Title: "Shift in the Spectrum"
It had been a weird few years, no doubt about it. The whole world was reeling from the fact that no girls were being born anymore. Scientists scrambled for answers, but it wasn't until they came up with the "gender wave" solution that things took an even stranger turn.
I was sitting in our favorite café, sipping my usual black coffee, waiting for my best friend to arrive. The door chimed as he walked in, turning more than a few heads in the process.
"Yo, Jake!" his voice still had that familiar, boyish charm, despite the drastic changes.
"Hey, Ash!" I waved, watching him glide to our table. He still moved like the clumsy jock I knew, but with the added sway of his new curvy body.
Ash—or Ashley, as he liked to be called now—had been one of the 20 percent chosen. The once rugged 21-year-old guy was now… well, let’s just say he could easily pass for a supermodel. Long, flowing brunette hair, a curvaceous figure, and yeah, let’s not forget the bust that attracted a lot of attention.
"Late night?" I smirked as he sat down across from me, his hand immediately going for his phone to check his reflection.
"You know it," he said, flashing his eyelashes as he pulled out a compact to touch up his lipstick. "God, these things are a pain in the ass, but I kinda love it?” His new voice was soft and lilting, but that same casual drawl was unmistakable.
"Right," I laughed, stirring my coffee. "So, how's being the hottest girl in town treating ya?"
"Oh, you know," he grinned, leaning back and stretching, which seemed to make everyone else in the café a little distracted. "It's crazy, right? Like, I still wanna grab beers and watch football, but now I’m doing it while looking like this!"
"You do seem to be enjoying the attention," I noted. He’d always been a bit of a show-off, but now it was on a whole new level.
"Oh, totally," he said, straightening up and giving me a playful look. "You wouldn’t believe how many free drinks I’ve been getting. And let me tell you, flirting with the guys who have no idea I was one of them—priceless."
"You’re wild, Ash."
"Yeah, but you love it," he winked, taking a sip of his caramel macchiato. "And don't act like you didn’t enjoy checking me out when I walked in. I mean, who wouldn’t?"
I blushed slightly, but I couldn’t argue. "You're definitely... eye-catching."
"Aww, Jakey’s blushing!" he teased, batting his eyelashes dramatically. "You’re adorable."
"Cut it out, man. Seriously, though, how’re you doing with all… this?"
He shrugged, his nail-painted hand waving in a nonchalant circle. "Truth be told, it’s a mixed bag. I miss, you know, the old me sometimes. But this... it’s an adventure. And I get to explore makeup, which, lemme tell you, is like art. My contour game? On point."
I chuckled, shaking my head. "You really have embraced the whole new you, haven’t you?"
"Well, you have to," he smiled softly. "The world's changing, Jake. And honestly? If I didn’t roll with it, I’d go nuts. Plus, can you imagine me missing out on mani-pedis? Blasphemy!"
"It’s good to see you so upbeat," I admitted.
"Thanks, bud," he said, sincerity seeping through the playful exterior. "But come on, we’re not here to get all sentimental. How about we hit that new bar tonight? I heard they've got this amazing new cider."
"Wow, look who’s the bad influence now," I laughed.
"You know it," he grinned, giving me a playful punch on the shoulder. "Just don’t get too jealous if all the guys are all over me."
"Oh, please. Just save some of those free drinks for your pal," I shot back.
"Deal," he said, raising his cup. "To strange new worlds."
"To strange new worlds," I echoed, clinking my coffee mug against his.
As we left the café, I couldn’t help but feel thankful. It was a crazy new world, but at least my friend was navigating it with his characteristic humor and charm. And in some strange, unpredictable way, we were all in this together.

Scientist haven’t been able to figure it out, but they’ve come up with a new idea. The gender wave, about 20 percent of men are going to become women. My friend became one of those men. He ended up getting a super busty and curvy brunette body. He also became super flirty and liked to flirt with me. He does keep lots of his normal personality though he still likes boobs, booze, and football, even in his new ultra busty and feminine frame. He also gets some feminine traits he loves getting his nails done and loves to put on makeup and do his hair as well, that's always a but strange. Its great having such a hot but funny friend. It kills me when he tries to do impressions from his feminine body as well. It's a strange new world but I'm happy my friends dealing with this so well. Make my friend speak with a 21 year old guy accent in his dialogue.
