This choice: Take Mrs Reed's car for a spin. • Go Back...Chapter #4Take Mrs Reed's car for a spin. by: IKANTRYT   Becoming ever more uncertain that what he was experiencing was a dream, Billy nevertheless decided to take advantage of his sudden adulthood and try something he wanted to do for years. He wanted to drive a car. The car door had already been unlocked remotely with the key fob so it was only a matter of reaching for the door handle with his newly acquired hand (making sure not to chip a nail strangely enough) and to awkwardly seat himself in the drivers seat. Billy also had the presence of mind to take Mrs Reed’s heels along, placing them next to his purse on the passenger seat. The seat was already adjusted for his new body, although Billy did take quite a lot of time making sure the seatbelt was resting between his breasts just right. His eyes wandered to his cleavage and he adjusted the silken fabric to get a better look at his red lace bra, making his nether region twitch unexpectedly. He smoothed over his skirt, noticing a smooth crotch that had a...glowy, feeling to it. “Enough stalling!” He told himself “Time to go home.” And with that he pressed the ignition switch.
Billy wasn’t completely ignorant, nor unskilled when it came to driving. He watched his parents intently whenever they drove and he was a wiz in the driving simulation games at the arcade. His hand eye coordination was excellent. Still, he never drove an actual car and just backing up had him nearly hit another car passing behind him. Billy held his head (with Mrs Reed’s hands) for a few moments before again setting off to drive to his place. The car felt both sluggish and too powerful at the same time. Billy now learned to look everywhere as much as possible and found himself hitting the brakes a little too often and hard for his comfort, but he was quickly getting the hang of driving. He’d occasionally catch a glance of his own astonished face in the rear view mirror as well, noting that he still looked like himself. Before he knew it, he was home.
Unstrapping himself, Billy slowly got out of Mrs Reed’s car. His mind raced with the events of the last few hours. He did not look forward to all the attention he was about to get. Maybe the entire Earth was about to go to war with the aliens that did this to him. Maybe he should ...”OUCH!” He cried when he noticed he stepped on one of David’s matchbox cars with Mrs Reed’s dainty foot. The pantyhose did not offer enough protection to foreign objects. He quickly returned to the car and put Mrs Reed’s heels back on. Practicing a few steps, Billy felt he was on his way to mastering the odd skill. Clutching his purse, he let out a sigh, clicked over to the front door and was about to ring it when suddenly his mother opened it.
“Mrs Reed, what a pleasant surprise!” She said breathlessly, “Billy wandered off into the woods without telling me. “Would you be a dear and watch David for the next few minutes while I find Billy? “Thank-you-so-much. “Berightback!” And with that Emily Lewis, wearing her tan pencil skirt, black cardigan over a white turtleneck and black flats rushed to the backyard clutching her smartphone.
Billy just stood there, stunned, not being able to get a word out other than “B-Bu-But... “I-I-I...” Now left wondering what she actually saw just then. Did she always think Mrs Reed had the head of a boy identical to her sons? And what would she do with the alien with his body if she actually found him? More importantly, what would they do with her?
His thoughts were interrupted by his little brother David. “Hello Debbie’s mommy.” He said.
Billy snapped, “How many times I gotta tell ya it’s Mrs Reed you little doofus!” Giving his little brother his patented angry look.
“I.. I’m sorry Deb... I mean, Mrs Reed. “Why are you talking like my brother? “Mommy’s real mad at him for going into the woods without telling her an’ not eating breakfast.” The little boy said in his red shorts and Spider-Man T-shirt. David had unkempt blond hair, which contrasted with Billy’s brown mop. David also sported freckles which Billy didn’t have. Once his parents referred to him as “David the Menace” to which they both laughed. Billy didn’t get it, but he never stopped using the joke whenever he did something he didn’t like.
Billy sighed, “Look David, this is going to be hard to believe. “I’m still hoping it’s a nightmare I’ll wake up from any second now, but I’m Billy, trapped on Mrs Reed’s body. “A spaceship landed in the field behind the forest last night. “They did something to me, stole my body, made me a walking head and a while ago I accidentally stole Mrs Reed’s body.”
