Sad Noon Timeline
1619-1682:
The first African Slaves sold to European Monarchies arrive in the American Colonies. Though the expectation that the imported slaves would reduce the strain on others within the colonies. This though did not materialize, African slaves, Native Slaves, and the poor Europeans were in function all treated one in the same. In the British Colonies the Irish were being forcefully deported from Ireland to the Americans to continue to bolster the slave force and open up land in Ireland to the English. France began a similar practice with the Germanic and Slavic peoples, having them enslaves or indentured to become labour in the colonies.
With each new colony established in the Americas, the more labour was demanded, thus more slaves were needed. Many oppressed groups in Europe also began moving to the Americas to found colonies. Though often their Colonial Overlords would assign Governors to each colony, ultimately defeating the greater goal of escaping the oppressors.
An underground movement was slowly forming as the colonies grew and developed. Most colonies didn’t allow slaves or the poor to learn how to read or write making it difficult for the downtrodden to organize. Though this was set to change. In 1675, a german slave, Hanz Obster, in Virginia began working with the other African, German, Irish, and Native slaves to create a secret codes to share ideas or info without the elites knowing. This code evolved into a written alphabet, word structures, sentence structure, and soon a new language had formed. Lektor, was the name given for this language, soon the language was spreading to other colonies. By 1682, almost every colony in the Americas had slaves who knew the new language.
1682-1764:
The European monarchies bickered among eachother and their direct control over the Americas was weakening. As Europe’s control weakened, some colonies had mild reforms allowing many to escape the shackles. The colonies were growing rapidly and as 1700 came and went the Monarchies of Europe were struck by a great plague. Not as severe as the Black Death, but still destabilizing. The Monarchies reinforced their control and had their armies crack down on the colonies once more, only serving to fester hatred among even the elites within the colonies.
The European Armies across the colonies inspired conflict with each other. The Dutch colonies were conquered by the British, which destroyed some of the most free of the colonies. In 1750 France and Britain began a war over the East Coast of North America, one France lost in 1763.
The conflict between France and Britain brought military leaders to the American colonies who were dissatisfied with the monarchies. Many people were stockpiling firearms due to the conflicts in the Americas at the hand of the monarchies.
1764-1770:
The British, French, and Spanish monarchies, exhausted from war began taxing their colonies heavily to begin restoring their coffers.
The colonies began organizing themselves as many of the Elites of old had died and the oppressed underclass and slaves radically out-populated the remaining elites. Big changes came in the colonies as the local colonial governments were reformed to include Parliaments, though these parliaments were façades as they had no true legal authority when the monarchies could decree any new act or law and the Parliaments could do nothing.
Continued taxation, oppression, and extreme disconnects from Europe and the Americas served to promote greater and greater unrest.
On December 3rd, 1770 in New Amsterdam, protesters were shot by British Musketeers. News quickly spread over the following weeks from the British colonies to the Spanish colonies as far south as Peru. The colonies people were outraged and riots began as many of the colonies began holding meetings with each other about the act. Though the outrage in the British Colonies became unmatched by the Spanish Colonies, in Spanish-Mexico massive revolts were spreading.
1773:
The American Convention which had reps sent from most of the North and South American colonies, the choice was clear, he rule of Europe had to end. The Declaration of American Autonomy and Independence was written and copies were sent to Europe while the colonies organized for war. One of the most pressing issues was the fact a navy would need to be built, it was understood the Atlantic side colonies wouldn’t stand a chance. So the Pacific Colonies were set to begin building a fleet while the Atlantic Colonies began organizing militias. Many military officers within the colonies defected to the colonies. They had to quickly organize themselves to resit the might of Europe.
1774-1789:
Britain sent its forces first to Bring the Sixteen Colonies back in line. They landed in New Amsterdam and the Army of George Washington was there to meet them. The British were forced to retreat and move elsewhere to land their army.
A small militia called the Green Mountain Boys captured multiple British and French bases in the Northern Colonies.
While George Washington’s Army fought in New Amsterdam and Massachusetts, a map was distributed by the Continental Convention, divided all the American colonies into command groups to better organize their defense against the Monarchies. This resulted in the formation of the Republics of the Americas and helped vastly organize the defense.
The Mexican Militias engaged the Spanish in Yucatan, the Cuban Army engaged the Spanish in the south of Cuba.
The Sixteen Colonies were seeing the brunt of the conflict, as 1778 came, the Colonies of the South Pacific began sending small fleets to the other colonies to begin harassing the Spanish, British, and French Armadas.
The Dutch would silently decide to support the independence movement in the Americas by hiring Germanic Mercenaries and sending them to the Americas to train the militias.
The Sixteen Colonies made a radical move, the Congress of the States declared the liberation of all slaves in 1779, adding an additional 8 million to the forces fighting for independence. Slave Owners would be executed and the now freed slaves would be able to join the militias.
The liberation of slaves was quickly followed by the other colonies, while the colonies were largely a fully united front, the same could not be said for the Monarchies. The British, French, and Spanish were all sabotaging each other which allowed the Colonies to keep fighting a conflict they otherwise stood a very low chance of winning.
In 1780, the British attempted to land in Georgia just for a hurricane to destroy their fleet, resulting in 4,000 casualties. In Europe support for the war was dwindling as both the cost and casualties mounted.
Many of the colonies by 1783 had built up the infrastructure necessary for the production of most military equipment. The Colonial Militias had largely gone from civilian militias to determined, organized, and well armed Armies. George Washington’s Army had a resounding victory in New Amsterdam when his Army crushed two British armies attempting to break the Sixteen colonies in 2.
