up into a high ponytail as she walked up the steps at 7:30 in the morning. She had her key out but before she could even put it in the door, it swung open and she heard and saw the chaos that was her day already unfolding.

“Hey Quel” 9 year old Danielle yelled as she swung backwards on the door.

“Good Morning Dani. I hear your brother…where is he?” she said as she stepped inside.

“He’s playing somewhere…running around in just his underwear” Dani replied.

“Awesome” Raquel said as she stepped out of her flip flops and shook her head.

Raquel was 16 and was spending the summer watching Danielle and her 3 year old brother Samuel. She was there every day from 7:30 until whenever. It wasn’t easy, but it was better than fast food or anything else she could have gotten for a summer job while still in High School. She was getting $400 a week plus she got to hang out in a house instead of a hot kitchen.

“Good morning Raquel...be forewarned’ he’s extra rowdy this morning” Tracy Collins said as she walked down the hall.

Raquel smiled at her down the street neighbor and boss for the summer. Tracy was 41 and an attorney who specialized in divorce.  

She stopped at the mirror next to the front door to check her hair and makeup. Her blonde shoulder length hair was pulled into an up and didn’t have a single hair out of place and her makeup was impeccable as always. She was quite imposing in her heels and power suit since she was already 5’11” without the heels.

Raquel, at 5’2” felt like she was looking a mile up to her. “Court day today?” she asked.
“Yes…can you tell?” Tracy asked, squaring her shoulders.

“Yeah…pretty obvious, but you look great” Raquel countered.

“Thanks dear…take good care of my babies; hopefully, I’ll be home by 4” Tracy said as she headed out the door.

“Sounds good” Raquel called out after her as he closed the door. “Now where is Sam?” she said heading up the stairs.

“Try to catch me Raquel!” Sam squealed as he shot past her and down the stairs.

“Oh…I’m going to get you” she said as she ran after him, making him laugh even harder.

Sam shot down the stairs, rounded the corner and headed full steam for the kitchen and the back door.

“Don’t you dare go outside yet!” Raquel yelled more serious tone.

Raquel pivoted on her bare foot at the bottom of the staircase and sprinted down the hall as she heard the back door open and close. “Get back in here!” she yelled, still hearing nothing but laughter as she continued to track down the running child. She opened the back door and saw him running across the yard toward the pool.

The Collins house had its own in ground pool and it had made Raquel nervous all summer long that one of the kids would fall in when she wasn’t watching. They weren’t allowed to be near it without her around.

“You get away from the pool Sam: You are in so much trouble; you know the rules about being over there” Raquel yelled at him.

Sam stopped at the fence gate and didn’t go in. He waited for Raquel right there.

Raquel came up to him and bent down “Sam; I’ve told you it’s dangerous to go to the pool by yourself. Besides it’s not even 8 o’clock yet and you’re outside running around in just your undies…what are you doing today dude” she finished with a smile.

“I’m sorry” he said sheepishly.

“It’s okay…let’s go back to the house…oh…what’s that” Raquel said as she looked at the pool. A branch was floating on the top. “Must have blown down in the night” she said.

She opened the gate and went over to get the skimmer to try and grab the branch. Sam followed her in but stayed back.

“Just…out…of…my…reach” she said as she flicked the skimmer out to try and catch hold of the branch. She almost had it, when she gave one last reach “There…WHOA”

<SPLASH>

“Oh MY Gosh” Raquel yelled as she popped back up out of the water. She had lost her balance and fell into the pool. The branch was forgotten as she climbed out, soaking wet from head to toe. She stood poolside, her mouth open in shock at having fallen in as well as it still being cold water that early in the day.

“AH” She said loudly “I’m freezing cold and soaking wet!” She stood ramrod straight in both her arms and legs. She finally got moving and did a little dance up and down before she said “Come on Sam; back to the house”

Sam took off running as did Raquel who ran more on her tip toes all the way back.

“Raquel! I saw what happened are you okay?” Dani yelled as they got closer.

“Yeah, just freezing and wet…can you go get me a towel please?” she asked and Dani took off for the closet.

“Here you go” she was back in a few seconds with two towels.

“Thanks” she said as she began to dry off. “Can you do me a favor Dani?”

“Yeah”

“Take your brother and go get him dressed and watch him for me for a few minutes. I need to dry off and get out of these clothes. I’m going to need to raid your Mom’s dresser”

“Sure, no problem…I’m sure she won’t mind. Come on you little trouble maker” she said to her brother.

Raquel got her legs dry enough that she wouldn’t mark up the floor before she came in wrapped in the towel. She ran upstairs and headed for the master bathroom connected to Tracy’s bedroom. Once inside, she stripped off her clothes and tossed them over the shower curtain. Off came the khaki shorts, blue tank top, size small white panties and white 32B bra.

“Ugh” she said as she continued to dry off naked. She caught a glimpse of her skinny body in the mirror and she thought about Mrs. Collins wardrobe. “I’m going to be swimming in her clothes but it’s better than being wet”

Raquel found a hair towel and tied her long brown hair up inside of it and padded into the bedroom. “Um…” she didn’t know where to begin. She opened up the top drawer and found nothing but bras. Raquel pulled one out and read 38DD on the label inside the black silk bra and laughed “Shit…guess I won’t be wearing one of these”

Still, she put it up to her chest and was simply amazed by how much room there was “Aww…makes mine look so little” she laughed as she put it back and closed the drawer.

In the next drawer she found panties; all size large. “Damn…I knew I wouldn’t fit but…what the heck” she said as she pulled out a pair of basic, white cotton panties. She easily stepped into them and pulled them up. The hung off her hips and drooped off her ass “At least they cover me”

She took a few steps and they didn’t fall right off but they were incredibly loose on her none the less. “I need to find some shorts or something”

Raquel rummaged around before she found a pair of khaki shorts that had a belt looped in them already. “Perfect” she said as she put them on.

“Maybe not perfect…” They hung down to her knees and were super loose on her. She had to swing her legs around just so they touched the fabric. She clenched up the extra fabric to pull them tight against her skinny legs, shaking her head the entire time. She pulled the belt as far as it would go and notched it, at least securing them from falling off.

