Susan Milowski sat in the stylist chair chatting away. Once a month, she took a Friday morning to go get her hair and nails done. She was talking with her stylist and all the other ladies at the salon as Judy trimmed up the ends of her layered hairstyle and Heather worked on her manicure.
“I just don’t know what I’m going to do with myself come August when Katie goes off to college; I can’t believe that Bill and I will be empty nesters” Susan said.
“You’ll have more time to come in here and get your nails done” Heather told her.
“And you can join our walking group” A lady two chairs down suggested. “I’ve seen you out walking a lot more often lately.
“Well Joan, my doctor told me that it’s good exercise and that I needed to make sure I was getting in at least three hours of exercise a week” Susan replied. She was 46 and in relatively good shape; no major health problems but still in the latter half of her forties, she needed to be sure she was exercising. She had walked to the salon that morning since it was such a beautiful day and it was only a half mile away from her house.
“It’s good for you…once the weather turns, we pick different stores to go to and do laps around them in the mornings” Joan informed her.
“I’ll have to keep that in mind” Susan said. Susan and her husband Bill were getting ready to start a new chapter in their lives as their 18 year old daughter Katie was getting ready to enter Northwestern University in the fall. Their son Kyle was a senior there so they knew Katie would be fine but they also knew that it would be different around the house from now on.
She had skipped her pedicure this morning because she was walking and felt it would just be a waste so as her cut was finishing up, she got ready to walk home.
“I’ll see you ladies later” she said as she exited and started on her way to her house. As she stepped out, she saw her next door neighbor’s daughter Rebecca run past. Rebecca smiled but didn’t break stride on her daily jog to wave.
Susan had only met Rebecca once so far. Her parents had just moved in next door about six weeks ago. They were in a similar situation as Susan: Rebecca was their only child and she was away at the University of Illinois most of the year. They had downsized to a smaller house; the house next door to Susan.
Rebecca had only been home a week but Susan noted that the 20 year old went for a run every day.
Rebecca Jordan was still learning her parents’ new town. She had grown up in a town several miles away and just wasn’t very familiar with their new neighborhood. It seemed nice but it wasn’t home to her yet. Her parents had set up a room for her when she was home on break and she was enjoying running the town to get to know it better.
She didn’t know anyone really but at least she recognized the lady from next door as she ran past the salon in town. She remembered that her name was Susan and she smiled as she went past.
“All these Cape Cod’s look alike” Rebecca thought as she turned onto her street. Rebecca was wearing a pair of skin tight black running capris, a black sports bra and her well-worn Nike running shoes with ankle socks. She had her long black hair pulled back into a ponytail, her Fitbit on her wrist on her IPod earbuds in her ears as she came into the home stretch.
From the other direction, Susan was almost home from her walk back from the Salon. She had on a black V-neck top, tan shorts and Nike running shoes with ankle socks. The difference was that she had never run in her Nikes. On her wrist was an expensive bracelet, around her neck was an equally expensive necklace and the only items in her ears, were diamond earrings.
She was carrying her phone though and it went off just before she got to her house. “Hello” she answered.
“Hey Mom” Katie said in return “I already left with Jen; I didn’t want you to go in and yell for me and get all worried if I wasn’t there”
“Oh, that’s fine…thanks for letting me know” she said as she walked up the front steps.
Rebecca was beginning to slow down as her run came to an end. She began to check her Fitbit and her pulse as she cut through the yard toward the side door. She pulled it open and stepped inside still deep in concentration at getting her Fitbit to register her stats.
Rebecca was moderating her breathing as she looked around confused. “What the…oh shit” she panted. “I’m in the wrong house”
Susan was trying to disconnect her end of the phone call and trying to back up to her home screen. She wasn’t really paying any attention to where she was going as she opened up the front door and stepped inside.
Once inside, she finally got her phone straightened out. She looked up and blushed bright red in embarrassment. “Oh My God, I just walked into the Jordan’s house” she said looking around mortified.
Susan spun around and grabbed the door. She was just beginning to turn the knob when she noticed something wrong: The door knob wouldn’t budge.
She yanked and pulled and twisted it, but it didn’t move in either direction. “Come on you stupid thing” Susan said beginning to sweat and panic. She banged the door with the palm of her hand and gave them bottom a swift kick.
Rebecca turned to head back out, she grabbed the door handle and tried to drop the lever, but it didn’t move. She put all her weight on it and clicked it up and down in her hand but it wouldn’t move. “What the hell; am I trapped in here?” Rebecca mumbled. “What’s the trick to this door?”
As Rebecca struggled with the door, she spotted something on the ground. It was glowing blue and she bent down out of curiosity to see what it was.
“What in the world is this thing?” she mumbled as she got closer.
Susan had stopped herself when she noticed a small glowing red spot on the floor next to her foot. She bent down out of curiosity to see what it could be.
“What in the world is this thing?” she said as she got down, knees creaking a bit as she crouched down.
Rebecca put out her finger slowly but methodically toward the blue orb.
Susan’s finger stretched out cautiously toward the red orb.
