Getting Ready For The Post-Great-Shift Party

"Do you think this dress is too revealing?" Connor asked his former girlfriend Anna as he struck a modest pose. “I don't want people at the party to think I'm trying too much.”

“Of course not! I think it fits you perfectly!” Anna assured him as she held her smartphone and took a photo of him. "With that dress you're wearing, everyone's going to be so jealous of the mother I now have!"

Connor couldn't help himself from putting on a demure smile as he heard Anna's encouragement. He didn't know why, but there was something exhilarating about the idea of him being the center of attention at the Post-Great-Shift party that he and Anna were going tonight. Of course, the two of them were not going to that party as boyfriend and girlfriend, but as mother and daughter all thanks to a still poorly understood phenomenon called The Great Shift.

Just a few months ago, he and his girlfriend Anna were about to graduate from college and start the next chapter of their lives together when the so-called Great Shift occurred, swapping millions around the world, themselves included. Anna ended up swapping bodies with her roommate Elizabeth, but his case was far more dramatic:

He ended swapping bodies with a woman twenty-two years older than him called Evelynn who coincidentally turned out to be Elizabeth's mother.

Anna had no problem getting adapted to her new body, but Connor had a longer road ahead of him. Not only had he lost twenty-two years of his life, but he also had to get comfortable with all the things that a middle-aged female body entailed: wide, motherly hips that swinged side-to-side as he walked, a pair of generous breasts that weighted down on his chest, and an indescribable emptiness between his legs that felt unlike anything he had felt before.

It took much time and effort, but as time passed, he found himself getting more and more at ease with his new body. In great part thanks to all the help his girlfriend-now-turned-daughter had given him through the last few months, he began to put on more makeup, wear more dresses and high heels, use more feminine mannerisms in his daily life, and get more acquainted with his new female identity. So when the time came to finally embrace his new life, he asked Anna if they could do something together to celebrate. And well, what better place to embrace your new life after The Great Shift than one of the many Post-Great-Shift parties that were popping out all over the place.

"Are you ready to party, Mom?" Anna teased Connor as she waited by the entrance of their apartment. "We're going to have so much fun with everyone we meet!"

"I'm ready now," Connor responded as he picked up his purse, eager to finally go to his first Post-Great-Shift party and enjoy his new life as a woman. "Lead the way."

Connor was definitely looking forward to spending time with his new daughter and meeting other people who, just like him, had had their lives upended by The Great Shift. But what he didn't tell Anna was that if one of those people turned out to be a handsome man who knew how to treat him like the mature woman he now was, then he was going to try his chances with him. Besides, he had chosen to wear that black dress for a reason...