The shorts waistband was bunched up behind the belt and against her tiny waist. “Now for a shirt”

Raquel found a plain black v neck shirt in extra-large. She easily slipped it on over her head and she had to adjust it upward to not let it hang too low. It came down well past her waist and she marveled at how skinny her arms looked in the sleeves. She had a good two inches of extra room around her arm before she hit the sleeve.

“It’ll have to do” she said. She stopped though and cocked her head as a pair of shoes in the bottom of the closet caught her eye. “Red Stilettos…I had no idea you had it in you Tracy” she giggled to herself.

She pulled them out and sat on the edge of the bed. She put her feet in and of course they were several sizes too big. Raquel stood up in them; her toes shifting to the end, creating a gap in the back. “God…she must be like 6’4” when she puts these on…” Raquel stepped out and glanced at the instep and saw they were a size 10. “Too big for my little size 7’s” she mumbled as she carefully put the heels back into the closet.

Raquel left the bedroom to go find the kids. As she walked down the hallway, she felt just a bit warm but nothing that really caught her attention.  As she walked, her feet grew just a few centimeters, her overall height increased by a quarter inch and she gained 2 pounds.

“You look like a little kid in those clothes” Dani announced as Raquel entered the kitchen.

Raquel smiled wryly “Thanks for noticing” she said. Dani and Sam sat down at the table and Raquel stared to make breakfast. She got out the carton of eggs and the gallon of milk and put them on the counter. She pulled out butter and juice before she went to the cupboard for the loaf of bread.

Another pound came onto her frame as she reached for a bowl and some plates. By the time the eggs and toast were done, Raquel’s feet had grown a half inch bigger, she was up to 5’3” and she had put on five pounds upping her weight to 118.

She sat at the table and adjusted herself in the seat due to her large clothes still not fitting right. She lifted up her shirt to make sure she was covered. They all dug in to eat but it tasted especially good to Raquel; she was starving.

The kids ran off to play while Raquel cleaned up the kitchen. She stood up and thought that the shorts had been cinched too tight. “Guess I didn’t need to very last one” she said as she undid the belt and moved it up a notch. Beneath the shorts, her hips and ass and thighs began to round off ever so slightly as a bit of Tracy’s weight came onto them as well.

Raquel loaded the dishwasher and almost dropped one of the glasses “Heavens to Betsy” she said. She stood up and shook her head “I’ve been hanging around Mrs. Collins too long” Raquel had never uttered that phrase before but it was a go to for Tracy.

Raquel took her hair out of the towel and went back upstairs. She went back into the master bathroom and found one of Tracy’s brushes. She combed and brushed out her hair now that it was somewhat dry. As she turned her back to leave, a single strand turned blonde.
Raquel went back downstairs and lounged on the sofa while the kids ran around; eventually they came in and asked to watch cartoons. With SpongeBob droning on in the background, Raquel fiddled with her phone as her breasts increased in size.

By the time the cartoon was over, she had grown another inch taller and another 5 pounds had come over her frame. She led the kids outside to play for a while.

Tracy Collins sat at the desk inside the courtroom going over her notes. She was about to meet with the opposing attorney and wanted to make sure everything was ready. She leaned back in her chair to get comfortable. She crossed her legs and noticed that her shoe popped off of her heel and dangled off by her toes. She reset her legs and put her feet flat on the floor. “Must have stretched out my shoe a bit” she thought.

The other attorney arrived and she rose to greet him. As Tracy stood up, she felt her skirt shift on her waist; it was a bit loose too but Tracy didn’t have time to worry about that right now as they both took a seat across from each other and began to hash out an agreement.

As she took her seat, a single dark brown hair popped out of the careful up do and fell down across her neck.

Raquel took a seat on a lawn chair as the kids ran off to play outside. She didn’t have to adjust her top this time as she brought her knees up and braced her feet against the bottom rung of the lounge chair. She reached down to scratch an itch on the side of her foot; she rubbed it and thought “My foot feels rough on the bottom; I must be walking out here barefoot on the concrete too much”

She flipped on her sunglasses and relaxed as the kids ran around endlessly. At least an hour passed before she got up. She checked her phone and saw that is was after 11:00. She stretched as she stood, her back felt tight and as she reached up, she now stood at 5’5” and weighed 133 pounds. “These shorts aren’t as big as I thought they were” she said. They felt tight again.

The kids scurried past her and inside the house when Raquel got the first inkling that something wasn’t quite right. She grabbed for the waistband and belt and hit flesh. “What the heck?” she said as she looked down.

She undid the belt and looked at her stomach; it was puffy and not her usual flat stomach. It looked like she had a belly. As she was looking at her stomach, her upper arm caught her attention. When she had put on the shirt originally, her arms looked like sticks poking out, but now, they too looked fuller.

Raquel walked inside and absent mindedly flipped the TV on for the kids and she headed upstairs.

She went into the bedroom and stopped dead in her tracks at the reflection in the mirror. She clamped her mouth shut tight and screamed through clenched lips “MMMMMMMMM!!!!”

Raquel quickly shut the door and then returned to the mirror. “What the hell!?” She looked in the mirror and looked down at herself.  “What’s happening to me?” she said as she ran her fingers over her fuller cheeks. It was then that she noticed the few golden blonde hairs intertwined in her own dark brown. “No…it can’t be!”

Tracy’s negotiations were stretching out longer than she had hoped. The other attorney was not budging at all and had just asked for them to meet again in a few days since there were a few things he wanted to re-evaluate with his client. “Fine” Tracy said, she wasn’t in the mood to argue at that moment.

They both stood up as he went to leave. She reached across to shake his hand and the hem of her jacket slipped down over her wrist. Tracy did a quick shoulder roll to pull it back as she shook his hand and as he departed she thought “I thought I was taller than him”

She gathered up her notes and began to leave. As she walked out, she noticed her shoes slipping on her feet. Her skirt was loose along with her jacket. “What in the world is up with my clothes” she said to herself as she swatted a stray hair away from her face. “I must look like a mess”

Tracy swung into the Ladies restroom before she headed back out to her car. The room was empty as she stopped at the row of sinks and looked into the mirror “No!” she said and slapped her hands down on the porcelain. “Oh Shit! I’ve got to get home!” she said as she immediately exited and headed for her car.

