Title: "Identity Swap Chronicles"

**Title: Swapped Lives**

**Genre: Adventure/Comedy**

**FADE IN:**

**INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY**

**(The room is cozy, filled with family photos, typical of suburban bliss. A large couch sits in the middle, a coffee table strewn with magazines and remote controls.)**

**NARRATOR (V.O.)**
(As upbeat music plays quietly)
I always thought life was pretty straightforward. Meet someone, fall in love, get married, and ride into the sunset. But recently, life decided to throw me a major curveball.

**CUT TO:**

**INT. BEDROOM - MORNING**

**(A full-length mirror stands beside a neatly made bed. A man, MIKE (30s), stands in front of the mirror holding a piece of paper, looking confused and anxious.)**

**NARRATOR (V.O.)** (cont'd)
Mike here, husband, best friend, average joe. And that paper in my hand? It held the news that turned my world upside down.

**MIKE**
(To himself, reading aloud)
"The Swapped at Birth Program was a secret initiative by the government... bodies swapped at birth for compatibility testing." This can't be real.

**(He crumples the paper in frustration and tosses it into the wastebasket.)**

**CUT TO:**

**INT. BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS**

**(A stunning woman, SARAH, stands in front of a mirror. She is clearly examining the curves of her body, looking both confused and fascinated. Focus on her face - MARK, Mike’s best friend, now inhabits this body.)**

**MARK (as SARAH)**
(Lifting up a piece of lingerie, amusing himself)
Well, hello there! (Giggling, then more serious) Gotta get used to these...

**(He clumsily pulls on the lingerie, admiring himself in the mirror.)**

**CUT TO:**

**INT. GARAGE - DAY**

**(SARAH (formerly Mike’s wife, now MARK), is under the hood, fixing an old car. She looks completely at ease, a clear departure from her previous persona.)**

**SARAH (as MARK)**
(Talking to herself, adjusting engine parts)
Who knew being a guy came with such perks?

**(There's a knock at the garage door, and Mike enters, looking uncertain.)**

**MIKE**
Hey, Sarah—uh, Mark... How's it going?

**SARAH (as MARK)**
(Dusts off hands, smiling)
You can call me Mark. I think I’m getting the hang of this.

**MIKE**
(Almost whispering)
I can see that...

**(Mike scratches his head, clearly distressed.)**

**SARAH (as MARK)**
Look, bud, I know it’s weird. But hey, I’m enjoying fixing things. And have you seen how happy Sarah—uh, Mark—uh, your best friend is now?

**MIKE**
Yeah, I walked in on him... I mean her... trying on lingerie this morning.

**SARAH (as MARK)**
(laughing)
Should I be worried?

**MIKE**
(Grumbles, jokingly)
Should be me worrying. He keeps calling me 'dude' and 'bro.'

**CUT TO:**

**INT. KITCHEN - EVENING**

**(The family is having dinner. SARAH (as MARK) is wolfing down food, while MARK (as SARAH) delicately sips soup and glances at his—her reflection in the spoon.)**

**MARK (as SARAH)**
You know (pauses, thinking)—bro, I mean Mike, you’ve always been my best buddy. And well, things don’t have to be awkward... right?

**MIKE**
(Trying to smile)
Yeah, dude, totally. Just... just a total adjustment is all.

**SARAH (as MARK)**
(With mouth full)
More than you know.

**CUT TO:**

**EXT. PARK - DAY**

**(The three of them - MIKE, MARK as SARAH, and SARAH as MARK - are hanging out. They look more like a makeshift family trying to make it work.)**

**NARRATOR (V.O.)**
As the days went by, the surrealness of it all didn’t exactly disappear. But we were finding a new rhythm. And who knows? Maybe someday we’ll all get truly used to it.

**(There’s laughter, awkward hugs, and a sense of newfound adventure in their faces. As they walk off into the proverbial sunset...)

**FADE OUT:**

**THE END**

**(The upbeat tune continues, slowly fading as credits start to roll.)**

**NARRATOR (V.O.)** (cont'd)
Life’s crazy, isn’t it? You never know what to expect. But maybe that’s the fun of it.

**CREDITS ROLL.**
