"Perhaps I should just do a test run..." Ivan thought, as he floated downstairs into the dining room. As expected, he found both his wife and son there. His son, Cain, just finished his breakfast and was hoisting his backpack for school. "Mom, I'm gonna head out now!" he waved as he ran out to catch the school bus. "Alright. Have a good day at school, sweetie!" his wife Alice replied with her bright smile. After she wrapped up washing the dishes, Alice sat down at the dining table to finish her morning cup of coffee as she perused the news for the day.
Originally, Ivan wanted to take Cain's life for a run, as being an elementary schooler might invigorate his youthful joy once more. He was about to dash after Cain when he paused to wonder the furthest extent he could travel as a spiritual ball of light. Obviously, his corporeal form remained in his bedroom, and it would be sensible to check on it after obtaining a host body. Of course, that would only leave Ivan with one option...
Floating closer to the unsuspecting Alice, Ivan took a quick gander at his beautiful wife. As usual, Alice has always kept her appearance in tip-top shape due to her work as an realtor. Her dark brown hair was neatly tied in a bun; her face glistened with facial care products and light makeup. Her attire was neat and complemented her professional look well. Today, she was wearing a white blouse with polka dots, a black blazer, a khaki pencil skirt, a dark set of pantyhose, and simple black heels. Honestly, any of her outfits would look great on her, but today's outfit seemed more special, perhaps because Ivan was able to inspect it up close.
Ivan felt his consciousness fading, as that ball of light slowly loses its luster. Remembering the warning from Claris that he can't stay in this ethereal state for more than 5 minutes, Ivan knew he should make a move quickly. "Sorry honey, but I'm gonna borrow your body for a bit. You have told me before to try to empathize with you, so I will take this opportunity to literally be in your shoes. Maybe I will regain my sense of joy by living your life, and you could take a break for once, so to speak." As Alice got up from the table after finishing her coffee, Ivan dove into her chest, aiming right for her cleavage. Just like before, he felt a sudden rush before blacking out momentarily as he phased into his wife's body. Due to the sudden intrusion, Alice briefly stiffened as she lost her motor control, dropping both her phone and her coffee mug.
Soon after, Ivan felt his senses returning. Not the senses as a ball of light, but actual tactile feelings along with other regular human senses. For example, he could now taste the coffee aroma within his mouth. His nose was picking up the honey-like perfume Alice loves to wear. He felt some longer strands of hair fluttering across his face. There were many other sensations that it almost overwhelmed Ivan. Opening his eyes, he was greeted with the familiar dining table and room setup. However, that quickly became the least surprisingly aspect, as he immediately saw his D-cup breasts hanging below him, hoisted by a garment he was definitely not familiar with. Instead of his usual baggy clothing that he preferred to wear, it was the tight, business outfit that he saw Alice wore moments earlier. As he steadied himself on the heels he now wore, Ivan noticed his fingers were sleeker, and the nails were painted a light pink hue. Amidst all the confusion and disorientation, one thing is for sure: Ivan was definitely not himself.
"Did...did it work?" Ivan initially asked, although the question quickly became rhetorical when he noticed his high pitched voice that sounded just like Alice's. To confirm his suspicions, he made his way to the nearby mirror near the foyer of the house. Of course, he wasn't used to wearing heels, so he found himself stumbling from time to time. But sure enough, Ivan came face-to-face with Alice in the mirror. Raising arms and pinching his face resulted in Alice mirroring the same actions in front of Ivan.
"No way. I'm...Alice now?" Still in disbelief, Ivan decided to go upstairs to check on his own body. Figuring that the heels would be a nuisance, he quickly stripped them off before ascending the stairs. "Wow, these tights actually feel pretty good..." Ivan commented as he rubbed his toes within the nylon garment.
