The Body Swap Tale of Two Royal Siblings

 

Elena: Have I told you the story of Zakaria's fall?
Daughter: No, mother.
Elena: So listen carefully, it happened in 103 year, over a thousand years ago, when Kohel didn't yet exist. Zakaria was a small and wealthy state. The Shah who ruled the kingdom had four children, among those whom there was a power struggle. The exception was his eldest child, Kameela, who, as a woman, could not rule. Saleel, the Shah's youngest son, was also far from power. 
Until one day, Kameela, through some unknown sorces, acquired earrings that could perform a body swap between two people. Then she made a bet with her brother, who believed that as the youngest, he had the hardest time, to see which of them had it harder. 
Eventually, her brother gave in and they swapped bodies.  The swap was supposed to last a week, but on the very first day of the swap, tragedy struck. Sultan Izzat of Sinai sultanate attacked Zakaria. The attack was so sudden and swift that within a day, the Sultan's army conquered the entire country. The Shah and his two eldest sons were killed, while Kameela, in Saleel's body, fled with the rest of the army into the mountains, and the earrings were lost. Saleel, in his sister's body, was less fortunate. The Sultan, overjoyed with his victory, gave "Kameel" to his general, Thaamir, as a slave.

 Saleel knew he was trapped. He couldn't reveal his identity because he would be beheaded. However, in his sister's body, he had only a few options. He was saved by the fact that he was now a woman, so he posed no threat to the government. General Thaamir decided to make her his harem dancer. Saleel initially resisted, but with various incentives, such as whips, he quickly began to learn, and within a year, he became the general's favorite dancer.  General loved to display her as a trophy in front of others, especially since he himself had ambitions thoughts to ascend the throne, thoughts which he shared with his "foolish" dancer. Neither he nor the sultan knew that real Kameel was planning a return.

 Kameel managed to contact her brother in her body, and the two hatched a plot to reclaim their country. They set out to set the general and the sultan at selfdestruction, leading them to civil war. Saleel was tasked with convincing the general, which he willingly did; after all, he was responsible for the conquest of his country, torturing her, and forcing her to be his ornament. The general may have been a genius in war, but at court, he was a complete loser, easily falling for Saleel's smiles and slight gestures, practically eating out of Kameel body hand, even in public.  So he easily succumbed to "Kameel's" suggestion to start a war with the Sultan of Izzat and seize the crown himself. The war was short, though it cost many soldiers, but ultimately, General Thaamir seized the throne of Sinal.

P4. 

Formerly a general, now Sultan Thaamir reveled in his victory, admiring the dances of his favorite dancer. He was unaware that Saleel had thoroughly explored the castle and all the secret passages, and had passed this on to real Kameel when she brought in the assassins. Thaamir, seeing Kameel's body performing a victory dance for him, was the last he saw when the assassin plunged a knife into his body. Taking advantage of the confusion in the palace, Saleem fled with the assassins. Soon after, power struggles broke out in Sinal sultanate between warlords, which Kameel exploited to start a full scale rebellion and reclaim the country. Afterward, she in her brother body became Shah Zakaria, and Saleem in sister body became her advisor. The earrings were lost, so they never recovered their bodies.  So to the world, it was Saleel, not Kameel, who led the rebellion that liberated them, until it became part of Kohel 800 years later. The end.

When the Gender Wave Rewrites a Couple’s Future

 
Jared Cotton and his girlfriend, Coraline Rollins, were the perfect couple; he was a football star, she a gymnastics star. They considered themselves the perfect couple, and even the gender wave couldn't change that. Coraline Rollins became Cade Heath, and from gymnastics star, she became part of the football team, while Jared Cotton became Jessica Porter, and from football star, she became part of the volleyball team. They didn't want to let their relationship fall apart, but the problem was their new roles. Neither knew anything about the other. They managed to find a way, and they began teaching each other. Jessica taught Cade how to play football, and Cade taught Jessica how to play volleyball. While she wasn't a professional, she had been on the school team in middle school, so she knew a thing or two. It wasn't without its challenges, though Cade picked up the rules of football much faster than Jessica the rules of volleyball.  They often chose the beach as their training spot because there was no one there. Jessica was surprised by how quickly Cade was able to learn the proper moves and quickly surpassed her, because although she had the skills, her current body had certain shortcomings. At the same time, they were both so excited that they gazed at each other with sparking eyes. Jessica was surprised by how quickly her perspective changed and couldn't tear her eyes away from Cade's beautiful muscles, especially when he not only learned the basics of football but also seemed to be surpassing her. This excited her quite a bit. Especially since the Wave had also changed their wardrobe, and they didn't see the point in looking for new clothes since they were already adapted to their bodies. Jessica was actually excited by how quickly Cade was picking up the rules of football and hoped it would be the same with her and volleyball, but also that in the meantime, she would find time for something more, even on this beach.


