Room 401, Saturday Morning

Victor woke up when his phone rang, and he didn't open his eyes as he groped for it and pressed it to his ear.
"Too early." This was a greeting, if you squinted at it sideways. Anything more clever would have been entirely beyond him.
"Ask what time it is here," Nico said, sounding on the verge of a freak-out. "Vic, you have to come home. People are turning into zombies. Like, not just the Scientology kind, literal grrr, argh."
"Huh?" he was a little more awake now. "How's that happening?"
"We think it has something to do with the radio- " Nico started, than interrupted herself. "How come you sound like a girl?"
"It's early," Victor said again, and finally looked down at his shirtless chest. "Um, Nic?" he tried. "Maybe because I ... am a girl?" And now he was going to have a freak-out to match hers. Quietly. People had warned him about the transformations, sure, but it wasn't supposed to happen to him. "Like, I can see my boobs."
"... you have it worse than we do," Nico decided, after a long pause. "Look, call me when you fix it. We'll fight the damn zombies. You ... find a bra."
"Thanks, mom."
"Thanks, Victor/Victoria."
And that was the end of the phone call. The end of Victor's panic would come sometime later.

"He didn't say I'd wind up looking like my sister."
