I looked back on the sidewalk as my girlfriend checked her handbag, looking for a wad of cash she’d saved up for a rainy day. We locked eyes as she smiled demurely. “You ready?” she asked quietly. “As ready as I’m ever gonna be” I chuckled, before reaching a house unlike any other in this neighbourhood. It stood, tall, imposing, almost leaching the colour out of the relatively bright houses beside it. A few weeks back, whilst mindlessly watching Netflix, my girlfriends’ eyes lit up due to whatever was on her phone screen. She turned with anticipation towards me. “What Phoebes” I said, with most of my focus on a developing action scene on the flat screen 48-inch television. “So, there’s a yard sale at this place downtown. It’s in a good area, and some of the items look interesting… Wanna go?” “Uhhh” I started, as someone’s face connected with a basketball court floor, “Sure, when?” “In about an hour” she uttered, sidling up to me on the sofa, slowly fondling my heavy skull earrings

Highschool DxD - Girl Granting Grail - COMMISSION
“Yes I’m Issei, yeah I’ll sign for it.” Scribbling away on a sheet of paper the young delivery man nods his head to Issei handing over the package. With a swing shut of the door, Issei tucks the package under his arm looking over his home. “Just another day.” A slightly bored tone, he walks over into his living room setting the package down on the coffee table in the middle of the room. Plopping his backside onto his couch the young man straightens out the collar to his short-sleeved red button up, his rather common features of shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes setting in stone his r

VR Little Sister Part 1: A FtF Bodyswap
"Remind me again Mom; why are you making me do this?" Harper Thomasik asked as she walked to the car. "Because you're a good sister and this is what Madelyn wants for her birthday this year" her Mom told her. "Seems like a pretty big commitment for a birthday present. Whatever happened to getting a new bike? A new Playstation game?" Harper replied. "And why me? Why not you?" Michelle Thomasik chuckled and put her hands on her hips giving her older daughter a look of 'Really?' "Yeah...because why would Maddie want to experience the life of a college girl when she could obviously see what it's like to be her 45 year old Mom? Haha...yeah, just what a 12 year old wants to experience; the thrills and chills of Accounting. Going grocery shopping might be exciting to recreate…" "Okay Mom, whatever, I get it" Harper replied a bit huffy. "But you owe me for this" "Did you ever stop and think you might have fun with this too?" Michelle said. "Think about it; you'll get to be a kid again for a week. Going swimming, having a slumber party, eating junk food and not caring. Those impending choices and responsibilities will be miles away...so distant! It's going to be fun for you too" Harper didn't want to admit it but that did sound good. At 21 she was getting ready to graduate college in another semester. This was going to be her last summer break coming up.  She was 5'8" with long brown hair and big brown eyes. She was well endowed up top with 34D breasts.  They would be wearing the rigs in May as Harper finished up her year and Maddie got close to the end of 6th grade and then they were scheduled for the first week in June to spend it in the facility going through the program.  Maddie's 12th birthday was tomorrow so they would have their rigs on in time for her party and sleepover.  Harper just smirked and put her arms out and up.. She shook her head.  "Sssseeeeeeee! You can act like a hard ass but you're not" Michelle laughed. "I'll put on a good show for her" Harper said. "What exactly does that mean?" Michelle shot back. Harper just winked and laughed a diabolical laugh. "What’s so funny?" Maddie said coming outside to the driveway. A day away from turning 12, Maddie was 5'3" with dark blonde hair and green eyes. She was just wearing her first training bras or sports bras. She had grown 3 inches in the last year. "Oh nothing. I'm just torturing Mom with all the possibilities I have to show you this week haha!" "Oh I like the sound of that!" Maddie admitted. "I want the full college experience! Please Harper! I'm absolutely begging you to give me something good" "No worries little sis...I gotcha" she laughed. "But no matter what I do decide to do, I'm keeping it absolutely secret. You won't find anything out until you actually get inside" Maddie's jaw dropped before she got a mischievous smile on her face. "Oh…" Harper nodded knowingly. "You two! Sometimes I swear…" Michelle said, opening her door. Both girls laughed getting into the car. A woman named Jean greeted them. She went through the whole speech and while Michelle signed for Madelyn, Harper signed for herself. Harper read through her paperwork quickly, mostly looking for any restrictions. After thorough check ups and measurements of seemingly every part, on went the harnesses, body cameras, batteries and sensors. Microphones and storage codes for the constant downloads. They had establishing shots scanning up and down in addition before they were sent out to record a full week. Harper was there for the party but didn't go to any of the other festivities Maddie had with her friends.  