Title: "Prison or Pair of Perils?"
---
"You did what?!" I nearly screamed into the phone.
"My buddy, I need your help again," Ryan said, sounding more sheepish than usual.
"That's the third time this month, Ryan," I grumbled. "What did you do this time, rob a pet store?"
"Worse," he muttered, "stole a llama."
I paused, blinking in disbelief. "A llama?"
"Yeah, well, she looked lonely."
"Ryan, buddy, stealing is stealing. Did you really expect the police would just let it slide because the llama needed a friend?"
"Not really," Ryan admitted, "but I was hoping for some leniency."
I let out a deep sigh. Ryan was not only an expert in magnetizing trouble but also in wearing out my patience. Unfortunately, he was incredibly adept in both.
"So are you gonna bail me out or what?"
An idea sparked in my mind, the kind that strikes right when you're about to do something incredibly stupid. "No, Ryan. This time, I'm trying something different. Consider it a life lesson."
"A life lesson? Do I get a book for it?"
"No, but you might get a new perspective," I replied, grabbing an old dusty spellbook from my shelf.

Later that evening, I met up with Stephanie at our favorite coffee shop. She was chattering away about her day; I, on the other hand, couldn't concentrate because I had a whole possession spell to execute.
"And then I told my boss, 'No way am I working Saturdays!'" she said with an exaggerated flourish.
"Right, that's fascinating, Steph. Excuse me for just a second; I need to use the restroom," I muttered, clutching the ancient tome hidden under my jacket.
"Sure! Don’t take too long; I've got more stories!" she beamed.
I slipped into the restroom, opened the book to the marked page, and channeled my inner sorcerer. "Spirito et corpore, change thy face, join his soul with her embrace!"
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, a whirl of magical energies, and I found myself back at the table with Steph—or was it Ryan now?
"Hey, I'm back!" I said a little too cheerfully, considering my date now housed my best friend's soul.
"Uh," 'Steph' blinked, eyes wide with confusion. "What the... John?"
"Hey, buddy!" I grinned.
"Why... uh, why do I have..." Ryan's voice trailed off as "Steph" touched her chest in bewilderment.
"Yeah, consider yourself officially 'bailed out,'" I said, sipping my coffee. "And you're welcome."
"I have... boobs!" Ryan's voice, pitchy due to the feminine form, barely contained the shock.
"Yup, Steph's got a lovely pair, don’t you think?"
He—she—Ryan glanced around nervously. "You... you can change me back, right?"
"Well, see, that's the thing. The spell's sort of... permanent," I said.
"P-Permanent?" my friend-turned-date shrieked, causing a few patrons to glance over with raised eyebrows.
"Better than prison, right?" I waggled my eyebrows.
Ryan's—Stephanie’s—eyes filled with a mixture of fury and resignation. "John," she hissed, "you do realize what you've just done, don't you?"
"Relax," I said. "You’ve always complained about your dating life. Now you get to experience the other side!"
"Other side?" she squealed. "I'm a girl now, a girl with... accessories!"
"Hey, think of it as character development," I shrugged. “And who knows, maybe you’ll meet some nice guys.”
She glared at me as only a woman who used to be your best friend could. “You’re gonna pay for this, John. Big time.”
"Look, it’s better than sharing a cell with a llama," I said, standing up. "Dinner’s on me tonight. You’ve got a lot to get used to, and trust me, you’ll need the fuel."
Ryan, still awkwardly running his—her—hands along her curves, finally sighed in resignation. "Better enjoy it while it lasts," she muttered.
And thus, Ryan began his new life as Stephanie, navigating the peculiar trials of femininity instead of the cold, hard life behind bars.
At least I wouldn't have to bail him out of jail anymore, but only time would tell if I’d regret this more than he would.
"Hey, Steph," I smirked. "How do you feel about cuddling llamas?"

Prompt: Write a story with dialogue where My friend was always getting himself into trouble. He went to jail again today and now he wants me to bail him out. I didn’t want to pay, so I thought I’d get him back and punish him at the same time. I read a possession spell and through his soul into the body of the girl I was on a date with. My date is a curvy woman with a nice pair of boobs. My friend is stuck as her forever but it beats prison right.
