9/2/99 SRU: A Walk in the Mall By Bashful Lenny was slowly walking through the mall, not knowing what he was looking for. He wasn't sure his life could get much worse than it was. He was hoping he would see something that would shake him out of his depression and cheer him up. That's when he saw the little shop. It was strange looking to be in a mall. It had an old fashion wooden door and the display windows were full of strange looking bottles and boxes, filled with stranger looking potions and powders. The sign read 'Spells R Us'. The store hadn't been there just two days ago when Lenny was last at the mall, he was sure. As he stared at the store, a pretty woman came out. She was shaking her head as if confused but she was smiling. She walked in a funny way, as if she wasn't used to walking in the 3 inch heels she was wearing. Lenny watched her walk off. Her walk improved until she was gently swaying, side to side, like any other normal, attractive woman. Lenny opened the door and walked inside. Over his head he heard a little brass bell tinkle as the door closed behind him. Lenny gazed around him. The store was much larger on the inside than it appeared from the mall. There were shelves full of books, boxes, objects and bottles. A clothing rack held a wide assortment of costumes. Asleep on a rug, in front of the register, was a wolf, a very large wolf. Lenny stopped and wondered if leaving would be a good idea. A voice from the back of the shop called out. "She won't bite you Lenny, you don't need to leave." "Who's there, how do you know my name and that I was thinking of leaving." Lenny said. On old man, wearing an old blue bath robe(?) came out of the backroom walking toward Lenny. "I'm a wizard, Lenny, that's how I know. I am a practitioner of magic, in other words. I know what I need to know to help out my customers, like Mr. Johnson, who just left. I knew what he needed and sold it to him. He looked pretty and happy as he left, didn't you think?" The Wizard asked. "I didn't see a man leave here, just a young, good looking, woman." "Yes, Mr. Johnson, although he will probably change his name now, Harry really doesn't fit anymore. I believe what you want is along the same lines as Mr. Johnson, isn't it Lenny?" The old man said. He phrased it as a question but it was clearly a statement. Lenny knew he was in the right place. He felt it deep inside. "I want to be a woman, but not like the one that just left here, I want swap bodies with my wife, Diane." Lenny said. The old man nodded his head, this was not exactly what he was planning to do but the customer is always right, until they are wrong, was his motto. "Have you discussed this with her Lenny? Are you sure this is what she wants to do?" The wizard asked. "Not at first, she didn't like the idea. Then one day, a few weeks ago, she told me she was interested in the idea. She got me to talk about it more and more. We knew it was impossible, at least we thought it was, but she told me that talking about it would help us work through it. She asked if I wanted to change my sex and I admitted that I did. The problem with that is I would just look like a woman. I want to be a real woman, even if it's just for a little while. I was real depressed before coming in here because I thought my dream was just that, a dream. Are you saying you could help me and my wife trade bodies?" "If that's what you really want and you're sure your wife wants it too?" The old man said. "It is, just this morning she told me she wanted me to be happy, no matter what the cost to her." Lenny said. "Very well," the Wizard said. He reached under the counter and pulled out an old wooden box with a lid on it. He opened the lid and lifted out two vials. One held a blue liquid and the other held a green one. "The blue liquid will cause your...persona's, for want of a better term, to trade bodies. You will instantly find yourself in your wife's body and she will be in yours. Make sure you are either next to each other or at least that you are both stationary. The transition can be momentarily disorientating. It would be a bad idea to trade while one of you is driving a car, for instance. The green liquid will reverse the process. Lenny, this is magic, the rules are strict. Only this green vial will cause you to return to your body so do not lose it. If you do, you are stuck." "Do we have to be touching to change bodies? I mean, how does the magic know who I want to change with?" Lenny asked. "That's up to you. There is no distance this will not work over. You must clear your mind of everyone except your wife. Just think of her solely before drinking the blue potion. It's not difficult. Switching back is just a matter of drinking the green potion, the magic reverses the spell. Either of you may drink the green potion to return." said the Wizard. "How much for both?" "Ten dollars." "Ten dollars? That's not much for such a powerful spell, it seems to me." Lenny said. "I'm having a sale, besides that's all you have on you right now." The Wizard said. Lenny checked his wallet and