OK, this is the final one like this. Bringing it all together I'm taking it the bridge real soon... Here we go:
X and Y
Ian X is a member of the Nation of Islam. Maureen Y is on the Witness Protection programme. (She might be Spanish and always wanting more. Yes, of course this is contrived.) They are both scientists working on chromosome research. Ian X used to be a woman, and Maureen Y a man, and they were married. When they split up, not bearing the thought of anyone else being with the other, they each slipped a potion into their spouse's drink (without knowing the same was being done to them) to change their gender. Ian X is inquisitive, Maureen Y is cross. There is a simmering tension between them, they live in the same house (split down the middle) and continue their valuable work in the same laboratory. They have a child named Zed who is the only sensible head in the madhouse. He tries to bring his parents together on a weekly basis. (NB he calls Maureen, "Dad", and Ian, "Mum", much to his friends' astonishment.) Occasionally they do seem to be nearing a reconciliation, but the moment will be spoilt by Pi, their irrational and wacky lab technician.
