Body swapping tea (Patreon)

Ingrid smiled while she watched Makenzy look around with a confused expression. After the old witch tricked Makenzy into drinking some body swapping tea, the two ended up switching bodies. Ingrid could still feel the faint pressure at the back of her head, but she knew that would pass. After all, being placed in a brand-new body was always an uncomfortable experience. Thankfully, this wasn't Ingrid's first time. "It doesn't feel very good," Ingrid laughed. "I know the feeling. It also doesn't help that you're trapped in my 50-year-old body now, Makenzy."

As Ingrid took a few steps towards her old body, she noticed how it felt. Makenzy's body was strong and agile. Ingrid could feel her heart beating slowly, and she could sense the air coming in and out of her lungs. She couldn't help but touch her own stomach, where she could feel the muscles working hard to keep her upright. "You must work out a lot," Ingrid said as she stared at her old body. "I'm not even tired yet. Take a few steps in my old body, and you'll be out of breath in minutes. Being overweight with bone problems is the worst combination. You'll agree soon enough."

"I-Ingrid, I don't understand," Makenzy murmured while she struggled to get up. "How did this happen?" The poor girl looked across the room and immediately began piecing things together. "Wait, what did you put in that tea?"

Ingrid laughed. "Let's just say that I gave you the perfect concoction. Hey, don't give me that look. You were the one who PRETENDED to like it. Most normal people don’t do that. I guess you really wanted to be a nice neighbor for once.” Ingrid cackled. “Well, I may as well tell you. It was my own custom recipe that I've used for the past hundred years. And this won't be the last time I use it. You’ll never be able to figure out the recipe, though."

Makenzy's face dropped. "You've done this before? Is there a way to reverse it?"

Ingrid shook her head. "Sorry, dear, but there's no way to reverse it. Not unless I get tired of your sexy body. And I'll make sure that doesn't happen – there are so many things that I’ll be able to do with this perfect physique. Besides, I've watched you for years as a student here at the college, flaunting your attractive body and dating a new guy every week. You've been such a noisy neighbor. And now?" Ingrid spun around excitedly. "I get to be the one in your shoes. Gosh, this is going to be so much fun! But don't worry, I've left most of my money with you. I don't need all of it. After all, money doesn't solve all of your problems."

"Ingrid, please," Makenzy begged.

Ingrid shook her head and immediately packed her things into the young woman's purse. She made sure to bring her potion's book. "Hey, I didn't have to do any of that. I figured I owed you one. After all, how often does one get the chance to get a body like this?" Ingrid kissed the air. "I'll see you later, INGRID! I have to start moving my things. I can't have you bothering me at my new place - that'll get annoying real fast."

With that, Ingrid hurried out of the house, feeling lighter and more energized than she had in years. She couldn't believe that Makenzy had fallen for her trick. Nobody ever finished a full dose of her potion. People always spat it out, but the young woman had pretended to actually like it to seem nice. Unfortunately, her desire to please everyone had led to her losing everything. And of course, Makenzy would never be able to get help for her predicament – body swapping wasn’t a thing in the real world. Nobody would ever take her seriously, and even if people did believe her, Ingrid had a potion that would extract all of Makenzy’s memories hidden deep within her body’s brain. They would combine with Ingrid’s memories, ultimately helping her replace the young woman flawlessly.