With the slightest touch, Rebecca’s blue orb flashed red and Rebecca jerked her hand back and stood up straight.
With the slightest touch, Susan’s red orb flashed blue and Susan snatched her hand back as if she had been bit and she stood back up.
“That was so weird” Rebecca said examining her right index finger.
“That was so weird” Susan said examining her right index finger.
“I wonder what that was all about”
Susan stood back up and began to work the handle of the door up and down again but without any luck. “Argh” she yelled and slapped the back of the door once more with her open palm. With her hand flat against the surface of the door, she realized something else was different.
Susan slowly pulled her hand closer to her face; her bracelet was gone but her wrist wasn’t bare: Where her bracelet had been, now sat a black rubber Fitbit showing her pulse and some other numbers, “What is this?” she asked puzzled.
She tapped the device twice and felt its hard surface “Where’s my bracelet?”
Susan felt something move in her front pocket. She grabbed for her phone there and pulled out a much smaller device; an iPod with a thin rubber cord stretching up her chest. She looked down and noticed that her necklace was gone too. Her hand slapped at her bare chest and only hit the cord that was now there instead of her necklace.
As she looked down, Susan felt something inside her ears. She swatted at them and knocked out a pair of ear buds. They fell, taking the cord with them as they fell the length of her body and ended up slapping against her knees.
Susan ran her fingers over her ears and found that she was no longer wearing earrings. “What in the world?” she said confused.
She stared down at the dangling ear buds transfixed by them. As she stared, she noticed that just beyond them, her shoes changed color “Oh God what the hell?” she yelled out loud lifting up her right foot, then putting it down and lifting her left.
Her white Nike shoes were now pink and black and scuffed and not hers. “Shit!” she yelled and began yanking on the door knob in a renewed effort of panic and fear. She pounded on the inside of the door as the knob still refused to budge.
“Help!” she yelled. “Help me… Get me out of here!” she yelled and pounded no longer caring who heard her.
As she pounded, her tan shorts turned black and began to slide down her legs becoming a pair of tight black Capri running pants stopping just below her knees.
“Help Me” she yelled again as her black V-neck top began to shrink. Her stomach became exposed as it rose up and changed into a black sports bra. “AAAAHHHH!” she yelled seeing her clothes change on her body.
Rebecca also stood up and worked the lever of the door again to no avail; it wouldn’t budge. “Stupid damn door…open!” she said.
Rebecca brought her left hand down to use both on the door but after one quick pull; she pulled her left hand back off and held it suspended in front of her face. There, hanging off her wrist was a gold and silver bracelet. “What the Fuck?” she said confused.
Rebecca also became aware of the fact that her music had stopped playing in her ears. She looked down for her iPod and with a look of total confusion, pulled a cell phone up before her eyes.
Rebecca jerked back and then had to look down as she felt something heavy on her chest. As she leaned forward, a gold and silver necklace hung off her chest, down from her neck. It was expensive and matched the bracelet she now had around her wrist.
Rebecca was getting frightened; she reached up for her ear buds only to discover that nothing was in her ears but she did feel extra weight there as well. Her fingers inched down and ran over the chunky stud earrings that now sat in her ear lobes.
Rebecca’s eyes widened; she didn’t even have pierced ears “How am I wearing earrings?” she thought perplexed.
“Ah” she yipped as she looked down and saw that she was wearing a full top instead of just a sports bra.
She looked further down and was too afraid to scream as she watched her running pants lifting up her legs, exposing her thighs as they changed into a pair of tan shorts. Even her shoes were different; they were bright white and barely used.
Rebecca backed away from the door and stood in the middle of the kitchen. She looked around frantically “What the fuck did I just see?” she thought. She brought her hands up to her temples “What’s going on?” she said out loud to the empty room. “What’s happened to my…my clothes?”
Rebecca looked around the room; she staggered back a few more steps until she bumped into the counter. She let out another little yelp and clutched her arms tightly against her chest “What’s going on around here…where are my clothes?”
Susan stood frozen in the kitchen of her next door neighbor’s house. She looked down and took in her new outfit and accessories. As she was staring at the Fitbit on her arm, she noticed something else; her arm hair looked darker. She had very light hair usually but now, it looked darker and heavier.
Susan looked at her left arm and saw that it too looked darker and it wasn’t just the hair; her skin looked a shade or two tanner. Without having on a full top, she took in a glance at the top of her left shoulder and saw freckles there. “What the…I don’t have freckles on my shoulders?”
Susan was still staring at her arm. Her upper arm had gotten a bit loose in the past few years. It was something she tried to ignore and cover with sleeves but now her mouth fell open in shock. Susan watched as her upper arm pulled taut and fixed then, her muscle bulged out strong and firm.
“Oh My God!” she exclaimed as her arm even felt stronger and she brought her right hand over to give it a squeeze. “My arm never felt like that before” she said as she turned her head just in time to see her right arm firming up too.
“This is…this is amazing” she said while watching her arm grow stronger. She felt a tension rising in her shoulders. She pulled her chin in to her chest and swiveled her head and eyes back and forth as her shoulders rose up showing off muscle tone and rising up the straps of the sports bra she was currently wearing.
