You woke up in somewhat of a cold sweat, beads of perspiration covered your forehead as you breathed heavily in and out. Had what you dreamed about been true? That voice, a voice that seemed familiar yet so far out of memory.
"...I will give you a birthday gift, you will be able to swap bodies with anyone by wearing an atleast one piece of clothing of the one you want to swap with."
"Alex! It's time to get up! Come on now!" called from behind your bedroom door.
In walked your mother. For someone in her early forties and gone through a nasty divorce, she had done pretty well for herself. She was still able to cook for you and your sisters every night and could hold a stable well-paying job to keep her three children maintained. In terms of looks, you took almost nothing after her and she often mentioned you looked just like your father. She had a short but wide body, particularly in the bottom and chest, which was all weight gained due to a slight drop into depression after she walked out on your dad. Her hair was long, red, and flowing which matched her green eyes, look shared among both your sisters too. In her youth, your mother had been a real looker based on old photos your saw.
"Come on, dear," she said, growing impatient. "I know it's your birthday but I can't let you just sleep the day away. I need you to babysit Briana today until I get back from work."
You groaned, Briana was your younger sister. At age five she was like a thin miniature version of your mother.
"Now, don't give me any lip young man. You know I need this paycheck more than anything. I promise once I get back we'll head to your favorite restaurant to celebrate. Just do this for me, please?"
"Okay mom..." you said begrudgingly.
"Thanks sweetie. There should be some pizza leftover in the oven in case you get hungry. Victoria is out at the mall with her friends, but call her if you need anything first before me unless it's an emergency. Take care and happy birthday."
She gave you a big kiss on the forehead and left for work. Briana was probably just downstairs playing with her toys, she probably wouldn't cause any trouble meaning you could do pretty much anything you wanted. Memories of the dream you had suddenly came rushing back in your mind.
"...you will be able to swap bodies with anyone..."
It seemed like an odd thing to dream about, even more odd than the dream you had about swimming in a vat of pickles while on a school field trip. But something about it enticed you. Sure it was just a dream, but would it be so wrong to see and if it were true? Besides with your mother away at work you had a whole unguarded wardrobe you could potentially try on, though it made you feel awkward to think about.
Once dressed you stumbled out of your room and discovered...