Raquel stood in front of the mirror still staring, not understanding, when her phone went off. “Oh my God” she said as she saw who was calling.

Tracy Collins’ name stood out in green on the display. Raquel picked it up and nervously said “Huh-Hello”

“Oh my God Raquel are you okay?” Tracy blurted out, just happy to hear her voice.

“Uh…”

“It’s okay; I…uh…I see it too. Look I can’t explain what’s happening or what’s going to happen over the phone. Just know that everything will be okay. I’ll be home in a few minutes and we will get this straightened out” Tracy said as calmly as she could. She was shaking as she drove home, trying not to speed too badly.

“You…what” Raquel said trying to understand. “What…will happen. How can you…how …what’s happening to me?”

Tracy took a deep breath and swore at herself inside her thoughts “You’re so stupid…you should have gotten rid of those damn heels…or at least hid them better”

“I’ll explain everything when I get there, just don’t panic or worry. Everything will be okay” she repeated.

“Okay” Raquel mumbled not really believing it. She looked into the mirror and saw what was reflected back and said “I don’t look the same”

“I know…I don’t look the same either”

“But why? I want to know why and what’s happening to me?”

“We…” Tracy paused and sighed “We’re switching bodies Raquel”

“WHAT?!” Raquel yelled into her phone and nearly dropped it.

“Um…let me ask you something?” Tracy said.

“Okay” Raquel said shakily.

“Are you wearing any of my clothes by any chance?"

“Yeah: I slipped earlier and fell into the pool. I got soaked so I put on some of your clothes”

Tracy nodded on her end “And when you were in my room, did you happen to try on a pair of red heels?” she asked already knowing the answer.

“Yes…how did you know?” Raquel said on the verge of tears.

“Because those shoes are magical” Tracy began “They have special powers: Basically if you put those shoes on while you’re wearing another item of clothing from someone, you and that person will switch bodies. When I looked in the mirror a few minutes ago; I saw that I had your big brown eyes and I was swimming in my clothes, so I knew that you might be looking more like me now”

Raquel began to cry.

“But what I’m trying to tell you is that everything can be all right” Tracy tried to reassure her.

“How? I can’t be you” Raquel choked out.

“Yes, you can and you’ll have to be for at least a day. See, don’t you get it. We have to fully swap; but after 24 hours, I can put on a piece of my clothing along with the red shoes while I’m you…and we can switch back” Tracy said to reassure Raquel.

“I don’t know if I can do this Mrs. Collins” Raquel said.

“I’ll be home in a few minutes honey…” Tracy said as she turned off her phone. She had already had to adjust the seat up once; she hoped she wouldn’t have to again at the next stop light.

Raquel was afraid to move. She heard the kids downstairs in front of the TV. She looked down at her hands and realized that they looked bigger, meatier. They were rougher and veins stood out across the backs slightly where there had been none before.

She brought those hands up to her bigger breasts. She hefted them up and felt their increased weight before she looked down and ran her hand over her slight belly. The shorts and panties were fitting better and her thighs looked bigger and rounder. Even her feet looked different. They were not only bigger but she noticed that her toes were shaped differently. They were longer and bigger; Raquel had never really paid that much attention to Tracy’s feet but she had to assume that this was what they looked like.

Raquel went to the window and looked out through the curtains as she waited for Tracy to arrive home. “Am I really turning into her?” She thought. “What else can explain this?” she said out loud as she looked down at her expanding body.

Raquel’s heart leaped up into her throat when she saw the BMW turn into the drive. She heard the side door open and Tracy sneak in so the kids wouldn’t notice her.

Tracy pulled in and took off her shoes at the side door. “Oh” she said as she took in the sight of her feet. They were small and definitely not hers anymore. She lifted her toes up for a brief moment and took in the sight.

Tracy slowly opened the door and crept into her house. She tip toed through the kitchen and climbed the stairs as quietly as possible. As she got to the top, she sighed as she realized that the kids hadn’t heard her.

Tracy braced herself for what she would see when she opened the door. She hadn’t looked in the mirror since the restroom and she really had no idea what Raquel would look like.
Raquel felt her breathing increasing; her nerves were on edge as the door began to open.
As the figure opening it came into focus, she thought she was going to faint or scream.

Tracy saw the fear and surprise on Raquel’s face and she tried her best to calm her down.
She immediately went towards her saying “It’s okay honey…we’re going to be just fine”

Raquel’s eyes widened as Tracy walked into the room. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Mrs. Collins looked like she was being swallowed up by her clothes. Her skirt hung on skinny legs while her blouse and jacket billowed like sails on her. Her hair was darker and longer, her eyes were big and brown, just like her own and as she got closer; Raquel noticed that she was now taller than her.

“Oh My God Mrs. Collins! I don’t…I can’t…” she began to cry.

Tracy embraced her, amazed at much bigger the girl felt to her. The combination of her growing and her own shrinking were crossing each other. Standing in their bare feet, Raquel was about 2 inches taller than Tracy and she might have already weighed more.
Raquel’s face was wider and looked older; lines formed on her forehead and around her eyes. Her chin was beginning to sag ever so slightly. Tracy noticed it because it was something that she was very self-conscious of and now it was on Raquel.

Raquel was shaking taking in the sight of Tracy turning into her. “That’s my body” she said to her.

“I know honey and I’m sorry, but I never thought to tell you to not try on the red shoes while you were wearing some of my clothes…I didn’t think it would come up”

“Why do you have those shoes?” Raquel asked.

“Well, they have other qualities as well” Tracy said.

Raquel stared at the now smaller woman.

“If you wear your own clothes and put on those heels; it can enhance one of your qualities…like make you more intelligent…more outgoing…more daring and fearless…taller” she finished.

“So you’ve used those shoes to get where you are now?” Raquel realized.

Tracy nodded and chewed on her bottom lip, something she had never done, but something that Raquel did when she was nervous.

