You,Me and Very Illigal Body Swap!!
Episode 4 – “You Move So Weird in My Body”
Lira (in Cade’s tall, heavy body) paces near the café, nearly bumping into a table. Again.
She’s tried walking slower.
It doesn’t help. Her legs keep going long-distance mode.
Also, how do guys not overheat in hoodies?
Then—
Across the street, someone waves. Awkwardly.
It’s her. Her actual body.
Jogging a little.
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
(too loudly, grinning)
“Yo! Finally!”
Lira stares.
Because Cade — a full grown man in her body — just bro-fisted a pigeon off the railing and then plopped onto a chair like he owns the café.
Cade throne (Female soul)
(stiffly)
“Are you seriously manspreading in my body right now?”
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
“I don’t know how to sit any other way. This body’s not built for crossing legs.”
Cade throne (Female soul)
“You’re sitting like you’re in a locker room.”
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
“And you’re walking like you’re stuck in airplane turbulence.”
Lira glares. Cade smirks.
They both sit across from each other. Sort of.
Lira keeps knocking her knee into the table. Cade keeps flipping her hair like he’s in a shampoo ad.
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
(looking at his own face)
“Okay. This is honestly trippy. My body looks like it hasn’t slept in days.”
Cade throne (Female soul)
“That's because I haven’t. Your body is like a walking slab of muscle and stress. Do you eat anything other than black coffee and bottled guilt?”
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
“Did you just insult me in my own face?”
Lira doesn’t reply.
She’s too busy looking down at her — or rather, his — hands. Long fingers. Heavy wrists.
None of it feels like hers.
And still, she clenches them when she’s nervous. Like always.
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
“You do that too?”
Cade throne (Female soul)
(quietly)
“I guess some things come with us. Even when the body doesn’t.”
Silence.
For a second, it’s not funny anymore.
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
(softly)
“We really swapped.”
Cade throne (Female soul)
“Yeah.”
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
“And we don’t know how… or for how long.”
Cade throne (Female soul)
(swallows hard)
“…What if we’re stuck like this?”
A pause.
He doesn’t answer.
And she doesn’t push.
Because neither of them wants to admit they’re scared.
So instead, they hide it behind the only thing they know:
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
“You want half my sandwich
Cade throne (Female soul)
“You’ve been in my body for five hours and you’re already eating carbs?”
Lira Wren (Male Soul)
(grinning)
“Absolutely.”
She takes the sandwich anyway.
They sit there, sharing food like strangers in the same storm.

Sooo...🌀 End of Episode 4
They met. They argued.
They shared a sandwich.
It’s not normal.
But it’s a start.
Bieee!!!
