18. One night, Ben was staying over at his friend Emma’s house.
19. Emma was the same age as Ben and they got along very well, sharing many interests.
20. As midnight approached, Ben was restless, tossing and turning in the guest bedroom.
21. He’d been struggling to sleep and couldn’t seem to find a comfortable position.
22. Suddenly, Ben jerked awake, only to realize he wasn’t lying down anymore.
23. Confused, he noticed he was leaning against a cold, brick building.
24. He reached up to his head and felt the soft, knitted fabric of a beanie.
25. It was pink with a small pompom on top, decidedly feminine.
26. Realizing he was also wearing a scarf, he looked down to see a glittery purple scarf wrapped snugly around his neck.
27. The scarf felt oddly tight and uncomfortable as if it didn’t belong.
28. Ben also noticed he was wearing a small jacket, light blue with lace trim on the sleeves.
29. The jacket's fabric was soft, almost like satin.
30. Beneath the jacket, he wore a long-sleeve shirt, pink with a pattern of small white hearts.
31. His pants were fitted jeans, light blue and adorned with flowery embroidery.
32. They hugged his legs closely, feeling strange and restricting.
33. On his feet were long, black boots reaching up to his knees.

35. As Ben looked down at his hands, he was shocked to see how slender and delicate they appeared.
36. His nails were painted a bright red.
37. Disgusted, Ben stuck out his tongue at the sight of the nail polish.
38. His unease grew as he felt a weight on his right shoulder.
39. Looking down, he saw a large, overly decorated purse hanging there.
40. It was pink with a glittery finish and contained various feminine items.
41. Inside the purse, he found makeup, a small mirror, a hairbrush, and some jewelry.
42. Feeling overwhelmed, Ben tried to take a step in the boots, struggling to balance.
43. Every shaky step reminded him how different this body felt.
44. Ben continued until he found a large mirror.
45. He looked into the mirror, seeing the reflection of a woman before him.
46. This woman appeared to be in her mid-20s, standing about 5 feet 4 inches tall.
47. With a lean frame, she had a weight that seemed to hover around 120 pounds.
48. Her hair was long, dark, and wavy, cascading around her shoulders.
49. She had striking green eyes and fair skin.
50. Tears welled up in Ben’s eyes as he looked at his hands again.
51. Unable to hold back, he gagged at the sight of the bright nail polish.
52. The reflection made him feel like he was looking at a stranger.
53. He didn’t recognize any part of himself in the mirror.
54. Falling onto the cement, he muttered, "My legs look like mommy's."
55. In shock, he continued, "OH NO, I even sound like a mommy and my clothes are so girly and gross."
