Swap everyone's names back to normal.

    by: Unknown
'Steven' enjoyed the evening so far, but something was still bothering him. He couldn't just remember what it was exactly, well he would remember it eventually. 'Steven' and 'Liz' ordered their food and made some small talk while waiting for it. He knew he was somehow excited to call 'Liz' by her name, but it might be the excitement of knowing how lucky he was having her as his girlfriend.

The waitress brought them their dinner. A pepperoni pizza for 'Liz' and spaghetti for 'Steven'. 'Steven' just loved spaghetti, it was only too bad that his mom never made it that often.

A few minutes later 'Steven' was already finished with eating while 'Liz' was still busy with her second slice.

"I can't believe you eat that fast 'Steven', it's a wonder that you don't get cramps from it." 'Liz' said surprising.

"It's a gift 'Liz', a gift." 'Steven' said very proud leaning back. He noticed 'Liz' leaned back as well, smelling something awful. It was then that 'Steven' realized they must have put too many onions in his spaghetti. Clearly he could use some breath mints. 'Steven' grabbed his wallet and looked around for them. He usually had a couple of them in case of an emergency like this. It was then that he came across his driver's license. It clearly stated James as his first name. It then came back to him. The swapping of the names with the British man James. Or was it Steven? He remembered doing the same thing with the British lady 'Laura' and 'Liz'. Better fix that.

With a quick thought 'Steven' switched his name back with 'James' and 'Liz' with 'Laura' while taking a breath mint. He was wondering if the swap worked when he noticed Laura was talking to him. "James are you there? Your mind seemed to have wondered off."

"Oh nothing Laura, just thinking about something. What did you say?" James asked. It worked, I'm James and she's Laura again.

"I said I couldn't take a bite more, do you want it?" Laura said shoving her plate over to James. It didn't take long for James to finish it as well.

"Weird isn't it?" Laura suddenly asked.

"What is? James asked back as he finished the last slice of the pizza.

"That British couple that just left the restaurant, that lady was wearing a shirt with video game characters on it. Kinda weird isn't it for a woman that age to wear something like that." Laura said.

"Yeah I think so too. Wait a sec they left?!" James asked surprised. James peered through the window and saw how the couple stepped inside a cab and rode away.

What have I done? That lady just went off with Laura's clothes, Laura won't be too happy if she finds out. James thought.

"James, is something troubling you?" Laura asked concerned. "You've been acting weird this whole evening."

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. James caves in and fesses up what he did.

2. James doesn't tell her and tries to make it up to her.

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
