Eugene was terrified when he looked down. It was only two days before his high school graduation and he had somehow swapped bodies with Ayumi, the Japanese foreign exchange student. He had hoped it was a bad dream, but after waking up the next morning he knew it was all too real. Confronting Ayumi in his old body, she admitted to causing the swap, but she just wanted to be a real American for another day, just until after graduation; then they could swap back. Eugene reluctantly agreed. He hated having to wear a dress under the graduation gown and Ayumi's body felt so small and weak; he was fiddling during the entire ceremony. After it was done he tried to find Ayumi about swapping back, but was blocked by her exchange family claiming to have a surprise. Ayumi's parents had shown up, and they were ready to take her back to Japan right now! Apparently she had been sending letters home about how homesick she was! Within minutes Eugene was in a car with Ayumi's parents on their way to the airport to take a plane back to Japan. Eugene wondered if she had planned this as a way to steal his body forever...
Eugene will only see the real cause that Ayumi had switched bodies with him when he will arrive in Japan with his new family since Ayumi's father has arranged a her being married with his best friend's son.
