For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to switch bodies with my Aunt Allie…

I should introduce myself; my name is Sydney Shelton. I'm 11 years old…I love swimming and playing soccer, hanging out with my friends and making Tik Toks. I just finished up the 6th grade and I have just started my summer vacation. I like to read, I get good grades…but, I also am convinced that I am supposed to be a 34 year old woman.

My Aunt Allie is the coolest person I know.

She works in Marketing for a big insurance company so she travels a lot and to so many neat places.

She has a killer wardrobe, an awesome apartment downtown, tons of friends, and, well, she has my life. Or at least the life that I want.

It all started back when I was 5 or 6. My Mom is 4 years older than her sister, my Aunt. They're super close and Aunt Allie is over at our house a lot; she always has been.

She's never been married so I'm the closest thing she has to kid. My Mom and Dad divorced when I was little so the two sisters bonded and have basically raised me.

Anyways. My Aunt was coming back from a business trip and we were picking her up from the airport. I don't know what it was that day. I can't explain it even though I've tried to, but when I saw her come out of the doors, this thought popped right into mind "I'm going to be her someday"

Aunt Allie was wearing a red sweater and a tight tan skirt along with shiny tan heels. I now know those are called Nude heels. Aunt Allie's were Christian Louboutin and very expensive.

Her long brown hair was shiny and bouncing. Her big brown eyes lit up when she smiled seeing me.

I ran over and gave her a big hug. She bent down and wrapped her arms around me and said "Oh I missed you so much baby girl!"

"I missed you too Aunt Allie!" I remember saying. I remember her perfume from that day. I remember the way her hair felt as it brushed against my face. How soft she was.

She rose up to her full height next to me. I was barely higher than her waist at that point and I blurted out "I wish I was you Aunt Allie!"

She spun and looked down at me. Her hair was falling forward and she smiled wide and she laughed.

I got the weirdest feeling inside me. An intense tickling and warm tingling all over as we locked eyes and she said "Oh I wish I were you too Sydney! I would love nothing more than to switch places with you! Maybe when you get a little bit older, we can make it happen!"

I was so happy in that moment. I knew it was my destiny. Our destiny.

That brings me to today. Well, maybe just a little bit more background…

Over the last 5 years, there have been long stretches where I haven't thought about swapping for long periods of time and other times, I daydream about it constantly.

I have had dreams where we are swapped and I always wake up so happy from them but also a bit sad since it didn't actually happen.

I can see us. Me as her and her as Me. Sometimes I see us changing shape really slowly into each other and other times, it's just like, POOF! We're changed. I guess it doesn't matter how it happens, just that it does happen.

Tonight, my Mom is going out with her friends and Aunt Allie is watching me. My Mom has warned me that Aunt Allie is super stressed out about work and that I should make it an easy night on her.

But I'm thinking that this is finally my chance. If Aunt Allie is so stressed, then what better way to get away from it than switching places with me and letting me deal with it!

I'm super nervous about tonight. If nothing else I'll just act like it's a little joke depending on how she reacts. But I know that deep down, we're going to switch bodies…

I was in my room when I heard the door open and voices downstairs. My heart nearly burst out of my chest.

"Sydney! Aunt Allie is here!" I heard my Mom call out.

"I'll be down in a sec!" I yelled back.

I looked into the mirror. I have an old fashioned stand up mirror that was my Grandma's in the corner of my room.

I saw my skinny little body in baggy shorts and a baggy tank top. My freckled face. My stringy reddish brown hair. My green eyes. My crooked teeth that my Mom and dentist keep threatening to put into braces. "Today" I told myself as I started to smile. "Today's the day. I just know it!" My heart was beating fast.

I flew down the steps way too fast and way too loud.

"Well either an elephant is here or it's just Syd" my Mom said looking at me from the corner of her eye but Aunt Allie was all smiles.

"Hey kiddo!" She greeted me with her usual.

"What’s up Aunt Allie?"

"Oh nothing much…you ready to hang out tonight?"

"Absolutely!" I laughed.

My mom was putting on her shoes "I have no idea how long I'll be out tonight in all honesty"

"Don’t worry Meg…we'll be just fine" Allie said as she headed out.

Aunt Allie spun on her heel after closing the door. She was barefoot, wearing blue shorts and a red tank top. Her pair of gray slip on sandals sat by the door.

"So what are we going to do tonight?" Allie asked, a very slight smile on her lips but with concern and worry in her eyes.

"I don't know" I answered with a shrug "What do you want to do?"

She just smiled and looked far off and past me.

"Are you doing okay? My mom gave me a little heads up that you've been really stressed out at work so…"

Aunt Allie laughed "Yeah. Work has been rough lately but hey…what are you going to do? It's just part of life"

"I wish I could help you out" I offered up weakly.

"Oh you will. Just seeing you…it's a Friday night and I don't need to worry about those types of things again for another few days" she said to me. "I'm thinking about crashing here tonight anyway"

"Sleepover…oh yeah!" I laughed and so did she as she took a seat on the couch.

She sat back and crossed her legs and I went over and sat on the other end.

"I wasn't joking when I said I wish I could help you but like the only thing I can think of right now that actually would help you is if we could switch places with each other and I could be you and go deal with your work problems while you just relax as me" I offered up in a shaky voice that betrayed my nerves.

She looked my way though with a curious look in her eyes. "If only Kiddo!" She replied. "I would switch places with you if I could"

I thought I was going to faint.

"I remember one time when you were little. I had just flown in from Phoenix and you said something about that. It's always stayed with me for some reason. I think I even said something along the lines of trying to make it happen at some point" she laughed.

My eyes were bugging out of my head hearing her. She had remembered!

"I have thought about it too" I managed to say.

"It's a nice little daydream for me sometimes when I'm stressed out…picturing myself as you"

"Ohmygosh" I mumbled clutching my chest.

