But as she walked, she suddenly sensed pain. Ever since her incident with the raccoon, she was able to sense pain in another living being, if it was great enough. She moved through the forest, away from the path through the ferns and the maples, and over to the clearing across the meadow where the oak trees started.

Harmony felt the pain coming from the old oak tree. She wondered if it would be a squirrel, or a chipmunk. She was very surprised when she saw Jeff. He was crying, and in such pain inside! She just had to help him.

"Hello there" she said.

Jeff was startled. He didn't want someone to see him cry. That was why he wandered off on his own.

"What's the matter?" said Harmony.

Jeff wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Its nothing" he said, but that made him feel bad. It was a *masculine* response. He longed to open up his heart and tell her everything. But how could a man, even one who wished he was a woman, just come right out and say that to a stranger?

"You have a wish deep in your heart" said Harmony, closing her eyes and concentrating on the feelings flowing out of Jeff. "A deep longing which you have never been able to fulfill. You are dissatisfied with yourself..."

Jeff looked up in amazement. This young woman was reading him like a book. He suddenly had such an urge to open up to her, and tell her everything! He just sensed that she was a friend, and she would help.

"I should never have been born as a male" he said. "I should have been a woman."

She looked down at him, not with pity, not with disgust, but with love and understanding. Just the look in her eyes made him more comfortable, so he told her more.

"Ever since I was young, I wanted to be a girl. I would give anything! What can I do?"

Harmony sat down beside him.

"Oh Jeff, you ask something quite difficult. Are you really sure about this? I mean, if you were a woman, it would not be exactly what you think. Just because you become a woman, that won't make you happy. You have to find your way through life, and whether you're a woman or a man, the basic things which bring happiness and contentment are the same."

"Yes, but I'm not meant to be a man. I wish I was a woman."

"Look at me Jeff. I want to heal your pain. But I again urge you to reconsider. I don't think that you really *want* to be female. I think you are just so attracted to women, but they reject you, so you have a coping mechanism of wanting to be one. You like pretty clothes, don't you? But that doesn't make you a woman any more than a woman wearing a suit and tie would be a man. Don't do this for the clothes. Don't do this unless you really really mean it in your heart of hearts."

"If you can really feel my pain, you know that it is all I want" he said.

"All right, but don't come back to me and complain if you cannot handle it. Being a woman is not what you think it is going to be."

"I'm not afraid" he said.

Harmony shook her head. He was determined. She hoped that she was doing the right thing for him. Perhaps she should make him fall in love with a woman who he could worship and adore. But no, he wanted this from his own free will.

She felt her inner self resonate with his wish. She wished it were true too, to help ease his pain. She envisioned Jeff as a woman.

"What sort of woman would you be? Describe yourself."

"I would be 5 foot 8, with long sandy blond hair. I would be very athletic, but not muscular. I would be very pretty, but perhaps not like a model. I would have 38D breasts, with large nipples. I would have a soft pretty voice. I would have long thin fingers and petite feet. I would have nice wide birthing hips, giving me ideal curves. And I would have deep blue alluring eyes."

"All that is very superficial" said Harmony.

"But that is what I imagine myself to be" replied Jeff.

"The so be it" said Harmony, imaging Jeff's pain being eased, but having him become the woman he just described.

Jeff kept looking at Harmony, her eyes closed in intense concentration. Her face was peaceful and calm. He felt the calmness flow from her to him, and his racing heart calmed. His fear and his pain diminished second by second, and he was filled with a sense or serenity and peace.

Jeff reached up to brush the hair out of his eyes. Hair! He had long blond hair! This was impossible! As he brushed it away, he saw his hands! They were small, with fine long thin fingers. The nails at the end were nicely shaped, and painted his favorite color of red.

He looked down, and saw them. His breasts! Just as he had always wished for! He had never imagined that they would be so big when he actually felt them on his chest. He had breasts! He felt below to his crotch. He couldn't stop smiling. It was gone! He was female now! He felt such joy welling up within him!

"Your name will be Joy now, in recognition of how you feel" said Harmony.

"Oh thank you! Thank you! What can I ever do to repay you?" asked Joy. She was crying now, but they were tears of joy. In more ways than one!

"You can live a full and happy life" said Harmony. "And you must never tell anyone about me."

