Summary - Darien and Serena are the CEO's of two rival companies. What happens when disaster strikes and they somehow magically

Darien grabbed a pillow from beside him and threw it on top of his head. "Why do I torture myself like this every single morning?" He muttered.
Darien threw the pillow to the other side of the bed. He opened his eyes to hopefully greet a sunny day. His vision was blurred but it was getting
better as he slowly adjusted to the light of his bedroom. "Huh? This so doesn't look like my room!" He said. Quickly, he looked around, "Oh shi --
sugar," He corrected himself.
This rather looked like a girls room. Hairbrushes and jewelry were sitting on the chest of draws that sat against a nearby wall. Darien lifted
his hand up to brush a hand through his hair, something he did when he was worried. Darien strangely felt his hair, it seemed longer and oh my
God - it was a different colour all together.
"What was the last thing I remember?" he asked himself as he walked into what seemed to be the bathroom. "Sandra, Yes I was in bed with
Sandra and then I must have gone to sleep and I woke up here with different hair. That can't be right! It scientifically impossible." A mirror
hung on a wall in the bathroom, Darien approached it, fearing what he might see.
"Ok I'm blonde, I'm cute, I'm a...girl. What in hell?" Darien yelled, "I look like that women I meet yesterday, Serena Moon. Ok this is not
happening, Darien. For Christ's sake, look at yourself you look like a nervous wreck. On...second thoughts don't look at yourself." He paced
back and forth trying to decide either why this happened or better yet, how this happened?
"May I help you?" a voice rang out. Darien jumped and turned towards what looked to be a man in a black cloak. He looked about in his early
40's. "Who are you?" Darien asked. Darien hadn't noticed this before, but his voice seemed different. 'It's her voice he told himself.' The man
sighed, "I am the Watcher, a being which serves and protects all living things. But you may call me Jackson," He added. Darien froze. "You
did this to me right?"
"Yes," Jackson answered. "Why?" Darien asked. The man pulled the cloak over his head, "I cannot tell you that. I do not interfere in other
Species' business. I shall be monitoring you for the time being. Farewell for now. Feel free to call upon me at any time." "Wait you come back
here right now, Don't you realize you have already interfered?" Darien yelled as Jackson mysteriously disappeared without a trace. "Oh great
I'm in Serena's body and then this weird man in a black cloak shows up and tells me that. What a great day this has turned out to be!"
Serena sat down on the couch. She had managed to get dressed in a business suit but it was very hard to do that when you were trying to
keep your eyes closed. Serena had decided to go around to her place to see if Darien had been placed in her body. But first she had to get
rid of his dumb girlfriend. "Darien honey, I have to leave soon. Come and say goodbye," Sandra's voice rang out. 'Oh no just what I needed
a goodbye kiss session.'
"Coming," Serena said in Darien's voice. Serena quickly got off the couch intending to say goodbye and slam the door in this women's face.
"There you are," Sandra's said in a sexy voice that meant trouble. "I'll see you very soon, my little sweetie pie," Sadra said as he kissed Serena
on the cheek. Sandr was about to kiss Serena on the mouth when Serena pushed Sandra's out the door, "Yeh talk to you soon. Sorry but I'm
very busy today."
Sandra stood there for a second before she whispered goodbye sweetly and went on her way. Serena closed the door quickly and rushed
back into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat before she left for her house. "You handled that very well," A man wearing a black cloak said.
Serena stared at him completely shocked. "Well I don't know how you got in here, but I would like you to go right now," Serena told him as
she slowly opened one of the kitchen draws silently. She hoped that, that would be the place where the knives were kept.
"There is no need for that. I am the Watcher, a being which serves and protects all living things. But you may call me Jackson," The man
answered. "You? You did this to me. I can sense it." The Jackson chuckled, "Your senses do you well. It t'was me." "This is not a game, you
know and yet you treat it like one," Serena stated truthfully. "You seem to be much easier to handle than that man." "What man? Darien Shields!
Have you seen him today? He's in my body right?" Serena said quickly.
"Yes, yes everything's fine," The Watcher replied. A little flash of red light beeped on his wrist. He looked down towards it. "I must leave am
I wanted, please feel free to call upon me at anytime." "What are you going to do about this? I want my body back?" She yelled at Jackson,
but it was useless he had already left.
Darien had just finished making himself a sandwhich when a knock at the door could be clearly heard. 'A visitor?' Darien asked himself as
he made his way towards the door. He opened the door, to be greeted by himself, well his real body. "Darien?" the visitor inquired. "Yes,
Serena Moon?" "Yes, can I please come inside?" Serena asked. "Oh of course. After all this is really your apartment not mine."
Serena made her way to the lounge room chair. "Where shall I start? I don't have any idea how this happened?" Serena blurted out. Darien
who was busy pouring two glasses of Orange juice for himself and his guest answered, "The Watcher, Jackson. He has something to do
with it." Serena smiled, "You got that right! I trust that you meet him earlier this morning."