In 1784, France was the first to submit, its economy was in shambles, starvation swept through France, and the peasants were starting to revolt.
In 1787, Spain was the next to withdrawal as their army in Mexico was forced to withdrawal and a hurricane heavily damaged their navy around Cuba.
Finally in 1789, Britain finally withdrew and the Treaty of Amsterdam forced France, Britain, and Spain to recognize the now free status of the Americas. Of course the colonies would pay debts to the empires for some time, but the Colonies were free to choose their own destinies.
The Continental Congress of the Americas had a final meeting, the American Defense and Support Agreement was signed to ensure the Empires of Europe would never gain control in the Americas again.
The nations of the Americas quickly formed while the old Continental Congress played a key role in the revolution, the regional congresses would dissolve as borders were drawn.

In 1794, the USA and Britain signed the Jay Treaty, this would help end brewing conflicts between the USA and Britain due to trade conflicts brought on by Britain’s war against the Republic of France. The treaty would open up US trade to other British Colonies, Britain could no longer press US sailors into the Royal Navy, Britain would no longer supply Native Tribes, and the US would end its embargo on Britain. Despite the treaty heavily favoring the USA, the treaty was incredibly controversial among the US populous.

The formal declaration of the Mexican-American War begins in 1846.
The war is a smashing victory for the United States. The US managing to surround Mexico City and siege it, Mexico submitting to a total surrender.
The war results in one of the most radical changes in borders since the Revolutionary War. Mexico moves its capitol from Mexico City to Merida.
Going into the 1850s the US enters a state of rapid growth as the Pacific Coast is rapidly developed and a railroad connects the East and West Coast. Mexico begins a swifter recovery from the Mexican-American War with economic support from the United States and Central Republic of America.
The new Republic Party is formed, being popular for its ideal platform of total integration for all Americans, with a utopian goal of ending racial divides within the USA.
In 1857, the Department of the Navy commissions the designing of an Iron Steam Warship, designated the USS.Alabama.
Abraham Lincoln wins the 1860 election due to a split ballot allowing him a narrow victory. Being the head of the Republic Party, Abraham’s Vice President shakes up the status quo being African-American Dred Scott.
1860-1900
The Lincoln Administration was highly controversial for its formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The FBI targeted many organizations racists across the United States.
Lincoln’s Administration also represented a significant shift in industrial ideology. Lincoln often backed worker movements to secure better working conditions in the US. This culminated in the formation of the Department of Labour which aimed to both improve working conditions and protect industrialist so that US economic potential wouldn’t be stifled.
The final significant action for the Lincoln Administration was the expansion of schools across the nation.
The improving state for people in the United States resulted in an easy re-election for Lincoln.
Most of Lincoln’s second term was smooth sailing, with few major shifts in policy. Lincoln’s second term was very much focused on infrastructure with increasing the availability of fresh clean water and modern sewage systems being built.
During Lincolns second term, Alaska was bought from Russia in 1868.
Dred Scott’s election after Lincoln’s second term was an upset of its own. The election of an African American in a majority white nation was seen as a functional impossibility. Though Dred Scott’s victory in the 1868 election was a result of major press tabloids neglecting to mention that Dred Scott was black. This was a collusion by Lincoln’s Administration and the Press.
The Scott Administration began with suppressing a handful of revolts that sprung up as a result of his election. While a handful of states threatened succession, little ended up coming of the threats.
The Scott Administration resulted in the greatest shift of policy regarding Africans as many states with racial segregation had these policies brought to an end. The economic difference between whites and blacks had begun to shift with many African Americans moving up the economic ladder thanks to Lincoln and Scott’s policies.
Dred Scott’s re-election was hotly contested, but his second victory cemented both his and Lincoln’s efforts to improve racial equality.
Scott’s Administration radically expanded the Commonwealth of Libertalia. With the goal of being to creation of a modern, stable, and free colony to show America’s superiority to European Colonialism.
The US formed a new culture as part of the greater racial integration. This was known as the Exceptionalist Culture. President Scott gave the speech in 1872, “A Free People with an Unbreakable Shield” which was the beginning of a shift towards the idea of a powerful military can ensure peace.
Following Scott’s Presidency the US made major strides towards growing and strengthening the military. Many new technologies were being implemented across the 1870s and 1880s.
The United States becomes the center of technological advancements, inventors and scientists from all over the world coming to the US to make it big.
The United States rapidly electrifies, as cities and towns become lit up across the country. Many see this as the beginning of the American Age.
A war breaks out between Spain and the US, in 1898, over a Spanish incursion into the Republic of Cuba. Though many believe that a large reason for the conflict was a ploy to expand the United States over the Pacific as in the same year the US annexed Hawaii.

Up-and-coming auditor Nicole Stryker streams down the interstate as she is sent by the Department of Taxation to attend to her next assignment out in the countryside. Eager to impress her employers yet feeling impatient as the town behind her shrinks in her rear-view mirror, Nicole grumbles behind the wheel as she heads off to meet her next client, ignoring the vast stretches of fields and farms occupying the widening landscape. Her sole focus is to find her client, take care of business as dictated, and then get the hell out of Dodge. Fittingly enough a city girl at heart, and not much for the sights and smells of the country......."Jeez,...
“Good morning Ms. Strauss” Lexi Collins perked up as she greeted her boss, who was coming in through the wide outer doors.
