People who hadn't been affected by the body swapping phenomenon were told to evacuate, and people who were affected by the phenomenon were told to go home. But not everyone went home, as it turned out.
Eric Lanton, still in the wedding gown he found himself in after he swapped, sat in one of the pews of the church. After he had swapped, the groom, priest, and several other people touched him, causing themselves to swap with other people. And now, after at least an hour, the bride and groom were back at the altar. It was really strange to see himself up there, getting married to what appeared to be a whore (probably from the brothel out on 38th Street - not that Eric knew anything about that, being a married man). But the person who looked like Eric was actually the bride and the person who looked like the whore was actually the groom. He remembered how freaked out the whore was when she found herself dressed in a tuxedo and standing in a church. She said that she was having sex with someone when the swap happened. Eric was sure that the groom wasn't too happy with the swap either, maybe even more so.
"You may now kiss the bride," the thin geeky-looking girl said.
The groom leaned in and kissed the bride, wincing a bit. Sure, they loved each other. But they never imagined that their wedding would go like this.
Adam White stared at his reflection in the mirror. After he had finally made it back to his dorm room, he had locked the door and just sat there, staring. He got stopped twice on his way up to the third floor, and those people had immediately swapped with someone else. He didn't want to cause any more trouble like that, which is why he locked himself in his dorm room. He didn't even allow his roommate to get in.
The girl in the mirror was totally hot, especially with the outfit she was wearing. He knew that tons of these swaps were happening all around town (causing a mass evacuation), but there was nothing "business-as-usual" about this. He still had a hard time wrapping his brain around it.
Would he stay like this for the rest of his life? Was there any way to reverse it, to get his own body back? Would he always have to wear girl's clothes? He hoped not. The clothes may have looked good on the girl, but they looked terrible and totally out-of-place on himself. But, of course, everyone but him saw him as a girl, not a guy.
He sighed.
