Allison was confused. Shortly after she and Jenna left the break room that morning they had heard the scream. Jenna insisted on investigating saying it sounded like Penny, but Allison didn't know anyone that worked here named Penny. When they pushed through the crowd around Mr. Johnson's office she was speechless. There on the floor had lain an identical Jenna, save for the clothing she wore. Jenna asked Allison to help keep the crowd out while she tried to wake Penny.
Several people were gossiping outside the door.
"Is she going to be alright?"
"I wonder what happened? That scream..."
"Damn, that was hot, seeing Penny lying on the floor like that."
"Geez, have a little respect man."
"Well can you blame me? I've been waiting for a moment like this ever since she started working for Mr. Johnson 8 months ago. Yeah, Jenna is just as hot and was already here, but something about Penny just exudes sex."
"God, would you stop talking about her like a piece of meat! Jeez!"
Seeing that Penny was now awake and stirring Allison tried to clear out the crowd. "Ok, guys, show's over, you've seen enough. She seems ok, so let the girl have some peace."
Reluctantly the crowd started to disperse, even the stragglers eventually left after an evil eye from Allison. Unfortunately, the mystery was only deepening for Allison. Somehow this girl, Penny, had been working as Mr. Johnson's assistant for 8 months and she hadn't even noticed. And what about that other girl, Susan? Wasn't she supposed to be Mr. Johnson's secretary?
Allison walked over to one of the cubes across from Mr. Johnson's office. A young woman in marketing, Katie Angstrom, was sitting there. "Excuse me, Katie. Have you seen Susan Tanner around?"
"Who?"
"You know, Mr. Johnson's secretary." Katie's face screwed up momentarily as if she were trying to place the name Allison told her.
"Oooh, I remember her, you mean the girl he had before Penny? She hasn't worked for the company since she was laid off 8 months ago. She's not back now is she?"
"Umm, I guess not. Thanks though." This was very strange. Allison was sure she had seen Susan when she came in this very morning. Where did she go and where did this Penny come from?
Back by the door, Allison noticed that Jenna had walked inside of Mr. Johnson's office. Seeing this as an opportunity to find out more she knocked and opened the door. "Hi, Penny?"
Penny looked up and smiled. "Oh hi, Allison. How's it going?"
"I'm fine... I think. I'm sorry, you know me?" Allison asked.
"Of course I do... er, ah, at least I think I do. You don't know me?" The woman seemed shocked and yet excited at this revelation.
"No, I've only seen your sister before today and I've worked here the last 7 years."
Allison could see the wheel churning in Penny's head before she spoke up, "Do you remember Peter Parker?" Such a simple question, Allison couldn't understand where this was leading.
"Of course I remember Peter, I just spoke to him in the break room less than an hour ago."
Penny's face lit up at this, she was practically beaming. "You remember! Oh, Allison, you remember! Everyone else only remembers Penny but somehow you still remember me!"
Allison cocked her head at the girl, she was sounding crazy. "What do you mean, Penny?"
"Allison, I'm not Penny, I'm Peter! Somehow I got changed into this." Penny/Peter said while gesturing down at her body. She then went on to explain to Allison everything that happened.
The story was incredulous, people didn't just randomly turn into someone else. Allison started looking around the room. "Okay, very funny, you got me. Now where are the cameras?"
"Allison, I'm serious, what do I have to do to prove..." Penny/Peter was cut off mid-sentence as the door to Mr. Johnson's office slowly began to open. There was a bright light in the room and everyone closed their eyes momentarily.
Allison felt strangely different somehow, but she couldn't quite place it. As she opened her eyes, she could see Jenna now staring at her, having just slammed shut Mr. Johnson's door.
"What the hell?" was all Jenna could say.