“Hello Lexi” Elizabeth replied without looking up or making eye contact. She continued on past her secretary’s desk to unlock the door to her inner office.
“Do you have the daily checks yet?” She called out as she flipped on the lights and opened her laptop.
“Yes Ma'am I do” Lexi stood up and brought them in, smiling, carrying a small stack of papers.
“Did you send me the match spreadsheet?” Elizabeth asked as she took her seat in her big, thick leather chair.
“Yes…to your email about 20 minutes ago”
“Good”
This was their morning routine. AP would send their printed checks to go out first for Elizabeth to sign them while she matched up the funds. 
Lexi knew she could take a seat in the visitor chair on the other side of Elizabeth's large intimidating desk.
Elizabeth Strauss was the head of Taxation and Accounting. At just 34, she had risen quickly in the company due to her ambitious goals and determination.
Always impeccably dressed, today she wore black heels, a gray tweed skirt just below her knees and a black blouse. Her brown hair was always styled perfectly and professionally, her makeup always light and tasteful, elegant. She had a natural poise to her as she came from old money.
She had attended Brown University for her undergraduate and Harvard for her MBA. She would be VP by 40 and CEO by 45.
Lexi, Alexa Collins, her secretary was 22. Dressed today in red high heels, a black skirt above her knees and a white, low cut top, her long blonde hair flowed over her shoulders.
Her makeup was bold and her long red fingernails clicked.
She had graduated high school through a Cosmetology course but didn't like working in a Salon so she tried a semester of Community College, eventually ending up with a secretarial job. 
Elizabeth handed the signed stack over for Lexi to take them to the mailroom “Can you bring me a coffee when you come back?” Elizabeth asked.
“Of course Ms. Strauss” Lexi replied in her chipper voice.
Elizabeth settled in for another day. She checked her calendar and saw all the meetings lined up. The emails, the texts and phone calls; she was simply not in the mood today. That, in and of itself, was a rare occurrence, but it was disconcerting that it was the second time this month she had felt this way.
“Maybe I need a vacation?” She thought, pondering a trip to Greece. But then she remembered a huge migration project was coming up. Elizabeth groaned internally.
“A fucking monkey could do the migration…my least favorite part of the year”
The work was mundane as individual tax accounts migrated over. She had to be there to sign off on every one of them individually. Since there was sensitive information involved, it was considered Eyes Only and therefore, had to be dealt with by her.
Just then, Lexi returned with her coffee “Thank you” she said as she took the cup.
“You're welcome Ma'am” Lexi replied with a dazzling smile.
Elizabeth didn't usually pay much attention to her secretary. She had gone through a few in her decade at the company. Lexi had been there almost a year. There were times when her outfits or makeup were sliding into inappropriate but Elizabeth let it go. 
She noticed the red heels. So playful. Something she could never wear.
“I'm not allowed to even think about having a playful side, never have, never will.  Not in the Strauss family. Everything so buttoned up, everything so prim and proper. No emotion or feeling, just status and keeping up appearances” she thought to herself.
Her mind was now wandering “What if I could take a vacation from myself?”
She surprised herself with the little tingling sensation that took hold deep inside her.
“Did that just…turn me on?” she wondered.
Looking up, she could see the back of Lexi's head and shoulders “She's probably on her phone again” she thought. She often caught her on her phone, texting or playing games “Must be nice” she thought and then it hit her. Such a strange and intense feeling. Fascinating and interesting to her current train of thought “What if? What if Lexi and I switched jobs?” She giggled to herself at the absurdity of that. But yet, that tingling returned.
Elizabeth focused on it. She had never felt this way outside of dating or fantasizing about a guy. But even that wasn't exactly the same. This was something deeper, more enticing. 
Elizabeth had just discovered her hidden taboo. Her kink. Her fetish. She had never thought about anything like this before, ever. It wasn't even so much about Lexi and her body. It was the thought of going down. 
Voluntarily downgrading herself. Lowering herself. Something so forbidden, so outside her upbringing and family norms and expectations. Becoming subordinate to her secretary.
Elizabeth found it hard to swallow. She felt warm, her whole body was tingling with forbidden thoughts. So unacceptable to her parents. So unthinkable after a lifetime of preparation and assumptions about her predictable life.
To switch places with a lowly secretary?!
She was throbbing with anticipation, the tantalizing danger of it, the thrill of giving up and giving away her privileges. The adrenaline rush of living and being someone else. A total deviation from her usual life “What if we switched for a day?” She lost some of the rush “No…more like a month” brought some back but her mind was already jumping ahead and making her heart pound with the thought “What if we switch places and can't change back?” 
She looked out at Lexi. “What if I'm stuck with her education and intelligence?” She shivered picturing herself with her long red fingernails, wearing her red high heels. “I would remember my old life and know that I should understand this job, but I no longer would”
Thoughts continued to build “Switching intelligence and education would just be the beginning. She would have to inherit my mannerisms, my connections. It would be her trapped in her family's expectations. She would have my money. My inheritance but also my salary…which would lead to my house, my car, my wardrobe…every possession”
At that thought she turned to the bookcases behind her. Books were interspersed with antiques, family heirlooms. She stood up and stretched out her back and legs looking at priceless art hung on her office walls.
She thought about having Lexi's possessions in return. “Probably a cramped little apartment and an old car. Clothes from discount stores…cheap food” trying to dissuade herself was only pulling her deeper in.
A seed, once planted, will inevitably grow larger and larger.
