Warnings: Nothing really, PG.
Status: Complete
Faye had arranged to meet Rose the day after the switch, to lay down some ground rules about each others bodies. It seemed like the best way since they didn’t really know each other and by the way Rose was dressed Faye had a feeling she was a very different sort of girl. Faye had remedied that already, and was no doubt going to receive some sort of comment about how she had made Rose look. But if she was going to be stuck in the other womans body for a while she wanted to feel as comfortable as possible.
So here she was waiting at the public park where they had passed each other the day before when the spell or whatever it was had hit. So she sat on a bench to wait for Rose to arrive with her body.
Rose hadn't necessarily toned down Faye's look on purpose, but there wasn't much in her closet that would have matched the other woman's style. When she spotted herself on the bench, she was alarmed to see herself looking less 'girl next door' and more 'girl next corner.' It was probably a good decision to do this while the Doctor was at work. As much as she had faith that he could fix just about anything, she didn't think a sonic screwdriver would do much in this situation.
"Hey," she said, approaching her body--how strange! "I'm Rose. Supposed to be, anyway."
Faye saw her body approaching and tried not to frown, it looked like she wasn’t the only one who had changed the others look. Faye wasn’t sure her breasts had been under that much material in a long time and when she got her body back they never would be again.
“Hi” she replied, “I’m Faye, this is a bit fucked up isn’t it?” she said as she stood.
Rose nodded. "You could say that. I guess this isn't the first time someone else has been in my body, but it's the first time I've seen it."
"So... this is weird," Rose said.
"Yeah?" Faye said, "Better at handling it than the rest of us then I bet" she said before nodding.
"So I guess we should sort out dos and don'ts for each other" she shrugged before sitting back down and gesturing for Rose to do the same.
"Maybe." Rose shrugged. It put things in perspective, anyway. At least Faye wasn't a skinflap.
"Ground rules, right," Rose said, sitting down. "No kissing my boyfriend."
“Wait, is that me no kissing your boyfriend or you in my body no kissing your boyfriend?” Faye checked with a small smirk, “Just to make sure we’re all clear”
Rose frowned. "I meant you, but.. probably both." She shook her head. "I hope this gets fixed soon."
"What are we going to do about jobs? What do you do?" Rose hoped she wouldn't regret asking that question.
“You and me both” Faye told her, “Okay so no kissing your boyfriend for either of us. I take it you don’t want me kissing anybody else either?” she teased a little.
“I manage a bar called Always, I can explain it all to my staff they’ll be fine” Faye replied, “What about you?”
"Probably, yeah," Rose said. "That would get really awkward." These requests sounded perfectly reasonable in her head, but once she said them outloud she suddenly worried she was asking too much.
"Oh yeah? I work at a bar called Hangman." That was kind of a neat coincidence. "Well, a club. I'm a waitress there."
"Okay" Faye nodded, "I'll tell my boys its hands off for a while" she winked.
"Huh, really? We have more in common than I thought. Show the girls off a bit and your tips will go up, I promise you" Faye advised.
Rose's brows shot up. It wasn't that she was that much of a prude. And she'd showed off some skin in a few of her acting gigs. She just couldn't see herself walking around like that normally. In a lot of ways, waitressing was kind of like an acting gig. "Um. Okay, I'll try it out. Thanks." It would be a little easier to try out in someone else's body.
“Not a problem. They’re used to being appreciated and you might as well have a little fun right?” Faye replied, it might make her feel a little better to know her body was being used to it’s potential rather than hidden away.
Rose smiled and nodded. She could approach this whole thing as a role. Hopefully it would have a limited run and no one would ask for an encore. She'd miss her body. "You know, I was sort of hoping if we met up again in the same place, everything would switch back to normal." That didn't appear to be happening. "Do you think we should try meeting at the same time on Sunday?" It sounded a bit like voodoo, but it couldn't hurt, could it?
Faye though about that, “Might as well right?” she said, “If there’s even the smallest hope that it would mean getting my body back then I am all for it” she smiled.
"Right." Rose nodded, smiling back. "I mean, you have a very nice body, but I'd like mine back. Oh." She reached into her purse and scribbled something down. "Here's my phone number, if you need it." She passed the slip of paper to Faye.
“Oh yeah. No offence to yours or anything but there’s nothin’ like being in your own skin right?” Faye replied, “That’s great” she said taking it, “I’ll drop you a message so you’ll have mine”
Rose smiled. "Okay, thanks. I'll see you on Sunday, then."
“See you then. Have fun” Faye told her with a wink.
