Swapping Back
It's been three days since I got Frank's body. It's not too bad. The master bedroom was very comfortable and I was lucky that the midnight craving did not drive me to rape my own body. Life was so boring. Frank wouldn't let me, his body, do house work. All I did was lying around, watching television and looking at research papers in the laboratory.
Magenta was sitting on the dining room, reading the voodoo book. I was sitting across her and I read the back cover out loud, "Recreating ancient voodoo recipe using modern science materials. An introduction to the world of old science."
"Riff, we should read more often. This book is amazing. Check out this recipe," she handed the book to me.
"Make babies with your brother, a recipe to incestuous siblings," I asked, "Oh I get it. You want a baby with me? Let's do it now." I stood up and was ready to take off my pants. Whoa, why was Frank's body always turned on by anyone?
"No, not this side of the page," She pointed to the other page.
"Make your master listen to you, a potion to mind control," I said it out loud, "And the ingredients are not hard to get."
"We should try this recipe some days," Magenta said. We smiled at each other.
Frank and Columbia walked into the room. I quickly closed the book.
"So, you should praise for me," He threw an item list on the table, "It's done. The materials we needed had all arrived. We should be back to our bodies by the end of the night."
"Nice, everything can go back to normal," I said.
"Great, I can hardly wait," Magenta stood up and kissed Frank's cheek. She quickly said, "This kiss is not for you. It's for Riff, but I didn't want to kiss your body."
"I don't care. I am keeping it," he said, "You can't take back a kiss."
For the rest of the day, the four of us were in the lab, throwing materials in the tank, making solutions and trying to recreate the explosion.
"Some of the ingredients are very rare. What we have here is only enough for one explosion, therefore, if we make a mistake, we will be stuck in this body for weeks, or maybe a month," Frank warned me as I put the last ingredient in the tank.
By the light of the night, I held up a test tube of blue solution and said, "So, once we drop this test tube into the tank, an explosion will occur and we shall be back to our bodies. Are you ready?"
"I have been ready since the moment I got your ugly body. I can't wait to give it back to you," he said.
I didn't care if he called me ugly. I was too excited for this moment, "Very soon, I can be with Magenta again."
"Tonight my dear, tonight," She whispered to my ear and I could feel the chill up my spine. I'd got to leave this body before it started taking Magenta's dress off.
"I think I am going to miss you," Frank said, "Want to wait a little longer?"
I shook my head, "No..." I dropped the solution into the tank and BOMB! I flew five feet across the lab and so did Frank.
I looked at my hands. They were MY hands.
I pushed myself up and walked to the mirror. It was MY face.
Frank rushed over and stood next to me.
"I am ME again!" We said in unison. We hugged and span like children.
This was so exciting. Looked like the recipes in the book was quite reliable. I couldn't wait to make some babies... (*cough) mind control potions with Magenta.
The End? Wait no...
Magenta and Columbia walked out of the smoking scene, coughing.
Columbia wrapped her arms around me and said, "I am so happy you are back, Riff."
Magenta held Frank's face with her hands and gave him a tongue kiss. WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON?
"Columbia, why are you hugging me?" I asked. Columbia and Magenta looked into the mirror.
"Oh Riff, how can that be happening? I am Magenta," said Columbia's body.
"I am Columbia," Magenta's body squealed. I never knew Magenta's pitch could go this high.
"OH CRAP," I signed.
The End
They are doing RHPS screening with live shadowcast at Vancouver RIO Theatre tonight midnight. I won't be going (need to wake up at 6am tomorrow...), but if you live in Vancouver, you don't want to miss it!