David listened to Billy’s tale with open-mouthed, wide-eyed astonishment. “That must be fun!” The little boy said.
Now it was Billy’s turn to be astonished. David was young, he was going to turn six next week while they were in Disneyland. So great, David accepts his story, but he doesn’t grasp how important this is that Earth is being invaded by aliens. To him it was all fun and games. “Don’t you get it? “There are aliens in our neighbourhood and mom is out there looking for my body, which one of them has! “This is serious!”
David was still curious. “How did they switch your bodies?”
Anger was starting to rise in Billy, but he tried to explain. “They stuck something like a needle in my neck, then my head grew tentacles and simply walked off my shoulders. “Later I climbed onto Mrs Reed’s body and made her head disappear while I took over. “Look, I think we should go outside and get mom before the aliens do.”
David still found the tale too mesmerizing and had to ask a stupid question, “Do you think the aliens will let me be a grownup too if we ask?”
Billy’s anger boiled over, ”This isn’t some game you little dweeb! “Aliens are messing with us!”. And he wanted to grab his brother and knock some sense into him, but instead his head detached from Mrs Reed’s body. He was about to climb onto David’s head when he stopped, looked at one of his tentacles, and jabbed it into his brother’s neck. “Wh... what did I just do?” He asked himself.
David, who gained a blank expression on his face as soon as Billy detached himself, became lucid again a few seconds later. “Billy! “You’re nothing but a walking head!” He said, while then being distracted by another head bubbling up from Mrs Reed’s neck.
“Great! “Mrs Reed’s coming back and I’m still missing my own body.” Billy said nervously while the blob on Mrs Reed’s neck assumed more human features until it once again looked like... Billy!
“What just happened? “Why are there now two of me? “I thought I just left Mrs Reed’s body.” The other Billy/Mrs Reed said clicking over to the mirror to confirm that s/he was still Billy.
“You don’t think you’re Mrs Reed?” Billy Prime asked his copy uncertainly.
“No I... wait a minute. “It’s like remembering a tv show. “I can think of stuff she did if I really think about it, but I’m still me, Billy!”
“Oh that looks like fun!” David said suddenly, and to both Billy’s surprise, clambered off his shoulders onto Billy/Mrs Reed head where his tentacles worked their way around his/her neck, once again turning it into a jelly like state that was absorbed into the neck while David assumed control of the body. “Look Billy, I’m a grownup Lady now too!” As he groped and alternately stared at his reflection in the hall mirror assuming awkward poses.
Billy was initially too astonished to move, but then he noticed his brother’s headless body gently swaying there and thought it was better than nothing. “Listen you little dork.” He said after taking control of David’s body, “You’re not helping! “Now we’re going to have to... and the front door opened letting in their mother.
“Thank you Mrs Reed. “I hope he hasn’t been too much trouble.” She said looking at Billy.
“Um, mom, you still think that’s Mrs Reed over there?” Billy asked his mother.
“Now what kind of a silly question is that David?” She said glancing at Billy, “Now go to your room while we try to contact some more people to look for your irresponsible brother.” To which David laughed and... once again to Billy’s astonishment, detached his head from Mrs Reed’s body only to clamber onto his mother’s head (who seemed to be struck by some kind of daze the moment the head started separating). In moments David was laughing atop his mother’s body, joined moments later by Mrs Reed’s body, which was now sporting a copy of David’s head. This day just kept getting crazier.
Before Billy could attempt to restore some order, he heard a car pull up to the driveway behind Mrs Reed’s car. It was a police cruiser, one that happened to be driven by his aunt. No doubt his mother had called Aunt Michelle to help with the search of himself. This was not going well. Over the inane chatter of his little brother talking to himself, his aunt approached the door at the same time his father’s car turned a corner down the street. “Can this get any worse?” Billy asked himself.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
