This choice: Dani Borrows the Staff for a Bit • Go Back...Chapter #9Dani Borrows the Staff for a Bit by: sget   HThinking quickly, she throws on a light blue robe, shoves her mannish feet into a cute pair of sandals, and slowly grabs the staff from the floor near Nancy's sock-clad foot.
"Phew," she sighes quietly. 'Nearly caught his ankle with it. I need to be more careful.'
Quickly and quietly, she slips out the front door and walks down the hall, feeling a bit silly for carrying a big golden staff around. Finally, at the end of the hall, she reaches the newly-wed couple's door. Muffled voices echo through the heavy wooden door and she smiles. "No going back now," she mumbles and knocks.
After a moment, Ronnie opens the door. Her long curly hair is let free, nearly entirely covering her sleepy squinting eyes. "Dani! What are you doing awake? And... What's with the big pole?"
Dani opens her mouth to answer, but she's cut off by the sound of Seth's voice somewhere behind the door. "Is that Dani?" suddenly, his stubble-coated face appears behind Ronnie's. "What'cha doing here so late, Dani? Is that a tension rod?"
"Hey guys," Dani starts, wondering how to explain. "Do you mind if I come in? I couldn't sleep."
"Sure, sure. I'll make us some tea." Ronnie smiles, stepping out of the way.
"Hey, nice shorts there, Dani," smiles Seth. "I think I've got the same pair here somewhere."
Once the three had settled in the living room with warm drinks, Dani took the time to briefly look over the friendly couple. Veronica, or Ronnie for short, sat with her knees together in nothing but an oversized nightshirt and a pair of panties. Her messy brown curls drape over the large breasts tenting her shirt like curtains. Idly, she traces circles in the carpet with a toe.
Seth was shirtless, leaning forward and propping himself by placing a large hand on one of his knees. He had very dark stubble, a few degrees thicker than a 5 o'clock shadow, and thick hair coming down to the top of his neck in the back. He wears loose-fitting plaid pajama pants and nothing else.
After gathering her thoughts, Dani explains the staff the best she can and leaves Nancy out of the story.
"Obviously, no takebacks," Dani remarks. "I don't know when we'll get to use it again, and even when we do, there's no guarantee that we'll swap anything back. So, if you're not comfortable committing to some change, we don't have to do it."
Seth furrows his brow in thought. "If it's such a gamble, why are you so hellbent on doing it? Especially now, in the middle of the night. Not that I believe in magic."
"Well, I guess I'm a bit obsessed with this staff at the moment." She taps the rod on the carpeted floor. "I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. Never had an addictive personality, but this thing..."
Ronnie looks from her cup of tea to her husband and back again, before making eye contact with Dani. "I'll do it. I don't mind change."
Seth scratches his bare arm. "I'm not sure yet. If it's real, there are things in my life I don't want to lose."
"It's your choice, Seth. No pressure." Dani gives a lopsided smile before turning to Ronnie and extending the staff toward her. "Ready?"
After a moment's hesitation, she grabs the headpiece of the rod and a blinding flash of light burns through the room.
When she comes to her senses, Dani realizes her shorts have vanished completely, and instinctively pulls her robe closed.
"You got-"
Noticing that her voice her voice has morphed into Ronnie's, she shoots a hand to her mouth. Ronnie's eyes widen and a grin slowly forms over her face.
"You've got my shorts," Nancy says, finishing her sentence.
Ronnie idly tugs on the shorts sticking out from under her long shirt, before raising a brow and bringing her hands up to her chest. "You got my breasts," Ronnie says in Dani's voice, without missing a beat. "These are so much smaller than mine. God, I can't believe that worked."
Dani looks down at the mounds struggling against the fabric on the top half of her robe. "Oh. Wow!"
"I... Don't see a difference in either of you," comments Seth.
"My legs!" Exclaims Ronnie, ignoring her husband. "They're so much longer now! I bet I could reach the top of my bookshelf with these."
Seth cocks his head. "Couldn't you always?"
"And mine are shorter and curvier." Dani kicks her legs back and forth in an attempt to be feminine, but ultimately fails thanks to Nancy's body language. "I love them!"
