81. The dress distracted him, just enough for the transformation to nearly finish.
82. Before he knew it, jewelry appeared on him, along with the wedding ring.
83. Puzzled, she looked around the room, the memories almost completely gone.
84. She noticed her foot, with one sandal barely on.
85. "What? Why am I still home? I thought I left a while ago to run errands," she muttered.
86. She scolded herself, "Really, Margaret, what the hell are you thinking?"
87. Picking up the confiscated items, she placed them back where they belonged.
88. She spotted her other sandal in the corner.
89. Walking over, she picked it up.
90. Sitting down, she slipped it onto her foot.
91. She made sure it was snug, fitting well on her now familiar feet.
92. Then she stood up and walked to the open report card on the floor.
93. Bending down, she saw the bad grades.
94. She read the note aloud, "Lucas is struggling with his subjects."
95. Quietly, she made a mental note, "Okay."
96. She planned to speak to her husband about it.
97. Seeing a forged signature on the report card, Margaret got enraged.
98. "Did my son forge my signature to hide this? He forgot to loop the 'g' and he also forgot to add the dot above the 'i', and he forgot I write with a flourish," she fumed.
99. Suddenly, she spotted a spider crawling up her foot.
100. Her eyes widened, and she screamed.
101. A necklace slipped off her neck.
102. The strap of her dress loosened.
103. Her bracelet became undone.
104. "Ah! Ah! Why isn't my husband home to kill it?" she screamed.
105. Gathering herself, she fixed the dress strap.
106. She put the necklace back on, adjusting it carefully.
107. She refitted the bracelet.
108. She reminisced, "I can't believe I'm 67 years old. I graduated from my high school in 1973 and college in 1977 with a degree in Business. Then I worked as a manager for 20 years. I still remember life before the internet. I miss being 18 so much. My hair and skin looked so fresh."
109. "I just love being a woman," she reflected.
110. "These sandals still fit so well, feels like my first time wearing them."
111. "This pedicure looks so good in the sandals," she admired.
112. "I love the jewelry and dress I'm wearing."
113. "I love my pretty name, Margaret, and my mother named me that because she adored the Queen."
114. "I love my necklace. I got it from Paris."
115. "And my bracelet. I got it from my husband."
116. "And my ring. I got in the year 1977."
117. She looked at her painted nails smiling. "I just love the maroon color I chose on my nails."
118. She placed the report card in a visible area to discuss later.
119. Stepping into the restroom, she looked at her reflection.
120. Then she walked to the scale.
121. Stepping up, she looked down at her painted nails, still smiling.
122. Seeing her weight, she got self-conscious. "I need to lose weight to look good for my husband."
123. She confronted Lucas about the forged signature.
124. "Did you forge my signature? You’re grounded, no TV or games for a month," she reprimanded.
125. "But I didn't—" Lucas started.
126. "No excuses," she cut him off. "You know the rules."
127. She then called Ethan’s mom, Jenna.
128. "Hello, Jenna. This is Margaret," she began kindly.
129. "Your son tried to take his things back without permission!" she got stern.
130. "I don’t appreciate such behavior. You’ll need to speak with him," she continued aggressively.
131. After hanging up, she called her husband.
132. "I believe Lucas forged my signature," she explained sternly.
133. "I thought we raised him better than this, Robert!" addressing him by his first name.
134. "We need to deal with this, Honeybun," calling him a pet name.
135. Margaret ended the calls, still fuming about the forged signature.
136. Ethan, or rather, Margaret now, tried to make sense of everything.
137. Something seemed off, but the memories filled in the gaps.
138. She realized the permanence of her new state.
139. Walking to her vanity, Margaret sat down.
140. The face staring back was familiar but new.
141. Her hands traced her features, still astonished.
142. The life as Ethan was now distant.
143. She admired her manicure again.
144. The maroon polish still perfect.
145. Margaret sighed, a mix of acceptance and melancholy.
146. She clipped her sandals together.
147. "I do love these sandals," she said softly.
148. She walked back to Lucas's room.
149. "Now, what were you thinking?" she asked sternly.
