Why this must be read:

Okay, suspend your disbelief for a moment: imagine a world where Danny and Casey switch bodies. No, really. No, really. They get dressed in each other's clothes. They go to work and pretend to be each other. Casey notices Kim's shoes. Dan flirts with Casey, or with himself, depending on how you look at it. And then they switch back. And if you imagine a world where this could happen, well, this story is pretty much what it would look like.



Oddly enough, it wasn't that hard to get through the day. They just made a simple announcement at noon rundown.

"I have changed my name," Dan-in-Casey's-body announced before the rundown started. "I am no longer Casey McCall, I am now Dan Rydell."

Dana watched Dan closely. "You do remember the rule about no April Fools' pranks, right, Casey?"

"Dan," Dan corrected. "It's not an Aprils Fool Day thing, Dana. It's an argument between him," Dan pointed at Casey-in-Dan's-body, "and me."

Natalie stared at him. "So now there's two Dan's?"

Casey knew his cue. "No. I'm not Dan anymore. I'm going to be Casey."

"Okay," Dana said slowly, looking from one to the other. "But we can still use yesterday's names on the show's graphics, right?"

"Sure," Dan replied.

"So, he's Dan, and he's Casey," Dana said, pointing at each one of them. "We don't care why they're doing this, but they're the talent, so let's indulge them. Everyone okay with that?"

There was a general murmur of shrugs and 'whatever's, and then the rundown went as smoothly as it always did. Well, it was no worse than it normally was.



This is my last rec in this fandom for the month, and I couldn't resist ending with this story. As the story summary says: "every fandom needs at least one body-swapping story."
