The Powers that Be? Really?

Actually, I'd settle for anybody who could change me back to a guy.

I'm listening.

It's kind of an awkward story, but a week ago, I went to bed as a guy and woke up the next day female. I don't know how it happened, but it's been theorized that something was put into the water of the city I lived in before relocating to New York, and, well, I was having fun with it, but now some things have happened and I want to go back.

To being a guy. Wow, the only time I've seen gender swapping involved possession. Pretty powerful stuff to gender-bend your city.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not possessed 'cause I'm still me, just a chick. Just want to be me again.

With a dick. Fuck, my fifth graders are making me rhyme now. Why do you want to be a guy again?

Haha, you teach fifth graders? That's cool. I wouldn't have the patience. Um, there's this guy that I met but he's not into girls and we've really got great chemistry.

We're not talking about me. Ah, sexuality. How human. Well, I don't really know what I can do. I can't exactly bibbidy bobbidy boo you back but - I could probably whip up something to drink. It would take a few hours to...take...effect. And I'm in New York -

Seriously? I mean, I would totally not mind waiting a few hours at all. That would be- You'd be a lifesaver. I can pay you. I mean, I don't know if you accept money for that kind of thing, but I'm a graphic designer too, so maybe I could design something for you.

I don't need to be paid, doll. Do you have somewhere I can meet you?

You're frickin' amazing. Yeah! [address of hotel where Des is staying] Room 607

You're lucky I don't sleep. Plus - I couldn't care less about you. But the less whining about the Powers that Be, the better I -- don't sleep.

I'm feeling so lucky, I think I'll be playing the lotto tomorrow.

Change you back to what?

A guy.

I honestly feel like I should slap some sense into you. A guy? WHY?!

Because I met a great guy that I've got a lot of chemistry with and I miss my penis.

There are some days, when I just should not ask the question 'Why'. Do you think the chemistry will stick? What happens if it is a passing phase?

Yeah, I do, and if it's just a passing phase, well, I'll move on. I mean, I was a guy originally. I've only been a girl for a week and I don't know how it happened to me, so I'm still sort of weirded out by the whole thing. I mean, I was having fun with it, but I just want to be normal me.

I can imagine how odd it must be for you. Good luck with getting that change back, and with the guy.

Thanks!