Elizabeth composed herself as she headed to her first meeting of the day “I'll be back” she said to Lexi with a dramatic sigh.
Lexi just smiled and giggled “Okay”.  There were some days she never spoke to her boss outside of yes and no.
Lexi kept up with her work but she didn't know if it was what she wanted to do long term. She just couldn't see herself advancing here. Everyone above her had degrees and school just wasn't her thing.
She would love to be an executive, fawned and fussed over like her boss.
But Lexi knew that wasn't her fate. She wasn't born with the money and status that Ms. Strauss was born with, let alone her brains and that elegance that came so naturally to her.
“She was born with all the cheat codes on for life” Lexi had to admit. 
Elizabeth settled into the boardroom for their weekly meeting. She could barely focus and concentrate on the meeting, her mind just kept wandering back to her now intrusive thought.
Lunch was delivered and Elizabeth was getting antsy. She wanted to get the meetings over with and back to her office. “What if I were back there, but at the small desk outside?” The thought woke her up and gave her the motivation to finish up the meetings. “It should be her in these meetings”
Finally free, Elizabeth returned to her office. “Do I feel nervous? Am I actually feeling worked up about seeing my secretary? You need to get a grip. This weird little fantasy has gone far enough…you could fire her on the spot and no one would bat an eye. But what if it were her who could fire you?”
Elizabeth's knees went weak as her thought turned 180 degrees.
As the outer door opened, Lexi covered up her phone with a notebook and smiled.
“Can you come into my office Lexi?” Elizabeth asked, stopping briefly at Lexi's desk.
“Of course Ms. Strauss, is there anything wrong?”
Elizabeth strutted to her chair. She sat and crossed her legs “No, nothing wrong Lexi. Please, have a seat” she motioned to the other chair.
Lexi sat and kept her knees together, sitting forward with her hands in her lap.
Elizabeth actually gave Lexi a warm smile. Lexi didn't know if she had ever seen that before. “How long have you been with Unicorp? 9 months?”
“Um, actually it's been 11 months. Almost a full year” she returned the smile.
“Well, we will need to make sure we get something good for you” Elizabeth replied. “My point is that I think you're doing a great job. I know I can be all business and I haven't told you that I enjoy working with you and I think you could have a big future with the company if you stick with me” she teased.
“Wow…I am speechless. Thank you” Lexi was genuinely touched “That really means a lot to me Ms. Strauss”
“Well, you've earned it. What would you want here? Where do you see yourself going here? What would be your dream job?” Elizabeth asked. 
Lexi was caught a bit off guard and she blushed. “Well, um, honestly; my dream job would be yours” she replied a bit shyly.
Elizabeth's face brightened and she laughed “Oh! Ok…I'm flattered” Elizabeth was absolutely melting internally. Her stomach floated and fluttered uncontrollably. She recrossed her legs just to disguise her squirming, throbbing pleasure.
“I would love to be in your shoes. An executive position with real responsibilities” Lexi said but her smile faded a bit as she added “But, I don't have a degree. I don't have experience and I don't have that natural charisma”
“Don't put yourself down! There's more important things than a degree. There's connections and you've got me in your corner now” Elizabeth said “Let me see what I can do for you. I think we can definitely work together. Maybe get you on this side of this desk” she looked down at herself while giving Lexi a sly smile and eyebrow raise.
Lexi had never seen this side of her boss. 
“Thank you! I don't know what to say?!”
“Just say yes! You're interested!” Elizabeth said. 
“Yes! I'm so interested!” Lexi was excited.
“So starting tomorrow morning, I'm going to include you on more of my tasks, I'm going to be honest, I'm a little overstretched and stressed and I'm looking to see if you can help, to see if you're up to the task. If you are, you could go very far here…very far indeed”
Lexi stood up and Elizabeth really took in just how petite she was. A tiny girl; bubbly but definitely diminutive. “Have a good night Lexi. I'll see you in the morning.
Lexi was all smiles. She couldn't believe it, it was quite unexpected and she texted everyone that night her good news. 
After Lexi left, Elizabeth went to her bookcases and took down a statue. She held the priceless terracotta figure of two women, an original from 300 B.C., in her manicured fingers. She placed it on her desk and headed home.
She drove her brand new Audi to her spacious home overlooking the bay. A multimillion dollar stretch of land.
Marble floors, the absolute finest furnishings. But it was the thought of all of this becoming inaccessible to her that was currently driving her, exciting her.
She immediately headed to her bathroom where she stripped down. On her way home, she had stopped at a drugstore and, using the self-checkout, had bought a set of cheap red, stick-on nails.
Finding a pair of red heels in her closet, she put them on along with the fake nails and brought herself to the most amazing and intense orgasm of her life. “What if…?”
The next morning Lexi arrived bright and early. She wore a light blue top, a tan skirt and nude heels. She arrived first but not by much.
Elizabeth had been thinking about this all night. She couldn't stop thinking about it. This was all she was thinking about for a full day now.
She wore a white blouse, black skirt and a different pair of black heels than the day before. She had over a dozen pairs of just black heels.
“Ready for the first day of your new future?” Elizabeth asked.
“Oh wow…yeah! Yes I am” Lexi was smiling.
Elizabeth unlocked her office “I should get you your own key to this office” 
Lexi just smiled behind her. She knew her boss was taller than her but being this close behind really brought it out. 
