Blind Date (Part 1)

I nervously walked into the dimly lit restaurant to meet my blind date that my friends had set me up with. The hostess brought me to the table, and I didn’t even get a word in before she said...

“I don’t think so. I don’t date slackers.”

I was about to tell her about the tech company that I had founded, but I didn’t get the chance. Of course, she didn’t get the chance to walk out so quickly either. It was at that moment the Great Shift struck. While we’d all come to learn the body swapping event affected the entire world, when it happened, I was much concerned that I was now in the body of my blind date.

I sat there dumbfounded. From my own body, she looked at me the same way. We sat down and talked. Some of it was weirdly typical first date stuff. I learned her name was Jennifer, and that she was a lawyer. Or I guess my name now was Jennifer? Some of it was much more focused on the issue at hand. She told me about things like her birth control pills, and how to properly take care of a woman’s body -- normally, I’d say that was information I didn’t need, but given the situation, I clearly did.
