Piper's first photograph

"Piper! Come on in!" Percy said, opening the door. He led her upstairs to his room, and she said a brief hello to his roommates on her way up. Percy pulled out his computer chair, offering it to her, "Have a seat, it's already loaded."

Piper sat down in his chair and looked at the screen. Percy wanted to be a video game developer and was working on a game in his free time. He wanted her to test it, frankly because she was way better at playing games than he was, and he trusted her to give honest feedback.

"I don't want to explain it at all, because I wouldn't be there to explain it to someone downloading it for the first time either, right? But if something doesn't make sense write it down and I'll try to make it better. Oh and the sushi is in the fridge, I'll go get it."

Piper started playing his game as he went to get the food. It was a low resolution RPG, kind of old-school. Figuring out how to start a new game was pretty easy, although it didn't take her too long to find her first bug. He'd put a notepad beside the computer and started to fill it out. Percy came back with the sushi and set it down beside her, then sat down on his bed.

After a while she could feel his eyes boring a hole in the back of her head, "Could you...like do something else? You're freaking me out."

"Oh, sorry. I'm just nervous. I can't really study while you're playing my game."

"Ugh. Well you can't watch me. Oh, I bought a weird camera at this new store downtown. Why don't you play with that? It's in my bag."

Percy got off the bed and went into her bag. He pulled out the polaroid. "Oh, neat. Does it work?" He aimed it at her and pushed the button. There was a flash and a whir and a square white sheet started coming out of it. He grabbed it and shook it a few times, "Huh. The photo's blank? I wonder if I just..." He touched the empty part of the film and suddenly he was gone. In his place was a mirror image of Piper.

"What the fuck!?" Piper yelled, jumping out of the seat.

"Huh?" Percy's brain still hadn't caught up, "What's...what's wrong with my voice?"

"Look down buddy." Piper told him.

He did, "AH! What?" He held his arms out, Piper's arms, "What....what..." He was freaking out. Piper grabbed the camera from him and took his picture. This time no new film came out, but he turned back into his original body. She noticed the original photo of her crumble to ash and disappear.

"Wow...it really is magic." Piper said quietly.

"No, that, that's not possible. It's not real. Nothing happened. I...I'm drunk, or something." Curious, Piper raised the camera again and took his picture. He flinched, "Hey! Stop that!"

Piper grabbed the new sheet by the thick white edge. Where the photo should be it was just empty. She touched it with her finger. She saw instantly as her finger became thicker, hairier. She touched her face, felt the stubble of his 5 o'clock shadow, "Whoa..." His voice coming out of her mouth surprised her, even though she'd expected it.

"You're...you're me..." Percy said, stating the obvious.

Piper looked down, her clothes hadn't changed and her pants were way too tight on his frame. It was actually kind of painful. She unbutton her jeans and shoved them down, "That's better."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Percy yelled. "I'm wearing panties. Fuck."

Piper looked down and saw his package bulging out her of panties. The panties were actually too tight too. She hooked her thumbs into the waistband and pulled them down too. Gently she poked the cock dangling between her legs, "Huh..."

"Huh? You can't look at my dick and say huh!" Percy complained.

"Sorry, I meant. WHOA. So big! I didn't know they came this big. You're going to make some girl really-"

"Ok. Cut it out," He sighed, "So you get a magic camera and the first thing you did is touch my cock?"

"What? I bet you'd try to touch boobs if you had them."

Percy furrowed his brow, "I did, don't you remember? And I didn't touch your body at all! Now can you put some clothes on?"

"Do you want to?"

"Huh, want to what?"

"Touch my body. I mean, not MY body. That would be weird. But we can use the camera on other other to swap, then you can touch yourself and I can touch myself."

Percy shook his head, "No. This is wrong. So wrong." He grabbed the camera from her and took her photo, "There! Now we're..." He froze as he realized Piper was still bottomless, only now she had her own body back.

Piper screamed and covered her crotch, "Pervert!"

Percy looked away, "What? Me? You're the one who..."

Piper pulled up her pants, "It's fine. OK, let's just talk this out. Magic is real. I have a magic camera. This is..."

"Horrible." Percy said.

"Amazing!" Piper finished.

"Horrible? Come on, we can have so much fun with this."

"What if we get stuck? We could get into so much trouble with this." Percy retaliated.

"I thought you were the eternal optimist? This is what broke you?"

"I..." Percy hesitated, "I...I'd just feel guilt...taking someone's body."

Piper turned the camera around and took a selfie. Then she took the photo and handed it to him, "It's not taking if I give it to you." Then she took his photo, "But I want to take yours for a ride too. How about I finish playing your game for a bit, then I take your photo home and you keep mine. You don't have to tell me what you do with it, you don't have to use it either, just let's promise we won't leave our rooms as each other."

Percy looked at the blank photo in his hands, "You...you really aren't worried about me touching your body?"

"It would be your body, you'd just look like me." Piper said, "And I'm totally going to..."

"Don't tell me!" Percy said. He sighed, "Fine. You can take my photo, but no leaving our rooms and no interacting with other people!"

"Deal." Piper said, "For now." She added quieter.

"What?"

"Nevermind, I'll play your game for another 30 minutes, that's all. I'm too distracted now."

"Ugh. Fine. But promise you'll come back tomorrow and play more? I'm excited to keep going on it."

"Sure sure. I promise." Piper said.
