(The following is a series of messages over the course of several weeks)

8am

-Hey Lola, We've switched again. Sally is stopping by with some legal papers. I need you to listen carefully to everything she says. Go to the phone. Call me. Repeat to me everything she said. At which point I'll tell you what to tell her. Confound it, this is twice as hard as it needs to be. Is there anything earth shattering on this end I need to know about or just school?

-Sorry I overslept! My bad! Um, yeah there is something urgent. My sister Luan (the one with the braces) asked me to be sawn in half after school. When is Sally getting here?

-She should be there already.

-Oopsie!

7pm

-Hey Tanya. So how did I do?

-Satisfactory. You have quite a good memory.

-Yay!!:) So are you purchasing stock in another company?

-No. Sally is.

- Right but she's doing it on your behalf right?

-Wait, Tanya are you going to have this new company buy your old one back?

-Your catching on fast.

-:0 How was my Luans magic act?

-Needs work. Your left leg has a bandage but I got out before it went deep. Does anyone in your family think before they act?

10 am

-Tanya, Theres a bunch of stuff next to your bed and a note that says interview today. What do I do?

-Read the note. Your going on TV today. I had a feeling this might happen so I came prepared. Note has a full list of what to say. Use your best judgement guided by your experience.

-I'm 7

-and you've been on TV how many times?

-good point. Alright, I'll knock them dead. I can do this.

-I'm leaving the clinic tmrw. I'll be back for checkups but this will be the last you see of those guys.

-awwwwww. I'll miss Margie, Kelpper and mr steffer. :(

-Believe it or not, I'll miss them too. Whats on my agenda today?

-Just school. The usual

-notihng is usual with you. I'll be watching you on TV tonight but don't let that throw you.

-ROTFL! IF you can get the tv.

9pm

-Lola. Your siblings are animals. No one thought to buy a second TV?!

-LOL. Did you see me?

-The last 30 mins. You were superb. If I didn't know any better I'd swear I had done that interview myself.

-Awww. That makes me so Happy!

.......................

-Tanya, we need to talk.

-I'm about to go to school, make it quick.

-Well, we've been switching back and forth pretty frequently lately.

-I'm aware. I'll let you know when I think of something.

-No. I mean, you've been going to my school a lot lately. its starting to show.

-??? Who's onto me? I've been acting like you to the best of my ability.

-My tests are too good. My teacher said he could bump me up a grade if I'm not feeling challenged enough.

-Ah. I understand. Normal marks from here on. If he asks you again, say you want to stay in the same grade as your sister.

.......................................

9am

-Hey Tanya. how are you?

-We haven't swapped today Lola. I need to go over all the work I've missed.

-Yeah. I know. I need to get back into ribbon practice. I just wanted to touch base. You know. Ask you how your doing.

-I'm doing fine.

-Are you free this evening?

-What time?

-9pm

-Yes. I should be free by then. Talk to to later, I have to work.

10am

-You know I think these switches are killing brain cells. Why would YOU be free at 9pm? Your bedtime is 8:30???

-Oh you got that did you? Yeah, you have a date tonight.

-His name is Micheal Gardner. I met him at the tech expo thing. you know, the one I set on fire. Anyway he was in town and looked me up.

-Well, he looked you up. And we got to talking and you have a date tonight. 9pm at Giovanni's. Its this great Italian place he knows. on 6th and crescent. Your welcome!

-kid, I will kill you.

11:30pm

-Lola. I know your in bed right now. I also know you will pester me endlessly about the date so I'll keep it brief. It went well. Micheal is quite a gentleman. The food was good too. Honestly, I've been so busy that it's been a while since I went out with anyone. This was nice. Thank you Lola. But don't do it again without my permission. If he calls while your me, tell him you'll check your schedule and get back to him.

9am

-Okay Tanya! Peagant preliminaries! I left a big list of all the things I'm doing today so read it carefully. I'm on home schooling right now too so you can get as high a mark as you need to.

-I just read your note. Very thorough. Your learning.

-Focus lady! I have a reputation to uphold!

-Haha. Alright. I promise to uphold your standards at the event.

-good. Send me texts of your progress. I want constant updates!

- you realize you have to do my job too?

-I've already got it covered. I'm a third of the way through your list.

-???Lola I'm impressed.

-Be impressed on your own TIME!!!!!

-Ribbon dancing finished. Perfect tens. I'm really getting the hang of this.

2pm

-Oh my gosh! I won Lola I won! I can't believe it! I'm in the little miss sparkle pageant!

-Nice! Satisfactory Tanya.

-I never realized how escelirating this was. That was so much fun.

-Its spelled exhilarating.

-I'm in the little miss sparkle pageant!

-No. I am. I'm so jealous. But I'll be there for the main competition at least.

-right. Your little miss sparkle. Got carried away there. :)

....................................

noon

-omgosh! I completely forgot to go over what I had to do today! Lola, are you alright?

-Yep. Everything good.

-Did you meet the Vice President today?

-yep. he's the same guy who came to the dinner party. Bethell. I went over everything like you asked.

-What about the prototypes?

- about that. I didn't like your designs for the third one. I felt we could aim for a younger crowd. Brighter colours on the framework. A sleeker body. The board loved the design. Hope you don't mind.

-You pitched them an idea that wasn't drawn yet?

-No. I redrew it. I woke up early and did it all in a couple of hours.

-Wow.

-Also Tanya, I was going over those pricing figures and I think you could make them cheaper if you went through destiny outfitters. Same style of parts at half cost.

-....okay.

-Oh. And your plan worked of course. We have the patents to the self driving car. Congrats. You screwed over your own company. now the boards going to fire mcgruber and cut a deal to merge the two companies together with you as one of the senior Vp's.

-Lola. I'm speechless. Do you realize how intelligent you've become? I think our minds are starting to cross over or something. I still have most of my adult intellect but it might start to decrease if this keeps up.

-Then we better redouble our efforts on finding the source of this.

-Call me back around four.

-Oh sorry I'm having dinner with Micheal. I'll call you tonight before you go to bed.

.............................................

9Am

- Tanya, we should probably go over the details of what we know about the body swapping.

-Tanya?

10am

-Tanya?

11am

-Tatiana, call me when you can.

4pm

-Oh my gosh Lola I'm sorry! Your mom and dad took us to a waterpark and it was SOOO much fun! I went on the big slide nd the inner tubes. Lynn and luna had a chicken fight and we all went and hot fudge sundaes. It was sooooooo great. eeeeeeeeeeeee! Anyway, yeah we should try and figure out what's going on. Got any ideas?

....................................

7:30am

-! call me right away! I woke up this morning and I'm still in your body! What do we do?

10am

-Sorry. I was up late last night dancing with Micheal.

-Never mind Micheal. What do we do!? We've always switched back during the night.

-Well your the adult Tanya. You have any ideas?

-Oh my god. I think I'm going to cry.
