Who is your swap partner?

Livia Whitman, the classy blonde beauty

You look down at the paper in disbelief - you were paired with Livia Whitman. She wasn't someone you knew well, but you had seen her around campus. She was beautiful, with long blonde hair and a good figure. She dressed in a preppy style and it always seemed like she came from money, but it was hard to pin down. Of anyone you could have been paired with, this was going to be interesting given how feminine she seemed from afar.

"Alright everyone!" said the Coordinator, trying to get the attention of unruly 20-year-olds. "You will have time to review your packet and its contents but we are going to begin the neuro-imprinting process. Don't be concerned, it is quite painless. We will call your names in order, going down the list."

The first names were called and the first couple slowly got up and walked toward the lab doors.

"Oh shit, I got Maggie O'Hara," said Aaron next to you. "She's that redheaded chick. I think she does the campus newspaper or something. Honestly, she is pretty hot! This is going to be awesome. Who did you get Mark?"

"I got Jessie Proskowitz," said Mark. "It looks like she does a lot of social stuff on campus."

"Oh yea! I remember her," said Aaron, "She is kind of a partier as I remember. You are going to have fun man." Looking down at your paper, Aaron whistled.

"Wow dude, you got Livia! She is gorgeous."

Aaron's name was called then. "Alright guys, wish me luck - see you on the other side!"

You gulp. This was still an extraordinary scenario. It was going to be interesting to see Livia's life through her eyes.

You hear your name called and you get up. You see Livia approaching you as you walk towards the doors.

"Hi," you say.

"Hi," she responds with a meek smile. "Nice to meet you, this is going to be something."

"Yes, I guess we have a lot to learn about each other."

You both pass through the doors and through a corridor to be seated at the machine. It is large and a sterile white, with two seats and a domed head component for each.

"Alright, take a seat," says the scientist. "We are going to inject you with the nanites and core chip and then do the imprint. Just sit still and it will all be over soon.

Your heart thuds as you sit down and they get to work. The process was complicated, but they knew what they were doing. The injection at the back of your neck was only a brief pinch an then over. After a few minutes of work.

"All signals green. We are proceeding in 3, 2, 1..."

With several buttons presses, the machine comes to life. You have the strangest feeling all through your body, like vertigo or being underwater - then you black out.

A few minutes later, you wake back up