She was back on campus. "Oh I can't wait to see what she'll think about this" she thought as the week wound down. She came to the facility separately to turn in their equipment since she still had her week of finals coming up. Harper would be home for the summer after that. Harper pulled up in her old beat up car and unpacked for the summer. Opening the door, she found the house was empty. Her Mom was working and she guessed her sister was at a Softball game or practice. So after starting a load of laundry, Harper started carrying the rest of her stuff upstairs.  She stopped at the first door on the left; Maddie's room. It had been her room when she lived at home but since she had left, Maddie had moved in and Harper took the smaller guest room when she was home. Harper smirked seeing the room. A mixture of childish with a touch of emerging maturity. The walls were now gray instead of pink but the comforter and curtains were still pink. Stuffed animals dotted the landscape along with band posters. Copies of Harry Potter and The Hunger Games next to her laptop, a Playstation, softball equipment and clothes everywhere "It'll be weird to basically be her for a week" she thought looking at all of her sister's stuff. After dropping off her first load, Harper stopped in again. This time, she stepped and flicked on the light. She cocked her head looking at Maddie's clothes in the closet. She noticed one of her slides on the ground and she slipped her foot in it. It was a full size too small; Harper was several inches taller than her sister but Madelyn was catching up recently. The clothes were childish because they were for a child. Maddie had just turned 12 two weeks earlier, still Harper was fascinated and already thinking about their time in the program. Secretly, she was afraid for her future and she was confused about the choices she would have to make soon.  She was looking forward to the distraction it would bring her. "I know she's looking forward to this but, so am I" she thought optimistically. "It'll be a nice change of pace if nothing else" Harper had everything in by the time both her Mom and sister arrived. A lot of her stuff stayed at the house anyway. She was much more interested in functionality while on campus. She had some dress clothes but others stayed at home. "Hey look who's home?! Hi honey! There's my baby" Michelle said, giving Harper a hug. "What’s up guys, good to see you" Harper replied. Maddie stood back a step just watching "So are you ready for our swap?"  "Well you're obviously eager" Harper replied with a laugh. "But sure, I guess I am"  "I knew you would be! I am soooooo looking forward to it" "She talks about it constantly" Michelle confirmed. Harper just smirked "having to wait for your birthday present is killing you huh?" Maddie nodded unabashedly. They settled in as they had another 10 days before they were scheduled for their time in. Madelyn was extra questioning. She followed her big sister around just taking in details.  Michelle could tell that Maddie was imitating Harper. Walking like her, trying to talk like her, mimicking her inflections and cadence. But, she also thought Harper might be doing the same in a more subtle way. Harper seemed more playful, maybe trying to push aside her impending changes in life. She was embracing immaturity, hanging out with her little sister; watching the shows Maddie watched, listening to the bands Maddie liked. The night before their scheduled day, Maddie was wound up.  She snuck down to her sister's room. "Hey, are you still awake?" She asked, peeking her head in. "Yeah...I am," Harper replied, lifting herself up on her elbow. Maddie came in and they flicked on a light. "I can’t sleep"  "You need to. Tomorrow's a big day" Harper said. Maddie smiled and sat down on her sister's bed fidgety. A pile of laundry sat nearby and Maddie started absent mindedly thumbing through her sister's clothes as they talked. She took Harper's bra in her hands "My God sis...how do you not fall over with these?" Harper guffawed. Madelyn held the bra up "No, I'm serious! How do they not get in your way?!" They both laughed. "I guess you're going to find out soon enough. I mean, this is supposed to be so immersive tomorrow that you're going to feel like you're actually me. See, hear, feel, heck, you'll even be as tall as me haha" Harper said. "I'll be taller than you because you're going to be my size. And flat chested! Haha" Maddie laughed.  "Why don't you try it on?" Harper said.  "What?! No way! It'll just make me depressed at how I can't come anywhere close to ever filling it out" Maddie protested.  "Oh you don't know that" Harper replied.  "Yes I do. I'm built more like Mom and she doesn't have boobs like you. I'll be lucky to end up a B cup. You were already more impressive than me when you were my age" Harper blushed. She got up and went to her closet. "Hmmm…" she pulled out a white dress with a floral pattern but a higher neckline "Then try this on" Maddie acted like she didn't want to but she eagerly grabbed it. In a matter of seconds, Harper was zipping the dress up on her little sister. "See! Way too big!" Maddie laughed, pressing down the empty bulge on her chest. Harper smirked and handed over a pair of her wedges.  