“You’re nuts Helen” I said shaking my head.
“No, you’re just scared that I’m not nuts” she replied back to me putting her hands on her hips.
“There is no way…just no way” I repeated.
“Yes there is; you’re just too damned stubborn to admit it and listen to me!” she said, real intensity in her eyes.
“Even if there was…even if what you’re saying is true…why?” I asked.
Her eyebrows shot up and her eyes widened “Why?” she laughed “Why not?”
“There’s a ton of reasons why not” I said.
“There’s also a ton of reasons why we should! Just the fact that they’re offering 20 million dollars to us to do it should be reason alone! We scrape by paycheck to paycheck and now this comes and you say No?!”
I sighed. The money would set us up for the rest of our lives.
“All your reasons for us to not do this go right out the window! You won’t have to do my job! We don’t have to work after this and if we do, we can do whatever the hell we want!”
I sat down and looked at my wife. She had folded her arms over her chest waiting for me to give in, to acquiesce; to give in to her like I always do.
“Ok” I finally said.
She already had her phone out and sent the call through. I heard her walking down the hall “Yes Dr. Jacobson…we accept!”
My head was swimming and I just heard her talking without hearing the words but she came back and said “We can go over right now and I think we should before you change your mind”
I was numb as I stood up and looked around. I wanted to protest again and say no but I just nodded and fished my keys out.
The next thing I knew I was standing in a sterile room getting my blood drawn. My wife was right next to me getting hers taken out as well. They took the two vials away and told us they’d be back in a minute.
“I hope you’re getting used to the idea” Helen said to me.
I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head looking down “I am” I said.
I looked over and saw her feet swinging above the floor so much higher than my own. I chuckled “I just can’t see it you know…how is it going to work? How will it happen?”
“I don’t know either” she replied with a shrug to match my own “I’m just as curious as you”
“I mean, nothing about this should be possible” I said.
“But it is” she shot back getting defensive again.
“Look: I’m here. I said yes and it’s obviously started and is going to happen so there’s no need to get mad and snippy with me” I said.
“I’m not snippy!” she said crossing her ankles stopping their swing.
My eyes traced up her bare legs. She was wearing shorts and a tank top and her long blonde hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail for the time being. Her bright blue eyes were intense and her guard was up. I stared into those eyes still not comprehending what was about to happen to us.
She tried to smile reassuringly at me “It’s going to be just fine”
Just as I was about to respond, the door opened and Dr. Jacobson came in. A wide smile on his face, he put his hand out to shake. “Mr. and Mrs. Collins so good to see you and so glad you sad yes. I knew I had found my perfect couple when we interviewed you…I just knew it!”
“Well Mr. grumpy here was a bit reluctant but…” my wife said gesturing my way.
“Well I can understand that…a bit of hesitation and caution can be healthy and needed in a situation as new as this but I can assure you that this will work 100% and you won’t be sorry” Dr. Jacobson said. “It is painless and since you are my 3rd couple now I can say that the first 2 went off without a single hitch. You are in for quite a day!”
Yeah, haha…tell me about it” I joked.
My wife hopped off the table and stood up straight; all 5’3” of her. She took her ponytail out and shook her hair out, the natural waves laying on her shoulders.
I got up slower. I slid off the table with a smirk on my face and ran my hand over my beard standing up to my full height of 6’3”.
“Please; follow me”
We walked down a long hallway; each window we passed was full of people and computers, all running at top speed until we reached a room at the end.
“This is where you two will stay” Dr. Jacobson said calmly.
The room was bare but cameras were everywhere. Your shots will be ready in just a few more minutes; we’re still processing everything as you saw but once they’re ready, you will be injected and the process will begin. Now…any last questions?”
I was speechless. I had a million questions but my brain and mouth locked up.
My wife shook her head “I think we know what’s coming and we’re ready for it”
“I hope you don’t get camera shy. We have to record everything; please act naturally and do whatever seems appropriate at the time” Dr. Jacobson added. “There is no pain but there will be different sensations throughout. It would really help if you two could comment and explain what you’re feeling as you go”
I nodded silently.
“Sure! No problem” Helen said in a way too chipper tone.
The door opened. I felt my heart jump as a nurse came in with two syringes filled with a viscous purple fluid. One was marked Helen and the other was marked David.
