Cathy curled up on the couch, covering herself with a fuzzy blanket. She pulled out her laptop and worked on a project for work. An idea had popped into her head and she wanted to get it down before she forgot "This is really good. I think they're really going to like this" she thought as the designer in her flourished. 
The following morning, Cathy got to her desk and changed out her fuzzy boots for a pair of black 2 ½" heels. They matched her tight black skirt and accentuated the olive green blouse she wore with it. Her hair and makeup were done perfectly, just like every other day.
She emailed her boss her sketches and ideas, wrapping up everything concisely just like her boss liked.
'Good job Emily. I'm approving this and sending it on to final as the client is happy with the final results' was the email she received back by noon.
Cathy smiled to herself "it's like I was born to do this job"
Cathy was in a great mood that night. She had gotten into a good routine with Jim; sex 3 to 4 times a week and that night she couldn’t get enough of him. On her back, she held Jim's ass tight trying to get him as deep as she could.
She wrapped her legs around him holding him inside her even after he came. Her hand now went down and furiously went to work, rubbing away as he maintained his erection inside of her until she came a second time.
"Oh my God Jim...that was amazing" she purred with a satisfied smile on her face.
1000 miles away, Emily too was on her back. She had a pillow under the small of her back to keep her hips elevated while her feet sat on the bottom edge of the bed. Rick stood at the foot of the bed thrusting in and out.
Emily pursed her lips as the warm lube they had applied oozed out a bit and she could feel some running down to her ample, jiggling ass. She lifted her hips higher as she got closer to climax. Her right hand now slipped down and she helped it along, rubbing faster, bearing down.
Emily’s muscles twitched and tensed and her legs shot out and she wrapped them around Rick pulling him in closer. As she felt him go inside her, she too orgasmed. 
Her eyes fluttered and rolled back before coming back into focus. She saw her right foot; her bright neon orange toes held straight out as every muscle in her body had tensed and was just now relaxing. She unwrapped her legs and let Rick out of her grasp. 
Emily and Cathy had just climaxed simultaneously. 
As Rick stepped back, Emily saw his penis glistening in the low light. The combination of lube and both of their cum gave it a shine. 
It was no longer fully erect, it dropped now a bit and he was bright red as he grabbed a towel that lay nearby.
He handed a towel to Emily who lifted her hips and slipped it underneath her just in time too as she felt the gush of her body pushing out the excess fluid.
Emily squinted and laughed; for some reason that always made her laugh. She took part of the towel in her hand and wiped herself. 
Emily watched Rick's ass as he walked to the bathroom. Suddenly, Emily got a clear picture of Jim in her mind: Jim after they had finished having sex. 
Jim had a smile that she only saw in that moment right after they finished. She sawnit in her mind at that moment. She also saw his body.
Jim and Rick were built differently, more so than just the 30 year age difference. Jim was tall at 6'3 and well built at 200 pounds. An ex football player, he had a broad chest and shoulders and worked out 4 times a week.
Rick was 5'10 and closer to 170. Thin and wiry in build he was in good shape for a man of 65. His muscles, especially his pecs, sagged though and she missed Jim's hard biceps suddenly.
As Rick returned, she looked down "miss that too" 
Rick was fine at 6 inches but Jim was a full 8.
Cathy had grabbed Jim's discarded boxers and she now put it under her ass just I time to catch her gush. As she looked up at the ceiling, she suddenly thought about Rick down in Florida.
"Oh my gosh why am I thinking about him?" She thought. She pictured him naked, like he had just finished having sex too. It was like she was clearly seeing him wipe off with that red and blue striped towel that was always kept in the bottom drawer of the nightstand. 
"Rick is in decent shape for a guy his age but I'll take my husband any day and twice on Sunday" she thought. "Not only is he bigger, he always lasts that little bit longer for me" 
Cathy smiled her satisfied smile seeing her Jim walk back in. "My turn" she said getting up and heading towards to bathroom. She gave him a full kiss on the lips, still holding his boxers between her thighs, the wet spot still growing but contained. "Love you" she said as she headed in.
"Love you too" he said heading over to the bed to fix the sheets.