Aunt Allie just clapped and laughed at me. "I'm blowing your mind tonight aren't I?"

I could just nod. "I can’t believe this! You! You would actually want to switch places with me?"

She just nodded. A very sly smile on her face.

"I could be you…" my eyes darted all over her "...and, and you would be me!"

"Of course! Why the heck not?! Like you said, let you worry about work and all that adult stuff while I can kick back as a kid again. Sounds like a dream come true for me"

I was hyperventilating. "Aunt Allie! You have no idea how amazing this sounds! I dream about this all the time! I so…SO want to be you so bad…this is just…AAAHHHH!" I squealed as Allie laughed.

"So let's dream together tonight kiddo. Let's see if we can manifest this into being! And if we can't…well it'll still be a fun night! A chance to pretend at least"

I was nodding as fast as I could.

"So what should we do first?" Aunt Allie asked.

"Um…oh my gosh, um…okay first…I think we need to say it out loud" I said

"I'll let you go first then" Aunt Allie said sitting back.

I looked at her. Her face was so welcoming, so open and willing to hear me. She gave me an encouraging nod.

I was so overwhelmed by the moment. The possibility, even if it was a Trillion to One, that somehow it would actually work. Even besides that: The simple fact that she had thought about it too was so important to me.

"Okay" I paused and composed myself and I put my right hand on my chest "I wish that I could switch places with you. I wish that I was Allison Louise Myers. That I had her body…her face…her life and that she had mine in return. That we could switch places and bodies and lives is my ultimate desire"

"Wow…very impressive…I like that wish! I don't know if I can match that but I'm going to try" she chuckled but I saw pride in her and I puffed out my chest a bit.

She shimmied her shoulders and held her chin up and she cleared her throat "I wish that I could trade places with you. I wish that I was Sydney Marie Shelton. I wish I were her and she was me. I want nothing more in this world than to actually, physically and mentally switch places and lives with her. She is me and I am her. Let us trade places, bodies…ages…whole lives. I can see us like we should be, not how we currently are"

My jaw dropped hearing her speech "That was amazing Aunt Allie! Way better than mine"

"No way…yours set the stage. I just built on your foundation" Aunt Allie replied.

I sat back and put my legs out on the couch in front of me. The next thing I know, she's swinging her legs up onto the couch too and putting her feet out in front of her. She wiggled her toes and I just knew what she wanted; a foot comparison.

Aunt Allie lifted her heel up, the bottom of her right foot hovered right there. I saw it and giggled and shoved my left foot up against it.

I pressed forward laughing as I felt her knee bend and her foot gave way to mine.

"Ah!" I yelled out as she pushed back and locked her knee.

"Haha…I'm still bigger than you and stronger. At least for the moment" Aunt Allie teased me making my heart flutter all over again.

I pushed but she held me back. My foot was smaller all around. Hers was wider than mine, longer than mine and it felt thicker than mine. The sole of her foot was firm but soft.

The tip of my big toe went up to the crease in the middle of her big toe. My next four toes basically stopped where hers began, just at the base of them.

Then, she jumped up "We need to paint our nails! I know your Mom has the same red shade I'm wearing"

"Oh! And you can wear my blue!" I replied getting up quickly. "Come on…mine's in my room and Mom keeps hers in her bathroom"

I led the way. Aunt Allie got q-tips and cotton balls and polish remover while I got the colors out "This is so awesome haha…if only we can take this all the way!"

"Oh I know honey. The more I think about it, the more I want it" she confessed to me.

"Are you serious?" I asked her as we both plopped down on the floor in my room and started taking off our toenail polish.

"Absolutely kiddo!" She looked me dead in the eye "I am really serious. Right now, I would give anything to be you"

"Anything?"

"Everything" she replied. She was looking down, squeezing her toes as she took off her polish. She blew on her toes before continuing "I mean that if we switch, I'll be giving you everything I have" she looked up "And I want nothing more than that"

I lunged forward and nearly tackled her in a hug. I rocked her back and forth "UUURRRRGGGG! Why can't we just swap?! We both want it!"

"I know…I wish I could switch places with you" she repeated and I felt warm. A warm tingle deep down inside me. "I'll just keep saying it until it happens" she informed me.

I smiled and sat back grabbing the red polish "I wish I could trade places with you " I said as I brushed on my first stroke of red.

Aunt Allie hummed as she put on my sky blue polish as I concentrated on putting on the red as neatly as I could.

Aunt Allie smiled and got some remover on a q-tip and grabbed my feet. She cleaned up the excess on my skin "Your feet are so soft" she added and I giggled.

"Your feet are so pretty" I said

"Thanks! Just wait until they're yours!" Aunt Allie laughed.

We both stood up, our toes lifted and held upward so they didn't get smudged.

I grabbed the bottles and headed to the bathroom. While I was in there, I heard my dresser drawers moving and hangers clacking "What’s going on in there?" I called out hearing her laugh.

"You sound like Mom" she teased in a sing-song voice.

I came around the corner and skidded to a stop in the doorway. My jaw dropped in joy and I squealed "Ohmygod! You look so adorable Aunt Allie!"

She did a quick little curtsey, a bob of her head and a look from the top of her eyes as she put her arms out all in one super cute motion.

I bounced and danced my way over to her squealing; Aunt Allie had managed to get into one of my tank dresses: The one with the red and white stripes. It was super tight up top and didn't quite make it to her knees and her hips and ass jutted out but it was on.

She looked out of the corner of her eyes to her discarded clothes and she smiled a mischievous smile and nodded her permission.

"Are you kidding me right now?!" I bounced again

"No kidding Kiddo" she smiled brighter "Anything that we can do to make this happen" she laughed and turned around for me.

As I basically got undressed in one motion she kept tugging at her dress which clung to her thighs like cellophane "I might have to buy you a replacement…I'm stretching this little thing out" she tugged at the top as she laughed.

