You can do it!

"Come on, you can do it! Say that! Say it now!"

Oh, who am I kidding?

I'm back to bite my lip with an unintelligent expression.

Like all the other times I've tried to reveal who I really am to my girlfriend.

Well, now ex-girlfriend, since she hasn't considered me her boyfriend 

for a month.

Not that it's my fault: obviously she thinks I'm my cousin, Sally.

Sally and I grew up together, living on the same block.

You have always been a tomboy, and we always had a lot of fun as children.

But her parents are very traditional, and growing up they imposed on her a  

"good young lady" lifestyle.

She suffered a lot, but was always unable to rebel against her parents. 

About six months ago she started getting interested in the occult. 

I thought it was just a hobby to escape from her problems, since her father

had just prevented her from enrolling in college, wanting to impose her a

future as a housewife. 

But I was wrong... 

It was a way to put that future on someone else! 

And apparently the only person (not older than her) whose life she knew 

well enough to allow her to steal it was me! 

About a month ago I woke up in her body, I don't know as a result of 

which ritual.

And this damn magic prevents me from telling anyone who I really am.

Every time I try I get stuck, I bite my lips, sometimes I slobber a little...

Sally continues to apologize to me, assuring me that this is only a "short

vacation" from her life. 

Too bad that this vacation was to last two weeks, and was extended by

another two. 

And yesterday Sally told me that she is too comfortable with MY fiancée,

and that she wants to postpone the return of my body for another month.

She seems really sorry, but at the same time she doesn't seem to want to

give up this new life.

Not being able to ask anyone for help, I can do nothing but beg her crying,

and hope that in a month she will keep her word...

I don't want to become a housewife!

Red Hair (part 2)

"Are you serious!? Are you kidding me?! The princess of Eraldon!?"

Three days have passed since my unpleasant transformation. 

For the first time, I left my room. And I was forced to do it with women's clothes,

since they are the only ones left in my rooms... 

My parents said they were very happy to see me finally going around the castle

again, and they immediately told me the glad tidings for the kingdom.

Villagers and soldiers have been celebrating for days since the end of the war and

other neighboring states are renewing diplomatic relations with us!

In particular, the king of Eraldon proposed his daughter's hand in marriage, to

seal a new long alliance.

The princess of Eraldon is famous for her beauty, and I always thought that one

day I would marry her.

Now, instead, it will be my younger brother the lucky one, being the only

remaining male heir of my father.

He will receive the crown that would have fallen to me, he will marry the woman

of my dreams, he will live the life I wanted to live... 

Meanwhile, I will stay in the castle of our old enemies, worrying only about 

generating heirs for their House...

You said...

How can you do this to me? 

You said you were just curious about what it feels like

to be a man. 

You said you wanted to try a male body just for 24 hours. 

You said you came to me because I was your only male friend you trusted enough to 

reveal that you inherited a spell book. 

And now, after having disappeared for three days with my body, 

do you call me to tell me that you have fled abroad to start a new life? 

A life like the man you wanted to be all your life?! 

I trusted you! 

You were my best friend! 

I loved you! 

And you said you loved me too!

Red Hair

"And what's this...? Hair?"

For four years my father's kingdom has been at war with a neighboring kingdom, Rackmar. 

The war is going bad, our people risk a massacre.

Yesterday ambassadors of our enemy arrived, with whom my father spoke for hours, 

alone.

After the meeting, he came to me (his 18-year-old son), asking me "Son, would

you be ready for anything for the sake of your people?". Obviously I said "Sure, 

Father! What is it?", but he left without further explanation.

The next day, I woke up with a red tuft of hair in front of my face.

I became a girl!

During these first traumatic hours my parents explained what had happened to me. 

The ambassadors' peace proposal included the marriage between the king of Rackmar's son

and my father's daughter. 

The perfidious sovereign knew that my father had only two sons, aged 18 and 16, and sent

a potion to transform the major (me!) into a girl! The ambassadors handed over the potion 

to my father, demanding a reply within 24 hours.

My father chose the salvation of our people, even if it meant the sacrifice 

of my masculinity...

That witch!

It is not possible! 

That's Sarah, in my body, kissing my wife!

But... we woke up in each other's bodies just 3 days ago! 

It is not possible that she has already fallen in love with my wife in such a 

short time... She was a straight woman, for heaven's sake! 

Or so I thought... 

Now that I think about it, she seemed to me too little worried on the first day,

when we decided to live each other's lives while trying to figure out what had

happened... Oh no...

That witch wants to steal my wife, my heritage, my whole life!