The next few weeks flew by and before they knew it, Cathy and Jim were packing for their vacation. Susan and Jim's parents were watching the kids so they could enjoy a little get away on their own.
Cathy and Emily had been talking more and more about the trip; making plans on what they wanted to do. One thing had been left unsaid about them finally seeing each other in person for the first time since that Wednesday in October.
So as they flew down to Ft. Lauderdale, Cathy tried to focus solely on having fun.
Cathy glanced over her shoulder towards the doors while they waited for their luggage but the glass was dark and she couldn't get a good view.
They finally got everything and headed out. The smell and feel of Florida humidity hit her instantly "I swear this humidity will make my hair hair curl up like Aunt Cathy’s" she said as they looked around for her.
There was quite a crowd of cars lined up so they started walking down the line. Cathy was dressed stylishly but comfortable. She wore tight jeans with rips in them, one on her left thigh, the other over her right knee. She had on a pair of pink and gray Nike shoes that matched the pink and gray top she wore.
They walked past at least 15 cars before they saw her. Standing next to her old Toyota, curly hair whipping in the wind and waving at them.
"There she is" Jim said nodding in her direction.
Cathy nearly let out an audible gasp seeing her in person again.
She was wearing a new blouse and skirt; one that Cathy had never seen let alone wore. 
The skirt had wide different colored stripes and the blouse was a sleeveless bright green that matched the green in the skirt. Cathy was mesmerized by the flapping of her upper arm as she frantically waved them down. 
Jim raised a hand in recognition and Emily stopped waving. She could clearly see Jim but hadn't gotten a clear look at Cathy yet. A door opened and Jim swung left and then there she was, Cathy, looking fabulous.
Emily did gasp upon seeing her, her old body, her life walking right toward her. "Was I really that pretty? She looks amazing!"
"Oh my God was I really that big?!" Cathy thought immediately upon seeing Emily clearly. "She’s old!"
"She’s so tiny and so young!" Emily thought.
Cathy’s feet just kept carrying her closer and closer to the car "A week...will we swap back? I'm positive she'll ask to and what can I say? What can I do?"
"It's so different seeing her in person! Seeing her whole body and not just her face on a computer screen" Emily thought. "Those jeans...I remember wearing those"
Emily instantly became aware of the size of her hips and ass and how impossible it would be for her to wear them now. Her hands went down to her hips and touched them softly. 
Watching Cathy’s hips and body sexily strut towards her made Emily remember being Emily: Remembering being young and looking like that so effortlessly.
But it seemed do far away and so foreign to her. She had really immersed herself in her life as Cathy that thinking about being Emily again was like watching a movie and trying to put herself in it.
A man walked in front of Cathy and cut her off causing her to stop suddenly and turn to the side. She smiled and flipped her hair and Emily gasped again as she saw her small, tight, perfectly round ass encased in her jeans. "I need to switch back" she thought.
But for now, Emily threw her arms wide open "Oh honey it's so good to see you! I've missed you so much! Give your Aunt a hug!" And she shuffled towards Cathy.
Cathy for her part rushed forward smiling and squealing "Aunt Cathy!!! Oh my gosh you look amazing! So tan and relaxed!" They embraced tightly. "I missed seeing you too! It's just not the same on a phone screen"
They broke apart "I didn't forget you! Come give me a hug!" Emily said making her way towards Jim with a laughing stand hervarms out wide again. 
As she watched them hug, Cathy thought "She’s so big and...and fleshy" her eyes trained down "I swear her ass has gotten bigger! It wasn’t that big when it was mine. It couldn't be" she shook her head.
Emily’s sandaled toes peeked out from beneath her long skirt and Cathy caught a glimpse of the neon pink polish on her toes. 
Cathy looked at Emily’s upper arms, so big and loose and flabby "Bingo Wings" flashed in her mind. 
"Let’s get your luggage in the car kids, I want to get out of this traffic! This place is nuts today" Cathy said. She popped her trunk and Jim put their luggage in.
Cathy got in the backseat while Jim rode shotgun and Emily drove. She drove like a natural Floridian; crazy and fast, weaving in and out of traffic.
All the talk was small talk about the flight and the weather bur Cathy kept catching Emily glancing at her using the rear view mirror.
