Aunt's perfect plan

-"Paul, look at me. Don't cry. You'll see that everything will work out. And I will always be there for you, you will never be alone."

 -"How will this all work out if we have no idea what happened? We woke up like this 2 days ago and have no idea what to do to get back to our bodies. I just want to be myself again!"

 -"Of course, I understand you. It was a shock for me too and I would like to go back to myself. I already have a romantic date planned next week! But I am confident that as long as we are together we will be able to withstand any challenge, and probably sooner or later everything will be resolved! "

 -"If you say so, aunt..." *sigh*

This beautiful woman you see crying next to me is actually... me. And even though I may seem like a 19-year-old boy now, until two days ago I was a 33-year-old woman. Not that I felt like one. I always felt that my body wasn't right for me, and for some time I was convinced that I should have been born a man. A month ago, during my trip to the Middle East, I accidentally (or by fate...) found in a small shop a potion capable of exchanging the bodies of two blood relatives, if drunk by both. I bought it, even though there were some problems. I didn't know if it would work, but there was no risk in trying after all. But to become a man I would have to steal the body of a male relative of mine. It certainly wouldn't have been good for my karma... And I didn't have many choices anyway. My father is 70 years old. No, thank you. My older brother is 40 years old. Acceptable, but he has a wife and 2 daughters... I wouldn't want to hurt an entire family. And finally there was my nephew, Paul, 19 years old, son of my older sister, 38 years old.

A young, tall, cute guy who was about to start his freshman year of college. Perfect for having a new beginning. We've also always had a great relationship, so I know him well and would have been able to take over his life without too many problems. A few days ago I finally made up my mind: I was going to become Paul, and he was going to become me, Maggie. So during a family dinner I put a few drops of potion in his food and that was it. We woke up in each other's bodies, I pretended not to know anything about it, and of course he believed me. A perfect plan.

Well, not quite "perfect", maybe... My nephew lost 14 years of his life... And his life, his gender... Well, if you think about it, he has always been a shy, kind and gentle boy. He would never have fully exploited his manhood as I will. Instead, I'm sure he'll be fine as a woman! He has the perfect personality for it! He spent the last two days crying, just like a woman... Yes, I'm sure it's better that way for him too. Under my guidance I will teach him to be "me", to be a perfect 33 year old woman. After all, we will have to "impersonate each other as best we can so as not to ruin each other's lives until we find a solution". "Solution" that we will never find, obviously. But if he follows my directions I will guide him towards a perfect life for him. I have already identified a man who will be able to take care of a sensitive and shy person like my nephew. I have arranged the first date for next week. If everything goes as it should, in a few months the new Maggie will be a beautiful bride. She will be a happy wife and will take care of her new family, while I will be able to start my life again as a man, as I deserve. Everyone will be happy, everyone will win. It really is a perfect plan!

Twins Switch (part 7)

Nine months after the body swap.

"Emily": "I shouldn't be so sad. Nothing strange happened after all. Dad and Dylan go on a fishing trip together every year these days. I'm just not Dylan this year anymore, so it's normal that I stayed home with my mother. Who is also very sweet, and who, seeing me sad, told me that tomorrow we will have a mother-daughter day. I am happy to be with her, and I like these "women's days" more and more, even if sometimes they still feel a little strange. But I miss the relationship with my father. I miss many things I could do as a boy, and I don't know if I will ever do them again. Dylan is a fantastic and very protective brother to me, particularly during my period, knowing how hard it is on his old body. Even though we are twins, I definitely feel like the little sister. By the way, I don't think I'll ever get used to my period. I've had 9 of them so far, and I've found them all terribly annoying and painful. I'll just have to accept them, I guess. Among the pros there is certainly Tom, who is a fantastic boyfriend. He makes me feel special, like I've never felt before. He's the one thing I would really miss if I ever go back to being Dylan one day. I'm sorry that I will probably never be with Tiffany, who is a very sweet and very beautiful girl, but at least now we are very good friends. Tom, Dylan, Tiffany and I have already done a couple of foursome outings, getting along very well together. Now Dylan no longer has to advise me on makeup or clothes. I'm a completely independent girl! Sigh. Even temperamentally I am now completely a girl. I feel too sensitive, but I appreciate the greater connection with my emotions, at least most of the time. Well, overall I'm not complaining, I'm healthy, I have an amazing family and people who love me. If one day I become a man again, I will be happy, but I will try to live my life to the best of my ability anyway. Now I'd better go. Tonight Tom takes me out to dinner, and a girl needs time to prepare for her man. Yep, things were definitely easier before. But I'll be fine, I'm sure of it."

