With that, both of them shivered and the overall electric feeling in the room dissipated, giving an almost audible wind down to their transformations.
Lori shook her head, clearing it as she picked up new feelings rushing into her body now. “I... I’m YOU!”
Jack could only nod “It’s over. Whatever it was...it’s over. I’m sure of it...I can feel it” he flexed out his small hands and turned them over in front of him before bringing them back to his chest. His jaw dropped “It really happened...I’m you”
Lori’s hands frantically moved around her male body. “No...no...this just can’t happen”
“Oh but it did” Jack said solely beginning to walk around in a large circle in the room “It absolutely did” he added speaking slowly.
“But...” Lori was trying to keep calm; she tried to remind herself that this was obviously something that Jack wanted, telling herself that this made him happy but thoughts about her own self had to be said. “Look, I know you wanted this and everything and maybe we can do this for a little while since it makes you happy but we can’t stay like this forever...we have to try to see why this happened. How this happened? And see if we can reverse it. You and I...we shouldn’t be reversed like this permanently you know...it’s not right. I can’t”
“It’s okay. Just relax a minute. This is a huge development and change for you; for both of us. You need to relax and calm down though first” Jack said speaking calmly “Everything is all mixed up inside both of us, don’t worry first of all. We will figure this out. We will”
Lori nodded and tried to slow down “Sure...don’t worry that I’m now my own son and that my son is currently in my body”
“Well when you say it like that, it’s going to sound weird” Jack said “Here...take a seat and I’ll get you a glass of water okay”
Lori did sit down as Jack went to the kitchen and came back with a cold bottle of water from the fridge. Lori noticed the painted nails as she took the bottle “Why did my nail polish switch?”
“What?” Jack said.
“Even if our bodies swapped, shouldn’t I still have painted nails? It’s not the essential part of our bodies”
“Well it’s like when your body kicked out your earrings...whatever did this chose little details as well”
Lori ran her tongue over her teeth hitting a foreign object. Jack had a bar across his bottom teeth still from his braces. Lori’s tongue now scrapped across that bar “How deep did this go?” she said wanting to stand back up and pace.
Jack walked. He felt the carpet underneath his bare feet. He felt the way his hips moved, the way his thighs brushed together, the way his arms brushed his breasts and he loved it.
Lori got up and went into the bathroom. She closed the door behind her. She thought she might lose it and break down and if she was going to cry hysterically, she wanted to do it by herself.
Lori stopped in front if the mirror and she gripped the sides of the sink tightly as she shook “Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god...this can’t be. This can’t be real. This did not just happen. I can’t...” she began to cry and sob all the while staring at her son’s face as she did.
After about 10 minutes, she jumped hearing a knock on the door “Are you okay in there?”
A quiet pause as neither said a word.
“Whenever you’re okay and ready, come out and we’ll talk but you take as much time as you need alright”
Lori heard the words and the soft way they were delivered and she did begin to calm down. It took another 20 minutes to dry up and control her breathing and calm down enough to come out.
She opened the door and went to the living room but it was empty. She heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
Lori jumped seeing herself come off the stairs and turn towards her. Jack had changed clothes and was now wearing comfy green and black lounge pants and a heather gray Henley style top. “Sorry I got cold and wanted to put on something a bit more practical”
“Oh yeah...of course” Lori replied. What caught her eye was how well he filled out the outfit. The pants stretched over his full thighs and his ass formed the perfect bubble. The sleeves of the shirt came down a bit long, just covering the bottom of his palms.
It threw Lori off just how natural he looked, how comfortable he seemed, how at ease he was. Especially compared to her.
Lori made her way to the couch and sat down. Jack followed and curled up next to her. Lori sat with her legs apart still just shaking her head while Jack tucked his legs up underneath him and leaned on the back getting closer to her. She rubbed his close cut hair “It’ll be alright”
“How? Tomorrow is Friday which means you have to go to work as me!” Lori said.
“I’ll do it. I know I can do it Mom, you just have to trust me and you just have to go sit in a couple of lectures tomorrow for me so that’ll be no problem. My life is simple and you’ve been doing your job my whole life; I’ve listened to you talk about it every day...trust me...I can do this!” he said earnestly.
Lori sighed “Okay but you have to promise me that if something starts getting out of hand you will fake sick and leave”
“Promise” Jack said perking up again, bouncing on the sofa.
Lori wrote down her passwords, stopping after the first few letters “My handwriting is different!”