P2

Marcus Porter looked enviously at his sister, Jessica. She was trying on a swimsuit for her date with her boyfriend.  He couldn't believe that when he was a woman, he has an A cup for some natural reason. His sister, after the wave, had breasts that practically spilled out of her swimsuit, as they were now. Jealousy flooded him as she watched Jessica easily embrace her womanly side, though her poorly styled hair clearly indicated there was still plenty of man left in it. Markus knew he shouldn't feel so jealous since everything was going well for him in his new life. He even had a girlfriend with a guy she'd previously been afraid to approach. Now, as a guy herself, she felt a new courage and approached him, and now they were a couple. Jessica, on the other hand, had always been a star as a man, always drawing attention to herself, whether as a champion on the court or having the most beautiful girl in school, who was a champion herself. Now that situation had changed, and Jessica was no longer a star. Although she can play volleyball, she's no longer the best, and it's clear she can't count on being a star.  At the same time, he was surprised by how much hid a macho man former brother now embracing her feminine side. She wondered what could be swirling in her sister's mind that made her so aroused by simply going to the pool with her boyfriend. He was also curious who was the dominant party in this relationship, though he had to admit he had no idea who was the dominant party in their previous relationship, but he assumed it was probably his brother, now sister.

Cade looked at Jessica with almost hypnotized eyes, at her muscular physique, her good moves, complemented by her wardrobe. He knew he'd always preferred skimpy outfits on both men and women, and if he were to believe that these were clothes he hadn't bought but "inherited" from his female self, then he had similar tastes in this world. They were celebrating his first victory on the court, where he practically reigned supreme; some even thought Cade was better than Jared. In his modesty, he didn't want to think about it.  Or the fact that he was being asked to take up football professionally after high school – after all, it was only one match at a time. Jessica, on the other hand, was so thrilled that after the match, she kissed him French-style for an hour, with tongue, something they'd never done before, even before the wave.

"So, what do you think? Not sexy enough?" Jessica asked Cade.

"On the contrary, honey," Cade said.

"You're sweet, now I can't wait for my match, I have a feeling I'll be a star."

"Ah, uhm, have you considered modeling? That's also an option." Cade sugessted

"Maybe when I have free time after volleyball," Jessica said enthusiastically.

Cade didn't want to spoil her world and suggested modeling. This was because he'd seen their practices, and Jessica was...just average as a volleyball player, he not promise her a good career.

Noah took photos of Jessica at the request of Cade. He used to be a cheerleader, but now he's a photographer, and she's really good at it and even enjoys it.
Noah took photos of Jessica to send them to a modeling agency. This was at Cade's request, as he was worried about his girlfriend's volleyball career. Noah wasn't surprised. He had taken photos of her in several games, and Jessica was generally an average volleyball player at best, but she still considered herself the star of the team. So he and his friend came up with the idea of launching a modeling career for her. He and Cade had known each other for a long time, were friends, but they were also both rivals for Jared. Ultimately, Noah, or rather Nelly at the time, gave it up for the sake of friendship. Before Wave, Noah was a cheerleader and a bit of a queen bee. After Wave, unlike most of her teammates, she didn't join the football team, nor did she join other male sports teams, but it seemed that in this life, she was a bit of a nerd and a member of the photography club.  At first, she wasn't happy with it until she discovered that she not only had talent for it but also loved taking photos—perhaps even more than cheerleading. She also had to admit that he felt a slight attraction to Jessica, but he wanted to and decided to be loyal to his friend. And at his request, they also did these photo shoots, which he will send to a modeling magazine.

And at his request, they also did these photo shoots, which I'll send to a modeling magazine, period. Sam also plans to become a professional photographer after high school, so this would also be a way of sending his business card to others. As for Jessica, he had to admit that he was amused by how oblivious she was. Jared wasn't exactly bright himself. After all, he only got good grades because of his football results, but he was still surprised by how scatterbrained Jessica was; sometimes I even thought it was an act she was putting on in front of the audience. I truly believed she was a great volleyball star, so against his advice, she wanted to pose for photos with the ball and in volleyball poses. She believed it herself, because Noah had said they would be for a sports magazine.  He was actually curious how she would react when she found out her boyfriend didn't believe in her volleyball success.