Dr. Jacobson looked at us and still smiling said, “Are you ready?’
“Ready as I’ll ever be” I replied as my wife simply nodded and said “Yes”
He picked up the syringe with my name on it. I lifted up the sleeve of my t-shirt as the nurse wiped an alcohol pad on my upper arm “I’m feeling a wet coldness on my upper arm and I…”
Dr. Jacobson laughed “Yes…exactly like that…just keep explaining how you’re feeling”
I felt the pinch as the needle went in. I watched as he dispensed the fluid; draining down to an empty cylinder. I thought I saw my wife lick her lips.
He went to her next; her bare arm held slightly out and away from her body. I noticed how thin it really was, how much smaller than my own as he injected the needle and pushed the plunger down.
We both watched the purple fluid go in and my wife gave me a quick wink and smirk as she rubbed the spot.
“I will leave you two now. I won’t be far. I’ll be observing in the next room and if I see anything out of the ordinary, I will come in but if not and I can assure you that this will go smoothly; I will see you when it is finished”
He put his hand out to shake again and as I took it, he said “Good luck”
Once the door closed, I rubbed my upper arm. I wondered what was in the fluid and how fast was it going through me “So…”
“So…” my wife replied.
“How soon do you think…?”
“I have no idea” she said with a smile. There was a hunger in her eyes; an eagerness as her eyes probed me up and down.
I playfully pushed her shoulder “Stop looking at me like that! I’m not just a piece of meat” I laughed.
She laughed too “At least you’re loosening up about this…it’s about damned time!”
I smiled sheepishly and bobbed my head “Yeah…well…I guess I have to be. It’s inevitable now”
“It’s going to be fine. I think it’ll be fun. Fascinating, fabulous even haha!” Helen said as she squeezed my bicep.
“It’s certainly going to be different” I said.
“Yeah I will admit that this might be harder for you than me” she said.
“So now you get it?! Now you see why I was a bit reluctant?!” I said with mock shock and indignation.
She laughed again “You’ll be fine”
I snorted chuckle out.
“I feel warm” she said looking around.
“It’s probably nothing” I said.
“No…I don’t think so” she said “I feel warm on the back of my neck and now it’s on my forehead!” She grabbed her ears and twisted them under her fingers “My ears are warm too!”
She went up to one of the cameras looking for her own reflection “Is this the start of it? Is this how it feels when it starts?”
“I’m sure we’ll know” I said but stopped. My shoulders felt tight.
“What is it?” she asked me.
“I don’t know…I feel all tense all of a sudden” I said to her delight “My shoulders feel tight and I feel…I don’t know…I feel nervous like on edge”
“Well duh” she replied “We’re waiting to change bodies with each other; of course you feel nervous!”
“But this is different. My stomach is fluttering like crazy” I said.
Her smile started small and innocent and then it broadened and she began to giggle in a mischievous tone. “Oh…I think this is it”
I could only nod.
My wife grimaced and furrowed her whole face down for just a second before she had a plain expression on her face and she was blinking rapidly “What is it?” I asked a bit too urgently.
She exhaled “I don’t know” she looked up at me and then around “I just feel…different” she shrugged; a slight look on concern on her face.
She shuddered and then I did. We both froze and looked at the other before laughing again nervously.
“Well whatever it’s going to do I wish it would just start doing it” I said.
With those words, I saw my wife begin to grow.
“What the fuck?!” I said as she began to lift up taller. Her body began to spread out wider as her back broadened.
“David I…! I’M GROWING!” She yelled out.
My eyes scanned her up and down “I see that!” I replied. The skin on her legs seemed to be stretching out as inches came onto her formerly petite frame. Her hips shifted and she stood up shifting backwards.
It was like watching a special effect out of a movie. I reached out and touched her thigh. I yanked my hand back as I felt it move beneath my touch. I laughed and put my hand on her side as her torso elongated. She was rapidly catching up to me in height.
Helen tucked her blonde hair behind her ear demurely looking down at the ground as her feet got further away from her eyes ‘I can’t believe this! I’m freaking huge!”
She looked up and laughed when she realized she was just a few inches shorter than me and catching up quick.
