[ WP ] You wake up feeling dizzy when you notice you are in your best friend/crush 's body ( not that way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) ) . Frantically wondering what 's happening , you are about to call your own phone when their phone rings first with your name on the caller ID .

Ginny and Jon had been friends for as far as as they could remember. Their parents Alex and Selma and David and Judy had been good friends since before they were born. David was quite ecstatic when he found that his wife was pregnant and yet he was hesitating to share the good news with Alex as he and Selma had been trying for some time with no success. His glee knew no bounds when Alex came to him and told him that they were pregnant as well. Considering the circumstances of their birth it was destiny that Ginny and Jon would become such close friends. They played together, they went to school together, they did they homework together. It was an old joke between the two families that Ginny and Jon were as inseparable as conjoined twins. 
 
 Their fates were so intertwined that as teenage approached they even became depressed at the very same time. Selma was very concerned that their once happy, cheerful kids were becoming so mopey and socially aloof. They would only interact with each other, rarely speaking to their parents or going out with other friends, hence Selma's concerns were not baseless. Judy, however, was confident that this was just an'emo' phase that their kids were going through. Puberty can be a stressful time for anybody and there was no point in being overly-concerned as everyone has their own way with dealing with all the new changes happening to them. Selma saw the wisdom in Judy's words yet, she could not shake the feeling that something was amiss. She decided to put stock in Judy's words for now realizing that their kids were not going anywhere and that she could always intervene as and when needed.

 One fine day Jon woke up and realized that something was different. He scanned his surroundings and even though they felt very familiar he was quick to realize that this was not his room and this was not his bed. *It was Ginny's bed*. He woke up in a panic and went to check in the mirror. He was not simply in Ginny's bed. *He was in Ginny's body*. Jon was having a really hard time comprehending what was happening to him. He tried pinching himself, convinced that this was some kind of a bizarre dream, but it was to no avail. Frustrated he sat back down on his bed wondering what to do next when suddenly his phone started ringing. *Ginny's phone started ringing*. 
 
 `` Are you.....'' Jon was a bit surprised to hear his own voice coming through the line but he recognized the manner of it without delay. It was Ginny. 
 
 `` Yup, it's me. This is some freaky friday shit, is n't it?'' Jon replied `` Do you have any clue how this might have happened? See any old witches or wish upon any fortune cookies lately?'' 
 
 `` No clue what so ever'' Ginny laughed. Jon always knew what to say to calm her down. `` I was thinking though, maybe, I do n't know, maybe we should just roll with it. After all, what choice do we have?'' 
 
 Jon knew that she was right. No one knew how this had happened and if they went to their parents claiming that they had been body switched they would either thing they that they were being pranked or that their kids had gone insane. 
 
 Adjusting to this bizarre development turned out to be easier than either of them expected. Ginny taught Jon how do *her* hair while Jon coached Ginny on ways to deal with unexpected boners. Neither of them was quite willing to accept it but the truth was both of them were having a lot more fun than they ever had in their own bodies. 
 
 Meanwhile, although their parents remained clueless about the body switching shenanigans that had happened they did not fail to notice a dramatic change in their kids' behavior. Namely, it seemed as if over night their kids had outgrown their'emo' phase. They seemed to have reverted back to their old cheerful selves and were as outgoing and active as ever. Although they both seemed to have gotten a lot more clumsier than they used to be, Ginny and Jon's parents felt like they had their kids back again.

 A few months went by, Ginny and Jon had now fully adapted to their new bodies and barely thought about what had happened any more. Their family and friends had noticed some strange behavior in them but having been so attached to each other there were very few things that they did not know about each other. Also, their personalities were so similar that there was no occasion for anyone to get genuinely suspicious. 
 
 One day while Ginny and Jon went out for an evening stroll, they were approached by an old man. 
 
 `` So I think we can declare my experiment a rousing success ca n't we?'' 
 
 Ginny and Jon instantly knew what he was talking about. `` So you did this to us? But how? and most importantly why?'' Ginny asked. 
 
 This is why I have come here children, after every experiment it is crucial that all participants must be debriefed. Just because this was n't a formal experiment does not mean that we should not respect protocol, does it? 
 `` Once upon a time I was a scientist of great repute'' began the old man `` In fact my reputation was such that I was recruited by the CIA for a project that is now infamously known as MKUltra. My research on consciousness transferance in particular was of great interest to them. Using the generous funding that was made available to me through the MKUltra program I was finally able to crack the problem and achieve a viable method of transferring consciousness from one body to another. However, I knew perfectly well what the CIA intended to do with my research and I could not have that on my conscience. It pained me greatly to do so but I informed my supervisors that I had failed in my task. The project was cancelled and I swore to take this secret to my grave. Until I saw the two of you that is. I know that you both probably do n't recognize me but I usually roam around these parts for my evening stroll. Seeing two young happy kids grow depressed was not a sight that fared well with me and being psychologist by training I knew gender dysphoria when I saw it. Plus, you two are so alike that I felt like you were the perfect subjects to confirm that my research was viable. Now, if you want I could switch you back to the way you were but I have a feeling that you are happy just the way you are, are n't you?'' 
 
 `` I know this awkward and you do n't have to say anything but if you ever feel like this was a mistake, here is my card, I will be sure to undo my deed. Till then, enjoy your gift and goodbye!'' 
 
 And so the old man disappeared never to be seen again.
