Leo stepped back into the room, still adjusting the sleeves of the hoodie. Bri was lounging on the bed again, scrolling through something on her phone.

 

“So,” she said, glancing up with a crooked smile. “Minor detail. I’m about to be someone else in, like, five minutes.”

 

Leo—still sitting cross-legged on the beanbag in Syd’s flannel-clad body—blinked. “Come again?”

 

“I’ve got a Swapp scheduled,” Bri said, casual as ever. “A guy named Todd. First-time swapper. He begged me for a few hours in a hot girl body for his psych project or some dumb excuse like that. I said sure. He doesn’t know you’re not Syd, by the way, so just act normal.”

 

“Define normal,” Leo muttered.

 

Bri shrugged. “Don’t say anything too RA-ish, and don’t call him a pervert unless he earns it.”

 

Leo opened his mouth to ask more, but both their phones buzzed.

Swapp Incoming: T⚽️DD🐍 wants to inhabit “Bri 🥀💋” for 4 hours.

 

Bri tapped “Accept” without hesitation.

 

Her eyes fluttered shut for a second. Her whole body seemed to pause mid-breath. Then her posture shifted—slouchy to cocky in the blink of an eye.

 

She opened her eyes again. Smirked.

 

“Oh hell yes.”

 

Todd was here.

 

He looked down at Bri’s hands, flexed the fingers like they were unfamiliar. Then he grabbed one of her boobs.

 

“Oh my god, it’s real.” He bounced it a little. “It’s not even like, floaty porn boobs. It’s got weight.”

 

Leo gawked from the beanbag.

 

Todd glanced over and grinned. “Syd, right? I’ve seen you around. You two live together?”

 

Leo nodded slowly. “Yup. That’s me. Syd.”

 

Todd twisted side to side, watching Bri’s—his—reflection in the window glass with growing delight. “This is insane. Like, I thought it’d feel different, but this is next level. I can feel my hair touching my back. I have hips. My center of gravity’s all wrong in the best way.”

 

He crouched, then stood. “I’m gonna fall over in heels, aren’t I?”

 

Leo cleared his throat. “You planned on going out?”

 

“Nah, not tonight. Just wanted to try it out. Mirror test, y’know?” Todd wiggled his eyebrows. “Maybe a little selfie action. For science.”

 

“Of course,” Leo said dryly.

 

Todd stepped closer and peered into Leo’s face. “Dude, you’re quiet tonight. Usually you and Bri are, like, inseparable. She talk you into swapping too?”

 

Leo hesitated. “Something like that.”

 

Todd smiled and gave a thumbs-up. “Sick. Gender tourism rules. I’m starting a spreadsheet. Gonna call this one ‘Bri: First Contact.’”

 

Leo snorted despite himself. “You’re a lunatic.”

 

Todd gave Bri’s body one last admiring glance. “Nah, I’m enlightened.”

 

He turned back to the mirror and struck a pose like a pin-up girl—then broke into uncontrollable laughter.

 

Leo, still trying to make sense of the whole thing, could only watch.

 

Was this chaos what he had looked like an hour ago?

 

Was Syd in his body right now, judging him just as hard?