Jessica had just gotten ready for prom. She liked the dress she'd chosen and was curious how her boyfriend would react. After all, it was their last time in high school. After all, Cade would use his athletic scholarship to start trying out for professional football and the NFL. When a career as a football star's girlfriend and a model awaited her. She decided to give up her volleyball career, though she was confident. Unfortunately, she wasn't blind to results either, and she knew she wasn't as talented in volleyball as she was in football. She was still the best on the team, of course, but it wasn't good enough to earn the required athletic scholarship and become a professional volleyball player. Fortunately, she had a great boyfriend, and he set her up for a modeling career after the fashion magazine submissions came in.  She was surprised because, after all, she was taking photos for a sports magazine, but Cade and Noah explained that they'd sent the photos to every magazine and only the model's ones had been accepted. It was clear the sports magazines had dropped in quality. 
She was surprised by how great she would look in that dress now. Her brother tried to convince her to wear something more modest. But why would she even hide such a beautiful body? The advantage of women's clothing was that it allowed for much more revealing than as a man, which always frustrated her as boy. So she posed and lightly danced to Kat Perry's "Hot n Cold." The post-Wave version was a bit more rap-like. She couldn't wait to be named prom queen and king with her boyfriend. It was something she'd been thinking about since she was a boy, but he hadn't given it the same importance as he does now. And after the party was over, she hoped her boyfriend would rip off her dress and do what he does best, outside of football. P.S.  Yes, she became prom king and queen with her boyfriend and went on to a successful modeling career. She can fully acknowledge that the Gender Wave was a complete blessing for her and Cade.

The heir swap with maid

 Dylan Chalker was a young and arrogant 20-year-old rich heir who loved tormenting people, especially their family new maid, Anna, who was Latina. Whenever she arrived, he would deliberately throw things away and order her to clean up. The look of irritation on her face only amused him more. However, the fun ended when a strange electrical surge occurred. When he awoke, he found himself in the maid's body. Moreover, he picked up her accent; she had found herself in his body, and seeing the new situation, she decided to take advantage of this and ordered Dylan, in his new body, to clean up. He resisted, but when she threatened him with dismissal and that if he listened, she would try to find a way out, he reluctantly agreed. However, he had no intention of staying in this body and was certain it was only temporary.  He wouldn't let the maid take his life.

25 years later
Ana Sofia was cleaning up the mess left by Mr. Chalker's children. She loved them as if they were her own, but they could use a little discipline. As with her four children, although each was from a different marriage, they knew how to stay calm, and it wasn't a problem that each had a different father. Especially since they didn't have much for themselves, their home being the property of Mr. Chalker, who had provided it for them when she was pregnant with her second child. However, she was grateful that she was menopausal and wouldn't have any more children. She also hoped that her fifth marriage, this time to Alberto, would be the one that would last longer. Mr. Dylan Chalker and his wife had just entered, exchanged a few words, and then the maid went to another room. Daniel then turned to the maid.

"Anna, can we talk for a moment?"

"Of course, sir," she said with a thick Latin accent that had only deepened over the years.  

"So, although it took years, I think we finally managed to create the possibility of switching bodies back." Said Mr. Chalker

"Que? When it came out?" asked suprised Ana

"Just like I said 25 years ago, I'd try to find a way out, and I did. Our scientists found a way. So what do you think about going back?"

She had doubts. After all, she'd spent so many years in her body, in this life, and she'd long time ago lost hope. She was hesitant, she didn't want to leave her children and husband, but she still had that feeling from years ago that she wanted to go back.

"Yes, it could be."

It turned out to be a mistake. The male body was completely uncomfortable, the penis and testicles were just a obstacle. During business meetings, he didn't understand half of it, and she found herself instinctively cleaning the mansion even though it wasn't mandatory, and watching Latino shows. She felt no chemistry with his wife at all. She missed Alberto and the children. In fact, the only positive thing was that she was able to discipline Dylan's children. Finally, after a week, she couldn't stand it anymore and turned to Dylan in her body.  "Mr. Dylan, I mean Anna, I can't stand it at all. I know this used to be my body, but I don't feel like this at all. I feel more like Anna than Mr. Dylan."

"I completely understand you, I can't get used to this at all either." Admit Dylan

"So let's go back, but on one condition. You'll discipline your children more. I like them, but they could use something like this." Said Ana with serious face.

