Returning to Kurt and Elma’s house, the family once again gathered together following the last dinner they had in their new bodies. This final meal was always a part of the tradition as everyone would go around and share what they learned from the experience. Most of the time, these experiences boiled down to realizing how different and potentially hard someone else’s life was but sometimes there were very interesting ideas. One year, Ben’s pregnant aunt participated and when they had their final meal, she talked about embracing motherhood and how the swap made her want to be a mother even more.
The family was now gathered in the living room as this part was a bit shorter than the first time they gathered. There was no need to draw from a hat for names as everyone knew what body they had to return to. Pulling out the stone, Max took charge, similar to how Elma had taken charge at the beginning when announcing the swaps.
“Alright everyone, I hope you all had a lovely time in your new bodies. You all know what comes next so let’s kick off the swapping,” Max announced as he handed the magical stone to Amanda, just like how Elma had done the same thing with Kurt a month earlier.
The entire process was the exact same as everyone had their bodies shuffled around until they got back into the body that they belonged to. Coming back to his own body, Ben felt a bit different as one month away from it would do that kind of thing. He was so used to feeling his sister’s breasts on his chest and her long hair rubbing against the back of his neck as now he felt a bit like a fish out of water. Ben sat there and attempted to adjust to his body as the entire family did the same thing. Soon, Elma stood up, deciding to make her final announcement.
“Alright everyone, that marks the end of this year’s Body Exchange! Wooooo!” Elma said, attempting to make this an exciting moment. Immediately, everyone began to talk with each other as there was now plenty to talk about. You could talk to whoever had your body and ask how that experience was while also talking to whoever’s body you had and talk about that experience with them. This was the exact reason the Body Exchange existed as it brought everyone together like this. It was beautiful to watch.
