Body Swap Chronicles

I walked around Terminal 5, scanning the faces hurriedly pacing through the airport. The arrival boards flickered about delays and gates, and a digital voice announced flights. But amidst the chaos, I couldn’t spot Mike anywhere. Not his familiar sardonic smile or his old leather jacket. All I could see were strangers.
“Great shift,” I muttered under my breath. Whoever named it must have been a stranger to understatement. The event that had flipped the world upside-down, swapping 70% of the world's bodies like some twisted cosmic roulette. Mike ended up in the body of a girl named Emily from London. Some people got lucky, others…well, others struggled to find their place in the new world.
"Dave, bro, it’s me," came a voice from behind me, a distinctly feminine one with a crisp British accent. Turning, I saw her—a beautiful, busty blonde with a pink roller bag. Emily, or rather, Mike.
She—he—smiled widely and hurried over, pulling me into a hug. "Thanks for letting me stay while I get things sorted," Mike—Emily, whatever—said.
“Yeah, no problem,” I mumbled, still processing. Mike’s eyes still had that mischievous twinkle, but the rest of the package was entirely different. I stared at his—her—pink roller bag. "Uh, got enough luggage?"
"Hey, I wasn’t sure what I’d need. This body comes with an entire wardrobe. And shoes, Dave. So many shoes."
“How many clothes does one person need?” I wondered aloud.
“Heh, you’d be surprised,” Mike said, catching me staring at his—her—chest again. “Eyes up here, Dave. It’s still me.”
“Sorry, it’s just…weird.”
“You think it’s weird for you? Try being me for a day."
We walked towards my car, his—their—roller bag clunking along the tiled floor. Mike continued talking, his snarky tone familiar, if strange coming from Emily’s face.
"You wouldn’t believe how many guys hit on me now," he said with a laugh that sounded unsettlingly light and sweet.
“Oh, yeah?” I asked, distracted as I tried not to trip over his bags.
“Yeah! And don’t get me started on the bathroom situation.”
“What do you mean?” I asked cautiously.
"Oh, you know. Girls’ bathrooms are like sanctuaries. No one’s fighting for the urinals. But also, some stalls don’t lock."
I grimaced, trying not to visualize the mechanics. We reached the car, finally, and I helped load his—her—luggage into the trunk.
Sliding into the driver’s seat, I turned to Mike. “So, how’s Mom taking all of this?”
“She’s managing. It’s hardest on Dad. He’s old-fashioned, you know. But Mom’s strong. She sees past the exterior.”
“Yeah,” I said. “She says it’ll just take time.”
“Time. Yeah, tell that to the next person who mistakes you for someone else.”
“You’ve been mistaken already?”
Mike chuckled. “Once or twice. Ran into Emily’s people once. They were...confused.”
“Not surprised.”
“Dave, we need to talk,” Mike said seriously, looking at me with those familiar, mischievous eyes. “You’re gonna have to deal with it. This body is me now. But I’m still your brother.”
“I know, I know,” I said, starting the engine. “It’s just gonna take some getting used to.”
As we drove away from the airport, the familiar snarky banter filled the car, and somehow, despite the surreal circumstances, I felt a little reassured. The world may have been flipped upside down, and our roles might have swapped, but Mike was still Mike. And we’d face this brave new world together—one awkward, bizarre conversation at a time.

Prompt: Write a story with lots of dialogue where My brother was one of the people who got effected by the great shift which was an event that swapped 70 percent of the worlds bodies. He got put in the body of a girl named Emily who was from London he even got her accent somehow. My mom told me I had to pick him up and let him stay with me. I still don’t know what he looks like for sure. I walk around the airport for awhile to look for him. Until I hear a feminine “Dave, bro its me.” I look over to see a beautiful and busty blonde walking over with a pink roller bag. He smiles and hugs me and thanks me for letting him stay with me while he sorts things out. I just didn't think he would have so many bags I mean how many clothes does he need. I cant stop staring at his boobs he has caught me multiple times and likes to tease me about it. He is still his same joke telling and snarky brother he's always been just with a new much more curvy body.
