You walk into your local X-Change clinic and approach the front desk. Lucas, the clerk at the front desk, whose name is clearly displayed on his name badge, nods in your direction and greets you as you come near. With a smile, you say, “Hello, I'm Charlene. I have an Orientation Appointment today.”

Lucas looks up your name and finds your appointment information in his computer. He gives you a printed piece of paper, which details the specific floor and room you are supposed to go to for your appointment.

You promptly make your way to the specified place in the building. It doesn't take too much time, as the clinic is not as busy as you assumed it would be. There is a good deal of people here, ranging from teenagers fresh out of high school to young adults to older people, probably around the peak age of 50, but no one older than that. You open the door to your room and find in the middle is a desk with someone seated behind it. She looks up upon your entrance and says, “Please have a seat, Ms. Charlene,” gesturing to a single chair in front of her desk.

You sit on the seat provided, making sure to observe the features of the room. There is a window, but whatever sunlight could pour in is ultimately blocked by a thick blackout curtain and blinds. Bright fluorescent light pours from above, which is the main source of illumination in the room. On either side of the room, the walls are basically full-length mirrors that span the entire length of the room. In the corner of the room, there is a photography set-up complete with a flash umbrella and a light-blue-colored backdrop.

Even as you come in, the technician is busy writing information onto a clipboard. She signals to you she is finished by putting down her pen and giving you her attention. “Ms. Charlene. My name is Gabriella and I'm an X-Change technician at this clinic. I see that you attempted to purchase your first X-Change pill, but since you have not registered with the database yet, you were given an appointment at this here X-Change clinic,” she states. You nod in confirmation. “If you do not know by now, the government has put out a new law that states that anyone who purchases X-Change must be registered with the X-Change Nondiscriminatory Hiring Practices Alliance. In this Orientation Appointment, we give you a sample of the X-Change pill, which transforms you into your male self, but it only lasts for an hour. In that time, we take a photo that will be put onto a secondary identification card that you must adhere to the back of your government-issued ID card. Anyone who uses the wishes to purchase any product from a legitimate X-Changeretailer must have both cards in their possession at the time of purchase. Do you understand, Ms. Charlene?”

“I understand, Miss Gabriella,” you answer.

The X-Change technician continues, “We also bring in another technician who will check everything is in working order physiologically and give you your measurements, for the convenience of wardrobe purposes. This service comes at no extra cost to you. We will print you a temporary version of your DIP card. Any additional sensors used for express scanning at X-Change retailers comes with an upgrade fee, if you wish to purchase them. Once you change back after an hour, you may leave.”

Gabriella produces a small plastic cup with a small light-blue pill contained within and another cup with water to wash the pill down. You don't waste any time and place the pill on the middle of your tongue. You chase the pill with the water provided. In no time, you start to feel your body changing. You look into the mirrors and see your hair shortening, your chest flattening, and your facial features becoming more like a man. What isn't happening in the mirror, you can already feel. Your hips narrowing, your body hair growing along your legs and arms, and especially your vagina seemingly extruding out of your pelvis, ballooning and lengthening inside your pants. You feel and also see what guys call the bulge and you feel as if you need to unfasten your pants somewhat to relieve any pressure in that area.

The process does not take more than a minute, but it sure does take a lot out of you. You feel woozy, but Gabriella is there to explain. “You might feel like you're about to faint, Charlene, but that is just the one side effect this version of the pill has. For a speedy process, it does withdraw energy from your own body to operate. But it does give us enough time to get the necessary information within the hour,” Gabriella says and gets to her feet. She rounds the desk and holds an arm out to you. You take it, get to your feet, and grip her arm, trying to find your balance. You can already tell that you are a bit taller than before. You already know with this new body your balance is off a bit. She guides you to the corner where the photography set-up is located and gestures you to sit on the stool. “Feel free to remove your clothes. You may find them a hindrance in your new body.”

You finally unfasten your pants, if you haven't done so yet, and slide them down your legs, past your ankles and finally, off of your feet. You are only wearing your shirt, which with your larger frame, feels like something a kid would wear. Gabriella offers you an appropriate-sized T-shirt for you to wear, but it's optional. Whether or not you take the shirt offered, the technician proceeds to ready the camera for your picture. She goes over to you for a moment to position you correctly so that she can get a decent photo.

“Alright Charlene, look into the camera. I'll take two pictures, just to be sure. Ready? 1.. 2... 3... Say cheese!” she guides you and you smile when prompted. she takes a second photo moments after, before getting a tablet from the desk and opening it to show you your photos. You see the male version of yourself. To some, you may look cute, to others, you may look sexy. Handsomeness is in the eye of the beholder, you remind yourself of the popular saying. Gabriella retrieves the clipboard she was writing on earlier and hands it to you. “Please specify on the indicated section your name for your male identity.” On the section she gestured towards, you write down Charles as your female name before handing it back to Gabriella. She looks over the information and goes over to the desk and presses a button on her intercom. She speaks into the speaker, “Mr. Charles is ready. You may send in Michael for measurements.”

The door to the room opens and in walks a man dressed similarly to Gabriella. He takes you by the arm and has you stand in front of the nearest mirror. By now, you feel somewhat accustomed to your new sense of balance and don't feel as nauseous as before. He asks you to strip if you haven't done so earlier. From a pocket of his coat, he pulls out a spool of measuring tape. He places the tape onto and across multiple areas of your body. He is eager to mention, “This is mostly for the dimensions of your dress shirts,” when measuring your neck size, your shoulder width, your arm length, your wrist size, your chest size, and your waist. “These are for your dress pant size, Mr. Charles,” he says when measuring your hips, your seat, and even your inseam. It feels like he could produce a tailor-made outfit out of your measurements.

Michael records the measurements onto your clipboard before turning back to you. “I'm going to do some tests of your nerves, just to make sure everything is in working order,” he says and you nod in understanding. With a metal rod, he places it onto various parts of your body and upon contact, you feel the cold temperature of the rod. Areas included in the test are, but not limited to, your arms, legs, nape, back, abdomen, and even your buttocks. With a gloved hand, he nonchalantly grasps your penis, gently squeezing the shaft and each of your balls with light pressure “Do you feel these?” You nod and he continues, gently caressing the head of your cock, teasing different areas, deliberately trying to produce a reaction from you. “How about this?” You nod and look down to witness your penis is erect, standing at attention. Thoroughly, he measures the length and girth too. “Alright, it seems everything is working just fine. Be sure to contact the clinic for any problems once you receive and take your X-Change pill.” He promptly leaves after the test.

“Alright Mr. Charles, your Orientation is almost complete. Just sign the form where I've indicated and we'll start processing your secondary ID card. You may hang out here for the rest of the hour until you change back,” Gabriella says. “You'll get your new ID Card and instructions on how to adhere it to your government-issued ID card in the mail within 3-5 business days. Any packages for pill bottles will come within 2-3 business days after you receive your Card. Any questions for me?”

After a while, she leaves the room, presenting you with a printout of your temporary DIP Card. She leaves you to hang out in the room with your male body. Once the hour is up, you change back into your female self, after which you put your clothes back on and leave the clinic.