The ethereal being who switched bodies and destinies of Dylan and Emily was still observing the twins from time to time. He was pleased with the new Emily's progress as a person, but he still hadn't forgiven her. When it had fulfilled her wish 9 months earlier, it wanted the young man to live in his sister's body for a couple of weeks to better understand girls and improve his life. But the boy immediately used his opportunity to spy on girls and prove himself to be immature and insensitive. To punish him, the entity decided to extend the exchange indefinitely. By becoming a woman at heart, she would no longer be able to spy on girls in a disturbing way, nor take advantage of the secrets learned from poor girls to manipulate them into a relationship. And she would remain a girl, at least as long as the anger of the entity remained. And the ethereal entity in question was very, very slow to forgive, especially by human standards. But maybe one day it will forgive the new Emily, especially if she continues on the right path, and offer her the opportunity to change her destiny again. But until then it will continue to watch in silence as the new Dylan and Emily shape their new lives and precious relationships.

[The End]

Twins Switch (part 6)

Six months after the body swap.

 -"Eww."

 -""Eww" what?"

 -"You said you're going to the park to play football with your friends, but it's raining. It'll be all muddy, and you'll get all dirty. Eww."

 -"This will be even more fun. And if I remember correctly, you liked it too."

 -"You're right, but now it makes me sick just to think about it. I already don't like sweating to do sports, but I find doing it in the mud disgusting."

 -"You've really become a real lady, huh?"

 -"..." *sad*

 -"Hey, just kidding."

 -"No, you're right. I know I've changed a lot, but I can't do anything about it. Every day that passes I become more of a girl inside. Do you know how I'll spend the afternoon while you play football in the mud? Sarah invited me to get a manicure with her. That's right, I'll get my nails done with a girl I originally wanted to spy on in her underwear. I wanted to find out her secrets so I could conquer her once I became male again, and I ended up being her "best friend forever". I'm pathetic."

 -"You are not pathetic, and it's nice that you have a close female friend to spend time with. You are more mature than before, and you no longer have ulterior motives. You are a better person than before, and if we return to our bodies you will be a better man."

 -"Thank you, sister." *wipes away a tear*

 -"But tell me... When you're with Sarah, or when you see Tiffany, who was your biggest crush, do you feel anything anymore? I no longer feel anything looking at handsome boys. Absolute zero. While I really like beautiful girls... although obviously I am absolutely loyal to Tiffany, and would never betray her."

 -"I... I feel something looking at beautiful girls, but not what I would like..."

 -"What do you mean?"

 -"As much as I would like it, I no longer feel any attraction. I am now a heterosexual girl, and I only like men, to my embarrassment. But looking at beautiful girls... I feel envious. I look at Sarah and don't desire her, but I wish I were taller and long-legged like her. I look at Tiffany and think she's lucky to have bigger breasts than me. And I wouldn't even want to have breasts! It doesn't make sense! Better hair, more attractive curves, smoother skin, every time I look at a beautiful girl on the street I think of these things. I compare them to myself and I feel envious and insecure!" *sobs*

 -"Don't worry, it's normal. Many girls feel this way. I also felt very insecure about my body before all this. And you often made fun of me, not helping me..."

 -"I'm sorry, now I understand how it feels. If I go back to being your brother I'll be better, I promise."

 -"I'm sure of it. However, I would like to talk to you about something else."

 -"About what?"

 -"We have been in these bodies for 6 months now, we have tried many things but without being able to return to ourselves. I don't know if we will ever go back, honestly. I hope so, more for you than for me, but I don't know if it will be possible. I believe the time has come to get used to this idea."

 -"And what do you propose? I already live like a girl and you like a boy."