She saw that Elizabeth had moved the statue that was her favorite to her desk “I absolutely love that statue. It is so cool” 
“Oh thanks! It's my favorite one here too. It's Macedonian; from the third century B.C.” Elizabeth ran her hand over one of the two figures. “Actually, I think it would be best if we start out at your desk. You show me your steps of the check run since you start”
“Oh okay, that makes sense,” Lexi replied as they went to her small desk. 
“I need to know how to do your work too” Elizabeth teased “We both need to know each other's job”
Lexi just laughed “I'm sure my job would be boring to you. It's quite below you”
Elizabeth gasped a bit “Oh it is absolutely not! I find your work fascinating and vital”
Lexi thought her boss was just placating her but she asked several questions about what she did and her procedures.
They moved back into Elizabeth's large office. Lexi stayed off to the side but Elizabeth insisted that she sit in Elizabeth's leather chair.
“I could get used to this” Lexi said as she looked up separate tables to match up all the fund transactions.
“You look good in that chair. Very flattering for you” Elizabeth replied and Lexi looked up.
Lexi's head tilted at the comment, a bit of confusion on her face “Are you…?” She stopped herself “Am I being punked? Is she making fun of me?” She panicked. 
Elizabeth saw the expression on Lexi's face. She let out a gentle sigh “I know what you're thinking Lexi and I assure you that I have nothing but the best intention for you. I wouldn’t ever look down on you. I know you're self-conscious but just trust me. I think you're doing a great job and if you stick with me through this, the sky is truly the limit” She spoke with genuine sincerity and earnestness that Lexi visibly relaxed.
“I know this seems sudden and dramatic but, it will soon make sense”
Lexi made her way through the day right by Elizabeth's side. Meetings and calls, Elizabeth shared it all. 
Near the end of the day, Elizabeth asked “So, what do you think of my job?”
“It's great. Engaging and interesting, important…I would hope that I've shown enough that we can keep going like this” Lexi replied.
“That’s great to hear Lexi. I've been very impressed with you” Elizabeth said and Lexi smiled.
Now it was Elizabeth's turn to be nervous “Lexi. What I'm going to say next might sound outrageous but I ask you to trust me, take it seriously and know that I am not joking” Lexi looked at her intently “What if I told you that I don't just want you to be my assistant; I want you to replace me if you are willing”
Lexi simply said “What?”
“I know this is going to sound absolutely crazy. The most insane, impossible scenario ever and you'll think I'm nuts for saying it but, would you be willing to switch places with me?”
Lexi just looked confused. She couldn't find any words. But Elizabeth was right: She did sound crazy. “That’s hilarious but also impossible. I would be an imposter, I would be…”
“You would be me” Elizabeth said, looking much more seriously at Lexi. “We would trade everything between the two of us. You would get my education, my intelligence, my job. And that would also mean you would have to get my body but, you would then also get my entire life. The house, the cars, the money…the position. I'll be CEO in 10 years. After that, who knows? U.S. Treasury Secretary has been mentioned with my family's connections” she shrugged.
“Why?! What?...That…doesn't make any sense?! You have the perfect life! Why in the world would you ever even dream of giving up any of it?!” Lexi said in shock.
“Perfect to everyone else but me” Elizabeth replied. “I've never had one choice to make in my life. Everything has been pre-planned out for me. Everything scripted, everything so untouchable, so unquestionable” She looked at Lexi and confessed “I realized that I don't want it. I want you to have it”
“Why me? I don't deserve it”” Lexi said.
“Do you want it? Do you want to be me?” Elizabeth asked “Because I'm prepared to give it all over to you. Everything can be yours”
“I can’t take…” Lexi was so torn and conflicted and confused.
“When I asked you yesterday, you said your dream job would be my job. That you would love to be in my shoes” Elizabeth said.
“Yeah but!”
“I want you in my shoes and I want to be in yours instead” Elizabeth said “Think about it; everything between us totally flipped. You, in a position of power over me instead of the way things currently are. I would be working for you as your secretary. You could fire me and no one would question it. I wouldn’t have my money or my name to fall back on”
“I don't understand” Lexi slid back in her chair “It's impossible to switch bodies and there is no way this could ever work and besides that, why would you ever want to just give away everything to me” 
“Can I show you something? If I can show you that it's possible, will you at least consider it?” Elizabeth asked, afraid her dream was slipping away.
Lexi nodded, her brow furrowed.
“Just touch the statue. That's all you have to do”
Lexi approached the statue like it was on fire. Her hands hovered over it before she finally put them on it.
Elizabeth them touched it as well “I'm going to do something super small, yet it will absolutely prove that this is real and can work”
Lexi was skeptical about all of this, yet…deep down, if we're really possible, fascinated. She didn't want to get sucked in if Elizabeth was just pulling some sick prank on her “This can't be real! It makes no sense!”
Elizabeth put her hands on the statue and said “I wish that I had Lexi's fingernails and that she had mine”
Lexi felt a slight tingling at the tips of her fingers. A little numbness that was actually a pleasant feeling.
Lexi's jaw dropped and her mind went blank as it simply became overwhelmed at what she was seeing. Her long red fingernails were retreating, slinking down but also changing shape and the polish was fading in color.
The bright red swirled and darkened to burgundy; Elizabeth's color. 
With her Cosmetology background, Lexi knew nails. She knew these nails were professionally manicured and maintained, but they definitely weren't her own.
Lexi gasped as her eyes moved from her own hands on the statue to her boss’ hands.
Elizabeth's nails were now long and red. She clicked them and smiled at Lexi “Do you believe me now?”
Lexi ran the pads of her fingers and thumbs over her new nails and then she felt Elizabeth's hands. It wasn't an illusion; they had switched nails.
