Misplaced In Space --
An Untold Story From The Logs Of The Jupiter 2
As told by the 'other' stowaway,
Caleb Jones, whom they never found ...
Last week, the crew of the Jupiter 2 went on an exploratory
adventure in search of food to replenish their kitchen's meager
resources. When they returned to the intergalactic vessel they
now call home after an unexpected encounter with mysterious
aliens, they all seem a little unsteady and unsure of
themselves and each quickly retired to the lower deck to
recuperate.
All seemed uncomfortable and rather disturbed by the aliens
they had barely escaped from, but no one was willing to talk
about it yet.
At least not until now,
back in the safety of their cabins aboard the Jupiter 2.
~~~~~~~~~
We first check in on Mr. and Mrs. Robinson in their cabin where
they are arguing like typical parents whether to tell the others
about the alien being they had encountered. The happily married
couple still found it hard to believe the aliens had exchanged
their bodies but the evidence was incontroversial.
As Mrs. Robinson put it as she studied her husbands face in the
mirror, "The children are troubled enough by our imprisonment
by the aliens, dear. I don't think they are ready to deal with
parents who no longer look like they did all their lives and are
now different genders as well. It is going to be tough enough for
the two of us to get a handle on this as it is. We don't want to
upset the others, John."
"I think you are right. After all, dear..." said John Robinson from
within his wife's body. "It will be enough for all of us to deal with
the fact that I am pregnant!" He shivered at his unexpected fate.
"You must be brave dear, stress isn't good for either you or the
baby. Besides, it's not so terrible to be pregnant. I had the first
three kids with that body so I should know!" says the now male
mother, while thinking... "Thank God he is having this one. I love
my kids but the pain was awful each time! I hope we don't find a
way to switch back until at least ten months from now!"
~~~~~~~~~
Now we observe Will and Penny Robinson. The two teenagers
are having an eerily familiar discussion. Penny is at the computer
in Will's cabin while her brother is almost in tears. "Please, Will,
you have to figure out a way to get us back into our real bodies.
I don't want to be a boy! Why did you ever try to talk to those
aliens when we found them? We should have run away like I
wanted and we wouldn't be like this now." She gestured at her
short male body which had belonged to Will until the alien
encounter.
Will gave up on his research. All hopes for a reverse seemed
futile. "I'm sorry Penny! There is no known way for us to
change back. I think we are going to stay like this forever
unless the aliens come back someday! You know I didn't ask
for this either, Penny, but it looks like we had better get used
to being each other." Taking a moment to reflect on his new
body, Will thought to himself, 'I wanted to explore a girls boobs
but I never thought they would belong to me! They are kind of
neat to have even though they tend to get in my way sometimes...'
A smile appeared on Penny's face as she realized there might
be some benefits to becoming her brother Will. 'No more periods
for me -- they're all yours now, little brother!" And I will be able to
run fast like you now that I AM you! No more bouncing boobs to
slow me down,' she thought to herself as she looked down at the
sight of a flat chest. The former tomboy had grown used to seeing
the two growing mounds of flesh on her chest and a part of her
would miss them. She had expected to have them for the rest of
her life. And they did feel pretty nice even if they often seemed to
have no reason to exist. It wasn't as if there were any boys to
attract and tease with them any more. There was only Will, and
he was her brother, so he didn't count, even if she had caught him
staring at her chest more than once while her figure matured and
she grew up.
Now Will would get to touch them and play with them all he wanted
and she would have to wait to find some girl somewhere in the vast
universe before she got to touch a pair again. It was a good thing
after all that she liked girls at least as much as she liked boys.
Being a boy could prove to be a lot of fun after all. Besides, if they
never found any other humans again, it wouldn't matter much which
body she and Will occupied. They would remain virgins in whatever
body they wore until they found someone who wasn't a relative to
love. That could take the rest of their lives if they were unlucky.
It was a big and mostly empty universe!