Susan splayed her fingers out. They wavered and shook from her nerves and concern of what was actually happening to her. She couldn’t comprehend why her clothes had changed and now her arms were changing as well.
“Oh…My…What…the…AAAAHHHHH!!!” she wound her way up into a scream as she witnessed her hands change shape on her body. The veins on the backs of her hands, which had grown rather thick faded away and disappeared, leaving nothing behind but smooth skin.
Her manicured nails shrank back to be even with the ends of her fingers, her pink nail polish faded away leaving pale natural nails behind. Her fingers themselves seemed to grow smoother and thinner on her hands. Small nicks and marks disappeared.
Susan jumped back “What’s happening to me?!” as she held her arms out straight in front of her.
Rebecca stood tightly coiled in the middle of the room; her arms were locked at her chest. She shivered in fear, not understanding why her clothing had just changed on her body. As she looked down at herself, she thought she saw her nose move. It looked like it was pulling in and shrinking on her face “But that’s impossible” she thought.
She brought her hand up and ran her first two fingers over the surface of her nose and thought “It does feel different…but how can that be?” She detected a slight bump on the bridge and her nostrils felt slimmer; it didn’t feel like her nose.
Rebecca spun around looking for a mirror or shiny surface. On the wall behind the dining room table, she saw a decorative mirror and headed for it.
Her heart was pounding in her chest in anticipation of what she would see. Rebecca was full of apprehension as she slowly moved her face up and into view “IIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!”
Rebecca screamed and clutched at her nose and ran for the door. She hit it with all her might and began to yank on the door handle with both hands and all her strength.
The door stayed stubbornly shut. Rebecca ran through the kitchen and towards the front door. She started to work on that door but it too wouldn’t open; she was trapped in the house somehow.
As Rebecca stared at the door handle, her vision began to blur; details became fuzzy. She blinked but nothing cleared up and she felt a tingling sensation at the corners of her eyes. Dread filled her as she saw a pair of black rimmed glasses on a table by the front door. She picked them up and slid them onto her face, instantly clearing up her vision.
“Oh God, what now?” she asked herself as she saw another mirror on the wall in the hall. She turned to it and let her eyes widen and her chin drop at the sight she saw.
“My face…” she said as she looked at her changing visage. She confirmed that her nose was smaller than before but other changes had occurred as well and more were still going on as she watched.
Her eyes had changed from brown to a light blue color and were smaller. Her eye brows had thinned and lightened in color, her cheeks had dropped lower and her lips were thinning as she watched in horror.
“Aahhh!” she said and as her lips parted to let out her exasperated sound, she saw her teeth shift position and shrink smaller inside her mouth. Her chin came to more of a point and her skin began to shift.
Small lines appeared at the corners of her eyes, the corners of her mouth and two lines formed across her forehead.
Her long dark brown hair began to lighten and rise up. All of her length disappeared as her hair came up short to the back of her neck. Her part shifted and her hairstyle changed from a basic straight out of the way look to a complex layered cut that mixed blonde and dark hair.
The face looked familiar to her now “Oh Shit” Rebecca said realizing what was happening to her now “I’m turning into Mrs. Milowski from next door” She remembered seeing her as she jogged through down town. She remembered that this was the outfit that she had on and now that she saw her face in the mirror it had hit her. “I just walked into the wrong house…her house…but how does that make me turn into her?”
“Uh…” Rebecca said as a new sensation engulfed her body “What the…am I getting shorter?”
Rebecca was shrinking while next door Susan was growing.
Susan was still checking out her firm arms and shoulders when she felt her back stretching and the muscles in her legs tensing. “That feels so weird” she said as her legs grew longer. Susan was rising up from 5’3” to 5’8”.
As she grew she felt her legs also becoming stronger and firmer. Her calves tighten and rose up below the bottoms of the running pants. She could feel her feet shifting inside the shoes and she could imagine what was going on in them.
Curious, she pulled her right foot out first, and then stepped on the heel of her left shoe to get that foot out. Underneath the outline of white socks, she saw ripples of movement at her toes. Once again using her feet, she pulled off her socks and gasped.
Her feet were bigger and much like her hands, smoother. Her toes were now longer and no longer had any polish on them. Susan bent down and ran her hands over the tops of her feet and toes confirming their smoothness despite the fact that they were also a bit sweaty.
She stood upright “Wait…these clothes…I know whose clothes these are! Oh…” she recalled Rebecca Jordan jogging past her as she exited the salon earlier. “I came into Rebecca’s house and now I’m wearing Rebecca’s clothes and…” she looked down at her long toned arms and hands then down again to her bigger feet and changing legs “…and I think I’m turning into Rebecca Jordan”
“Why am I turning into her?” Susan said as she felt her thighs tighten. Muscle replaced fat beneath the running pants that now fit much better. Her thighs separated and her eyes widened as she felt her ass begin to rise up and tighten as well.
