"Switched Up: A Tale of Unexpected Bodies"
0 Points
0
It was just another average Tuesday night—or so I thought. My secret invention, the world's first brain-switching machine, was tucked away safely in my basement, hidden behind a mountain of old boxes and holiday decorations. I had tested it a few times with lab rats (whose sudden proclivity for jazz music was deeply unsettling) but had yet to take the human plunge. There are some places science just shouldn’t leap, after all.
Anyway, my plan to keep the device hidden away failed spectacularly when my buddy Dave joined me for a beer. Dave, whose middle name should be "Curiosity Killed the Cat," decided to venture into uncharted basement territory.
"Hey, what’s this?" Dave asked, an eerie green light illuminating his face.
"Don’t touch that!" I yelled, tripping on the ladder as I scrambled down. But it was too late. He had already nudged the machine, causing electric blue sparks to fly through the room like it was the Fourth of July.
BAM!
The world tilted sideways, and when the dust settled, I was met with two sets of eyes—one confused and accusatory, the other desperate and panicked.
"My chest is massive!" Dave exclaimed in what could only be described as my wife’s voice. He couldn’t stop staring down the front of "his" dress.
"Honey?" My wife, now occupying Dave’s body, glared daggers at me. If looks could kill... well, I’d need a whole new invention to save me.
"Uh, love, this isn’t exactly how I envisioned our Tuesday night going," I said, trying to inject some humor into the situation. Spoiler: it didn’t help.
"Fix it!" my wife bellowed from Dave’s broad-shouldered body.
But Dave, already distracted by his newfound cleavage, was too busy bouncing on the balls of "his" feet to enjoy the boob jiggle. "I could get used to this," he said, managing to sound both impressed and gleefully adolescent at the same time.
This was going to get so much worse before it got any better.
Fast forward an hour, and we were late for our dinner reservation. I managed to find a solid navy dress for Dave—now in my wife’s body—and he daintily picked up her purse with a flair that suggested he was either a very quick learner or had been harboring a secret desire for cross-dressing all these years.
"Remember," my wife-in-Dave’s-body instructed, her eyes narrowed in focus. "You are me. Act like me. And please, don’t do anything... Dave-like."
"I’m Dave in here, not a miracle worker!" Dave muttered, adjusting the neckline of the dress for more optimal cleavage view.
As we stepped into Chez Fancy (yes, actual name), it was like every movie theater scene where the protagonist walks in and the room falls silent. We definitely did not blend in. Worse yet, I didn’t just have one set of judging eyes on me—there were plenty all around.
"Nice legs," Dave commented to the waitress, who looked like she had just been slapped in the face with a talking fish. "Oops, did I say that out loud?"
"Bring the strongest drink you have," my wife-in-Dave’s-body said through gritted teeth.
Dinner unfolded in a series of increasingly awkward moments. Dave belched loudly after taking down his steak in world-record time, causing an elderly couple nearby to just about faint.
"Man, this dress really lets it all hang loose," Dave said, practically chugging a glass of wine. "How do you ladies stand it?"
"If we survive this," my wife growled, "I’m burning that machine."
"Was thinking of getting it patented," I mumbled.
The waitress returned with our check, her shock morphed into a sort of bewildered acceptance. "Anything else tonight?" she asked, eyes darting between the three of us.
"Nope, just my sanity, if you find it lying around somewhere," I said with a sigh.
On the car ride home, I couldn’t help but think there was some upside here. Sure, our evening had been a disaster, but at least my invention worked… spectacularly. If I could just flip them back...
"Okay, now listen very carefully," I said, thinking out loud.
"Sorry, what?" Dave said, snapping out of yet another self-inspection of the new assets.
"We need to switch you both back," I said earnestly. "And no more comments."
"What about one last bounce test?” Dave asked, winking in the rearview mirror.
There are days science moves forward... and then there are days you wish it had stayed in the garage. This was shaping up to be both.

Prompt: write a story with dialogue where things can get really awkward when you invent a brain switching machine. I thought I had kept it pretty well hidden, but unfortunately my buddy found it. He accidentally bumped into it causing a brain swap between him and my wife. He was freaking out at first but I think he enjoys it now, He keeps looking down his dress to get a view of his new giant chest with its incredible cleavage. He has even bounces on the balls of his feet a few times to feel his new boobs bounce. Now we have to head out for dinner he grabs my wife's purse and My wife forces him to put on a nice dress and we head for our dinner reservations. Everyone at the restaurant looks shocked when this prim and proper looking lady sounds like a middle aged man, he comments on the waitresses body and he even belches loudly after eating his steak.