"No…hopefully it's me buying you a replacement. If this works, I'll be the one with money! You're broke…you're 11 haha" I replied.

"Oh very true!" She replied. I could tell she was smiling. She was having fun I could tell. She was the one pushing it with ideas.

I stepped into her clothes. Her underwear. Her shorts…her…her bra and her top.

I got sad for a moment at how big they were on me. How I couldn't come anywhere close to filling them out. No hips…no butt. Definitely no chest but I heard her shuffling around and she gasped so I looked up.

Aunt Allie had a look of joy on her face as she looked at me.

"Oh come on Aunt Allie…I look stupid in your clothes…they're way too big…"

"No they are not!" She said emphatically "You look great in them already and you're going to fill them out…I can feel it. This is going to happen"

I was getting discouraged, I'll fully admit to it. Putting on her clothes just showed me how silly it was. That was when she hugged me again and said "I wish I could trade places with you. I Wish I were you and you were me. What if our lives were reversed?"

As she talked, she took off her necklace and put it on me. She took off her bracelet and put it around my wrist. She took out her earrings and nodded to me.

Silently, I took my earrings out and we switched. I put in her silver hoops and she put in my cheap plastic butterflies.

"Come on" she encouraged me and she took me by my hand.

We shuffled a few steps across my room to the antique stand up mirror and we stood in front of it.

Despite my doom and gloom, a smile started to twitch at the corners of my mouth.

Aunt Allie's eyes lit up "There we go. Now you're back in the mood"

I felt better again. More confident.

"This will never work unless we both want it more than anything else" I said.

"I know" she answered and took a deep breath. "Just look at our faces" she said softly.

I did. I examined our faces. The differences between them. The similarities. Staring long enough, I looked foreign to myself.

"I wish my birthday was January 9th, 2011" I heard her say.

"I wish my birthday was October 23rd, 1987" I replied.

My eyes remained fixed on the mirror. I was about 5 or 6 inches shorter. I was taking deep breaths. My eyes started to cross and blur. Aunt Allie's face seemed to float towards me and mine towards her.

I moved my right hand until I found her left and we held on. "I wish I was you Aunt Allie" I said concentrating hard.

"Oh I wish I were you too Sydney. I would love nothing more than to switch places with you"

I felt it.

The feeling I had only felt once before in my life and it was when I was standing there outside of the airport. Warmth built up inside of me very quickly, spreading all over. Butterflies took off in my stomach. A tingling sensation ran up my spine and down to my fingers and my toes. A tickle in the back of my throat, deep down, feeling like it was sinking lower into my body.

My Aunt's expression changed going from rather blank to confused and curious. Her right hand moved to her stomach and pressed down. She shivered all over and her lips separated.

Time seemed to slow down into slow motion. I saw her lick her lips and watched her shoulders rise up as she took in a deep breath. Her head tilted to the right slightly.

I knew it was the time: Our window was open. I squeezed her hand and closed my eyes and then, somehow, we both said at the exact same time, in the exact same rhythm with the exact same cadence and inflections in our voices so they rang out as one voice.

"I wish I could switch places with you"

I gasped and dropped her hand as I shivered all over. The already intense feelings inside me managed to get even more powerful and forceful.

I felt like I was on fire. I saw standing there and in the mirror. I didn't know what was going through Aunt Allie's mind but she had a determined look in her eyes. She took a step even closer to the mirror and said "What if I had your nose?"

And then, an absolute miracle occurred.

I can't explain how I actually felt in that exact moment. I went numb in a way. My mind was blown. I just locked up because once she said those words as if on command, the bridge of her nose pushed back. The tip of her nose lifted up. Her nostrils flared before shrinking down narrower. Her nose shrank down smaller.

Aunt Allie's expression was one of total shock. Her mouth opened. She gasped loudly. Her eyes bulged and her body convulsed.

She looked at the mirror and then she looked at me. She had my nose.

We both screamed at the top of our lungs and flew around the room. Screams of shock and surprise and joy and miraculous wonder. Moving around, jumping, bouncing, gesturing wildly over the top. We were out of control.

It took us several minutes to compose ourselves. Just noise and movement and laughter. I remember her saying "Holy Shit!" A lot. She would keep going back to the mirror and checking on her nose. "Smaller…faint freckles…it's definitely Sydney's. I have Sydney's nose!. Something is working…it's honest to God happening!"

I walked up to her by the mirror and she grabbed my forearms. I could only stare in wonder; "I have your nose!" She exclaimed to me excitedly. She was bouncing up and down like a little kid, nearly out of breath.

In that moment, I composed myself "Everything I've ever wished for is starting. Everything I've ever wanted is to be my Aunt Allie…just say it!" My mind screamed at me.

"What if" I nearly choked trying to speak but I saw my Aunt's big brown eyes pleading with me. "What if I had your nose?"

The words were spoken like in a dream but I saw in the mirror and I felt it. I felt it with every fiber of my being. Everything was concentrated on sensing movement in my nose and sure enough…

The tip of my nose flattened and dipped down. The bridge of my nose pushed forward. My nostrils flared as they grew larger on my growing nose.

My jaw dropped in shock. My nose had just physically changed shape and size into my Aunt's nose.

It set off another round of excited squeals and jumping around in each other's arms.

"Ohmygosh…" we were finally composing ourselves. Aunt Allie sat down on the very edge of my bed. Her knees were together but her feet were apart but her toes pointed in. Her chest was still heaving as she caught her breath. I looked at her and was so infatuated. I wanted to be her so badly and now, it actually seemed possible. Not just possible but probable.

"Do you realize what we're about to do?" She asked me.

I nodded taking in a deep breath. My eyes had to convey my excitement, my absolute joy.