They were talking about their kids when they got to Cathy’s condo. "Home sweet home" Emily said looking at Cathy.
Cathy pursed her lips and their eyes met. She nodded softly. Jim got the luggage and headed up to the door as Emily unlocked the door. "The guest room is all made up for you"
Jim kept going down the hall and Emily and Cathy stayed by the front door. "So when will we be swapping back?" Emily asked in a whisper.
"Oh so now you're in a hurry?"
"Well I wasn't until I saw you, then, yeah, it hit me" 
"Well you can wait until the end of the week. The least you could do for me is let me enjoy this vacation this body. I've been the one working full time. I earned thus week you have to admit" Cathy said.
"But we will swap back before you leave right?" Emily asked. 
"If that's what you want, yes. But only at the end of the week" Cathy replied. 
"Fine...I can take that" Emily said.
Cathy nodded and smiled "Good, at least we got that out of the way"
"Negotiations were relatively painless" Emily joked; she could feel some tension between them.
"Thanks for letting me have this week. It's just, I've been really looking forward to this and it just wouldn't be the same if we switched back here at the beginning" Cathy said.
"I understand honey and I should be, I mean, I am grateful that you swapped with me with no questions asked when I needed it so bad last fall so...who would I be to demand a swap back from you. We're partners in this" she laughed.
"Haha, true...we are absolutely intertwined now; two halves of the same whole" Cathy said easing up.
Jim returned to the room having changed into a pair of shorts.
"I figured I'd let you two rest a bit. We can go to dinner later, get a few drinks after that then tomorrow head to the beach"
"You have a pool at the complex though too" Cathy asked knowing full well the pool and fitness center was just a few minutes walk away.
"You've been here before honey. They haven't closed it yet haha" Emily joked.
"I think it would be relaxing if we could go for a swim" Cathy said. "You should join us"
Emily smiled "I swim there a couple times a week as you know. I'm actually overdue; I haven't been there in a few days"
"Well let’s go get changed into our suits" Cathy said. "I can’t wait to let the water work on my tense muscles" added rubbing her neck and shoulder.
"Sure! I'll join you...sounds like fun" Emily said heading towards her bedroom. 
Jim and Cathy shared a look as they went into the guest room. "Yeah...just what I wanted to see; your Aunt in her bathing suit" Jim said. 
"Get used to it, I'm sure you're going to see it multiple times this week" Cathy laughed. "It's no big deal; you should be looking at me anyway haha"
"Oh I will be. Definitely haha" Jim replied.
It took Jim two seconds to switch into his trunks and he headed out. He grabbed a bottle of water and called down the hall "I'll be outside. I want to get some fresh air while you two change"
"Ok" Cathy yelled out and heard the door close.
"While we change...funny" Emily thought as she stood naked with her black one piece suit in her hands.
She sat on the edge of her bed and got her suit up her legs. Then she stood and pulled it up, having to suck in her belly and adjusting and tucking her large breasts into place as the shoulder straps dug in. She grabbed her cover up wrap and stepped out, opening her door at the same time as the door across from her opened as well.
Cathy and Emily stepped into the hall simultaneously. Both women gasped and their eyes ran up and down the other's body.
It was the most bizarre mirror image ever.
Their stances matched up perfectly. Cathy’s right foot up on the ball while Emily’s left foot rose up. Cathy put her left hand to her shoulder tightly while Emily put her right hand to her right shoulder. Both women had their hair down and their jaw drops matched up perfectly.
Now both women dipped their chins to their chests; their eyes going to the ground and their feet and slowly working their way back up taking in all the differences between their bodies.
Cathy’s pale, milky white soft feet had a white pedicure on her toes. Emily's bigger feet showed her age; rough and dry skin with prominent veins but dark and tanned. Her neon pink toenails were thick and longer than Cathy’s well trimmed ones as the ends of her nails exceeded the ends of her long toes.
Their eyes went up their legs; Cathy’s were pale but trim and taut and toned. Her calves curved, her thighs, smooth and round
Emily's legs were tan but thick with loose skin. Her calves were straighter and her ankles puffy, her thighs were large and the backs showed off dimples and cellulite that spread to her wide hips and her enormous ass.
