Story Title: Swapped at Birth
It was just another splendid Sunday. My roommate, Brett, was firing up the grill out on our balcony, the musty and tantalizing scent of smoky barbecue butterflying through the air. After a while, he crashed onto our rickety couch, controller clutched in one hand – it was a typical Sunday afternoon at 36 Cypress Street.
Brett was your everyday 25-year-old guy, completely engrossed in the thrills of video games, bottles of booze, and, most notably, his infamous charm that seduced women into his narratives with ease. Little did either of us know that this ordinary Sunday was about to become extraordinarily unusual.
A shrill ring interrupted the gunfire emanating from Brett's game. He picked up his phone and after a series of "Uh huh's" and "What?! Seriously?!" he fell into silence, staring blankly at the quiet screen. As the minutes ticked by, the room filled with an eerie silence while Brett was still frozen, as if he'd become a fixture of the room.
"Brett," I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, "What's wrong?"
It took him a while before he managed to get the words out. "Apparently, I was part of some experimental Swapped at Birth program when I was in the nursery. I – I was swapped with a girl... named Courtney."
"Wait, what?" I finally managed to blurt out, my brain spinning on its axis. "You're saying your body –?"
"Yeah." Brett nodded curtly, the assurance in his eyes shaking me to the core. "My original body... was female. An ultra-busty and curvy woman."
The development was staggering. Imagining my best friend, the beer chugging, sports-loving womanizer as a voluptuous woman was a concept so unfathomable it could have been borrowed from the pages of a Sci-fi novel.
Over the next few days, Brett's transition was discomforting, to say the least, as he slowly accepted his original self. His curvy hips, and the generous bustline were definitely an odd sight in contrast with his continuing love for sports, video games, and grilled food. I tried to be as supportive as I could, and even got him an apron reading, "Yes, I know not only the burgers have buns, I do too," as a joke.
But beneath the jesting behavior, I was battling a whirlwind of emotions. Brett had always been my best friend, and now he was Courtney. Her personality was still the same – still charming, still funny, still my best friend – but the shell was drastically different.
Then, while wrestling with my Playstation controller, Courtney chimed, "Come on, buddy, don't look so glum. It's still me. And hey, you always complained about needing more girls around!"
And there it was – the brilliant laugh, the sparkling eyes. It was still Brett, no matter how she looked on the outside. It was still my best friend, and that was what truly mattered. Despite all the odds and the societal norms we were careening through, we decided to adapt. After all, in a world with body swapping, what's a little friendship between genders?

Prompt: Write a story with dialogue where My roommate was your regular run of the mill 25-year-old guy. He liked video games, booze, and especially women. But his life came to a shocking turn when he got a phone call saying he was swapped at birth, the swapped at birth program was an experimental program that swapped peoples bodies at the nursery he apparently had been swapped with a girl named Courtney. It got even more crazy when he saw the body he was supposed to have been ultra busty and curvy. I’m not sure how I’m going to room with him looking like this, I don’t think I can handle that. At least he still has the same personality he loves sports and loves to play a good video game he also can still grill like a champ. I bought him a new apron as a joke that says Yes, I know not only the burgers have buns I do too, of course referring to his curvy ass. It's hard to believe my best friend was supposed to be a sexy woman his whole life.
