Whatever You Say Big Sister

"Can you please put on a smile?" James (left) pleaded to his brother Michael (right) as he put on a pose. "I don't want you to ruin our photo."

"Fine," Michael put on a fake smile in order to appease his brother. "Like this, little brother?"

"Big sister you mean," James corrected him. "I didn't end up in this body for you to keep calling me your little brother."

About half a year ago, Michael and James were a pair of siblings who couldn't have been more different from each other. While Michael was a extroverted gym rat who had no problem finding friends and getting the attention of the ladies, James was an introvert who preferred to stay in his home in front of a computer and chatting with his friends online. That would have been the status quo for the foreseeable future, but all of that changed when The Great Shift occurred and like millions of others around the world, they were swapped with other people.

In the case of Michael and James, their case was one of the rare ones: Out of pure luck, the two of them had coincidentally swapped bodies with two Asian siblings who were visiting the city where the two of them lived. True, they were Asian women now, but more importantly, they were still biological siblings. They only difference was that while Michael had ended up in the body of the younger sibling, James had ended up in the body of the older one.

To say the least, the two brothers had very different experiences in regards to how they adapted to their new bodies. No longer as fit and imposing as he was before, Michael found himself feeling embarrassed not only about his female body, but also about what other people would think of him now that he was a woman. On the other hand, James was a completely different story. Apparently, all his younger brother needed to stop being an introvert was swap bodies with an attractive woman. In just a week after The Great Shift, while he was still having a hard time putting on a dress and doing anything feminine in nature, his younger brother James was already putting on flashy makeup, wearing tight skirts and high heels, and acting like the most feminine woman ever.

Six months in, and once again, the two of them couldn't have been more different than ever, but this time, for the completely opposite reason. Michael was now the introverted sibling who preferred to avoid the spotlight and the attention of others, while James had become the very example of a social butterfly, always making sure that he was wearing the trendiest clothes and flirting with everyone who piqued his interest, no matter whether they were men or women, swapped or not swapped.

"Are we done now?" Michael asked once the photo had been taken. "I want to take this dress off and put on some pants."

"You're kidding me, right?!" James replied in shock. "You look amazing in that dress and we still have so many more photos to take!"

Michael then let out a deep breath, knowing very well that it was going to take a long time until James was satisfied with their photos.

"Whatever you say Big sister..." Michael answered in defeat. "Whatever you say..."