Already the bottoms of her black suit were creeping back, slipping and showing more of the whiter flesh there. Her hips stretched against the elastic and lycra.
Cathy’s thighs moved up into narrow, rounded hips and her red suit neatly covered a well built and round ass.
Moving up showed very contradictory midsections. Cathy’s flat stomach as opposed to.the lumpy pooch pushing out on Emily.
But Emily couldn't really see her stomach. Her 40E breasts were in her way; the tanned and leathery skin of her chest and arms went all the way down to her weathered hands and plain long nails.
Cathy’s modest chest was held down in her red one piece and her pale skin was smooth and soft down her firm arms to her manicured soft hands with her white trim nails.
They finally looked at each other's faces,their ages reflected, both knowing the truth but also knowing the reality; they were swapped. They were each other.
"Um wow...you look...great" Emily said.
"Um, thanks. We should get going...Jim's waiting" Cathy replied.
Cathy’s wrap was thin and transparent and simply tied around her waist whereas Emily put her cover up over her shoulders, tied it at her waist as the bottom went almost to her knees.
They came out together and saw Jim walking back towards them the pond and fountain at the other end of the street. "Looking for alligators" Jim joked as he met up with them.
Jim followed them as they walked and he was struck by how you could tell they were related. Similar hand gestures and they cocked their heads in the same way before they laughed.
But his eyes also trained down to the differences as he watched both of their asses sway and move as they walked.
At the pool, the cover up wraps came off. Emily made her way into the pool slowly, using the steps in the shallow end. She took long slow steps before going forward and doing a little breaststroke forward. 
Cathy climbed in via the ladder in the deep end. She went under and came up slicking her hair back. Her face wet and her bright eyes blinking as a smile spread on her face.
She swam quickly back and forth doing a few laps as Emily tread water kicking her legs slowly underwater. 
Cathy made her way over to Emily. Jim was doing his own thing floating on his back.
The two women made their way to the edge. Emily put her arm up on the ledge while Cathy tread water effortlessly. 
"This is the first time I've swam in this body" she confided. "Swim a lap with me"
"Oh you'll be so much faster than me" Emily replied.
"Come on...I remember going swimming with you when I was little" Cathy said "You always wanted to race me back then...you remember Hampton Falls Lake where my Mom would take me?" 
Emily flushed "Of course I remember. I would cone and visit in July or August back in those days. I remember when you were just learning how to swim Em...you had that Little Mermaid bathing suit you insisted on wearing every time"
Cathy suddenly had a memory flash into her mind. The reverse memory was now hers. It superceded her actual memory with Emily’s. Now Cathy had more specific memories as the little girl. The feel of the water, the slight panic of letting go and swimming on her own as her Aunt cherred her on. The sadness she felt when that frayed Little Mermaid suit finally tore out in the crotch and her Mom made her throw it away.
Memories like that had always skirted right at the edges on her mind. She could see it but until this, she had never been able to access the emotions associated with it. She could see Emily’s memories but now, she could feel them.
The two them looked at each other, their jaws agape.
"This is going too deep. Us being together and not switching back is intensifying us as the other" Emily said.
"We'll be fine...it’s just another level but it was inevitable" Cathy said and Emily calmed some but remained skeptical.
"I'm just saying we really need to switch back" Emily said. 
"And we will. At the end of the week, you'll be the one flying back to Wisconsin; young and pretty and fully Emily again" Cathy reassured her.
But Cathy also thought to herself "But for how long...you won't be able to stand it. You'll deny it and try to stay, and stay strong but eventually, you'll break and ask to swap again"
"I know I agreed to wait out the week but it's harder than I thought it would be. Watching you, frankly, I'm envious" Emily admitted. 
"There's nothing to envy, this is you. This is your body, I'm just playing Emily" Cathy said downplaying the situation. She swam away.
Emily watched as Cathy’s small feet broke the surface; the bottoms of her wet toes and a bit of her soles bobbed out of the water in her direction.
Emily made her way out via the stairs and she went to the hot tub. She could see Cathy and Jim get close in the water.
