Chapter One: The Reality Remote
"Hey, look what I found!" I shouted, pulling the shiny object from the chest. My best friend Jack, now in the body of a redhead mum wearing a rainbow-coloured one-piece, turned around. He, now she, was trying to figure out how to work the BBQ grills.
"What's that?" he asked casually, not noticing the sudden increase in pitch of his voice.
"It's a... remote control?" I stifled a laugh, observing the commotion my reality remote had caused. I never intended for it to end this way, bodies swapping left and right, but the absurdity of it all was simply too overwhelming.
Chapter Two: The Twist
"Hey, this thing actually works!" Jack exclaimed suddenly, hoisting a pair of tongs with his new dainty hands. His cigarette-tough vocal cords now carried an elegant lilting tone that was disconcerting.
"I just can't believe it," I said in complete disbelief. "You...don't even realize what’s happened?"
Jack looked at me, completely puzzled. "What are you talking about?" He pushed a messy pile of red curls from his face, revealing a puzzled stare from crystal blue eyes, strikingly different from his regular brown ones.
"Never mind," I sighed, realizing the scope of my remote’s influence: Not only did it switch physical forms, it wiped any suspicion, any recollection of their previous bodies. They weren't just in new bodies; they truly believed they always belonged in these bodies.
Chapter Three: The Realization
"So what does this...reality remote do?" Jack asked, turning a few burgers on the grill. His voluptuous form had already gathered a few appreciative glances at the pool.
"It...changes things," I admitted, thinking about how I had to break this gently to him. "It swaps bodies."
"You're kidding!" Jack chuckled, shaking his head, his new breasts shivering along. "Nah, I've always been this way."
"But you haven't..." I caught myself, knowing it wasn’t going to be an easy explanation.
Chapter Four: Consequences
"What do I do now?" I whispered to myself, as Jack – as everyone – was perfectly comfortable in their new bodies. The remote fell from my hands, shattered and useless. The terrifying power to alter reality was now lost forever. I had intended for an amusing pool party – instead I had rewritten everyone's reality.
In the end, I might have broken the reality remote but it had broken much more. I had expected a pool party and ended up undermining the laws of nature, swapping genders and identities in a cosmic upheaval nobody but me even remembered. It was chaos, but a complacent, oblivious chaos.
But it left me wondering, just what kind of reality is real when it can be altered with a television remote? The reality remote may have shattered but its impact had permanently warped my perception of reality, and perhaps, that was the most significant change of all.

Prompt: write a story with lots of dialogue about When I found a reality remote I didn’t know what to do with it. The reality remote swaps peoples bodies but leaves them unaware of the changes it makes them think they've always had the body they now have. I could change the world in a matter of seconds. I was so excited to use it at the pool with my friend. Unfortunately, I dropped it and it shattered it swapped everyone but me and nobody notices the difference. I can’t seem to fix it. Now my friend is stuck in his redheaded MILF body wearing a rainbow colored one piece showing off a ton on his new massive cleavage and he doesn’t even think it’s wrong that he had the body of a woman even though he’s a guy. this reality remote is insane. write a lot of dialogue
