As she rolled over, Cass was still in that place between sleep and awake where the last thing you want to do is get up, but at the same time, you’re curious about what time it is. Eyes still closed, Cass reached out, towards her nightstand, groping around for her phone, which she usually left there. When she came up empty, she frowned and opened her eyes, blinking the sleep away. However, the frown only deepened as she opened her eyes, because she wasn’t where she was supposed to be. Instead of being in her room. Cass was in Violet’s room, in Violet’s bed. She didn’t recall going to sleep in her best friend’s room and sat up, trying to figure out what was going on. As she sat up, she also realized that not only was she in Violet’s room and bed, but she was also wearing Violet’s pajamas. What was going on here? Getting out of bed, Cass just happened to catch her reflection in a nearby mirror causing her eyes to widen. She was looking back at Violet’s reflection. How was that possible?

Violet was still sleeping, burrowing close into the covers of her bed. Yawning, she rolled over, stretching her legs a little before burrowing under her covers.

After staring at her reflection for a few minutes, Cass turned and bolted for the door. She had to find out with Violet was in her body or if this was just some kind of crazy dream. She didn’t recall eating anything odd before bed, but with two more or less teenage girls living together, there was definitely always a strange combination of food in the condo. Reaching her bedroom, she didn’t even knock before pushing the door open, “Vi! Violet, wake up! Please be Violet.” She approached the bed and pulled the covers back. Seeing herself lying there was so strange, but she tried to look past the strangeness as she began to shake her body awake.

Waking up with a start, Violet awoke to see ... herself shaking her awake. It made her shriek a little, but then she looked down at her body. It was more tan, more lean and heavily muscled than she was used to, and Violet started to breathe heavily. “Cass? Tell me I’m still dreaming.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” With Violet awake, Cass crawled onto the bed, kneeling down in front of her, “I just woke up in your bed, in your body.” She had no idea what was going on or how her and her best friend had swapped bodies; she was just glad that if she had to swap with anyone, it was Violet. Violet or Jubilee were the only people she’d ever want to do something like this with.

“Well. At least we’re both girls?” Violet chuckled nervously. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything out of the ordinary for while this is ... whatever it is.”

“Think we should check Valarnet and see if there’s an explanation for this?” Cass asked, reaching over for her phone which was on the nightstand as usual, “And good, cause I still haven’t done anything besides what I did with Logan. Plus, having sex with you in my body would probably be really weird for Ray.” It occurred to her that she should probably let Bod know what she wasn’t in her own body at the moment. She didn’t know how long this was going to last and she had been planning to ask him out for coffee or something again. Now that would have to wait, “We’re gonna have to think of a reason you can’t meet with my coach too.”

“Is there ever an explanation for this sort of thing?” Violet chuckled. “I’m not going to have sex with Ray, promise. And yeah, your coach would be unimpressed with my gymnastic ability. All I can do is a somersault and even then not that well.”

Cass shrugged as she put her password into her phone, “There might be. I mean, there are superhero types around here. Maybe one of them did this.” She had to believe that not everything that happened out here was by some strange, mystical force. Some things had to be explained. “He would probably think I was trying to pull one over on him. After we figure this out you can call him. Tell him I’ve got the flu or something. Can you get the flu in the summer?” She was glad that Violet understood that she didn’t want her having sex with Ray in her body, because some other people would probably have a field day if they were in someone else’s body, because when and if they switched back it wouldn’t be their problem anymore.

“They got bored and said, oh hey, swappings? And yeah, you can get flu whenever.” Violet smiled. “I’m good at coughing and stuff, I can call him when you’re done with your phone.”

Cass laughed as she logged into Valarnet. She didn’t have to look too far before she saw a post from Emma Frost, “Yeah, looks like this is apparently someone else’s screw up.” She passed the phone over to Violet so that she could read it.

Violet read the post and rolled her eyes. “Yay.” Handing the phone back, she pulled her strangely long legs to her chest, resting her chin upon them. “Just dial your coach and I’ll do the ‘oh no dying from the sniffles’ thing.”

It was strange, watching herself doing things, but was it really all that different than watching herself do things in her dreams? While some of her dreams were in the first person point of view, like real life, every now and then it was like she was watching a movie, “Is it weird? Seeing me as you?” She exited out of the internet and went to her favorite contacts then pressed send when she brought up her coach’s contact and handed it to Violet.

“Yeah. But no weirder than being a ghost was, I think.” Violet smiled and watched Cass move in her body. Taking the phone, she waited for the beep. “Hey, it’s Cass. I’ve got a fever and I’m coughing and everything hurts.” She coughed for great effect, hacking loudly. “I’m going to stay home until this wears off,” she coughed.

Ruse done, Vi handed the phone to Cass, smiling. “There.”

Cass watched as Violet left the message for her coach, putting her hand over her mouth to stifle a laugh as her friend coughed. When she finished and took the phone back, Cass laughed and shook her head, “That was great. If he calls back later I’ll either let it go to voicemail or let you talk to him,” Putting the phone back on the nightstand, she watched Violet for a moment or two, “We should make some breakfast and figure out if there is anything else we need to take care of while we’re like this.”

“God, can you imagine if we’d gotten swapped with boys or something?” Vi wrinkled her nose, and she shook her head as she pushed out of bed. “That would be way worse.”

“I’m sure you wouldn’t mind if you got swapped with Ray,” Cass smirked as she got off the bed as well and pulled down the t-shirt Violet had worn to bed that night. She couldn’t even imagine what it’d be like to get swapped with a boy; after all, the only penis she’d ever seen, aside from in porn, was Logan’s and the thought of suddenly having one like that was pretty intimidating.

“It would still be weird, but at least I know Ray wouldn’t be out trying to hit on girls.” Violet wrinkled her nose. “He’s so sweet and polite and ... I don’t know, a gentleman, but I don’t want to be in a guy.”

Cass couldn’t help the snort that came out at that, “Oh really? So then that rules out strap ons with you two?” She smirked, clearly teasing Violet as they headed towards the kitchen, “Is he into that kind of thing?”

“If we were both girls? I guess. I don’t know, I’m not really into girls anyway, but I’m sure he’d do it. You know, him being a boy that does like girls.” Boys who liked girls always dug lesbians.

“I was teasing, but I know what you mean. Did I ever tell you how Jubilee and Laura dared me to watch one of their sex tapes?” Okay, so it hadn’t been so much that they’d dared her, but Laura had gone and got her laptop and set it up regardless. “So, what do we want for breakfast?” While they did have a random combination of food in the house, they also had quite the selection of breakfast items. Of course that was mostly Cass’ doing cause she always made sure to eat breakfast.

Vi didn’t wrinkle her nose, but she wouldn’t have been keen with someone forcefeeding her porn. “Pancakes?”

If it had been anyone besides Jubilee and Laura, Cass would have felt uncomfortable about it, but for whatever reason she hadn’t been as uncomfortable as she probably should have been, “Pancakes sound good. You get the milk and eggs and I’ll get the mix and bowl.”