Maddie put them on. They were a full size too big but, it wasn't awful. Standing up in them raised her up 3 inches, much closer to her sister's height. Maddie smiled with pride. "I feel like this is closer to the height I should be. I want to be as tall as you" "I wouldn't mind being shorter in all honesty," Harper admitted. "I don't know why...I just have a feeling that I should be shorter than what I am. That's weird isn't it?" "Um, yes! Haha, why would you want to be short?" Harper just shrugged. "I don't know. Just feels like…" she shrugged again. "Well I think I'm slowing down. I won't get up to your height" "Well…" Harper replied. She looked her little sister up and down. The big shoes, her skinny legs and arms poking out. The gap at the neckline. Her immature face.  "What if it becomes real?" Madelyn spit out. "I was reading on the internet how, how sometimes, I mean it's actually super rare, but, there's actually been people who after going through, actually, really, physically switch bodies. There's stories out there that a Mom and daughter who went through really swapped" "What?! Don't tell me you believe stuff you read online" "No it's true! There were others too! A man and a woman and 2 women. The only one I don't believe is a woman who switched places with her dog. That's impossible!" Maddie admitted. "Come on Maddie, I've been reading up on this too and there is no doubt that it's realistic and immersive but actually switching places. I don't know about that" Harper was blushing. "Have you ever thought about what if?" Maddie asked. "What if what?" Harper replied.  "What if we were really reversed? I have. I've thought about it, well, quite a bit. What if I were your older sister and what if you were my little sister?" Harper gaped, caught off guard by the question. She blushed, flustered "um, well, yeah, I uh guess…" Harper smiled sheepishly "Yes haha. Of course the odd thought has passed through my mind. Especially when I've been away at school. What if it were you and what if I were still at home. Going through 5th and 6th grade. Having a big sister away at school. I never had a big sister and I was 9 when you came around so it's not like we hung out or did the same thing together" Harper said.  Maddie was smiling, she had gasped upon hearing her sister admit having had the same thought if maybe not as intense or as often as herself, she had at least thought about it.  "That’s awesome," Maddie finally said.  "This will be interesting to see tomorrow. Seeing you as me and…" Harper started "...and you as me" Maddie finished. "I can’t wait. I want what you have so bad" she admitted.  "And sometimes I want what you have; time" "So what if it happens to us?! What if after our week is up, we really actually do swap?" Maddie asked excitedly. "What?!" Harper experienced the strangest sinking feeling in her stomach just hearing the words. "Yeah...what if we come out of it and I'm really you!" Maddie sounded giddy. "Oh I don't know about that. That would be really weird. I mean, switched?! Like really switched? I'd be 12" "Our numbers flipped. I'd be 21 and you'd be 12" "I'd be 9 years younger than you. It would be you about to graduate" Harper said. "And you would be going into 7th grade; my little sister!" Madelyn said. Harper just looked, her jaw dropped. Maddie was smiling broadly, bouncing in her excitement "Just think of it!" Harper's mouth went into a slight smile. She let out a low chuckle "I am" "Can you see it?" Maddie asked. For a second, she did see it. Maddie taller, Maddie older. Maddie...no, she wasn't Maddie; Harper. If this was true, then Harper would be Maddie. Harper looked down at her flat chest and looked up at her big sister. Then Maddie giggled and broke Harper's spell.  Harper gasped."Oh my gosh" she was slightly taken aback. "What’s the matter? Looks like you really saw it. Saw it like I see it" Madelyn said as she sat down and unlaced her wedges. "I like these...I hope you wore these while you were wearing the rig" "Um, yeah, yes I did" Harper said.  "Maybe they'll be all mine anyways in a week" Maddie shrugged. She stood and Harper unzipped her.  Maddie started to put on her own clothes when Harper stopped her "wait...maybe you'd prefer to wear something else" Maddie raised her eyebrows as Harper took off the tank top she had been wearing along with her panties. Maddie was shocked.  She took her sister's clothes trembling with anticipation.  Harper picked up the top Maddie had worn in. She put it on. It was tight but she managed. Her breasts were a bit smushed and it was tight on her arms and at her neck. As Maddie put on Harper's clothes, Harper slipped on her sister's underwear and shorts. "Goodnight. Big sis" Harper giggled and winked.  "Guh...Goodnight. Little Sis" Maddie giggled in return as she floated out of the room. After very little sleep, morning came and their Mom drove them to the facility. Both girls were fidgeting in their seats. Harper kept tugging at her shirt while Maddie kept changing positions. "Are you two nervous or excited?" Michelle asked.  "Both" they said in unison. They laughed as Harper looked back over her shoulder at her sister. They arrived and Jean greeted them at the door. "Hello Thomasik family! Are you ready for a truly life changing experience?" Madelyn nodded enthusiastically while Harper smirked.  Jean talked seemingly non stop as they walked down hallways until they arrived at their area.  