“I was smart, but I wasn’t lawyer smart. I was outgoing, but I wasn’t demand what I want and get it outgoing. And I wasn’t 5’11” either…but the shoes made me all of those things. I’m successful and confident and happy…but now…”

“But now you’re going to be me” Raquel said as she turned to the closet and spotted the shoes. She walked over and got down on her knees to reach them. She pulled them out and held them in front of her.

“If you put them on now; it will speed up our changes. It goes faster if you’re wearing them” Tracy said.

“Have you ever used these to change bodies with someone before today?” Raquel asked.

“No: But that’s what I was told when I got them”

Raquel looked down at the shoes in her hands; she put them down on the floor and began to wiggle her right foot into the right heel. “Here goes nothing” she said.

As opposed to the first time, when her feet swam in them; now she had to wiggle her toes and push her heel down to get them on “Tight fit…” she felt the heel of the shoe slipping in beneath her heel and she had to put a finger in the back to get her foot in. She could barely wiggle her toes inside the tight heel and she sat down to put on the left one.

With just as much effort, Raquel managed to squeeze her left foot into the other heel. As she stood up, she could feel herself gaining even more height and weight.

Tracy began to drop down even smaller. “I told you it would speed us up” she said as she dropped down to just 5’2” in her tiny bare feet. Weight melted off of her and appeared on Raquel. Her skin smoothed and tightened up with her newfound youth. Her breasts shrank down and she stood up taller without her 38DD’s. She could feel how pert and perky her chest was now.

Flesh built up on Raquel’s growing frame: Her hips and ass expanded out, rounding off and filling up the formerly loose panties and shorts while her thighs grew outward and now came in clear contact with the legs of her khaki shorts. Her claves thickened as they lengthened and her waist and belly came outward.

Her breasts exploded outward in a burst of rapid growth. They had already gotten somewhat bigger before this, but now they grew massive and stretched out the black V-neck shirt. Raquel desperately wished she was wearing one of Tracy’s bras as gravity took its toll and her 41 year old breasts began to sag down.

Tracy’s face tightened up and gained a teenaged visage as middle age crept into Raquel. Tracy’s chin and jaw lifted and tightened along with her cheeks that now took on an apple roundness to them. Her skin glimmered and her eyes cleared as they got even wider and rounder, becoming Raquel’s big brown doe eyes above a very small and pert nose with a slight upturn at the end.  Her lips puffed and smoothed out as her forehead lifted and as a side effect of becoming a teen again; a few pimples broke out across it.

Her teeth shifted and she bared her strong pearly whites and she chomped down as her hair turned a dark brown and grew out long and straight.

Raquel felt the backs of her arms come in contact with her shirt sleeves as her arms plumped up as well. Her hair was pulling up and becoming blonde, changing into Tracy’s hair and style. Her face plumped as well as gained Tracy’s age lines but at least she was acne free. Her lips thinned and her teeth shifted and got larger inside her mouth. She knew her smile was at once ingratiating and a little bit intimidating, but it was bright white and straight. Her eyes narrowed and became bright blue as her nose grew longer and wider to fit her face better.

She felt her cheeks drop and her skin become looser and rougher and as she blinked hard a few times, she realized that it was over; they had exchanged bodies totally.

“I’m a kid again” Tracy said in Raquel’s clear voice.

“I’m old” Raquel said in response.

“41 is not old young lady” Tracy responded.

“Look who’s talking”

Tracy dropped her arms and her suit jacket slid down and covered most of her hands. With a shrug of her shoulders, it dropped off and hit the ground behind her. She had to keep flipping her wrists to keep her hands free enough to unbutton her white blouse and as she dropped that into the pile, she wiggled her hips and with just her thumbs, pushed her skirt to the ground.

“Oh…”she said at seeing how big her bra was strapped to her small chest and how droopy her panties were “Excuse me” she said as she headed for the bathroom and Raquel’s clothes hanging on the shower rod.

She had to reach up and jump just slightly to grab the bottom of the shorts and everything came down. “Dry…” she said as she dropped her large panties and picked up the smalls. “I don’t remember the last time I wore a small…” she said as she stepped into them.

“Ooo” she cooed as she laced on the 32B bra doing a little dance and shoulder up and down movement.

She worked the small shorts and t-shirt onto her skinny frame and stepped back out into the bedroom. Tracy spread her arms out and said “How do I look?”

Raquel had watched Tracy head into the bathroom before she turned to the mirror to assess herself. She took down her shorts to mid-thigh and adjusted her panties that now fit her perfectly. She gave her more ample ass checks a quick swat and felt them jiggle before she pulled the shorts back up. She took off her top and pinched the middle age spread that had hit her stomach. “Definite flab” she thought to herself. “I can’t believe I’ve got a tummy now”

She took in her massive breasts. They sagged down a bit but they were still glorious to her eyes. She heaved them up and pinched her nipples, sending a river of emotion through her body. Raquel took out one of the bras that had been twice her size this morning and easily hoisted her breasts into them. She had never had a need to do an extra adjustment to set her boobs before, but she needed to now before she put the shirt back on and noted its tight fit.

She fluffed out her now blonde hair and took in her older face; attractive and dominant with piercing blue eyes and a wider nose, she had big straight white teeth and a strong chin. “Tracy should get into politics” she said quietly as she looked in the mirror. That was when she heard her old voice coming from behind her saying “How do I look?”

Raquel turned and saw the small girl before her and for a split second forgot that she was actually looking at her real body.  “Small, weak and helpless” ran through her mind instinctively and she realized the power and confidence that came with Tracy’s body.
Instead she smiled and said “You look like a cute little teenager”

“I see you’ve taken off the shoes” Tracy said observing Raquel’s big bare feet.

“Oh…yeah” Raquel looked down and curled her toes in the deep plush carpeting on the bedroom floor. She had kicked off the heels and they lay a few feet away from both of them. “So we wait out 24 hours and then we can swap back?”

“Yeah…any time after 24 hours” Tracy said.

Raquel cocked her head slowly to the side and their eyes met. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” she said.

