Chapter 2

“Tomorrow is the photo shoot,” mom reminded Johnny.

“I know.”

“So, we are going to swap you tonight.”

“What?”

“The photo shoot is tomorrow early. I think it would be best if you and Gracie spent the night in each other's bodies.” “Why? “

“It'll be quicker in the morning. I won't have to make sure everyone is up and then rush to swap. If there is a problem, we can take care of that tonight. It'll just be smoother.”

“But I thought the swap was only for one day.”

“It is one day. What do you care, you'll just be sleeping.”

Johnny's knee-jerk reaction was that he didn't want to spend any more time in Gracie's body than he had to. “I don't think I want to.”

“I also want to see how you look in the outfits. We'll do a dress rehearsal. It's a pain to try them on Gracie. She might get them dirty or rip them. That won't happen if you are in her body.”

What mom was saying, made sense to Johnny. He really didn't want to jeopardize his bike. He had been tracking its progress. It would be here very soon. He had also told all his friends that he was going to get it. They were all envious. He didn't tell them what he had to do to obtain the bike though. Everyone thought he had simply saved the money to get it. That's what he wanted them to think. He couldn't back out now.

“OK, I'll do it,” Johnny resigned himself.

“Do you want to swap before or after I give Gracie a bath?

“AFTER!”

“Fine.”

When it was time to get Gracie ready for bed, mom spoke to Johnny,” You go to sleep, I'll put Gracie to bed and swap you when you are both out. Then I'll wake you up to try on the outfits.”

“But it's only 7:00.”

“Don't worry, I'll wake you up.”

“It's not that, I'm not tired.”

“Wait, right here.” Mom returned a few moments later.

“Take this, it'll help you sleep.”

There wasn't anything that was going to get in the way of Johnny and his new bike. He took the pill and then returned to his room to lie down.

Meanwhile, mom took Gracie for her bath. Mom didn't tell Gracie what was about to happen. She just performed her usual bedtime ritual. The ritual concluded with Gracie in her Dora pajamas, tucked into bed, and a bedtime story.

Johnny felt someone nudge his shoulder gently.

“What time is it?” Johnny asked with the voice of his little sister.

“6.”

“6?”

“Yeah, I let you sleep through the night. It's morning.”

“I thought we were going to see how I looked in the outfits last night.”

“I thought it would be better to do it now. I didn't want you to be tired in the morning. How do you feel?”

“OK, I guess.”

“Are you wet?”

“No.”

“Do you have to go?”

“No.”

“You had better go to the potty anyway.”

“Potty?”

“You know what I mean.”

“I do.”

“I want you to use Gracie's potty. The toilet is too high for you now.”

“I think I can handle it.”

“Don't forget to wash your hands.”

“MOMMMMMMM”

Johnny got out of bed. The hop down to the floor seemed enormous. His swapped body wasn't three feet tall yet. His feet dangled over the side. Then he propelled his body forward to jump onto the floor. Johnny walked to the bathroom. Everything looked enormous to him. Even the handle on the door seemed high It was just a little lower than the top part of his head. Mom followed him to the bathroom.

“I can do this myself.”

“OK, OK. I'll wait. Call if you need me.”

“I won't need you!”

“Don't forget to wipe when you are done,” mom called out.

Johnny walked over to the toilet. He knew he didn't have a penis anymore. He would have to sit on the toilet (or potty) to use it. Now that he was walking around, he felt the need to pee. Mom was right, the potty would be easier to use than the toilet which looked huge to him. His butt wasn't big enough to cover the entire seat now. The potty was the better choice. Johnny pulled down his pajama bottoms and then his pull-ups The pull-up was a little bit wet. He hadn't noticed. “Gracie must have wet before we swapped bodies,” Johnny rationalized.

Johnny sat and relaxed his muscles. The sound of the pee hitting the plastic bowl was deafening to him, it didn't take long to finish. Johnny remembered what his mother told him and grabbed a small wad of toilet tissue. He wiped his privates from back to front. He didn't think about doing it the other way. He had never been instructed on how to do so. Johnny never wiped his privates after peeing before.

He put the tissue into the potty and pressed the flushing lever. The potty made a flushing sound but didn't flush like a normal toilet. It would be picked up and emptied into the toilet later.

Johnny turned to the sink to wash his hands. But he realized his mistake immediately. His body wasn't tall enough.

“MOM!” he called out.

“Yes, dear.”

“It's too tall.”

“I see.”

Mom got behind Johnny, lifted him by the armpits, and allowed him to turn on the faucet and wash his hands.

“Did you remember to wipe?”

“I did. I'm not really a little kid.”

“I'm sorry.”