Technicians awaited with full body suits, face shields and enough gear for a well equipped Marine to roll his eyes at. It wasn't heavy though they discovered as they suited up. Booties and gloves went on after their whole bodies were covered including having their hair tucked underneath hoods. The VR full face shields went on outfitted with microphones. Then vests over that. They looked like astronauts. Michelle was escorted out as the door in front of Harper opened first. She stepped in. The door shut behind her and she found herself standing in a huge room. In front of her was a wall of mirror. She saw her reflection clearly. Despite the equipment she knew she was wearing, she saw herself clearly, simply dressed in a blank tank top, tan short shorts and sandals. The outfit she had been wearing the day they started. Harper reached up, she could feel her hair through her fingers. "This is amazing already," she said walking up closer to the mirror.  "Harper Elizabeth Thomasik" a voice overhead made her jump. "Welcome to Other Side VR...I understand you agreed to do this as a present for your sister's birthday. How very generous of you. To give your little sister your body and your life while accepting hers in return. I'm sure she will be very happy to receive your more mature responsibilities, your freedom and your more developed body. She was never going to be as developed as you" Harper blushed hard. "To exchange 9 years with your younger sister. To reverse your relationship. To flip your positions and roles. I'm sure you will find it quite different being a little sister…"  The words hung in the air. "You have relinquished your body, your age, your name, your life, your future. No longer Harper Elizabeth Thomasik. Now, you must take on your new mantle, your new body, your new future and name. Behold Madelyn Caroline Thomasik" "Wow...talk about an over dramatic speech" Harper mumbled. But then, she felt pressure. Compression. Her body felt tight, like it was being squeezed. That was when she noticed movement. Movement of her reflection and her own movement. It felt like hands rested heavily on her shoulders then pressed down and with that, Harper knew that somehow, she was shrinking. She looked to the ground and her feet, seeing it coming up closer, she gasped. "Ohmygod, Ohmygod, Ohmygod! I'm shrinking! How am I actually shrinking?!"  She looked up and to the mirror which confused yet confirmed it too. Her body was shorter, more compact. Her legs were not nearly as long as usual.  Her thighs felt squeezed and she saw them thinning and slimming down. Her calves too. She looked to her feet and watched her toes pull back away from the ends of her sandals. "No Way!" She yelled. The shape of her toes were changing before her eyes. Smaller, thinner toes; she lifted them and spread them. She recognized them and called them out "I have Maddie's feet!" She looked at the mirror "Ohmygosh! And, and her legs" she moved around swinging her legs about to get different looks at her skinny, coltish legs. Her shorts drooped as her hips and ass deflated. Then she gasped again even louder as she felt a numbness in her chest followed by tingling and pressing. Her suit was simulating the sensations of shrinking and changing along with absolute visual cues to reinforce the image of Harper turning into, becoming her little sister Madelyn. So as Harper felt pressure on her breasts, what she saw was her shirt deflating beneath her chin. She could put the neck out and see her breasts shrinking, dwindling down. No longer touching the cups of her bra they shrank down smaller and smaller until her chest looked flat with two swollen bumps. She let go of her shirt and as it snapped back, all of her clothes changed into her sister's.  Now, Harper was wearing a basic yellow t-shirt and denim shorts along with cheap flip flops. "Ah...everything looks different" she said as she held her hands out watching those also shrink down smaller. When her face and scalp began to tingle, she spun towards the mirror, leaning in close. She put her hands up to the cold flat surface as her face began to regress. From the face of a young woman with sharp defined features back to the face of a tween. Her nose shrank, her lips thinned, her chin and jaw weakened, her cheeks puffed out with baby fat. Her eyes narrowed and lightened in color as her skin paled.  Harper's jaw dropped watching her face change into the face of her little sister. Butterflies took off in her stomach as she saw her own face replaced. Her hair lightened and thinned and straightened. She was in shock standing there when she heard a door open behind her. Maddie was going crazy waiting to go in. She bounced and hummed "What’s going on in there? What's taking so long? Why can't I go in yet? I can hear her! It sounds like she's yelling" The door slid open and Maddie sprang forward like an Olympic sprinter. She took two steps in and stopped dead in her tracks, her jaw hanging and her eyes wide and bulging. Harper heard the door and she spun around.  Maddie froze seeing the doppelganger looking back at her. They stood looking at each other for a moment, both wearing the same expression. "Maddie?" Harper finally managed to say but her voice didn't sound right. Her voice was higher. It was Maddie's voice. "Whoa! Harper?! Is that you?!" Maddie said, taking a cautious step closer. Harper nodded.  "Oh my gosh this is crazy! You look exactly like me!" She took another step before she stopped and looked down at herself. She had just realized she was in her own clothes,  the clothes she had been wearing the day they started. The clothes that Harper now wore too.  Maddie finally took in the mirror in front of them and she saw quadruple. She walked up equal in size to her big sister, now reduced down to her size just taking in the sight. "Madelyn Caroline Thomasik" a voice overhead boomed making both of them  jump. "Welcome to Other Side VR...I understand that this is a present from your sister for your 21st...I apologize. I mean your 12th birthday" Maddie giggled. "How very generous of her. To give her little sister her body and her life while accepting yours in return. I'm sure that you will be more than happy to receive her more mature responsibilities, her freedoms and her more developed body." Maddie blushed hard. "To exchange 9 years with your older sister. To reverse your relationship. To flip your positions and roles. I'm sure you will find it quite different being a big sister as opposed to your previous, more submissive role"  The words hung in the air. "She has relinquished her body, her age, her name, her life, her future. No longer will she be known as Harper Elizabeth Thomasik. Now, you must take on your new mantle, your new body, your new future and name. Behold Madelyn Caroline Thomasik. The young woman who stands before you now. You are henceforth known as Harper Elizabeth Thomasik. Your body will become her body. Your age will increase to her previous age as hers has diminished to yours. Your life, your future is now that of Harper's. You are now Harper"  The voice boomed and echoed through the room. Maddie swallowed "wow" was all she could muster after the speech. Harper, for her part, was silent. She felt intense heat at the back of her neck. Madelyn felt warm all over. Her muscles in her arms and legs twitched as a general wave of warmth built up inside of her. She looked down at herself  then to her sister, then to the mirror.  Then, she felt a surge; a lifting sensation like going up in a fast elevator.  She looked at Harper and saw shock on the familiar face that was looking back at her. Because, she was also looking down into it. "Am I…? No! I can't be actually growing can I? It really feels like I'm getting bigger! And, and it looks like it too! You're shorter than me Harper!" Maddie covered her mouth and laughed "Ohmygosh I'm getting taller than you! I'm at least like, 2 inches taller already! Look!" Harper turned to their reflections and saw a different angle of her new reality. She was looking up to Maddie's face.  Maddie stretched her shoulders and back out, rising up. She looked down and got an odd sense of vertigo as the floorvand her feet were getting farther away. "I don't want to go back! I already know I don't ever want to go back to being short again. I want to always be taller than you!" She felt pressure on her thighs, they felt like they were filling out, stretching and expanding.  Harper found herself below Maddie's nose. Her eyes were at her chin as their height difference reversed. Harper now found herself 5 inches shorter than Madelyn "How can I be looking up to you?" "Because I'm taller than you" "But it's just a program, it's our perception…" Harper said. "Oh just accept it haha" Maddie laughed "it is what it is" she added looking down. She could feel her toes stretching out.  When she looked, they were now over the ends of her flip flops. Her toes were bigger; wider with bigger pedicured nails. "My legs are so long! This is awesome!" She turned sideways. "Ohmygod I've got hips!" She could feel her hips spreading out and her ass growing larger and more muscular, rounder, as it now looked like Harper's.  Maddie bounced. "Haha! It jiggles! I feel heavier back there, like I really have your weight!" As such, her shorts had ridden up and felt tight. She looked in the mirror and squeezed "I have your legs!" Madelyn held her breath; froze momentarily as her clothes billowed and fluttered as they changed into Harper's clothes.. Fancy sandals encased her feet, straps triple wrapped around her ankles. Short tan shorts hugged her hips and ass and showed off her long legs. The black top was loose up top; extremely loose. Maddie felt the bra. Straps over her shoulders holding up nothing but pushing her shirt out empty.  A look of shock on both of their faces, a very deep sense of curiosity suddenly swelled in Harper.  Maddie's arms filled out, her hands and fingers grew larger but both were watching for movement on her chest.  Maddie's eyes fluttered and rolled back behind her shield but correspondingly in the program as she felt an intense tingling in her chest.  That tingle spread to her stomach and spine and blissfully shot out over her entire body. She shuddered and moaned before she went rigid and froze. She giggled "ohmygod" she mumbled "And. Here. They. Come." A slight twitch on the left followed by one on the right. Madelyn pulled the neck of her top out in time to see her chest blossom.  