Cathy wrapped her legs around Jim underwater and they floated together. They kissed and shared some words and laughed at a joke Emily couldn't hear. 
Jim playfully grabbed at Cathy’s ass as she swam away from him and she yelped out in surprise, laughing.
They eventually joined Emily in the hot tub before they made their way back to the condo.
Cathy’s friend Sheila stopped over shortly after they got home. The 4 of them played cards and talked and drank all evening.
On Sunday, they all slept late. Cathy and Jim were going to the beach. Emily was going to let them have the day to themselves.
Emily was sipping coffee and talking with Jim when Cathy came out. The one piece of yesterday was still drying out; Cathy was wearing a black bikini with hot pink accents on the straps.
Her hair was tied into two loose braids that came over the front of her shoulders making her look younger than her 34 years.
"I hope you brought a lot of sunscreen. That pale Wisconsin body of yours is going to burn" Emily said
"I did even though I was hoping to get a tan like you" she winked as Jim loaded up the car.
"Very funny" Emily replied. Cathy put on a t-shirt and shorts over her bikini laughing at her joke.
"Dang, you are super pale" Emily added.
"You didn't miss winter, I know you didn't" Cathy said.
"I never said there weren't benefits to this" Emily said. 
Cathy just smirked as she left.
They hung out at the beach for hours then got dinner together at a little burger joint on the beach. 
By the time they get home they found Emily on her back porch laughing it up with her friends as they split a bottle of wine.
"The next bottle is at Ellen's place...I'll be home later" Emily said as the group headed out.
Cathy watched them go, gave it 5 more minutes and then wrapped her arms around Jim's neck and kissed him passionately. "Let’s go have sex on Aunt Cathy’s bed"
Jim was a bit shocked but also turned on immensely. 
Cathy’s hand grabbed his dick and gave it a quick pump as she led him to her old room. She shed the shorts and shirt then her bikini bottoms. They kissed and their tongues flicked and flitted in and out.
Cathy stepped back just enough to untie her bikini top and hop onto the bed, spreading her legs as she scoot back.
Jim followed, moving up between her legs he put his hands on her knees and spread them wider before he moved his face between her thighs and began to please her.
Cathy moaned in pleasure and ran her hand through Jim's hair keeping him in place as his mouth worked its magic.
At the right moment, she put her hand under Jim's chin and lifted his head. He knew what that meant.
Jim got up and moved up. He entered her and she gasped feeling him inside her. They got into rhythm with each other. Cathy shifted position to get him even deeper and she bit her lip to suppress a scream of ecstasy as he came inside her and soon followed with her own orgasm.
"Oh my God that was so good...so intense" Cathy finally managed to say. "Like when we first met and we slipped away during Thanksgiving and did it on my parents bed" she laughed.
Cathy nimbly lifted her hips until Jim could grab a nearby towel so they wouldn't leave any evidence behind.
They were already in bed when Emily returned. 
Monday was going to be the hottest of the week so it was back to the beach for Cathy and Jim but they had dinner reservations that night with Emily and they would get to meet Rick.
Cathy of course knew Rick from her 6 weeks in her own body. He was nice and she liked him but, she thought of him as Emily’s boyfriend. Emily had been the one who originally picked him up and had spent about 9 months with him as opposed to her 6 weeks. 
Emily was up early and talkative as they got ready to leave. Cathy emerged in her third different swimsuit; a green and black bikini where the top looked more like a sports bra.
"If we get bored we might drive down the coast to do some sight seeing" Cathy told Emily "But we will refill the tank haha"
"Take you time and have fun. Just be ready to go to dinner…"
"By 7…we know and we will be back and ready with plenty of time" Cathy finished 
Emily watched them go and then made her way to the guest room. She went to the dresser and found the bikini Cathy had worn the previous day.
Clothes were all over; some hung in the closet, others in the dresser, others on the floor in the suitcases or in a hamper for laundry.
The bikini lay out; Cathy must have thought about wearing it again and had left it there. Now Emily picked up the two pieces and looked at them. "God I remember when this was mine and I had the body to fit in it" her eyes now trained down to her middle, her hips, her ass and her thighs.
