It was Patricia I swapped with that fateful day. It was weird you know. I always admired Patricia. She was so feminine, so lady-like. She was always so calm and collective, the perfect woman to be. Someone I aspired to be.
But things turned out different than I thought it would.
I made my way to the Fulton's house which wasn't very far away. I heard Emma calling out to Patricia that morning that she was going to be late because of a meeting with some important clients. That left only Patricia to try the device out with.
I went straight to the back of their house as I usually did. The backdoor was always open. Outside I could already smell the freshly baked cookies smell.
"Hey Vic." Patricia greeted me as she turned out. She looked as lovely as always. Her long dark hair was in a ponytail as she usual wore her hair during baking. A pearly necklace was hanging on her neck. She was wearing a white summerdress showing off a little cleavage with white flip flops.
"Hi Pat." I said back to her. "So are they ready?" I asked looking at the oven.
"Not yet, I just put them inside. So what are you doing here this early?" Patricia asked me confused.
I told her about the remote that appeared while I slept. While Patricia thought it must have been a joke, I was thinking something else.
"Aliens, who else?" I asked Patricia after which I took a sip from my tea.
"Aliens? In our little town? I don't think they would visit this place." Patricia shook her head as she took a sip of her coffee.
"How do you explain this remote falling into my lap then?" I asked her holding it up.
"I don't know, perhaps your father threw it to you, or your mother?" Patricia suggested it, but I didn't give up.
"Why would they do that? This remote doesn't make any sense and I don't think my mom and dad would just throw it to me without telling me anything about it." I told Patricia to which she nodded while deep in thougth.
"I suppose so. But what does it do, actually?" Patricia asked trying to move this conversation somewhere else.
"I don't know, there are a lot of things it does. But here's a thing I wanted to try out with you, body and life swap." I pointed out.
"A body and life swap? You mean switching bodies and lives? I don't know Vic, why would you want to swap bodies and lives with me?" Patricia asked me.
"Because you're one of the kindest women I know, not to mention one of the most beautifull ones." I told her.
"Oh Vic, you're making me blush like this." Patricia said turning a little red after this.
"It's true, I would love to try out your life for once. And besides you get to try out my life." I told her.
"That would be great, I could use a little break." Patricia said thinking about something. "Not something serious." She added looking at me with a friendly smile. "I just could use a break."
"Okay, let's do it then." I said holding out the remote and pushing the swap body + life button on the remote. One moment I was pushing the button, the next I felt my hand holding a coffee cup. Not to mention my whole body felt different. I felt I had grown an inch, my bust felt larger and my feet were inside flip flops. Opposite me, Patricia was staring back at me inside my body.
"Patricia, is that you?" I asked her to be sure.
Patricia answered....