Susan’s hands flew to her backside as the flesh there tightened and rose up into a firm ass. She slapped her right cheek and felt the vibration off the firm flesh. Her hips narrowed and her waist came in just as her hands slapped down on the front of her tight black pants.
Susan felt a vibrating humming sensation emanating from there. Her knees came together and she clenched her muscles as her vagina, vulva and clitoris began to change into Rebecca’s.
It all felt tighter suddenly and she felt pressure radiating outward as she felt skin shifting and refolding and rubbing against her panties. Her right middle finger twitched across the top of her pants causing her knees to weaken and Susan dropped down into a crouch.
Susan eased down and sat on the tile floor allowing her knees to spread outward as she brought the soles of her feet together in front of her. Susan’s bare stomach began to constrict and pull flat on her body and she ran her fingers over it feeling the different texture of her skin over the muscles.
Rebecca watched herself shrinking down shorter in the mirror with a look of terror on her now older looking face. She dropped five inches in height as she stared into the mirror; watching her chest and back constrict inward as her shoulders consistently lowered down.
Rebecca lifted and rolled her shoulders as she felt them come in and round off under the black top. She watched and felt her upper arms expanding, growing larger and coming in contact with her sleeves as her muscles deflated and lost tone. Her arm hair lightened and thinned as veins appeared on the backs of her hands. Her skin thickened and became rougher on her hands and her fingers grew thicker as her nails grew out longer.
The ends filed down and pink polish appeared; light at first but it continued to darken into a professional manicure on her nails. For the first time, she realized that she was also now wearing a diamond ring and a gold wedding band on her left ring finger.
Rebecca adjusted the top and the bra beneath it. Her breasts sat high up in the cups as her breasts were larger than Mrs. Milowski’s. That was about to change though as Rebecca dropped her chin and watched the tone and texture of her skin on her upper chest begin to change.
She had a view of her own cleavage as it too began to change. Rebecca let out a quick “AH” as her breasts began to reduce in size. They looked flatter against her chest and she felt them settle further into the bra which obviously gave her much needed support.
“How old is she?” Rebecca questioned herself. She had really only talked with Susan one time last week for a few moments. She raked her brain to remember details about her and her family.
As she was thinking, her stomach began to soften and expand outward into a small belly as her waist and hips inched outward as well. Rebecca put her hand on her new belly and felt the softness there.
Her waist and hips were filling in the tan shorts she was now wearing and her eyes popped wide as she felt her ass begin to grow and sag. She knew that she had been wearing a larger size of panties but now she felt her body growing into them. Her hands went to her behind and she felt flesh adding on as it widened.
Her thighs began to spread to match her hips as Rebecca watched legs get paler, then softer and rounder. Rebecca licked her lips as she felt an odd vibration below her waist. It seemed to radiate out to the base of her spine. Her body shifted forward involuntarily with her chin jutting out and her shoulders rising up in anticipation.
She sensed her vagina shifting and moving on her. She felt her folds of skin sliding against each other and reforming inside the larger panties. It felt looser and yet she got a sense of pleasure running through her body at the same time as her clitoris hummed.
She knew that with the slightest touch, she would most likely orgasm. Her breathing had increased and become shallow.
Susan felt a sense of inflation reach her chest. Her breasts began firm once again and rose up before they started to grow larger. “I have the body of a college girl” Susan realized as her breasts filled out the sports bra “Oh My Gosh…I’m like the same age as Katie now” she said thinking about her daughter. “And I think I’m younger than Kyle!” she said thinking about her son. “This is impossible”
Susan sensed the skin and muscles in her neck tighten as she felt her chin shifting on her face. She spun around and saw a small magnetic mirror on the refrigerator and she snatched off the door. Her chin was rounder than before and she rubbed it in response.
Her lips spread out longer and wider and her mouth watered as her teeth shifted shape and position inside her mouth.
“Oh My God” she said using her new mouth for the first time and hearing her new voice for the first time.
Susan’s cheeks rose up and the small laugh lines around the corners of her eyes and mouth vanished. Her eyes flashed dark brown and widened. Her nose began to grow longer and wider; it broadened across the bridge and her nostrils flared out.
Her forehead smoothed and her eyebrows darkened and thickened as her ears rose up.
Finally her hair began to grow. It darkened to a uniform brown and began to grow out over her neck and ears, cascading down her back.
Susan whipped her hair back and forth feeling the swish of it over her shoulders “I look exactly like Rebecca” she said to herself.
Susan looked down at herself and brought her hands up to grasp her firm breasts but it was something else that grabbed her attention as she squeezed. Susan shot her left hand out “Where are my rings? What happened to my wedding ring?!”
Her right hand came and ran over her bare fingers frantically before it hit her “If I don’t have my rings or anything else of my possessions and I look like Rebecca…then I must be Rebecca”
Susan looked toward the door only to see that it was already open.
Rebecca regained her composure and her breathing came back under control as she watched her thighs puff out until they came together where the shorts stopped. Her knees gained additional flesh as well before her calf muscles dropped and took most of the tone away from her lower legs.