After a brief discussion, they decided not to tell their parents or
the others about what the aliens had done to them. It would
just be too embarrassing having everyone realize Penny now
had Will's penis, and Will had her vagina and breasts. They
could barely talk about such things with each other now that
they needed to, let alone with their parents, no matter how
much they loved them.
Suddenly Penny felt Will punch her shoulder! "What's the big
idea, Will?"
"I just realized I'm older than you now, Penny, so you have to
do what I tell you, little brother!"
For the first time since the body switch, they both giggled and
laughed like the children they still were!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Judy and Major West left the kitchen after a quick
snack and walked to their cabin. They kept the pretense of
separate cabins for the sake of the kids and Judy's parents but
had long ago altered the wall between their cabins to retract
into the wall leaving them with a double sized bunk to share.
It wasn't as if they had a lot of choices in potential mates to
choose from lost in unknown space but that hardly mattered.
They loved each other and planned to marry one day soon.
They smiled at each other as they passed Will's cabin and hear
the younger kids laughing. Each wished they had such peace of
mind again but after meeting the aliens, their lives had forever
changed and they were still trying to adjust. For the first time
since they had wandered off and had been experimented on by
the aliens, they were about to be alone with each other long
enough to do more than talk to each other.
Once they enter the cabin, they begin to gingerly explore their
new bodies with each other. Don tried but he just couldn't accept
kissing a man let alone anything else with one, even if the man
was his own body with Judy inside of it! He pulled the large
hairy hand off of the soft mounds of flesh he now had on his
chest. Then he began crying gently, as unfamiliar feminine
emotions coursed through his body. "I'm sorry Judy, but I don't
want to be a girl, not even you. I liked being a guy. Now I'm all
soft and weak. A woman. But the thought of sex with a man,
well, it just doesn't feel right, Judy. I hope you understand..."
Judy felt virile and manly in her new body. Every time she
looked at her former body, she felt the still unfamiliar but ever
more exciting feeling of swelling manhood! She knew patience
was a virtue, but as she whispered in Don's pierced ear, "You
are me now, Donny, and I always put out for you because you
said you loved me and you needed sex. Well, now that I am
you, I understand that need. It's turnabout time, time to give as
well as you got -- as you so often said, 'I need Sex'!"
"Be gentle, Judy, this is all so strange and different for me."
The Ex-tough major begged his girlfriend as she paraded her
manhood in his face. His body felt strangely submissive. "Maybe
if you help me to learn about the way this body of yours feels, I'll
feel the same way you did about my body now that you have it
instead of me."
So began the education of Major Don West in the pleasures of
his new femininity, and Judy was an excellent, if somewhat speedy
educator. Later, they agreed that it wasn't the right time yet to
tell the others what happened. It was difficult enough to admit to
each other that their new lives might be fun after all, let alone
discuss it with someone who wasn't going through the same
exchange of lives.
They decided there could be worse fates the aliens could have
done to them!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our last look inside the Jupiter 2 takes us to the Robot and
Doctor Smith. The Robot uncharacteristically keeps calling
Smith a blithering booby for getting the alien mad at them.
In mechanical tones, the robot wailed, "Oh no, this can't be
happening to me, good old kindly Dr. Smith! Oh, the pain,
the pain!"
"Actually, you have NO pain sensors in your body now,
Doctor Smith. And it appears to be functioning properly.
The pain must be imaginary. I suggest you calm down your
circuits and adjust to your new situation and I will try to do
likewise." The Robot rhythmically blinked his new eyes in
Doctor Smith's body. The functions of his new body would
need some major modifications. And obviously, so would his
former mechanical shell as well. "I believe you need
reprogramming, Doctor. Turn around so I can access your
memory banks. None of the others must ever learn of this
exchange!" He tried to resist but Smith's clumsy, robotic
body betrayed him. Soon, the Robot was his old self again,
and Doctor Smith unexpectedly became an efficient and
happy member of the lost in space colonists.
And the adventure continued...
Until the end...
