Discovering the Machine, part 2

I can't stop looking at myself now, it's even more of a change than Henry went through! 

Perhaps I should begin where I last left off.  Enjoy the selfie up there for a minute.  Alright, here we go.  After Henry explained to me what the machine did to him and his brother, we heard footsteps behind us.  We turned and there we saw Henry's brother next to the extremely muscular police officer, Officer Ryan Burgess.  Officer Burgess lived in our neighboorhood and was seen at many of the neighboorhood cookouts.

"Henry? Tyler?  You do realize that this house is still private property, right?  And trespassing is illegal," he told us. 

"We're sorry," Henry said. 

"Then explain to me why your brother here is saying this isn't the first time you've been here?"

"Uhhh..." Henry began, and he started explaining what his brother had done.  While he did so, Officer Burgess began looking around the lab room, and soon he stood near a pod.  Henry had followed him while he explained, and when the officer turned his back to him I saw his eyes light up and I knew what he would do. 

With his new strength he pushed the officer into the pod, and the door sealed behind him.  We heard him banging and shouting at the door.

"Why'd you do that?!" I shouted.  "He's gonna kill us!"

"Oh, hush up," he said.  "I have a feeling he'll be very understanding in a few minutes."  Suddenly, he'd picked me up and stuffed me into the other pod.

"Hey!" I said.  Suddenly, everything was blindingly bright, and I passed out.  Moments later, I awoke feeling heavy.  "Oh, no..." I muttered. 

The door on the pod slid open, and I stepped out.  I looked over to see Officer Burgess's head on my body step out. 

"Are you okay, Officer?" Henry said to him.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," he said.  "Anyways, I'll let you boys off with a warning this time cause I know you.  But if you trespass here again, there will be consequences."

His face became less serious.  "But boys will be boys.  Even if they look like men," he laughed.  He walked away with Henry's brother.

I turned to Henry, shocked.  "What. The. Hell?!"

He grinned at me. "I didn't finish telling you about this place.  After I'd swapped accidentaly, I found a control panel.  It had an easy User interface, so in short order I figured I could do a ton of stuff, such as choose if either participant was aware of changes.  Only you, myself, and my brother recognize a change in you and Officer Burgess.  Something to do with pheromones you two emit that alter memory.  I think I programmed it so Burgess just got promoted to Police Chief so he'll be in a desk job and won't see much action. Honestly, your body was a teenage body so it'll burn fat faster.  It'll be healthier for him in the end." 

My mouth hung open.  "Dude." 

"You can always switch back... but I figured you'd enjoy his body for a while," he said then muttered, thinking I couldt hear him,"sowouldi."

I grinned.  We'd both known the other was gay, and I figured these bodies were hot enough for a breach of friendship protocol.  Minutes later he was undoing "my" uniform as we touched each other. This machine is going to be great...