“I hope so” Tracy replied. “I hope you’re thinking that maybe you want to spend a little bit longer than a day in my old body because I’m thinking that we might have a little bit of fun”

Raquel smiled and nodded. This body was growing on her quickly. She was curious to see what it was like to be Tracy; to be an adult for a while.

Tracy smiled “Good…I think it might be fun to be 16 again; at least for a while”

“I want to see what it’s like to be an adult…on my own…you…for a little bit” Raquel answered quickly.

The two of them headed downstairs to be greeted by the kids. The two of them swarmed Raquel yelling “Mommy! What are you doing home early?”

Raquel smiled and said “Oh I just missed my babies today and decided to take the rest of the day off to be with you two” She hugged them and winked at Tracy.

Tracy smiled slyly and said “I know you two are in good hands if I go ahead and go” as she stepped into Raquel’s flip flops next to the front door.

Raquel smiled and said “You know it Raquel…we’ll see you Monday okay?”

Tracy smiled and felt her stomach flip up inside her in excitement “Sounds great Mrs. Collins” She opened the front door to at least three and a half days in Raquel’s body and said “Have fun”

Raquel smiled in return and said “We will…go have some fun yourself”

Tracy closed the door behind her and danced down the sidewalk practically running to what would be her house for the next few days.

As she went down the street and closer to the house, she saw Janice Brooks out working in the yard. Tracy knew Janice from around the neighborhood but now she would have to call her Mom. Tracy was quickly coming to realize that she was going to enjoy being a kid again. It would be fun to be 16 and have so many fewer responsibilities. Even the role playing aspect of calling a woman who was her own age ‘Mom’ for a few days set her stomach fluttering.

“Hey Mom” Tracy called out with a big smile.

“Hey Honey” Janice called out causing Tracy’s to smile wider “What are you doing out so early?”

“Mrs. Collins came home early and she gave me tomorrow off too” Tracy said.

“That’s great Quel…so does that mean you’re going to clean out the attic like I asked you to at the beginning of the summer?” Janice asked her daughter.

Tracy chuckled slightly and smiled “Anything for you Mom” she said relishing her chores in an odd way.

Janice raised an eyebrow at her daughter’s sudden willingness to do a chore but said nothing. “Do you want to help me out cleaning out this flower bed?”

“Okay” Tracy said with a shrug. She got down on her knees and grabbed a pair of work gloves and started pulling weeds; at least until her phone went off.

Tracy sat back on her heels and read the text: ‘Ryan’ Movie tonight? Pick you up at 7
Tracy typed back: Sweet! Sure! And thought “OMG…I have a boyfriend…”

Raquel looked at the kids and said “Go get on your suits…we’re going into the pool” They of course hopped up and were up to their rooms in no time. Raquel walked slowly back up the steps, taking in how her body was moving at this size. She felt bigger and stronger and more confident than she had ever felt in her life; she liked how she felt in Tracy Collins body.

She went into her bedroom and opened up the bottom drawer to find Tracy’s swim suits. She pulled out a black one piece, considered it and kept looking. “Yeah…that’s what I’m talking about” she said as she pulled out a green bikini.

Raquel dropped her shorts and peeled her top off before unhooking her bra. She paused and took in her naked body in the mirror “If this is what 41 feels and looks like; I can definitely live with it” she said as she hoisted her breasts up and let them fall back against her chest. She marveled at how soft and smooth her skin was as she ran her fingers over her belly “Screw it…I’m proud of this body and I’m going to show it off”

She ran her hands over her ample hips and rear as she brought the green bikini bottom up over her thighs and got it into place. She tied the bikini top on and adjusted her breasts in the fabric admiring how good they looked.
 
Raquel loved how her hips swayed and her body jiggled as she walked out to the pool. Without hesitating, she tossed her towel, got a running start and jumped into the pool. By the time she came up out of the water, the kids were cracking up laughing at their Mom’s antics.

“What’s gotten into you Mom?” Dani asked.

“Just feeling good” she replied and floated on her back as she watched the kids ease into the pool.  They played all afternoon until the kids got worn out. After dinner, Raquel got the kids to bed and went downstairs for a little bit of time to herself.

She opened up a bottle of red wine and poured herself a glass, instantly falling in love with the taste. She sat on the back deck of her house and kicked her feet up onto a small table in front of her. Raquel flipped open Tracy’s phone and saw a message there ‘State Party Officials want to put your name forward to Gov. to appoint you to vacant Judge Post. Will you?’

Raquel looked around wide eyed “Judge Tracy Collins…” she smiled; “it has a nice ring to it…”

Raquel woke up the next morning after hearing the kids beginning to move. She ran her legs up and down over the silk sheets as she stretched in bed. “I don’t want to change back” she thought to herself; somewhat surprised at thinking it.

Tracy woke up Friday morning with a smile still on her face. She had had such a great time the night before: She had forgotten how much fun it was to be 16. It turned out that Ryan was a very sweet and innocent boy; polite and kind. He had picked her up and they had chatted on the drive over to the theater.

Tracy found it hard at first to sound 16 and she had to work on it all night but Ryan didn’t seem to mind a few more mature words and sentence structures filtering in. They had met up with a group of others that Tracy just tried to blend in with and she thought she had pulled it off.

It was such a trip for Tracy to have a boy buy her ticket and some popcorn and a drink.
They held hands throughout the movie and Ryan had put his arm around her and she snuggled up against him, taking in the smell of Axe. At the end of the night, Ryan had kissed her in an awkward inexperienced way that Raquel truly enjoyed in playing her role.

“I don’t want to change back” she whispered to herself; somewhat surprised at saying it.

Tracy had such energy in this body and was enjoying the lack of aches and pains that came with youth. She bounded out of the twin bed and the cramped room that was quite messy with clothes strewn about the floor. She picked up a pair of jeans from the floor and a blue t-shirt. She didn’t even bother putting on a bra as she whipped her hair up; twisting it out of her way as she headed for the attic to clean it out for her Mom.

“Raquel honey…Are you up there?” she heard Janice call out. Her stomach still fluttered when she heard someone call her Raquel.

