Harm's Apartment
North of Union Station
The next morning
0715 Romeo
Mac opened her eyes, but instead of seeing the painted ceiling of her own apartment she saw the rafters of Harm's.
What the heck am I doing here? She thought tossing back the sheets and standing. She felt taller today and she didn't quite understand. She ran her fingers through her hair, but where there were none of her brunette locks to be found. Looking down at her hands she let out a yelp. They weren't hers! She was looking down at Harm's strong hands with his academy ring gleaming on one finger. Her manicured nails and slender fingers were gone. She continued her gaze down and was extremely shocked to find the rest of her was Harm as well. Taking a deep breath she tried to rationalize,
"Okay this is all a bad dream. I'll just walk into the bathroom splash some water on my face and then wake up in my apartment." She walked into Harm's bathroom and turned on the faucet and wet her face. Instead of waking up in her nice warm bed, when she opened her eyes and looked in the mirror and saw Harm she shrieked only to find her voice had changed and it too belonged to Harm. Tripping backwards and falling on the floor at the realization and, she gasped,
"Oh my god this is not happening not in my perfectly rational world! I have got to call me or well Harm or damn this is confusing!" She reasoned and standing back up and rushing out to the phone.
Mac's Apartment
Georgetown, VA
0721 Romeo
Harm opened his eyes but instead of seeing the rafters of his apartment he saw the painted ceiling of Mac's apartment he saw the painted ceiling of Mac's apartment.
Why am I here? I remember going to sleep in my own apartment last night. With his eyes half shut still he ran his fingers where there should have been short hair, but instead it was longer and softer then his own. Looking at his hands he noted Mac's slender and manicured fingers instead of his. Trying not to panic her stepped over to her mirror, his face was Mac's not his and when he looked a little lower he freaked.
"OH MY GOD! Those were definitely NOT there when I went to bad last night and neither was that!" EH exclaimed looking down at Mac's ass. Just then the phone rang. It took Harm two rings to regain his wits and when he did he picked up the phone,
"Oh Harm you're there, I think I'm going crazy!" He heard his own voice say into the phone.
"Um yeah I'm here and I'm you and I don't get it, but I thought you weren't going to talk to me." Harm replied and he realized that his voice was higher and very seductive like Mac's.
"Well technically I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to myself, but that's not the point. We need to figure out how we can fix this."
"I say we call in sick." Harm said.
"Well don't you think the Admiral will wonder? No we have to go to work, you come over here okay, and there is a suit bag in my closet it has my uniform and everything with it and there is a makeup bag on the counter of my bathroom. My keys are on the kitchen counter and please don't forget, bring the black heels they are on floor on the right hand side of my closet, got it?" Mac waited for Harm's approval, she wasn't about to trust him in her bedroom any longer then she had to. When she did she said a brief goodbye and they hung up. Harm did exactly as instructed, he thought he should have changed out of her sweats but then he decided against it. Finally juggling everything she asked him to bring he grabbed her keys and walked out the door to her Corvette.
Harm's Apartment
One hour later
Great you're here!" Mac exclaimed when she saw herself walk in the door. She didn't have time to be angry with him, besides she wanted to be herself for that.
"Well your more dressed than I am, but my wings are upside down and crooked." Harm criticized, taking the wings off and repining them correctly.
"You know Harm I kind of like being taller then you and your shoes are much more comfortable." Mac said eyeing Harm's body in the mirror, it had been a strange thing for Mac to dress herself or well Harm this morning and it seemed a little creepy but she was a Marine and had to deal with it. There were some things that she had learned about Harm that would make her blush if she were herself.
Well Mac I'm not so fond of being you Mac, gosh do you wear these things all the time? It's like really bad wedgie that the bully in elementary school would give you." Mac tried to cover a laugh.
"You mean a thong Harm? Yes I do wear them almost all the time. Pantylines while wearing my uniform is very unattractive. Now it's time to get you dressed."
"Mac don't you think I can dress you or me or…I'm really confused."
"Harm let's be honest here okay. You most likely have extensive experience at getting women out of their clothes not putting them in them."
"Well all you have to do is repeat the steps backwards right?" Harm shrugged. Mac couldn't resist laughing at that and then shaking her head she said,
"You wish! Now let's start with the undergarments shall we?" Mac said starting to pull off the shirt that her body was wearing. Harm shut his eyes. It was too much to take in. It was like some psycho dream, watching himself dress Mac from her point of view.
"It's okay you can open your eyes now, or else you won't be able to put on the hose." Mac reassured holding up the nylons.
"Mac you have got to be joking."
"Nope, now remember don't out a run in them or you will be buying me a new pair."
"What makes you think that we are going to change back?" Harm looked at her skeptically.
"I am trying to remain optimistic…NO! Don't put them on like pants stupid!" Mac wailed rushing over to Harm and showing him the proper way. When she finished she straightened and smiled.
"Now for the fun part, your skirt, but first the blouse, here." She tossed it to him and she was relieved to note that he at least knew how to put that on. Harm pulled the skirt up and tucked the top in and stood waiting.
"Well that wasn't so hard."
"Your not done yet, Sailor, now come here and hold onto the counter." Harm did as he was told. Mac started to zip it up.
"Okay Harm I'm going to need you suck in… come on you can do it… just a little more…"
"I can't breathe."
"Just a little further… come on just a little bit…"
"Good Mornin…Oh my gosh! Umm did I miss something?" Mattie asked walking in with her backpack and observing the scene.
"THERE! GOT IT!" Mac said zipping the skirt the remainder of the way. Harm turned around glaring at her.
"Yeah…easy… for you to… say. Oh hi Mattie." Harm gasped in between breaths.
Mac turned around and her eyes widened.
"Harm what is Mac doing here? I thought you two were fighting, you were really when you smashed that… umm, can I borrow a twenty?" Mattie asked confused.
Harm who was finally getting the hang of taking smaller breaths closer together and replied,
"Of course Mattie… here. What do you need them for or is it one of those things I don't want to know about?" Harm picked his wallet up off the counter and pulled out two tens and handed them to Mattie.
"Thanks Mac, Harm she is definitely a keeper, oh Jen is taking me to school today, I have to take in my project." Mattie thanked who she thought was Harm, which was actually Mac and quickly gave her a quick hug and walked out the door. As soon as she was gone Mac elbowed Harm.
"That was real smooth. You could have given us away!"
"I know open foot insert mouth, but I mean now imagine what she thinks. She saw you or well me dressing you and that isn't really something best friends do." Mac's tone suddenly became icy.
"Who said we are best friends?"
"Mac please let's not get into this now, not with me as you. Let's just focus on getting through the day." Harm reasoned. Mac nodded and then helped Harm put on her makeup and after putting her heels on they were almost ready to leave. Harm looked at himself walking out the door, and noted he walked like a woman.
"Mac! Stop moving your hips! That makes me look gay!"
"Fine! Now let's go!" Harm tossed him her coat and after putting on his they walked out the door.
