The Switch—Part 1

I woke with a strange sensation. Oh no, I really gotta pee. Ugh. Why do I have to wake up? I ask myself. It was then I started to realize what the strange sensation was and where it was coming from. Something was in my pants. I rip the covers off and notice I’m in a pair of boxers I have never seen before. I pull them down and—

“What the holy living fuck is this??? I grew a penis!!” I shout at the top of my lungs. Suddenly the phone on the side table starts ringing. I glance at it and notice my name.

“H-Hello?”

“Well it looks like we are in some deep shit now you bitch,” the voice exclaimed harshly. It sounded an awful lot like my voice.

“Who is this? What is going on? This isn’t funny!”

“I thought it was pretty funny to wake up in your body this morning. Are you enjoying being a man? Oh, come on have you looked in the mirror yet?”

“N-Not yet. I’m going now hang on.” I walk to a mirror hanging on the closet door. My stomach turns in knots.

“Recognize the body you are in?”

“Scott. What the hell is going on?”

“Well Rachel, I don’t know. Trust me, the last person I wanted to wake up inside of was you. No offense.”

“I’m coming over. Where do you keep your car keys?”

“Should be in the pants on the floor.”

I hang up on Scott and rush to get dressed. What was going on? I’m Rachel. I’m a normal woman with a normal life. Why am I in my ex-husband’s body? This is crazy. I get in the car and drive to my apartment.

Scott stood watching himself in the mirror as he examined the body he had mysteriously woke up in. Man, what is taking her so long? My house isn’t far from this crummy ass apartment complex. A knock at the door interrupts his examining.

“Ah, Rachel. Can you tell me what the hell is going on here?”

“Well, I wish I knew! What were you doing last night?”

“Well aside from working I had a dinner date. After dinner is a blank. The last thing I remember was dropping my credit card for the bill, then I woke up to this.”

“There has to be some logical explanation for this.”

“Well miss smartypants what were you up to last night?”

“If you must know I was watching Lifetime most of the night. I fell asleep during My Crazy Ex and then woke up in your bed. As you.”

“Well isn’t this some real Freaky Friday shit...”

What am I going to do? I can’t be stuck in his body. “Shit I have to call into work. You have to call into work for me!”

“Why? Can’t I go do your job? No sense in you losing a day.”

“You can’t do my job you don’t even like animals!” I work at a doggy daycare part-time.

“Oh come on it can’t be that difficult. Lucky for you my work can be done remotely. I just need you to call Jerry and tell him that you are going out of town for a few days. Buy us some time to get this shit figured out.”

“Fine, but I’m going with you. I can’t afford to have you lose my job. I’m the only one scheduled today so it will be easy to keep an eye on you.” I really don’t want to babysit Scott. What choice do I have?

“Fine by me sweetheart, maybe I won’t have to work after all.” Scott goes into the bathroom and shuts the door. Shit. What in the hell is going on? How can we switch back?