"Of course, I even let you to direct this" 

Some time later he also gave Anna an extra raise without her knowledge, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted it (she already earned much more than a regular maid, even if she didn't know it).

Father & daughter new roles

 It was year 1986. Due to a short circuit in his latest invention, which was supposed to be used for reading dreams, a divorced 50-year-old genius Delbert Burns, swapped bodies with his not very smart daughter, Lillian Burns. Worse, the accident left their intelligences in their bodies. Delbert remembered creating the invention, but he completely misunderstood what it was and couldn't explain it to his daughter, who now understood it in his body. So Lillian suggested that she read the notes and diagrams and try to figure it out while he rested. Bored, Delbert, who always had trouble paying attention even in his old body, decided to read his daughter's magazines , listen to her music and chatting with her friends and boyfriends.
A month later, his newfound knowledge had completely absorbed him. He spent his days listening to music, quietly sneaking out with his daughter's friends behind Lillian's back, and enjoying his youth. However, he hoped his daughter would find something, afterall he didn't want to rob her of her youth.

 Meanwhile, Lillian carefully analyzed her father's notes and diagrams, read all the scientific knowledge available at home, and understood the problem with her father's invention. At the same time, she analyzed other projects her father had never completed and finished them. Perhaps it was because she had been stupid before, but she managed to maintain her attention much better than her father and was able to finish things he couldn't. At the same time, she had many more ideas in mind, some of which would bring them respect and fortune, but to do so, she had to stay in her father's body. And she saw no problem with that. Great wisdom for the loss of 30 years of life was no great loss. Let her father enjoy the carefree life he deserved while she, or rather, he, improved the world.

P2
The year was 2026, and Lillian, along with her children and grandchildren, celebrated Delbert's 90th birthday.  Thanks to his inventions, their family became wealthy and respected. Lillian remembered some of these inventions when he thought about them himself, but he couldn't understand how they worked, plus his daughter/father had long ago transcended  patterns she know back then. She was especially grateful for their currently private family invention, which slowed aging, so her old body lived longer. At the same time, she continued to try to convince the old Lillian to return; she didn't want her to die old. 

However, she refused every time, unwilling to part with her intellect and the respect he had earned.  She also said that old Delbert had completely taken over her life. He had a successful modeling career, eight illegitimate children (there would have been more, but old Lillian found good contraception), and she was a good mother to each of them, whereas old Lillian wouldn't have been able to. When she gained intelligence, she focused primarily on her career, which resulted in hundreds of scientific awards and major advances in technology. Although she still tried to play the role of a good parent to her former father and grandfather to her grandchildren, she wasn't the best at it. And although she loved the father/daughter, she knew that the one with low intellect and scatterbrain wasn't suited to running a business, so he left it to his grandson, and told him to take care of his mother if necessary.

When turkey take over your life

 Delia was a beautiful but vain woman who believed she was entitled to everything in life. However, she met her end when, on Turkey Day, while she was watching the news about a corporation having an accident that turned everyone in the building into women, a witch knocked on her door and asked for turkey at the table. Delia refused, saying she would never share a piece with anyone. In revenge, the witch swapped Delia's body with a turkey she had in her pen, giving the turkey, in a human body, intelligence and knowledge to help in living as human. She then told them both that she would return in a year and hoped for a better reception this time. She also told the turkey that she hoped Delia would remain in one piece. 

During that year, the turkey learned to walk and move in the human world and began to love it.  Delia, on the other hand, found herself on turkey body and had to live like one, eat feed like one, sleep like one, and walk around the pen like one. She felt like her turkey instincts were slowly taking over her, and when she saw other female turkeys, she immediately jumped at them to fuck them. She had the reputation of a horny male turkey. Since she was in the pen, she couldn't tell time and didn't know when it was time to return to her body. She was certain of it because, although her turkey instincts were slowly taking over, she still had enough intelligence, or at least that she believed, that she would return to her old body, because the witch had commanded that stupid turkey in her body to keep her in one piece. However little did she know, that the turkey had a different plan. 

When Thanksgiving Day arrived, the turkey grabbed her by the throat, and she couldn't even think when she saw the glint of something metallic. 

When the witch returned home a year later, she found the turkey in Delia's body and a large piece of fried turkey. To which the turkey said, "You wanted Delia in one piece, so here it is." Then she pointed to the beautiful roast prepared for the creature, which was, in some respect, in one piece. Seeing this, the witch smiled and said, "I'm glad you understood my words correctly; that's exactly what I meant, Delia." Then they sat down to eat.

