I was called first. There wasn't anyone else from the room, so I went to the back alone. I had hope to see Larry but he was instead greeted by a woman. Apparently Larry was busy with other parts of the experiment.
"As I am sure you are aware, this experiment is to study the long term effects of body swapping. Because of this you will be expected to keep a journal and make frequent trips to your case handler, which will be myself."
Why isn't Larry the case handler?" I asked. "He was the one that invited my family to participate." I was somewhat annoyed that I was going to lose my body forever and Larry didn't have the decency to be here himself.
"Because Larry is a scientist, not a therapist. He will be around to do brain scans and other tests but I am more interested in how and if your mind adapts. Now, we designed various types of swaps to test different transitions. You will meet your partner in a minute, but before that I wanted to inform you of what we are testing for your swap."
She took a pause as if I should comment. When I didn't she continued. "We are testing the affects on the mind when it experiences puberty a second time as the opposite sex."
That took a moment to sink in I was going to be a girl. A young girl. How young? Would I be the same age as Brad? "What ..." I paused trying to figure out how to say the question. What was I even trying to ask? "How old is my new body?"
She nodded as if she approved of the question. "The female body starts puberty between ages 8-13, so we needed a girl in that range that has yet to show a sign of puberty. I personally struggled with whether the experiment would benefit more from you having time to adapt to your new form first or if we should see the effects on a mind that, let's say doesn't have years to prepare itself. In the end we found an eleven year old girl who should start puberty soon. Depending on how much of a late bloomer she is, it is possible to wait two years, but I believe your puberty will start within 6 months."
I was quiet for a moment. "What exactly are you testing with her? I already went through puberty."
The doctor shrugged. "Mostly. Technically it's 17, not 16 when puberty end in males but close enough. Her tests are to see how a mind never experiencing puberty reacts to being in a... mostly post-pubescent body of the opposite sex. There are some groups testing for this in same sex swaps, but the two of you were lucky enough to be chosen for the more interesting experiment."
"Yay." I responded dryly. "Lucky me."
She smiled and began escorting me to the swap chamber. I heard someone great her as Doctor Watanabe, which was when I realized I never asked her name. A little girl suddenly ran up to me. She was a cute kid with long black hair wearing a pink shirt the words 'Daddy's Girl' on it and blue jeans.
"So, you're my new body." She asked looking me up and down. "At least I'm still cute, even if I'm not a girl anymore."
I rolled your eyes. "I'm glad you're happy."
"OH, I am. I haven't had a period yet, but they sound terrible. Have fun with it though."
Before you could respond, one of the doctors order the both of us into the chambers. I found myself being strapped down to a table, with a helmet placed on my head.
"Anything you would like to say before swapping?" Dr. Watanabe asked.
I heard the girl call out. "Puberty is for suckers!"
After a moment I responded with, "I hate Larry." Afterwards the machine began to hum. I felt a strange tingling sensation in my toes. As the sensation moved up to my feet, my toes went numb. As the sensation moved up my legs, everything below it seemed to vanish. Soon it was as if I had nothing below my knees.
The sensation made its way to my waist as I feel it reach my dick. As it faded, I knew I had felt my manhood for the last time. Silently I said goodbye. As it past my waits, the sensation started in my fingers.
It spread, erasing my body till I was nothing but a head. Soon even that vanished. I floated in space for a bit. No, sight, sound, or touch. There I waited for my new life to begin.
***********************************************
There wasn't a slow, gradual return to my body. Instead, everything return to me when I suddenly woke up in a hospital bed. I had a body again, no tingling and every body part present. Well, mostly every body part. The only one in the room with me was Mariah. Seeing her, I saw her in a way I never had before.
Mariah was tall, beautiful, and had large breats. She had always hung out with guys more than girls. Her interest led her to be considered a tomboy despite how feminine she usually dressed. Was I going to be a girl like her when I got older?
Mariah smiled. "Look who's up! Mom and dad went to see Brad. He woke up first." She leaned in closer. "So, how is my new little sister doing?"
I looked down on myself. Black hair tickled my neck, and I wore the stupid pink shirt, but besides that the body wasn't too different from when I was a little boy. At least what I could see. "This is weird. "
Mariah laughed. "Yeah, but you're so cute. You must be hungry, let's go get the others so we can get breakfast."
I sat up and slid off the hospital bed. I felt a bit dizzy, and my steps were clumsy as I kept expecting my steps to go farther. Mariah suppressed a laugh as I got used to it. I noticed how big everything was now. Would I get as tall as I was before? I didn't see the girl's parents. I didn't even get her name. Would I ever see the world as I had before?