Mom handed Johnny a towel. He dried his hands.

“Want to try on the outfits before or after breakfast?”

“After.”

Johnny sat at the breakfast table. It was strange being so short. He had to hop up onto the chair. When seated, his head was barely over the table. He picked up a spoon. It looked so big in his little hands. He scooped some cereal into the spoon and brought it to his mouth. At his new age, his teeth were small with some gaps between them. They did the job though.

Johnny hadn't seen the world from this vantage point in a decade. Ordinary things looked relatively enormous to him. Although the world seemed big, his body felt surprisingly normal. If he closed his eyes, he couldn't tell the difference between his real body and his sister's body. He could feel his fingers and could wiggle his nose. That felt the same. The chair under his butt felt the same, although he couldn't sit back in it. If he did, he couldn't reach the table. His legs dangled from the chair. Did his skin feel softer? It was hard to tell, maybe. All in all, he didn't feel that different when his eyes were closed.

“Done?” mom asked.

“Yeah.”

“OK, let's try some of these on.”

“Fine.”

“Want to potty again before we start?”

“NO! I just pottied.”

“OK.”

They walked to the family room. The outfits were laid out on the couch.

“Try this on first.” Mom handed Johnny a pale-yellow sweatshirt top with a plaid skirt. A pair of bows that matched the plaid skirt was attached to the front of the sweatshirt along the right side. The bows were situated three-quarters to the top of the shirt and halfway up. The sweatshirt was obviously a pullover. The skirt had an elastic waist without fasteners.

“Do you need help?”

“MOM! I'm not a baby.”

“I'm sorry,” she said again.

“Wear it with these shoes.”

Mom handed Johnny a pair of two-buckle toddler sandals in white. Like the sweatshirt, these shoes were also of a slip-on style.

Johnny turned to leave the room to get dressed.

“Johnny, you don't have to do that. It'll save time if you get dressed here.”

“But mom.”

Mom gave Johnny a look. Johnny knew he was being ridiculous. It was true, he hadn't dressed in front of his mom for some time, but he was in his little sister's body now. Dressing in front of her should be natural. It was undressing in front of himself that was the odd part now.

Johnny pulled down his pajama bottoms. He kicked them off to the floor. Then he pulled his pajama top off. He picked up his bottoms and handed them with the top to his mother. He saw his pull-up again.

He paused for a second, contemplating his pull-up. It was still a bit damp from the night before.

“Should I put on a new diaper?”

“Do you want to?”

Johnny didn't expect to be asked a question like that.

“I'll have to before we leave. I guess I should.”

“OK, get one from Gracie's room.”

“Sure.”

Johnny started to walk.

Mom folded her hands across her chest.

Johnny quickened his pace. He entered the room and found the package which originally held two dozen pull-ups. The size was 2T-3T. The pull-ups were mostly light purple with Mini Mouse on the front. The pull-ups could be opened from the side to adjust the size if needed. Johnny pulled the diaper up into place. He knew he had to adjust the size as he had seen his mother do it for Gracie before.

Wearing only the pull-up, Johnny returned to the family room. He pulled on the outfit and stuck his feet into the shoes. He was dressed in the first outfit.

“Here try this on,” mom told Johnny while handing him a bow for his hair.

“Where should I put it?”

“Around here,” mom said pointing to a spot on her own head.

Johnny opened the bow's clip, Slipped some hair into the clip. He had done this many times before on Gracie, but this was the first time he was doing it to 'himself' and then secured the clip. It wasn't hard.

“It's a little off.”

Without looking in a mirror, there wasn't any way for Johnny to see the bow was a bit crooked.

“Want me to help you?”

“I can do it.”

Mom handed Johnny a mirror. With the help of the mirror, he could clip the bow in the proper place and orientation. Johnny posed with one hand on his hip and the other in the air. “How do I look?”

“DARLING.”

Johnny's expression changed when he heard the word 'darling'. He shouldn't have been surprised that mom used that word.

Johnny tried on every outfit. Most fit perfectly. The outfits that fit were carefully folded and packed to be taken to the studio. The ones which were too big would be put away. Gracie would grow into them eventually. Those too small, (there were only a couple) would be returned for a refund...when mom got a chance.

Johnny got dressed in casual clothes for the trip to the studio. It was just a pair of jeans and a top that had a frog on it. Johnny had seen Gracie wear these clothes many times before.

The pair walked to the garage. Johnny instinctively opened the front car door.

“Get in the child safety seat in the back...It's the law.”

“OK, MOMMY!” Johnny told her emphasizing the word 'Mommy'. He got in, buckled himself in without assistance, and waited to be driven to the studio.