Her ankles fluctuated and she could feel her feet shrinking and changing in her shoes. She felt her toenails rise up and rub her socks as her toes shrank smaller on her now smaller feet.
Rebecca kicked off her shoes and peeled off her socks using her toes. They were still changing as they were exposed to her. Pink nail polish was appearing on them that matched her fingers. She lifted her toes and watched as new muscles and tendons stretched beneath her skin, lifting up her pink painted toes.
Rebecca sighed as she looked back up to her reflection in the mirror “I look like Susan now; I look exactly like her”
Rebecca’s attention then shifted though as the front door swung wide open. She took a few hesitant steps toward it afraid that it was a trick of some kind before she ran at it full speed. The screen door gave way easily and Rebecca soon found herself panting in the Milowski’s front yard. She felt cool grass between the toes of her bare feet.
Rebecca swung around when she heard a voice saying “Oh My God” and getting closer to her.
Susan had stepped outside of the Jordan’s house. She stepped down onto the driveway; the concrete was hot beneath her bare feet. As she looked toward her own house, she got the ultimate shock of her life: She saw herself stagger out onto her front lawn.
Susan started heading that way, aware of the surreal situation and thinking that if she had turned into Rebecca, then Rebecca must have turned into her.
Rebecca saw herself approaching her. She wanted to faint but instead she screamed.
Susan reacted to seeing her body screaming by unleashing a scream of her own.
“Rebecca! Is that you?” Susan asked.
“Yeah…but who are you?” Rebecca replied.
“It’s me…Susan Milowski; I’m in your body” Susan replied.
“But…but how…why…why did we switch bodies with each other” Rebecca asked. “I…I can’t be you…I don’t even really know you”
“And I don’t really know you either” Susan replied. “I don’t know what happened; I was coming back from the salon and I got distracted with my phone and the next thing I know, I’m standing inside your kitchen”
“Yeah…I’m not used to this neighborhood yet so when I started checking out my time…I walked into your house but then I couldn’t get out” Rebecca said.
“Me too! I yanked and pulled on the door but it wouldn’t open” Susan replied.
“Yeah, like it wouldn’t budge at all” Rebecca said as her eyes widened “And then; and then there was this little blue light by my feet”
“Blue light?! Are you kidding me? There was a red light that turned blue when I touched it when I was in your house” Susan said excitedly.
“My light turned red” Rebecca said looking up and into her own eyes.
“So you had a blue light that turned red and I had a red light that turned blue”
“If we both touched those things then, then…those lights must be what caused us to switch bodies like it was some kind of UFO or something” Rebecca said quickly rambling.
“We have to find those lights” Susan stated.
“I didn’t see them again after I touched it” Rebecca said.
“That’s no good” Susan agreed saying “I don’t remember seeing it either but then once my body started changing on me, I was kind of consumed by that”
“Yeah, tell me about it” Rebecca said looking down at herself again before looking at Susan in her body. “I can’t believe what I’m seeing; you look exactly like me”
“I know…you look exactly like me too; even down to birthmarks and freckles” Susan said.
“I didn’t think it was possible to actually switch bodies with somebody” Rebecca said. “What are we going to do Mrs. Milowski?”
“Um…first of all, you’re Mrs. Milowski now. We have to act like the other until we figure this out” Susan said. “Come on inside…we have to tell each other what we need to know”
“I can’t be Mrs. Milowski” Rebecca protested “I can’t be married to anyone let alone your husband”
Susan tip toed into her own house and looked around.
“What are you looking for?” Rebecca asked.
“I don’t know…glowing orbs…” Susan replied.
“Well I don’t know where those orbs are but I know I have all your jewelry”
Susan grabbed Rebecca’s hand “Thank God…you need to take care of these”
“I will…I guess I have to” Rebecca replied.
“This so weird…I can’t be talking to myself can I?” Rebecca asked.
“I know it’s weird and I can’t believe I’m looking at my body in front of me, I mean someone else is in my body and I’m not in there. I’m in someone else’s body” Susan rambled.
The two women walked into Susan’s house and sat down in the living room and began to hash out details that they would need to know.
After about an hour of talking, they heard a car in the driveway. “Oh shit” Susan said “Katie must be home”
“I can’t be somebody’s Mom!” Rebecca said panicking. “They’re going to know…they’ll see right through me”
“No they won’t” Susan snapped “Just handle it okay”
Rebecca and Susan stood up as Katie came in. “Hey Mom I’m…oh…Hi” she said noticing a second person in the living room.
Rebecca stammered for a moment before she said “Hey Katie…This is Rebecca from next door, I don’t think you two have met yet”
Katie stuck her hand out “Nice to meet you Rebecca”
Susan put her hand out and shook her daughters’ hand “Nice to meet you too Katie” she said almost shyly.
“So…are in you in school?” Katie asked.
“I’m studying nursing at U of I…junior year coming up” Susan replied.
“Cool; I’m going to Northwestern” Katie responded. “So what brings you over to talk to my Mom?”
“Oh, uh…I got home from my run at the same time your Mom was getting home…we started talking and you know…” Susan said.
“Well since you’re not from here, maybe I can show you around sometime” Katie offered.
