I wish I could say it all happened in slow motion, but honestly, the remote hit the tile with a sharp *crack* before I could even gasp. All it took was that one moment—and the world spun, blinking in colors so strange I thought the pool lights had shorted out. When it settled, the only thing that seemed normal was the summer air thick with chlorine.

Except...she was sitting beside me on the edge of the pool, laughing at her own joke, wringing out her hair. Except it wasn’t a she—at least, not as far as my memories served.

But I remembered. The remote had swapped everyone, except me.

I tried to breathe and not stare, but my friend Jamie had transformed into a drop-dead gorgeous redheaded stunner. There was a riot of bright curls cascading past her shoulders, eyes sharp and mischievous, body poured into a rainbow floral bikini that clung and revealed *way* more than I was used to seeing at the pool—or ever. Her bikini top was working overtime, and her bottom left no curve to the imagination, plus she had a confidence about her that, somehow, seemed very much like Jamie.

She leaned over, elbowing me. “Yo, you gonna get in already or are you gonna sit there frying like a little wuss?” Her voice was low and familiar, but the words felt strange from lips painted bright coral, and with that body, it was—well, it was weird.

“Uh… Jamie?” I started, my voice wavering between panic and disbelief.

Jamie grinned wider, flicking a bead of water at me with a perfectly manicured hand. “What, you forget my name already? You get too much sun or something, dork?”

I blinked. “I, uh—no, it’s just—” How was I supposed to say “You’re a guy! Or you were…!”

Then Jamie stood and stretched, arms above her head, her bikini top shifting dangerously. “Dude, you’re being mad weird. C’mon, chicken, get in. It’s prime chlorine time.” Her hips cocked to the side—her?—and I caught myself gawking. I closed my mouth, trying not to blush.

She strutted over to her bag and dug around, pulling out her wallet. “Hey, check this out! Got my new license. Bet you mine’s hotter than yours. Ha!”

She flashed the card at me before tucking it back away. The photo was, well, stunning—Jamie’s new face, all cheekbones, emerald eyes, and, yes, a whole lot of exposed cleavage. Her name, Jamie Davis. Under sex: **M**. Height: 5’9". Measurements: **38-28-40**. Birthday matched. Her whole life, boiled down to one glossy rectangle, *but still marked male.* I almost laughed—except I was too freaked out to be amused.

I stammered, “It says, uh…M?”

Jamie cackled. “Hell yeah, I told you,” she said, flexing a tanned arm, which seemed even more ridiculous on a model’s body. “Still me, bro, just perfected by puberty and protein shakes. Now get in, you loser.”

She hip-checked me, her flamboyant bikini slipping upward. I caught sight of a stretch mark, the kind you get if you’ve always been this—curvy, and then it hit me.

I thumbed through my phone’s gallery. Beach trip at age eight—Jamie, back then, next to my much scrawnier childhood self. Except now, the picture showed this same busty, statuesque redhead, in a one-piece with a neon swim skirt—undeniably the same face as the new Jamie, laughing, arm slung around me.

I scrolled further. Birthday party, age twelve: Jamie, blowing out candles, curly hair tied in a huge red ponytail, wearing some too-tight t-shirt, a badge that said “birthday queen” even though the cake had dinosaurs on it. Yearbook photo, sophomore year: same killer smile. Same, except her proportions were already exaggerated. In every memory. In every picture.

Jamie called to me from the pool, splashing water. “Dude, quit looking at your phone and get in here! I’ll totally cannonball and soak your phone, so don’t tempt me.”

I stammered again, “You, uh—don’t you think anything’s weird?”

She rolled her (her?) eyes. “What, that you never wanna swim? Nah, that’s classic you.”

I swallowed hard. I tried to think if this was some sort of cosmic prank. Could I fix it? I scanned the broken remote, the shattered plastic and exposed wires. It looked hopeless.

Jamie called out, “Hey! Bet you five bucks I can outswim you to the deep end and back.” She grinned, hair wild, teeth flashing, *her.* “Loser buys slushies.”

I didn’t know what to say, or if I should say anything at all.

She cocked an eyebrow. “Let’s go, slowpoke. Ain’t gonna wait forever.” She dove in, a swirl of red hair and tanned skin, every inch happy in that impossible, swapped body, like nothing had ever been—like nothing was *supposed* to be different.

And I wondered if I was the only one in the world who remembered it any other way, as my best friend resurfaced, laughing, and called my name.

Prompt: 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 Hawaiian flora bikini top showing off a ton on his new massive cleavage and yellow bikini bottoms showing off his cheeky backside 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. He still has the same masculine lingo as well. Also maybe we see my friends new drivers license with his name on it and his measurements but it still says male for sex and he has his new sexy and pretty face showing a ton of cleavage in the photo as well. Also maybe look through some old memories and we see he always has his busty and curvy redheaded body even memories as children he looks exactly the same big boobs and all write a lot of dialogue
