“Jack, I've got something to tell you,” said Roy to his roommate.
“Hmmmmm?” replied Jack, with a mouth full of scrambled eggs.
“I'm not really Sarah,” said Roy. “I'm actually Roy.”
Jack raised an eyebrow and shot Roy a dirty look, but said nothing. He continued shoveling eggs into his mouth.
“I'm serious,” Roy insisted. “I am not Sarah. I'm Roy – your friend and roommate... and a guy.”
“Sarah, what the hell are you babbling on about?” said Jack with a tired, frustrated expression on his face.
Roy knew his roommate wasn't much of a Morning Person. Maybe this wasn't the best time to tell him this news. Oh well, thought Roy.
“It's this little gizmo,” Roy said, pulling out the high-tech gadget from Sarah's slacks. “I got this from a visitor from an alternate reality. A real, life, genuine parallel earth! He was an alternate version of me, a brilliant inventor in his own world. Anyhow, this device can switch around people's 'life roles,' whatever that means exactly. I've only experimented with it once – on me and Sarah. It zapped us into each other's clothes, and she wound up believing she was really me.”
“Did Roy put you up to this?” sighed Jack, turning his attention back to breakfast.
“I am Roy,” insisted Roy.
“Well, you still look just like Sarah to me,” mumbled Jack.
“Then perhaps a demonstration is in order,” said Roy, starting to pull out the device from his pocket.
“Sarah, I don't have time for this nonsense,” Jack said abruptly. “I've gotta get dressed and get to work. Thanks for breakfast. I'll see you later tonight after work.”
Jack stood up, kissed Roy on the lips, and then trudged off to his bedroom and began dressing.
“Of all the stupid, stubborn, idiotic morons,” grumbled Roy. “I try to let my best friend and roommate in on the most amazing device in the world and... ah, screw him!”