“Yeah...it’s mine. That must come with the body” Jack said. He took the pen and paper and wrote in his Mom’s flowing loopy style naturally “Makes sense...If I sign something, it needs to match your signature”
“True...just...it’s just one more thing that you have and I don’t” Lori said only to get a big hug from her former body. She had to admit that the hug felt good.
They talked and Lori showed Jack pictures of people at work from their Social Media. He had met most of them before, heard all about them; he was excited. It was nearly Midnight when they decided to try to go to sleep.
Lori had to use the bathroom. She had been putting it off and holding it for an hour. She had to use the bathroom at the end of the hall, Jack’s bathroom. He had gone into her bedroom with its master bath and closed the door already.
She stood over the toilet not knowing what to do until she finally relaxed “Whoa!” she said having to hold on to aim and steady herself “Oh this feels soooooooooooooo different”
She shook when she finished and stripped down to just her boxers, tossing the dirty clothes down the chute, and headed to the sink. She picked up her son’s toothbrush and had to pause again. “His mouth, his toothbrush but still” she thought.
She made her way to his room. She saw the crack of light underneath her own door but she went into Jack’s room and made her way to bed. Sleep was impossible to find. She tossed and turned. She would get up and recheck the mirror in his room. She finally brought herself to examine her body closely.
She knew this face, this body, but not like this; never like this. She had birthed this body; he had grown inside of her; now, she was him. She thought back to all the memories of watching her son grow up “How did I end up as him?” was all she could keep asking “And him as me”
Jack had closed the door and tip toed across the room to the mirror. It took everything he had to squeal in glee. He danced, he smiled, he checked himself out in both the dresser mirror, the full size mirror on the back of the door and the bathroom mirror.
He sat down on the toilet to pee. He shivered at the release and again as he wiped. He brushed his teeth just beaming the entire time.
He tried on several outfits, just reveling in the feeling of them on his soft skin, how much better they fit and looked now that he was Lori. “I’m finally where I’ve always wanted to be! I’m finally who I think I’m supposed to be! Whatever or whoever did this; THANK YOU!”
Sleep was almost impossible for him too but finally he dozed off around 3 only to be woken by her 6 o’clock alarm.
Sitting upright in bed and gasping, Jack felt movement from his body like never before. More hair around his face, movement and bounce coming from his chest, a tighter feel of sleeves on his muscular upper arms, tighter fabric stretching over his thighs.
His hands went to his face were he felt smooth skin, no stubble at all. He gasped again looking at his hands and seeing how small they were and his white and black polish still there “I’m still her! It’s real! I didn’t change back!”
Jack flopped back smiling and squirming with happiness drumming his small feet on the bed.
He got undressed and started the shower. It felt so good.
He dried off and brushed his teeth, put on a light amount of makeup and brushed out his hair looking every bit Lori on a work day.
As for his outfit, he knew exactly what he wanted to wear. A black bra went on along with nude panties, a long sleeved black top, a short tan skirt which stopped above the knee and finally, black boots that came up to just below the knee.
He grabbed his purse and headed out into the hall.
Jack tiptoed to his old room and opened the door as slowly and softly as possible. He smiled seeing the sleeping figure on the bed. She didn’t have class until 10 today so she could sleep in. A new feeling passed over him, warming him, a previously completely unknown feeling that would have been impossible for him to feel: Maternal love.
Jack was confused at the swelling of love and affection that came up in him. He liked the feeling, but he had never experienced anything quite like it before that moment.
He made his way downstairs. These boots had never fit him so well. He loved how his legs felt; bare and brushing against each other and the soft fabric of the skirt.
He made some coffee in her travel mug and slipped out to the garage, taking her car to work.
“Hey Angie!” Jack called out as he walked in the door and headed for his desk.
“Good morning Lori” Angie replied. “You seem chipper this morning”
“It’s Friday haha...why shouldn’t I be?” Jack replied taking his seat, making sure to keep his knees together like a lady. He had memorized her passwords and easily signed in. Her agenda was right there. Spreadsheets were clearly labeled; her inbox was too. Jack began to work. No one suspected a thing.
A phone going off woke Lori who was tangled up in sheets and felt a cool breeze on her bare chest. Blinking open her eyes, she saw her son’s room and she sat up. “I’m still him! I’m still in Jack’s body. Falling asleep didn’t change us back. My next hope is tonight after 24 hours...” she thought as she untangled herself from the sheets and stood up.
Her dick was rock hard and throbbing again “That is annoying” she stated making her way to the bathroom. She had to turn on the shower and listen to the water run for it to go down enough to pee.
