"Kim," your dad says, "Get back in the machine. We have to swap back right away." Your dad pleads to your mother, and tries to push her back in, but she won't budge. Your mom just stares down at her body, which had been replaced with her husband's. After a long period of silence, she began to smile.
"Swap back? I know you're a stick in the mud, Mark, but are you completely dense? We can change bodies at will!" Mark cringes as he watches his own image reach into his pants. "Mark, I'm you. I'm Mark now. This is amazing."
"Please, Kim. This power is more dangerous than you understand. Trust me. We need to switch back, right now." He tried one more time to guide his wife toward the metal tube, but to no avail. Your mother pushed him backwards, knocking him off of his feet.
"That's it, isn't it, Mark," your mother responds, "You built a machine like this once, didn't you? Are you even the real Mark?" Your dad grunts in frustration, his secret past dragged to the surface. "Well, husband, I've been keeping something from you, too."