"Unfortunatly," Darien said flatly, he handed Serena a glass of Orange juice and settled himself on the chair closest to her. Serena laughed,
"This is so weird, seeing myself like this. I mean seeing you looking like me or acting like me." Darien sighed, "I know what you mean by that."
"This Jackon person, why would he do such a thing liek this?" Serena asked.
"I got the impression that we were like his lab rats, like we were in some special sort of experiment that is set to entertain people not unlike
himself," Darien told her. "Ditto," Serena answered. Darien smiled. 'This girl she managed to make me smile and that didn't happen often
even Sandra had trouble making me smile. If we ever get out of this situation remind me to ask her out sometime. Well that's if I ever got
rid of Sandra.'
"I have a meeting in about an hour and well I need you to go and well what I'm trying to say is, I need you to become me," Serena told him.
"Shouldn't be that hard? What's this meeting about?" Darien asked. Serena smiled and grabbed a piece of paper of the coffee table in the
dining room.
"Here this should tell you all you need to know. Also do you have anything that I could do for you?" Serena asked as she handed Darien the
piece of paper. "Well I haven't got any appointments today if that's what you mean, but I think i might need you at that meeting, in the
crowds at least," Darien said as he studied the piece of paper more carefully. As he looked at the bottom few words on the paper, he frowned.
"Sure," Serena said, "We should really get going." Darien looked towards the clock in the kitchen. "Yeah ok, but one more thing before we depart
this apartment and I play you and you play me. What are we going to do? How are we going to switch bodies?" "The Watcher, I think he has the
power to switch us back. Maybe after we have satisfied his interests," Serena told Darien. They quickly closed the apartment door and made their
way to the Stock Exchange building, yet again.
"Ah, I thought you would never get here," Steven Prince, President of TeleCommunication said to Darien who was trying as best he could to
sway his hips and flirt with every man he saw, the typical girl - as he put it. "Sorry, I was caught in traffic," Darien said as he pushed some golden
hair of his face. "I see you brought a friend," Steven joked as he looked towards Darien or rather Serena. "Ahh, this is Darien Shields, CEO of
Phone Vision. I brought him along so he could see us at work," Darien lied.
"Welcome if you would take a seat," He said to Serena. She quickly nodded and replied, "Thank you." She found a chair and tried the
best to act like Darien. She carefully placed her legs wide apart and slumped down in her seat. She also tried to make a growling noise in the
back of her throut. Many of the men and women looked towards her, all giving her weird looks. 'Ok I guess this is would not be a good time
to start spitting,' She told herself as she straightened back up and tried to blend in with the crowd.
Darien too was having troubles trying to crossing his legs. He kept accidently thumping them on the table. 'How cna I possbility do this? Oh god
that man's looking at me should I smile or look distgusted,' He said to himself. Smiling was the safest option. The man smiled back at him
and Darien turned toards the crowd readying himself to talk. The man still kept looking at him. 'Remind me next time I switch bodies. Don't be
stuck in the body of a very beautiful women.'
"We are all here today to address the issue of our new production cables which are being set-up in East Germany. I would now like to pass
you over to, Serena Moon, one of the top ground staff of this project," Steven sat down and looked at me as if to say 'your on.' Darien looked
towards Serena who was to busy trying not to dra attention to herself, which was not easy. She looked up at him and nodded.
"Well as you know construction has begun in East Germany for our new communication lines which are to bring much needed business into
our sector. This means that we will have to hire new staff for this project therfore increasing our overall business structure. We are now
able to go up against what we like to call 'the big boys' in Germany. We hope that the sucess of this project will allow future ventures into
that untouched territory," Darien said as he looked in between the crowd and the pieces of paper that Serena had given him.
"We may now begin to accept any questions you might have," Steven said. Darien jumped at tha, he looked towards Serena who was looking
a little bit worried. One man in the front row instantly put his hand up, "Do you intend to hire Germans or Americans to fulfil the jobs that come with
this new project?" 'How am i supposed to know? Ummm..it must be somewhere here in these notes,' Darien thought as he fumbled through
the papers of the desk.
'Ahh found it' "We plan to hire both, it's really come down to who has the most experience. Next question!" Darien said rudely cutting that man
off. A women in the same row as Serena jerked out of her seat to put her hand up, "Is it true that you will be not going over to supervise the
project yourself?" 'Now I know that that's not here,' Darien said looking at the papers.
"Seems like you two have got yourself into quite a situation," Jackson mocked as he stood beside Darien on the platform. "What are you doing
here?" Darien asked. Steven looked up from his position in the seat beside Darien, "Excuse me?" "They cannot see me, only you and Serena
can. Well unless i wish them to see me," Jackon said. Darien looked towards Serena who was trying to get a better view of Jackson.
"What do you want?" Darien whispered. "I just thought you might need some help." "I thought you didn't interfere only watch." Jackson sighed,
"I could make an exception."
Was that stupid? The idea? Jackson is very mysteroius at the moment but he will envolve in later chapters. Also there will be more
action so keep reviewing and reading.