 -"I think symbolically we should start addressing each other with our new names and roles. I think it would help you accept things faster, as long as they stay that way. So I'd like you to call me Dylan, and I'll call you Emily. I'll be your brother and you my sister. We will use the right male and female pronouns for our bodies even among ourselves. Do you agree?"

 -"I... it seems strange to hear you call me by that name. You were the only one who still called me Dylan, and I liked it. But if you really believe it will help me accept things better, I trust you.. . Brother. *starts crying*

 -"Everything will be fine, little sister." *hugs his "sister"*

Twins Switch (part 5)

Three months after the body swap.

 -"Emily, don't you think it's a little too "pink"?"

 -"Well, that sweater is very pink, yes. But it looks good on you. Where did you get it, by the way? I don't think I had it in my closet."

 -"Since we still haven't returned to our bodies, I thought I had to try harder, and I asked mum for help. Obviously I didn't tell her the truth, but only that I decided to be more feminine and that I needed help to go shopping. She was very happy about it."

 -"Wow, a real mother-daughter outing! I'm proud of you! And I have to say that even though I'm doing well as a boy, I miss that kind of relationship with mom. I'm sure you've made her very happy."

 -"Too much, too. She insisted on getting me numerous ultra-feminine dresses. And then she was so enthusiastic that she wanted to take me to a spa at all costs. We spent the afternoon with massages and mud treatments."

 -"Didn't you like it one bit?"

 -"The serious thing is that I liked it. Three months ago it would have made me sick, and now I liked it. I keep changing and it scares me. Oh, and then they also waxed us, and that was just bad. Totally."

 -"Ahahah Yes, that's an aspect of femininity that I certainly don't miss. But still, it's good that you feel like you're changing. Probably soon you'll fully understand the female perspective and we can get our bodies back."

 -"I hope it happens soon. I feel so strange. And last month I was hoping for the same thing when I let you convince me to dye my hair in this very feminine way, and yet it was useless." *pout*

 -"Don't start complaining about your hair again, I already told you it's adorable! And everything still seems strange to me too. But I have to be honest, I would miss this life if I woke up in my body tomorrow. I always liked being a girl, but after this experience I realize how much more "complicated" it was. Of course I understand that it would be right to go back to normal, and I hope you can return to being a boy as you wish, but... Well, in any case I wouldn't be sad. I've been a girl all my life and I've enjoyed it, I'll just have to get used to it again."

 -"I understand what you mean by saying that being a girl is more "complicated". I will no longer take the simple life of a boy for granted, if I can have it again. No make-up in the morning, simpler and more comfortable clothes, quick showers, no waxing, being able eat as much as you want, NO PERIODS!"

 -"Well, don't just think about the negative sides. There are also things you like and have discovered, right?"

 -"Yes, I guess so..."

 -"And speaking of things you like... How's things going between you and Tom? You've been hanging out a lot lately."

 -"Everything's fine. He's a really good guy, and he's very gallant and protective enough. I feel good with him and I have fun. And I have to say... I find him cuter with each passing day."

 -Wow, what an admission, little brother. And what do you feel on the female front? Do you still like girls too?”

 -"I'm not sure. Sometimes in the changing rooms or at some friend's house I still have the instinct to look at girls, but... I "perceive" little as an internal response. When I look at Tom or other handsome boys I feel much more attracted ... I'm very ashamed of it, but maybe you are the only person who can understand me..." *blushes*

 -"Aww, come here, little brother. Of course I understand you. It's the same for me, but in reverse." *hugs Dylan*

 -"But you're dealing with it much better than me. I should be the stronger and more confident one of the two. I'm your brother."

 -"Well, lately I feel more and more confident. Clearly our new bodies are changing us, even temperamentally. Even just the different hormones for all these months can change a person a lot. You're not exactly the "brother" between us twins anymore. And also I'm very happy with Tiffany, so it doesn't worry me this "orientation change" going on. She really is a gorgeous girl. You had great taste."

 -"Yeah, happy to have shown you the perfect girl for you. *rolls eyes*

 -"Oh come on, you're happy with Tom too. If you relaxed, as you advised me months ago, you would be able to enjoy a wonderful relationship."

