“OK, Stu,” said Robert, casually wrapping up what had been so far a rather typical post-game interview, “Last question: How would you like being a 34-year-old reporter, barely making it by on his shitty job where all he does is interview ignorant muscleheads like yourself, who think they’re just so fucking great because they can go out there, look pretty, throw a ball around for a bit and get paid for it?”
“Uh –” said Stu, dumbfounded and looking to the camera crew for some sort of an explanation. They only stood there with their jaws dropped, “I’m sorry?”
“Yeah,” said Robert, “You’re about to be!”
Suddenly, Robert stood up from the locker room bench, dropping his microphone, and twisting a ring around on his finger. As he did so, the world around him stopped in place. Only he and Stu remained able to move, although Stu remained frozen on the bench in shock.
Without taking a second, Robert placed his hands on Stu’s smooth, muscular shoulders and grasped them tightly. He instantly felt Stu’s energy rushing into him and he laughed as his body began to reshape itself. At the same time, he delighted at the fact that he could see Stu’s athletic body melting away in front of his eyes, the tattoos becoming faint and his skin becoming pale and blemished. Stu’s gorgeous pecs caved in as Robert’s chest exploded with two perfect mounds of muscle. Robert’s abs etched themselves into a tight six-pack as Stu’s belly became skinny, but flabby. All the while, Robert was feeling younger, stronger, and more virile. He laughed and laughed and laughed.
Finally, he saw Stu’s handsome features start to rearrange themselves. He wanted so badly to let go and feel his masculine new face, but knew that he must hold on for a few moments longer. He felt his hair pull into his head, becoming a close buzzcut as Stu’s hair sprouted out into a nondescript, mousy brown mess. Feeling the last bit of Stu’s energy flow through his well-sculpted new arms, Robert knew it was time to let go.
He stood there in the locker room as Stu now, only dressed in a ridiculously tight suit that he was dying to get out of. He began stripping it off.
“Take off your underwear!” he said to the real Stu, “They’re mine now, and oh my god! I’m gonna look like a fuckin’ stud in ‘em! Get ‘em off! And then you’re gonna put on cheap-ass suit and pretend to be me, got it?”
Stu sat on the bench in disbelief, feeling completely drained and unable to speak. He saw his old body standing in front of him now in all of its perfect nudity. He felt he had no choice but to hand over his underwear. Dejectedly, he slipped them off of his scrawny waist and down his embarrassingly thin legs.
“That’s a good boy!” said Robert, picking the underwear up and giving them a sniff before putting them on, “You know, it’s a shame I have to cover this up!”
He grabbed his now larger cock in the front pouch of the underwear and kicked his old suit over towards the trembling Stu.
“Put it on!” he ordered.
Stu began to put on Robert’s clothes, if only so he didn’t have to be naked for a second longer in this body that was not his.
“You’re very good at taking orders, you know?” Robert said “You better get used to that now that you’re me. Getting run over all the time, being looked at like you’re some piece-of-shit loser.”
Stu finished putting on all of Robert’s clothes. The swap was complete. Smiling, Robert began to twist the ring on his finger again.
“Now, I’m going to start everything back up here. When the camera starts rolling, you’re going to thank me for the interview, and then I’m outta here. You got it? What you do after that, I could give a fuck about. Check the pocket in my jacket there, it’s got your new address on it. My PIN numbers, credit card info. Whatever, you can have it all. It’s yours now, so I hope you enjoy it. I know that I’m going to enjoy this very much.”
He smiled, looking down at his new body and giving the ring one final twist. The world spun back into motion. The camera crew stood around them, caught in the awkward moment that, to them, had only just happened.
“Uh –” said Stu, now the one holding the microphone and pointing it at the very handsome athlete seated next to him, “Uh – Thank you for the interview?”
“You’re welcome, Robert,” said the new Stu, getting up from his seat, “Any time. And uh – have fun, huh?”
He winked and gave an all too charming smile to the camera and then slipped off into the shower room just like a victorious young athlete, eager to celebrate with his team.
The real Stu just watched in terror as his teammates gathered around the impostor.
“Robert…?” said one of the cameramen, “Rob? You ok?”
“Um,” said Stu, when he realized they were talking to him, “I don’t know…”
“Well, let’s get you home, buddy,” said the cameraman, placing an arm around Stu’s shoulders, “It seems like you’re having a little bit of a rough day. Maybe we should just skip tonight’s game and let you rest a little bit. And, hey – Rob, don’t let those meatheads get to ya so much, huh?”