"I know you said you dreamt about this and that you want to do it but I would be remiss if I didn't at least say are you sure. Are you absolutely, positively sure that you want to exchange lives with me? You'll be giving up 23 years of your life. Going into my body"

"No I totally get where you're coming from Aunt Allie! But I have thought about this so many times. I mean, you seem to be willing to go back 23 years. To go back to being just 11 again…that's just as big as me going forward that much. But to answer your question: Yes! Absolutely yes! I have wanted nothing more than to be you"

My Aunt started to softly nod as a smile crept across her face. She let out a quick "psst" of air from her tiny little kid nose. "I can’t say I've wanted this my whole life since I was 23 when you were born but I want it now"

I jumped bounced and squealed again.

"Ever since that day at the airport, I have thought about it and wanted it…like it was destined to happen"

I went numb hearing her say those words.

"I'm going to be you and you're going to be me!" I said

"So how did we word this? It feels like it's just right there" she asked.

I closed my eyes and let my mind reach out "What if I were you and you were me"

"What if I were you and you were me" she echoed.

"Everything that is mine will be yours and everything that is yours will be mine" I started and she repeated "Everything that is mine will be yours and everything that is yours will be mine"

I blinked my eyes open and found her looking directly into my eyes. Together we said "What if we switched places with each other? I grant to you and consent to switching bodies and lives with you"

We both gasped in as an unseen force consumed us and the entire room.

I felt filled up and yet drained all at once. My mind got foggy and I felt this weird churning inside of me "Aunt Allie?" I called out in a very shaky and scared sounding voice, a very little kid sounding voice, a voice on the edge of panic.

"It's okay kiddo! I'm right here Syd…we got this. I feel it too" she told me.

I had to shut my eyes. Everything had gotten blurry and I felt tears in my eyes so I shut them tight, squeezing them shut.

An itch hit them and I ran my index fingers over my eyelids and blinked them open.

"Syd?" Aunt Allie laughed doing a quick double take.

"Yeah" I chuckled "that was weird haha"

"You’re telling me…" she cocked her head toward the mirror with a little snort.

I turned to it "Oh shit!" I exclaimed before laughing "Ohmygosh! My eyes! Haha they're brown!"

"I can see that hun…you look great with my eyes!" Aunt Allie assured me.

I leaned in closer and opened my big brown doe eyes as wide as I could.

I smirked seeing my eyelashes changing, getting darker and thicker and my eyebrows were getting darker and thicker and longer too. Changing shape; making me look more and more like who I wanted to look like.

I looked over and saw Aunt Allie had her eyes shut tightly with a little grimace on her face. I could see her eyes dancing beneath her eyelids. I saw her eyelashes shorten and thin out.

My jaw dropped as her eyebrows thinned and lightened.

She hummed and her eyes fluttered and popped open. She blinked twice before laughing "Oh my! I have green eyes! Haha! I love them!"

"Not just any green eyes" I added.

"Yeah…they're your small ones but I swear things are crisper…" she ran her index fingers over her eyebrows.

"Um, correction. They're Your small ones. As you can clearly see MY eyes are big and brown" I batted them like I had always dreamed of doing.

Aunt Allie just smirked at me. Her forehead twitched and smoothed out. Her skin was getting paler and freckles were coming out.

"I already look younger" she remarked. The faint lines and bags under her eyes had vanished "I really don't know if it's actually hit me yet that I'm going to only be 11 again. Like, it's hard to wrap my head around that concept…going backwards through puberty" she looked over to me "I'm going to go back to a 6th grade education. I'm giving you all my knowledge and education and experience. I won't even be able to drive again for another 5 years!"

I could just nod in agreement "It's a big change…it's mind blowing that it's happening to us. I will be driving. I'll have your job"

"From 1987 to 2011…I will be born in 2011!" Aunt Allie said as her hairline started to move. Her cheeks began to puff up and out with my baby fat. More freckles kept appearing "that alone is insane!"

"Haha! I know I can't believe I'm going from Gen Z to Millennial" I laughed

Aunt Allie turned back to the mirror full on, a big smile on her face "oh my cheeks are different! My whole face looks, rounder" she decided.

My face was looking more angular as my cheeks spread out. They were sleeker, more mature looking.

They made my eyes more prominent; I liked it. I wanted this face for so long. I was tingling all over as my chin came to more of a point and my jawline strengthened and lifted up and out really giving my face defined lines "We're really starting to look like each other" I pointed out as my Aunt worked her jaw back and forth and rubbed her little round chin.

She tucked her dark brown hair behind her ears just as they started to shrink down and change shape. I saw her get my ears…tiny and rounded. The butterfly earrings were very appropriate on ears like those.

She was smiling a goofy smile of awe and wonder. Her hands rubbing various parts of her face: They would go up and down her cheeks then to her chin, then to her forehead.

"I've got your face…I can't…all these freckles. This tiny nose…these chubby cheeks…haha!" She laughed.

"I know…it's so amazing right?" I asked as my ears heated up. I flipped my hair back and let myself be amazed watching my ears change shape on my head.

The silver hoops dangled and bounced as her lower lobes grew longer; my ears grew larger and rose higher up "Almost there Aunt Allie…we've almost switched faces"

"Oh I know! This is so exciting!" Her enthusiasm for this was growing; I was happy that she was so happy that this was happening. I knew I wanted this but apparently, so did she.

"Switchin faces…Switchin places" Aunt Allie sang goofing off.

I really wanted to see my mouth change into her mouth and of course, vice versa for hers.

I wanted those lips; her straight white teeth.

I leaned in close to the mirror and bared my teeth. They were crooked and a bit too big for my face. My Mom kept telling me I was still growing and would grow into them. "Nope…I've got a cheat code to amazing teeth" I thought laughing to myself "No braces for me now"

I saw my Aunt leaning in close too. She was moving her mouth around, making kissing or duck lips. I heard a quick snort come from her nose and my eyes darted over. Her lips were thinning down. The very faint lines at the corners of her mouth were filling in and smoothing out.