Who let the bitch out

 a loose spin off of this series

https://fantasytgcaption.blogspot.com/2026/06/ceo-son-and-secretary-swapped-bodies-by.html?m=1

Judy Vinson, wife of Jeffrey Atribus Vinson, was a vain woman. She considered herself the center of the universe. She disliked neither her son (she didn't want children but needed protection, so one was a compromise) nor her daughter-in-law, whom she accused of having an affair with her husband, even though she had affairs herself. She didn't even attend their wedding, making the excuse that she had a meeting in another part of the world. The only thing she cared about was her dog bitch, Abi, who followed orders. However, her arrogance paid the price when, while jogging with Abi, she bumped into an old woman. She didn't help her, only shouted, "Who let the bitch out!" and ran off, not noticing the old woman pointing her fingers at her.  

The next day, she was awakened by the sound of her window shattering. Trying to get up, she felt like she has fours legs. She also experienced a whole range of new sounds and smells that overwhelmed her. Suddenly, she saw her own body scratching against the window, she wanted to scream, but instead she howled and realized she was a dog. Then she howled again. Her husband's neutered dog, Nan, joined her. 

The next few days passed quickly. Her husband, seeing the state of her body, took it to the hospital despite her barking protests, which resulted in her having to spend the night outside, and she was forced to live as a regular dog. A few days later, her daughter-in-law Aloa arrived with her son's new male dog, Domino. She brazenly began to make out with him, and upon seeing this, she responded with loud barking. They, seeing this, forcibly chased her and Domino outside.  There, her son's dog started to approach her, and she began to feel something on her instincts, and she realized that Abi wasn't neutered, which meant that she could... sensing this, she managed to avoid Domino for the rest of the day, although there were moments when he was close. However, she was afraid that one day she wouldn't succeed.

Dream Girlfriend

 

 I based the story on this caption

https://www.deviantart.com/shayswordspear/art/Meet-the-Folkers-Tg-Caption-1274024429

1.

For a year, I lived in a dream. The girl, Cynthis Ania Cailyn Simmpolk, was a total dream; imagine a stripper who could rebuild a carburetor and also knew the difference between football and soccer. We spoke the same language. It wasn't just that she was undemanding; she was a partner. When something needed fixing, she not only brought me beer but also helped with the repairs herself. It was her soul that I fell in love with.

Then came the family barbecue, at her family home on Switch Street. I was a little surprised by her family. Cynthis's mom was wearing a Metallica T-shirt and chugging beer like a college student, her younger brother was quoting some 19th-century novel, and her dad... her dad, Farrell, just looked at me strangely. The moment we were go alone to the bar after barbecue, this strangeness crystallized into a crushing reality. Cynthis sat down and said.  "Mathew, we need to talk. A while ago, we had a… family incident. A thing. We switched bodies." She pointed a finger at her chest, her stunning face frozen in a grim line. "You're dating me. Farrell. With Cynthis father."

Reality buckled beneath me, a year of moments flashing through my mind, morphing into a truth that was both terrifying and impeccably logical. It was Farrell who knew the specs for the big-block Chevrolet. 
"It wasn't easy for me either," she said. Shocked, I asked seriously, "How long has this been going on, when did you two actually switch bodies?" I needed to know when I stopped dating Cynthis and started with Farrell. Farrell thought for a moment, then said, "Hmm, I'd say it's been about four years since then."  (Wait, four years ago? I've only been dating Cynthis for a year, so I guess I never actually dated the real Cynthis) I thought. Seeing that I'm deep in thoughts, Farrell (Cynthis?) said to me: "You know what, maybe I'll tell you what it was like."


2. 

The body swap took place in a year after we moved onto this street. We had no idea what had happened, but we knew that if we told the authorities, we'd either end up in a mental hospital or on experiments, so we hid it and decided to adapt. It wasn't perfect; for example, my daughter didn't like construction work, and when she had the opportunity, she took a job in our company's administration, and apparently, she's even doing well. In the case of my mother... I mean, my wife and son, as far as I understand, they had trouble settling into their new roles, but I wasn't particularly interested in it. But getting back to myself, one of the things that most caught my attention was my much smaller height; I was several dozen centimeters shorter than before.  To compensate, I started wearing high heels. It was actually quite easy. I also used my daughter's wardrobe because we thought it would take a while before we back(which didn't stop her from changing jobs). The wardrobe was quite comfortable to wear, and the handbag—oh my god, I can't believe I managed so long without a handbag. You can put anything in it, unlike pockets. However, even wearing heels didn't help much, and I was still too short. I remember the first time I went to the store to buy alcohol. I was technically too young at the time, but the owner knew my father I mean, me—so he turned a blind eye. Anyway, as I tried to reach for the wine, something that wouldn't have been a problem before, suddenly found itself out of reach. Frustrated, I didn't realize I'd pushed the can, which landed directly on my foot, causing me considerable pain. Luckily, I didn't break a toe or anything.

