I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling as the two of them browsed through the catalogues for outfits that they'd love to have without having to pay for, scanned the pictures, and printed out more pictures of the outfits on their bodies. Well, at least thats what I thought they were doing, until Karyn piped up: "Jon... who is Feiyan?"
Immediately, my eyes went wide, and I sat up with an indignant shout. "Hey! Those are none of your..." Unfortunately, I had sat up to come face to face with the most intimate picture my friend Feiyan from Malaysia had ever sent me, and I could feel my body changing. Before long, I had become the spitting image of her: an 18 year old Chinese girl with long, dark brown hair and stunning brown eyes. On top of that, I was stark naked. I could feel the goosebumps forming on my newly pale skin as I pulled my knees tightly to my chest, doing my best to cover up. Glaring at my giggling friends, I barely managed to tell them how much I hated them.
Emily barely managed to stop giggling long enough to make a pitifully contrived attempt to console me. "Relax, Jon... at least you're cute!" Somehow, this didn't make me feel much better.
Karyn waggled a finger at me jokingly. "Thats what you get for having that kind of smut on your computer, Jon..."
"Its not smut... you can't even see anything in that picture. Its tasteful and arty..." I retorted.
Emily scrolled through the folder to see that I had about two dozen pictures of Feiyan just from the few months I've known her. "Wow, does she have as many pictures of you as you do of her?" I gave a nod. We always made sure to make even trades on the pictures.
Karyn wrapped a blanket around me. "Well, you know what..." she said, turning back to look at Emily. "I really don't feel like doing this right now. We have a few days to do the shopping... why don't we have a girls' night out?"
Emily's eyes lit up. "Yeah! It'll be just like when we were kids.. except Jon'll be a girl for real this time!"
I could feel myself blushing again. "Fine... I know there's no arguing, since Karyn probably won't let me be me again if I don't agree..."
Karyn grinned at me. "You got that right!"
I sighed. Emily was in the process of printing out a picture of Feiyan with an attractive outfit on. If only I'd known what the night had in store for me...