 -"I'll try. Although I still hope to go back to being a simple male friend of Tom's soon."

Twins Switch (part 4)

Forty days after the body swap.

 -Voiceover: "So, Emily, I was thinking...Would you like to go to the movies with me this Friday?"

 -"I... with pleasure, Tom." *smiling*

 -"Great! I'll pick you up on Friday at seven!"

 -"Eheheh See you Friday!" *embarrassed*

Dylan's thoughts: "How did I get into this situation? And why am I smiling? Why am I happy that he invited me? This is just a horrible "task" to get back into my body! After a whole month has passed since our body swap, my sister and I talked about what we could do. We thought that maybe, like in the movies, we should learn some particular lesson from being in each other's bodies, and that maybe we should act more like each other. We decided that Emily would work on becoming more masculine and me on acting more like a girl, and having the experiences that go with it. Emily and Tiffany seem very close. The date was a success, and there have been others. Every time I've seen them together it seems like Tiffany is very much in love. Excellent, I hope to be able to benefit from it soon... Emily has also started going to the gym. Soon my body will be in great shape! Emily insisted that I spend time with some guy and try to get him to ask me out on a date. She is sure that it is a fundamental experience for understanding the female world. I reluctantly chose Tom, a friend of mine who I know is a nice guy. Definitely nicer than me. I chatted with him a few times at school in the last few days, and now he has finally decided to invite me out. All according to plan. Yet I feel something is wrong. Why am I so happy to go to the cinema with him? When we went to the movies as friends, when I was a boy, I never felt this way. And why do I keep thinking he's very nice looking? In the last few days I don't even think that about my female classmates anymore... Uh-oh. Something is wrong with me!"

Twins Switch (part 3)

Twenty days after the body swap.

 -"So, sister, do you have something to tell me?"

 -"What do you mean, Dylan."

 -"I heard some things through the grapevine. I heard you asked Tiffany out on a date this Saturday."

 -"Even if it were? It doesn't concern you."

 -"It doesn't concern me?! You asked out the girl I like! Without asking my permission! What if she said no?! You would have humiliated me!"

 -"But she didn't say no. She said yes. And you should be grateful to me. If things go well, when we return to our bodies you will have the girl of your dreams."

 -"Well, it's true..."

 -"And in any case why would I ask your permission? You haven't asked me permission to violate the privacy of my best friends several times these days."

 -"Ok, sorry, I fell into temptation a few times..."

 -"And wasn't it you who told me that I had to relax and have new experiences? For a couple of days you have been particularly tense, agitated and irritable- Oh. Ah. I wasn't thinking about it. I haven't looked at the calendar much lately. I imagine for ME these are THOSE days."

 -"Shut up." *blushes*

 -"You don't have to be ashamed, LITTLE SISTER. It's perfectly normal for every girl."

 -"I said SHUT UP!"

 -"Ok, ok, sorry. It's funny but I'll try not to make fun of you. Why didn't you tell me right away? I could have helped you."

 -"I was ashamed and afraid that you would make fun of me. And rightly so, I would say. I found the products to use in the bathroom, and I searched on the internet how to use them and what to do."

 -"And how do you feel?"

 -"Honestly? Horribly. I didn't think periods were so painful."

 -"Yes, unfortunately I have always had them particularly acute. But at least it will be a unique experience on the female world that will teach you something for when you become a boy again. I am sure that you will be much more sensitive to these experiences for your girlfriends and your wife ."

 -"Definitely. And I hope this will all end soon, and I'll wake up in my body within a few days."

 -"Won't you miss the chance to enter the women's changing rooms? In the first few days you joked about it a lot."

 -"Well, yes, but... To tell the truth, in the last few days I find it less interesting than before. Looking at a girl in underwear is always nice, but less than before. I guess I'm used to it by now."

 -"Really? The same is happening to me. I still like boys, but less than before. I guess spending 3 weeks in a boy's body takes some of the "mystery" away from the opposite sex."

 -"Wow. And does this have to do with the fact that you asked out Tiffany? I thought you did it just to annoy me and get revenge on your friends."