3.

 I did quite well in high school. Maybe it was because I knew the material beforehand, so I didn't have to focus so much on it and instead, I could go to social gatherings with my friends. As for Cynthis's social life, I managed to not only maintain friendships with her friends, but actually expand them. My friends themselves were surprised by my more adventurous nature than before, but I assured them it was all just a matter of maturing; they seemed to buy it. I'm also surprised that Cynthis was so conservative when it came to her wardrobe; I quickly tried on every piece she had in stock. I also started finding guys atractive at school very quickly, so it shouldn't surprise you that you're not my first. Anyway, at first, it was just fooling around, nothing serious. Until I met Frank, by the way he lived with his mother and stepfather here in the neighborhood.  I was amused by how he played the manly man, but at the same time, I could see a delicate feminine soul within him. And yes, it was with him that I had my first real relationship, I mean in my new body. We dated until the end of high school. He thought it was something more, and so did I, a little, but we decided to go our separate ways. It turns out his mother got married, and as a result, they moved to his stepfather on the other side of town, which resulted in our losing touch. Luckily, I'm single again. As for my friends, I still keep in touch; we're close friends. They themselves feel like they've become closer to me than before, when my daughter occupied this body.

4.

Of course, not everything was great. As a daughter in family, this meant I lost control of my budget. This meant that every time I wanted to buy something, I had to ask my "parents." I especially remember situation when we were at the mall and I wanted to buy a cake, but my daughter, who seemed to be taking on the role of a father too much and still wanted to control her body, had a different opinion.

Farrell: "I want that cake."
Cynthis: "No, that's out of the question."
Farrell: "Why? What do you mean?"
Cynthis: "Those calories would immediately go straight up my ass. Out of the question."
Farrell: "But a piece won't hurt."
Cynthis: "No, that's it. I already did you a favor by buying you that outfit that looks more like underwear."
Farrell: "But..."
Cynthis: "No, that's it. End of discussion."
Farrell: "Ugh..."
As you can imagine, this really irritated me.  Worst of all, I had no arguments in the discussions because she was the one earning money, and even more than me, because apparently, they pay more in the administration. And I wasn't earning money; I was still underage, though that was only a few weeks away. Even then, I didn't know what to do. I'd been physically active my whole life, something I was proud of, and my body wasn't suited for any of the jobs I held, except for one, but I hadn't thought about that yet. I was still frustrated by my daughter's bossiness.

5.

5. As soon as I turned 18 again, I quickly found a good job. I should add that I was still a senior in high school at the time, and Frank was my boyfriend. No, it wasn't waitressing. You could even say I still doing that. Yes, it was stripping. 

Let me explain: when I was a young man, I also started working as a male stripper. The pay was quite good, but when I got married, my wife's parents threatened to leave us nothing. So, whether I wanted to or not, I took up construction work and even liked it, although I still missed the old days, so I had no problem going back. And what if my daughter did stripping? Well, I'm her father... so I'd probably support her in that career. Although with her prudish personality, which only pretended to be libertine, I have my doubts. And does she know she works in a strip bar? Well, she knows I work in a bar and probably nothing more. She probably thinks I'm a waitress or something. As I said, she's a prude; she only had sex in my body two years after the switch. Would I want to work at the bar for a long time? Well, I've been working there for three and a half years already, longer than I did that work my previous life. It's funny because initially, it was supposed to be just a short, summer job to earn money for the cake I wanted to eat—yes, cake. I was frustrated by the fact that I had no money and couldn't eat what I wanted, and that I could only buy clothes that I was allowed to. I wanted to be a little more independent, and I succeeded.

Wait, what? Are you saying I'm only thinking about cake? Listen, just because I like cake doesn't mean I don't follow the diet my daughter tells me to. On the contrary, I've even improved it. Do you think someone with a figure like that would only eat cake? Jokes aside. Okay, let's leave it at that.