"Is that everything?" Asks Ronnie. "How many trades does that thing usually do?"
"Five, usually. We're probably missing one."
Little did the girls know, they had swapped occupations. Now Ronnie was a medical student and Dani was a music teacher on campus. They had the required knowledge and skills to go with it.
Ronnie pulls her new legs up onto the couch and wraps her arms around them. "The suspense is killing me. There's no way to find out what the last one was?"
"Nope, we'll just have to live out our lives and see what changes." Dani shrugs.
"You guys are just messing with me, right?" Seth wipes the sleep from his eyes. "Nothing changed."
Ronnie rests her head on her knee, somewhat squishing her cheek between her leg and her head. "Maybe you have to be a part of the swap to see changes. Dani did say reality changes to make it normal."
"I did, but I also figured Seth would be able to tell since he was in the room with us when we did it," Says Dani, slouching into the couch. "Guess I was wrong."
"Alright, now I'm sure you guys are messing with me. Let me touch the staff," Seth declares in a wave of confidence. "Just to prove it."
The girls look at each other, dumbfounded, then back to Seth. "You... sure about that, babe?" Ronnie asks, somewhat wide-eyed.
"Look, I don't feel comfortable swapping with you to prove that point." Dani sits up straight, looking him in the eye. "You're gonna hate yourself if you swap something important."
Seth's eyes flash between the girls. "I'm calling your bluff. Besides, if I'm wrong, you guys seem fine."
Seth leans over to pick up the staff and swiftly taps Dani's arm with it. A second flash of light fills the room.
A few things were noticeable at once. Dani's pinkish bra was now displayed to the world on Seth's flat chest. Dani grasped at her torso to find that her large globes were completely free under her top and robe. Additionally, his hair and stubble was now sandy blonde and wavy whereas her own boyish haircut was now dark and thick. It looked inky black in the dimly lit living room. She could now easily see the hair on her arms and legs much more clearly than she could when she was still blonde.
"God, I hope I don't develop male pattern baldness now," she mumbles to herself.
Ronnie scoots closer to Dani and puts a hand in her back. "You okay, babe?" Dani's eyes go wide and she feels a stirring in her panties.
"Yeah, I think so," says Seth, oblivious to the fact that Ronnie's talking to Dani. "This is so weird, did-" suddenly his hand shoots to his groin, where he finds nothing but a slight mound. "No, no." His other hand shoots to his crotch as well, as if to confirm what he was feeling. "No-no-no. That's not good."
"What, do you have her penis between you legs now?" Ronnie asks her former husband as he stands up and starts pacing toward the door. "Where you going, roomie?"
"I need to walk.. And think." He slams the door behind him, leaving the newly-wed couple alone in his living room.
Dani fidgets with the wedding band on her finger. "I should probably leave too." She stands. "Sorry about Seth."
"You know you can stay, right? I know it's not your apartment, but you don't always have to run off down the hall at the end of the night." Ronnie gazes up at Dani from the couch with sad eyes that make her stomach flutter. "The bed's going to feel empty tonight."
"I... need to check on Nancy. Maybe tomorrow, um, babe." Dani swallows.
Ronnie nods and walks her to the door. As Dani steps out, Veronica pulls her new husband by the hand back to her. "Before you go..." She pulls Dani into a deep kiss. "See you tomorrow, baby."
Dani, red-faced and flustered, manages a "...Love you" before slipping out the door and heading toward her own place, desperately pulling to keep the robe closed around her bare legs.
"Can't wait for these leases to end," Ronnie mumbles and goes to bed.

In the hallway, the staff suddenly begins to glow in Dani's hand. A woman's voice echoes into her skull. "You've had your fun, Dani McLannin. Ten swaps in secret to sate your curiosity. Now return my staff to where you found it or suffer consequence."
Dani nearly drops the staff in shock. "I was about to anyway," she groans to herself in frustration.
"Very well."
She quietly slips into her apartment, lockes the door, kicks the sandals off her masculine feet and into the pile, and slowly places the staff on the floor by Nancy's sleeping form. In the process, she feels the staff bump into something and she winces.
