The sun filtered through sheer curtains, painting patterns on his toes. 29. He was watching cartoons with a half-eaten peanut butter sandwich in hand. 30. The smell of Jackie's famous chocolate chip cookies wafted from the kitchen. 31. Suddenly, footsteps clicked on the stairs. 32. His older cousin was coming down. 33. Her name was Madison Taylor, but everyone called her Maddie. 34. Maddie was 17 years old, a high school junior. 35. She was born October 3rd, 2006. 36. Maddie was tall, at 5 feet, 8 inches. 37. She weighed about 130 pounds. 38. Her hair for prom was styled in shining, cascading auburn curls. 39. Her eyes were a striking greyish green, rimmed in expertly applied mascara. 40. The dress Maddie wore was breathtaking. 41. It was a floor-length gown, shimmery navy blue, dotted with silvery stars. 42. The bodice was form-fitted with intricate beadwork swirling in celestial patterns. 43. The neckline dipped in a tasteful V, with sheer tulle covering her shoulders and arms. 44. The skirt billowed out, made of gossamer layers of chiffon and tulle. 45. From the waistdown, the dress sparkled in the afternoon sun. 46. The hem was softly scalloped. 47. Maddie’s shoes were almost as stunning. 48. Her heels were 4 inches tall. 49. The shoes themselves were strappy silver sandals. 50. Each thin strap was studded with rhinestones. 51. The heels glittered, reflecting light like tiny disco balls. 52. Around her ankles, the shoes fastened with delicate clasps shaped like stars. 53. Her toenails matched the dress in sparkling midnight blue. 54. Maddie’s jewelry completed the magical look. 55. 1. A choker necklace lined with tiny sapphires. 56. 2. Dangly earrings with crystal moons and stars. 57. 3. A silver bracelet set studded with blue and white gems. 58. 4. A slender ring with a single aquamarine stone. 59. 5. An anklet with dangling miniature charm keys and tiny hearts. 60. Maddie sashayed into the living room, sighing loudly. 61. She twirled in front of the hallway mirror, frowning at her phone. 62. Benji watched, enthralled by the swirl of fabric and sparkle. 63. Maddie rolled her eyes, looking frustrated. 64. “I really don’t want to go to prom with Tyler—he forgot our anniversary and I don’t find him attractive anymore,” she said, her voice clipped. 65. She snapped her clutch purse shut and glanced around the room. 66. Suddenly, Maddie paused, biting her lower lip in thought. 67. She turned her gaze toward Benji on the couch. 68. Her eyes lit up with a mischievous gleam. 69. She trotted over, tulle swishing audibly, and crouched to Benji’s level. 70. “You’re perfect!” Maddie exclaimed, grinning. 71. Before Benji could react, Maddie grabbed his little hand. 72. Benji squirmed, immediately feeling strange. 73. “Let go of me!” Benji squeaked, struggling as a weird tingling swept over him. 74. In an instant, a dizzying swirl of color and confusion overtook Benji. 75. He felt as though he was being pulled inside out. 76. Then suddenly, everything changed. 77. Benji blinked, feeling much taller. 78. He stood up in a rush, lurching forward. 79. He wobbled unsteadily, something heavy tugging him down. 80. Looking down, Benji saw the beautiful dress flaring from his hips. 81. Panic shot through him as he noticed the shiny, strappy heels on his now delicate feet. 82. “Ahhh!” Benji screamed, his voice sounding just like Maddie’s. 83. He clutched at the layers of chiffon, nearly tripping. 84. On the couch, Benji saw himself—or, what looked like him—staring back, wide-eyed. 85. Maddie, now in Benji’s body, grinned impishly. 86. “Perfect! I don’t have to go to prom now,” Maddie chirped, using Benji’s small voice. 87. Benji, feeling dizzy and wrong, reached for the wall to steady himself. 88. His heart pounded beneath a chest now pressed into a sequined bodice. 89. Everything looked different and felt strange. 90. Stella walked in, blinking at the “girls.” 91. “Get a quick photo, Maddie, before you go!” she cooed, oblivious. 92. Benji couldn’t protest as Stella snapped a picture, mistaking her for Maddie. 93. A car honked outside—the prom group was here. 94. There was no time for Benji to object or explain. 95. The next hour was a blur. 96. Maddie handed Benji a clutch purse, whispering, “Just play along, no one can tell.” 97. Benji’s legs trembled as he tottered out to the waiting limo. 98. The other teens chatted excitedly; Benji barely recognized them. 99. He nodded when spoken to, voice stuck in Maddie’s register. 100. At the prom venue, the music boomed, lights sparkled everywhere. 101. Benji clung to the wall, feeling completely out of place. 102. The dress swirled every time he moved; the heels pinched his toes. 103. Someone—Tyler?—came up and offered his arm. 104. Benji accepted, cheeks burning. 105. He was twirled around the dance floor. 106. The other teens complimented the dress; Benji could only mutter awkward thanks. 107. For hours, he endured countless photos, questions, and dances. 108. He barely touched the snacks, too afraid to smudge his lip gloss. 109. As midnight approached, Benji finally slipped out. 110. The ride home was mostly silent. 111. He stared at the night reflected in the limo windows, feeling a lump in his throat. 112. At last, he staggered back up the driveway. 113. In the foyer, the tapping of the heels echoed with every step. 114. Exhausted, Benji sought out the bathroom for some privacy. 115. He locked the door behind him, relief flooding over. 116. Turning, he glanced down—dazzling dress, delicate arms, sparkling heels. 