I closed my lips down as I felt them go numb but I also felt them trembling in movement.

My lips plumped up as they stretched out longer and larger. My upper lip and the spot between my nose and lip shifted into permanent place and I bared my teeth once again.

Aunt Allie was also showing her teeth.

"Oh that feels weird!" I said through my clenched teeth.

"Mmmmmm" she hummed and fluttered her hands in agreement.

My gums felt like liquid as my teeth began to shift and slide, changing size and shape and placement. My front teeth, both upper and lower, locked into place, straight and began pushing all my other teeth down. 2 by 2 they locked into place until I felt a solidifying sensation as they tightened down and I instinctively snapped them, feeling them come together, hearing them inside my head.

My eyes darted over and I saw my Aunt's teeth shifting in the front, going crooked. Her canines moved, followed by her front teeth.

I guessed hers had been the reverse of mine. Hers probably started in the back and pushed in as mine spread out.

I almost choked again as my tongue changed.

I wasn't prepared for it to suddenly spasm inside my mouth. It hit the backs of my teeth and saliva rushed in. My mouth tasted different. I stuck out my tongue and closed my left eye trying to see the tip of it before I stuck it fully out for the mirror. Sure enough, I looked different; wider and flatter.

I saw Aunt Allie sticking her tongue out too through tight lips, more of a childish, mocking type of tongue sticking out. She giggled.

And there we were, my face on her body and her face on mine. We were in this now. No stopping, no turning back. We couldn't go out like this; an adult face on the body of a kid or a kid's face on a mature, adult figure.

But this was the face I had wanted for so long and now it was mine. This was what I would see from now on in my mirror. What other people would see when talking with me.

My head started to itch. I glanced over to see Aunt Allie's smile and her green eyes looking back at me. The eagerness and happiness in those eyes convinced me yet again that we were absolutely doing the right thing.

Aunt Allie had her hands in her hair already. Her thick brown locks were getting messed up as she ran her fingers through her hair.

She got a few strands isolated and she brought them down into her field of vision. Her jaw dropped as they lightened and thinned between her fingers. Beyond the close up, in the mirror before her, she could see all of her hair lightening in color from dark brown to a lighter, reddish brown.

Her hair framed her smaller face differently. It was straighter, less styled, less effort. A haircut and style for an 11 year old as opposed to the professional cut and style she had been rocking.

"I spent 100 dollars on just my most recent haircut. That's not including my mani pedi" she said as her hands ran down her slick straight hair to their ends.

I let out a snorting laugh "wow haha! I think my Mom paid like, 20 bucks for my last cut"

"Oh you'll learn" she said and gave me a knowing look. It actually looked silly. My Aunt with her little girl features trying to look grown up.

"I think I'll look forward to it. I've always wanted a mani pedi" I replied as the itching intensified on my scalp.

Every hair follicle on my head widened as my hair thickened. Starting at my roots, a dark brown color started to take over, smoothly moving outward and down.

The hair in the front flipped out into my new style. The length of it came up; a touch of volume through layering took hold, delicate ends…all dark brown. "Ha!" I exclaimed as I shook my hair out.

I tugged at it just to feel it pull, reassuring myself that this actually was my hair.

More. I wanted more. Seeing my face and hair just made my heart yearn for what was to come. I wanted her whole body.

"Oh my" Aunt Allie said turning toward me, seeing and exploring my face and hair.

I looked down, anxious to see what else might be changing. I felt warm and tingly all over but when I held still, I didn't feel anything moving.

But she froze in place. Her little mouth formed an O and she suddenly looked down to the ground.

I saw her lift up her toes and spread them apart. Then, her toes started to shrink.

She squealed out in absolute delight "I can feel them moving!"

She wiggled them as they changed shape in addition to getting smaller. Her nails began to shift and flatten out and thin down "It feels like something is squeezing my toes down"

"Ohmygosh Aunt Allie! I can see them! They're getting smaller and my gosh they look just like mine!"

"I know! I know they do! But they're mine!" She replied "Oh…ooooohhhhh" she said still looking down. "There they go!" She added and we could both see the sides of her feet pulling in. Her heels slipped against the carpet as they pulled in. The skin smoothed out and turned soft and pink as they narrowed and shrunk down to size.

As hers shrank, I felt movement of my own. My heels started to grow outward. The outsides of my feet slipped outward as they spread wider. I could feel my heels rising up thicker. The skin there got a yellowish, white tint to it as my soles thickened.

"Oh holy shit that feels weird" I said shivering and laughing. As the changes reached the balls of my feet, they too widened and then my toes started growing.

I lifted them and staring down, I held my dark brown hair back as I spread my toes apart just as additional length started to push them out longer.

"Ohmygod. Oh. My. God." I said as my toes widened and grew bigger as well as longer. My nails thickened and spread out across my wider toes getting a lift as they grew more oval in shape. I was wiggling my Aunt Allie's toes. They were hers. They were mine. They were big and I knew exactly what they looked like. I had wanted these feet to be my own and now, they were. My muscles controlled their movements.  As I thought it, my toes did it. Drum up and down, they did. Big red painted toes that looked so hot in sandals and open toed heels. All mine! Thicker but sexy, mature, teasing feet. I was truly getting her body. It was starting with her feet, but it wouldn't end until it was all mine and I was entirely Allie. "She'll be calling me Aunt Allie " I thought.

Allie pressed her little toes down hard enough to turn the tips and knuckles white. "They’re so little haha!" She said bringing her foot up to her knee, flipping it sole side up so she could see the bottom of her foot. She ran her fingers over her toes and squeezed her foot with her hand "They’re so soft too. They’re still growing!" She laughed "Ohmygod I'm so young again that I'm still going to be growing! This is so unbelievable!"

