Part 1

"Jack come on over! We can go to the Weird Al concert," Peter enthused.

Peter phoned Jack to tell him the happy news.

"Your Mom will take us? Because my mom said I can't go alone. She says I'm too young. I'm eleven and it's only a few minutes bus ride to get there. I mean I take the bus to school every day. What's the difference to take it to the concert? It's Weird Al, what could happen there?"

"No, my mom won't take us. My sister will."

"Sofia?"

"Yeah."

"You asked her before. She said she wouldn't do it."

"She will now."

"Why?"

"Because I'll make her do anything we want."

"What does that mean?"

"You'll see. Just come on over."

"So, you asked her, and she said she'll do it?"

"No, not yet, but she will. Stop being stubborn and get here."

"OK, I'll be right over. I just have to get dressed."

"I'll be waiting. This will be great."

Peter was the stereotypical smart younger brother to his air-headed sister Sofia. Although all combinations of brothers and sisters, old and young are stereotypical these days. He is five foot three with messy dark brown hair and eyes. he has always been the smart one in the family and takes pride in that, which annoys his older sister Sofia immensely.

Sofia, the older sister, is more interested in her social life than her school life. She isn't failing any of her subjects at school but isn't over-achieving as her brother is. She discovered boys a couple of years back and has had a steady stream of boyfriends or different seriousness since then. As she is a pretty girl who cares about her appearance, finding a new boyfriend when the last was gone is not hard for her. Not that each breakup wasn't painful in its own way. She is five foot six with relatively straight dark brown hair that falls to just below her shoulder blades and hazel eyes. She is a VSCO girl although that trend is waning for her, not that she still doesn't want to 'Save The Turtles'.

Jack arrived. "So, we are going to see Weird Al?'

"Yeah, we are going to see him tonight."

"Sofia is going to take us"

"Yeap."

"How will you convince her."

"I'm not going to you are."

'What do you mean?'

"You are going to become her and then since you'll be her, we'll just go."

"What are you talking about?"

"You are going to swap bodies with Sofia and then we'll go to the concert."

"I don't want to be Sofia."

"It's just for one night. You'll swap back tomorrow. But in the meantime, we'll go to the concert."

"Wait, it's not possible to swap bodies."

"Yes, it is."

"How?"

"With this." Peter showed Jack a device. It didn't look too complicated. It looked sort of like a digital camera. It didn't have very many buttons or even much of a view screen. It didn't look too impressive.

"What is that?"

"I told you, it's what we are going to use to swap you and Sofia."

"Sure, how does it work?'

"It's a combination of things. It had both magic and scientific components. I'm not going to explain everything. But I have been working on it for quite a while."

"I don't believe it works. It can't."

"It does. I tested it and it works."

"Tested it?"

"Yeah, having you noticed that Amy Chen and Franklin Benz have been acting strangely?"

Jack had noticed some things, but it wasn't extremely overt. Franklin wasn't wearing dresses and acting extremely girly. But something was a bit off with him. Amy, who he didn't know as well, did seem a bit different. But mostly what he noticed was that they were together a lot.

Amy and Franklin had been swapped. They were doing their best to keep this fact hidden from everyone. They didn't want to seem like freaks. They kept in close contact so they could help each other. Plus, they were the only ones who knew what was going on. They hoped to return to their own lives eventually, they didn't want to ruin who they were before that happened. There were definite signs that the swap had taken place. But only if a person was looking for it. Mostly both were kidded about it by each other's friends when they noticed something odd.

"Well, I swapped them. That is why they are acting like that."

"Come on!"

"It's true."
