"Can you tell me more about Phil Collins, he's younger and must be the easiest one." Max said.
The otherworldly being replied, "Phil is in the sixth grade and he is having trouble in math. He has several accounts of bullying but was never caught."
Max thought for a minute while casually looking at the other people he can choose. Jonathan is having a divorce and Max is not particularly fond of marital problems. Susan is good choice but being in a girl's body must be strange, like the menstruation thing. Andy is finding a job and Max is not sure if he's going to accomplish such hard task. Nancy was the number one nope. She is the last person in the world that Max will possess. Max saw pregnant women on MTV and it sure is a thing that he would likely to avoid.
"I choose Phil Collins. Sixth grade mathematics is easy compared to high school algebra." Max said.
"Are you sure?" The being asked.
"I'm sure, just one question. What happens to my body while I'm doing this helping thing of yours."
"It's being controlled by another person whose job is like yours. She is helping you to man up and propose to that girl you were having a crush on. What was her name? Yeah it's Caroline Williams."
"She? You mean a girl is controlling my body. Oh my God. I wish she will not do anything girly to my body."
"Enough talk, I'll bring you to your job now."
The being of light muttered words that are strange to Max. It raised it's hand and drew runes in the air. Max watched in wonder as the runes glowed and floated in air. The being's voice rang in the hot afternoon air, periodically echoing. The echoing voice suddenly stopped. The runes glued itself to Max and it carried him towards east. The runes carried him at an intense speed. They stopped over a house and Max was thrown to the ground.
For another time, Max heard the being's voice again. "Max, I forgot to say that you'll forget all the things you learned in your school, including math. But don't worry, it will be replaced by Phil's knowledge. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"Fuck!" Max felt all his knowledge about math vanish one by one. Fractions, exponents, algebra all gone from his mind except for the remaining knowledge like basic math. Once all his knowledge was replaced, Max felt disoriented gradually falling back to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max woke up at the sound of an alarm. "The alarm's ring was off by a pitch, strange" Max thought. He reached his hand to the left and searched for the annoying alarm clock. He found empty space as he reached all the areas in his left side. "I don't remember moving my alarm clock and shit! My blankets so comfortable."
Max opened his eyes and found himself in a different room. It was bigger, a lot bigger. It has a large flat screen TV, a high end gaming computer at the corner, football posters everywhere and other 12 year old stuff. A head ache hit Max and memories of him with the otherworldly being returned. He touched his head and felt a silken hair at the top. It was smooth as silk, his hands freely sliding as he tried to comb Phil's hair or his hair. He turned to his right and pressed the off button of the solid gold alarm clock that was saying 3:30 A.M. Max looked again at the alarm clock. Solid gold! This boy must be rich. "I wonder how this boy looks." Max jumped out of his bed and searched for the bathroom. Lucky for Max, the bedroom has its own private bathroom.
The bathroom was huge, insanely huge. His old bathroom could fit in here 10 times more and it will still leave a few space behind. Max walked towards the ridiculously gigantic mirror near the ridiculously same large sink. For the first time Max saw his body that he shall have for two weeks or what the strange guy said. His hair was gold and shines as he angled it towards the light. The face was cute as fuck. "If I had a face like this when I was young, Caroline might be the one who's having a crush on me." His body is neither thin nor it is fat but it's normal by everyday standards.
A speaker near the door lit up with a light of red and a sound of a broken radio. A voice with an english accent was heard. "Master Phil, I see that you are awake and at the bathroom. Would you like me to prepare a morning bath?"
"Must be the butler." Max thought
A morning bath would be nice but someone preparing you bath is entirely alien to Max. "That would be nice but I'll be the one preparing my bath."
The sound of static was heard again and the soon followed by the same voice. "Master Phil, are you sure? This is the first time I heard you say that. Your father might disagree with this."
"How lazy could this kid get and how would my father disagree with me taking my own bath."
"I can do it by myself and thanks for the concern." Max finally said. Afterwards, the voice did not came back again.
Max walked towards the bathtub which was at the far side of the bathroom. Tons of bottles and candles surrounded the bathtub. Scents of all kinds, labeled the bottles. Coconut, Cinnamon, Vanilla were one of the tens or a hundred labeled scents in the neatly stacked containers beside the tub.
Afterwards something happened? What was it?
