The wedding pulsed with joy, laughter mingling with the clink of glasses and soft chatter. Ethan and Jake, their feminine appearances seamless, sat with poise, their pantyhose glimmering under the fairy lights, their teenage boy mindsets contrasting their graceful mannerisms. I stood at the park’s edge, my mischievous grin widening. The wedding dresses had been a delightful twist, but I craved more absurdity. "Let’s make this a prom night," I thought, "with everyone in dazzling female prom outfits—especially the men, looking feminine but still male, their usual attire and makeup feeling normal yet subtly unsettling due to their anatomy, and their memories reshaped to match this reality."
With a flick of my wrist, my magic enveloped the gathering. The white gazebo transformed into a glittering archway draped with silver streamers and fairy lights, wooden chairs became cushioned pastel seats, and a disco ball appeared, casting sparkles across the park. The guests’ attire shifted into vibrant prom outfits—flowing gowns, sparkling mini-dresses, and sleek jumpsuits, all paired with heels, delicate jewelry, and flawless makeup. The men, including Jake’s father, Mark, and his older brother, Tyler, took on feminine appearances with soft features, high cheekbones, fuller lips, and cascading hair, their faces enhanced by expertly applied makeup—winged eyeliner, rosy blush, and glossy lipstick. Yet, they remained undeniably male, their unchanged anatomy feeling faintly out of place in their familiar feminine outfits and makeup, a subtle disturbance they accepted as routine. The magic also rewrote their memories, embedding a lifelong history of feminine experiences, though the men’s male identities created a quiet dissonance.
The magic made everyone perceive their prom outfits, feminine mannerisms, makeup, and altered memories as their lifelong norm. Men and women moved with a graceful sway, hands smoothing skirts or adjusting hair, voices light and melodic, their faces glowing with makeup that felt as routine as brushing their teeth. For the men, the sensation of their male genitalia in their usual feminine clothing, combined with the weight of mascara or stickiness of lipstick, stirred a familiar unease they couldn’t fully articulate. Their memories now reflected a life of feminine milestones—learning to walk in heels, applying makeup, choosing dresses—instead of traditional male experiences, yet their male identities persisted, making these memories feel slightly off. The magic ensured their actions remained confident and feminine, their internal disturbance a quiet undercurrent.
I focused on Mark and Tyler, intrigued by how Jake’s father and brother navigated this reality, especially Tyler, whose memories had been vividly reshaped. Mark, a broad-shouldered man in his late 40s, had a delicate face with long lashes, rosy blush, winged eyeliner, and soft coral lipstick. His shoulder-length blonde waves were adorned with a silver tiara, and his floor-length emerald-green prom gown had a fitted bodice and a slit revealing sheer pantyhose and strappy silver heels. His manicured hands, with coral nail polish, held a beaded clutch. Wearing feminine outfits and makeup was as normal as breathing, but his anatomy in the gown’s snug fit and the stickiness of his lipstick were familiar disturbances. This gown’s perfect for prom, he thought, his feelings a mix of pride and subtle unease, the magic ensuring his grace.
Tyler, 21 and lanky, had a soft face with glossy pink lipstick, smoky eyeshadow, and highlighter on his cheekbones. His auburn curls, pinned with sparkling clips, cascaded past his shoulders. His shimmering lavender mini-dress with a flared skirt was paired with sheer pantyhose and silver platform heels, a choker necklace at his neck, and pink-painted nails. Feminine attire and makeup were his everyday reality, but his anatomy in the dress and the weight of mascara felt slightly off, sensations he’d long accepted. His memories, however, were newly vivid—where he once recalled Mark teaching him to swing a baseball bat in their backyard, he now remembered Mark patiently guiding him to walk in heels at age 12, balancing in low pumps on the living room rug, and later showing him how to apply eyeliner and blend foundation in front of a vanity mirror. Dad was so patient teaching me makeup, Tyler thought, the memory feeling as real as yesterday, yet a faint unease lingered, his male identity clashing with the image of himself as a boy practicing winged liner instead of pitching a ball. It’s always been like this, but… something feels weird, he mused, the magic keeping his demeanor feminine.
