Decided to be more cautious with swapping

James just groaned and headed to the shower, feeling not comfortable with messing with his mom's body. It just sounded wrong even to his now mighty self. She might've been annoying on most days, but she was fun on the few days that she could provide better for everyone in the house. His mother was a woman that he could try to mess around, but not now, and also he could try to improve her if he could!

The boy then decided to just go through his morning routine, which just meant that he took a shower and dressed in more casual clothes, since he was stuck at home due to the blizzard. The smell of breakfast felt like a huge motivator for him to get downstairs and rush to the kitchen, eager to at least try his powers out with more efficiency.

His mother was humming a tune to herself in their kitchen, cooking what looked to be eggs and bacon for herself, while a tray of soft looking pancakes were set on the dining table. James sat down and got ready for his meal, only taking two of the fluffy treats and slathering them with honey.

"Don't eat everything, mister! The pancakes are for you and your sisters!"

"What about Trent?"

"I already got his breakfast to his room. He wanted something different and I made it for him."

"Mom, don't you think you're coddling him too much? He's 24 for God's sake!"

"Nonsense Jamie! I treat all of my babies the same! There's no need to badmouth him like that! He's just going through a rough patch after finishing college..."

James just sighed and continued to eat his pancakes, not being able to reason with his mother that his eldest sibling in Trent was either a NEET or a grifter. And both of those conclusions to the teen felt alienating enough, since Trent was always a reserved, shy guy. How could've he gotten so... **** in these last few years?

A sound distracted James and he noticed that the television was on, passing some local news, a ritual by his mother on every morning. Then, a brilliant idea struck his head! What if he swaps things on the news! It could actually help him train, not cause any awkward family problems and even test his range! Foolproof plan!

"And so the weather is going to continue kind of chilly, with the forecast being that at least 3 more days of intense snowing around the region..."

The teen was never much one for paying attention, but now he was laser focused. The local news channel was as normal as it could get: the anchors were both looking to be on their mid 30s - with the guy already sporting some grey strands and the woman looking impeccable, not sexy impeccable, but more elegant. James was a 18 year old red blooded male teenager, pratically raised by the internet with low supervision by his single mom, so of course the overtly elegant nature of the lady anchor flew through his mind and he focused on his target.

Said target was the stereotypical weather lady: young, clearly it was her first job and so she was hired basically because she was good looking. And because she was willing to be a bit more underdressed. She wore a form fitting yellow dress, which highlighted her curves and contrasted nicely with her natural tan. Her curves were also not overtly exaggerated, but from what James saw, she had the classic hourglass figure and what sold the deal on her stereotypical role was on how her hair was just the type of platinum blonde that sealed the deal.

By his judgement, she actually seemed like an honest worker, kind of cute actually. But by his mind, he was already trying to get his powers to activate with no idea on how to. Just trying different strings of thought, with no coherent idea behind it. Until he got bumped and it dropped his focus, which he turned to look at the source of the disruption.

"Damn, they changed that ugly guy into this new chick? She looks alright."

"I hope she gets to stay with the job, hun. Had a nice breakfast, Trent?"

"It was great as usual, mom. I just came here to get some yogurt, or some orange juice."

James looked at the man that was his eldest sibling, Trent. The man was just out of college and already looked like a decade older: hairy all over with a focus on facial hair, but at least everything looked somewhat in check. His physic also was always on the more chubbier side, and even if Trent had a good diet, he never exercised as much, so he ended up just pilling up on his weight, which just looked worse on his shorter height. To top it all off, Trent was an absolute hater of getting new clothes, so all his minimal efforts to keep himself clean or otherwise were dampened by the fact he was stuck wearing clothes from a 5 or 6 years ago.

"Hey, Trent."

"Oh, hey squirt. Never saw you there. Sorry if I bumped at ya."

It was never really a choice of who he was going to swap, Trent just made himself a target to James, who was always a bit too much annoyed at how he was coddled. Trent has gotten himself into a good college and graduated in Computer Science with high grades, but refused to get a job because "he lost the passion" or "the world was fucked" just because he read some reddit posts or something. James didn't know, or didn't care, Trent was going to be his testing dummy. Plus he could always just undo the transformation tomorrow if things went wrong.

The two target selection was in full motion on James' head, but what could he swap between them? Trent would still be Trent if he swapped their weight. He would still be annoying with boobs or even more annoying if he had a girly voice... But wait... can James swap non-physical things?

That was the spark needed to clear James head and soon he felt a lot of unexpected vertigo, with his eyes fuzzying for a bit, before he held a puke. His powers acted on the meanwhile producing the biggest change he could ever predict. The second he looked on the television, James was shocked, why? Trent was on the TV. As a weather lady.

His brother's entire body shape switched, as the chubby short man was now a still chubby, but now that weight was now crammed into a bodycon type of dress - making it actually look extra curvy. Trent also had no visible facial hair or any hair in sight from what skin he had exposed. His face was groomed and even had makeup on, while his usual shaggy black hair was now put up in a crafty ponytail. It was jarring seeing Trent look this womanly, and so efficiently as well!

The rest of the illusion seemed to be selling the whole ensemble well. Trent's adam apple was hidden underneath a choker. And from how the maroon bodycon dress looked on the man's body, he must've been using some sort of padding and breast forms. Or it could be his actual weight. James didn't know and he was shocked, not even proccessing the heels that his brother used.

"Thanks for the input Ms. Baker! Hope to see you, tomorrow!"

"I should thank all of you for giving me a chance! See you all tomorrow, have a nice day!"

It was so jarring to hear Trent's voice sound just like a woman. No difference at all, the teen only recognized that it was still his brother because of the pronounciation and the ever present nasal tint that existed in Trent's speech pattern. James felt a small twinge of arousal at knowing he kind of just switched his brother's entire life around, more out of a power move than rather just seeing his sibling look as equally as hot as the previous weather lady.

"Trent looks so cute in that dress, don't you think Jamie?"

"Huh? Uhm, yes, I think?"

"I'm so glad he got this job. His fashion and design course really paid off! I hope he gets to grow out of his bubble..."

James ears perked at his mother's comments, smirking at knowing to what extent his powers worked, it was brilliant! He not only swapped his brother's lack of a job with the weather lady, but that also changed his whole life! His brother now knew how to crossdress and that somehow was related to a fashion course he did. That was an image in itself! But that also made James more eager, and also... Aroused. Not that he noticed that yet.
