"How the hell could you have sex with my best friend while in my body Danny?" Taylor yelled at me through the phone.
"I'm sorry. I had a little too much to drink and Selena can be very persuasive," I tried to explain to a raging Taylor Swift.
"That is true, but didn't you think about how wrong it was to fuck someone while in someone else's body?" Taylor asked.
"I'm not going to lie, it came up but the Selena did this thing with her tongue," Dan said before Taylor interrupted.
"EW!! I don't want to hear the details of your escapades in my body. The less I know the better. Taylor replied.
"What do you want me to do then? I can't take it back," I explained to Taylor.
"You're right Dan. I'm just upset. And I kind of did the same in your body," Taylor said.
"Wait, what did you do in my body?" I eagerly asked Taylor.
"Not much. I just jerked off a lot," Taylor replied nonchalantly.
"Then why are you getting mad at me, we both had a little fun. Nothing's wrong with that. We were curious human being who took advantage of a rare opportunity," I explained to Taylor.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry about yelling at you. Let's just move on. I've got to go but I hope to hear from you soon. It was fun while it lasted. See you soon," Taylor said as she hung up the phone before I could respond.
I hung up the photo and sat in my bed, thinking about how I could have swapped bodies with someone. Then it hit me, I should go talk to my grandmother. She always believed in magic and spirit mojo and stuff. Maybe she could help me figure out what happened. My grandmother liked to live off the radar, so I'd have to drive to her house, which was a couple of hours away. I called in sick for work and looked at my laptop to see if anything important came to my mail.
I was pretty surprised when I opened my laptop to see a bunch of gay porn that Taylor must have been watching last night, as I close all of the tabs I realized that Taylor's naughtier then I originally thought. I went through my e-mail and didn't see anything important. After putting on a Green Bay Packers tee-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, I grabbed my phone and my keys and headed for my grandma's place.
I got into my car and headed to her house. I get car sick if there isn't any music playing in the car. I turned on the radio and my face goes completely blank in thought as I hear what's playing. It was just my luck, but "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift was playing.
"You think you're pretty funny? Huh universe?" I think to myself as I recognized the irony in my current situation.
I continue to drive to my grandma's house and I arrive there in about 2 hours, where I see grandma sitting there on her favorite rocking chair on the patio. I walk up to her and she immediately greets me with a warm welcome.
"Dan. My favorite and only grandson, come her and give grandma a hug," She says to me as we hug. "What's bring you all the way here?"
"Well grandma, something weird happened to me and I think it might be of the mystic variety," I told her.
"Well what is it? I bet it wasn't anything too out of the ordinary," she said to me as she tried to reassure me.
"Well it all started yesterday when I woke up in someone else's body," I told her. Grandma sat there in complete silence before she responded.
"Was it the body of a woman and did you change back this morning?" She asked me as I was dumbfounded by how she knew.
"How do you know that?" I asked her.
"Oh my, you have it. You have the gift," she replied.
I followed up and asked, "Gift? What gift?"
"Come in the house with me. I'll show you," She said as we both went into the house.
The house was very small and packed in, but grandma and grandpa had lived there for 60 years before he passed away. She just had a chair and TV in the living room. She told me to wait in the living room while she went upstairs to get something. I could hear her ruffling through the various things she had stashed up in her room before she brought down a really big book.
The book was all black except for the title, "The Carpenter Gift".
"Come over here Dan, it's time you learned about the Gift," Grandma said as I went over there to follow along in the book.
"We don't know where or when it started, but the men in the Carpenter family had acquired a certain gift, this gift would cause the Carpenter men to swap into the body of another for a single day, then they would swap back into their own body when they rested. I thought we wouldn't have to explain this to you since we thought the gift died when your father never developed it, I guess it decided to skip a generation," Grandma explained.
"So this crazy body swapping experience is an inherited family trait and it's going to keep happening?" I asked.
"Yes, but it only appears in the males for some reason. It was also keep happening. " She responded.
"Does it say how to stop it from happening or if I can control it somehow?" I asked.
"The book states that it happens randomly and only when you are asleep. The book also says you can suggest where or who you go to, but it doesn't go into detail about it much," Grandma further explained. "Here. Take the book with you. It's going to do a lot more for you than it's going to do me."
I thanked my grandma and took the book from her. I took the book and placed it into my bag. My grandma told me that she was expecting company and I told that I had to leave anyway, so I got into my car and drove home. I turned on the radio again and "Blank Space" played out my speakers. I jokingly looked around to see if the universe was stalking me.
After the two hour drive. I got home around 8 o'clock at night. I spent the next two hours reading through the book to see if there was some way to stop the gift from swapping me into someone else's body. It didn't give me a clear answer, so I went to bed and thought "Don't swap" over and over again until I fell asleep.
The next morning had me in a haze. I had awoken from a pretty deep sleep. I opened my eyes fully and I was immediately worried. I didn't recognize where I was. I sat up on the bed and felt something that I was growing too accustomed to having on my chest. I look down and see a pair of 32B sized breasts sitting there in a plain white bra. I pulled the blanket off of my new body and see that I am definitely in the body of a female. I test out my voice and I bring my hands to my mouth as I instantly recognize the voice.
I need to see if I am who I really think I am, so I got out of the bed and I walk over to the full length. My senses were right, I was in the body of actress Emma Stone.
"Damn. It happened again," I say in Emma's voice as my hands feel my new face. It felt weird being in Emma's body, I mean it would be weird to be in anyone else's body, but Emma's body felt totally different. While Taylor's body felt tall and had a more petite frame, Emma's body was curvy.
