"Dual Realities: Haunting Lessons in Body Swapping"

Prompt: As his alarm clock woke his from his sleep, Eric Johnson got out of bed and sighed. Eric is a nice person. In fact, he's a wonderful person. Unfortunately, Eric is overweight and is teased and picked on every day at school. His life at home isn't much better, with his mom and dad constantly criticizing her weight. Ava Jones, the captain of the soccer team, particularly enjoys making fun of Eric. You see, Ava sits behind Eric in homeroom, and every morning as soon as Eric sits down, Ava starts in with the fat jokes. Ava was being especially mean this morning as she reached into Eric's bag and pulled out his gym shirt. "Hey everybody, get a load of this thing. What is it? A tent?!" She laughed as she held up the shorts. Eric tried to grab them, but Ava laughed and threw them to one of her cheerleader buddies. A tear rolled down Eric's face as he ran out of the room and into the men's bathroom. "What did I do to deserve this? I hate my life. I wish that jerk could understand what I have to go through each day," Eric said as he wiped the tears from his eyes. The next morning, Eric's alarm clock went off as usual but it sounded a little different today. Eric sat up and stretched and immediately noticed that something was wrong. What are all those soccer trophies doing on that shelf over there? And since when were his walls painted pink? Eric looked down at himself and almost screamed. He had two huge globes on his chest and was wearing a bra and panties. He got up and ran to the mirror and couldn't believe it when he saw Ava Jones' reflection looking back at him. Eric sat on the bed for a few minutes in shock until he noticed a note on the dresser addressed to him. It said: Dear Eric, or should I say Ava now, I heard your wish and I hate to see you so unhappy. I hope you enjoy your new life. Eric looked in the mirror and touched his beautiful face. “Please tell me I'm not dreaming," he said as a smile broke out across his new face. He then started feeling up his new perfect female form with its huge boobs, toned body and soft butt. Ava turned off her alarm clock and got out of bed. She immediately knew that something was very wrong. She looked down and saw a blue nightshirt covering a large stomach and there were no boobs to be found on her chest. Ava let out an enormous scream, which brought an unfamiliar woman rushing into the room. She walked over to Ava and with a look of concern and said, "Eric, honey, what's the matter? Are you okay?" Ava ran past the woman and looked in the mirror. She whispered to herself, "What the hell's going on here?" The woman looked confused and said, "Eric, you'd better start getting ready for school. You don't want to be late again." With that, she left the room and closed the door behind her. Ava sat down on the bed and began to cry. Eric stepped out of the shower and admired his brand new sexy body in the mirror. He giggled as he groped the pair of large breasts that were on his chest. After drying himself, he went back into his new room and opened the dresser drawer. After selecting a pair of black lace panties, and a black bra, he put on a black skirt and a white polo shirt, the school uniform for girls. On his way out of the room he noticed a bottle of perfume sitting on the dresser. "Why not?" He giggled to himself and he sprayed some Perfume on his body. On his way out the front door he saw Ava’s soccer jacket. Eric put it on and admired himself in the mirror. "I hope I never wake up from this dream," he said as he walked out the front door. Eric noticed a beautiful black sports car sitting in the driveway with a note on the windshield. It said: Ava, it looks like your days of taking the school bus are over. Ava finally got out of bed and realized that the only way she could get her body back would be to go to school and confront that fat bitch Eric Johnson. He wasn't going to steal her life and get away with it. Ava shuddered as she lifted the nightshirt over her head and let it drop to the floor. She was now standing in the middle of Eric Johnson's room wearing nothing but a pair of oversized black underwear. She didn't want to do it, but she pulled down the underwear and slid them down her legs. Ava almost began to cry again when she saw her brand new equipment. After taking a quick shower, Ava began to get dressed. She put on a pair of light blue underwear. After that, she went into the closet and found the black pants and white shirt that she would need to put on. After brushing her short brown hair, Ava found Eric's bag and went downstairs. That strange woman was in the kitchen along with a strange man. The man smiled when he saw Ava and said, "How's my big man doing this morning?" Ava did her best to play along and forced a smile, while saying, "I'm doing good... uh... dad." The man smiled and then went back to reading his paper. "So these are Eric's parents," Ava whispered to himself. Eric's mother put a plate of bacon and eggs down in front of Eric's father and then put a plate with a piece of toast and a few carrot sticks down in front of Ava. "No bacon and eggs?" Ava asked. "Why, honey, don't tell me that you want to break your new diet already. It'll be summer in a few months and maybe if you lose enough weight, you won't be so embarrassed to go out this summer." After Ava finished his breakfast, Eric's dad said, "Come on, son, I'll walk you to your bus stop on my way to work." Ava replied, "Th... the bus? But I haven't taken the bus to school in years." Eric pulled into the school parking lot and got out of his new car. Almost immediately, he was surrounded by four of the girls from the soccer team. They were all wearing the same jacket as her. "Hey Ava, you ready for the game tonight?" said one of the girls that Holly recognized as Taylor Covington. Eric couldn't believe that people were actually talking to him. And they were being nice! After joking around with the girls for a few minutes, Eric went to his new locker to get his books. While looking through the locker, somebody approached him from behind and tapped him on the shoulder. He whirled around and saw that it was Amber Potter, the captain of the hockey team. Amber gave him a big kiss on the lips and said, "Ava, I was thinking about something last night. I had such a good time, I didn’t know you were even into other girls. I'll see you after the game tonight." She kissed Eric on the lips once again and ran off to class. Eric was really starting to enjoy being Ava Jones. Immediately after stepping off the school bus, Ava was hit in the head by a piece of paper. She turned left and saw a group of her friends. She walked over to them and said, "You guys gotta help me. Something happened to me last night while I was sleeping." Taylor Covington, one of