I see a man with long blonde hair and a beard stare back at me. "What just happened!" I hear my voice say. I turn around and see my old body looking at my hands. "I think we swapped bodies" I say in a deep and gruff voice. "What the hell?" He says. "Change me back now!"
"I don't think so" George says. He walks to the machine and examines it. "The entire thing is fried" He says. I look at the machine and notice smoke arising from it along with a few scorch marks. "Could you fix it?" I ask. "Probably. But I would need spare wires for the parts you messed up" George says. "Let's try to find some..." I begin to say when Dale enters the room.
"Alvin! George! What are the two of you doing here?" Dale says. "I uh..." George stammers. "They were helping me" I say. Dale looks confused. "Who are you?" He asks. "He's a camp counselor from Nature Camp" My body says. "Yes I'm new and these two boys were helping me after I wandered in here by accident" I lie. "Ok... good job boys! Anyway if you were looking for nature camp it's a mile east. People always get them confused based on their close location" Dale says. I thank him and walk out of the room with everyone.
"Boys I expect you to meet me in Building B! The orientation hasn't ended yet." Dale says and as he walks away my body grabs me. "Listen we need to swap back now!" He says. "George how long will it take you to fix the machine" I ask him. "Well I can fix it tomorrow in the morning but we need to sneak back in here" George says. "I've got an idea" I grab some tape hanging a nearby poster and place it on the side of the door. "Now we can open it when it's locked" I say.
"No way I'm spending a day at geek camp" my body says. "You better! Or I'm not Giving you your body back" I threaten him. "You wouldn't..." he says but I glare at him. "Fine! My names is Ted Owens and I am a camp counselor at Nature Camp . I got off on the wrong stop and entered this building to ask for a ride which I am now regretting. So I told you about myself now it's your turn" he says. "OK I'm Alvin and this is George and we both are attending Science Camp. We wandered in this room and activated the machine by accident" I explain. "Great! Now that the introductions are out of the way how do we change back!?" He says.
"OK let's meet here tomorrow at 3:00 in the morning" George says. "But how will I get here if I have to report to nature camp" I say. "There's a bus that runs between the camps. Just take it around 11:00 PM and hide out in our room till then" Ted says. I frown. The plan sounded highly risky but there were no other options or time to make another plan. "Here take my bag" Ted says. "All my information and stuff is in it" I see the large green hiker bookbag overflowing with supplies and lift it expecting it to be heavy but notice how light it feels. Was the bag incredibly light or was I stronger?
"Remember Alvin! Meet here at 3AM" George says. I wave goodbye and head to the bus stop. After a half hour a bus picks me up and takes me to Nature Camp. "Huh! I never expected to be here..." I say.
I notice a cabin that says: Camp Counselors. I walk over and see another man who instantly grasps my shoulder. "Ted! You made it! Thank goodness we thought you had completely bailed on us. Look we're about to take the campers on a hike; go change and meet us at Haven Trail" the man says. I walk into the cabin and see a room with my name on it. I walk inside and see a room with a bed, dresser, and mirror.
I walk over to the mirror and begin to take my clothes off and reveal my new body. "Woah!" I say in my deeper voice. I was buff! I had an eight pack and two giant pecs but what really surprised me was the amount of body hair I had. It almost reminded me of my dad. I chanel into a counselor uniform I find in the bag and head to the trial.

After our hike we ate some hotdogs around the fire and I came back to my room stuffed. Being a nature camp counselor was fun! No rules, no annoying campers and even better I had a new awesome body. I flex and the seam at my shirt almost rips. Suddenly I look at my watch...it was 11:00 PM! I rush to the bust stop quietly and jump aboard it.
I meet George and Alvin at my room. "Good you're here! Now we need to wait for a few hours until all the Counselors go to sleep" He says. After a few hours the three of us sneak out and into the room from before. "Ok we need to find some wires" he says. We look around the room in cabinets until Ted finds a box of them. George then fixes the machine and turns it on. "OK we need to hurry or else..." Suddenly the machine flashed and I felt myself thrown back. What happend?
