Sure, here is the story based on your prompt:

I leaned back in my seat, watching as my new secretary rifled through some papers on her desk. It was impossible not to notice the subtle way her blouse strained against her ample chest, and I had to bite back a grin. This was Buddy—or rather, Buddy 2.0—my old friend and auto mechanic, now occupying the body of a southern Hooters waitress. The Great Shift had been many things, but predictable wasn’t one of them.

"Hey, Bud," I called out, trying to sound casual. "How's it going over there?"

Buddy looked up, her golden curls bouncing as she did. "Ya'd never believe how much trouble these dang bras are, man," she drawled, her lips curving into a pout. "Keeps pinchin' an' ridin' up. Can't get a minute's peace!"

I chuckled. Buddy's old self was still in there, wisecracks and all, just dressed up in a far sexier package. "You sure you're alright? I mean, office work's kinda different from fixing cars."

"Ah, ain't nothin' to it. Paper, computer, phone—same ol' stuff, different desk. Though, I gotta say, this curvy figure's a bit of a distraction around here. Like that Dave fella. Didn't Huerta fur hours."

"Yeah, Dave can be a bit of a—how would you put it—dog?"

Buddy laughed, a sweet, melodious sound that was entirely new but comforting in its familiarity. “That’s puttin’ it mildly! He’s got eyes like a hound dog, followin’ every little move I make. Gonna hafta tell him to cut it out or I’ll be usin’ my high heels as a weapon!”

I blinked at the mental image of Buddy, in heels, chasing around Dave. Then, quickly redirected my thoughts. "You know, Bud, there's a game tonight. Thought maybe we could grab some pizza, watch it at my place. You in?"

Buddy’s eyes lit up, instantly bringing back the spark I recognized from countless nights we’d spent talking sports. “Heck yeah! I’m always up for some good ol’ football and greasy pizza. Just like the old days, huh?”

“And better, since now I’ve got the hottest secretary in the office to hang out with,” I teased, waiting to see her reaction.

Buddy rolled her eyes, a move that was unmistakably him despite the new packaging. “Don’t you go gettin’ all sweet on me, now. I ain’t forgotten ‘bout all them times you left me hangin’ with the beers.”

I raised my hands defensively. “Hey, I make no promises—but tonight, I’ll buy the drinks. Deal?”

Buddy leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs in a way that caught Dave's attention from across the room. She shushed him with a stern glare before nodding my way. "Deal, partner. But you better not chicken out on the wings this time.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” I grinned. “See you at seven?”

“Seven it is,” she drawled back, scribbling something down on a sticky note with a flourish. As she pushed it over to me, her smile widened. “Don’t be late, cowboy.”

I took the note, my heart racing just a bit faster than usual. This was Buddy, same as always, just wrapped up in a very unexpected—and undeniably groovy—package. And as I turned back to my work, I found myself looking forward to that pizza and game in a way I hadn’t in years.
