“Well the guest room is all setup for when Aunt Cathy gets here” Emily Lewis told her husband Jim.
“What is that lotion she uses? I mean, even after I wash the sheets after she leaves, I can still smell it” Jim mentioned with a laugh.
“Rose water, Patchouli and marijuana if I had to guess Haha” Emily replied “Aunt Cathy has always been my hippie rebel Aunt; the cool Aunt...that’s why I love her so much”
“She can be fun but she’s also a bit much”
“Ya think?” Emily elbowed Jim “I know, I know but she’s my favorite...always has been, always will be. Mom is so stuffy sometimes. When I was little I knew I could get to her by going through her Big sister and get Aunt Cathy on my side”
“And you only get to see her a few times a year since she is the epitome of Florida life” Jim added.
“She’s 62 and has lived down there the last 20 years...you know with winter coming up I envy her for being down there. Sandals and tanning year round...”
“And she has the feet and skin to show it Haha” Jim said playfully.
“Whatever...the wardrobe: I wish I could pull off a hat like she does!” Emily smiled “The loose dresses and skirts and yes, that impressive sandal collection that seems to come in every color of the rainbow”
“Well your Mom and Dad should be here with her any time now”
“I know...I can’t wait and neither can the kids” Emily added.
It wasn’t long before they heard the car pulling in and everyone headed out to the driveway and front lawn.
All Jim heard was high pitched squealing; it seemed like from everyone. His wife, his Mother in law, his 2 daughters, and Aunt Cathy. Hugs were had as he gathered up the luggage and brought it in to the guest room.
He kept himself occupied as the talk swirled around him from all directions as they caught up. Emily talked and face timed with her Aunt often so the fact they had so much to say was surprising to him.
But it was also evening and as such, it was time for the girls to go to bed. Jim took them for baths and story time. Susan, Emily’s Mom, also took this as her cue to leave.
“You two stay up and talk all you like” Jim said popping back in briefly after getting to kids to sleep. “I’m heading to bed”
“Good night honey” Emily said as they kissed.
“Good night Jim...sweet dreams” Cathy said taking a sip from her drink.
“So now that it’s just us...we can actually talk” Cathy said kicking back a bit further in her chair “How are you really doing honey? You look tired”
Emily blinked, smiled and gave her Aunt a knowing face “Truth is, I am tired. I’m burned out so bad right now, you have no idea”
“Honestly, I probably don’t. Work and family can be a huge load to bear. It takes a lot to be like you. I never did the family thing...” Cathy had never married, never had any kids “I sometimes wonder what it would have been like, so I admire you for doing it”
“And I admire you for not” Emily admitted bluntly. “I love my kids to death but I was reluctant. Jim wanted the family more than I did. I’m glad I’m where I’m at, but I also could have taken your route”
Cathy looked off and said “What if...” softly.
“Exactly...what if we had both taken to opposite road” Emily replied while nodding softly.
“Well it seems like with your looks, it would be harder to stay single honey Haha!” Cathy teased.
“Oh come on Aunt Cathy, I’m sure you had plenty of opportunities! You still get guys Haha”
“But I never looked like you honey!” Cathy said “We’re quite the opposites for being related”
“Oh we definitely have the same mouth and teeth” Emily replied.
“But you don’t have my huge nose!” Cathy replied
“And our eyes are the same color...” Emily added.
“And I’ve got curly hair and you’ve got straight. I’m also so much bigger than you! Taller heavier...”
“But your boobs are so much...” Emily started
“Saggier!” Cathy shot back
“I was going to say nicer!” Emily said with a shocked look on her face.
“Until you’ve had these hips and this ass” Cathy slapped her left hip “I don’t want to hear it from a little thing like you. That pale clear, smooth skin and so tiny!”
They both laughed. Cathy leaned forward after they had quieted down “Would you want to switch places?”
“What?” Emily said furrowing her brow in confusion.
“Yeah, well, I wasn’t going to bring it up but after what we were just talking about, I know a way that we could both see what it’s like on the other side”
“That’s impossible Aunt Cathy and even if it was; well I don’t know...I mean, my family, my job, my...”
“Everything would be fine. You’ll see if we do it...things swap both physically and mentally. It works out” Cathy said “It’s actually very easy”
Emily was shaken “I think I just want some water” she said getting up.
“Bring me back a bottle too if you would” Cathy said sitting back.