“Yeah” Susan said perking up “I’d like that”
Katie gave her Mom a quick smile before she headed upstairs “Talk to you soon Rebecca”
“Okay” Susan said.
Rebecca gave her old body a light slap on the arm “I don’t think I can do this”
“What, you were just fine” Susan replied while thinking about having a chance to go out with her daughter as a friend; someone the same age instead of as her Mother. “Maybe I can make something positive out of this” she thought.
“What do I do now though” Rebecca asked.
“Look, just say that you’re not feeling good once Bill gets home. Go to bed…or at least up to my bedroom; get on my laptop and we can chat tonight and try to think this thing through” Susan said. “I should get going so it doesn’t look too funny”
They exchanged passwords and log ins and Susan looked around her house with a bit of nerves. “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do” she said.
Rebecca’s jaw dropped “Gross…no thank you” but Susan just laughed as she went out the front door and walked across the lawn to what was now her new house.
Rebecca watched her old body and life walk away from her and panic set in. She walked around the house just getting familiar with the surroundings still feeling awkward in her own skin.
She was in the kitchen when her ‘husband’ Bill came in from work. Rebecca’s heart took off beating.
“Hey honey how was your day” Bill asked as he came in and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.
Rebecca blushed but was also pale from her nerves. “It was…” she said her voice cracking “it was okay”
Bill stopped and turned to her “Are you okay? You don’t look so good”
Rebecca gave a weak smile “No, I’m not feeling good at all” she said.
Bill looked concerned and gave her a smile “Go to bed…I’ll order pizza for me and the kids; get some rest”
Rebecca was a bit relieved, at least momentarily. “I think I will” she turned and headed to her bedroom.
Once upstairs and behind closed doors, Rebecca began to strip down. She took down her tan shorts and took off her black top. She examined her body, it was not bad for 46, a few extra pounds, a few stretch marks, a few aches and pains but not horrible by any stretch of the imagination.
She took off her bra; her breasts sagged a bit lower than what she was used to and they were all around smaller but once again, it could be worse.
She pursed her lips as she took down her panties. Her ass was a bit larger and she detected some cellulite on the backs of her thighs but as she ran her hand tentatively over herself, she again tried to cheer herself up. “It could be worse…much worse” she thought.
“I’m in the body of my next door neighbor Susan Milowski…maiden name Harris, middle name Ann. I’m 46…born May 10th, 1969…I’m 5’3” and 142 pounds...” she continued to rattle off stats in her head as she put on a fresh pair of panties and a purple nightgown.
She crawled into bed and got under the covers and flipped on Susan’s laptop. She began searching orbs and reading nothing that seemed to relate a story anywhere near hers.
Susan’s cell phone went off and Rebecca saw that it was her number so of course she picked it up. “Hello” she said cautiously.
“Hey…um…I know I said we’d chat tonight but something has come up” Susan said on the other end.
“What’s that?” Rebecca said sitting up.
“Well when I got over here, your phone had like 20 texts from your boyfriend Matt…” Susan said. “He wants to go out tonight”
“You can’t” Rebecca said urgently.
“No I do have to…we can’t let anyone get suspicious. We’re just going to a movie” Susan said.
“But…but…” Rebecca sputtered.
“We’ll talk more tomorrow, I have to get ready…bye”
Rebecca stared at the phone in her hand, dumbfounded. Her neighbor was in her body and going out with her boyfriend and there was nothing she could do about it. “This sucks…” she said.
Susan had gone into Rebecca’s house and headed to her room. Once inside, she had seen her phone and all the waiting texts. She was more than a bit curious with her new situation as she read through them.
Something came over her, an excitement that she hadn’t felt in a while so she started to text Matt back. Susan’s heart fluttered as she flipped through the pictures on the phone and found several that had to be of Rebecca and Matt; he was hot and she had this young body as her own…
Susan took off her workout attire and checked out her body in the mirror “God…I never looked this good…ever” she said as she turned back and forth naked in the mirror taking in her tall, sexy figure. She showered and checked out her body even more while in there.
Her hands groped and ran up and down over her wet, soapy body. Eventually they found their way in and she hadn’t experienced anything that intense in ages. “That feels so good” she moaned.
She got dressed in a light brown skirt and a tan tank top with a pair of brown sandals. She did her hair and makeup and headed out to meet Matt.
Rebecca heard her car fire up next door and she peeked out the window and watched it drive away. Her shoulders slumped and she made her way back to bed.
A light knock on the door drew her attention as it opened gently. “Are you awake honey” Bill asked from the door.
“Yeah” Rebecca replied.
“Can I get you anything?” he asked.
“No, you don’t need to get me anything” she replied.
“Did you take anything?”
“Some Tylenol” she said.
“If you need anything, just let me know” he said from a few feet away.
Rebecca smiled “I will…thanks honey” she said.
Bill smiled and reached down and took a hold of her toes through the blanket and gave them a quick squeeze. He patted her leg as he turned and left.
“He seems nice enough” Rebecca thought.
