Barbara & Diane

Synopsis:
Barbara has been in a coma for some time after collapsing in a pre-trial hearing for a big corporate lawsuit. She has been a happy vegetable ever since, that is, until Diane was in a serious car accident and went flat line on a gurney outside of Barbara's room. Fate has intervened: Diane wakes up in Barb's body and Barb finds herself outside of herself and able to chat with Diane. Barb is totally disgusted that Diane, a common guttersnipe, is inhabiting her body and awake, no less. They share a few choice arguments, until they discover to their mutual dismay that they both have the same two-timing boyfriend. They team up and bring him down.

Princess In Training, A

Synopsis:
Once upon a time in the far away Kingdom of New York in the Crystal City, there was born a little princess. Sad to say this little princess was born with an evil curse upon her head, for she was born into the body of a little prince. all the days of her little life, she wanted to play with the other little girls of the court, but alas it was not to be, for it was considered improper conduct for a young prince. When she became a young maiden in her teens she looked for answers to her questions. She scoured the shelves of the royal library and after a great deal of reading she discovered that the curse that had befallen her was really quite a common curse (that is, as curses go). after finishing her royal schooling, she decided to serve her country and King, and was confronted with the harsh realities of the world outside the kingdom. Deciding to be as honorable to her royal family as possible, she decided to embrace her Princely persona as best she could. She went off to fight wars. She served with much zeal and great bravery! after the war she returned home to take a bride and to settle down as any good prince should do.
