:: Orientation
[[Ethan]] leads [[you|You]] into the building where a knot of high school students are hanging out, waiting for class to start.  Given the obvious wealth in Rosestead, you're a little surprised at how thuggish so many of the boys look and how slutty so many of the girls dress.

Ethan leads you down the hall and you enter a fairly opulent reception area.  [[The receptionist|Stephanie]] is a very young woman who looks like she couldn't have been out of high school very long herself.  Her outfit is as sexy as one could possibly get away with and still be professional.

"Hello, Ethan," she says, "is this Parker Comstock?"

"Yes," Ethan responds.  "He's here to see Mr. Hilliard for orientation."

"Mr. Hilliard is expecting him.  He's in with Miss Beaumont right now, but they should be done in a few minutes."

"Who's Miss Beaumont?" you ask Ethan.

"She's the cheerleader coach and teaches phys ed for girls," Ethan replies.

"You don't have co-ed gym class?"

"Well, girls and boys do different activities at the same time and usually in the same place.  Miss Beaumont teaches the girls while Coach Donovan, the wrestling coach, teaches the boys," Ethan replies.

You are interrupted when the principal's door opens and a very sexy young woman who you take to be [[Miss Beaumont]] walks out.  She looks a bit flustered as she breezes out of the office.

"Go on in," the receptionist says.

[[Enter Mr. Hilliard's Office.|Hilliard Office 1]]


:: Hilliard Office 1
"Good luck and have fun," [[Ethan]] says as he walks out.

With a little nervousness, [[you|You]] enter Mr. Hilliard's office.

[[Mr. Hilliard]] sits behind a large desk and gets up to greet you.  "You must be Parker Comstock," Mr. Hilliard says.  "Welcome to Rosestead High.  I am Principal Hilliard."

You shake his hand and he motions you to sit down in front of his desk and then sits himself.  He shows you your schedule and makes sure you know the layout of the building and speaks pridefully of the many facilities available at the high school.

After he's done, he tells you, "Now I'm going to bring you to Coach Donovan and his wife and they'll continue your orientation.  Coach Donovan is the wrestling coach and physical education teacher and his wife, Mrs. Donovan, is the math teacher.  We don't have separate guidance counselors, so we assign two teachers to act as guidance counselors.  They'll take care of you and they'll be able to answer any questions you might have.

"However," he goes on, "there is one, well, peculiarity I should tell you about Rosestead.  It's nothing to worry about, but it might seem a bit strange to an outsider.  Our area was founded about forty years ago by Mr. Anderson's father."  You think back to the portrait in the library and shudder a bit at your memory of the stern, disapproving old man.

Mr. Hilliard continues, "He believed that there were serious problems with gender relations in the world because some people were born into the wrong bodies.  That is to say, he believed that some men were born with women's brains and some women were born with men's brains.  His theory was that if we could fix that problem, this would be a great boon to gender relations everywhere.

"So he developed a Process for finding these poor gender-confused people and changing their bodies' genetics to the gender that matches their brains."  He paused.

"I'm not sure I'm following this," you say.  "You're saying he developed a way to change people's sex, right?  Sort of like gender change surgery."

"Something like that, though not nearly so crude.  It actually rewrites the DNA, giving a Y to women who need one and duplicating the X in men.  He also found a way to activate it and have the external changes show up in a remarkably small span of time, all without surgery and actually changing the person's gender.  The women so created can bear children and everything.  It was a remarkable achievement."

"If it's so remarkable, how come I haven't heard about it?" you say.

"We are still testing and studying it so nobody has published on it.  Everybody in Rosestead knows about it, but we keep it quiet.  There has been the occasional reasonably accurate rumor, but nobody takes it seriously since it sounds so incredible."

"I'm not sure I believe all of that," you reply, "but why are you telling me this now?"

"Well," [[Mr. Hilliard]] says, "though it's not always true, the changes usually happen shortly after puberty, so this school is when most of the changes occur.  It only happens to a small fraction of the student body, no more than ten percent of boys and much less than that of girls."

"So you're saying that I might run into some people changing gender because of this experimentation, is that it?" [[you|You]] say.

"Well, maybe, but more importantly, there is a tiny chance that you yourself will change gender," he replies.

"What!?  Now wait a minute.  I didn't sign up for any experiment!"

"Oh, you don't sign up for it.  Everybody in Rosestead is a part of it.  Once you arrived here and drank our water, the Process already started and there's no way to stop it, I'm afraid," Mr. Hilliard said apologetically.  "But I assure you it's nothing to concern yourself about.  Remember that it only affects those who ought to be affected.  If you've never had any fantasies about being the opposite gender, you almost certainly have nothing to worry about."  Well, that's a relief.  You've certainly never had one of those.

"In fact, many, many more young boys end up with somewhat, ahem, enhanced masculinity as a result of the Process than end up changing into girls."

"Enhanced?"

"More sexual dimorphism.  You know, more musculature, larger phalluses, somewhat more aggression.  Wrestling is very popular here.  Similarly, some women become more feminine.  You will probably notice that Rosestead High probably has a higher ratio of sexually attractive females than is typical.  Also, the Process seems to enhance most people's libidos.  You will find that the entire community, including the school faculty, is aware and understanding of this.  Are you a virgin, Parker?"