I remember the biggest afer was when I graduated from high school. My daughter was furious that I wasn't going to continue my education. I didn't see the reason; the school had already taught me what it should have in elementary school, and besides, my grades in high school were never very high, either in my body or in my daughter's.

Cynthis: What, you don't intend to continue your education at all? Do you know how necessary that is?
Farrell: Not at all. I've always considered it a waste of time; I mainly went there to meet my friends and Frank. If it weren't for the possibility of switching back, I wouldn't even be studying.
Daughter: There's still a possibility of switching.  And you were so "good" at studying that I went from being the best student to below average.

Farrell (to himself): That's still better than I was at your age.

Farrell (loudly): No, it's been a year, there's probably no chance we'll go back to our old bodies, and besides, learning is not necessary anyway.

Cynthis: What?

Farrell: Well, look at me, I got to this place without unnecessary schooling, I was taught by the streets and experience. And I have it all right here, in my head. I can easily use it to do even better than I did in my previous life. And this time I know to use safety.

My daughter looked as if she didn't believe my words. It's no wonder, considering that all she knows about the world is from books. But I knew I was right. Besides, I still had to make preparations for breaking up with Frank that day; his family was moving, and I didn't want to waste time on a long-distance relationship anyway.

You know what really irritates me about this country? No, not that, I mean, not tipping me isn't even remotely close to that level. It's about alcohol. Look, I'm 20, I've been of adult age for two years in this body, and I'm still not allowed to drink alcohol. What a stupid law, can you imagine? It's not so bad when I still buy locally because the shopkeeper knows me and thinks it's for my father (and in a way, he's right), but it's a problem when I shop in other stores. And before you say it, no, I can't ask my daughter to do that; she thinks alcohol is harmful to her health, what nonsense. I can ask my son, but he prefers different flavors than me, so it rarely works out. I remember a situation where I bought alcohol, but the store employee nagged me.

Employee: Are you sure you're over 21?

Me: What?

Employee: Are you sure you're over 21?

Me: No thanks, nah.  

I tried to pretend I hadn't heard and brush him off, but he started following me, so I had to improvise and surreptitiously put down the alcohol and grab a fruit salad and fruit juice (they were quite good) to make it look like I was buying something at that store. From then on, I only buy food there, and alcohol at other stores just in case.

So my next boyfriend was Domin, the bouncer from the club. He wasn't particularly active in bed, but he was a sort of replacement for Frank. We often went out. That was also the first time I slept at my boyfriend's house, and the atmosphere at home started to feel a bit stifling and restrictive for my liking. I often went with friends to various shops and meetings. However, Domin himself quickly bored me as a solo act, and I quickly started making side-dating moves to loosen up. He wasn't very smart, so he bought everything I said. His house probably was the reason I stayed with him for six months, house wasn't very big, but it was perfect for two people.  The problem was that he'd previously worked for a gang and was busted, not for long; he should have been out by now, but still, for me, it meant the end of the relationship, and we broke up. I think he even understood that. So, whether I wanted to or not, I had to return home. Sure, I earn a little, but not enough to pay for an apartment. My daughter, of course, scolded me in a fatherly way, but I ignored it. Besides, what does he know?


10. 

So I was single for a while. Of course, my side boys wanted something more, but I made it clear I didn't wanted with them.
I met another guy a few moths later. Unlike Domin, this one was much smarter; Mati was a businessman, after all. Unlike Domino, he didn't know about my work either, at least at first. I think he thought I was a club performer. In a sense, I am, but he thought of a different type of art. Mati, unlike Domino, had much more money and a much, much larger house; I didn't even have such soft beds at own home. Things seemed to be getting better, especially since Mati, unlike Domino, knew how to arouse a woman in bed. Unfortunately, he was also much more possessive, so he often tried to control my outings. He also wanted to meet my family (Domin never did). When we met, it generally didn't go well, and my family didn't want to know him anylonger. I could handle things like that, but ultimately, his ultimatum got the better of me. He found out I was a stripper and told me to stop. Of course, I couldn't agree to that, so I broke up with him after only two months of dating.

