Thinking it might more fun to have a friend around to either bring in on his new 'secret' or to just mess around with, David started thinking of who he wanted to meet up with. His mind was made up for him when his buddy Paul shot him a text. They were working on a coding assignment for one of their CS classes together and Paul wanted to know if he wanted to meet up to finish it off since it was almost done.
Figuring that school should probably come first, David agreed to meet up. Once they were done, there would be plenty of time for swapping, assuming his power worked. On his way to the CS lab, David decided to make a few quick swaps, just to see if the power was real. Eyeing a pretty blonde girl and her average looking boyfriend, David swapped the girl's long hair that was pulled into a ponytail, onto her boyfriend.
Holy shit, it actually works, David thought, staring in amazement. Then, a devious grin appeared on his face. This is going to be fun.
Leaving the couple swapped, David next turned his attention to a bearded guy and a pretty Asian girl walking and talking together. These two did not seem to be a couple, but that didn't matter to David. Moments later, The guy's face was clean-shaven, his thick, dark beard now attached to the Asian girl's face.
David laughed at his swaps as he headed into the lab. The two swaps had been relatively simple, but they were enough to satisfy David for the time being. There would be time for bigger swaps later.
Peering around the room, David spotted Paul sitting in a corner with his laptop and walked over. "Hey, man," Paul said, seeing David approach. "How's it going?"
"Pretty good, you?" David asked, not mentioning his new power just yet.
"I'm alright. I'll feel better when this assignment is done," Paul said, laughing.
"I hear ya," David said, pulling up a chair.
David briefly looked his friend over, wondering if he should swap him at all. His shoulder-length headbanger's mop was pulled back into a low, manly ponytail, and he was wearing black sneakers, faded grey jeans, and a black t-shirt with the logo of some metal band David wasn't familiar with on it. David laughed on the inside a little, thinking of Paul's somewhat obscure music tastes. David was only familiar with more prominent bands like Metallica that had broken into the mainstream. His thoughts returning to his powers, David decided against swapping just yet.
"Ready to get to work?" David asked.
"You bet," Paul replied.
Over the next hour or so, David and Paul polished off the assignment. You wouldn't necessarily have thought it, looking at either of them, but the two were quite smart and knew their programming. Glad the assignment was done, David leaned back in his chair and stretched.