found out the old man was right. Diane must have raided his wallet this morning. He handed the ten dollar bill to the old man who handed him the two vials in a sack. "Now remember, make sure you are both in a safe place before you drink the potion." The wizard warned Lenny. "No problem, thanks old man, maybe I'll see you again." Lenny said as he walked out the door. "Not likely Lenny, not likely at all." the old man said out loud. The wolf raised her head and looked at the Wizard, whining briefly. "It's what he wants to do, and the customer is always right, until they're wrong." the Wizard said to the wolf. She laid her head down between her paws and sighed deeply. Lenny stopped at the pay phone and called home. His wife answered. "Hi Diane, just wondered what you were up to." Lenny said. "Oh hi Lenny, I'm just cleaning up, doing laundry, housewife things. You know, the drudge you would inherit if we switched bodies." Diane said with a chuckle. "I know, I won't be home for a while, I have some things to do, then I have a big surprise for you." Lenny said. "Tell me now." Diane commanded, she hated waiting. "Nope, I want to see your face. I'll see you in a while, could be three or four hours." Lenny said. They said goodbye and Lenny headed for the car. Sometime later, Lenny returned the kiss he had just been given. Diane's body was fantastic. The sensations were so intense and different. It was his body now, his breasts that were being sucked and kissed. His neck being nibbled on. His dripping wet slit being entered by a stiff male member. Lenny climaxed twice before he felt the injection of hot seed deep in his belly for the first time. He came for the third time right after that. "Wow, that was fantastic, I've needed that for a long time." Lenny/Diane said. "Uh? We just did it yesterday, what do you mean?" Vince said. "Nothing lover, just thinking out loud. You better get going, Lenny may be here soon." Lenny/Diane said. "Yeah, I hate coming and going like this babe, when are you getting him kicked out of the house?" "Soon Vince, very soon. You better get going, catching you here like this won't be good for the divorce, now will it?" Lenny/Diane said. Vince dressed, kissed the person he thought was Diane goodbye and left. Ten minutes later, Lenny's body came storming into the house, yelling out Lenny's name. "Lenny, are you in my body? What happened to us. How did we change bodies?" Diane/Lenny asked. "Why yes, dear, it's me. We talked about this so much lately, when the opportunity to trade our persona's came up, I jumped at it. This is what we talked about, isn't it?" Lenny/Diane said. "Lenny, you should have asked me first. How did you do this?" Diane/Lenny said. Lenny /Diane explained about the old man in the mall and the two vials. He told her how he called and made sure she was at home and then drove to the far side of town and thought only of her and drank the blue vial. "Uh, Lenny, were you alone when you were in my body?" Diane/Lenny asked. "No dear, Vince was here and he is some kind of man, isn't he? I can see why you started screwing him behind my back. I'm sure I was never that good a lover. Now though, you know what a woman likes, you can probably improve my performance." Lenny/Diane said. "Lenny, I didn't see any vials in the car with green liquid. Just an empty one, it was in my hand when I opened my eyes." Diane/Lenny said. "That's right. I poured the green one out and threw it away before I drank the blue one." the new Diane said. "That means we're stuck this way? I 'm Lenny for life?" The new Lenny shouted. "You may think of it as stuck, I think of it as a win, Lenny. You need to leave before I call the police. The lawyer sent the restraining order yesterday. You can't be within 100 yards of the house or me. The lawyer's secretary made a mistake and just sent it in a regular envelope. I opened it thinking it was about that accident last year. The divorce papers will be served on you later this week." The new Diane said. "All the times we talked about switching bodies, which you recorded. Add to it Vince's skill as a digital recording editor and it was so easy to prove extreme mental distress, just as you planned. If you want to tell anyone about our switching bodies, then go ahead. They'll be glad to lock you up for your own good." "Nice try, 'Lenny', but you lose. Make sure to send the alimony checks on time, I won't be able to let Vince move in until after the divorce is final. I'm sure he'll continue to make sure I'm satisfied in the meanwhile. It was so nice of you to arrange for my physical pleasure in your scheme, Vince seems like a nice young man." Diane said smiling all the while. Dazed, the new Lenny left, hoping he could find the little shop in the mall. Of course, he never did. After he left, Diane got up, showered and put on a short dress and heels. Vince was a nice guy and she needed him for awhile longer, but she was going to interview possible replacements. "I guess a walk in the mall was a good idea after all, it did cheer me up." Diane thought to herself. The End.
