Chloe

“Hey Josh can you help me for a second?” Chloe was wearing a tank top and running shorts, and she was laying on a yoga mat in the living room in stretching before her run. “Could you just help me work out my quads real quick? I’m still tense from my hike the other day”

Josh obliged, seeing as this provided him with the perfect excuse to try out swapping by touch. Chloe lied on her back and put her left leg in the air.

“Just push it towards me” she instructed Josh. He started by grabbing her foot and gently pressing her leg towards her chest. Almost instantly josh felt a tingling in his left foot and began to feel Chloe’s foot expand in his own hand. He saw her nail polish fade away, and hair sprout out of her toes. “A little further”, Chloe told josh, wincing with pain and unaware of the swap. Josh grabbed Chloe’s calf and felt it begin to lengthen, and the hair become thicker. Josh felt his balance shift as his left calf became shorter than his right calf. “Almost there” Chloe remarked as Josh slipped his hand down to her thigh and pushed a little further. He felt her quads lose some of their tone and again grow a layer of hair, as well as become a little paler at the shorts line. “All good”, Chloe sighed as Josh let pressure off of her, now his, leg. Chloe still hadn’t noticed the swap so Josh repeated it with the other leg, starting with the foot and methodically moving to her thigh. By the end he had both of his younger sister’s smooth and athletic legs. He figured although his legs weren’t as toned, the length might give her an advantage when running. “Can you help me up?” Chloe asked, and Josh instinctively grabbed her hands and pulled her up. He felt the familiar tingle in his hands as they became smaller and gained a light coat of polish on the nails.

When Chloe stood all the way up Josh noticed the magnitude of the swap, as he was significantly shorter and she was significantly taller. What was once a 10 inch height gap was now less than half that. Josh ran his petite new hands across his soft thighs and looked at Chloe for a moment when she suddenly looked up at him remarked “wait a second...”
