You watch Amber run back into the house, leaving you alone in the shed. Taking this opportunity, you examine Dad's bodyswapping machine more closely. Aside from the two pods, the tops of each pod have a crown-like attachment to each other, reminding you of something like a Tesla coil. The pods are connected in the back via a fat cord to a large computer, with an LCD touchscreen display. You try to press a button on the screen, but an error sign flashes in bright blue neon that reads, "insufficient battery".
"Perhaps Dad still needs to work on the machine..." You think aloud, trying to get used to Amber's lighter-pitched voice. Oddly enough, there are no electric sockets in the shed, which makes you curious as to how the machine is powered.
As Mom, you had arrived home late in the afternoon, after Amber and Mike usually get home from school. It's darker outside now, and from the back window you can see Amber, in Mom's body, enjoyably making dinner. You laugh and decide to go inside to check on everyone.
Inside, you find that "mom" has been making dinner and talking nonstop about how she is so happy to be a supermodel to "Mike" is laying on the couch and watching TV, Dad is at his working desk in another room, writing notes and diagrams of some sort, and Ember is in her and Amber's bedroom, probably listening to music and working on homework.
All is as it should be... or mostly, at least!
"Well, I am Amber now... what should I do now?" You place one hand on your hip and flick hair out of your eyes with the other.
