Jon took an uber over to the Lake Valley Ritz-Carlton hotel. He was nervous but excited to get to experience the fantasy he'd used the stone to create. His family's mutual excitement for it had surprised him at first but he reasoned it was just an affect the stone had on them. Getting out of his uber he made his way into the plushly carpeted lobby of the Ritz. The concierge was looking down his nose at him as he approached.
"Can I help you, sir?" the man's voice dripped with derision. It was obvious that he'd sized Jon up as someone who had no business in such an establishment. For his part Jon fumbled and held the paper bearing Melody Winter's name out for the man to see. The concierge's demeanor instantly changed to deferential, after all this boy was about to become one of their VIP guests.
"Understood, you're in the penthouse suite. Please take this temporary keycard and remember to reclaim your actual keycard once you make the exchange Ms. Winters" Jon gaped for a moment at the man's utter change in attitude, but grabbed the offered card and made his way to the elevators. Since the penthouse took the entirety of the top floor, the elevator opened directly into its living room, and required you to scan the requisite keycard for the elevator to go to that floor. So, armed with the temporary card from the front desk, Jon soon found himself stepping into the luxurious penthouse suite belonging for the week to Melody Winters.
For her part Melody Winters had been taking a moment to relax, curled up on the sofa, reading a good book. Since her victory at Tokyo last year she'd been on a whirlwind publicity tour, taking her all across the United States. For the week she'd be here in Lake Valley, doing a few appearances ahead of her receiving an honorary doctorate from Ivy College's Sports Medicine program on Friday. She was used to the travel, Tokyo had been her third Olympics, but she was glad she had nothing scheduled for the rest of the day and could take some time to herself. Unfortunately for her, she wouldn't be herself for much longer. She looked up from her book at the sound of the elevator, confused as only her manager had another key and she didn't think she'd be coming back by after their lunch meeting.
Instead she found herself face to face with an average looking teenage boy, standing there in a white teeshirt, cargo shorts and ratty gray hoody. Confused, she put on her usual winning smile and asked, "Hello, may I ask what you're doing here?"
Jon had a moment of internal panic as he stared at the world famous woman before him. Would she understand the rules of the game since she wasn't a resident of the town? He forced his nerves down, deciding to trust in the power of the stone.
"I'm here to exchange identities. I'm going to be Melody Winters for the next week."
Melody's first reaction was to laugh, and her second was to call security since this kid was clearly some deranged fan, but she found herself unable to move her arms to grab her phone. Fear started to set in, but she tried to deflect with humor.
"You're going to be Melody Winters? Aren't people going to think you're a bit out of shape for an Olympian?"
Jon stepped forward. "Everyone's going to think I'm Melody Winters, because that's who'll I be. And what are you talking about? Of course I'm in shape, I've won 17 gold medals and renowned world wide for my beauty. You're the muscle-less highschooler. Now please get out of my clothes."
Melody again wanted to call for help but found herself unable to, unknowingly being manipulated by the magic of the stone. Against her will she stood up from the couch and began to do as Jon had requested. She hadn't been planning on going out today, so she was dressed in fairly comfortable if high-end clothes. First she rolled of her deep blue yoga pants, setting them in a pile by the couch. This was followed by her orange tank top, emblazoned with the logo of her personal charity. She stood there in her underthings, confused and terrified by the course of events but unable to stop. Her expensive bra from Barney's came off next, letting her b-cup breasts hang free. She then found herself pulling off her matching panties.
"Why are you doing this? How are you doing this?" She asked desperately.
"I'm not doing anything. You're getting out of the clothes of Melody Winters since you shouldn't be wearing them. They should be worn by Melody Winters and that's me." Jon declared, emboldened once Melody started going along with his commands. Melody continued to strip away her identity, first removing her diamond stud earrings, then the gold pendant necklace she was wearing. Both were set on the coffee table by the sofa. Finally she only had one last identifier of her identity on her, her engagement ring. Her fiance Tiffany Summers, an English guitarist for a famous band, had proposed to her with it at the end of the games. Tiffany and Melody were both something of LGBT icons, and their relationship had made shock waves around the world. Both of them had to travel a lot for their work, but after this week they'd be able to spend some quality time together at their home in LA. However her love proved no match for the compulsion of the wishing stone and she set the large diamond down next to her other jewelry.
Jon stalked forward, becoming more excited as his fantasy came closer to fruition. He quickly discarded his clothes and prepared to take Melody's for his own. He slid the warm black panties up his legs, and then picked up the accompanying bra.
"Would you be a dear and fasten this for me?" Melody wanted to protest, but found herself forced to help Jon navigate the bra, teaching him how to attach it in the process. He already looked ridiculous in her opinion, no one would believe he was Melody Winters. She wasn't boastful, but frankly she was stunning with a svelte form, doe like brown eyes and flowing golden hair. Suffice to say Jon looked nothing like her. Unknown to her, the same magic that was making her go along with the game, would make the world act as if Jon had that appearance as well.
Jon then slipped on the yoga pants and tanktop, feeling odd but good as he donned Melody's outfit. He reached for the earrings and paused for a moment, before realizing that his ears were indeed pierced. Apparently since he'd wished for the game to be an established thing, he'd already pierced them for when he drew someone who wore them. He placed the earnings in and attached the necklace around his neck. He smiled when he picked up the ring, and perhaps cruelly put it on his ring finger directly in front Melody.
"You shouldn't be wearing that" Melody bit out.
"Of course I should. My fiancee proposed to me with it after I dominated the Olympics, you really should watch the news Jon. Now let's exchange notes and you can help walk me through my make-up so I can send you on your way. This suite is for Olympians only" John finished with a smirk.
