## Plot

Kenny and Josiah are two college roommates trying to win a radio show contest to win tickets and backstage passes to a concert of their favorite band *Blue Holiday*. The contest requires the contestant to simply post a special hashtag and a post about why they love Blue Holiday. To better their chances Kenny and Josiah are continuously creating new profiles with pictures taken offline to make it seem like they are multiple people participating. The two are in the last several minutes of the contest and have created over a hundred profiles each. Kenny stresses how cool it would be to win and meet Blue Holiday, but Josiah is not confident about their chances saying how he's worried some of the pictures they've taken offline look nothing like them and the radio show may realize they're fake. Kenny insists they can just make themselves over a bit if they win with an unconvincing profile, but Josiah is still concerned. After hours of creating profiles and entering the contest plenty of times Josiah calls it quits with only a couple minutes left before the radio host DJ Mosaic picks and announces the winner. Kenny keeps making profiles for entry and mentions how he started making profiles as women after running out of male profiles to steal from. Josiah questions this but Kenny says if he wins, he'll ask a girl to the concert instead of taking him, much to his annoyance. Kenny takes and enters with the profile photo from a girl named Rosa Gonzoles who was a girl who transferred out of their school recently. He finishes his entry post and calls it quits just as the contest time is up.

Over the radio DJ Mosaic announces they are looking through the entries but notice a lot of fake profiles trying to enter promising they will only pick genuine ones. Kenny is angry wondering how they're supposed to know that the profiles are fake while Josiah points out the ones, they made would have no other posts, friends, and be brand new. Both roommates are annoyed their efforts were a waste and listen to the last song before the contest winner is announced. Kenny sits on his bed while Josiah works on his computer when Kenny's phone suddenly changes color from black to pink and the wallpaper shows Rosa, the girl he used for his last entry. A second later Kenny's hair grows long and black. He notices a sweet smell all of a sudden but doesn't notice his hair until Josiah turns around shocked and throws him a mirror. The two then freak out as Kenny get shorter and his clothing starts to transform. Kenny is freaked out and confused and Josiah is left just watching as his roommate transforms into a woman, he seems to recognize. Kenny's necklace tightens into a choker and his voice changes as well. He (now she) turns around to call 911 but is confused when she sees her phone is now pink and has Rosa's picture on it. Josiah realizes at the mention of Rosa's name that that's who Kenny has turned into. Kenny tries to deny it but when she suddenly grows breasts and her crotch changes finishing her transformation, she is forced to admit Josiah's right. Just as the transformation finishes Kenny/Rosa's phone rings and DJ Mosaic is on the other end announcing Rosa is the winner of the contest. Josiah is shocked and thinks how it's not really cheating now that Kenny has somehow become Rosa. Rosa then says how she's planning to bring Josiah as her second and says goodbye to the DJ. Freaked out and excited all at once Rosa questions what just happened. Josiah thinks somehow the contest and Kenny stealing Rosa's profile made him transform into her. Rosa wonders if that means she'll change back after the concert.