Emily got up and walked to her kitchen. Her hands were shaking. “What is she talking about? What am I thinking about?” she grabbed two bottles of water and returned but Cathy had walked off.
Emily could hear her down the hall in the guest room. She came walking back in with a small baggie in her hand.
“Oh come on, we’re not smoking tonight!” Emily said looking around.
“It’s not for smoking silly girl” Cathy waved her hand “And it’s not that anyway. It is some herbs though but for a different purpose”
“What’s that?”
“Switching our bodies” Cathy said bluntly.
“I...” Emily was dumbfounded. “I don’t know about that. How can you be so casual about it? It sounds nuts to me”
“I’m casual about it because I know it works, it’s harmless, and it can be reversed just as easily and whenever you want to reverse it” Cathy said calmly with a smile “Come on...for your favorite Aunt”
Emily sat down. She blinked as her mind raced. A slight flutter started in her stomach “I can’t believe I’m saying this...why am I saying this?” she looked up to see her Aunt’s big, wide face smiling down at her in anticipation. “Okay...let’s switch bodies Aunt Cathy”
Cathy clapped, smiled and laughed all at once “Oh my gosh Em, you’ve made this old lady so fricking happy!” She grabbed her niece by the wrist and pulled her up.
Emily brushed her long, straight brown hair back behind her ears. Now she really looked at her Aunt with a realization that what she was looking at could actually become her body.
Cathy was 5’9” and probably weighed close to 200 whereas Emily was 5’5” and 130. She was also 33 years old compared to her Aunt’s 62. The differences were mind boggling.
Cathy opened up both bottles of water and poured half the mixture from her baggie into both. She shook them up and handed one to Emily “After we drink this, it’ll start to relax us. I’ll walk us through the rest of it; you just need to relax and go with it okay?”
Emily nodded “Oh...okay”
“Come on...sit on the floor with me. Get down here and sit cross-legged right across from me” Cathy was struggling to get down on the ground and get into position. She hiked up her multicolored skirt enough that as she crossed her ankles, Emily got a good look at her neon pink toes.
Emily easily folded herself down and scooted up close. She was barefoot with white toenail polish, wearing a pair of black leggings and a yellow scoop neck top.
Cathy flipped her long curly hair back causing her big, dangly hoop earrings to jingle. Her hair was dyed a brownish auburn color to cover the grays and she wore a loose brown top that showed plenty of cleavage along with the floor length multicolored striped skirt and a pair of brown sandals.
“Closer” Cathy said as they both scooted forward until their knees touched. Their toes touched and Cathy took up their bottles of water “Down the hatch” she said as they both drank them down.
Once finished, Cathy took Emily hands in her own. She noticed the lilac colored fingernails and smooth skin and she got goosebumps
“Okay...just breathe in nice and deep; hold it for a few seconds and let it out” Cathy said in a soft almost sing song tone.
After a few minutes of just breathing in and out, their bodies were beginning to sync up. Their heartrates matched along with their breathing. Emily was relaxing.
“Think about your hands Emily” Cathy said softly. “What do your hands look like? What should your hands look like?”
Emily paused and let a picture rise up in her mind’s eye. “My...my hands are...”
“Just describe them for me” Cathy urged her on.
“My fingers are long; bony” As she spoke, her fingers began to change shape. “My fingernails are plain” The lilac coloring on them faded “But they’re long and thick and strong” And her fingernails changed as she spoke “my hands show my age. Yes, I’ve got some veins and bumps and marks from the sun” Emily’s voice slowed down and her eyes fluttered.
“Now what about my hands Emily; what do my hands look like, the hands you’re holding?” Cathy asked.
“You have pretty hands; small hands. You’ve got curved fingers and shorter nails than me but you also paint them; they’re a pretty lilac color right now and your skin is so smooth and pale; flawless really”
Cathy’s hands changed into Emily’s as Emily described them.
Emily lost her concentration as Cathy squeezed her hands a bit too tightly. Her eyes fluttered open and she pulled her hands away from her Aunt’s hands.
Cathy now opened her eyes to see Emily staring wide eyed at her splayed out hands “What?!”
“Calm down Emily...everything is okay...it’s all part of the...”
“What did you do?! Look at my hands! My...they’re! They’re old! They’re...My hands look like your hands! I...” Emily was starting to panic.