I watched my wife’s face rise up in front of me. She was looking down and around holding her hair back, a look of shock on her face as her mouth hung open. When she looked straight ahead, we were eye to eye.
“Oh my gosh!” she said breathlessly. She reset her feet setting them wider as she looked me up and down “Wow! I’m tall!”
I smiled “Yes…yes you are” I nodded.
“I just grew a whole foot taller in like 30 seconds! That was…that was amazing!” she looked back down to the floor “I’ve never felt anything like that before in my life…that was incredible! It was like I was floating! It didn’t hurt at all! I was like being stretched out and now…” she stuck her leg out pointing her toe “God I’m so big!”
Helen took a step back. Her hands went up to her face and she pressed down all the while still smiling. She put her shoulders back “The room looks so different at this size…everything looks so much smaller. I’m 6 foot 3…I’m a foot taller than I…” she looked at me.
I know I had an odd look on my face. A lump had come into my throat “…was…” she finished saying “Are you…?” she looked me up and down.
I lifted my chin slightly. I had to if I wanted to maintain eye contact with her. I didn’t want to admit it just yet. Something inside me hesitated. I didn’t want to admit it just yet. I knew this would happen to me. To us. But something about becoming shorter than my wife and realizing that it was starting and knowing I was about to shrink down a whole foot shorter.
“You are!” she shouted and rushed back towards me.
Just as she did, I felt my shoulders and back constrict. A few inches went off very suddenly and before I knew it, my chin shot up and I was looking straight up into my wife’s eyes from chin height. “Whoa” I said defensively. I felt my skin and bones coming together and I understood the floating reference “I can feel it. I feel weightless…like it’s out of my control”
I was below my wife’s chin now and still diminishing in size. I looked down at the floor as it came up on me, my body compacting down and in upon itself. My legs and arms looked shorter, my torso was smaller I could tell it just simply was. My waist was closer, everything was closer on me. I was looking into my wife’s chest. I was only up to her armpit really when I felt the feeling pass.
“Holy shit!” I said taking my own step backwards and patting my body down.
There was a look in my wife’s eyes as she put her hand to her mouth. I couldn’t tell if she was suppressing a laugh or a cry looking down on me “You…you’re so small” she said softly “You look so different at that size…how we swapped sizes…”
“We must have swapped weight too” I said checking myself out “I’d be an Oompa Loompa if I still weighed my weight at this height”
“You’re right…I’d be a twig at my own weight. I must have put on pounds as well as inches” my wife said as she poked at her stomach. Her clothes were tight on her even though she had purposely worn loose and baggy clothes to begin with while my clothes were hanging on me, drooping off to the side and threatening to fall off.
“Switch” I said with a nod.
“Switch she agreed with a nod.
My wife took off her top with a bit of difficulty as it was so tight on her. She had to squirm and wiggle to get it off “God your tits look huge!” I said at eye level with them.
“HA!” My wife started laughing hysterically and grabbed them and jiggled them and squished them together and in my face playfully.
“They’re watching us!” I laughed.
She shimmied her hips to get her shorts and panties off “Let ‘em watch all they want”
I laughed as I easily took off my shorts and boxers exposing a raging erection.
“Something doesn’t look that much smaller on you” Helen teased.
“The rest of me looks like a 12 year old boy at this size though”
“Not for long…” Helen said with a wink “I can see some other things that are going to change along with our size”
“Do you now…” I said before I saw my wife begin to look around before looking down. “Are you ok?”
“Um…I feel really weird…you know…down there…” she blushed as she spread her legs out wide and crouching down.
“Does it hurt?” I asked putting a hand reassuringly on her upper arm.
“No…it’s not painful but it’s so weird! I can feel things moving…like being pulled…out…of…” she widened her stance even more “…Oh my God!”
I watched it up close and first hand while her vision was from above “Oh shit Helen” I said as her vaginal lips parted and two testicles emerged.
They squeezed out still growing larger; held suspended up close to her body, then they simply plopped down, descending into a scrotum where hair was coiling out as her skin shifted and folded.
My jaw dropped.
She winced as she took a long exhale followed by two quick breaths. As she did, her clitoris expanded and popped out, forming into the head of a penis. Excess skin formed up and gained mass as it solidified into a shaft.