 -"Well, to tell the truth, I wanted to experiment with dating a girl while I'm in a boy's body. And I noticed that I was also a little... interested in her. I still like boys, as I have said, but I think I'm starting to be a little attracted to girls too. It's something I've never felt before. I was curious and decided to "experiment" as you recommended."

 -"Wow, that's a lot to process. At least try not to ruin my chances with Tiffany. Behave!"

 -"Don't be afraid little brother. I know female psychology quite well." ;)

Twins Switch (part 2)

Four days after the body swap.

 -"Tonight is going to be a great night" *grin*

 -"What do you mean?"

 -Have you forgotten? Tonight I am invited to Sarah's pajama party! It will be really fun eheheh!"

 -"What?! I remember ordering you to warn Sarah that I couldn't go!"

 -"And in fact YOU won't go. I will go. And I will spend an evening and night locked in a room with 5 beautiful girls, discovering their secrets and what they like!"

 -"You... pervert! How dare you! Do you want to violate the privacy of my best friends?! It's a girls' night!"

 -"And I AM a girl. At least for the moment. Eheheh"

 -"You're disgusting."

 -"Oh, come on little sister! It's a unique opportunity! Probably in a few days we will be happily back in our bodies. I want to take advantage of this unpleasant experience to get at least a good memory or two."

 -"And to do this you have to take advantage of the good faith of 5 innocent girls, who will be spied on by a boy and who will reveal secrets to who they believe is their friend, but he isn't?"

 -"Well... I guess so. It's a unique opportunity, sorry. *grin*

 -"As soon as we return to our bodies I will make you pay."

 -"You're always so hysterical, little sister... Relax and have some new and unique experiences while you can. And let me have some fun!"

 -"I'd have mom and dad ground you... but we can't tell them the truth. They would think we are crazy, or they would worry themselves sick. But I'm sure that Karma will punish you!"

-"Oh, sure, little sister. You're really annoying."

The ethereal being watched them. And in judging Dylan it felt angry.

Twins Switch (part 1)

 -"Wait, Emily? Is that you? Is that you in my body?"

 -"Dylan? What's happening?!"

 -"I have no idea, I just woke up in your room... and in your body!"

 -"I just woke up too, hearing a female scream. It was you, right?"

 -"Of course it was me! I looked in the mirror and saw the image of my twin sister!"

 -"Do you have any idea what could have caused this tragedy? Or how we can get back to our bodies?"

 -No, I don't know- wait, maybe... Last night before going to sleep I was thinking about my difficulties in getting close to Tiffany and getting her to notice me. I looked at the sky outside the window and wished I could understand girls better. Do you think it could have something to do with it? I certainly didn't want to find myself in my sister's body so I could understand girls!"

 -"I have no idea... maybe. We don't have any options that make more sense than this. It's like those body-swap comedies."

 -"And in those comedies after a few days everything goes back to how it was before!"

 -"Yes, we can only hope that this is the case. In the meantime, let's try not to ruin our lives."

 -"How could I ruin your life? I'm not that bad."

 -"For example acting like YOU while you are ME. I'm not ultra feminine, but I act 100% like a girl. I don't want people to suddenly see me acting like a boy. You have to be careful how you talk, how you move , how you walk. Don't embarrass me and don't do anything that makes me feel ashamed!"

 -"Same goes for you, little sister. I don't want people to suddenly see me acting like a sissy. Act like I usually do."

 -"Eww."

 -"What?"

 -"Being in your body and acting like you. It makes me sick just thinking about it."

 -"The same goes for me, trust me. Let's hope that in a few days it will all be just a bad memory."

Invisible to the eyes of the two 18-year-old twins, the ethereal being who had listened to Dylan's wish and caused the body swap was watching them. Judging them.

The Tulip Lady

Here I am, holding the thousandth tulip in my hand. Or the ten thousandth. Or the one hundred thousandth. I don't count them anymore. Everyone calls me the Tulip Lady, but until a few years ago I would never have imagined in my worst nightmare that I would have this nickname. In fact the 25 year old girl you see was a 20 year old boy 5 years ago. I was the heir to my family and our marquisate. While now here I am receiving a tulip from my future husband, imposed by my family.

