Punks

The five boys had always been troublemakers in school. It did not surprise the teachers when they disappeared on the school trip, but it didn’t make any of them worry any less. A frantic search was started. But where had the boys gone? They had gotten lost and stumbled across a strange mansion. The old man inside said he would allow them to stay the night, and also told the police that he would call their parents or school as soon as possible. The boys told the man not to rush--they were enjoying their time with no authority figures around. They even had some plans to steal some of the man’s stuff and ducking out before morning. Of course, the old man had plans of his own. Before long, the boys all found themselves tied up in the basement. Each one was face-to-face with an Asian woman screaming something in a language none of them understood. The women were members of an all-girl Japanese punk band on tour, who had also gotten lost the night before. The man came down and hooked up a machine to the first boy facing the first woman. He did this down the line, and each time the machine would do the same thing--swap the bodies of the two subjects. The man had swapped the Japanese women’s bodies around the night before, so none of them were shocked that he now put them inside the bodies of the school boys, but the boys were completely surprised to find themselves in the bodies of the Japanese women. The old man smiled as the bodies of the school boys now screamed in Japanese. When he called the school, the teachers were puzzled by the fact that the ‘boys’ now seemed to not understand a word of English, resulting in years of counseling. Meanwhile, the boys in the bodies of the Japanese band enjoyed the thought of being on the road and free from authority. They decided to pick up the tour where the women left off, and try not to let anyone know who they really were...ever.
