“Well what happened?” Joey asked, “Well I was at the Club Infinity downtown, drinking with some of the guys from work, and I think it was someone’s birthday so I ended up drinking a little more than usual.” You say looking at Joey as though you were trying to convince him of something, but by the look on his face you could tell he wasn’t buying it. “And by a little too much you mean way too much, right?” he says, You then slump your shoulders in shame and say, “Yeah pretty much, so after about an hour I wonder off to find the bathroom, and on my way there I see this girl wearing these ridiculously tight leather pants, and you know a nice ass is my weakness, and I wasn’t thinking clearly so I kind of…. Grabbed it…” you say, “Wait, you grabbed her ass?” he asks, “Well it was really more of a slap and grab but yea…” you say, Suddenly Joey busts out laughing, “Wow man, I know you’re an ass man but I’ve never seen you that drunk but let me guess, she turns around and slaps you?” he asks, “Well actually no, worst. She spins around and she’s some kind of hard core gothic chick, you know lots of makeup, piercings, pentagram necklaces.” You say, “Wow even in your dreams you have the worst luck.” He says laughing
You glare at him for a moment, “Well point is then it gets weird, the music stops and everyone freezes in place, like time had stopped. But then she started yelling at me saying, ‘That’s it! I’m tired of chauvinist pigs like you thinking that women are nothing more objects for your amusement! You think I like being objectified just because of my physical appearance? Let’s see how you like it!’ Then she started babbling something and next thing I knew every guy in the bar was staring at me. And I could see my reflection in their eyes, but it wasn’t me, I was a girl but it was a different girl for every guy. Then I looked back at her and she was laughing, and I looked down and my body and clothes kept changing. So I ran out of the bar as fast as I could, next thing I knew I woke up in my bed back to normal.” You say, “Well that was one hell of a dream, and normally id tell you not to mix your alcohols but since in at least four inches taller than you and you’re wearing a thong I’m pretty sure there was a little more to it than that.” He says
“Wait didn’t you say you were going downtown last night?” Joey asks, “Well yeah I think so.” You say, “And I think you did say something about Nick’s birthday last week.” he asks, “Yeah” you say reluctantly dreading what you knew he was getting at. “And isn’t this the shirt you were wearing last night?”He says picking a shirt up off the floor, “Yes!” you say finally realizing that it was no dream.
“Okay now let’s think about this, what does it all mean? Okay you pissed off a some girl, and time freezes.” He says, “Yeah and then she yells at me about how men objectify women because of how they look.” You say, “And then she starts babbling something then you turn into a girl and all the guys are staring at you.” He says, “And then I wake up normal, but when I go to the kitchen I’m a girl again.” You say, “So what did happen because you left the room?” he asks, “Well I know I changed after I left, but then when I came back I changed again, but now I’m in my room and a girl.” You say
The two of you pace for a moment to think about everything, “Wait, I’ve got it!” Joey says, “What?” you ask, “Let me try something.” He says as he walks out of the room and closes the door. Suddenly you look down and you are back to normal, “Did it work?” he asks from the other side of the door, “Yeah it did what did you do?” you ask, “I left the room.” He says walking back in causing you to turn back into a girl. “Oh come on!” you exclaim, “Sorry about that, but I think I figured out the problem here” he says, “So what being around other people turns me into a girl?” you say jokingly. “Well not exactly, I’m pretty sure it’s just men.” He says. “Why do you say that?” you ask, “Well think about your dream... I mean memory I guess, you said every guy in the room was staring at you. So it looks like being around guys makes you turn.” He says
You pause for a moment to let it all sink in; whenever you’re around a guy you’re going to turn into something pretty for him to look at. You can’t go out into public like this, and what about work, you can’t even walk around your apartment.
(What are you going to do now?)
