The Big Game

It all started at a bar a few days before the big game. Brad was having a beer and complaining how he couldn’t get tickets. A man overheard the loud comments and said he could arrange for Brad to get one of the best views in the stadium for a price. The two agreed to meet an hour before the game to finalize the transaction.

Brad arrived at the stadium right on time and forked over $200. The man took the money and put it in his briefcase. Brad paused for a second. Was this man going to hand over a ticket or what? He started yelling and demanding a ticket. He threw a punch. The man easily dodged it and injected Brad with a syringe. Brad’s vision soon faded into total blackness.

When he awoke a little later, he realized the man hadn’t been scamming him at all. Somehow he had made it into the arena and he really did have the most incredible view of the game. It was like he was practically sitting on the sidelines. Correction, he actually WAS on the sidelines!

Brad was completely astonished until he realized something was wrong. He was wearing short shorts; he had shaved legs; he had pom poms in his hands. He was in another person’s body -- the body of a goddamn cheerleader! He sure had a great of the game, but he was also a woman! To make matters worse, judging from the color of his outfit, he was a cheerleader for the other team!

It only got weirder when it was time to perform a routine. He instinctively jumped to his feet and was able to do the moves flawlessly. It was like his body was running on muscle memory. It was sort of cool, but the whole experience was also still so weird!
