Avril's scrolling eventually came to a halt as she seemed to contemplate an idea, and you could see on her face a battle between hesitation and excitement, while you tried to deduce which of the visible options were tempting her. Then, her finger touched 'Body', and dragged it across, turning her and Harold's images into each other wearing each other's clothes. Your eyes widened, not just at the sights of them in each other's clothes, but at how Avril evidently wanted to have Harold's body, which... didn't exactly appeal to you. She then looked at you with a slightly excited, slightly embarrassed expression, but then turned back to the display as she quickly scrolled until she swapped over the 'Face' option, before rushing to swap the 'Clothes' option, essentially having their faces and minds put onto each other's bodies, which was rather strange to look at.
"...I think 'hair' was an option," you said with an awkward giggle you shared. "But... why?"
"Well, um..." Avril paused, a little embarrassed, yet smiling. "When you're a girl like me, you have to spend a lot of time worrying about how you look and appearances, which he clearly doesn't. On that note..." Avril then scrolled through the list before swapping 'Makeup' over. Their faces now looked a little more appropriate to the rest of them, though still opposites in both gender and age.
"But does that need to mean the whole body?" you asked.
"That includes keeping your weight in check," Avril said. "With that... he's essentially broken every rule about appearance I follow, besides hygiene, so all the ones I'm comfortable not having to follow for a little while, and I think you can understand wanting to swap with someone of the opposite sex." By now, she had gotten a little more confident in her idea.
"That's... true," you said. On the one hand, you were very happy to see your girlfriend enjoying this power you chose to share with her, but on the other... her becoming more or less a fat, middle-aged man seemed a little much for you. Her face, even without makeup, slightly eased your concerns, but you couldn't help the kinds of bodies that you were or weren't attracted to.
"I, um, don't have to do this if you're not sure on it, I understand," she blurted out, looking a little more embarrassed as you focused on her again. "Maybe I can think of a smaller swap? I-it does seem a little daunting to me too..."
"No, no, it's alright!" You tried to reassure her. "It's great to see you getting into this, really, and I want you to pick what you want to swap, but... It's just that I can't help what-" As you were about to say what you were thinking, an idea dawned on you.
"What is it?"
"I was about to say that I just can't help what I'm attracted to, but..." You looked on the display, contemplatively, and paused for a moment. "I mean," you trusted Avril to know what you were saying. "swapping mental stuff might be... much, but if I'm swapping with Tiffany, and she was happy with Harold's body..." Avril seemed to be thinking about it.
"...I don't know. I know you're suggesting it, but it feels like trying to... force you to like it? And that just feels... wrong. I'm not sure if I should do a swap this extreme now..."
"I understand, but if it helps, the more I think about it, I do want to see if that remote can make me okay with, uh, this. If not, then I'll at least be happy that you're happy, and you'll still have your face and voice." For the next moment, she thought about what you said, but the longer she did, the more her expression went from contemplation to just confusion.
"...Will I still have my voice? I'm pretty sure vocal chords swapped."
"Oh! Yeah, I just kinda looked at the picture and imagined your voice coming out," you chuckled, which Avril shared.
"I'll swap that, just in case." True to her word, Avril flicked through the list to find something.
"So, you're going with this swap?" you said.
"Well..." Avril paused as she swapped over a trait labeled 'Voice'. "I kind of want to, but I'm not sure, because it feels like you'll either not like it or I'll have to make you like it, and that doesn't really sit right."
"Is it really so bad if I want you to make me? We are here to swap, after all."
"I suppose not," Avril reasoned, as she then thought about it, and so did you. Admittedly, a part of you did feel like Avril might have gone a little too far for this first swap and the idea of changing yourself mentally also worried you, but you still knew this was what she really wanted, and you did tell the truth just now, being slightly curious about just making that discomfort disappear, possibly even being attracted to it - you weren't sure if Tiffany just didn't mind, or was actually into Harold's body, but then that was just an enticing element of surprise. You waited patiently for Avril to make a decision, feeling a similar level of excitement with a little bit of concern - but then that easily just added to the thrill.