Her jaw dropped and she managed several "Ah!...AH!" as her breasts swelled. They popped out in that initial twitch and then steadily grew larger and rounder. Perfect 34D breasts. Round, pert and tight globes built up on Maddie's chest. She could feel them grow, their weight steadily increasing.  The sensations were increasing as well. Sensitivity and awareness of them. They finally came in contact with her bra cups and filled them to capacity, pushing up against the soft fabric and spilling out of the top. Madelyn looked at Harper incredulously. A total range of emotions cut a swath through Harper seeing her little sister gain her body. She was known for her boobs. A running commentary through high school and college between her friends and basically every guy she ever met or hooked up with or even just talked to. Now,they weren't hers anymore.  They were her sisters'. Maddie was smiling and giggling as her hands now came up and she gave them a squeeze "Oh God" she moaned as her knees went weak. "It's like they're really mine! I can feel everything about them! They are mine!" She looked down at her sister who she could tell was jealous.  Harper was more than just jealous. She was diminished. Less. Humiliated? Envious. Definitely envious. Then, a panic. What if it does happen? What if somehow we do stay like this? I'll never feel those again. I'll never have those again. My little sister will have taken my body and could hold it over me forever…" Harper's right index finger went up. She poked her little sister's big right boob. "Hey! Haha...what are you doing?" Maddie laughed and playfully covered herself up. "Just, um, just seeing what they felt like outside of them" Harper shrugged, her higher voice shaking. "No,no,no...these aren't for little girls like you Haha!" Maddie teased. Then her expression changed, going almost blank for a second "My face is tingling" she said. "She’s already got my body, now she'll have my face" Harper thought. She caught herself. "Oh my gosh! I'm acting like a 12 year old! I've got Maddie's emotions already...it’s just the program. It's just the week. It's just inside here" Madelyn had turned towards the mirror to watch her face change.  Her features began to sharpen and mature. The baby fat on her cheeks streamlined out into high strong cheekbones, sleek. Her nose grew larger, her lips plumped, her teeth straightened, her chin and jaw became more pronounced. Her eyes widened. "Aaaaahhhh!" She let out, her sigh deepened as it trailed out. They were both fixated on her eyes though. Harper had striking brown eyes; big doe eyes were the iris dominated.  Maddie now had those eyes. A quick glance to the side confirmed it for her that Harper's eyes were now narrow and green. Her eyelashes thickened, her eyebrows darkened and sculpted, arcing up across her shifting forehead. Finally, Maddie's hair darkened and thickened. It swept around changing style and length, shortening up to just past her shoulder. "I'm you...I'm...Harper" she said, cocking her head upon hearing her changed voice. Deeper, more mature to match the rest of her.  She turned and faced her sister. "We're each other now!" Harper found herself smiling. She nodded "yeah...this is actually pretty cool" "It's amazing," Maddie laughed. "This week is going to be...God I don’t even know if I can put it into words. Thank you!" Harper smirked.  "Thank you for agreeing to do this. It really does mean everything to me" Maddie said. "Well, honestly, I'm looking forward to it too. I know I put up a fight with Mom but, well, you know...our talk last night…" Maddie giggled and covered her mouth. "I can’t get over your look," Harper admitted. You look just like me" "And you look just like me!" Maddie replied "like it's scary" Harper pulled her bottom lip in, something that Maddie always did and Maddie just blinked in disbelief "Were you thinking about doing that?" "Doing what?" "My little lip thing. The thing I do when I pull my lip in...because you just did it" Madelyn informed her sister.  "I didn't even realize I did it" Harper admitted.  "Harper!" The voice rang out and both jumped. Harper giggled "I think he's talking to you" she said to Maddie. Maddie looked around. "Good...Madelyn" Harper looked up. "Good. You're responding to your correct names already" the voice said. "It is time to begin" the mirror parted in front of them and they saw their Mom standing there smiling.  They looked at each other and stepped in. "Hey Mom!" Harper said now shorter than her Mom too. "Are you two all set? Your birthday party starts in an hour" Michelle said directly to Harper.  "Yes Mom...let’s go" Maddie chimed in. Just how they remembered it. They rode home talking. Maddie was able to control enough that she could steal glances not only at herself but also at her sister. There was freedom to the program. She made sure her upper arm brushed her breast. Something her sister didn't do "I've got to see how much I can stretch this" Maddie thought. Harper, having been relegated to the back seat, didn't mind the view. A clear line shot at her sister's legs in the front seat. Her mind scanned and processed as she carried on their conversation. She analyzed her thoughts seeing what kind of influence her sister already had on her.  