“I just can't process this…it's…” Lexi said.
“Totally possible” Elizabeth finished for her. “We can literally switch everything. Everything I have, can be yours”
Lexi just sat stunned. “Can I get you something to drink? Coffee maybe?” 
Lexi was so out of it she just nodded.
Elizabeth quivered at the thought of going to get Lexi her coffee instead of the other way around.
Lexi's mind raced while alone sitting behind the desk. “I don't know why she would want to, but, since she is so insistent” Lexi allowed herself the opportunity to picture it. And the longer she went and the more she saw, the more she began to want it. She could allow this to happen between them and totally change everything about her life. “Rich people are born with all the cheat codes to life. I could have it all. Why wouldn't I?”
It was the sight of Ms. Strauss coming into the office carrying her coffee that sold it to her. Those red nails wrapped around the bright white cup. She was the one serving her. Approaching her meekly and humbled, a smile on her perfectly made up face. All that money, power and intelligence…and all she wanted was to be a meager secretary.  Well if that's what she wanted? That was what she would get.
Elizabeth's fantasy was beginning to play out. She hoped that it would spark something in her secretary and when she entered her office and saw her sitting behind her desk, there was a different look in Lexi's eyes.
Lexi was incredibly nervous. She could barely speak for her nerves; these next few words would determine both of their futures.
“Thank you. You can leave my coffee on my desk Lexi and return to your duties”
Elizabeth was stunned but overjoyed. Enthralled with what she had just heard. Her heart raced, her mind reeled, her stomach flipped and her spine tingled as she replied “Yes Ms. Strauss. Is there anything else you need from me?” Elizabeth's voice wavered, shaking with excitement.
Lexi looked up and as she hooded her eyes ever so slightly and said “I accept your offer”
Elizabeth's eyes widened. She tried to suppress her smile to keep up appearances of their new, coming relationship “Thank you. I think we've both made the right choice. You won't regret it”
“No, I doubt I will. But will you?” Lexi said.
“No Ma'am…I don't think I will” Elizabeth replied with a hunger in her eyes.
Lexi cocked her head ever so slightly “I would like to make a request”
“Of course. What is it?” Elizabeth asked.
“Before we begin to swap. I would like to see where I will be living? I would like to see a full rundown of my new net worth as well” Lexi's stomach flipped nervously.
“Of course Ma'am. Just give me a few minutes to put that all together for you and I'm sure we can arrange a personal trip to your new home” Elizabeth replied.
Lexi then broke character, smiling as she stood up “Is that what you want?”
Elizabeth nodded “Yes. Is that your answer? Are you saying that you would switch places with me?”
Lexi nodded “Yes. I don't understand it but yes, I will switch with you. How could I say no?”
“I guess you couldn't say no” Elizabeth responded. “It's close enough to the end of day” Elizabeth said as she grabbed her purse. She pulled out the fob for her brand new Audi. She put it on the desk in front of Lexi. “I'll trade you cars and then you can follow me. Once we get to your new house, you'll notice a button to open the outer gate. Along with this code” she wrote it on a post it note.
“Gated entrance…Audi to drive…Ohmygod” Lexi thought.
Lexi's knees were shaking as she got her purse and possessions and the two of them walked out together.
Elizabeth stood by while Lexi adjusted the seat to her height.
Elizabeth went to Lexi's old Honda parked in the middle of the lot as opposed to her reserved spot in the front. Getting in, she slipped off her heels to drive barefoot. The car was loud, there was just a radio, no satellite services, but she adjusted her mirror and looked into her own eyes. She felt alive.
She drove off with Lexi following her in her car.
They wound through exclusive neighborhoods and past million dollar homes until they arrived at the house.
Lexi's jaw dropped as they pulled in after she undid the security for them.
More security waited for them. Beyond keys and codes, Elizabeth had to put up the palm of her hand up for a biometric scan to enter.
Lexi thought “That will be my hand. She will lose access to everything”
Lexi's eyes widened and her jaw dropped as they stepped in. It was palatial inside. “This. This is going…to be…mine?!” 
Elizabeth nodded as she led her past the foyer and entrance into the formal living room. The library and office were to the left, the formal dining room on the right which then went into the kitchen. “I've been in restaurants with smaller kitchens than this ” Lexi remarked.
Another smaller dining area and a huge sunroom and deck overlooked the Bay. 
Downstairs was a gym, sauna, and several storage rooms. “5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms” Elizabeth explained as Lexi took in all the artwork that was all around her.
Upstairs was much cozier. A loft room where Elizabeth watched TV; which was at least a 100 inch screen.
She showed her bathrooms and bedrooms before she got to her master suite.
“The house I grew up in could fit just in this room” Lexi said. 4 walk in closets. A master bathroom that had 2 separate tubs and the most luxurious shower imaginable were off of it.
The master itself was the finest bedding. Every product was top of the line. Lexi got lost in all of the closets. She could go well over a year and not wear the same outfit twice.
While Lexi admired everything , Elizabeth went to her personal computer and dove deep into her financial documents. “This is your current personal self-worth” She showed her a 8 digit figure. “At least for tax purposes. The family itself and what you will stand to inherit…well, that is substantially more”
Lexi was speechless. 
“I hope that it's all to your liking” Elizabeth said demurely.
“Oh…oh yes” Lexi replied.
“Would you like a glass of wine?” Elizabeth asked
“Yes, I would love one” Lexi said, relieved.