Her thoughts turned to class and what she had to do coming up in the next few hours. Jack wasn’t working today but if they stayed like this into tomorrow, she would have to take his shift at Subway “Please let it only be a day...he can get in his kicks but nothing serious...then we can just switch back” she thought.
She showered quickly and got redressed just as fast. Lori checked out her closet and saw what outfit he had chosen for the day “I should have guessed” she chuckled.
She grabbed his school backpack and went to his car and drove to campus.
Her day was quiet. 3 lectures basically where she paid attention, for the most part. Her mind drifted off a few times and she checked her phone more often than usual. She told herself it was just in case Jack was texting her but he was quiet too.
She attended all his classes and drove home, somewhat relieved that nothing crazy had happened.
It was another hour before he got off of work so Lori went to her room. She looked around when she stepped in, almost feeling like she was intruding “Why do I feel guilty being in here?” she questioned, shaking it off.
“I wonder if we need to put our own clothes back on to make us swap back?” she thought as she ran her hand over a soft, gray sweater hanging in her closet.
She looked around but headed out without putting anything on. She went downstairs, played on his phone, and waited.
Jack had tried to not look at the clock. He had just worked and gotten lost in the day. It was exciting to him. He knew it was routine for his Mom after so many years but for him, it was entirely new and fascinating.
He turned in everything on time; all the numbers matched up. He held several conversations with clients over email and the phone. Everyone from those clients, to her co-workers and her boss had no idea: Jack had performed flawlessly as Lori. His confidence grew exponentially throughout the day.
“I could totally do this for the rest of my life” he thought “I can handle her job! That was the part I was worried that I couldn’t do...but I did it!” he thought as he watched the clock get closer to 4.
He signed off and kicked back from the desk putting his feet up and out and putting his legs straight. He left with a huge smile on his face. He drove home smiling, laughing, singing and dancing to the music.
Lori perked up hearing her car pull in. She stayed on the couch listening to the door open and was waiting as Jack came in.
Lori’s jaw dropped; he looked exactly like her down to the hair and make-up “Jack! You look amazing! How did it go today?”
Jack blushed and did a little curtsey “Well” he tried to look disappointed but he couldn’t do it and he cracked a smile that just went as wide as it could go before he bounced up and down in delight “It went Awesome!”
“Wow!”
“Nobody had any idea! I turned in all your sheets...no errors! I talked with clients on the phone and I finished up all your emails along with took care of the new ones that came in. I went to lunch with Angie; we talked off and on all day, no idea I wasn’t you! It all went perfect!”
Lori had stood up while Jack was talking. She came over a hugged him tightly. It was slightly off-putting having her breasts poke back at her but she embraced him even tighter “I’m proud of you” she told him. “You are capable of doing anything in this world...obviously up to and including physically swapping our bodies...but I’m joking. Today, you proved you can do absolutely anything. A Mom knows her job is done when she can say that”
“You did a great job raising me Mom” Jack said tearing up. He already felt the dampness of her tears on his shoulder.
“So in true Freaky Friday fashion; we both learned a lesson today” Lori said holding on for a moment longer before breaking it off and stepping back.
“Yes, we did. I had the best day today” Jack added. “I actually got to walk a day in your shoes. But not just your shoes; I had your feet, your legs...everything!”
Both of them expected to start changing back. They both looked each other up and down as an awkward silence fell between them.
Lori chuckled “Sorry...I just thought that, you know, we would...” she motioned her hands and arms back and forth “Like, it’s time that we swap back” she added with a nervous smile.
“Yeah. I mean, in a movie this would absolutely be the part where we swap back” Jack said adding in his own nervous laughter.
“Do we have to say something; like make a wish?” Lori asked.
“I don’t know...”
“Yesterday, right before we swapped, I was thinking that I wished that I could help you. I never thought about it beyond the quick Freaky Friday thought” Lori said.
“I fully admit that yesterday I wished I was you, then, I kind of blacked out for a minute” Jack said.
“Me too! I remember hearing my own heartbeat pounding then I heard my voice in my head say “I’m Jack. Then my own voice say “I’m Mom” and then our voices combined and said...”
“I’m You and You’re Me” Jack finished for her and their jaws dropped again.
“You heard it too?!” Lori said.
Jack just nodded.
“What does that mean?” Lori asked but a rising panic in her stomach that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up told her the meaning deep down.
“You wanted to help me and I wanted to be you...those both came true” Jack said before looking his Mom directly in the eyes “I don’t think we’re going to switch back”