Rebecca spent the night continuing her search on the internet on the glowing orbs but found nothing that would help her. Eventually she drifted off to sleep.
She was vaguely aware of someone else getting in bed behind her. She felt a warm body curl up and she felt a hand come around her mid-section and hold on gently.
Half asleep, Rebecca smiled and nuzzled her head into the pillow. She ran her right foot up and down the hairy leg that was next to hers.
At that exact moment in the house next door, Susan rode up and down on top of Rebecca’s boyfriend Matt. She was on top and trying to enjoy every possible second and sensation inside this body.
She flung her long brown hair out of her face, feeling the light glistening of sweat that had formed along her forehead and across her bare chest. Her breasts bounced up and down as she worked her hips up and forward. “Oh God…Don’t stop” she moaned.
Thoughts and feelings rushed through her conflicted mind. “This is so wrong” kept popping in only to float away again as she experienced another burst of pleasure. “You’re Susan! You’re married! No you’re Rebecca! You’re twenty! You deserve to get to do this! You shouldn’t be doing this! How did this night get to this! I can’t believe I’m doing this…I’m doing him!”
She was glad to see that he was using a condom and she finally put her hand down and gave the top of her clitoris a quick rub and came to an explosive orgasm.
After a series of body racking spasms, a smile spread slowly across Susan’s face. She lowered herself down and lay against his strong chest, feeling him lift her up slightly with each breath.
“That was so good” she whispered to him.
“Yeah” Matt agreed “You really were into it tonight”
“You have no idea what kind of day I had today” Susan said slyly.
Susan had met Matt at the movies. He kissed her upon seeing her and grabbed her ass. Susan’s heart fluttered in her chest at both gestures. It had been a long time since she had experienced anything like this. She had met Bill in college and had only been with one guy before him. They had been married 26 years now; well it would be officially 26 years next week.
Matt was hotter than Bill had ever been and Rebecca was hotter than Susan had ever been so…she let the night progress. One thing had led to another and since Matt and Rebecca had obviously done this many times before, Susan allowed herself to let her inhibitions go.
Susan woke up the next morning in Rebecca’s bed. She sat up quickly realizing that she was alone. She looked at the clock and saw that it read 9:34. She remembered Matt saying he had to be at work at 7 so he had been gone for some time.
Susan scratched her head as she looked out the window. Down below, she saw her old self and her daughter working in the flower beds. It was something that they did but she was surprised to see Rebecca fulfilling her household chores like clockwork.
Rebecca had woken up feeling refreshed despite what was running through her mind which was “What if I’m stuck like this forever? What if there’s no way we can change back? What if this is my new reality?”
She sat up and saw her ‘husband’ sleeping next to her as she slipped out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. She looked in the mirror and took in her face. It was a bit puffy from just waking up and she had a bad case of bed head; spikes of hair stood straight up. But yet Rebecca forced herself to smile.
As she came back out, Bill was sitting up and rubbing his eyes. Rebecca put on her glasses from the night stand and put a light robe on.
“Are you feeling better this morning?” he asked her.
“Yes I am” she said in a very genuine manner.
“I’m glad to hear that, I don’t like it when you’re sick” Bill said as he got out of bed. “I’m making breakfast for you today…you still need to take it easy”
“Um…okay” Rebecca said. She hadn’t realized how tall Bill was before. He stood a full foot taller than her as he passed by.
Rebecca padded her way downstairs. She made some coffee while Bill cooked. She was sitting at the table when Katie came downstairs followed by Kyle a few minutes later.
“Are you feeling better Mom?” Katie asked. “Dad said you weren’t feeling very good last night”
“Yes, I’m fine…just a headache and a bit of a stomach ache” she said.
“Well if you don’t want to work in the flower beds today, I can do it by myself” Katie said.
“No…I feel fine today really” Rebecca said.
Kyle had also expressed concern over his Mom not feeling good the previous night and Rebecca was impressed by the amount of care and concern that had been expressed.
She got dressed in a pair of denim Capris and an old t-shirt to go work in the flower beds and was enjoying her work chatting away with Katie.
As the week passed, Rebecca and Susan passed texts back and forth and talked on Messenger and even in the yard when they could but neither made any progress in finding anything out about the orbs or had any new ideas on how to switch back.
By the following Saturday, Rebecca had begun to fall into a routine and accept the fact that she would be Susan from now on. She resolved to make the most of it; it wasn’t a bad life at all but it wasn’t what she expected her life to be. She had a loving husband and respectful good kids, even if she should be the same age as them, not their mother.
It was Bill and Susan’s 26th anniversary and a big night had been planned.
Rebecca found a very nice black dress and new black heels in the closet that had been purchased for the occasion.
She went to the salon where she had passed by on her run the week before but this time it was as Susan and she would get her hair and nails touched up for their special night.
Rebecca went with a dark maroon color for her nails as fresh highlights went in her hair. She put on the black dress and heels and put on diamond earrings along with a matching set of gold and silver bracelets and a necklace.
“You look more gorgeous than on the day I married you” Bill said when she came down and he saw her.
