### A New Kind of Normal
"Hey, Alex! Over here!" shouted the all-too-familiar voice of my newly-formed female friend, Max. I turned to find him—her—bouncing towards me with an energy that was unmistakably Max, but in a body that was anything but.
"Max, how are you adjusting?" I asked as we met by our usual bench in the park. It's been a few weeks since Max got caught in the gender wave, the latest scientific attempt to rebalance the world's male-heavy population.
Max flipped her long, dark hair over her shoulder, flashing a grin. "I'm good, you know? I mean, it's weird, but I'm getting the hang of it." She laughed in that same unmistakable Max laugh—loud, contagious, and a little bit obnoxious.
I couldn't help but stare at her new form. It wasn't just that Max was now Maxine; she was stunning. Long, luscious brunette hair, a chest that turned heads, and curves that seemed to defy physics. But the glint in her eyes was still the same old Max.
"You look...amazing," I admitted, feeling a bit bashful.
Max smirked playfully. "Oh, I know. It's like being a walking distraction. On the bright side, people buy me drinks a lot more often now," she chuckled, nudging me with an elbow. "But forget about that. Did you see last night's game? The Giants crushed it!"
I shook my head and laughed. "You are the only person I know who can change genders and still be more excited about football than anything else."
"Hey, some things never change," she said, taking a swig from her water bottle. "But look at these babies," she lifted her arms to give me a peek at her newly manicured nails, gleaming in the sunlight.
"I never thought I'd see the day where Max would be into manicures," I teased.
"It's kind of relaxing, you know? Plus, if I have to look at these hands all the time, they might as well be pretty," Max quipped, winking. "Speaking of which, I've got an appointment for a blowout at three. Wanna tag along?"
"No, thank you," I said hurriedly. The thought of inhaling salon fumes for an hour did not appeal to me. "But you do you. Just don't forget about our study session later."
Max pouted dramatically, another new habit. "You're no fun. I bet you'd love it if you tried."
"I'll take your word for it. Just promise me you won't miss an entire afternoon watching make-up tutorials on YouTube again," I said with a mock stern expression.
Max rolled her eyes, the glint of humor still there. "Scout's honor. But don’t pretend like you didn't enjoy the smoky eye look I gave you. Admit it, I did a great job."
"It was an experience, alright." I chuckled but then turned serious for a moment. "Seriously though, Max, I know this can't be easy. I'm really impressed with how you're handling it."
Max relaxed, her smirk turning into a sincere smile. "Thanks, Alex. Honestly, it's been weird and—yeah, tough sometimes. But it's just another curveball, right? Life’s full of them. At least I get to go through it with my best friend."
"Like I'd let you face this insanity without me," I said, clapping a hand on her shoulder. "We'll figure out this new normal together."
She flashed that trademark Max grin again, and we lapsed into easy conversation about school, sports, and everything in between. We might have been living in a world where science could shift genders and uproot lives, but some things—like friendship—remained solid as ever.
"So, how do you feel about tacos for dinner?" she asked casually.
I laughed. "I see the gender wave didn’t change your appetite either."
"Never will," Max declared triumphantly, leading the way to our favorite taco stand, the two of us unapologetically navigating our strange yet beautifully human world.

Prompt: Write a story with dialogue where, there was a strange thing happening in the world, for some reason for the past few years only boys were being born. Scientist haven’t been able to figure it out, but they’ve come up with a new idea. The gender wave, about 20 percent of men are going to become women. My friend became one of those men. He ended up getting a super busty and curvy brunette body. He also became super flirty and liked to flirt with me. He does keep lots of his normal personality though he still likes boobs, booze, and football, even in his new ultra busty and feminine frame. He also gets some feminine traits he loves getting his nails done and loves to put on makeup and do his hair as well, that's always a bit strange. Its great having such a hot but funny friend. It kills me when he tries to do impressions from his feminine body as well. It's a strange new world but I'm happy my friends dealing with this so well.