150. Holding the report card, she gestured toward the grades.
151. "You can't just forge signatures to get out of trouble," she emphasized.
152. She handed Lucas the report card.
153. "No TV or games," she reaffirmed.
154. Lucas looked down, nodding.
155. Margaret turned to leave.
156. She walked with purpose, her sandals clip-clopping.
157. The transformation process still lingering in her mind.
158. Margaret paced the hallway.
159. Occasionally looking back at Lucas’s room.
160. She reached her own room, thinking of Ethan.
161. Flashes of Ethan’s memories came back.
162. Torn between identities, she sat on the bed.
163. The stolen things were where they belonged.
164. Margaret, or Ethan, felt a pang of guilt.
165. The life she lived so far now mingled with new responsibilities.
166. She took a deep breath.
167. "I need to figure this out," she whispered.
168. The sun began setting.
169. Shadows lengthened across the room.
170. She sat in silence.
171. Reflecting on both lives.
172. The transformation felt surreal.
173. Yet, everything was tangible.
174. She stood up.
175. "This is my life now," she accepted.
176. Walking back to the living room.
177. Finding solace in the familiar surroundings.
178. The roles may have changed.
179. But the essence remained.
180. Margaret proceeded, balancing the new life with old memories.

Stepping up, she looked down at her painted nails, still smiling. 122. Seeing her weight, she got self-conscious. "I need to lose weight to look good for my husband." 123. She confronted Lucas about the forged signature. 124. "Did you forge my signature? You’re grounded, no TV or games for a month," she reprimanded. 125. "But I didn't—" Lucas started. 126. "No excuses," she cut him off. "You know the rules." 127. She then called Ethan’s mom, Jenna. 128. "Hello, Jenna. This is Margaret," she began kindly. 129. "Your son tried to take his things back without permission!" she got stern. 130. "I don’t appreciate such behavior. You’ll need to speak with him," she continued aggressively. 131. After hanging up, she called her husband. 132. "I believe Lucas forged my signature," she explained sternly. 133. "I thought we raised him better than this, Robert!" addressing him by his first name. 134. "We need to deal with this, Honeybun," calling him a pet name. 135. Margaret ended the calls, still fuming about the forged signature. 136. Ethan, or rather, Margaret now, tried to make sense of everything. 137. Something seemed off, but the memories filled in the gaps. 138. She realized the permanence of her new state. 139. Walking to her vanity, Margaret sat down. 140. The face staring back was familiar but new. 141. Her hands traced her features, still astonished. 142. The life as Ethan was now distant. 143. She admired her manicure again. 144. The maroon polish still perfect. 145. Margaret sighed, a mix of acceptance and melancholy. 146. She clipped her sandals together. 147. "I do love these sandals," she said softly. 148. She walked back to Lucas's room. 149. "Now, what were you thinking?" she asked sternly. 150. Holding the report card, she gestured toward the grades. 151. "You can't just forge signatures to get out of trouble," she emphasized. 152. She handed Lucas the report card. 153. "No TV or games," she reaffirmed. 154. Lucas looked down, nodding. 155. Margaret turned to leave. 156. She walked with purpose, her sandals clip-clopping. 157. The transformation process still lingering in her mind. 158. Margaret paced the hallway. 159. Occasionally looking back at Lucas’s room. 160. She reached her own room, thinking of Ethan. 161. Flashes of Ethan’s memories came back. 162. Torn between identities, she sat on the bed. 163. The stolen things were where they belonged. 164. Margaret, or Ethan, felt a pang of guilt. 165. The life she lived so far now mingled with new responsibilities. 166. She took a deep breath. 167. "I need to figure this out," she whispered. 168. The sun began setting. 169. Shadows lengthened across the room. 170. She sat in silence. 171. Reflecting on both lives. 172. The transformation felt surreal. 173. Yet, everything was tangible. 174. She stood up. 175. "This is my life now," she accepted. 176. Walking back to the living room. 177. Finding solace in the familiar surroundings. 178. The roles may have changed. 179. But the essence remained. 180. Margaret proceeded, balancing the new life with old memories.
