Quickly towel off and switch back

You feel like you need a shower, but that might raise even more questions when Zack wakes up. Instead, you grab a towel and quickly wipe off as much sweat and semen as possible. You pull Zack’s blankets back to try to cover as many wet spots as possible and pull his boxers back on.

As you do, you wonder about those mental images you experienced and tentatively reach out toward Zack’s mind and see if you can see anything else. Nothing. Maybe it was all your imagination or maybe it only works when you are highly aroused. You will think about that more later on.

You glance at the wet spot on your jeans and consider changing clothes before attempting the switch. Zack might notice the change though and you still aren’t sure you are going to be fully honest with him about what happened. It might be easier to leave well enough alone for now.

With a quick glance around the room for good measure, you take a deep breath and reach out with your mind toward your own body and think, “Switch.”

The world goes dark for a moment, but when your vision clears, you see the ceiling of your room. A quick look down confirms you are in your own body. You quickly glance at Zack, and he is conscious, but disoriented. You get up and take him by the shoulders, shaking gently.

“Zack? Are you ok?”

You see Zack’s eyes begin to focus. He looks around and then says, “Yeah, I’m here. That was — wow — that was really weird!”

Zack sits down, and you sit next to him on his bed. Cautiously you ask, “What do you remember? What was it like for you?”

Zack shakes his head, like he’s trying to remember a rapidly-fading dream. “It was weird! I think I was dreaming. How long was I out, anyway?” Zack looks at the clock in surprise. “An hour! Dude! What happened?”

Conflicted, you wonder what you should tell him. You could make up a story, and as long as you never do anything like this again, Zack may never know the difference. Still, he’s your best friend, and he’s the only one you have trusted with this whole mess. If you aren’t honest with him, how can he truly help you figure out what was going on?