11. The rest of the year went by at a normal pace; I didn't have any serious relationships, and I focused entirely on work. Until I saw an ad for a soccer club, and I figured why not? I'd always enjoyed this sport, and my new body was so fit that I knew I could handle it. 
Yes, that's exactly how we met. It was during our first meeting at the club. I saw a lot of handsome guys, so I didn't really pay much attention to them. But you were different; you asked me out, and you caught my eye enough that I decided to give you your number. I admit, at first I saw you as just a week-long fling, but something clicked between us. I was especially pleasantly surprised that you didn't mind me working at a strip club.  I admit, I didn't fully believe you at first, so I gave you that "free pass" to see your reaction to my dancing in front of others, but you didn't mind either. You could even try a side-hustle from time to time, as long as we communicated in advance. I felt like I was starting to fall in love with you. You were smarter than Domino, but not as arrogant and possessive as Mati. At the same time, we could talk to you about anything because we had a lot of common interests. That's why, as you've probably noticed, you've been my boyfriend the longest, and I'd like to keep it that way.

"Well, now you know my whole story, or at least the parts I remember. What are you going to do with it?" Farrell, or rather Cynthis, asked him. (Exactly) Mathew thought. Technically, it was Farrell, but in reality, to him, it was Cynthis. From what he understood about the previous owner of this body, she would be very different from the Cynthis he knew. The other one seemed to be some kind of intellectual with puritanical tendencies, while the Cynthis he knew was a wild party girl who loved sexy clothes, good food, and drinks, while also using her sex appeal in her job as a stripper, a job she takes great pride in and enjoys. She considers all intellectual tasks a complete waste of time and completely unnecessary. At the same time, she's quite loud, but she likes to flirt, which Mathew completely understands. He also knew she had previous boyfriends, though he hadn't known their details until now. At the same time, she's always optimistic.  It's true that she has flaws, such as excessive self-absorption. He even wondered if this was a trait Farrell had before or after the body swap. However, he noticed two things in her stories: first, that she'd been with every guy for less than a year, even Frank, and second, and perhaps even more importantly, that she hadn't told anyone about the body swap. Driven by curiosity, he asked her about it, to which she replied, "Yes, I figured a year of relationship was enough to tell, especially to know where we stood. Will we continue, or is this really the end?"
Seeing my thoughts, Cynthis (Farrell?) said to me, "I'm stuck in this. But let's be honest, what we have... is the real thing, right?"

He was right. It was the best thing I'd ever had. The noise in my head finally subsided, leaving only one sharp, clear thought. I met her gaze, and the words spilled out: "I love you."  A slow, triumphant smile spread across her face, like a manly, cocky grin on a goddess's lips. "Took you long enough, asshole," Cynthis muttered, closing the distance and finally kissing me.

Alt shift: High mind

 

Looking at me, at Caitlin "Bonbon" Sharp, it's hard to believe that behind this image of a sex- and pot-addicted bimbo is Jasper Cornosh, a forty-year-old professor with a wife and children. As a result of Altshift, I was forced to accept my new role as a high-class prostitute. I didn't believe a whit in the government's bullshit about hypnosis, but I didn't have much choice in the matter, just like anyone else. However, I could use this to test my theory: I believed that the mind is independent of the body, and no matter what body we're in, we're always the same. After a year in a body addicted to sex and pot, I had to change my stance. During that year, I had sex with 213 men and 35 women, and I had sex 354 times(many people wanted reruns), And for my body, that's still not enough. I love showing off my beautiful breasts and tempting men; the mere sight of their desire warms my heart, a far cry from the introvert who had trouble even with his wife.  

The only thing that suppresses these sexual urges is my second addiction: smoking weed. This helps reduce my sexual urges and suppresses memories of the pre-Alt Shift days, when I was in a different place.  Interestingly, apparently the original "Bonbon" (who found herself in the body of my pimp Anton Harding and, like me, doesn't believe in the hypnosis nonsense) wasn't as addicted; she had time to get to used of both things. In my case, I went into her body at the deep end and was overwhelmed by the new sensations, as a result of which I am even more addicted to it. And just like the original owner of this body, in addition to the fact that brain chemistry is different from mine due to substances and upbringing, and being a woman, it affected my behavior and even intelligence. Although I still generally have a professorial mind and am smarter than most of the population, but due to the effects of drugs, adrenaline and hormones during sex, much of my old knowledge has been sealed away. I still remember terms and most definitions, but some of it is hidden behind a fog, and it feels like it's on the tip of my tongue but I can't pinpoint what exactly.  Because I use sex and marijuana much more frequently than the body's original owner, theoretically there's a possibility they are incompatible and my organism want to remove them. Fortunately, Bonbon has my back, so the threat of inspection and conversion camps isn't significant. 

So, ultimately, I have to admit I was wrong, and my body has a profound influence on my mind and soul. I'm even writing a scholarly book on the subject, but I likely won't be able to publish it until many years later, when government control has eased, and probably under a nickname.
