Cinderfella Tom, a shy and introverted teenager, sits quietly in his room, staring at the invitation to his cousin's graduation party. He's never been good at socializing, and the thought of mingling with a crowd fills him with anxiety. He knew he had to go. His cousin Tiffani had gone shopping with him several weeks before to select a suit for the event. He stared at the suit encased in plastic. He hadn't tried it on since the professional tailoring. He should have, as the tailor-made a mistake with her measurements. With a sigh, he looks up at the small, ornate statue of a fairy on his shelf, a childhood gift from his grandmother. "I wish I could be popular, just for one night," he murmurs wistfully, not expecting anything to happen. To his astonishment, the statue glows softly and transforms into a real fairy, shimmering with light and clad in delicate, iridescent wings. "Hello, Tom," she says with a crooked smile. "I'm your fairy godmother, and I heard your wish." Tom looked at the being. She looked like your typical fairy godmother, but there was something not quite right with her. The fairy godmother took a step forward, lost her balance, and fell onto the bed. Fairy dust flew everywhere. "Don't worry about that. I'll get some elves to clean that up." "You're going to help me not be so shy?" "Yeah, I'll handle everything. I do this all the time. Tonight, I'll make you the most popular person at the party. Let's see I have wasted all my fairy dust, I'll have to do it with with my wand. We'll be old schooling it." "Do you think you can..." "I got this, don't worry." The fairy godmother waved her wand around in a haphazard manner. She seemed to be having a problem concentrating. Tom had never had a fairy godmother before. He assumed she knew what she was doing. He blinked in disbelief but nodded eagerly. The fairy waved her wand, and a cascade of sparkling dust envelops him. When the glitter fades, Tom feels different. His usual plain clothes are replaced with a stylish outfit. His suit had been transformed into a backless tiered cocktail dress.. Tom looked down at the lilac cocktail dress draping his body. He didn't need to see his shoes to know he was wearing heels, most likely heeled sandals. Although he had never worn hose before, he knew that must be what his legs were encased in. "I-I-I can't go like this," Tom stammers. "You're right, I knew I forgot something." The fairy waves her wand again, and light makeup covers his face. "But, but..." "I know, I know. You're right! No need to be subtle." The fairy waves her wand a third time, and Tom's makeup becomes more exotic giving his masculine features a feminine look. "No more buts, you'll be the life of the party. I guarantee it." Before Tom could say another word, he was standing at the grand entrance to the ballroom where the graduation party was being held. Tom at first finds himself feeling out of place, he's usually found in jeans and a t-shirt, his discomfort is palpable as he fidgets with the hem of the unfamiliar dress. His wild, untamed hair has been tamed into soft curls, and intricate makeup enhances his natural features, making his blue eyes stand out and adding some blush to his cheeks. He is attired in a dress and makeup for the first time ever. He is still clearly a boy, at least to himself, although dressed in a wonderfully feminine manner. Under his dress, he doesn't dare to see whether he is wearing male briefs or as he suspects nylon panties. Tiffani and her friends immediately notice his feminized style. They aren't horrified or even concerned but adore his new savoir-faire. The room is filled with mylar graduation balloons, twinkling fairy lights, and tables laden with sweets and gifts. His cousin, the new graduate, beams with joy as she spots him and rushes over. "Tom, you look amazing!" Tiffani exclaims, genuinely impressed. "I told you you would look great when we picked that dress out."As the night progresses, people would be drawn to him, charmed by his charisma and easy-going demeanor. Tom felt himself compelled to step into the lavishly decorated ballroom, He is also aware of the weight of everyone's eyes on him. "Tom, you look amazing!" Tiffani repeats as she gets close enough to pull him into a hug. "I knew that gown would look perfect on you." "You knew it?" "Of course silly. I helped you pick it out. I guess you didn't have much choice, but what do you know." Tom forced a smile, still feeling out of his element. However, as the evening progresses, he begins to notice the admiring glances and whispers of approval. His relatives and friends shower him with compliments, expressing their surprise and delight at his transformation. Tiffani took credit for getting Tom out of his shell and all gussied up. "You look so beautiful, Tom," one aunt says, while another adds, "I almost didn't recognize you! You should wear dresses more often, not just for special occasions." Tiffani approached Tom. "Do you know my friend Emily? She likes your dress."
