Private Plane


Keiko adjusted the cufflinks before taking a deep breath, “I’m not sure I can do this, Mr. Phelps.”

Anthony Phelps let out a sigh of his own before giving his reply, “I don’t know how we swapped bodies while going through that turbulence up there, Keiko, but if I don’t show up to that investors’ meeting, my company is sunk. Thousands of people will be out of jobs. They shouldn’t ask any questions, just repeat what we practiced. Once it’s over, come right back to the private plane. We’ll fly a direct reverse course and hopefully hit the phenomenon again in reverse. Hopefully, then we’ll swap back.”

“But what if I mess up the speech? What if we don’t swap back on the return trip?”

“You’ll do fine. You can pull of being me; I’m sure of it. And if we don’t swap back, then you’re just going to have to get used to giving more speeches that we practice together...”
