First Twelve Hours

Aera woke up the next morning in an unfamiliar place. She was laying on a bed that wasn't hers. In a flash of panic, she jumps out of bed and makes her way to the door.

On the door is a full-length mirror,  this is when the shocking realization hits her, she's not in her bed because she's not herself. She examines the person in front of her, Vernon. He looks just as she remembers,  but with a small gash above his eyebrow from yesterday.

She sits down on Vernon's bed for quite some time, trying to process what happened, and getting no where. She is brought out of her thoughts only from the sound of the doorbell and Sofia's voice calling her brother's name.

She makes her way down the stairs,  feeling the extra weight in each step.

"Yeah", Aera states in a deeper tone.

"Aera's here asking for you", Sofia states looking straight at her brother's face, showing oblivion to the matching cuts on both Aera and Vernon's heads.

"Yeah, I need to talk to you", Vernon states in Aera's voice, mimicking her.

"Okay, come up to my room", Aera states.

The pair run up the stairs, leaving Sofia confused.

"So we need to fix this", Aera states.

"I don't know,  I'm kind of enjoying this", Vernon states as he gropes Aera's boobs jokingly.

"Don't touch me like that", Aera states as she slaps Vernon in the arm.

"Hey, you can't hit girls", Vernon grins.

"Alright, whatever, we seriously need to do something about this".

"Let's go to this guy and make him fix this ".

***

The pair exit Vernon's house and make their way to the strange man's house.

Aera makes her way to the doorstep, realizing that there wasn't a bell, she pounds on the door until the man opens up.

"What can I help you with", He states.

"You know exactly what you have to do", Aera spits as she grabs the man by the collar, using her newfound strength.

"Let go of me and maybe I can help ".

"You can put us back"?

"No that's your job".

"Huh", Vernon responds.

"The only way to get back is to really learn who this person is, once you finally realize this, you will be back to normal".

"Easy", Vernon states, "She's the popular girl, the one with the perfect life".

Aera stands dumbfounded.

"You have 36 hours, it would have been 48, but you already wasted half of the day. You have tomorrow and half the day after  that to figure it out, or you're stuck like this forever", The man states before walking back into his house and shutting the door.

"Okay, it's Saturday, tomorrow meet me at the park and we can figure this out", Aera says as they both walk their separate ways.