“Yeah Mom…I’m up here cleaning” Tracy called down to her ‘Mom’.

“I never thought I’d see the day” Janice said, hands on her hips, shaking her head. “I don’t know who you are or what you’ve done with my real daughter but you can definitely stay” Janice said jokingly.

Tracy froze for a moment before she got the Invasion of the Body Snatchers reference and she laughed in return. “It’s okay Mom…you asked me to work on this and I am”

“My little girl is growing up” Janice said as she pitched in to a pile of clothes on the opposite side of the attic.

“Come on Mom…give me a little bit of credit, I mean, I’m doing a good job for Mrs. Collins this summer” Tracy said.

“I know you are honey, I’m just teasing you” Janice replied.

After a few minute lull as they both worked, Janice asked “So how was your date last night?”

“Mom” Tracy said in a tone that only a teenaged girl could achieve “It wasn’t a date…”

“Oh I know…nobody uses the word date anymore unless you’re a 39 year old fossil like me”
Tracy was surprised to hear Janice giver her age; she was older than her ‘Mom’ and she loved it. “It wasn’t a date Mom” she repeated.

“It’s okay…I like Ryan” Janice said.

“Well I do too” Tracy admitted and it was true although she convinced herself it was just role-playing. Raquel liked Ryan and as long as she was Raquel; it was okay.

“So are all of you going to the lake tomorrow?” Janice asked.

“If I’m allowed to go…” Tracy said. She had heard everybody planning the Saturday trip the night before.

“Of course you can go…have fun…you’re only sixteen once” Janice said.

“That’s what you think” Tracy thought before she blurted out “Thanks Mom; It’s going to be awesome up there tomorrow”

Raquel got out of bed and slipped Tracy’s robe over her shoulders. She made her way downstairs and got breakfast ready for the kids before she surprised them by announcing that she was taking them to Six Flags tomorrow.

“Yes!” Dani screamed.

Sam was excited too but wasn’t quite sure what to expect until they both described the rides he could go on.

They spent the day running errands. Raquel enjoyed driving without someone else having to be in the car with her watching her and she enjoyed the attention she got while she was out. A lot of people knew her and said Hi. She kept getting asked about if she was going to take the Judgeship, but she remained cagey with her responses.

The only downside seemed to be that she was getting tired as the day went on. “Not as young as I used to be…” she said before she added “…yesterday” under her breath. Her feet ached a bit in her sandals and she had to keep making minor adjustments to her clothes to make sure they fit properly and she maintained her image. Raquel had never had to do her hair and make-up before she ran to Target, but she did that day.

That evening, Tracy’s phone went off: it was her office manager asking her if she wanted to join the rest of the office out for dinner. “Sure…let me see if I can get a sitter” she replied.

She pulled up her old number in the phone but dialing Raquel just went straight to voice mail. “Phone must be off” she sighed before she scrolled through the contact list before she found Janice Brooks. Raquel’s stomach took off on her; this was going to be fun.

“Hello” Raquel heard the familiar voice say on the other end of the line.

“Hello Janice; it’s Tracy Collins; How’s it going?” Raquel said to her Mom. It hit her that she was now older than her by 2 years.

“Just fine Tracy…how are you?” Janice replied to her daughter, behind Tracy’s voice.

“Good: I was trying to reach Raquel. I know I gave her the day off, but I was hoping that she might be able to watch the kids for a few hours this evening” Raquel said with a broad smile that came with talking to her Mom like a peer and not a parent.

“Well, Raquel is out with a few of her friends tonight; they’re getting ready to go to the lake tomorrow so they were running some errands tonight to get some supplies” Janice replied.

“Well tell her I hope she has fun tomorrow” Raquel said. She had forgotten about the lake day plans now that she was in Tracy’s body.

“If it’s just a couple of hours Tracy, you can bring your kids down here. I can watch them for you” Janice said.

“Really…you’d watch them” Raquel said.

“Sure; they’re no problem” Janice said.

“It’s just dinner so it shouldn’t take too long” Raquel said.

“I’d love to watch them this evening…with Raquel out and her sister away, I’ve got nothing going on tonight”

Raquel smiled to herself and thought “Too bad Tracy won’t get to interact with Stephanie” Raquel’s older sister was 19 and in the Air Force. “I’ll be down with them in a few minutes…Thank You so much Janice….this means a lot to me”

Raquel got the kids ready; they both packed up some toys and movies. “We get to go see Raquel’s Mom” Sam yelled “Is Raquel going to be there?” he asked.

Raquel smiled and said “No sweetie, she’s not home tonight…you’ll see her again on Monday” as she shook her head at the truth of the matter.

Raquel hadn’t thought about interacting with her Mom while she was Tracy but now that the opportunity had presented itself, she found herself quite excited by their meeting.

She drove down the street and pulled into the driveway. As the kids piled out, Raquel saw her Mom come out of the house and walk up to her. Janice was taller than Raquel, but not Tracy. In Tracy’s body, Raquel was now at least 6 inches taller than her Mom. “Thank you so much Janice” she said as they neared the other.

“No problem Tracy” Raquel felt her stomach jump at being called Tracy by her Mom along with getting to call her Janice in return.  It was weird for Raquel to be at her house not as herself. Everything looked smaller to her and she was sure that if she saw her room while in this body, she would revolt at the messy site of it. Raquel was quickly getting used to the small luxuries that came with being Tracy.

“You have my number if anything goes wrong” Raquel said as she got back behind the wheel of her BMW.

“I do…go enjoy your dinner” Janice said.

Raquel smiled wide and said “Thanks Mo…my…my friends thank you too”

Janice squinted a bit at the wording but waved and took a step back to let the car back out of the drive.

Raquel slapped her forehead after she went down the road a few yards. “Stupid” she yelled inside the car.

Raquel quickly realized that dining at a nice restaurant with colleagues was something that she enjoyed over sitting in a fast food place with teenagers.

Ordering Salmon and wine sure beat a quarter pounder…

Which is what Tracy was currently eating with Ryan, Brittany, Kayleigh, Sean, Matt, Hailey, Hannah, Abby and Josh: They were loud and taking up three tables in the back of the McDonald’s that Raquel had driven past on her way to the restaurant.