I could see her tense up and pull back her shoulders as it grew longer and wider and into a fully formed and functional man’s penis. “Oh my God” she said in awe. Her mouth hung open and her hands hovered above it as it twitched and throbbed in full excitement mode.
Finally she wrapped her fingers around it and gave it a squeeze and a tug “Whoa”
“Feels good huh?” I said.
“I never thought I’d have one of these things to play with at my disposal…never in a million freaking years…I’ve got a dick” she said dumbfounded “They did it…I’m a guy…I…um, honey?”
She saw me take a step back grasping my stomach and doubling over. “I’m okay…I just…wow…” I stood back up and whistled “Just took my breath away for a sec”
I put my hands on my hips as a warm tingle pushed through my lower abdomen “Oh I feel it…that’s so weird…Mmmmmmmm” I hummed as I felt my penis and testicles go numb.
I froze and leaned back as my penis began to shrink down smaller and smaller on me. My testicles pulled up and my skin pulled taut squeezing them down a bit just as my skin opened and they pulled up and in.
I could feel movement as they pulled back and stretched out inside me “Oh my God!” I echoed my wife’s words as my penis shrunk down and my skin shifted and folded. The shaft of my penis diminished and dwindled away leaving just a mushroom cap head. That too began to shift and change as skin overlapped it changing it from my penis to my clitoris.
My knees buckled. I felt weak as fundamental shifts occurred throughout my body; none more obvious and evident as my newly formed vaginal muscles contracting.
I placed my hand on my firm and flat mound. My middle finger tracing the line as moisture came forward “Oh shit…”
My wife nodded at me slowly from a few steps away.
I looked around the room, a bit of panic and insecurity in my eyes and my heart as I scanned the empty sterile place.
Now that estrogen was flowing through me and testosterone was more prevalent in her, other changes began to become evident.
My body hair thinned and lightened and began to disappear. First from my legs and arms and chest and then from my cheeks, chin and upper lip. My beard simply faded away to nothing leaving behind clear and smooth skin.
My muscle tone began to change. My arms began to thin, my sides softened and rounded while my thighs thickened.
“You’re really starting to look more and more like me” my wife said looking at me.
I looked at her and stifled a laugh. Thick black hairs were all over her previously smooth and soft legs. Muscles were forming on her thick arms. Her entire body frame was changing to more box like; her curves were melting away. The size and shape of her limbs had changed and were still distorting. Her claves lost their gentle curve in favor of a more jagged edge and her soft thighs tightened. Her hips narrowed and shifted and her ass was deflating before my eyes.
I tried to notice my own changes simultaneously. My legs were soft and rounding off. My thighs popped out further and my claves, already shortened, seemed to hold a gentle and thin curve to them. I had to rest my feet as my hips widened outward, rounding and pulling my legs out widening my ass as it went along for the ride.
“I really am…and you…you look”
“Like a guy” my wife said flexing a bit as she moved about “We’re really switching bodies”
“Everything is changing…I feel so different” I added as I felt my feet twitch and felt them pull against the floor as they began to shrink.
My soles seemed to thicken as my feet shortened up. My heels pulled in just a split second before my whole foot narrowed and smoothed out. My toes shrank down much smaller and took my nails down with them as they rounded off and thinned.
I looked over and noticed my wife’s feet were big and hairy and she was staring down her thick hairy legs at them.
She put her hands out in front of her and watched them as they grew. Her fingers popped out and her knuckles knotted up higher as her palms spread.
We had been told to remove all jewelry and my wife had taken off her nail polish on both her fingers and her toes, which now seemed like a really good idea. She would have broken her wedding ring with the thrust of her hand.
The softness began to creep over my waist and stomach before I felt what I knew had to be coming. I dropped my chin and exhaled through my nose.
“What is…oh…I get it…” my wife said as she lifted and squished her boobs together. They began to tighten and pull back as she did.
Her chest spread out; a few black hairs poked through the skin in her still existent cleavage at the same time her nipples shrank down.
“Ah!” she let out a happy sounding scream as hairs poked out of her areolas and the skin puckered as her breasts diminished down to nothing more than pectoral muscles.
She immediately stretched out her chest, back and shoulders showing off my body to me.