Rebecca blushed at the compliment “You’ll always be my handsome man” she replied.
He pulled out a huge bouquet of flowers and presented her with a new diamond and sapphire ring. Rebecca slid it on her finger and was blown away already. Her previous romantic experiences had all been with little boys she now realized. Bill was a man, an adult who knew how to treat a lady with dignity and respect and love.
They had a lovely dinner at the nicest restaurant in town and then had a private box at a show. Rebecca held Bill’s hand throughout and shared several deep kisses with him as well.
She felt a stirring each time they kissed and she thought “I don’t think I’m going back…I might as well enjoy what I have to the fullest”
After the show they returned home to a quiet house. Once inside Bill began to walk further in but Rebecca put her hand on his shoulder to stop him. He turned to face her.
Rebecca had a pouty look on her face and she shook her head slowly back and forth “Oh no no no” she purred as she put her hands on his chest and began to take off his suit jacket “We’re going to have a little fun tonight”
Bill smiled as Rebecca stepped out of her heels and came down to her real height. She came up close to him and looked up into his eyes “I want you so bad tonight”
Bill’s hands came around her back and began to undo her zipper and Rebecca smiled “That’s what I’m talking about” she said as she rose up on her tip toes to kiss him passionately.
Rebecca found that she had never really experienced sex at all before; Bill did things and knew tricks that had her writhing in pleasure and they found themselves laughing and panting in each other’s arms by the end.
“I miss doing that as much as we did back in the early days” Bill said.
“I do too” Rebecca replied “You need to do that more often”
Bill laughed “You need to stay awake for me”
“Maybe I will now” Rebecca teased him.
They lay holding each other and Bill drifted off to sleep but Rebecca was wide awake. She got up and put on her robe and walked downstairs. She went out on their back deck as it was a pleasant evening with a nice warm breeze.
She sat on a deck chair and propped her feet up on the deck railing. As she sat there she heard a car pull in and four doors close. She heard Katie’s voice, Katie’s boyfriend, Matt and her own old voice all talking.
“That was great man” Matt said.
“Yeah, we’ll have to do this again sometime” Katie agreed.
“So, your house looks pretty quiet” Katie’s boyfriend Colton said.
“Yeah, I’m sure my parents are in bed by now” Katie said.
Rebecca peeked around the corner and could see her old self standing next to the car, illuminated by the glow of a street light.
Susan looked along the side of the house but in the shadows and the dark couldn’t see Rebecca out back.
Rebecca watched as Matt came along side of her and wrapped his arm around her neck “We’re going to head in for a little…you know” and all four of them laughed.
“We’ll see you later then” Colton said.
Rebecca could see her old self smiling as they headed inside. She heard Colton’s car start up and her front door open and close as Katie came in.
Rebecca remained out on the deck as she saw the light come on in her old room.
In shadow and in passing she saw Susan taking off her top and Matt’s bare back as well.
The window was open so she knew what she would have to hear if she remained where she was sitting. Rebecca was almost too paralyzed to move though. She couldn’t force herself to get up.
A few moans drifted down to her ears and she thought about what had happened. “Am I happier as Susan…or as Rebecca?” She pursed her lips and thought about the last week. “Is Susan happier now?” she thought “She sure sounds happy right now”
“She’s in the body of a twenty year old again…no cares in the world for her. Everything that I thought of as a big deal is something that she can just blow off. She’s just enjoying the carnal…the physical; things that I took for granted she’s enjoying and the things I was worried about, she’s ignoring”
“And then there’s me as Susan…I think I appreciate her life more than she ever did. She was worried about remaining youthful and vibrant and relevant. She was focused on things that I’m ignoring and I enjoying the things she took for granted: A loving husband and great kids”
Rebecca remained exactly where she was; her feet propped up on the rail, staring at the stars.
She dozed off and only woke when she heard a car staring up in the driveway next door. Matt was leaving so she stole a glance upward to her old window. She could tell by the low light that only the desk lamp was on. A few seconds later, it turned off and the window went dark.
Rebecca looked up directly over her head “What the…I must be seeing things” she said to herself. A few feet above her head, two lights, one red and one blue hovered. “Holy Shit” she said as she stood up.
The orbs rose up a bit higher so that they stayed out of her reach. Rebecca saw movement from each of them as they began to drop lower. They came down to hang right in front of her and she heard a voice inside her head say “Touch the red orb if you wish to change back or touch the blue orb to stay where you are forever…the choice is yours and yours alone”
Rebecca’s jaw hung open at the momentous choice before her and she wasn’t sure of what she really wanted to do “If I stay, I’m exchanging 26 years of my life; I will never have a day in my twenties, thirties or early forties. But yet I know who I am and what I have in life and I know that it’s good if I stay; I’m loved and cherished…but what if I go back. There’s potential to make my life whatever I want; I have something to strive for”
She pulled in her bottom lip and bit down “Why is this my choice…why do I hold Susan’s future in my hands as well? Is she happy as me or does she miss her husband and her kids? The pressure is too much!”
The voice in her head now rang out “Make your choice”
Rebecca's hand stretched out...
