Thomas had been crushing on his classmate, Stacey.
It was entirely physical.
Quite shallow.
He didn’t really know her; just thought about what he’d like to do with her gorgeous body.
He assumed that she would return his interest if he were more physically attractive himself.
“I wish I was the most impressive athlete in the class!” he longed.
His wish was granted . . . sort of.
One of the things he hadn’t bothered to find out about Stacey was that she was, herself, a superb athlete - the most impressive one in the class, in fact.
Now Thomas is Stacey.
No one except Stacey remembers that he ever existed.
Neither his consciousness nor Stacey’s has disappeared or been suppressed; they are merged. Bodily, hormonally, they are 100 % Stacey.
Thomas/Stacey cares about how other people feel, comforts friends, and sometimes watches movies that she expects to give her “a good cry”.
She reads books about Science and Religion, and the occasional trashy novel recommended by a friend.
She’s on the campus recycling team and gently removes caterpillars from the pavement so they won’t get trod on.
Stacey/Thomas really enjoys showering and appreciates how she looks in a full-length mirror much more than just Stacey did, and Bob now knows that Stacey has always been attracted to cute, thoughtful, intellectual guys who don’t hesitate to bend over to save a caterpillar.
Thomas, as Stacey, experiences that attraction now.
