"He said he was going shopping" said the woman now occupying your old teenage male body. "Where would a 7 year old girl like to go?"
"The toy store maybe?" you suggested.
"Yes my body ran off in the direction of the mall" added Roger, the woman who used to be a man. "I couldn't keep up"
"We need to go and find him. But it can't be me or Amy. The policeman told us we had to stay here"
"What policeman?"
"Long story. After we found ourselves in strange bodies our reactions attracted attention. A policeman escorted us home and we were told to stay here until our parents got back home" said John
"So you are going to have to go and find Katie" added Amy. "Besides you are the only one of us who knows what she looks like"
"Me? I can't go out looking like this! I've been turned into a woman"
"Good point" said Amy "What did you do to my blouse?"
"I assume it's the beetroot from the sandwich I was eating when I was attacked"
"Well I won't allow my body to be seen in public looking like that"
"Maybe I could find one of my Mum's shirts" suggested John.
"Show me" said Amy.
Roger was fascinated by the lacy white bra he found himself in when Amy had removed her blouse.
Amy had Roger put on a light blue T-shirt she found in John's mother's wardrobe. She wasn't happy for her body to be seen in such a plain item of clothing but she too had to compromise if she wanted that body back and Roger refused to wear anything more feminine.
It took Amy several minutes to convince Roger that that the only way to retrieve his body was to go back out in public in Amy's body. She also insisted on brushing Roger's hair and reapplying makeup.
They all swapped phones and phone numbers. If Katie turned up back at the house they would inform Roger. The stumbling block came when Roger asked "If I find her, how am I supposed to get Katie to co-operate?"
"Bump heads with her. Then when you are back in your stronger body force her back here" was John's best suggestion.
Amy's suggestion was "Remember despite what she looks like she is just a little girl inside. Act motherly and she might co-operate. Maybe promise her a treat if she comes with you? An Ice-cream or something like that?"
Roger didn't seem impressed with either suggestion. He just said. "I'll wing it" before walking out the front door. Amy winced when she saw the awkward way Roger was walking in her body "I sure hope he doesn't run into anyone I know"
