Prompt 1 – Body Swap
The moment she woke up, Bo regretted going clubbing the night before. She was groggy, cranky, and ridiculously hung over. She reckoned it was worse than the time Musashi had taken her and Tamsin out for drinks, and that had been bad. Her memories of the last night were limited.
Well at least she had a simple cure for the pounding headache, and Tamsin was always up for that.
Bo rolled over groggily, shielding her eyes from the irritating stream of light pouring into the room, and poked the Valkyrie's shoulder. "Tamsin?"
Tamsin groaned. "What?"
"I'm hungover as hell. Can I?"
"Ugh. Whatever succulips. Just be quick about it. I'm tired." Tamsin flopped over.
Well apparently the Valkyrie wasn't as willing as Bo had thought she would be…
Bo opened her eyes as she leaned in to take her cure. She stopped short of Tamsin's lips and did a double take. It was not Tamsin who lay there, but herself.
Shocked, she shrieked. "Tamsin! What the fuck did we do last night?"
Tamsin opened her eyes and likewise, freaked out. "What the hell? What the hell? Why am I you? Why are you me?"
Bo let the shock register for a second. "Uh…did we do drugs? Are we hallucinating?"
"I don't think we can both hallucinate the same thing." Tamsin started lightly slapping her new face. "Bo, how do we fix this?"
Bo ran her hands, well Tamsin's hands actually, over her body. She had been in this position once before, but it never stopped being strange. "We start by figuring out what happened in the first place. I've done this before."
Tamsin watched as Bo stroked her body. "Hey! I know I'm hot but you can stop feeling me up now. I mean you. Ugh! This is so weird."
"Okay. Okay," Bo waved her hands around. "Keep calm. What did we drink?"
"Uh, vodka, vodka, and more vodka?" Tamsin suggested.
Bo glared. "That is not helpful."
"I'm sorry but I'm blanking. I have no idea. This damn headache." She massaged her temples.
"I'm sure mine is worse. You drank two times as much and now I get to deal with the aftermath."
Tamsins eyes widened. "Hey, if I'm in a succubus body does that mean I can get an instant hangover cure?"
"No." Bo got out of bed and started pacing nervously. She felt wobbly. "Woah, you're tall. I mean I'm tall. How can you walk with legs like these?"
"Well how can you carry around these things?" Tamsin grabbed her boobs, then realizing she was not actually grabbing her boobs persay, promptly let go. "Sorry."
"Do you remember anything?" Bo asked.
"There was that restaurant. I remember that, yeah. You paid. So that was cute. But then there was that club nearby. I remember dancing. And some guy, he was hot, I mean not you hot, but hot. He gave us Jell-O shots. I think? Or was it Tequila?" Tamsin shrugged.
"Jell-o shots?" Bo tried to remember. "Oh…that guy. That hot guy?"
"Did we have a threesome?" Tamsin asked. "I remember him watching us for some reason. He was watching us, I'm sure of it."
"Now your making it sound creepy. What kind of fae can switch people's bodies? Is there anyone who does this kind of stuff for fun? Some stupid fae who thinks this is hilarious?"
She watched as her, no, Tamsin's face widened in some realization.
"Oh no. What?"
"I may just be imagining it, or wishfully thinking…but I think we did body shots?"
"Well that's clue number one." Bo grabbed her jacket. "Get up. We're going to the Dal."
"Yo want to drink again? Now? I mean tonight sure but not…"
"Not for drinks! So Trick can get us out of this mess!"
Once at the Dal, they ran up to the bar. It was only noon, but people were already getting their afternoon fix.
"Trick!" Bo called out. "Trick, you have to help us!"
"Uh, yes, Tamsin…can I help you?" Trick looked confused at the Valkyrie's request for help. They didn't usually exchange words.
"I'm not Tamsin."
"I am." Tamsin waved.
Trick looked back and forth, from Bo to Tamsin and back again. "Wait, are you two drunk already?"
"We wish. Anyways long story short we did body shots and we can't remember much else but we woke up…like this!" Bo started to pace back and forth anxiously. "We need your help. I want my body back."
"Hey!" Tamsin snapped, taking it as an insult.
"No, not because of your hotness. That part is not a problem." Bo threw up her hands in exasperation. "Because this is weird and I want my powers back."
"Well," Tamsin said, "I could go with this seduce everyone I meet feeling." As if on cue, her fingertips lit up. "Woah."
"No! Don't!" Trick warned. "You don't know how to control each other's powers."
"Well I don't know how to stop it!" Tamsin started shaking her hands around as if they were on fire.
Bo couldn't help but laugh.
"Who gave you these body shots exactly?"
Bo glared.
"Okay, so I guess you don't remember…"
"What did we just say a thousand times!" Tamsin threw her still-glowing hands up in the air.
Trick cleared his throat. "Uh, well, if it's what I think it is, which is a leprechaun, then there is a very quick and easy cure for it…"
"What?!" Bo and Tamsin shouted in unison.
Trick tried not to look embarrassed. "You've got to do more body shots. To reverse it."
Both women, feeling sick already, groaned. But they wanted their bodies back too badly to protest.
Tamsin slung her arm over Bo's shoulder. "We will just get started early today. Really early."
"Tequila?" Bo suggested, shrugging the Valkyrie off and reaching for the bottle off the bar.
"I'll get the salt and limes." Tamsin made her way behind the bar. She emerged a few moments later, goods in hand.
It was then they noticed Trick standing there awkwardly.
They laughed in unison. Doing body shots off themselves was going to be very strange indeed.
"Is there someplace private we can do this?" Bo asked. "I mean I'm sure your patrons wouldn't mind watching but…"
Trick pointed at a far door down the hall and looked away. "So many glasses…must polish…"
Bo grabbed Tamsin's arm with her free hand, and dragged her towards the door. "We are never drinking that much again."
Tamsin laughed, then willingly followed her down the hall.
The End.