"Yeah, I think you're going to get a few more inches taller but…you won't get back up to even your original 5'6" again"

"Oh that's fine with me. You can be taller than me!" Aunt Allie told me.

I was 5'1" at the moment. I might get to 5'3" naturally but with getting my Aunt's body, I get her extra height. It's not much but it takes me up higher than average. And then she wears like 3 and 4 inch heels a lot…

I closed my eyes for just a second picturing all of those heels on my feet. Her size 9s fitting me from now on.

I opened my eyes and confirmed that I still had her feet and she still had mine. She was still examining her own changed feet in wonder, her reddish brown hair dangled down as she pitched forward.

As she pulled her hair back to tuck it behind her ears, she shook out her hands "My hands fell asleep" she said. We both looked at each other.

"Hands are next" my Aunt said succinctly, looking at her own hands for the last time.

Her nails were manicured but unpainted, natural with some length to them. Bigger than my hands of course.

The thing was, they were the hands of an adult. A mature set of hands, not childish ones like mine. It really was a perfect match. The fact that I wanted to be an adult and she wanted to be a kid. I wanted to be her and she wanted to be me.

We got up close and both put our hands out, palms down, fingers splayed apart. Our eyes darted between our own hands and the other's ones as all four started to twitch.

But each twitch was actually the beginning of pulsations that started changing our hands.

My pulsation started to make my hands spread out while hers were beginning to shrink her hands down.

I couldn't help but smile; this was too amazing to take any of it for granted. My palms spread wider taking the backs of my hands out with them growing thicker.

I could feel the smile on my face as my fingers started straining to get larger. My nails thickened and lifted up into ovals shapes just as they began to lengthen out, covering the tips of my fingers with their extra length. My nails were sculpted and cared for, not the raggedy edges and unattended mismatched lengths.

Additional lines appeared on my fingers. The skin on the backs of my hands grew rougher.

I flipped them over in time to see the lines on my palms whirl and slide as the adjusted and changed length, digging in deeper too. Even my fingerprints changed.

All the while I was watching my hands changing, I could see my Aunt Allie's hands going through the opposite as they shrank down smaller and smaller as the changed into little kid hands.

Her palms were soft and pink. The backs were smooth and her fingers were so short and thin. Her little fingernails were thin and flat, ragged at the edges with my mismatched lengths to them. But of course, they were now her mismatched ends.

Aunt Allie balled her tiny little fingers up into fists, popping them back open to flip them over in time to watch in wonder as the lines shrank and rose up, taking on different lengths.

I glanced at her face, filled with childish glee,  so young and immature, the expression was one I could easily see her using often. Childlike wonder. It suited her so well. "Like she's absolutely supposed to be so much younger than me" I thought.

Once again it hit me "I can’t wait to have your body and your life.

My wrists popped. My ankles popped. I felt my arms start to shiver, my legs start to strain. My muscles twitched and I felt an overall tightness consume my body.

"Here it comes…a big one is coming" Aunt Allie said "Everything is twitching. I feel like a rubber band pulled all the way back about to go off" our eyes met "YOW!"

Aunt Allie yelped like she had been stung by a bee. I jumped back surprised and watched her eyes widen.

I also noticed movement again but this time, it was all over Aunt Allie's body. In half a beat, it hit me what was changing and what was happening to her body; she was shrinking.

Aunt Allie would never be as tall as she was at that moment ever again.

She knew it too. "Ohmygod I'm shrinking!" She yelled out doing a nervous little hop and shuffle. For the first time, I saw a different look on my Aunt's expression. A bit of fear and panic had made their way in amongst her joy and excitement.

"This is freaking me oooouuuuttttt!" She sounded shaky and nervous and she flapped her hands "This feels super weird! I'm getting shorter…that is….Aaaaahhhhh!"

I felt warmth building up, especially in my neck and shoulders. My leg muscles tightened and I heard faint pops coming from my own body and then, I started lifting up. I saw my Aunt drifting down in front of me while I was going in the opposite direction. Like someone sitting down as I stood up, but in slow motion.

I was an inch taller and she was an inch shorter and we were steadily going up and down. "We're switching heights with each other Aunt Allie! I'm going to be taller than you!"

"Yeah, um, from now on…I'll be the one looking up to you" Aunt Allie said trying to sound happy and confident but not doing well at faking it. She added a nervous laugh before letting our another quick "Yip"

She was inching down and we had just come up equal to one another in height and she shivered all over after her little outburst.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I'm still wanting this it's just…it feels so weird! My stomach is flipping like crazy and my legs and back are tickling and tingling so much!"

"It's okay Aunt Allie, I get it" I said feeling my whole body stretching out, pulling against itself like I was straining to reach something far away and actually managing to get closer to it.

"No…no I don't think you do this time. We're going opposite directions and I think mine is freaking me out waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy more than you growing is" she added nervously.

"It's okay. This will be done in a few more seconds and we'll be at our new heights and it'll all settle down…don't worry. Don't panic…"

"YAH!" She jumped and screamed again as she slid down shorter then me. "SORRY! Sorry, sorry…I'm sorry…" she grimaced and contorted her little childish face like she was focusing all her energy. She balled herself up and I could clearly see her back contracting downward. Her arms shuddered as they pulled back and her legs compressed down dropping her entire body closer to the floor.

I felt my shoulders spread, my back popped and my Aunt got further away from me. My eyes rose higher over her prone figure.

My leg muscles tightened and I could feel them stretching and lengthening.

My eyes searched around. The floor was farther away from my eyes. The room looked smaller to me. My Aunt looked smaller to me.

I saw her taking deeper breaths. She began to relax, she didn't look as tightly wound and finally she started to loosen up and straighten up. "Wow" she said sounding more like herself again "wooo…that was intense" she managed with a small chuckle.

She was still looking down at the ground. "Are you starting to feel better?" I asked her.

