Plenty of time, and I want a weekend in Spain.” 99. 18. Fiona to Charlotte: “Coffee first, alcohol later. It’s tradition.” 100. 19. Olivia to Penelope: “Jewelry aisle next, my darling?” 101. 20. Fiona to all: “I’ll wander off—need a touch more feminine magic.” 102. Fiona breaks away to browse the accessories, drawn by sequined headbands and delicate floral hair clips. 103. She admires her own feet in her open white heels, gazing down at her neatly pedicured toes in the well-lit aisle. 104. “I’m so glad I had my feet done,” she muses, wiggling her bright coral nails. 105. Fiona walks briskly, unknowingly passing straight through Benjamin, whose form sifts like mist. 106. In her hand, Fiona inspects a rose-scented travel lotion, soft pink, with intricate packaging. 107. She fumbles, the lotion tumbles, and with eerie coincidence, it passes directly through Benjamin’s chest. 108. Fiona bends down casually, lining up perfectly with Benjamin’s invisible form, their space overlapping. 109. Benjamin’s vision goes pitch black; sound vanishes. 110. There is a tugging sensation, as if gravity and time spiral and spin. 111. Suddenly, Benjamin comes to, breathing heavily and shivering. 112. He is whole again—solid, crouched, staring straight ahead. 113. In his hand is Fiona’s dropped lotion. 114. He feels bizarre, his palms soft, his nails painted. 115. Benjamin looks down at his hands, arms, shoes. 116. He raises one trembling foot, noticing the gleaming open-toe heel. 117. He scans the aisle, sees his new calves and knees. 118. He dashes to a floor-length mirror, horrified. 119. The new reflection is not himself; it is Fiona. 120. Benjamin’s hair is pulled back into a sleek ponytail—the exact style Fiona had worn. 121. He shakes his head, watching the waves and shine swing side to side. 122. Every part of him feels wrong—foreign. 123. Benjamin doesn’t know who the British women are. 124. He tries speaking, but only a woman’s accented voice comes out: “Hello?” 125. The other British women approach Fiona’s form, smiling and laughing. 126. Penelope steps forward, placing a gentle hand on Benjamin’s waist. 127. “Isn’t your waist the loveliest, darling?” Penelope flirts, brushing closer. “I could eat you up.” 128. Benjamin blushes, eyes wide, fumbling to respond. 129. He struggles for words, but nothing comes—the boy’s fear and confusion mix with adult embarrassment. 130. The women continue shopping, and Benjamin, in Fiona’s body, tags along, quiet and sheepish. 131. Amelia notices her friend’s withdrawal and leans in. 132. “Are you alright, love?” Amelia says, concern flickering in her chestnut eyes. 133. Benjamin stiffens, nodding silently. 134. Charlotte and Olivia exchange worried glances. 135. Olivia whispers to Charlotte, “She’s acting so odd, isn’t she?” 136. Charlotte nods, “Let’s get her something fun.” 137. Penelope claps her hands together, “Let’s cheer her up with prosecco or fancy vodka!” 138. Amelia muses, “Or margaritas, perhaps? Tequila always helps a mood.” 139. Fiona—Benjamin—shakes his head but says nothing. 140. The women debate whether to head to the grocery store’s wine section or try a local liquor store. 141. “Maybe a proper bar,” Olivia says, “with live music and fancy cocktails?” 142. “Yes, bar it is!” Charlotte says decisively. 143. Together, they stroll out, chatting about which drinks to order. 144. Benjamin is anything but excited about alcohol, but he feels trapped in silence. 145. Out of the store, the air is cool and busy; their heels click against the pavement. 146. They drive back to their Airbnb, which is enormous and decadent. 147. The living area is spacious, filled with plush sofas, chandeliers, and mirrors. 148. Benjamin, overwhelmed, slips away from the crowd. 149. He finds himself alone in a large marble bathroom. 150. The walls are lined with mirrors, the counter gleaming under rows of lights. 151. Benjamin stares at his reflection—starting at his new ponytail, then the sharp cheekbones, the lipstick, the necklace. 152. He inspects Fiona’s dress, the rich green, the slender figure. 153. His new arms are lean, wrists adorned with silver. 154. His legs are bare, heels towering, toes sculpted and painted. 155. He stares down, feeling tears prick at his eyes. 156. “I miss grandma so much,” Benjamin whispers, voice tinged with longing, tears threatening to spill. 157. He slides down against the wall, sobbing softly. 158. Eventually, exhaustion overtakes him. 159. He finds the guest room assigned to ‘Fiona’, curling up under silky sheets, still clad in the elegant dress and heels. 160. The morning comes, bright and confusing. 161. Benjamin awakes, stretching—but he is still Fiona. 162. His new body feels heavy with makeup and perfume. 163. He stares at the ceiling, dread coiling in his belly. 164. The British women are up early, chatting and laughing in the lounge. 165. They eye the bedroom door, waiting for ‘Fiona’ to emerge. 166. Olivia stands and calls, “Come out, love! We need to talk.” 167. Benjamin shuffles, slow and uncertain, into the living room. 168. Charlotte clears her throat, a gentle smile blossoming. 169. “We know who you really are,” she says, her voice level and slightly amused. 170. “We found out you're a little boy, but you're welcome to stay our friend if you like!” 171. Olivia adds, “Think of all the benefits you have now as a woman.” 172. “Let me list them for you, so you see,” Penelope says brightly. 173. Benefits formatted list: 174. 1. “You get to wear beautiful dresses and try all sorts of new fashion.” 175. 2. “You can own dozens of elegant shoes—especially heels, imagine all the styles.” 176. 3. “You’ll have the choice of any jewelry you like—rings, necklaces, earrings galore.” 177. 4. “You’ll have your own money and can buy anything you want. Maybe more lotion!” 178. 5. “You can go out with us for drinks and fun—all the cocktails you never tried.” 179. 6. “You’ll develop a sophisticated, womanly British accent.” 180. 7. “People will always compliment you on your style and looks.” 181. 8. “You can travel, have adventures, join us everywhere.” 182. 9. “You’ll try new foods, experience life as a grown woman in a grown woman’s world.” 183. 10. “You get our friendship, darling! Sisters for life, now.” 184. Benjamin doesn’t want any of that. 185. His heart aches for his old life, his family. 186. Amelia sits gently beside him. 187. “What’s your mom’s name, love?” she asks. 188. “And your grandma’s?” 189. Benjamin struggles, mind fuzzy with confusion and regret. 190. He’s only four years old, names have always been hard. 191. He tries to remember. 192. “Mom’s name is Allison,” he sa