117. Benji pressed a trembling hand to his cheek, shocked by smooth skin, unfamiliar features. 118. He felt tears stinging behind his mascaraed lashes. 119. There was a sudden knock on the door. 120. Benji opened it and bumped right into Maddie—now in his younger, fidgety body. 121. Maddie smiled in a lopsided, sheepish way. 122. “I changed my mind. I don’t want to swap back. Honestly, you look so cute in those heels and that dress. Now you can wear them whenever you want,” she said, grinning. 123. Benji felt cold panic spike through him. 124. “What? Noooooooo! I don’t want to be a girl!” he wailed, his voice higher and more anguished than ever. 125. Maddie—still looking like seven-year-old Benji—shrugged, barely concerned. 126. “Well, I hated prom and everyone’s going to play with you tonight instead of me. You’re better at being me. It’s only fair,” Maddie said, her tone matter-of-fact. 127. Benji shook his head desperately, curls bouncing. 128. “Please, Maddie, this is weird! I want to go back!” 129. Maddie frowned, pretending to think. 130. “Nope. I promised myself I’d never go to prom. Besides, you get to be older now. Grown-ups get to do whatever they want.” 131. “But—But—I miss my games and cartoons. I miss Mom and Grandma hugging me little!” Benji sniffled. 132. “You can still get hugs,” Maddie said. “Look, I’ll show you.” She reached up in Benji’s little arms and hugged Benji’s waist. 133. Benji startled, unsure if he wanted to cry or laugh. 134. He felt too tall, too sparkly, too out of place. 135. Suddenly, he had an idea. 136. “If I’m you…I’m allowed to use your phone, right?” Benji asked carefully. 137. Maddie, still enjoying being a kid again, grinned. “I guess so! Go ahead.” 138. Benji snatched up the phone and dialed Stella. 139. “Mom?” he stammered, “It’s me, Benji—something’s really wrong!” 140. Stella, confused, replied, “Maddie? What’s going on?” 141. “I’m not Maddie—I’m Benji, really! Maddie swapped us, and I don’t want to be her! She didn’t want to go to prom so she made me do it!” Benji cried into the phone. 142. There was a pause. Then a click—the call was over. 143. Benji looked at Maddie; she shrugged, chewing her thumb. 144. “See—it’s complicated,” Maddie said. 145. Benji felt hopeless. 146. He spent weeks pretending to be Maddie, going to high school classes. 147. He fumbled through calculus, failed at French, and barely kept up with Maddie’s friends. 148. Maddie, now in Benji’s young body, seemed happier than ever. 149. She got to ride bikes, eat cookies, and nap during the day. 150. One day, during gym class, Benji tripped and fell in Maddie’s body, scraping his knee. 151. The pain was worse than any scrape he’d had as a little boy. 152. He missed being able to run fast without worrying about heels or dresses. 153. At night, Benji would hug a pillow and sniffle, whispering, “I want my Mom, not my teachers.” 154. He struggled to brush out Maddie’s long hair and pick outfits every morning. 155. Sometimes, Maddie coached him over breakfast, sipping juice from a paper straw. 156. “You’ve got to wear the blue skirt on Mondays, the teachers all love it,” Maddie advised. 157. Benji resented every tip, every passing day. 158. The only saving grace was that now, Maddie—living as Benji—was kinder than before. 159. She helped Grandma bake cookies and read books every night. 160. Benji, exhausted from keeping up with teen life, retreated to art. 161. He doodled, painting galaxies and dreamscapes during study hall. 162. At prom, Benji had felt lost and invisible. 163. As weeks went by, he learned to navigate Maddie’s world; still, he longed for his own bed and stuffed bear. 164. On Benji’s original birthday, now in Maddie’s body, he sat quietly at the kitchen table as his grandma brought out a cake. 165. “Happy 8th birthday, Benji,” she said, a twinkle in her eye. 166. Maddie—still as Benji—cheered and clapped with sticky little hands. 167. Benji looked at the candles, fighting tears. 168. He closed his eyes to make a wish: “I want to be me again!” 169. As he blew out the candles, a shimmering feeling passed through him. 170. The world spun once more. 171. In a split second, Benji felt small again—feet not reaching the floor, hair falling back into a simple bowl cut. 172. Blinking, he realized he was himself—really himself—again. 173. Maddie, next to him, gazed down at her familiar hands, nails lacquered and long again. 174. She pressed her hand to her face, smiling wide. 175. “It worked!” Benji yelled, jumping up and hugging Grandma. 176. Stella rushed in, arms open wide, squeezing Benji with relief. 177. Maddie smirked. “Okay, okay, I admit it was weird. But you make a very cute Maddie.” 178. Benji wrinkled his nose. “I never want to wear heels again!” 179. Maddie grinned. “Don’t knock it ‘til you try it—oh wait, you did!” 180. Grandma laughed, cutting a slice of cake for everyone. 181. Through all the strangeness, Benji decided he liked being a little boy best. 182. Maddie shrugged, tossing her curls. “Fine by me. Prom was overrated anyway.” 183. Benji and Maddie shared a conspiratorial smile. 184. “Friends again?” Benji asked, reaching his hand out. 185. “Friends forever,” Maddie agreed, shaking his hand. 186. Stella ruffled both their hair, beaming. 187. Benji dug into his cake, happy to be home. 188. Maddie hummed, braiding Benji’s napkin for fun. 189. Grandma poured milk for the three, her eyes twinkling at the returned normalcy. 190. At last, safe and sound, Benji savored a moment without sparkle, heels, or worries—just family, laughter, and home.