Cathy brought her own small, smooth hands up and took Emily’s in her own. She held them tight and looked Emily in the eye “Breathe Emily. Breathe in and out; slowly...calm down...calm back down. Everything is alright, just breathe”
It took Cathy several more minutes before she felt that Emily was back into her calm trance again. She lowered their hands down to their laps and let the silence settle again before saying “Emily. How tall are you?”
“I’m 5’9” Emily answered.
“That’s right you are” Cathy replied.
Emily began to rise up higher. Her legs pressed forward against Cathy’s legs. The bottom cuffs of her leggings rose up away from her ankles by a few inches. Where her head had been lower than Cathy’s before, now they were dead even.
But only momentarily.
“And am I taller; or shorter, than you are Emily?” Cathy asked.
“You’re shorter. By several inches; I think you’re only about 5’5” ...5’6” maybe?” Emily answered and Cathy began to shrink.
“I’m 5’5” You were right the first time” Cathy answered as her body lowered down shorter. Her blouse shoulders bunched up as she lost height but the sides pinched as her body redistributed her weight.
“Now I want you to think about your body. Think about how your arms look. Think about your shoulders. Your back. Your sides. Your stomach. Think about how you look Emily and then think about how I look”
Emily’s mind pulled up the images. Under her sleeves, her arms filled out and the lower parts sagged down and became loose. Her shoulders and back rose up wider pressing the top out even further as rolls came to her sides. She pictured the body of the voice talking to her and Cathy’s body slimmed down. Trimming off fat and age as muscles and skin toned up with youth.
Emily’s skin began to age “Now picture those pride and joys on your chest Emily. You’ve always been proud of your chest. Stick it out like you mean it.
Emily rolled her shoulders back and pushed out her chest as her breasts began to double in size. From her usual 34B to a 40E they grew. Different sensitivities rushed forward and Emily giggled as the skin loosened and slackened.
Across her back, the clasps of Emily’s bra popped one by one. Her straps had been digging into her back and shoulders. She allowed herself a huge deep breath as her bra popped open.
“And how I envy those of yours...could you even imagine having small breasts like mine?” Cathy asked as her breasts shrank down to the sound of Emily giggling again.
Cathy felt her breasts rise up and come away from the fabric of her bra. They rose up high, tight and perky making her bra useless inside her now very large and baggy top.
With another breath, Emily’s stomach grew out and her top slid upward exposing tan yet flabby skin and flesh.
Cathy felt her stomach flatten down to nothing.
“Now let’s go to the bottom and work our way back up from there Emily. Think about your feet. Think about my feet. Think about how different they are from each other “What color nail polish do you usually wear?”
“I love bright colors. My toes are a neon pink right now. The nails are a bit long; I need to trim them but when you always wear sandals like I do, well, sometimes the time gets away from me”
“What else is different about them?” Cathy asked as she felt Emily’s toes up against her own. Emily’s nails grew and thickened as her toes began to grow long and bony like her fingers.
“Your feet are so pale and soft. Mine are harder, rougher, so many years in the sun and sand” as she spoke the changes into existence.
“And our legs?” Cathy asked simply.
“You’re so skinny and tiny” Cathy’s legs began to slim down and shrink underneath her skirt “Whereas I have big legs and don’t get me started on my hips and ass! God! They’re huge!” she laughed as her black leggings began to stretch. The fabric stretched so thin along her inner thighs, it nearly tore but went opaque instead. Her knees puffed up, her calves thickened and her hips began to spread.
Sitting cross legged the waistband dipped as her ass cheeks blew up in size pushing them down even farther alongside her expanding hips.
“And am I built like you Emily?” Cathy asked.
“No” she shook her head violently “You’re not built like me at all. I’d love to have your narrow hips and tight little ass”
Cathy laughed softly “Thank you” she said as her hips diminished and her ass shrank down building up muscle into a pert ball.
Cathy could feel her skirt give way around her as she dropped down a bit closer to the ground as well.
“We’re almost done Emily but there’s still some important stuff left...let’s talk about our hair. What does your hair look like?”
“Mine’s crazy curly all over the place but yours is straight and professional; so Mom like” Emily said as her hair grew out in waves and curls.
“Do you have pierced ears?” Cathy asked.
“Yes but you don’t” Emily replied and as Cathy’s holes closed up, her earrings pushed out and dropped into her lap.
