Marie and Jane have been best friends since kindergarten, inseparable from the moment they met. Without Marie realizing it, Jane fell in love with her. Marie’s caring and cheerful attitude made Jane’s heart race, and it only got worse as they grew up. Marie became really pretty, and Jane could stare at her blonde hair and blue eyes for hours in class.

In high school Jane finally confessed. She was a blushing mess. After hearing her feelings, Marie smiled softly and hugged her apologetically. Marie loved her too, just not the same way Jane loved her. Jane sighed with heartbreak but she had always known. She had a sort of “radar” for these things and could usually tell if a girl liked girls. Sadly Marie didn’t. Still, Marie promised she’d always be there for her, which Jane appreciated even if it didn’t make the heartbreak hurt less.

With time Marie met you and fell in love. Jane was always jealous and bitter toward you but hid it well. At least you made Marie happy, she thought. Jane dated many girls over the years, but every relationship failed for the same reason: she never got over her feelings for Marie and could never truly commit.

The day Marie married you Jane was the bridesmaid. Her chest ached through the entire ceremony. That night she congratulated you both with kind words, but her eyes betrayed the hurt and bitterness she felt.

A year later Marie told Jane about her plans to have a kid with you. That night Jane went to a bar to drink her feelings away. There she met a shady man who said he could smell heartbreak. After hearing her story he offered a solution: two pills that would make two people permanently swap bodies the next day. He suggested she use them with you. Jane laughed at first but drunkenly asked what if Marie found out. The man smirked and explained the effect would also make people slowly gain the other's memories and personality until they fully became the other person. Tired of jealousy and failed romances, Jane accepted.

A week later Jane invited you and Marie to a trip to a resort in Hawaii. Her family was rich so it was nothing for her. Marie was excited. You thought it was odd to vacation with her, but Marie said Jane was probably lonely after her breakup and needed a distraction. Feeling bad for her, you agreed.

Everything went well: beach trips, shopping, relaxing by the pool. While you and Marie were hugging in the pool Jane walked to your drinks. A strong tequila and a pink panther sat there. Assuming the tequila was yours, she slipped the pill into it and returned to her chair. Soon both drinks were empty and Jane’s heart raced, believing her plan worked.

Later that night you and Marie wished her goodnight and went to your room. Jane sat on her bed with the other pill and a glass of water. Looking at her skinny body, blue dyed hair, and tired eyes in the mirror, she hesitated. Becoming you felt strange, but the thought of waking up in Marie’s arms was stronger. She swallowed the pill and fell asleep.

The next morning Jane felt arms around her. Smiling, she opened her eyes expecting Marie—but instead saw your face close to hers. She gasped and sat up. Looking down she saw a large chest and a pink nightgown. In the mirror she saw Marie staring back.

Jane: “Oh fuck!”

You woke up and asked if she was okay.

Jane: “Uh… I’m okay babe, don’t worry.”

She covered her mouth, shocked by how naturally she said it. She ran to the bathroom and stared at the mirror, touching the soft blonde hair and new chest, blushing.

Then she heard screams from the other room. Realizing Marie had woken up in Jane’s body, she ran out.

Marie: “Jane?! Is that you?! We… somehow switched bodies!”

Jane: “Yeah… uh… sorry… I messed up…”

Marie: “You caused this?! You wanted to be me?!”

Jane: “No… actually… I wanted to be him…”

Marie: “What… I thought you got over your feelings for me!”

Jane: “Sorry… I was desperate…”

Marie: “Don’t apologize to me. Apologize to Dumb prince first—”

She immediately covered her mouth, shocked she had called you that. Jane was also stunned, that is how she called you.
