After his recent discovery, the young man rushed to the nearest hospital to find out what was wrong with him. The fact that his bodily features were getting more feminine by the night was a bit startling enough. Now that he was starting to turn blue, he knew that he had to get some answers.

When he finally got to the hospital, he checked himself, using one of the walls from a nearby bus stop as a mirror, to make sure he was healthy.

"I'm not choking, there are no unknown freakish diseases that I have, I'm practically healthy!" He said to himself. He went inside and stepped toward the front desk.

"Yes? How may I help you?" A female nurse asked while looking at her stack of papers.

The young man panted a few breaths before saying; "Yes, I'd like to see a doctor who's available."

"I'll see who I can get for--" The female nurse started before screaming in horror at the young man's skin tone.

This confused the young man. The female nurse called for an emergency room that was available. Next thing he knew, there was a whole team of doctors and nurses at the front desk, ready to take the young man to the ER.

He didn't know why though. He got that his skin was unusually blue, but should the Doctor at least check to see if there was anything major, before jumping the gun?

The doctors sprung into action as they started emergency prep for the young man. They put him on a stretched and rolled him to the nearest Emergency Room, while taking his temperature and his other credentials.

While doing that, the doctors noticed something; he was perfectly healthy. No hypothermia, no malnutrition, nothing wrong with his blood, everything was normal. The female nurse who'd freaked out earlier instantly felt a little guilty.

The head doctor immediately gave the nurse a stern look.

" Nurse Mindy, I've told you not everything that looks odd is an emergency." He said, after calling off the emergency preparations.

"Sorry." Nurse Mindy said before leaving the room. The rest of the doctors followed suit.

"I'm Doctor Warcholak. Sorry for all the ruckus." The doctor apologized.

The young man relied, "No worries. I can see why she freaked out."

"Yes, your slightly tinted skin does look concerning. It looks like methemoglobinemia, but there was nothing wrong with your blood." The doctor continued, stroking his chin.

"Methe-what?" The young man questioned with a confused look on his face.

"Methemoglobinemia." Dr. Warcholak repeated. "Its an extremely rare genetic skin condition where the amount of methemoglobin is higher than usual, and causes the skin to be blue. But your blood is perfectly fine."

"Oh, well thank goodness I don't have that!" The young man sighed with relief. But i still don't know why my skin is turning blue, or why body parts are starting to look less manly."

The second part took Dr. Warcholak by surprise. "You say your body parts are becoming less masculine?" He asked.

The young man nodded.

With that, the doctor began a very close examination of the young man's body. "Have you been keeping up with your diet?" He asked. The young man nodded nervously.

After the close examination, the doctor proceeded to take the man's height and weight.

"After everything was done, Dr. Warcholak went back ti the young man with the results.

"Well" he started "I have good news and bad news."

The young man started to tense up a little.

Dr. Warcholak continued. "The good news is everything is fine, your height and weight is that of a healthy male." He said happily.

This made the young smile a little bit. But he still had the bad news to worry about.

Dr. Warcholak took a deep breath before saying. "The bad news is we don't know the cause of the blue skin."

"Oh" the young man said dejectedly. But his thought were quickly interrupted by a following statement.

"There's one other thing." Dr. Warcholak said. The reason for the changing body parts is, well," he paused, wondering how the young man would take the news.

"What is it?!" The young man asked, just itching to know what was wrong with his body.

"You're transgender." The doctor deadpanned.

This hit the young man like a brick to the face. "Wait... I'm WHAT?!?!

"I know this is all very shocking to you, but that's the only analysis me and my colleagues could come with. I'm sorry." The doctor apologized.

The young man just sat there, still trying to comprehend the situation at hand. "It's ok. You all tried your best." He said, smiling sadly.

"The least we could do is give you the cure for your blue skin, however it is temporary, and will only last a few days." Dr. Warcholak mentioned.

"I don't mind." The young man said, waving a dismissive hand.

After getting the medicine injected into his body, the young man left the hospital and went home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After he went inside his home, the young man slumped into his couch.

"I can believe I'm transgender." His said to himself out loud. He put his hands on his face and noticed his skin was starting to go back to it's original skin color.

"Well, at least my skin is starting to look normal again." His said, before letting out a yawn. "I guess a mid-day nap wouldn't hurt."

After preparing himself for the nap, the young man went to sleep.

It didn't take long for that beam of magic to come in through the window again. However, there was more of it, and it looked an even darker blue.

There was a weird shing-ing sound that the magic made that made it hard for the young man to sleep. "What is that noise?!" He mumbled as he opened his eyes.

The magic seemed to know that he was starting to wake and tried to escape through the window, but it was too late. Soon the young man's eyes met that magical beam.

The young man leapt out of bed. "What is that?!" He asked fearfully.

The beam did nothing but swirl itself around the young man's body once more.

" Who, or better yet, what are you?" The young man asked.

The beam swirled itself around his hands and his feet. That's when the young man put two and two together.

"So you're the thing that's making me change?!" He asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.

As if the beam knew what he was talking about, the "front" of it nodded.

"Well, glad I found out." The man said with a good natured laugh. "Now if you don't mind changing me back--" He couldn't finish his sentence before the beam instantly rushed out the window.

"Hey!" The man yelled out, following the beam to the window. "What did I say?" He asked himself, while scratching his head and looking out the window.
