The Swapper Liam woke up before anyone else in his family. He had received a trait swapper and wanted to use it. It could swap any trait between two people, not just between the possessor and another person. No one knew he had it. No one would believe that such a thing existed. He wanted to try it out. The best thing about the swapper was that once a swap took place, no one would know anything had changed, regardless of how ridiculous the transformation was. With his eyes sparkling, he crept out of bed, his feet hitting the floor. He picked up the swapper and walked quietly to Nicole's room, his eight-year-old sister. He opened the door and peaked in. Nicole was asleep. Only her head and the top part of her pajamas peeking out from under the covers. He focused the swapper on her and selected clothes. His apparel transformed instantly. Outside her room he looked at himself. He smiled broadly as he looked at what he was wearing. "My pajamas are the best!" he thought. "They're soft and have tiny, sparkly stars all over them. The stars are pink and blue and some even have a little glitter. The top has long sleeves with cute ruffles at the ends, and the pants have an elastic waistband that's really comfy. There's also a little picture of a sleeping cat on the chest, with a tiny pillow and a blanket. It's like my pajamas are giving me a hug and making me feel all cozy and special!" Liam didn't notice that his thinking had changed to make his new attire. He saw the pajamas the same way that his sister had. He took a couple of steps toward his room. It was time to get out of the pajamas and get into his day clothes. He wondered what he would wear, ideas filled his head. But he hesitated. He returned to Nicole's room and made one last swap. He swapped his short blond hair with his sister's longer blond hair. He thought that the longer hair would look better with the outfit he would wear. For the first time in his life, Liam had hair that extended pasted his shoulder blades. Liam returned to his room, it looks as it always had. He runs to his closet and opens it with a sense of purpose. His closet was filled with lovely apparel in multiple styles and a rainbow of colors. He rifled through his neatly arranged garments. After a moment of deliberation, he pulls out his favorite dress---a knee-length, pastel pink gown with a full, twirly skirt made of layers of tulle. The dress is adorned with tiny, embroidered flowers along the hem and a satin ribbon that ties into a bow at the back. The bodice is simple yet elegant, with cap sleeves and a delicate lace overlay that makes Liam feel special like a princess every time he wears it. Liam carefully lays the dress on his bed, then turns to his dresser to pick out the perfect accessories. He selects a pair of white ankle socks with frilly lace edges and his shiny, patent leather shoes that click softly when he walks. Next, he pulls out a small, silver tiara---a gift to Nicole from her grandmother---that he plans to wear atop his head like a crown. He strips himself quickly of his pajamas. He pulls off his panties. He didn't notice that they were bikini style cotton gray panties with a wide leg and a butterfly print. He replaced them with a pair of pink high waisted cotton panties with a flamingo print.