"I turned myself into my 63 year old Aunt for  almost an entire year!" She thought. "I want my body back"
She put the bikini bottoms up to her massive hips and bulging middle and held it there. Cathy wore a size 4. Emily was a size 20.
She shook her head as she put the bottoms aside but held on to the teeny top. "Did she shrink?! This looks smaller than I remember" Emily said holding the top up to her massive breasts. The tanned and lined skin, the huge sagging breasts and the tiny black and pink top made quite a contrasting look.
"This is fucking depressing" Emily said as she left the room. She texted Rick to see if he was free. When he said yes, they went golfing to take her mind off everything.
The beach got crowded after a few hours and even though they had enjoyed the ocean and lying out, Cathy and Jim were hot and decided to take a drive and explore. They got lunch at a little seafood place where they had the freshest fish.
They drove until they hit Miami and explored parts of the city and checked out South Beach.
They were home by 5 to shower and get ready.
Jim was ready first and sat in the living room playing around on his phone while the ladies got ready.
Emily came out first "you look great Aunt Cathy" Jim said and she blushed.
"Aw thanks honey" Cathy said waving her hand shyly. 
Cathy had done her hair and makeup and it wasn't overdone or gaudy; it was more subdued with a nice shade of soft pink lipstick. She wore a black sleeveless dress that went to mid calf along with a pair of strappy dress flat sandals with gold accents.
"I can still clean up nice when I try" she laughed. 
Then Cathy stepped out.
She had also done her hair and makeup. She had found a flat iron in her bathroom and had straightened out her hair making it look longer and the sun the past few days had lightened her color a shade.
She wore a white sundress with a light blue floral pattern and 3" wedge platform sandals. Her white toes peeked out the end and she wiggled them slightly as she knew their eyes were upon her.
Emily’s jaw dropped. 
"So is Rick meeting us at the restaurant?" Jim asked
"Yeah, yes he is" Emily replied.
"Then let's get going" Jim said 
The restaurant was in Miami and was very exclusive; a real treat to go out to eat. Rick was waiting for them and introductions were done. Cathy and Emily shared a look.
Rick and Jim ordered steaks while Emily and Cathy got fish so both red and white wine were also ordered. Emily caught the fact that Rick was very intrigued by Cathy.
"So I suppose he likes both of us now" she thought. "I wonder if the next time we do it, if he's picturing her"
Then, Emily got a follow up thought "but I might not have sex with him again...I'm switching back into that cute little body again in a few days...he can fantasize about me all he wants"
Dinner went well and the conversation never lagged.
The next day was golf. Cathy wanted a quiet day to just read and relax so she begged out. Sheila would the 4th player in their group. 
That gave Cathy time alone in her condo; a place she hadn't spent much time in recently. She went into her old bedroom and just looked around. Trinkets and pictures brought back some memories before she found the dress Emily had worn the night before. 
Cathy put it on and swayed and spun watching the loose dress flow around her. 
She pulled out the sandals and slipped her small, dainty feet in them. She lifted her toes up well back from the ends and the imprints of Emily’s bigger toes in them.
"What if we swapped back right now? I would fill out this dress and she'd have a lot of explaining to do on the golf course if she suddenly shrank back down into Emily as the others know her" Cathy laughed.
Cathy used her time to get some things in line and prepare for the swap back. She hadn't been home and needed to get her materials together.
She was reading with her feet up when they got home. 
All four came in and Cathy jumped into the conversation. 
Cathy and Jim snuck off for dinner together and went to the beach at sundown for a romantic evening.
The next day, Jim and Rick went golfing again while Cathy and Emily went shopping at some of the exclusive boutiques in town. 
Cathy splurged on an expensive pair of Italian leather pumps "Something for you to remember this by" Cathy joked with Emily "Wear these once you're back"
"Oh I will haha. And I'll think of you every time" Emily replied as she tried on some fancy sandals. "This really is our chance to walk in each other's shoes. I buy these, you buy those…"
"And they will swap like all the rest of our clothes" Cathy laughed.
"So I see you're coming around on that. I thought I was getting some hostility when you first got here and I brought it up" Emily said.
