               "Come on everyone, ten minutes till showtime!" I heard a teacher say. Tonight is the talent show; the night I've been waiting for! Finally, my chance to start my career in music! I just have to make sure I look flawless. I looked in the mirror just to make sure my makeup and bright pink hair matched my crop top and skirt. Just as I thought my high ponytail matched just as it always did with my outfits.

"So are you guys ready?" I heard Bridget call from across the room.

"You know it!" Ellen shouted in reply.

"Alright, hands in everyone!" I said as we all walked into the middle of the room. I've known both of them since we were kids finally, this is where my career starts!

"On the count of three! Three! Two! One!" Ellen called out. As we all lifted our hands from the pile we were ready.

"Be ready to go on stage in two!" I hear the teacher call from the hallway.

"Let's go!" Bridget said, now waiting at the door.

"Sure, let me grab my microphone first! It was super cheap at a garage sale!" I replied. Once I saw it I knew I had to have it. The microphone was sitting right next to an Ouija board and some other weird items, I don't know why it was next to stuff like that, and despite being told never to go near things of that nature I ignored my instincts since it was such a good deal. I grabbed my mic and headed to the stage. While I was trying to catch up with the others my mic randomly started to glow, thinking it was nothing. I ran up to the stage, but when I was climbing the stairs I fell back.

"Bianca!" I heard Bridget call as I started to fall back, is this it? The end of my career, before it even starts! As I fell my mic only glowed more, and then we hit the floor.

"Are yall ok?" I heard from someone who had a similar voice to mine. Wait, that IS my voice. What's going on? I look over to Ellen to see her unconscious; she doesn't look like she'll wake up anytime soon.

"HUH!" I screamed as I looked over to see my body. "Am I dead? I can't be dead. I'm supposed to have my music career and whole life ahead of me!" I said as I stood up suddenly.

"No one's dead, relax. Wait, what the heck, how am I standing over there and here at the same time?" a voice from my body said. I went to pull out a phone from my pocket and I pulled out Bridget's phone with its bunny-themed case, despite all my questions I kept going and went to the camera, when I looked at the screen the face I saw was not my own, it was Bridget's! I looked up once more and pointed to my body.

"Bridget?" As I said this my body nodded confirming that we actually had switched bodies. "What kind of freaky Friday is this?!" I said as I looked up to the stage.

"Next up Bianca Southside!" As the teacher called this from the stage and turned to Bridget.

"I can't go on stage like this! Bridget! You have to go on stage and pretend to be me! This is the last chance I have to get my career off the ground!" I pleaded with Bridget as my name was called once again to go on stage.

"How? You know I can't sing!" Bridget told me in response.

"Please! Bridget, you'll be fine. You've wanted to sing ever since we were kids. Now's your chance! Besides, you have my voice right now. This is my only chance to get my music career off the ground. After I graduate, if my career hasn't started I have to go to medical school, and you know I can't stand needles!" I said hoping to convince her.

"Fine, give this to the DJ. No way I can perform your song, I don't know the lyrics." She said to me as she finally agreed. I grabbed the iPod shuffle and looked at it as she said.