"I will. I promise. Please, you never told me your name."

"Harmony" she said.

Joy stepped forward and gave Harmony a hug.

"Now Joy, you will have to do some things right away. Take this purse. You will find inside a driver's license with your new name, and some money. You have a credit card. Your bank account as Jeff has been converted over to one for Joy. But you'll need to go out and get a job. And an apartment. You can't ever tell anyone that you used to be Jeff. You can't go back to your old apartment, or see your old friends. You have a new life now, but I can't allow anyone other than those I help know what I really am. Do you understand?"

"Yes. Oh thank you Harmony! Today is the best day of my life!"

Joy was dressed in women's jeans, boots, and a sweatshirt. She started walking down the forest path, and discovered a bicycle. It had a note on it reading "For Joy". She got on, and rode it into town. She was fascinated at the way her new body moved! How the way she perceived the world was different! It was all different! She was so happy, so excited!

An hour later, she rolled into town. Harmony had told her to go get a job and a place to stay. She knew that above the hardware store, they were letting out apartments. So she went on up, and asked to speak to someone about a room.

The manager made a phone call, and in a few minutes, another man named Adam arrived. While she was waiting, Joy felt uncomfortable with the manager. She looked at his face, but his eyes were focused on her breasts. She turned to look behind her, but she was sure that he was staring at her butt. She turned back to him, and his eyes were still everywhere but her face. She wasn't used to being scoped out like a piece of meat or something! It made her feel upset inside.

She wasn't used to how an emotion could come on so quickly, or feel so strong! This would take some getting used to! She was relived when Adam showed up to take her upstairs, but immediately, he turned out to be as bad as the manager.

"Well well, what do we have here?" he said, even whistling!

"This is Joy" said the manager.

"She is quite a joy to behold" said Adam. Joy was wondering if Harmony had picked a good name or not. She loved having a very feminine name, but these jokes were going to get old quick!

"I'd like to see the room please" she said to Adam, trying to be polite. She would liked to have said "Quit staring at my boobs!", but she wanted the room, and didn't think that would be a good start to her relationship with her landlord.

She did like it that the door was help open for her as she walked in, and that at least Adam treated her like a lady. He showed her the room, which was very suitable for her needs. It included a dress, a bed, and a soft with coffee table. So she didn't even need to buy her own furniture! The rent was in the right price range, so she wanted it. But she couldn't help but notice how his eyes were glued to her body again. When she was a man, she didn't stare like that, did she? It made her feel so uncomfortable!

"I'll take it" she said.

"I'll need $150 deposit" said Adam. She looked through her purse, and found $500 in fifties. She handed Adam the money, and shook his hand.

"I'll have the lease papers ready for you to sign in a few minutes" he said as they walked back downstairs. She waited patiently, looking through the hunting magazine in the office. Boring! She wanted to read Cosmo or something educational. She would have to stop at the bookstore and get something good to read!

Adam arrived with the papers, which she signed. She admired hew new fancy writing. Nothing like her old scribbled mess. Now she wrote in large flowing letters. very arty.

"Thanks Ma'am, all set. Here's the keys" said Adam.

Joy felt so excited to be called "Ma'am"! She smiled.

Joy went across the street to do some clothes shopping. She wanted so many thing that she had dreamed of wearing! She bought three bras, four packs of panties, pantyhose, three skirts, Capri pants, lots of tops, two dresses, and a sweater.

The clerk rang up the purchases at the counter, and Joy gulped when she saw the final total. How could these things cost so much? But she needed it all, so what could she do? It was upsetting to learn how much they charged for cute clothes! And it seemed like the less fabric on the clothes, the more it cost! What was the fairness in that? Or if a men's shirt cost $20, the same thing for women cost at least twice was much. She gritted her teeth and signed the credit card receipt.

She dropped off that load, then went to the sports store down the street. She bought a running outfit, workout clothes, a leotard, three sports bras, and the one thing she had most eagerly wished she could wear: a string bikini. She had looked at magazines time and time again, wishing that she could look like the models. Or *be* one of them. Now she had her own yellow bikini! She would go to the beach that afternoon, and try it out.

* * *

When she got back to her apartment, she found Adam carrying a cardboard box up the steps, and into her room.