Her self-image was already altering. In minutes her mind had adjusted and put herself in her sister's place. Seeing the world as she saw it. Already processing perceived slights as her Mom and sister talked about college. "We're not even an hour into this. What am I going to think in a week?" Maddie was smiling broadly as she talked. She was enjoying the sound of her own voice quite frankly. "Am I simply imitating Harper or am I really doing this?" She vaguely remembered the original conversation so she decided to see if she could steer it.  "So was that deer over there?" "I didn't see a deer" Michelle said "It's the middle of the afternoon, why would a deer be out right now?" Maddie noticed Harper looking out the window too. "Guess it wasn't then. They're usually out at dusk or dawn" Maddie said. "I can control things" she realized "But what is all available to me? Do I have full access to Harper's mind? Will I just be sitting in class unable to understand, parroting back what she said or can I actually access her knowledge?" They went through the family party from the other's side. Harper, the birthday girl celebrating her 12th birthday first with family, then afterwards, with her friends for a sleepover. Maddie now roaming the sidelines, staying back, talking with her Aunts and Uncles. They were both fascinated by the new dynamics. Both noticed how they were spoken to. The topics that were brought up to them. They were truly seeing how each other was treated. Essentially, they really were the other in everyone else's eyes. The family part of the day wrapped up and it was time for Harper and Maddie to split up. This time, they hugged each other before Maddie left in Harper's car to go to Harper's apartment and live Harper's life. Maddie drove home. She knew she was actually just sitting in the facility, but to her, she was driving. She knew it. She knew how to do it. Madelyn got to her apartment, and she did think of it as her apartment. Getting inside she simply bounced off the walls in excitement. She examined her body over and over. "As long as she's seen it, I have access to it. So therefore, I know every inch of this body"  Then she saw what she really wanted; what she was most curious about: Her textbooks.  A semester away from graduating with a degree in nursing "can I understand it? Can I tap into it? Can I obtain her mind like I've obtained her body?" Maddie's heart was pounding as she opened an Anatomy textbook. She began to read. She flipped to a diagram. Her heart beat faster. She closed her eyes tight and sat perfectly still. She was reaching. It was there but just out of her grasp. Tantalizing "Concentrate" she told herself "Relax and concentrate. Words swam up. Terminology. "Back up…" she got up and went to her bookshelf. Intro to Anatomy. She opened that and began to read. A smile broke across her face. These terms began to pop up into her head quickly. More accessible. "I can do it" she said to herself. The technician on duty watched the numbers on Subject 64B with curiosity. Her numbers indicating brain function was steadily increasing. "Anything interesting?" Jean asked as she made her rounds. "No, nothing unusual" he handed over the reports. "64B is showing increased mental function" "It's her first day. She's a 12 year old in the body of a 21 year old...of course she's going to be reflecting increased numbers. How are 64A's numbers?" Jean asked.  The technician looked at them "Nothing unusual. Heart Rate has increased to 64Bs rate. She's currently in for a long night. The program has her in a slumber party. Her mental capacity is varied due to her spot in the program; she's very much being a 12 year old currently" Maddie stayed up all night. Originally, she had been up all night that first night anyway. This time though, she was working her way through book after book. They were coming to her. Clearer and clearer.  It was like locks opening. Knowledge started flowing. Was it flowing into her and out of Harper?  Harper's knowledge. "It's there for the taking. I can unlock it" Harper watched her sister leave.``Such an odd situation" she thought. "If I think about it constantly, it just loses concept and I would just go on and on. Mom said to just relax and enjoy myself this week; get lost in being a kid again. That's what I'm exactly going to do. Be a kid. Just let Maddie take over. Be Maddie to the max!" She told herself "Don’t think about college or any of that adult crap! I'm 12! Who cares!?" Her friends started arriving and she did think of them as Her friends. "I'm Maddie now. This is my birthday and these are my friends" she told herself. Harper fell right into the conversation. She knew everyone and everything that they were talking about. The conversation ranged everywhere all at once. Topics changed on the breeze; boys, school, Tik Toks, shows, movies, music, families, personal details, parents, siblings. Harper talked about Harper. In the 3rd person and from an outside perspective. It really drew her in to how Maddie saw her, how she saw her now. They ate junk food and ran around the house staying up all night long annoying Michelle to no end. They did each other's hair and nails; Harper ended up with yellow on her fingers and sky blue on her toes before they finally crashed at about 5 AM. The technician monitoring the system didn't pick up on the drop in numbers. He merely recognized that subject 64A was finally going to sleep and associated the drop as a natural descent into sleep.  