You are astonished by the question, but your ingrained respect for authority forces you to answer him.  "Umm...no," you lie.

"Well, if you were, you probably wouldn't stay one for long.  I don't think Rosestead High has ever graduated a virgin."

You're not sure you understood everything that he said, but you get the gist.  That would explain Belinda's sexual aggression and Mrs. Anderson's tolerance of her husband's affairs.  No wonder Ethan likes the school so much - lots of sexy females who are more likely to put out.  If you're a teenage boy, what's not to like?

"Now that that's out of the way, let me introduce you to Coach Donovan and his wife.  They both have a free period right now."

[[Continue.|The Donovans]]


:: The Donovans
[[You]] enter an office with desks on either side.  Seated at one desk is [[Coach Donovan]], a physical education teacher and wrestling coach and at the other is [[Mrs. Donovan]], his wife and one of the math teachers.

"Greetings, Coach Donovan.  Mrs. Donovan.  This is the new student I was telling you would arrive today, Parker Comstock.  I'll leave you three to it.  Nice to meet you, Parker."  [[Mr. Hilliard]] turns and leaves the office.

Coach Donovan is actually a pretty short man, but powerfully built.  Less so than Mr. Anderson, but still a very impressive looking man.  He rises to shake your hand.

"Welcome to Rosestead, Parker," Coach said.  "Do you like wrestling?"

"Well," you say, "I've never done it before, but I'm willing to give it a try."

"Great!  That's just the sort of attitude we can use on the team," Coach Donovan says, punching you on the arm.  You wince visibly.  The man clearly is unaware of his own strength.  "Sorry about that, Parker.  This is my wife, Mrs. Donovan.  I believe you've been assigned to her math class."

Mrs. Donovan is a tiny woman, but she looks over her glasses at you with such an intimidating look that it makes your blood go cold.  "It's nice to meet you, Parker," she says, warmly enough.  "Do you like mathematics?"

"I suppose," you say nervously.

"I'm sure you'll do fine," Mrs. Donovan said.  "I've looked over your transcripts from your prior high school and you seem to be a good, if unspectacular, student.  I assume that Mr. Hilliard has already filled you in on what makes Rosestead special.  Do you have any questions about that which you didn't ask Mr. Hilliard?"

[[Does the Process ever make mistakes?]]


:: Does the Process ever make mistakes?
"Does the Process ever make mistakes?  You know, change someone who shouldn't be changed?" [[you|You]] ask nervously.

"Well," [[Coach Donovan]] replies, "you occasionally get someone who doesn't believe they should be changed by the Process, but I've never seen a case where everybody didn't agree it was for the best, and they're always much happier afterward as is anyone who has to deal with them.  It's only a very small minority who are affected though.  It's really nothing for you to concern yourself with."

"How long does the Process take to take effect?" you ask.

"Well, that is interesting.  It seems to vary from person to person.  For some people it takes a long time.  For others, it's very quick.  I believe the latest thinking is that the more the brain resists the Process, the longer it takes.  There are even a couple of people who started the Process, but then it inexplicably reversed.  Rare, of course, but it has happened."

"Mr. Hilliard said the Process has been around for forty years.  So there must be a number of people who have gone through it?"

"Oh yes," [[Mrs. Donovan]] cuts in, "I can tell you this without violating any confidentiality because it's hardly a secret, but you live with one.  Belinda and Ethan were born identical twin boys.  Surprisingly, given who their father is, both were born rather delicate boys.  Ethan was made more masculine by the Process, though he's still nothing like his father, of course, and Belinda was turned into a girl.  This finally proved that whatever causes the Process to start, it's not purely genetic."  Mrs. Donovan makes a face.  "Belinda has become something of a dirty slut, but there's no question that she's much happier as a girl than she ever was as a boy.  She was a troubled child."

You're taken aback that this prim, buttoned-down, severe woman just called one of her students a "dirty slut."  She sees your reaction and says, "Oh, do forgive my language.  I forgot that you're new here.  One of the advantages of the Process is that everyone is much more comfortable with who and what they are, so you can be much freer about that sort of thing than you're used to outside of Rosestead.  I assure you that Belinda would readily agree with me that she is, in fact, a dirty slut.  I don't judge her for it.  Well, not much anyway.  She performs a public service, helping to mop up the excessive hormonal urges of our male population."

You mull over the fact that Belinda used to be a boy.  <<if $belinda.bj gt 0>>Maybe that's why she gives such great blowjobs, though you don't really want to think about how you've had an ex-boy suck your dick. <<endif>>She certainly does seem very happy with her life, though her daddy's money probably helps a lot with that.  Still....  You shudder at the thought of being turned into a girl.  The idea of being filled with a man's cock simply repulses you.  You can't imagine what she must have been like as a boy to crave it all the time the way that she does now.

"I think that's all the questions I have right now," you say.

"Great," says Coach Donovan, "let me take you to your first class."