his best friends, laughed and said, "Get away from us, fatty." The four girls laughed and walked away as Ava stood there in shock. "When I get my body back, I'm going to destroy that fat bitch Eric Johnson's life. Nobody screws with me and gets away with it," Ava muttered to herself as she entered the school building. Ava went to her old locker and waited for a few minutes, but the homeroom bell had rung and she needed to get to class. Ava walked into homeroom and saw her old body sitting in the back of the room in her usual seat. She walked over and slammed her fist on the desk. In a loud whisper she said, "Give me back my body, you bitch." Her old body had a look of confusion on its face. It said, “Eric, are you feeling okay?" Ava's mouth nearly dropped to the floor. She couldn't do anything right now if Eric wasn't going to cooperate with her so she sat down in her new desk. The homeroom teacher started going through role call and when he got to Eric's name, Ava just sat in her seat and didn't say anything. The teacher looked up and said, "Uhhh... Mr. Johnson? Are you here or do you want to be marked down as absent? Now I'll say it again. Eric Johnson." Ava sunk down in her seat as she said, "Here." After homeroom was over, it was time for gym class, which Ava dreaded most of all. She took a deep breath as she entered the guys' locker room. It was different from the girls' locker room. The lockers were painted red instead of blue and it smelled worse. Ava walked over to a locker near the back of the room and put her gym bag down on the bench. She nervously unbuttoned her shirt and didn't take it off until she was sure nobody was looking in her direction. As soon as Ava removed her shirt and hung it in the locker, two of her former football team friends walked over to her. Ava was excited to see them. If anybody would believe them, it would be her, caring male friends. Before Ava could even open her mouth, one of them said, "How can such a small guy be so fat?" Ava put her head down as the two guys laughed. Nobody would believe her anyway. Gym class was a nightmare for Ava. Normally she was the best female athlete in school, but today was different. The guys' gym class was playing football and Ava was the most uncoordinated guy in the class. Luckily the gym teacher, Mr. Green, was also overweight and didn't seem to be pushing Ava as hard as the other guys. After class was over, Ava was walking back to the locker room when the football guys came back and grabbed Ava’s belly and said, "MOO!" Mr. Green saw what happened and patted Ava on the shoulder and gave her a sympathetic look. The rest of the day went just as bad, and worst of all, Ava didn't have another opportunity to confront Eric about stealing her body. It would have to wait for tonight after the soccer game. Eric was thrilled about playing in the big game. He couldn't believe how athletic his new body was. Eric loaded up his bag with his soccer gear, smiling when he saw the jersey with the big number 17 on it. Before leaving his room, he picked up the picture of Amber on the dresser and kissed it for good luck. Eric loved his new family. They were so encouraging. His new mom gave him a kiss on the cheek and told him not to get hurt, his new dad hugged him and wished him luck and his new little brother looked up to him with such admiration. Taylor and some of the other girls pulled up outside the house and honked. Eric's family waved goodbye and told him that they'd see him at the game. Ava had a hard time of convincing her mother to let her go to the soccer game. Her new mother said, "Honey, why would you want to go to some soccer game all by yourself? Those kids are so mean to you. Maybe if you stick to your diet you can lose that weight and make some friends? You know I'll do anything to help you." Ava's new mother told her that unless she had somebody to go to the game with, she couldn't go. Ava was furious and ran up to her room. How could she find somebody to go out with a big fat loser like Eric Johnson? Greg grabbed last year's yearbook off the shelf and quickly flipped through it. "There aren't any signatures in this thing? Doesn't he have any friends?" Ava said to herself. She was beginning to feel bad about the way she treated Eric. But Ava couldn't give up now. Luckily her room was on the first floor, which would make it easy to sneak out to the game. By the time her new mom found out, she would be back in her old body and Eric would have to deal with her. The football stadium was going crazy. Eric Johnson (in Ava Jones' body of course) had just scored her third goal of the night and the team was well on their way to a blowout victory. Ava sat in the stands all by herself as she watched her old body dominate the soccer game. She almost broke down crying right there, but she had to remain strong if she was going to face Eric after the game. When the game was over, Ava waited by her old car until she saw Eric and Amber walking in her direction. She tried to be as polite as possible when she said, “Umm...Ava, could I please talk to you in private for a minute?" Even though Ava had always been such a jerk, Eric did feel bad for her in her new situation. But this wasn't his fault. Was it? All he did was wish that she could understand what it's like to be picked on. While Amber waited in the car, Eric and Ava sat down on a nearby bench. Ava, with tears in her eyes, said, "Please, I don't know how you did this, but I've learned my lesson. You've got to give me my body back. I just want my life back. I can't take this anymore. Please." Eric felt horrible that Ava had gone from being the most popular girl in school to the biggest loser in school, but there was really nothing that he could do. Eric put his arm around Ava and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't know what I can do for you other than being your friend." Eric kissed Ava on the cheek and said, "It looks like your mom is here to pick you up." He then walked over to his car and got in. As they drove off, Ava could see Amber giggling and smiling at her old body. Her new mother pulled up next to her, got out of her car and ran over to her. "Oh, honey, you had me worried sick. I thought something happened to you." Ava put her head on her new mom's shoulder and cried. So this was it. Ava Jones was now Eric Johnson for the rest of her.... no, his life. This meant Eric Johnson was now Ava Jones for the rest of his now her life. And she couldn’t be happier. She loves being a super hot soccer player that had a great life and future ahead of her. She didn’t care what happened to her old body at all. All she cared about was her new perfect body, life, family and new girlfriend Amber. This was the life for her and whatever thing granted her this opportunity she wished she could thank.