He also failed to notice the corresponding rise in 64Bs in the exact same field. It wasn't a variation that had occurred before. The numbers tracked various mental capacities and a transfer from one subject to another had never been thought possible so the computers and the program simply adjusted the baseline for both subjects 64A and 64B. Maddie had fallen asleep. Her program had originally planned for her to watch movies with some friends but she had managed to adjust the program and said she wanted to study. She took in as much information on Harper's major as she possibly could and finally just crashed. Maddie woke up on her back. It took her second to acclimate since she didn't initially recognize the room she was in. She lifted herself onto her elbows. Immense weight and mass shifted on her chest "Oh shit" she laughed looking down "Hello there!" Dark hair was in her vision as she flung back the cover to expose her long, curvaceous legs.  She swung out and immediately appreciated her higher view. Feeling how Harper's body swayed and moved for her was mesmerizing. She went to the bathroom and after the basics began to brush her teeth. She just stared at her reflection. As she spit, random terms from the night before simply came to her. She looked up shocked. "I remember! I understand it! Haha! This is amazing! I feel smarter! I feel...more mature! Like naturally...I don't feel any bit of 12" Harper's friends arrived "We're not letting you off the hook today. You ditched us last night but you're hanging out with us today" Maddie had a great time. They talked about everything and she felt right at home in the conversation. They watched movies and ate pizza which she washed down with cheap beer. But the whole time, Maddie ran nursing terminology and diagrams through her head, reinforcing and ensuring they stayed. Harper woke up wrapped in a blanket on the floor of her room. Disoriented momentarily, then it hit her. Her foot was poking out, tiny toes topped with sky blue polish. She wiggled her toes and smiled, crunching herself up into a ball of happiness "This is fun. This is better than I thought it would be" she told herself "This feels natural. It feels comfortable. It feels right. Like I'm in the right place" she shivered as she got up and went to the bathroom.  Seeing her face in the mirror made her smile. It made her feel warm inside. She smiled, her crooked teeth, she stuck her tongue out at her chubby cheeks. Her light hair was still in twin braids from the night before and she tugged on the ends of them. She had slept in a tank top and a pair of shorts and she looked down at her flat chest and skinny little legs and giggled. The warmth built up again happily.  Michelle cooked breakfast for the 6 girls who wouldn't shut up. One by one, they were picked up and Harper found herself alone for the first time. She went to her room curious. Closing the door behind her she looked around. Of course it was familiar to her but she remembered back to her first night back home when she had snuck in. "I wished that this room was still mine " she admitted "That all the clothes in here would fit me. That I was the one playing softball and swimming"  For just a second, it felt like everything shuddered. The technician let out a sigh as he saw a quick red blinking. 64A. The computers hummed. A number jumped out at him. He made a note of it in the case log.  As he was typing, the corresponding number increased in the data of 64B but he failed to notice and it simply adjusted the baseline once again.  Maddie was smiling, having a great day with her friends but they wrapped up around 10 and she headed home.  She still couldn't get over her body. "This could never get old" she said. "I wish this was mine. Actually mine. In the real world. I wish that when it comes time, we actually switch bodies" she prayed "Please. I know I can do it. I know we would both be happy; happier than we currently are or ever would be if we have to go back. I am doing everything I can do to make it happen but I need some help. Maybe some luck or divine intervention so please make me Harper forever and Harper into Madelyn" Maddie knew Harper studied yoga and meditation so it was even in the program to do it.  Maddie stretched and relaxed but concentrated on her one overriding desire "if all else fails, maybe I can Astral project myself into her" Maddie slowed her heart rate down to her sister's.  In the next room over, Harper slept but her vitals linked up in sync with her sister's. Then, they rose to Maddie's usual levels where they settled and stabilized.  Maddie let out a long slow breath. A peaceful warmth settled in her chest. She opened an eye "Something's different" she thought but looking around just disrupted her meditation so she got up and got ready for bed. As they slept, unbeknownst to anyone, they dreamed the same dream. It was Harper's wedding day and a grown up Madelyn was her matron of honor. But the dream played out in 3rd person like a movie and neither one knew who was who. The week was busy for both of them, full of obligations and routines and patterns. School started Harper's day. There was a certain joy in having her Mom wake her up again and make sure she got ready and off to school. Getting dropped off even had its charm.
