Once upon a time, two 15-year old boys named Reed and Mike were living in the same town. Reed was a chubby teenager with pale skin, short red hair and bedazzled with acne, dressing himself in basic clothes with jeans and wearing gray briefs from Hanes. In contrast, Mike was a heartthrob in town. With his tanned skin, long blonde hair, and designer outfits, he was a sight to behold. He always wore flashy boxers and seemed to have an unlimited supply of swagger. Mike was dating Lauren, the prettiest girl in school, filling Reed with envy and admiration. Reed had cultivated a massive crush on her, but each time he tried expressing his feelings, he was harshly rejected. Mike, knowing about Reed's feelings for his girlfriend, approached him one day and warned Reed to stay away from Lauren. Filled with frustration and a sense of injustice, Reed decided to resort to a rather extreme solution. Unknown to many, Reed held a fascination for the occult and had mastered a few spells. With the vision of switching bodies with Mike, he invoked a powerful incantation. As the words left his mouth, a pulse shot through the air, and Reed and Mike collapsed on the spot. When they woke up, they were astonished. Reed, now inside Mike's tanned, athletic body, looked at his hands in disbelief while Mike, trapped in Reed's chubby, blemished body, was horrified at the transformation. The first thing that Mike, in Reed's body, did was to seek out Lauren. Yearning for the familiar comfort of her embrace, he approached her but was met with a slap. Lauren found Reed's body trying to hug her completely inappropriate and unacceptable. Not knowing how to react, Mike was left stunned, still trying to process what was happening. Meanwhile, Reed, in Mike's body, visited Lauren. Using the familiarity he had always craved, Reed wrapped his arm around Lauren, warning Mike to stay away from ‘his’ girl. Despite initially being surprised at the sudden affection from Mike, Lauren seemed to appreciate his new, respectful approach. The boys' lives had been completely turned around, and it was to see who would cope better with the new circumstances. Only time would tell if they would ever be able to switch back or be forced to live out their lives in each other's bodies. Reed, now in Mike's body, enjoyed the popularity and admiration he gathered. However, he also felt sorry for Mike, who now experienced the life he had lived for years. He wondered if they had both learned something valuable from this turn of events.
