'What the fuck! Are you saying I've just fucked a man?'
'Well I'm not exactly a man at the moment. I'm very much a woman. Who am I by the way?'
'Jack? Jack from room 31? I don't believe it. This is some sort of joke. Are there hidden camera's somewhere?'
'No joke. I am Jack and the medallion turned me into Sharon. I was Jacky first, the girl with the fellow who barged in last night, then Sharon and now this' she gestured at herself. 'You still haven't told me who I am'
'So you were a woman first? That makes me feel much better. You are Dana now. My ex. Well we were not actually married, but we lived together for long enough that she took half of what I owned'
Jack decided not to clear up Jacob's misconception. Clearly it would only distress Jacob. 'Well like I said, I'm going to get going. Thanks for letting me stay the night'
'Any time Dana. You know we really had something. Are you sure you don't want to give us a second chance?'
Jack was puzzled 'Jacob you are forgetting I'm not the real Dana. I want to get back into my own body'
'Oh yeah. Sorry .... Sharon, I keep forgetting. But I mean what I said. You enjoyed the sex didn't you? Why don't you stay as you are? Become Dana and move back in with me'
Jack had to admit to herself that she had enjoyed the sex. 'And what happens when the real Dana comes back?'
'Last I heard she was over the other side of the country. I haven't heard from her in 10 years. Once she got hold of my money she was gone. Never even came back to collect her clothes'
'You mean what I'm wearing?'
'Your whole wardrobe. I always hoped you would come back. I've kept everything'
'I'm not the real Dana'
'Sorry I keep forgetting. You even sound like her'
'It's just the medallion. Look I've got to get going. Thanks again'. Jack had Sharon's handbag with the medallion safely zipped up inside but she had to get back to her own apartment where she could get some Jack clothes.
Jacob replied 'If you ever need a place to stay you are always welcome here' but Jack ignored the man and left the apartment.
A minute later she was outside the door of apartment 31. Where had she put that spare key? She fumbled through the handbag but couldn't find it. It wasn't in the bag. She felt like a total idiot when she realised it was probably in the pocket of the jeans she had been wearing when she was Sharon. Those jeans were back in Jacobs apartment. The last place Jack wanted to return to but what choice did she have?
She was quite shocked when the door of the apartment opened.
