"Gender pills?" my boss raised an eyebrow. I stood in his office, with my coworkers outside glimpsing in at little ol' me.
"Yeah, it'll wear off in a couple days or early next week. Then I'll return to being Thomas," I explained. Since I took them a day later, it meant that I had to come into work as Tiffany. However, boss man wasn't buying it.
"Did Thomas's dog eat his homework, too? What kind of excuse is this? He already called out sick yesterday, and now he's no call, no show?" my boss grew agitated.
"Please, just let me work today and I'll..."
He cut me off, "Not happening. You are not an employee, and I can land in hot water for that."
"But..."
"Forget about it. And let's say you are Thomas, I don't know what that means for our company. It's weird already having some lady call herself Thomas."
"It's not weird, I'm just...more of myself."
"Right, it's weird," my boss narrowed his eyes. Weird to change myself? What an asshole. He topped off the conversation with, "Whenever you see Thomas again, let him know this; he's fired."
"Fired?!"
"His performance has been slacking, he doesn't jive with the others, and he didn't show up today. Might as well pull the plug, let him...or you...find somewhere else that deals with this...this bullshit," my boss waved me away and went back to his computer work.
I walked like a zombie out of the office. A few heads turned, but nothing more. I wasn't Thomas to them, just some random girl.
I returned home and cried into my pillow. Thomas lost the trust of his friends, and now he lost his job. What a fucking joke of a week.
I checked my bank account and saw two months of rent inside. That gave me one month, plus bills, groceries, and gas. Available jobs near me weren't prospective. I needed a hard solution to a tight problem.
I glanced at my counter and saw the container. I remembered my happiness when they arrived, my excitement when I first became Tiffany, and all the positive feelings being a woman. My mind then flipped to all the negatives of Thomas. A mild mannered, poor working, spiteful butthead. Derrick was right; I was a completely different person when I took the pills. I was...happier.
After considering my feelings, thoughts, and circumstances, I decided that I could tackle them better as Tiffany. I popped a pill, downed a bunch of water, and body slammed my bed. The effects of taking a second pill meant I'd be Tiffany for nine whole days. I started laughing uncontrollably.
I laughed and laughed -- no need for Thomas.

I spent the next day in a far better mood. I masturbated like crazy -- I had a lot of steam to blow off. Each time I finished, I framed my worked pussy in my sight. It was so sensitive, and my fingers barely got the job done. I hit up Derrick early on in the day to see when we'd be going on our date. I was so giddy!
However, bad news struck when he told me he'd need to pull a double. Damnable work, but at least he had a job. I played it cool and told him we could just go on our usual days off. The anticipation started to eat at me immediately. I spent that evening making myself cum twice, fantasizing and unashamed by my attraction. It was still not good enough. I needed more.
The next day was when Megan called me. She was surprised Tiffany answered. She asked if Thomas was okay, which confirmed her doubts of us being the same. I simply told her that he was okay and that he was working through some issues. The news relieved her. Then, she said something peculiar...
I started, "Derrick's been helping me out, but he's having a hard time, too. His grandmother just passed away."
"Oh? I thought she passed away last year from cancer," Megan pondered aloud.
An oddity if true...but, Derrick wouldn't lie about that sort of thing. I even had picture proof, "He sent a picture. She didn't look so well. Maybe...it was his other grandma?"
"Oh, maybe. That makes more sense," Megan laughed. I followed with my concerns of how harsh we sometimes treat the guy. Megan liked that so much that she said, "I'm actually glad you're not Thomas."
My heart sank a little, but I asked, "Why's that?"
"Because I think you're pretty awesome, Tiffany. You're fun, kind, and I think you work well in our group. I dunno, I want to get to know you without the whole body swapping thing with Thomas."
Her response mixed my emotions, but I took it in strides, "Thanks, Megan, that means a lot. I like you guys, too. I'll wait for Thomas to get through this rough patch to figure out what to do."
"Send him our love!" Megan ended it there.
I went to bed that night wondering if Thomas should care anymore. One thing was certain: Tiffany didn't.
Once the week passed, Derrick came knocking on my door late in the morning. I answered it, to see a well-groomed, cologne-dabbed, stud of a man. He wore his usual baggy get up.
"Good morning, Tiffany," Derrick stepped in.
"Morning, Derrick," I smiled. It felt so casual. I closed the door and faced my date. He took me in; I wore a long sleeve, v-neck black top that showed a little tummy. No bra; the shirt squeezed me enough. I had on my nice skirt again, and with my special black panties underneath. I wanted to feel sexy, and the way they hugged and framed my hips and ass were undeniable. I wore a red beanie with the motif of a Pokeball. It was gonna be cold today.
"I like it," Derrick said.
"Thanks," I tucked my hands behind my back and swayed. "So what do you have planned?"
"A festival is in town. I figured we can go there for the day, and then crash here for a movie," Derrick said.
