“Well I can’t afford to wait two weeks to get my body back” said Sharni after Kyle had not made a comment. “You’ll have to go back to that shop and buy more of this potion so we can change back. I have a feeling Garth is getting ready to propose and I don’t want him proposing to you”
Oh dear, two weeks in Sharni’s body and her big musclebound boyfriend. I liked Garth. He was a nice guy but not in that way. “We will just have to tell him” Kyle suggested.
“Not if we can avoid it. The fewer people who know about this the better as far as I am concerned. Go back to the shop and buy more of that potion. Hopefully we can change back before Garth picks me up tonight. That’s at 7 pm. You have 4 hours. Otherwise it will be you who will take up Garth’s hint to ‘Wear something nice’”
“I can’t go out looking like this. I look like a girl”
“You are a girl and there is nothing wrong with the way you look. I didn’t actually realise just how hot I was. I’ll give you my handbag and you can take my car. Just buy another bottle of that potion and bring it back here. Don’t touch it before we are back. Clearly we have to be looking at each other if we want to swap back. I don’t want you swapping my body with anyone else"
Sharni didn’t want her body seen without make-up, so Kyle found himself getting his blonde hair brushed and lipstick applied to his face. He was then given a grey handbag and sent back to the magic shop.
Kyle was very self conscious as he got out of Sharni’s car. The knee length skirt he was wearing hugged his body and showed off his feminine curves. He was a least greateful that Sharni had relented and allowed him to wear flat sandals. She had originally wanted him to wear 3 inch heels.
Fortunately he was able to find a parking spot only a short distance from the store. He was able to get into the shop without having to interact with anyone. He immediately returned to the shelf where he had found the potion. There was one bottle left. Kyle grabbed it and returned to the counter.
Instead of the old man who had called himself a wizard, behind the counter was a bored looking goth girl.
“I’ll take this please” Kyle told her. He was still amazed at the sound of his own voice. It did match his body though
“That will be 150 dollars” said the girl without looking at him/her.
“150 dollars?” asked an incredulous Kyle. “It only cost me 15 dollars this morning”
“I guess you weren’t desperate for it this morning. 150 dollars is the price take it or leave it. I’m just a worker here I can’t give discounts”
‘I’ll take it’ muttered an unhappy Kyle. He extracted his credit card from Sharni’s handbag and handed it over. He really didn’t have a choice.
The girl took his card and made the sale. She then said “Make sure you read the instructions and follow the directions. That’s pretty powerful magic”
Too little too late, thought Kyle as he hurried back to Sharni’s car. The bottle of potion tucked safely in Sharni’s handbag.