“What. About. Our.” She paused really building it up “Noses”
“My nose is so big. It’s honestly something I’ve always been self-conscious of”
Emily’s nose began to grow larger, changing the whole look of her face as Cathy’s shrank down much smaller.
“You said our mouths and teeth were similar...”
“Except my lips are thinner since I’m older” Emily said and the changes occurred to their mouths. “And I have the lines around my eyes too” more changes occurred.
“Now just a few more questions; you’re doing so good Emily” Cathy said “How old are you?”
“I’m 62” Emily said without hesitation.
Small changes began to overtake her whole body to even out the process.
“And how much do you weigh?”
“I’m embarrassed to say but...196 pounds” More changes occurred and Emily was truly turning into Cathy from head to toe.
“And how old am I?” Cathy asked.
“You’re 33” she said quickly.
“And how much do I weigh?”
“Oh I have no idea honey” Emily said as her voice aged and deepened.
“Think hard...we’re almost done” Cathy said.
“132”
“Thank You”
Cathy continued to shrink down smaller and younger as she truly changed in Emily. She shivered and twitched and knew it was complete.
“Now Emily. I’m going to have you take in a deep breath and hold it and when I tell you, you need to let it out slowly. When you get to the end; open your eyes”
Emily did as she was told and when she felt her lungs run out. She blinked and opened her eyes to a whole different world.
Cathy took in her breath and let herself open her eyes coming out still feeling air hit her forearm from Emily’s pursed lips. The shock of seeing herself in front of her took everything in her to sit still another few seconds.
Emily blinked trying to comprehend what had just happened. It felt like a dream but she couldn’t understand why she was sitting in front of a mirror. “Wait a sec! I’m not looking in a mirror! I’m looking at me! I’m holding my hands! I can feel pressure and touch! It worked” raced through her mind.
“Oh. My. God! Aunt Cathy?!?! Is that really you?!” Emily said in a scratchy deep voice.
Cathy nodded and smiled. She broke hand contact and put hers up “Told you it would work” she said softly in a smooth purr.
“But you look! You look just like me!” Emily said.
“Right now; I am you” Cathy replied “And you’re me...Cathy”
Emily looked down in shock “Ah! My clothes! They’re so small and tight on me!”
“Well they should be. You’re a bigger girl now” Cathy replied flapping her loose sleeves.
“I’m you! I’m physically...I’m 62!” she looked at her hands again. Saw her feet, how big and old they looked. She could see her thighs through the stretched out leggings. Her belly hung out and her breasts bulged forward but her hands went to her face and began to feel; especially around her nose.
“Oh yeah...it’s all there. All of it” Cathy said as she easily bounced up off the ground. Her skirt slipped and she wiggled to let it fall exposing her niece’s pale but shapely legs clad only in a pair of loose and baggy panties and a blouse that hung down. As she stepped free, her small feet were still strapped into the brown sandals that now were two sizes too large.
Cathy wiggled her toes, far away from the impressions she had originally worn into them “Huh” she laughed “I got up like nothing” she mumbled as her earrings skittered away having fallen again.
Emily was stunned and still sitting. She looked at the legs in front of her, never having seen them from that angle before; from outside of her own body. She looked up at the young face smiling down at her; beaming in happiness at her. Her own face; her old face, the face she no longer had.
“How did you...?” Emily asked.
“We...we did this. Together” Cathy said as she put out a hand for Emily to help her get up.
Emily had to move several times and with much determination just to get to a position to be able to stand up off the floor. Even then, it took all her strength and considerable effort from Cathy to get her up.
Once moving upward, Emily’s pants moved downward, rolling down over her heavy thighs so she just kept them going, rolling them off and peeling them from her legs and over her bare feet by propping up against the wall. She grabbed the discarded skirt and at once was astonished by the size of it, how round and big the waistband was and yet knowing it would fit her; she stepped into it to cover up her big ass and now totally nude front.
“Help me get this shirt off too please” she lifted her arms up and Cathy peeled it off of her.
Emily’s now huge tits flopped forward and swayed as Cathy easily slipped out of her blouse and handed it over. Emily slipped it on for some coverage but the bra had been tossed aside as Cathy moved about looking down the hall to the bathroom and its mirror.
“God you look small” Emily said now realizing how different everything looked to her at her new size. The room looked smaller as did the furniture but mostly it was the fact that her previously larger Aunt was now much smaller than her. 
