Swap Week: The Date

Swap Week:  The Date
by RogerGirl

  Nicole and Jennifer stepped into the living room and her dad opened the door.  Nathan and Kyle were standing on the porch dressed in dress pants, dress shoes, and short sleeved button down shirts.  They both had their hair combed nice and each held a bouquet of flowers.  

"Wow, you look amazing," the boys said to their dates as they stood nervously on the porch.

"Thank you," the girls responded in unison.

 Nicole's dad invited them in and they each handed their dates a bouquet.  While the girls went to the kitchen to put their flowers into a vase, Nicole's dad talked to the two boys and asked them questions.  While Nick had brought home many girlfriends in the past, her dad seemed more critical of her date tonight now that she was a girl and because of her nervousness over the situation.  While he didn't pressure Nathan as much as he did the boys Megan had brought home, he did speak with him longer and set more rules than he did with Nick's girlfriends.  The girls returned to the living room and heard the boys promise they'd treat the girls well and to have them home by 11 since it was a school night.  Nicole thanked her dad for talking to Nathan and the group posed for a few pictures before saying goodbye.  They went to the parking lot and got into Nathan's car and drove to the restaurant.

  When they got to the Olive Garden, Nathan and Kyle opened the door for their dates and held their hands as they walked into the restaurant.  When they went inside Nathan went to the hostess and told her he had reservations.  The hostess looked up his name and smiled and led them to a booth.  They thanked the hostess and she walked away.  Soon after a waitress came to take their drink order.  Nicole recognized her as Nick's friend Marcus, but during Swap Week she was going by Marcia.  Marcus had naturally long hair like Nicole and made a cute girl, although her body and facial features were not as feminine as Nicole's or Jennifer's.  For Swap Week she had joined several academic clubs that she would not normally join as Marcus.  They hadn't seen or spoken to each other since the previous week as in their girl forms they were in different campus groups, but they smiled at each other and knew they'd have a lot to catch up on when the week was over.  The boys ordered Cokes and the girls ordered iced teas.  Marcia went to the back to get their drinks and the boys put their arms around their dates.  They looked through their menus and when Marcia returned with their drinks the girls ordered soup and salad while the boys ordered pasta.  

  While they waited for their food the boys told the girls how good they looked and they got to know each other better.  As they talked Kyle gently stroked Jennifer's leg and since she had been on Swap Week dates before she seemed pretty comfortable with it.  Nathan moved a bit more slowly with Nicole, keeping his hand on her shoulder, since he knew this was her first date with a boy.  From past experience on dates in his regular life as Natalie he knew how uncomfortable it made someone feel when a boy tried to move too fast.  Nicole was still feeling a little uncomfortable, but was glad that Nathan was taking things slow.  Soon after, their salad and bread sticks arrived and the girls made sure they didn't eat like they normally did as boys as they wanted to stay in character.  The boys, however, ate their pasta more quickly and got seconds since it was never ending pasta.  They enjoyed being able to eat a full meal on the date since football practice had increased their appetites.  When the check came the boys split the bill.  The girls were enjoying all of the special treatment they were getting as they always had to pay for their dates in their normal lives as boys.

 At a table across the way, Ms. Cho was on a date with Coach Knight.  Coach Sylvester Knight coached the basketball team during Swap Week.  For the rest of the year, he was Ms. Sylvia Knight, one of the school's English teachers and Mr. Cho's fiancee.  Coach Knight wasn't as convincing as a man as Ms. Cho was as a woman.  He was tall and had some musculature from playing college basketball, but his features were very feminine.  Since neither of them attended the high school as students, they both thought it would be fun to participate and see what it would be like to go on a date in their switched roles.  

"Maybe we should have stayed home, Sly" Ms. Cho said as she glanced around the restaurant.

"Don't worry, Crystal," Coach Knight replied as he held her hand on the table, "You look gorgeous.  I'm the one who should be feeling uncomfortable.  You look like a real woman, I look like a woman trying to look like a man."  

 Like Nicole, they both were feeling a little uncomfortable, but after a bottle of wine they both began to loosen up.  After a few glasses each, they leaned in and kissed each other.  Ms. Cho was wearing a short black dress and heels and Coach Knight was in a suit.  At the end of the night, they would go back home and give each other a night to remember.  

  After dinner Nicole and Jennifer said hello to Ms. Cho and they took turns introducing each other to their dates.  After talking for a few minutes, they said goodbye to Ms. Cho and took a walk through the mall.  The boys bought the girls frozen yogurt and they went to a few stores to do a little shopping.  The boys waited while the girls tried on clothes and ordered dresses for the dance on the weekend.  The boys had already gotten suits in past Swap Weeks and planned to wear them again for the dance.  Nicole ordered a black halter top gown with a bear back that had a slit that ran to the top of her leg.  Jennifer decided to get a shorter dress with a skirt that flared out .  At one point they passed the Guess Jeans store and a woman passing by asked Nicole and Nathan if they were the models in the picture in the window.  Confused, they looked up and saw a picture of Amber Heard and a male model in a cowboy hat.  They told her they were not, but thanked her for the compliment.  After the woman walked away, Nicole and Nathan took a picture together copying the pose in front of the store window with the original image behind them.  

  The girls also stopped at Victoria's Secret to get a couple things they were curious about trying.  The boys wanted to know what the girls bought, but they told them it was a secret and didn't show them.  They took their bags to the car and the boys bought tickets for a romance film.  During the movie Jennifer and Kyle made out a bit, but Nicole just rested her head on Nathan's shoulder while he put his arm around her.  As the movie went on Nicole began to feel more comfortable with Nathan and let him stroke her leg through her skirt.  After the movie, the boys took the girls back to Nicole's apartment.  

"I had a good time tonight," Nathan said as he walked Nicole to her door, "I hope we can see each other again."

"I'd like that," Nicole responded with a smile.  

 Kyle and Jennifer shared a long passionate kiss, but Nathan and Nicole just hugged as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.  Nicole enjoyed the date, but wasn't ready to kiss a guy on the lips yet.  They waved as the boys left in Nathan's car and they went inside the apartment.

  When they went inside Nicole's parents and sister were watching TV in the living room.  The girls told them all about their date then took their bags to Nicole's room.  Nicole and Jennifer hung out with Megan for a while, talking about the date and showing her the things they bought.  Megan was enjoying having a younger sister and wanted to know all the details of Nicole's first date.  After a while Jennifer gathered her things and left to go home.  Nicole and Megan stayed up a little longer talking with their mom who came in the room to join in the conversation.  She too was enjoying having another girl in the house.  After a while their mom decided to go to bed and soon Megan did too.  Nicole changed out of her outfit, removed her makeup, and took a warm bubble bath.  The bath felt really nice and much more relaxing than a shower.  After relaxing in the tub for a while, she drained the tub and washed off the bubbles.  When she got out, she dried off off and put on a night dress and underwear then went to her laptop to check her Facebook.  Nathan had sent her a relationship request, which she accepted.  She smiled happy to be Nathan's girlfriend for the next few days.  She uploaded some more pictures she had taken with Jennifer and her sister and pictures from the date and looked through her album for a new profile picture.  Throughout the week she had been changing her profile picture each day to reflect the aspects of her new life.  Tonight she wanted to reflect her new status as Nathan's girlfriend so she replaced her current profile picture with the one she had taken posing with Nathan in front of the Amber Heard window ad.  She smiled when she saw that Jennifer had also updated her relationship status to reflect her new relationship with Kyle.  While she had been nervous earlier about her first date, she now couldn't wait for her second.  She logged off of Facebook and went to bed.