She nodded and put her hands on her hips. She was nodding softly as she turned toward me "whoa" she said flatly as she now regarded our new respective heights. Her jaw dropped "ah…you got tall!" She said enthusiastically, her eyes brightening again with energy and wonder.

I had to smile "Yep haha, I did! So nice of you to notice" I batted my eyes and dipped my chin to her.

Aunt Allie came up to my chin now. I was 5 inches taller than her.

We both quickly realized though that only our heights had swapped so far.

She was now a short but stacked woman. Losing 5 inches made her curvier, hourglass shaped, and it made her breasts look enormous.

I, on the other hand, looked like an even gawker kid. An extremely skinny body; I looked really weird. "I guess the curve and age are still to come" I said.

"Well duh…obviously! I sure can't pass for 11 with a body like this" she laughed.

"I won't pass for 34 with a body that shows no signs of puberty!" I laughed.

I looked her up and down "But I do like being this tall, that's for sure"

"Yeah, it suits you haha. Get used to it because you're stuck like that from now on" Aunt Allie told me and I couldn't be happier. I gave her a big, wide smile, squinting down my eyes in my joy.

Now that our proportions had swapped and were correct for us, we were both ready for what came next, actually switching bodies.

I could feel the warmth building up inside of me and so could Allie. My Aunt licked her lips, there was a look of eagerness and anticipation in her eyes.

My more mature face couldn't hide my feelings either but my eyes conveyed desire more than anything else.

Where in the last transformation, everything was stretched out bigger and longer, now my body began to bulge and blossom outward instead of upward.

"I feel weird Syd…like my muscles turned into spaghetti" Aunt Allie said shaking her arms.

As she shook them, they got skinnier and smaller. No fat, no muscle, just skin and bones.

Her little face lit up as she had kid arms all the way up. "Haha…they're so skinny! I had forgotten what it was like to have arms like this…kid arms!"

My upper arms twitched,  I swear I could hear my skin stretching as they filled out. I wrapped my right hand around my left bicep feeling an odd combination of fat and muscle, hard and soft, I couldn't get my fingers to reach my thumb around my upper arm anymore.

Even my forearms got bigger.

The arms turned out to be the easy part.

The rest of our bodies began to change kind of all at once. I felt things all over start to stretch and get bigger, jutting out or filling out.

My legs started to fill out. My calf muscles popped as they swelled up giving my a totally different looking lower leg. Gone were my skinny little skin and bones legs. Little bumps appeared though indicating that I needed to shave these legs very soon.

I looked over at my short little Aunt and saw her body deflating. Her hips and ass were diminishing quickly. It wasn't necessarily a smooth process either. It would hitch in places, stop and pop and she would jerk as her muscles spasmed and her fat drained away.

Her dress was fitting better and better though as she lost her curves.

Aunt Allie ran her hands over her hips as they pulled in, narrowing and slimming, a look of shock and joy on her face. She started giggling "That tickles!" She exclaimed as she craned her head and neck so she could look at her backside. Her perfectly round bubble butt was shrinking down and coming in.

She was able to actually pluck at her dress, pulling it up and away as her legs began to shrink too. Her thighs were starting to get skinnier now too.

"Ohmygod Sydney…I don't have an ass anymore!" She giggled "I'm going to be tiny!"

"Yes you will but I won't. I'm spreading out and growing like crazy over here"

"Good! You need some meat on those bones haha!" She replied eyeing me up and down "Starting to fill out quite nicely"

I could feel my thighs growing along with my ass as my hips strained. It was slow starting out but I could see it slowly working. My thighs did look thicker. My shorts were starting to come in contact with more of my body.

"Look at your legs Aunt Allie!" I shouted pointing at her skinny little calves "They look like sticks!"

"Haha…yep…they do!" Aunt Allie laughed as she looked down. She bounced her ankles together feeling no jiggling in her lower legs.

She shrugged her bony shoulders and grinned her crooked smile "I don't mind"

The sight of her threw me off. She was such a mixture of a woman and a child. I knew I was in a similar state but it really just felt like a true tipping point. Her body was pointing in the direction of adolescence yet it still had several womanly features prominently displayed.

Her thighs, hips and ass all continued getting smaller while mine were expanding.

Her dress was fitting pretty good. Her hips were almost straight up and down, just a little swell at the top remained. Her ass had flattened out, probably never to return to her previous proportions even after she went back through puberty. Her thighs now took the brunt of her changes.

Suddenly, underneath her dress, her thighs separated, surprising her into another fit of giggles.

Her legs thinned down, slimming her lower half down into that of an 11 year old girl.

Her face showed a round O of surprise as she lost all definition below the waist.

But I think the shock altogether may have been from also seeing my impressive growth spurt.

One second, I was just on the cusp. Everything was quivering, I could tell everything was building up. I could just sense it, feeling my body telling me it was coming. Then it hit me.  "Whoa!" I exclaimed "Holy Shit!" I added as my hips shot outward and my ass popped backwards, jiggling and bouncing outward.

Firm, perky, bouncy, pert, round…I shot my head around just in time to see my ass become that perfect bubble butt. My ass was perfect. It was so perfect…it was all mine.

I laughed as my thighs now grew rounder and filled out the leg holes of my shorts, growing tight as my smooth, firm legs filled out with just the right amount of curve.

I caught my Aunt just staring at my legs, just like I had used to stare at hers. "Now our roles are reversed" I said.

"Yeah…you can say that again" she said softly.

Aunt Allie's waist and stomach were coming in, caving inward. Her dress fluttered at her waist slightly but she still had a big change coming; actually two of them, but so did I.

My waist spread out and my stomach, while still flat, wasn't as flat. It was softer and bigger just like everything else.

I looked down at my chest. My tank top and bra were woefully empty, my chest was flat as a pancake.