"Sorry if it came off that way. I just really wanted to vacation like this" Cathy said. "I am willing to swap whenever you want. You asked to swap and we did, now, it's time to swap back" she shrugged "I got a good almost full year living your life honey. It's more than I thought I would get. It really grew on me. This body has become quite comfortable for me" Cathy explained 
"I feel that same way about this body and life" Emily admitted "I feel more relaxed as you. More comfortable really, but it's time to go back"
"I've got my stuff all ready to go. You say the word" Cathy told her. "There's still a full day after today to go before you fly out"
"Maybe we could swap back tonight and I could get in a beach day tomorrow" Emily said.
"We'll just keep talking tonight until Jim gets tired and goes to bed" Cathy said.
They shopped and bought more clothes and Emily bought things for the girls.
Jim was tired after golfing all day. Rick had booked them for 36 holes so it wasn't a problem to get him to bed early.
"Let’s go into your room" Cathy said.
"You mean your room" Emily countered.
"Whatever you want to call it; just need some privacy" Cathy reminded her "we don't need Jim walking in halfway"
"True, true…" Emily said finding herself tiptoeing down the hall to the bedroom. 
Cathy closed the door behind her and locked it. Two bottles of water sat on the nightstand.
Emily sighed and closed her eyes letting her shoulders drop.
"You okay over there" Cathy asked putting her hand on Emily’s shoulder.
"Yeah" she blinked and wiped her eyes with the heel of her hands "I'm okay"
"Take your time" Cathy said easing Emily into the room "Sit down for a minute"
Emily sat heavily on the bed. She watched as Cathy undressed and put on an oversized nightgown "Your clothes are already limited here"
"Do you remember the first time we swapped?" Emily asked "When I came out of it I b was so shocked. I thought I had lost my mind! Then my clothes were stretched paper thin but I had your body" 
"And I had yours" Cathy said nodding 
"It had worked. I didn't think it would, but it did and look at us now. A year later basically and I'm afraid to go back to my own damn body" Emily laughed. 
"If it gets too much; all you have to do is ask. I will always swap back with you. If you need me; I will be on the next flight to you" Cathy reassured her.
Emily bit her lip and nodded finally breaking into a smile. "Now I can do this" she said picking up a bottle and drinking it down.
Cathy nodded and took the other bottle. They both climbed up on the bed after Cathy finished it off. They both got into position, scooting up close to one another, sitting cross legged under their knees came together. 
Their toes touched and they took each other's hands. With a mod, they both closed their eyes and began to go deep into their hearts and minds. They needed to be fully relaxed and in sync physically and mentally for it to work.
Cathy struggled to get in the right frame of mind but when she finally found it, she didn't find Emily there. She felt Emily squirming across from her. Her toes twitched she squeezed and gripped Cathy’s hands.
Cathy lifted her mind and could hear Emily breathing shallowly and moaning softly in her state.
"Concentrate...focus...relax…" Emily told herself. She kept telling herself "See your true self...seek your true face and body" And each time, she couldn’t summon up her young face and tiny body: Every time she saw herself as Cathy.
The now familiar older face would swim up and be so clear. Her older and heavier body would materialize and solidify.
She tried focusing on individual parts. "My feet...my toes" only to see bright long neon painted toes.
Cathy tried to speak; to reach out to Emily but she couldn’t. Everything suddenly felt heavy upon her and she couldn't open her mouth. 
Cathy heard a voice inside her head which kept changing back and forth between both of their voices. It started out deep and raspy but changed to a higher but smoother voice; Emily’s voice. "Calm yourself...you can't reach her. She must work her way through to her conclusion"
"I don't understand...I…" and Cathy went deeper into her trance. Flashes of memories would flare up like she was watching a movie. Cathy no longer had control and could no longer reach out.
Emily twitched; small spasms racked her body. Static electricity built up. Her curly hair stood on end and small shocks popped all over her body. 
Emily heard a voice inside her head and it startled her; it was Emily’s voice, high and clear, but it was a voice she hadn't heard in her mind in months. "It's time to choose"
The voice dropped to raspy and deeper "Either way, you know it's right" 
The voices blended together into a single voice "Just focus on what you want. See who you truly want to be; who you really are. You already know what you want. You already know who you are; who you're supposed to be"
Both women's heads dropped back, their mouths opened as they both gasped suddenly taking in the deepest breath possible. 