The music shifted to an upbeat pop anthem, and the guests swayed on the dance floor. Mark stood, smoothing his emerald gown, his heels clicking as he joined Carol, now in a sapphire-blue jumpsuit with shimmery eyeshadow and red lipstick. “This gown’s divine, isn’t it?” Mark said, his voice melodic, twirling to show his pantyhose-clad leg, his coral lipstick catching the light. The unease of his anatomy and makeup was routine. Just another night, he thought, his movements graceful. Carol beamed, “Mark, your blush is perfect!” Mark touched his cheek, his feelings warm, the magic reinforcing his poise.
Tyler was pulled onto the dance floor, his lavender mini-dress sparkling. He swayed his hips, his platform heels steady, his curls bouncing, his glossy lipstick shimmering. “Prom’s always a blast,” he said, smoothing his skirt, the magic making his movements seamless. The discomfort of his anatomy and mascara was familiar, but his mind drifted to a memory of Mark adjusting his posture in heels, saying, “Chin up, small steps, Tyler, you’ve got this.” The memory felt vivid, yet his male identity made it oddly dissonant—Why do I feel like I should remember something about baseball? he wondered, shaking it off, his feelings a mix of enjoyment and acceptance. A guest clapped, “Tyler, your makeup’s stunning!” Tyler grinned, touching his lips, the unease a quiet norm.
Jake, in a rose-gold prom dress with peachy lipstick and subtle eyeliner, sat beside Ethan, in a teal gown with mauve lipstick and bronzed cheeks. Both crossed their legs, their pantyhose shimmering. Jake adjusted his skirt, his feelings a mix of boredom and unease from his anatomy and lipstick, as normal as jeans once were. “Dad’s makeup’s weirdly good,” Jake muttered to Ethan, who nodded. Tyler’s eyeshadow’s on point.
During a lull, Tyler sat beside Mark, his lavender skirt flaring as he crossed his legs, smoothing his dress, his pink lipstick gleaming. “Dad,” he said, his voice soft, “remember when you taught me to walk in heels? I kept tripping, but you made it fun.” Mark smiled, his coral lipstick vibrant, the memory clear in his mind too—a young Tyler wobbling in pumps, giggling as Mark steadied him. “You learned fast,” Mark replied, adjusting his tiara. “And your eyeliner’s better than mine now.” Tyler laughed, touching his smoky eyeshadow, the memory warm but tinged with unease—It’s my life, but why does it feel… off? The magic kept his posture feminine, the dissonance a quiet backdrop.
Linda, in a coral maxi-dress with bold eyeliner, approached. “Mark, your gown and makeup are stunning! Photos?” Mark stood, his emerald gown shimmering, his feelings a mix of pride and routine unease. “Let’s do it,” he said, checking his lipstick in a compact, the magic ensuring his grace. Tyler joined, his lavender dress sparkling, his curls bouncing, his feelings similar—Photos are fun, same as always.
As the photographer snapped pictures, Mark and Tyler posed with feminine elegance—hands on hips, heads tilted, their gowns, pantyhose, and makeup catching the light. The guests cheered, the magic ensuring no one found it odd, the men’s faint unease a familiar part of their reality. Jake and Ethan watched, their own dresses and makeup shimmering, their feelings a mix of amusement and shared acceptance, their anatomy and makeup a normal, if unsettling, sensation.
I stood at the edge, my mischievous smile growing. The scene was perfect—everyone in dazzling prom outfits, faces radiant with makeup, the men transformed into feminine visions, their mannerisms graceful, their lifelong feminine habits and memories accepted yet tinged with unease from their male anatomy. Tyler’s reshaped memories—heels and makeup lessons replacing baseball—added a delicious layer of absurdity, the magic ensuring they carried on as if it were just another day. As the music swelled and dancing resumed, I pondered what other transformations I could weave into this town, letting the prom night unfold for now.
