The Role Exchanger: Office Christmas Party - Part One

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Role Exchanger drifted through the Eastern Way Industrial Estate on a cold winter’s night’s night, its blue light perfectly aligning with the clear sky. The estate was clear but for a few office blocks with their lights still on. One such office was that of Albert and Co Plumbing Supplies. Gerald Albert had just finished his latest report to the shareholders and had bid goodnight to trusty George, the security guard. They both remarked at how clear the sky was and that there appeared to be a strange blue light up there for just a second. Gerald stepped into his jaguar and immediately the CD player started up with his chosen disc of Beethovan’s finest symphonies but strangely he didn’t feel in the mood tonight. No, the music was boring him. He needed something with a good beat, something you could sing along to, so he switched on the radio and settled on Rock Radio as Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell screeched out at him. He smiled and started to drive away pondering that night’s entertainment. For some reason the planned documentary he had recorded on Canadian Beavers didn’t strike him interesting enough, thinking of the word ‘beaver’ actually made him snigger a little like a schoolboy. Perhaps something with a little more action like a good Stallone or Van Damme movie. Not that he had seen any of course but he knew he could stop off at a petrol garage and pick some up cheaply. By coincidence George, a well known rock fan, couldn’t get Beethoven’s ninth symphony out of his head after hearing a small snatch of music from his boss’s car and on his next break Classic FM will be heard emanating from his security hut.

The Role Exchanger would be long gone by the time that happened though as the alien entity drifted on through the near desolate industrial estate. One block had its lights on and music blaring out however as J.R Murdoch Ltd was having its annual office Christmas party. Attracted by the signs of life, the Role Exchanger took a detour and headed straight for the offices. It managed to sneak in behind sales manager, Steve Roberts who was looking forward to letting down his hair for the night. Dressed in a red shirt and black trousers he marched over to grab some of the buffet. Taking a plate from the pile stood Lucy Rogers dressed in a patterned purple top and knee length black skirt with her long brown hair flowing down her shoulders. She normally dressed all in black with her hair tied in a bun but now it looked like she had relaxed a little for the party and Steve was attracted by this new side of her. He immediately made a beeline for her and started to chat as they lined up to collect their food. Lucy then noticed that the lights were a little bright and Steve agreed. There had been an odd blue light shining ever since he walked in.

Suddenly Steve felt an odd tingle ripple through his body and without thinking grabbed the belt of his trousers as they were about to fall. His hand was now smaller and more feminine with long nails. The rest of his body had changed accordingly and his new slender frame was unable to keep up his trousers while his red shirt hung loosely around his shoulders with his new breasts barely making themselves known. As his new, long brown hair draped over his shoulders, he looked like a woman who had just awoken from a night of passion and put on her boyfriend’s shirt. Steve had also lost a couple of inches of height while it looked like Lucy had gained it. “What the fuck has happened to us!” he exclaimed. “I don’t know,” she replied having just also gained a fully male body. Her hair had shortened into a new style and her breasts had disappeared into rock hard pecs. Unfortunately her clothes were unable to take the strain of her new muscley body and had begun to tear. She immediately took off her heels as they had begun to dig into her new, bigger feet. A large and noticeable bulge also appeared in her skirt. “We have to get out of here,” she added.

Luckily at that moment a distraction was provided as Nayla, one of the secretaries, let out a scream as she suddenly aged over 30 years. Entering the party as a 28 year old, she was now in her late 50s having traded ages with the now young looking senior manager Herbert. Steve took advantage of the commotion and noticed that one of the offices were free. He grabbed Lucy’s hand to drag her in but could no longer move her and in fact his shoes kept slipping off his new feminine feet. Luckily Lucy saw what he was trying to do and dragged him in there herself. It gave her quite a rush to be the strong one for once. Inside the empty office both began to strip off as the changes their bodies had gone through had negated any nervousness at their nudity. It was now perfectly clear that they had both switched gender. Steve suggested they switch clothes and leave quietly and Lucy agreed. As she pulled on his boxers, jeans and shirt, he started puzzling how to put on her clothes. She laughed (her giggle now a manly chuckle) and helped him with his new bra and suggested how to put on her tights as well as helping him into her heels. At least their swap had left them with roughly the same clothes size as each other. Steve felt frustrated by his new stature while Lucy began to enjoy hers.

As they opened the door, intending to make a quick run to their cars, they felt enticed by the music. Everyone else seemed to be in disarray as well as it was clear that more changes had taken place. Lucy felt more confident now and was just itching to see what her new body could do – and who had suddenly given her a boner. Steve decided to stay for a few drinks. Perhaps he would be in a better place to charm the boss. Unfortunately his new gender also made him a target for some of the more drunken men in the office and their endless supply of mistletoe.

Natalie and Tim were talking in the corner. Tim put down his drink and headed for the door. “Back in a minute, just going for a smoke,” he said as she sighed. They had been going out for 6 months now and one of the only things they disagreed on was his smoking. “I told you, you should get one of those vape things,” she replied. “Nothing like the real thing,” he added. “Well, enjoy the rain,” she smiled as a blue light caught her eye. “I won’t,” he said, walking down the stairs. The lingering smoke from Tim’s jacket, now resting on the back of the chair suddenly set something off in Natalie. Usually she found it a turn off, it used to get right up her nose, but now there was something so warm and familiar about it. She grabbed the jacket, put it around her shoulders and headed outside after Tim.


Sheltering from the rain, Tim just about got his cigarette lit but started coughing as the disgusting taste spread throughout his mouth. It can’t be the brand he always bought the same? Why was the taste so terrible? How had he managed to smoke this much for the last ten years? Suddenly Natalie appeared from behind him. “Say, um, maybe I ought to try one. I never have before,” she said meekly. “Here, knock yourself out,” Tim sighed, passing her his still burning cigarette. He felt frustrated and smoking was supposed to relieve that but perhaps he was better off without it. Natalie seemed to be enjoying it though and indeed it felt like a comfortable old habit to her. This was great; all her frustrations seemed to drift away. What hadn’t she been doing this before? “I think I’m going back inside and get some food, are you coming?” Tim asked. “Actually I might stay for another,” she replied, already thinking of nipping to one of the nearby shops for her own pack. “ Here you go,” he said, pressing his half empty pack and lighter into her hand. “Enjoy the rain,” he added, heading inside.
