[Han]
"I am Han" I said to the confused looking Viceroy who just confessed to being Lucas. The look on his face was out of this world—we are already probably out of our world anyway—he looked as though he had just seen a ghost. If it were in other circumstances, I probably would have been rolling on the ground in laughter by now.
But this is not other circumstances and the situation we are in now, is rather a serious one. There was a collision, an accident, occurring at the same time with some booming thunder and rather than wake up to some accident scene we end up here, wherever here is, taking on the bodies and identities of some other two people.
Lucas did seem to be the lucky one though, he is some powerful Viceroy—who, even though I hate to admit it, is rather extremely handsome—while, I on the other hand, ended up as some lowly maid. How typical. He is the rich lucky one even in this world, and I wound up still being some form of assistant. What did I do to you, universe?
"Wait, I don't get it, you are Han? How? You are a woman!" Lucas said, obviously having difficulty digesting the fact that I am a woman.
"I get you man, had the same expression too when I just found it out myself" I said, totally getting Lucas' plight. "Apparently, I woke up here as a woman, the same way you woke up as Viceroy Holtan Wu, lucky bastard"
"Oh my, you are serious" Lucas said still in shock. "How is that even possible? How is any of this possible? How are we here and not back in Tokyo, where we should be?"
"I have no idea, man, I can't seem to wrap my head around it either" I admitted. Truly, this, everything that has happened is entirely strange—like something out of a fiction, sci-fi story or something.
"Wait, wait, lets calm down and understand what exactly we are in" Lucas said, causing me to deadpan him a serious look, I am obviously already calm, he is the one who needs to calm down here.
"The best theory at the moment is that our collision with the car that happened at the same time with the thunder, probably mirrored some kind of collision of high magnitude here causing a ripple in the time and space continuum, leading to a sort of mix up or exchange in our spirit or souls or something, thus our body swap" I said, trying to explain the fresh theory in my head as best as I could, it may sound completely fictitious but it is the best we have at the moment.
"What?! That doesn't make any sense" Lucas said, his disbelieving face looking more like his real self than the Viceroy in this moment. I knew he would have a hard time believing the theory, being always so realist and practical as he is, but this bogus, fictitious theory just might be our reality at the moment.
"This is not some movie, Han, think" He said
"I know it's not, but unless you have something better it is the best we've got" I told him, "And who knows, it might not be far from the truth of what exactly happened"
Lucas was quiet in thought for some minutes, considering my theory, before he spoke again "So, let me get this straight, the collision of our vehicle with the other vehicle that happened timely with the thunder must have been happening at the same time some collision of similar magnitude was happening where which involved our new personas, leading to some body swap of sorts. Did I get that right?"
"Just about that, yeah"
"So I swapped bodies with the Viceroy and you with a maid?" Lucas asked, his calculative millionaire business man mind can be rather slow at the worst times, like now.
"Yes, Lucas! Catch up! If I didn't know you better, I would have thought you just want to rub the fact that am a maid in my face, but alas, I know better and know your brain is just being rather slow as it is fond of being" I say
"Shut up, my brain is not slow"
"Fine, I will break it down" I start, like he asked me to break it down for him, he didn't, but I know he still doesn't fully understand. "You swapped with the Viceroy, lucky for you, while I swapped with this maid—who is now called Hanna and is rather pretty, might I add"
Lucas scoff at me calling my new body pretty, which she is—I mean I am, still rather confusing honestly.
"What? You cannot deny that she is pretty" I say twirling a bit, "I mean I always knew I would be a showstopper as a woman" I add to add to the discomfort Lucas is obviously feeling at the moment, I mean when the universe doesn't give you much, you appreciate the little you get—and flaunt it if needs be.
Then suddenly I am reminded of the blood coming out of my lady parts, a sure telling that I am truly a woman here, in this world. I still have to do something about it, I am creating quite a small puddle at the moment.
"That is true," I say aloud, suddenly thinking of something
"What?" Lucas ask looking less in discomfort now, obviously interested in what I would say next.
"Now that I am in a woman's body and seeing the monthly visitor, does that mean that I can also give birth in this world?" I ask, then I think about it and add, "To give birth though, I have to get pregnant and to get pregnant is by sleeping with a man, gross" I grimace at the thought of that, even in a woman's body, I am not in any way attracted to men.
"Yeah, gross" Lucas reiterates, "And why would you even be thinking of getting pregnant if there was any other way, children are complete headache" Lucas scoffs, shaking his head.
And then it hits me, what is missing in the picture. We were three in the vehicle, if Lucas is here and so am I, then where is…
"Oh my God, Lucas!" I suddenly exclaim
"What?!"
"Where is Lilly?!"
