When life gives you lemons, they say you should make lemonade. But no one ever sticks around for the part where life puts those lemons through a magical juicer and turns your roommate into a bombshell blonde. As incredible as a kaleidoscope on acid, that wish upon a star brought us more than we bargained for.
There we were, my friend Mike and I, barely scraping by, deliberating over expired ramen packets and fearful of eviction. So, in a moment of desperation tinged with lunacy, we wished for wealth on the first star we saw that night. Picture it: a foggy old balcony, two broke dudes, and a star barely visible through the smog. Romantic? Hardly. It was our Hail Mary.
Fast forward to the crack of dawn, I woke up still cradling my sorry excuse for a mattress. Everything seemed as depressingly normal as ever. That was until I heard this bloodcurdling scream from Mike's room. The kind that makes vampire bats reconsider their lifestyle choices.
I stumbled into Mike's room, tripping over my own feet in panic. And there, sitting on his bed, was the most insanely gorgeous blonde I'd ever seen - the kind you usually only see on magazine covers or your wildest dreams. With giant hooters, a great ass, and a deer-in-the-headlights look that seemed vaguely familiar.
"It's me, bro!" she—it—no, actually she—said, her voice a confusing blend of Mike's usual snark and high-pitched anxiety.
"Prove it," I stammered, crossing my arms like some dollar store detective.
"Ya still owe me twenty bucks from poker night three weeks ago. And you cried when we watched Toy Story 3," she retorted. "You, uh, still believing your eyes?"
It took a few more rounds of deeply personal questions, a secret handshake, and me stubbornly pinching myself, but I was eventually convinced. Mike had somehow been transformed into a walking, talking thirst trap by our starry wish. Talk about a plot twist.
Now, listen. We weren't about to look a gift horse in its perfectly chiseled mouth. Mike—now Mikaela—seemed to take to the idea like a duck to water. Or like an Instagram model to overly-filtered selfies.
"Alright, we need a plan," I declared, tapping into some hidden reservoir of optimism. "You’ve got the body for a top-tier model or a TikTok star. I’ll be your manager and cameraman!"
Mike—Mikaela—flipped her newly acquired hair with surprisingly natural grace. "Aight, I guess I'll be, like, the next big thing. How about... 'Mikaela Storm'? Sounds hella hot, right?"
Transformative star wishes or not, there’s no way we were about to let go of our sacred poker night with the guys. When they saw Mikaela for the first time, they were gobsmacked to say the least. Every poker night turned into "Grill Mikaela About Her Boobs Night." But Mikaela, in true Mike fashion, handled it like a champ.
"Okay, Mikaela, are they real?" Ted asked, almost reverently.
"Oh, absolutely. Imported from the finest factory in the galaxy. I had a coupon," she replied nonchalantly.
"What's it like having huge knockers?" Rich inquired, eyes practically bulging out of his socket.
"Awesome? If you don't mind shoulder pain and unsolicited advice from strangers," Mikaela deadpanned.
"Ever thought of getting them insured?" asked Jimmy.
"Yep. Just waiting on Elon Musk to hit me up with the best interplanetary boob insurance," she smirked.
In a weird way, it worked out. Mikaela was the cash cow we’d hoped for, my photography skills got a boost, and poker night had never been more interesting. Turned out sometimes a wish upon a star wields more than gold coins and treasure chests. In our case, it delivered economic stability laced with bewildering boob talk.
Life was never the same again. And if that star grants wishes again, who knows? Maybe I’ll wish for wings. Or at least a mattress that doesn’t look like a grubby doormat.

Prompt: Me and my friend were going through tough times. We struggled to pay rent on time and it looked like we might have to move out to an even cheaper house. We saw a star in the sky and we both made a wish for wealth on it. Well magical wishes work in mysterious ways. When I work up in the morning everything was normal. I was still in my same dirty bed still in my regular clothes. I heard a bloodcurdling scream from my friend’s room though. When I ran inside I saw the most insanely gorgeous blonde I had ever seen in my life sitting there with giant hooters and a great ass. She claimed she was my friend but I didn’t believe her at first it took a few questions before I actually believed it. He had the perfect body for a model or a TikTok star. It gave me a perfect idea to make some money. He could model I’ll even be his camera man. He picked out a super hot new name for himself as a model. We also still invite the guys over for poker night. Most of the time its just the guys asking him question about his boobs he doesn't mind answering them but he makes up snarky and bullshit answers for all of the questions. Give my friend a 25 year old guy accent