Cathy’s mind rushed forward in a blur. Light and sound crashed in her. She felt her body tighten as if squeezed in a vise. 
Emily squeezed Cathy’s hands as every muscle in her body locked, frozen as she shook from head to toe.
Then, release. Both women exhaled and slumped to the bed.
Emily began to see lights out of the pitch dark. Senses began to return to her. She heard the air conditioning unit kick on. She smelled the apple scent of an air freshener. She felt the soft bed below her; she was laying on her left side. 
She could tell lights were on in the room and now as she held still, she could hear breathing from someone else. 
She was exhausted; she couldn't move or lift her limbs or open her eyes but now she heard the breathing pattern across from her change. No longer deep and even, now it came and went and she could tell the person was waking; stirring.
Cathy finally managed to pull up. It felt like she was deep underwater kicking for a surface that she couldn't find. Then, light, sound, smell. She took a gasping breath and began to fight her way to consciousness but she was finding it hard to move, to come around "Something went wrong" she thought. The thought jolting her, pushing her forward "Emily!" 
Emily put the heel of her hand down against the bed. She felt it give as she pushed herself up.
Cathy’s eyes fluttered and finally managed to open. She focused slowly "Emily?" She finally managed to say. Her mouth was dry and her tongue felt strange and swollen.
Emily was looking down. Her hands hovered just above her body.
"Emily!" Cathy said stronger. She managed to swallow as she lifted herself up. 
Emily looked up and over to Cathy, a strange smile on her face. 
Cathy looked down at herself before looking back over "What happened?"
"It worked" Emily said softly.
"It…" Cathy’s head was foggy. She brought her legs up and made herself sit up. She looked down again. She splayed out her fingers. Slowly she brought her hands back to her body and she heard Emily giggle.
"Go ahead...you can touch them. What are you scared off?" Emily asked. 
Cathy looked briefly confused "um" she looked back down as she moved her hands closer to her body.
"They’re yours now" Emily said.
Cathy felt the soft fabric of the nightgown and she pushed it back; way back to get to the firm, small, pert breasts that sat up naturally on her tiny chest. Her smooth skin glistened in the light and her manicured fingers flexed in as she squeezed them.
Cathy’s jaw dropped. 
Emily smiled and nodded "I had to choose and, well…" she shrugged "I chose to stay like this"
"But you...all week you talked about wanting to switch back and be Emily again" Cathy said "And...you're not. You picked…"
"I was having something trouble, so much doubt about going back to all the problems and pressure that you seem to be dealing with and doing a great job with. I tried to picture myself back in your shoes. And I wasn't happy. I hated being in those Italian leather pumps you just bought. They don't fit me anymore"
"But...you're just…" Cathy looked down. Shecwas sitting cross legged and her firm and milky white thighs were right there. Her smooth feet and pedicured toes wiggled.
"They’re all yours...Emily" Emily said. "But if the pressure ever gets too much. You can call me. We can talk and I'll talk you out of whatever you're thinking"
8 Months Later…
"Happy Thanksgiving" Jim said raising his wine glass.
Emily clicked her glass off of his before turning to her right "Cheers Aunt Cathy" she said clicking their glasses together.
"What a year honey" Cathy said to her niece taking a drink of wine. 
Jim was distracted cleaning up the floor after their youngest daughter decided to throw mashed potatoes.
Emily sipped her water from her glass "Really quite the last almost two years now"
Cathy just smirked and raised her eyebrows. "I'm so happy for you honey. You have no idea!" 
"Oh actually I think I do have an idea" Emily gave her a wry, knowing smile and look as she pushed her chair back from the table. 
Emily’s belly popped out like a basketball had been put under her shirt. She placed her hand protectively on it and gave the taut kicking ball a playful rub "Little guy liked turkey...he is all over the place right now"
Cathy leaned over and put her hand on Emily’s pregnant belly and felt her great nephew kick. "He's going to be strong like his Mother"
"And stubborn like his Aunt" Emily replied with a laugh.
"You mean smart like his Aunt"