I really did feel small compared to her. She seemed to tower over me, able to engulf me if she wanted to now. I was in a position and a body I wasn’t used to; a true role reversal for someone who had always been one of the biggest in a group. Never again.
My shoulders rolled inward, my skinny arms quivered a bit, shaking as my chest and back muscles realigned. “Oh!” I surprised myself with my little shout as small cone like breasts popped out on my chest. They quickly began to swell and grow larger, rounding as they went. Gravity took hold and pulled them down as they got big enough to create the weight needed to do so.
My small hands went up to them and lifted them, feeling the slight difference in skin tone on the underside of my breasts.
My hands were shrinking as my breasts grew giving off a very odd sensation. My fingers thinned, my nails grew out and my hands as they slimmed down soft and small.
“Oooo” I cooed as my breasts settled on me and my wife laughed at me.
As she did, her laugh deepened. The pitch and sound started high and then sank in octave and pitch lower and lower. I turned and stared at her in awe.
“Oh” she said in a deep voice, her hand going to her throat. “oOOOhhHHHH!” she played around with it “My voice…is that what I sound like?” she said looking around as if for a crowd to confirm it before looking at me “So if I sound like this then you must…” she raised her eyebrows.
“Ummm” I said already telling that the tone had changed “What!” I immediately stopped; pursed my lips tight, opened my eyes wide and hummed through my lips “Oh my God I sound like you!” I shouted a bit too loud.
“This is too much” she said shaking her head “Size, body, gender and um, everything that goes with it, voice…Mmm-Hmm”
I shrugged my narrow shoulders feeling how they moved and noticing how light I felt “Almost there”
“We need to get there” my wife said as the hair on her face, which had popped out earlier began to thicken and sculpt into form. Hairs had poked through but they were scraggly and patchy; now they began to thicken and fill in as her jaw squared and her chin shifted.
I patted my smooth cheeks as they puffed out. My jaw and chin both pulled back and in slimming down and making my face more heart shaped.
My lips tingled as they changed into my wife’s lips. They puffed up as my teeth shrank down much smaller. The shifting in my gum line tickled like crazy as even my tongue shrank down.
My nose followed everything else in getting smaller as it turned into my wife’s small pert button nose.
As my ears burned and my eyes watered. I could see my wife’s lips thin underneath her facial hair and she snarled as her teeth grew out wide. Her nose grew larger as her blue eyes darkened to brown.
I couldn’t see her ears yet as they were still concealed by hair but I knew they had to be larger as well.
She blinked as her eyelashes thinned and her eyebrows thickened over a stronger brow line and forehead.
Subtle changes occurred in my sense of sight as my eyes changed into my wife’s bright blue ones. Little things like how I perceived the color of our clothes in the pile on the floor changed as well as details about the body I thought I knew so well.
My forehead smoothed and shrank down as did my eyebrows as my eye lashes grew longer around my big blue eyes.
I felt the waves of hair begin to fall and cascade down. First across my neck and cheeks and ears and finally onto my shoulders and back. My dark brown hair lightened as it grew into the blonde locks that would now be mine.
My wife scratched her itchy scalp as her long blonde hair pulled up and in, tightening into short thick brown hair in my style.
I blinked and swallowed “Honey?”
He nodded “Yes Dear” he replied with a chuckle.
“We did it” I said softly “Is it over?”
He nodded “Yeah…we did…it’s over. I’m you and you’re me”
I jumped into my husband’s arms.
He caught me easily and lifted me even higher as he swung me around in a full embrace.
The lights in the room changed and we realized the cameras were turning off.
I grabbed the small panties, shorts and tank top my wife had worn in. They were my clothes now and I slipped them on easily as she got dressed in my old clothes.
The door opened and Dr. Jacobson walked in, a triumphant smile on his face. He hugged us both “Success! How do you feel?!”
“Amazing” I replied.
“This is…wow” my husband said.
“This is perfect…if you don’t mind…I want you two to get a full exam and then speak in detail about if for further documentation”
“Of course” I said “I’d be happy to”
My husband nodded “As long as the check clears, we can talk all day”
I took his hand and he squeezed it. We locked eyes and I rose up on my tip toes as he leaned down and we kissed before we walked out into our new lives.
