**Swapped Realities**

Title: **Swapped Realities**

**Fade In**

**INT. SMITH FAMILY KITCHEN - MORNING**

*Sunlight streams through the windows as a typical suburban morning unfolds. JASON SMITH (16) sits at the kitchen table, scrolling through his phone, dressed in a school hoodie. Across from him, his mom, EMMA SMITH (40s), is savoring a cup of coffee, wearing a floral apron.*

**JASON**
(Muttering)
Ugh, another day of high school hell.

**EMMA**
(Half-smiling)
Enjoy it while it lasts, Jason. One day, you'll be begging for these days back.

**As she says this, Jason rolls his eyes. Suddenly, the room shimmers with a golden light. Both scream as a vortex of energy envelops them. In seconds, the light dissipates, leaving the room unchanged – but with one major difference.*

*Now, in Jason's seat is EMMA IN JASON’S BODY, and standing by the sink is JASON IN EMMA’S BODY. The confusion is palpable.*

**EMMA IN JASON’S BODY**
(Freaking out)
What the hell just happened?! Why am I... why do I sound like... Jason?!

**JASON IN EMMA’S BODY**
(Looking at herself, touching her face)
MOM? We... We swapped bodies! Oh my god, this can't be happening!

**Suddenly, the door swings open, and STEVE SMITH (40s), the dad, enters, a goofy smile on his face. He heads toward the coffee pot.**

**STEVE**
(To Jason in Emma’s body)
Morning, Emma. Ready for another fun day of being Jason?

**Both Jason and Emma look at each other, trying to understand what's going on.**

**JASON IN EMMA'S BODY**
(Confused)
Dad! I’m Jason. I’m your son!

**STEVE**
(Laughing)
Good one, honey. You’ve got your mother's sense of humor today! Any plans for today, Emma? I mean, besides driving Jason's body to school?

**EMMA IN JASON’S BODY**
(Whispering nervously)
Jason, what do we do? It’s like he believes we've always been like this!

**JASON IN EMMA'S BODY**
(Quietly panicking)
I don't know, Mom. But we better act normal until we figure this out!

**EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - MORNING**

*JASON IN EMMA’S BODY pulls up in the family’s minivan. A group of JASON’S FRIENDS loiter by the front entrance, trading jokes and high-fives.*

**JASON’S FRIEND 1**
(Grinning, loud enough for Jason to hear)
Hey, Jason! Looking good in that body today!

**JASON’S FRIEND 2**
(Teasing)
Careful not to, uh, get distracted by your own reflections in the gym class, buddy!

**Jason in Emma's body gives them an awkward smile and heads in, feeling the weight of Emma's presence in every step.*

**INT. HIGH SCHOOL - FIRST PERIOD CLASS**

*Jason, still in his mother's body, sits among teenagers, sticking out like a sore thumb. The teacher, MR. HARRIS (30s), a strict but fair man, begins roll call.*

**MR. HARRIS**
(Taking attendance)
Jason Smith?

**JASON IN EMMA’S BODY**
(Awkwardly raising his hand)
Here.

**MR. HARRIS**
(With a small chuckle)
Ah, good morning, Emma! How's the life of being Jason treating you today?

**JASON IN EMMA'S BODY**
(Forcing a grin)
It's definitely... interesting.

*Throughout the class, students glance at Jason, whispering and giggling. Jason's embarrassment is evident, being in a body that isn't his own, yet treated as if it always has been.**

**INT. SMITH HOUSE - EVENING**

*Back home, Emma in Jason’s body is trying to navigate teenage life – playing video games, texting friends. JASON’S SISTER, KATIE (12), walks in, holding a family picture.*

**KATIE**
(Confused, pointing at the picture)
Hey, Jason. How come you and Mom swapped bodies in this picture too?

**EMMA IN JASON’S BODY**
(Desperately)
Katie, I... I don’t know!

**JASON IN EMMA’S BODY**
(Taking the picture)
Maybe we just have to live with this until we find a way to swap back. We just need to keep searching for answers.

**KATIE**
(Tilting her head)
You two are acting really weird, even for you.

**JASON AND EMMA**
(Together)
You have no idea.

**FADE OUT.**