“I'll show you to the wine cellar, you can choose your favorite”
Lexi giggled “I don't have a favorite but, okay” 
Elizabeth smiled leading her to the basement past the gym. A cavernous wine cellar holding hundreds of bottles waited for them. 
Elizabeth opened a bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild. A $1,300 bottle of wine for them to casually drink.
Lexi knew that after her bills were paid this week, she had $211 in her checking account. She didn't even have a savings account or a retirement plan. 
Elizabeth was fumbling a bit with her long nails. She smiled though every time they clicked and clacked together. She kept checking them out and it took her a moment to get them situated on the stem of her wine glass. “A toast…to our new lives”
Lexi had to smile “To our new futures”
The security system indicated that the front gate was opening. “Right on time. Mitchell is with your Security Team. I asked him to make a delivery for me”
When Elizabeth returned, she was carrying the statue. She placed it on a table in the formal living room “Once you said you accepted my offer, I thought it should be with us”
Lexi drained the rest of her glass of wine as her body tingled. “This is all going to be mine?”
Elizabeth nodded “We're going to take it slow. As slow as we both need it to be so it's not completely overwhelming. This is going to be a lot to adjust to and since we're in agreement, there is no need to rush”
Lexi nodded, an eager smile now coming out as it was becoming more and more possible in her mind. “Should we try something beyond our fingernails?”
“Yes. I think it is time for something more substantial but should it be mental or physical?” Elizabeth asked.
“We changed something small physically, I think we should try mentally to see how that feels” Lexi offered.
“I am thinking that we start by swapping out our cognitive skills. We will have each other's intellectual capabilities and capacity. We will start to think like the other…I think that's a good place to start our mental swaps” Elizabeth said confidently.
Lexi was already out of her league. She nodded and went along with what Elizabeth was saying. “Yeah…OK, that sounds good” she faked her confidence.
They both went to the statue and placed their hands on it, thinking about the coming switch.
Elizabeth felt her brain flex. A warping sensation washed over her and when everything cleared up, she felt different from usual. This was an entirely new sensation for her; uncertainty.
A bit of confusion mixed in now, her reasoning and critical thinking were declining. She simply wasn't as stern and steadfast. Details were becoming cloudy, not as important. Elizabeth's overall mental functionality had been altered to become slower, more sluggish: They had declined.
Lexi felt her mind expanding, growing. More curious and suddenly searching, seeking for explanations and proof that she was gaining capacity from Elizabeth. Doors seemed to open in her mind. Things that she had always wondered about but never quite understood clarified. She was processing her situation quickly and easily. What she was about to gain became much more tempting to her.
“Wow! I feel different!” Lexi said excitedly as she took her hand away.
Elizabeth smiled, a satisfied look in her eyes. A recognition of peace of mind “Yeah…me too…wow…to think that we just swapped our ways of thinking” Elizabeth looked back up “What if we swapped intelligence next? Combine it with the way we think about how to apply it?” Lexi nodded enthusiastically “I want to keep going”
They put their hands down and more mental aspects transferred between them.
Lexi's mind grew exponentially; logic, reasoning, critical thinking and decision making. Trivial facts came her way but also an increased vocabulary and a litany of skills she had never possessed. A mastery of high level mathematics, a fluency in French, piano and dance lessons, etiquette. It was becoming overwhelming as her increasing intelligence had to process and compartmentalize. Her mind was racing, but keeping up.
Elizabeth would never be able to fully put into words how it felt as her intelligence diminished. Limits locked over things that had previously been accessed so simply. Some frustration flared up as abilities now flowed away from her. Language skills, higher level knowledge just became confusing and out of reach. Knowing that she was losing skills, willingly trading them away, was touching that deep taboo desire within her. Abilities she took for granted, now felt beyond her capacity, a dulling sense of curiosity, less risk, less reward, more content with what she got. It absolutely fascinated her even as her capability for imagination was dimming.
Their eyes met as their hands remained placed on the statue. The very look in their eyes began to change. Lexi's, more calculating, Elizabeth's, more open and naive.
“I think I need another drink” Elizabeth said. Her voice was beginning to sound different. The cadence was more sing-song, more playful and girlish.
“I think I have to agree” Lexi concurred.
They both poured themselves generous glasses of wine.
The mental swaps were continuing to expand, domino effects as their minds began to merge and change into each other's.
Even with her increased intelligence, Lexi still didn't understand why Elizabeth was so intent on giving up everything to her. But even if they stopped right here, she would already be much better off. But, they still had a long way to go.
“We should do something physical next” Lexi proposed.
“Sure” Elizabeth said. She was searching for her vocabulary. It was such a strange phenomenon. Knowing that she should know more words, larger words and yet coming up empty. It turned her on. 
They looked each other up and down, neither one really wanted to be the one to say a part before Elizabeth said “Maybe we should just start with our feet and move up”
“We could do it that way…so we're not jumping around all over the place” She looked over at Elizabeth's feet, clad in expensive Italian leather black heels.
Elizabeth was tingling as she managed to say “Literally stepping into each other's shoes” as she lifted her toes, hearing the leather stretch.
Lexi smiled and tapped her toes. She slipped her tiny feet out of her nude heels. Nothing special, just what she could afford “I'm only a size 6” she admitted.
“I'm an 8” Elizabeth confessed as she slipped her feet out and they stood barefoot across from each other.
“Well you are taller than me so I suppose that would account for that but…I'm going to be 2 sizes larger” 
“And your feet are tiny…like, doll feet” Elizabeth blurted out, slightly embarrassed by her own comment.
