My girlfriend Danielle works at an Art and History museum. They have works of art and historical artifacts from around the world. One day, she got home from work and realized she had somehow left with an artifact from work. It was a circular rock that had come from long disappeared culture in South America. It almost looked like a ying yang, but the 2 colors were a brilliant pink and blue that seemed to glow from the stone. My girlfriend had seen the stone at work as part of a new temporary exhibit at work earlier, but had no idea how it wound up in her purse like this. She was petrified of losing her job for stealing one of the museum's pieces, and would need to sneak it back the next day at work, hopefully before anyone noticed and caused an issue.
Since we had to hold onto the rock til tomorrow we both inspected this strange looking thing. She was holding it, but as i put my hand closer to touch it, the glow of the pink and blue seemed to get brighter. I pulled my hand away and the colors dimmed. We both raised our eyebrows at that. With neither of us speaking, I slowly brougt my hand towards the rock Danielle was holding, and again the colors glowed. The closer my hand got, the brighter it got, until just as my hand touched the rock, it got so bright I couldn't see anything.
And then in a flash the light disappeared. But instead of touching the rock, I now found it in my hand. It felt a lot bigger and heavier than I thought it would be. I then noticed then fingers I had around the rock ended in long pink nails. And the rock probably felt big because the hand I was holding it with was now so tiny. I looked up and saw sombody's shoulder. Looking further up, I saw my regular handsome face looking confused as hell staring back. I had become my girlfriend Danielle, and there she stood in my body as the new Robert.
We both reached out and touched each other's face, our own former faces, still not believing what happened. After a conversation, we figured the stone had done this. And in order to keep Danielle's job, I would have to bring the rock back to work in the AM. We discussed the details of how we would have to live as the other.
The next day came and I successfully snuck the rock back to it's spot in the exhibit. I had to spend the rest of the day at work ding Danielle's job. Which to be honest, working at a museum was pretty easy. You just put things there and let people look at them. I just had to sit there, answer any question people had, and look pretty, which I most certainly did.
It had been a week since we swapped, and although each of us were doing pretty well living each other's lives, we were both getting very concerned about not swapping back yet. Just because we were doing ok as each other didn't mean we wanted to be in the other's body. I wanted to be me, a man, not some weak little woman sitting around a museum all day. I didn't want to have a boyfriend, I wanted to be the boyfriend in this relationship.
I did notice at the museum, the rock did start to get a glow back to it that had disappeared after our use of it. So I thought that meant we could use it again to swap back. But the temporary exhibit it was featured in was ending soon, and it would be moving on to it's next home. If me and Danielle were gunna get back into our right bodies, we would have to do so soon.
So we came up with a plan. The museum was having a gala on Saturday night to celebrate the exhibit we had featured, before it was packed up and moved out. We were closed Sunday and by Monday, the temporary exhibit and the body swapping rock would be gone forever. So we had planned to go to the gala Saturday night, then sneak in to use the rock Sunday morning to swap back before the rock was moved away.
Unfortunately I had to let me girlfriend dress me up for the event. With the eccentric crowd that would be at the gala, she had me dressed in something that had me feeling like a complete fool. This big poofy, pink fur coat. The regular pink fur covering my arms on the sleeve were fluffy enough, but the part of the coat around my body was made of a differnt, even fluffier pink fur. The coat poofed out at least 6 inches thick around my flat tummy, my tiny shoulders, and my boobs. I couldnt believe she was making me go wearing this.
"Dont pout Danielle, it only makes you look cuter," The real Danielle said to me. She had started calling me Danielle to us used to who we temporarily were and not have slip ups. "And calm down, you look absolutely adorable in this. just make it thru tonight, and by tomorrow we'll both be back in the bodies we should be in."
My 'boyfriend' walked over and bent 'his' neck down to kiss me on the lips. No matter the bodies, this was always gunna be the person who was the love of my life.
I went to the museum and the gala was fine if uneventful. But as it was wrapping up, I noticed a big 18 wheeler pulling up just as everyone was leaving. I asked my boss what that was for. She said it was to pack up the exhibit. Apparently they had to leave earlier than planned because the artifacts needed to be across the country by Monday. They were packing up the exhibit and leaving now, tonight, and taking with them my only way to become a man again.
Not knowing what to do cuz I couldn't exactly walk right up and steal it in front of these people, I just sat in my car and watched the movers back up the exhibit. As I wondered which box contained my only hope to be me again, I cried as I realized when this truck left, it meant I would be Danielle, I would be this sweet little woman, for now and forever.
The movers wrapped up, and I watched the trucks tailights disappear around the corner. That was it. I'm not Robert and never will be. I'm Danielle. Her job at the museum is now my job at the museum. Her cute little body, is now my cute little body. Her stupid pink fluffy coat, was now my stupid pink fluffy coat. Her boyfriend Robert is now.. gulp... my boyfriend Robert.
And that reminded me, he would probably be crushed as well, being stuck as the new man in the relationship.
I got home, still crying, and the new Robert came over and consoled me as I explained what happened, how we were now stuck as each other. He wrapped me up in my old arms and i looked up into his eyes. he just said, "Well if thats the case, ill just have to be the best boyfriend I can be for you. Shh, c'mon Danielle, everything will be fine. I'll take care of you."
And even though I knew my future had changed to be that of cute little woman, I thought everything would be fine as long as I always had this love in my life.
