"Excuse me, what happened?" asks Chloe's voice, causing your attention to snap back to her body.
"Mrrp?" chirps Chloe from below you, but you don't look at her just yet.
"Uh..."
"I assume you know, since you're the one who put me in that pod before I became this human girl." The cat takes an unsteady step back, though clearly unused to being on two legs, having to catch the door of the machine to keep steady.
You rub the back of your head. "Yeah, uh...sorry? I guess? The machine switches bodies, so uh. You're in my girlfriend's body now."
"Mrow!" cries Chloe from down at your feet.
"...But why?" asks the cat.
You shrug. "Don't ask me, it was Chloe's idea."
The cat gives a distasteful look downwards. "Right...well, I'm not exactly thrilled to be female, but being human for a while doesn't seem so bad. How long are we supposed to stay like this?"
"...Actually, Chloe never said," you reply. "So, I guess until one of you signals to swap back?"
"...And I'm supposed to be your mate until then?"
"That's...one way to put it. Although a girlfriend and a mate aren't exactly the same thing."
"Oh?" the cat questions.
At that moment, you realize something. The cat mentioned not wanting to be female, and your original plan was to swap Chloe with yourself, not a cat. It probably wouldn't be hard to convince the cat to swap with you. But then again, given Chloe is in no position to protest, and she did technically already say no, it might be safer to not do that.
