You decide to wait until tomorrow to do anything. Brooke has to go to class sometime and you are sure that the school doesn't allow pets to attend class. It would be safer to wait until she is gone to try to escape.
You try to get some rest, but find yourself unable to go to sleep. Maybe your new body is wired differently or maybe you are just too nervous about your plans for tomorrow. You grab the book Claire dropped, hoping that reading will help you go to sleep.
The book is full of nonsense about channeling your inner spirit and communing with Mother Earth through rituals. Complete hogwash! You can't believe that Claire wastes her time with such nonsense. She seems like an odd but practical girl. A few of the pages are dog-eared and littered with handwritten notes - beauty enhancement and love spells? Was Claire really interested in stuff like that? It doesn't seem likely.
You are about to give up on the book when a loose page flutters to the ground. It looks different than the other pages, older and more worn. The writing is hard to read, written in fancy calligraphy. But you can just make out what the spell is supposed to do. It is some kind of body swapping spell!
You don't believe there is any way it could work, but you figure it is worth a shot. The worst it could do was wake up Brooke and make her angry. At best - well, it might not return you to normal but at least you would no longer be a pet.
The spell seems simple enough. Just read the incantation and make contact with the person you want to swap bodies with. You slowly and quietly get up, opening the book to a random page and placing the loose page on top of it so you could properly read it. You hop over to the side of Brooke's bed, reading quietly aloud but clearly speaking the words. The incantation is long and every time Brooke stirs in her bed your heart skips a beat. You are almost done when you hear a loud noise behind you.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing with my book?! Give it back!"
Claire jumps up off her bed and angrily storms over to you. You had completely forgotten about her. And you were so close to finishing the spell! You try to ignore her and continue the spell.
"I said give it back!" says Claire as she grabs a hold of your wrist.
You feel a slight tingle where she touches you. Claire gets a funny look on her face and you wonder if she feels it, too. You pray she didn't ruin the spell. You haven't completed the incantation yet, so you still have some hope.
"What are you yelling about?" says Brooke as she groggily wakes up. She glares angrily at Claire. "What have I told you about staying on your side of the room? Get your filthy hands off my pet!"
Brooke stands up and faces down Claire. She is quite a bit taller and more intimidating. But Claire refuses to back down.
"That little pest stole my book! It was probably going to eat it or shit on it or something. That book is my personal property! You need to control that little rat or I might have to get a cat to do it for you!" says Claire angrily.
You use the distraction to continue your incantation. You are almost finished.
"It's not a rat, it's a bunny! And it was probably just trying to clean up the mess you leave around here. If anybody is a rat, it is you! At least you act like one! Now get your hands off my precious bunny and give her to me!" says Brooke.
Brooke grabs your hand just as you finish the incantation. You feel a strong tingling on both arms as the world fades to white.
You blink rapidly as the world slowly comes back into focus and find yourself in the body of .....
