Thanks to everyone who favourited/followed/reviewed. One more chapter to go.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Castle or the characters.


When Castle had gotten dressed as Beckett earlier this morning, he'd chosen a pair of black pants and a police sweat shirt to wear and sneakers. This meant that they had to stop by Beckett's apartment so he could change into more work appropriate clothes. Beckett had had to change clothes too, now wearing a dark purple shirt of Castle's and dark pants. Castle didn't mind having to change his clothes, what he did mind however were the heels.

After five minutes in heels he began to wonder how on earth Beckett could wear them all day. They were uncomfortable and he kept tripping while wearing them. They did, however, have the advantage of making him taller, closer to the height he was used to.

Beckett had refused to let Castle drive to her apartment but now since they were heading to the crime scene, it would be weird if Castle, or Beckett in Castle's body, was driving her car. Beckett wasn't happy about it but Castle was glad he could finally drive for once without having to win a bet.

Beckett was so embarrassed. Castle had just tripped walking in those stupid heels again, why on earth had she made him wear them, and now he was clutching her arm. In a normal situation she'd find this hilarious. Castle not being able to walk in heels and having to grab her arm for balance but of course this wasn't a normal situation. Also, she couldn't actually think of a normal situation where Castle would be wearing heels but that was beside the point. Anyway, now to the rest of her team, it looked like she suddenly couldn't walk properly.

"Let go, Castle," Beckett hissed, quiet enough that no one else could hear.

"I can't, I'll fall," Castle whispered back.

"I don't care."

"You'd really prefer people see you falling over than you gripping my arm?" Castle asked. He'd got her there. It would also be embarrassing for her if he did fall over but he could also get hurt if he did fall so she let him continue to cling to her arm.

"Is everything okay?" asked Lanie, when Castle and Beckett arrived in front of her, with what looked like Beckett clutching Castle's arm like she was going to fall.

"It's fine," said Beckett and Lanie looked surprised that Castle had answered and in a tone that sounded more like Beckett's.

"Sorry, what have we got?" asked Beckett, trying to smile at Lanie but knowing it was nothing like Castle's normal smiles.

Lanie looked between the two of them and couldn't tell exactly what was wrong but she could tell something was up. Beckett breathed a sigh of relief when Lanie turned back to her notes and started telling them about the victim. They really had to step up their game if they were going to pull this off. Lanie already knew something was different and she'd been around them for less than five minutes.

Castle still had to hold her arm for balance when they walked so entering the precinct, they'd gotten a few strange looks.

"You ok there Beckett?" asked Ryan, noticing that she was still clutching Castle's arm like she had been at the crime scene.

"She's fine," replied Beckett, the boys looking confusedly at Castle for answering and wondering why he'd said it in such a grumpy tone.

"Don't you have work to do?" asked Castle, smiling as they scurried off to do work and enjoying the power that came with being Beckett.

Beckett shot him a look before she went to sit down at her desk.

Castle cleared his throat and Beckett looked up at him, already halfway seated in her seat.

Castle couldn't keep the laughter from his eyes as he spoke, "Isn't that my seat?"

Beckett looked like she was about to argue, anger flashing through her eyes, but she knew it was pointless, there'd be too many questions asked if Castle was seen sitting in her seat.

She grudgingly took Castle's seat where she sat for a few seconds before she burst out laughing.

"What?" Castle asked, puzzled by Beckett's sudden change in mood.

"Now I get to muck around while you do work."

The whole day had been a complete and utter disaster and Beckett just couldn't wait to go home, whether to Castle's or her place she wasn't sure though. Whenever people would talk to them, they'd get confused about who should be talking, Castle responding when he was actually being spoken to and vice versa so it looked like they were answering for each other. They just couldn't get used to it, it was too weird.

And not only that, even just moving and doing normal things they'd do every day was hard. It was entirely bizarre to suddenly be in someone else's body. You take so much for granted in your own body but even balance and movement is different in someone else's.

Beckett banged her head on a shelf when she'd ducked to avoid it but hadn't ducked enough, forgetting the little bit of extra height that Castle had over her. Castle had nearly fallen over when he'd gone to sit on a chair and overestimated the drop and nearly over balanced. By the end of the day they were starting to get used to these different bodies but that didn't mean that the people they worked with would forget how weird they'd been acting all day.

Of course, they'd also both taken advantage of the opportunity to embarrass each other. Not anything too bad but Beckett got a kick out of continuously praising herself, which to others looked like Castle was praising her. Beckett even made a comment about the shoes that Castle was wearing which was more funny due to the fact that it was Castle in her body wearing them. Castle then took that as permission to constantly make remarks about his writing, making Beckett look like an extreme fan of Castle's books.

The funny thing was that both these things were things that they already thought but didn't usually say out loud, with the exception of Castle on occasion. If only they could actually admit these things to each other as well as their deeper feelings for each other and maybe the curse could be broken.

They didn't have much time to discuss their current predicament until that evening when they were heading home, mostly because they'd spent the day teasing each other which had actually proved to be a lot of fun. Castle suggested that they both stay at his loft instead of Castle going back to her place and her to Castle's loft.

Beckett accepted because she didn't really want Castle at her apartment alone. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, because she did, she'd just prefer not to let him out of her sight while they were trying to deal with their current situation. And they were more likely to come up with a solution to their problem of they were together.

They hadn't been able to get in contact with the lady who Castle suspected was behind all of this. They'd try finding her again tomorrow, if they didn't magically switch back over night that is, which was what Beckett was hoping for.

They'd discussed more about how this could've happened, how it was even possible and Castle kept coming back to the mysterious woman who had spoken to them at the precinct.

Beckett had to admit that Castle made a valid point. Some strange woman had told them they should try walking in each other's shoes and then not long later they were in each other's bodies. Still, that didn't explain how it was even possible.

While Beckett had previously been trying to avoid what the lady had said about being "blind" she thought about it more now. About how comfortable she was being here with Castle and how it wasn't so much that she was blind but she was choosing not to see what was right in front of her. The more she thought about it, the more she realised how much she really did want to tell him how she felt and how she wasn't scared anymore. She knew that he loved her and maybe it was time for her to tell him exactly how she felt.


Again, I hope this wasn't too confusing with them being in different bodies. I tried to make it as clear as possible who was saying what.

Anyway, thanks for reading! What did you think?