“Oh my God…we are going to have such a good time tomorrow” Abby said.

“I know…I’ve really been looking forward to this” Tracy agreed.

“Glad you get to go Raquel” Kayleigh said.

“Yeah” Tracy replied.

“You know what I heard…” Matt said. “I heard that Mrs. Collins was going to be the next Judge; maybe she’ll let me out of that speeding ticket since I know you, huh Quel”

Tracy just laughed “It would be cool if she did get that seat”

The conversation kept going and the furthest thing on Tracy’s mind was a pending judicial appointment. She really didn’t want to go back to that life and she hoped that tomorrow would never end. She was really looking forward to a day relaxing and having fun on the lake.

Tracy found herself lying flat on her back, exhausted on Raquel’s bed on Saturday night. She thought back to just how much fun and how alive she felt. She couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she lay there with the light of the moon streaming in through the window across her small face.

The smells of the day lingered on her. She could smell the lake water on her hair; the suntan lotion on her skin and the smoke of the bonfire on her clothes. “I have never had as much fun as I did today. I have…uh…Raquel has…the best life” she said to herself. A tear formed in her eye though as she thought about Monday morning “I can’t go back” she said “I won’t go back”

Raquel collapsed on her large bed on Saturday night, exhausted. She thought about how much fun she had had going to Six Flags with her…or rather Tracy’s kids. She could still smell the suntan lotion on her skin and she would swear that she had cotton candy in her hair.

Dani and Sam had both fallen asleep in the car on the ride home and she had carried both of them to their rooms and tucked them in before she went into her own room and lay down.

Raquel sighed and shook her head “I don’t want to go back to being Raquel” she said to herself. “I don’t know what I’m going to have to say or do, but I have to stay here as Tracy; I can’t go back to being little sixteen year old Raquel now…not after this”

Raquel looked out the front window and saw a small, slender figure coming up the front walkway. The sun was setting behind the approaching person so their face was obscured but Raquel knew that walk anywhere; it was her own. “What’s she doing here tonight?” she said to herself as she got up to open the door.

The door swung open as Tracy was still two steps away. She smiled broadly and said “Hello Mrs. Collins”

“Good evening Raquel…what brings you here tonight?”

“Can I…uh…come in?” she asked nervously.

“Of course” Raquel said as she swept her arm back and stepped out of the way so her former body could come in. Raquel felt her heart beating in her chest. She was nervous and knew what she wanted to say to Tracy tomorrow, but she was nervous that she had come over on her own tonight.

Tracy felt her own heart pounding in her chest. She was nervous and afraid of what she was going to say and it took every ounce of courage that she had to come over her tonight to talk to Raquel. “Are Dani and Sam already in bed?” Tracy asked as she stepped out of the light canvas shoes she had worn.

“Yeah, they laid down about 10 minutes ago” Raquel said as they went into the living room.

Tracy sat down on the edge of the couch. She smoothed out the short white pleated skirt she had on ran a hand over the blue and white stripped tank top. Her skinny, smooth legs shone out with a fresh tan as she crossed her legs daintily. Her left foot bounced nervously up and down as she smoothed out her long brown hair over her shoulders.

Raquel came in and sat down in the overstuffed armchair across from her. She tugged at the hem of her brown shorts and she rolled her shoulders to smooth out her tan shirt. She looked cautiously at the young girl across from her and said “So what brings you here tonight?”

Tracy cleared her throat and pursed her lips, her voice nearly cracked as she said “We need to talk”

“About…?” Raquel inquired.

“About switching back” Tracy said quickly.

“Oh…what about it” Raquel replied cagily.

“Look…here’s the thing: I’ve been thinking about this and I’ve been thinking about how I want to say this; so I’m just going to come right out and say it: I don’t want to change back.” Tracy shut her eyes.

Raquel’s heart leaped up inside her. She didn’t want to overplay her hand and show her absolute joy. She blinked and her mouth came open “Um…uh…Tracy…that’s; well I’m surprised to hear you say that”

“Look please don’t be mad at me but I don’t want to go back to being Tracy Collins” a tear formed and ran down her cheek “I don’t want to change back and I…”

Raquel cut her off “…it’s okay”

“…It’s…what?” Tracy said perking up and sitting up straight.

“It’s okay” Raquel said and began to smile. She stood up and let her shoulders sag. “I don’t want to change back either…Raquel”

“Oh my God…did you just say what I think you said?” Tracy said as she stood up, her mouth and eyes wide.

“Yeah…I just called you Raquel…Raquel” Raquel said relinquishing her name.

“But you…”

“You can call me Tracy; or Mrs. Collins if you’re being formal and polite to your elders”

Raquel wanted to squeal in her teenaged high pitched squeal. “You mean I get to stay…really”

Tracy nodded and looked down at the young girl before her. It was her body and her life and she was handing it over, never to return to it, but she couldn’t be happier. “I was going to talk to you tomorrow” Tracy confessed.

Raquel’s hands were pressed to her cheeks, her arms bent along with her knees. “I can’t believe this! This is so awesome…I’m so happy, but…why do you want to stay?”

“Why do you want to stay?” Tracy asked the teenager. “You’re giving up a lot; great job that’s about to get better…nice house…nice car…future in politics and most importantly…Dani and Sam”

“That’s the hardest part without question. I love those kids with all my heart and soul and I always will, but I also know that they’re in great hands with you” Raquel said as she sat back down. “As for everything else, well, in the beginning it was just role playing for me. I enjoyed acting like a kid again. I had chores and a Mom to tell me when to do them. I had a boyfriend…a boy crushing on me; I was a little sister…it was cool. It made my stomach flutter playing you. It was exciting to call someone Mom.”

Tracy smiled listening to Raquel talk about the last few days.

“But then, it started to become something more to me. Hanging out on Friday night with my friends; I couldn’t care less about being a Judge. In fact I didn’t want to be a Judge or a lawyer or even an adult anymore. All those responsibilities just felt like a weight around me, holding me down. Being you…being Raquel was all that mattered. I was having fun for the first time in ages, I didn’t have a care in the world except the thought of having to go back to living as Tracy. Once I had lived as Raquel, I knew I couldn’t go back. I didn’t want to change back.”