“Thanks!” Cathy replied excitedly as she bounded a quick jump over a foot stool and quickly scampered down the hall to the bathroom.
Emily heard a muffled sound of exaltation. Like she wanted to scream but clamped a hand over it.
There was no way she was jumping over the footstool, “not with these knees” she immediately thought but she still bumped into it which threw off her center of gravity and her hip swung out and bumped against the wall.
Aches and pains began to settle into her older body with the first step. Her back, knees, feet, hands and hip all hurt. Nothing felt right to her, everything about this body she now had felt off.
She made her way to the bathroom and Cathy jumped to the side to let her in and shut the door behind her. The bathroom wasn’t large and now it felt packed with the two of them in there.
Emily swung towards the mirror and nearly screamed and fainted at the same time.
The mirror was reversed to her. She was on the right and not in front of herself. She knew both reflections very well but the one moving with her wasn’t the one she was used to. “I cannot believe this is real” she said as Cathy nodded next to her.
“Oh it’s real. Flesh and blood; we’re each other”
“Just from that little drink”
“Yep. I am now Emily and you are Cathy. At least to everyone else but us” Cathy replied.
“We have to change back. I can’t do this. I changed my mind” Emily said “Please change us back. You said it was easy to reverse and change back and...”
“Whoa...just relax. Calm down. I know it’s scary and overwhelming at this point but it gets easier. You’ll start to settle down and get used to this. Don’t rush. You said you needed a break and what better way to do that than to let me take over for you and you take over for me for a little while. Breathe in deep and hold it and let it out slowly” Cathy said in her calming voice.
Emily did begin to calm down but she found herself staring into the mirror at what was now her. “Just tell me that we will swap back and I’ll be okay”
“I promise you we will swap back” Cathy replied.
Emily nodded “This is so bizarre” she said
“I know. It takes some definite getting used to” Cathy replied. “But your mind adapts quickly”
“But I feel so different” Emily said as she turned to her side to get a profile view of her ass and hips “I feel so big...no offense”
“Absolutely none taken” Cathy replied “I’m never going to deny it or be ashamed of it but it’s yours now and you won’t deny it either. You’ll grow to love it. I’m comfortable in my own skin and you will be too”
Emily smiled still taking inventory.
“But I’m also comfortable in your skin honey. So cute! I’m adorable! Sexy even...” Cathy said “I can’t wait to try out some of your dresses and shoes”
“Well they’re all yours for the time being” Emily said “I can’t fit into them like this let alone, they’re not really my style currently”
“Yeah...too old” Cathy replied turning herself sideways to examine her flat belly.
“Oh my God...it just hit me. My Mom is two years Younger! Than me. I’m her older sister” Emily said.
“Oh my gosh yeah...and my little sister is now my Mom Haha!” Cathy laughed “That’s hilarious. Talk about a flip!”
“And that means you’re a Mom now...not me. And I’m not married either” Emily said as reality hit home.
"Let’s sit, have some wine and talk. Just relax and get settled okay" Cathy said easing Emily further in.
“Yeah, it looks like we have a lot to talk about” Emily said “And I could definitely use a drink”
Cathay went into the kitchen and poured as Emily went to the couch and sat down “My body moves so differently.... I can’t believe this happened”
“We did this honey! We made this happen! We manifested these changes in us. We triggered our bodies to change into each others...I know I’m happy. I’m young, I’m hot…”
“You have kids, and a husband and a job that is super boring” Emily added.
“See! There are things you’re glad to be losing in this. Yes, your body is different now, you’re older and yeah, bigger but this is a break for you. Utilize that and relax and enjoy. It’ll be your feet in the sand while I’m freezing my ass off in a Wisconsin winter”
Emily took a big gulp of wine; her big nose bumped the far rim of the glass “You’re right”
They talked for hours until Emily did calm down and finally accept their changes. 
As they talked, Emily let out a loud guffaw of laughter. “Mommy?” they heard from the top of the stairs.
“Hey honey” Cathy jumped up and rushed up to pick up 4 year old Lily. 
Emily felt her heart ache seeing her daughter put her arms out and be picked up. She walked over and Lily buried her face away from the stranger tickling her back “Want Mommy” she mumbled turning away.
Cathy gave Emily a sympathetic look as she naturally rocked her making her fall back to sleep. She held her as they whispered before carrying the little girl to her bed.