Aunt Allie's eyes darted back and forth between my chest and her own. Her 36D breasts bulged out the front of her dress, very out of place with the rest of her body. Her nipples were erect and showing through the cotton fabric.

I yanked my red tank top and the empty nude bra out as far as I could take them, feeling the bra straps dig into my upper back.

Aunt Allie had sucked her lips in, pursing them down to nothing.

"Do you feel something?" I asked her.

She nodded, blushing hard "I feel a lot right now but yeah…" she looked down at her massive chest and nodded. She shivered all over and let out an "Ohmygosh! That tingling! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

Then, her pokey nipples pulled back, no longer pushing out the front of her dress and she gasped dramatically.

Her mounds began to shrink. Just getting smaller, her dress went down as they remained round "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh Sydney!" She cried out a they shrank down and away.

"Aunt Allie?!" I cried out just as I jerked forward. A surge hit my body and threw me forward. I shivered from head to toe and muttered a deep "Ohmygod"

I shot back up straight with my shoulders thrown back. I was still holding the straps of my shirt and bra, my hands gripped the fabric tightly in my fists "Mmmmmmmmmm!" I hummed as heat poured through me. My chest twitched and tingled as I angled my eyes down.

My nipples popped out and I gasped.

Then, flesh began to form up, building up and pushing my nipples outward.

Mass built up giving heft and size as they started rounding out from an initial cone shape.

My boobs were coming in, growing larger, heavier, and firm.

I felt slick skin touch the cups. Now filling up that bra. The sides pressed outward growing wider. I felt the bra take some of the weightload. I shuddered as the tops of my sensitive nipples brushed the front of the cups.

But there was no stopping. The nipples pressed in tighter as I gained more and more size and weight.

The cups were full. I felt eyes on me. Aunt Allie was watching as I filled up her bra and cleavage became apparent in the red tank top.

I released my death grip on the straps and lety clothes fit me.

Several tingles rippled through me, emanating from my chest as they settled down, slowing their growth while refining their shape.

My face was a shocked O. I looked over and screamed out seeing my Aunt had gone completely flat.

Aunt Allie jumped. She looked just like me.

That was when we exchanged another look. An "Oh Shit" look. We knew it. We both blushed as heat built up in both of our abdomen.

We stared into each other's eyes. Her face began to blur as the heat became more intense. I could tell she was feeling it too. Her hands went and pressed down but we never broke eye contact.

My mind blurred and I blacked out. I have no idea how much time passed.

"Sydney"

"Syd!"

"Allie"

"Allison!"

It sounded like I was underwater. It felt like I was underwater.  I felt a hand on my arm shaking me. Then, it hit me and I sucked in a gasping deep breath and my eyes shot open.

Everything was different. I felt really shaky on my feet and I started to crumble.

The hand shaking me grabbed my arm tighter but couldn't keep me up and I felt her give way trying to steer me to the nearby bed.

My knees gave out and I slumped onto the bed.

"Come on…get it together, you're good" I heard a girl's voice say. My vision was still blurry but I made out movement of someone smaller than me, a girl, hovering around me "I know it's a lot and it's like, totally overwhelming but c'mon! Snap out of it!"

So many things were competing for attention in my mind that I was overwhelmed.

My hand went to my crotch as thoughts flooded me. Sexual thoughts.

Then so many more thoughts flooded through like a dam had broken and I sat up.

Focusing my eyes widened upon seeing, well, myself standing over me. "Aunt Allie?! Is that you?!"

She started smiling and laughing and jumping up and down "Haha! You're back! And YES! YES! YES! It's me in here! I'm in your body! We did it! We switched places!" She then squealed like only a prepubescent girl could.

I sat up adjusting to how my body moved. The extra height, the swaying of my chest…everything.

I grabbed my tits and squeezed them. "Oh my God" I chuckled, cringing forward.

I slapped my thighs and I hopped up craving to see my ass. "I'm you! I mean, I'm me haha! I'm Allison! I…I have your body…and your…your mind and, and your…"

She laughed an evil laugh as I blushed and she nodded and smirked "You've got everything that comes with that body and being 34 years old" we looked at each other before going berserk.

We screamed and squealed and bounced around. We grabbed each other and examined everything. We fussed over each other's features and voices and clothes. I marveled at my education and all the new things I knew all while apologizing to her for taking it away from her but she seemed more than happy to have given it up to me.

Finally, we just found ourselves standing there, hands wrapped around each other's forearms, smiling at each other.

"We did it" I said "I knew we could"

"I wasn't as sure as you were but…" she backed up to look down at herself "I can’t argue with the results haha. You were right and you convinced me"

I looked around the room "This is your room"

She nodded proudly.

"I will never forget this! I am so grateful and so happy" she said.

"I was thinking the exact same thing" I laughed.

"That’s awesome Aunt Allie" she said beaming.

"Thank you Syd" I replied, seeing how happy it made her.

We hugged again and finally left her room, venturing back out into the living room and kitchen.

I couldn't get enough of seeing her as Me. She kept watching me too. I smiled as I grabbed my purse and put in my sandals "Who wants ice cream? I'm driving and buying!"

"Oh you're on!" She replied quickly, hopping into flip flops and following me out the door.

"Thanks for watching Syd again this weekend" my sister Megan says from the doorway as my niece pushes her way into my apartment, full backpack slung on her shoulders.

"No problem sis. We're going to have a great time the next few days…relax. Don't worry about us"

"Oh I never do. You too have a bond, that much is for sure"

We exchange a look while my sister talks.

I shift my weight from foot to foot trying not to show how eager I am for her to leave but I know she has a flight to catch. Soon enough she's saying goodbye and I close the door.

I turn around once the door is closed to see my niece sitting on my kitchen counter, skinny legs swinging back and forth and the biggest smile on her face.

"So Aunt Allie…what are we going to do this weekend?" She asks with her right eyebrow shooting up.