Raquel fidgeted her hands before she continued “Saturday at the lake was the best day of my life. As the day went on, I knew I’d have to talk to you and try to convince you to let me stay in your body and life. You’re giving up your youth; the rest of your teens, your twenties and your thirties to me, so I have to ask you the same question: why?”

Tracy smiled. She put her hands down on her full thighs and said “Because I’ve never been happier than these last three days. I also felt so awkward as Raquel. I had no idea where I was going and the future, frankly, scared me half to death. But Tracy has her life together. I’m established and respected. My future in politics could be endless and as for those years, well, to me it’s a small price to pay. I love this body. It’s so comfortable and empowering to me. I’ve never felt so confident as I do as Tracy.”

“I knew how great I felt by Thursday afternoon. The next few days just solidified it for me. I get what you’re saying about role playing. I felt that too in the beginning. It was neat to call up my Mom and talk to her adult to adult and to stand there, towering over her…well…icing on the cake. Yesterday was a great day for me too and the bond I feel with Dani and Sam is so close. I am honored that you think I am worthy of being you, for being their Mom.”

Raquel wiped away a tear from her eye. “You’re making me cry”

Tracy wiped away her own tears. “I guess I just don’t know how to say it really. I just prefer being Tracy. It just feels right; like it was meant to be”

Raquel perked up at the words “I know that feeling! It’s like I was in the wrong body and life as Tracy but it’s all right when I’m Raquel. I was supposed to be Raquel all along and you were supposed to be Tracy. I feel so comfortable as Raquel that it amazed me when you said you felt awkward as her.”

“So if I understand everything correctly: If we both now put on the red heels in these bodies and clothes, we will become the enhanced and permanent versions of each other.” Raquel said.

“So I stay as Tracy, but I get your legal knowledge”

“And I stay as Raquel and lose that legal knowledge while gaining more of your quirks and really getting to be a teen again” Raquel agreed.

“So you should put the shoes on first then” Tracy said to Raquel.

Raquel nodded as Tracy went upstairs quietly to retrieve them. She watched her old body climb the stairs from the bottom. She watched Tracy’s thighs rub slightly and her bottom sway and her blonde hair bob up and down. She smiled as she realized that that body would not be hers again. She was about to hit reset.

Tracy smiled broadly now that her back was to her old body. “I get to stay!” ran through her mind over and over as she went into the bedroom closet and pulled out the red stiletto heels that had started all of this. “All mine from now on…” she said as she looked around the room.

Coming back down the stairs with a smile on her face, Tracy handed the shoes to Raquel, who turned dramatically to the right and marched into the living room holding the shoes in front of her.

Raquel giggled as she sat back down and put the shoes down on the floor in front of her.
Tracy stood nearby, anxious to see what happened. She looked down at Raquel’s tiny feet and remembered when they were hers and she put them in those heels the first time and triggered this chain of events that was now coming to an end with her as Tracy permanently and Tracy now as her.

“Well…here we go” Raquel said as she slipped her right foot in first, followed by her left.  

Raquel’s stomach fluttered and she felt a tingling run through her body starting at her shoulders. The shoes were affecting her mentally and physically. She grew 2 inches up to 5’4”. Her legs shaped up some and her breasts grew larger. Her skin became flawless and her lips puffed up slightly.

Her legal knowledge fled her but not her confidence or her comfort level. Names and faces rushed into her as she became more Raquel than Tracy, even though a definite part remained unchanged.

Then as if a switch were turned off, her stomach settled and her nerves calmed. She looked out of the sides of her eyes and Tracy detected a youthful exuberance emitting from her that was not there previously. “It’s over…I think” she said as she stepped out of the heels.

“How do you feel?” Tracy asked her.

“Wonderful…alive…like Raquel” Raquel answered. “Your turn” she added as she flipped her hands toward Tracy.

Tracy sat down and began to work her feet into the tight shoes. She wiggled and cajoled her right foot in with the help of her finger “Tight shoes…maybe I’ll give them to you to hold onto” she said smiling up at the standing Raquel.

She got her left foot in and stood up. Now her stomach flipped and a sense of liveliness ran through her. Her smooth soft skin tightened, her blue eyes brightened, her soft stomach came in slightly as her mind reeled in at the influx of knowledge. Her confidence level, which was already quite high, went up even further. She knew that nothing could ever stop her.

Part of her would always be Raquel, but she knew that she was Tracy now.

“Wow…that was intense” Tracy said as the feelings stopped. “Wow” she repeated. She grabbed the heel of the right shoe and tugged it off. She balanced on her bare right foot as she lifted her left foot up to get that shoe off. “Ugh” she snorted as she pulled off the tight left heel.

“Mrs. Collins?” Raquel said quietly.

“Yes Raquel” Tracy replied without hesitation.

“I hope you know what you’re doing”

As years of legal experience flooded her mind, she smiled and said “I do”

“Good” Raquel said in return. She knocked on the side of her head and said with a smile “Can’t wait to fill it up again with something different; I’m really looking forward to college”

“As you should be; a bright young woman like yourself has endless possibilities” Tracy said.

Raquel looked around at the house and said “I’d better go”

“Yeah; you need to be back here tomorrow morning at 7:30 anyway” Tracy said. “Get some sleep”

Raquel couldn’t stop smiling as she slipped on her small shoes. She turned to Tracy and suddenly gave her a hug “I can’t thank you enough; you have no idea what this means to me”

Tracy hugged her back “We’re both getting what we want out of this. I was so scared when this happened and now I know it’s the best thing that ever could have happened…to either of us”

Raquel was tearing up again. She wiped away a tear with the heel of her hand. “I’ll see you in the morning Mrs. Collins”

Tracy smiled at hearing her name “I’ll see you then Raquel” she replied.

Raquel gave a quick nod and was gone off the steps; bounding off with youthful energy and stamina as she raced back to her house and her Mom.
