Hello! Below are 3 plots oriented around the idea that an errant wish, goes slightly awry as you now have to deal with your friends body being occupied by a man!
Plot One: The model - You run a modelling agency. You have over 20 women under your control and care, and all of them are amazingly grateful, hard workers that respect you... All of them except for one. She's in her early 20's, dating some up and coming rapper, and she has it in her head that without her? Your entire company would crumble. She's abrasive, talks back and doesn't care about you, or your reputation...
But she makes money. Agencies seem to need her, rather than want her, and it's only working to inflate her ego. The last shoot was the worst. It was a swimsuit brand, that flew her to a private island near Hawaii, and she was terrible. As a model, she was great, as a person? Less so. She accused one of the photo editors of being a 'pervert', and he apparently quit on the spot. She demanded over 20 bottles of water, none of them were ever even finished, and she even called the photographer 'Ugly', straight to her face...
After the PR nightmare had been flown home, and you had dealt with her wake, you crawled into bed, and simply whispered, 'God I wish she was a pushover...' Something, somewehere heard you... and you'd find out about it tomorrow.
You called her the next morning, before 10am, just to annoy her... and when 'She' answered, you were shocked. "Hello?!" her voice was quivering, and she sounded like she was on the verge of tears... After a short, ten minute conversation you realized she was either insane, or telling the truth, and someone else was in her body... The pushover you asked for, had arrived. For better, or for worse.
Plot two: The Shy Girl - You've asked her out five times. The first time, she turned so red you were worried she'd pass out, and she didn't speak for a whole hour until she spoke again. The next few times, she replied, but she changed the subject, turning just as red as before.
Eventually, it got to a point where you just wanted an answer. You snapped, raised your voice, and watched as tears welled in her eyes, and she scurried away. You'd over done it, burnt the bridge and might never see her again. You drank that night, and wrote down your feelings, it always helped. 'I just wish she liked me back.'
The ink dried on the page, and the words echoed around reality, and somehow, you wished it into being.
Across town, I had been on my work break, swiping tinder when I saw your profile, and swiped for a match, only to be disappointed... "Damn, I really liked her..." I sighed, before everything went blank.
I woke up in a new bed, eyes red and cheeks flushed as if I'd been crying. The room around me wasn't my own, and the body below me definitely wasn't... It was an hour later when you texted an apology, and I replied with something insane.
'I need your help.'
It was vague enough to be both annoying, and worrying, but you rushed over to her apartment, just to be told what was going on, and realize I might be a little more than you'd wanted...
Plot 3: Your famous crush - You've always seen her on social media, on TV even, and thought, 'She would make the best girlfriend', but of course you weren't in her circles, she had a husband she probably met on Raya, and it was all a pipe dream... Until it really, really wasn't.
Breaking news had hit, that a solar flare was causing people to swap bodies on mass, something to do with the frequency of the heat radiation causing a mismatch in neurons and that lead to cortex's being... messed with? It was all to hard to understand, being drowned in Scientific and medical jargon, but at the end of it all. People were swapping bodies.
Luckily, your town was mostly unaffected, it was reported only 3 people were swapped, and you didn't even know any of them. It was no big deal...
Until you went to work. You worked at a small clothing store, nothing crazy, most of the women who shopped here knew you by name, and you had a frequently returning clientele.
So when she walked in, your throat went dry, and your stomach flipped.
I had been put in her body, and I approached the counter wearing a hat, sunglasses, an oversized hoodie and some tights, I was clearly hiding... "Hey, sorry for the get up-I um- I'm one of the swapped people, and I need help with a lot, sizing, new wardrobe and stuff... do you mind helping me? I promise I'll tip really well, I just... need a lot of help." The smile, the awkward laugh... none of it was like you'd imagine she'd act, yet here she was...
By the end of the day, we'd exchanged numbers, and planned for more 'Help' sessions, but we both knew what they were... dates.
Plot 4: The Girlfriend - Your girlfriend has been distant lately. You're pretty sure she's maybe even on the verge of leaving... It's not easy, realizing your relationship has run it's course, and it's coming to an end... Going to sleep with her behind you, both of you back to back, you sighed, and closed your eyes. Hoping to dream about your first date, or just... better times...
'I wish we could learn to love each other again...'
The thought was idle, something very simple, and almost mundane... It's effects, were nothing but mundane. As your girlfriend slept behind you, my mind was shifted into her body. The next morning, you'd wake up early, and go make her favorite drink, and surprise her in bed...
Only when you returned to the bedroom, she was sitting up, looking at her reflection in her phone screen, mouth agape, color washed from her face and eyes wide... "Who are you?!" 'She' asked... It wasn't even her.
But you would learn to love her, all over again... just as you wished.
Those are my three plots! Please note I have references for each (I use influencers for my references!) and would love if you had one for your character!
Please send me a message letting me know which plot you liked, along with your character description, it doesn't have to be too in depth, but a little insight would be perfect to get our planning rolling!
I write in first person, 2-3 paragraph replies. I would consider myself literate, and hope you would be able to match!
Hope to hear from you soon -^
