Swap back with the barbie

    by: clockworkMelody Author IconMail Icon
As fun as it was essentially being a living toy, you couldn't help but feel it was a bit inconvenient. You were much smaller, and your stiff, plastic body made getting around a bit difficult. In addition, being used as your sister's toy gave you little time to yourself, which meant you would need to be very careful about your usage of the remote unless you wanted to share the secret with her.

Making your decision, you pressed the button on the remote again with your plastic fingers, and time froze once again, not that there was anything moving that would have allowed you to see that. Just as before, you selected the Barbie with your body, and the holographic display reappeared, showing the figures of yourself and the Barbie, your heads still exchanged.

You were about to simply swap everything back when a thought suddenly crosses your mind; why did it have to be everything at once? You had swapped two things with the Barbie; your head, and your social position. You had swapped them both before time resumed, so reality had changed to take both into account. You couldn't help but wonder how things would change if you reversed one, but not the other. At present, you were considered a toy, but still had the same place in your family hierarchy, despite your sister playing with you as she would have her Barbie before the swap. How would that change if you were considered a toy, but you had your normal body back? Would she still be playing with you like that? On the other hand, what if you swapped your status back, but kept the Barbie's body under your neck? Presumably your sister wouldn't be treating you like a toy anymore, but it was hard to imagine everyone treating you normally with a body made of plastic. You also couldn't help but wonder which aspect your size had been tied to. Why had your head shrunken to fit Barbie's body instead of her body growing to fit your head? Were you small because your head was on Barbie's body, or were you small because you were a toy?

Of course, all of this was simply hypothetical. While it could be fun to experiment, both your position as a toy and your plastic body were inconvenient, and were holding you back from swapping more. If you wanted to find new targets, you'd probably need to go back to normal first. So, taking everything into account, you ultimately decided to...

You have the following choices:

*Pen*
1. Swap everything back

2. Swap your head back

3. Swap your social position back

*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