It all started one evening 5 years ago. I had just returned from a hunting trip, and I found a beautiful tulip on the doorknob of my room. I thought it was a gift from some charming maid in the house who had fallen in love with me. "Poor deluded girl", I thought, "but it's a sweet gesture, and if she's nice I could make her happy for a night...". But while I was thinking about which maid could be my "secret admirer", I smelled the beautiful tulip and immediately felt a burning sensation and strong tingling sensations throughout my body. The tulip instantly turned to ash, terrifying me further. “Did I just get poisoned?” I thought, and ran in confusion towards my parents' nearby room. As soon as I entered I found my father and mother there, but I didn't have time to say anything. Immediately the burning and tingling became more intense, and my body changed under the terrified, shocked and worried eyes of my parents. In just 10 seconds I became a girl. I was apparently the same age as before, but every fiber of my body had become feminine. As soon as I recovered from the shock, I explained what had happened to my parents. My father went to investigate among the servants if anyone knew anything about a tulip on my door, while I remained with my mother crying. I don't even remember the last time I cried before that day. It happens to me often in recent years. My father returned after an hour and told us that no one knew anything. For the moment I would have to pretend to be a normal girl so as not to attract dangerous attention and accusations of witchcraft. My father called my older sister (22) and my younger brother (18) into the room and told them what had happened, while I was unable to look them in the eyes out of shame. I could sense their shocked expressions. We decided together that for the moment we would tell that "I" had suddenly left to study in France, while a "cousin of mine" from Ireland had come to live with my parents. It was very humiliating to have to publicly pass myself off as a girl, but we had no choice. My family and I investigated for months, without attracting attention, to understand what had happened and how to transform me again, but without success.

For two weeks my mother and sister taught me everything they could about being a girl and a female member of a noble family. It was terrible, but necessary. I was paranoid for months, thinking about who could be the culprit of my curse, who could have placed that enchanted tulip on my door. Another young noble from the area envious of my successes? A furious maid for some unappreciated comment of mine? My sister, to not be the only daughter and have a sister to "have fun" doing girly things with? My brother, to become our father's heir and become Marquis one day? I don't know, and maybe I will never know. And over time I accepted it. After a couple of years I stopped asking myself these questions. Everyone always treated me well and family members who knew my identity showed tact and empathy. But obviously they increasingly treated me like a girl, a daughter, a sister. And almost every activity I loved was no longer possible, from hunting to courting the beautiful girls in town. Over time I accepted this too, despite suffering a lot in the first few months.

Since the day of my transformation I have become obsessed with tulips, hoping to find another one that can transform me again. Walking down the street I always stopped to smell the tulips in every vase and at every florist. At every ball and public event I went first to smell the decorative tulips. In a few months the rumor spread that the beautiful and charming niece of the Marquis adored tulips, and numerous suitors began to continually give them to me. And I continued to smell them one by one, always, hopefully. After a year everyone in town started calling me the Tulip Lady.

After 4 years my father explained to me that he was patient, understanding the tough situation I was in, but that it was time to find me a husband. We argued for a long time, I was desperate, but in the end I gave up. In fact I was now a 24 year old woman from an important family, it was really strange not to be married. So I started meeting possible matches from noble families in the area. And after a few months I met a better man than the others, a 26-year-old nephew of a count, funny, kind and willing to provide me with much more freedom than the classic wives of the 17th century. He immediately fell in love with me, while I... I still can't fall in love with a man, still feeling like a man inside myself, but I started to care for him. He's a good man, and I'm willing to spend my life with him if I don't find a solution to my "condition". When he asked for my hand in marriage, I said yes. I cried, feeling another part of the old me fade away, but to him they seemed like tears of joy.

In a week I will be married, I will be a wife, and probably within a short time a mother. My destiny as a young Marquis will be just a distant memory. And I won't be able to do anything but smell every tulip I see, as long as I have the strength to try. Reinforcing my reputation as the "Tulip Lady". Ironic. A tulip stole the life I loved. Everyone calls me Tulip Lady, I'm always looking for tulips, but I really, really hate tulips with all my heart. Really ironic.