Lexi blushed and laughed “Not for very much longer” 
They took a hold of the statue and thought about their feet.
The tingling sensation hit immediately and Elizabeth giggled “It's ticklish” as her feet began to shrink down and change shape. Her pedicure was the first thing to go. Her burgundy nail polish faded away, leaving plain nails in their wake. Nails that were thinner and smaller atop toes that were also shrinking down smaller. 
Elizabeth's feet narrowed and her heels pulled in against the marble floor making a slight squeaking sound as she lost 2 shoe sizes permanently. Her entire shoe collection of nearly 200 pairs of shoes, no longer fit her feet.
They fit their new owner. Lexi's feet began to spread out, growing larger and slightly wider. Her toes elongated, slender and pampered as a full pedicure treatment came to them. Her nails shifted as burgundy nail polish appeared.
Both women felt the changes to their own feet as they simultaneously watched all 4 of their feet transform.
Elizabeth used her new tiny feet to nudge her now too large heels towards Lexi 
Lexi took the hint and moved around allowing Elizabeth to get closer to her discarded nude heels.
Elizabeth smirked. She couldn't help it as she slipped her feet into Lexi's shoes. But, even more pleasing than that, was watching Lexi slipping her new feet into her new designer shoes.
“These heels are so comfortable. I've never had a pair of heels feel this good” Lexi admitted, spreading her toes, feeling the leather cradle her feet. She blushed a bit realizing how cheap her shoes and clothes were, the ones she was passing along to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth didn't mind one bit. She loved these tiny little feet she now possessed. “How about we switch our legs, hips and rear ends? We will save the full deal for a little bit later, but, a little more physical changes should help us adjust some more. But I don't think either one of us is quite ready for the…” she trailed off and looked at her abdomen.
“No, no…I get it. I understand and agree” Lexi replied. 
She put her hand down on the statue “Legs, hips and…” she smiled, usually the word ass just rolled off her tongue but now, it didn't seem proper enough, for her, “derriere” she added.
Elizabeth bit her lower lip, suppressing a smile and laugh as she put her hand down.
Energy coursed through them, an electric current running up and down their legs.
Feet and fingernails were one thing; this was a whole other level.
“Ohmygod” Lexi said as she felt the intensity of the build up rush through her. She gasped as she looked down and saw her legs stretching out, extending as they grew longer.
Lexi was growing taller as her legs elongated. Elizabeth's legs were also fuller than Lexi's so her already high and tight skirt lifted up and grew tighter as her thighs filled out rounder. 
“Ohmygosh!” She exclaimed, reaching behind her to unzip her skirt enough to not ruin it.
The zipper made its own way down, audibly opening as Lexi's rather trim and slender legs filled out.
Elizabeth was not fat, not by any means, but her legs were undoubtedly bigger than Lexi's. 
Lexi felt added fat and muscle building up, especially her calf muscles, trained by so many years of dance and wearing heels.  Her thighs filled out and touched underneath her tight skirt.
Her hips flared outward and her ass began to build up and out. Both women had desirable rear ends, Lexi felt hers grow larger yet remain strong and pert.
Elizabeth's jaw dropped as she began to drop. Her feet dug down in her nude heels as it felt like she was falling despite not moving a muscle. Her muscles were moving for her as she shrank.
Elizabeth was losing several inches in height as her legs trimmed and thinned as she got shorter.
Her calves slimmed down and her thighs parted underneath her now too large skirt.
It had been sitting just below her knee. Now it hung to mid-calf and grew loose at her waist as her hips narrowed, her ass tightened down even smaller and her thighs trimmed.
“Oh!” Elizabeth exclaimed as she looked across to find the previously much shorter Lexi now equal to her in height. The 5’3” Lexi and the 5’8” Elizabeth now stood eye to eye.
Elizabeth lost decorum as her hands flew to her ass and squeezed. The sensation was earth shaking. Her legs were on fire, her ass sat so high and perky beneath her boring skirt.
This body altering the way it was, already made her feel more alive and vibrant than ever before in her life “And to think, I was originally thinking about switching places with my maid” Elizabeth recalled.
“What?!”Lexi said, hearing the confession “Excuse me?!”
“Only if you said no. I had to have a plan B. You'll meet Manuela tomorrow. She is nowhere near as pretty as you” Elizabeth added, checking out how Lexi looked with her legs and ass.
“Well, I guess her loss is my gain. I'm glad I was your first choice” Lexi said, checking out her own legs. Then checking out her old legs, which were now Elizabeth's.
Elizabeth ran her hands up under her skirt to touch her firm, slender thighs. She looked down and nodded.
Lexi got the hint and with a quick backwards thrust, her skirt zipper went the rest of the way down and she let the skirt drop to the floor.
Lexi stepped out her heels as she stepped clear of her skirt and she was left in her nude panties from the waist down.
Elizabeth smiled her approval. She had to undo a button and then with just a slight lowering of the zipper, her skirt easily came off.
Lexi was admiring her new legs and feet: if not now, when? This was the perfect time to take stock of her new lower half, sans the most delicate thing to switch.

The valuable mineral Feldomite, that was surprisingly discovered on Parsion III and lead to the crash of the Sepian Commodities Exchange shortly after had been treated more cautiously, as had all overall trade ever since. High valuable resources, even when found in massive amounts would no longer be openly sold to much worlds, in a attempt to keep the stock market and prices on a constant stable balance to not crash the markets and prices once more.
