    The bar was dimly lit, the light sounds of glasses clinking, people chattering accompanying Ken as he made his way inside. He adjusted the collar of his shirt, peering around nervously as he felt his heart pound. This was just a simple speed dating event… nothing could go wrong, right? At most he’d fail… just like he had countless times in the past.
    Soon, the event was well under way, and Ken sat opposite a woman a bit older than him, probably in her early thirties. “Is this your first time at one of these events?” She asked, taking a sip from her cocktail. “N-no… I think it's my twelfth.” “Oh, really?” A look of sympathy came over her face and Ken winced, knowing he'd have no chance.
    “Well, don't be discouraged!” The woman smiled and patted the back of Ken's hand, her emerald eyes seeming to sparkle for just a moment. “Maybe this will be the one!” “Thank you…” Ken blushed, grasped his glass of beer and took a sip, failing to notice that his hands had slimmed, gaining a layer of pink nail polish. Just then, a bell rang, signaling the end of the round. Ding.
    “What do you do for a living?” Now Ken's ‘date’ was a younger girl who looked to be around his age, fresh out of school. “W-well, I studied finance, and I'm interning at a bank right now…” “Ooh, really?” She giggled, and Ken felt his heart lift - but then the girl looked aside, fiddling with her fingers awkwardly. “That’s interesting…” Ken sighed inwardly, downcast eyes now covered by the longer bangs that fell over his face.
    Ding. Ken sat across a short-haired girl who looked pretty athletic, clearly the tomboyish type. “So! What sort of hobbies do you have? Sports you play, anything?” “Um… I guess I like playing… video games…?” Oh no, that's an instant turnoff! “Oh, and I like swimming too, I guess…” Where had that come from? While Ken's brows furrowed a bit in confusion, his arms and legs became more slender and graceful, their baby fat diminished. Ding.
    “I work at a makeup company!” The blonde girl sitting opposite Ken giggled, manicured fingers covering her mouth. “So if you ever want to buy anything from us, I could give you a discount…” “Why… would I want to buy makeup?" It seemed that Ken would definitely need some in the future though, as a tasteful layer of makeup was applied to facial features that were shifting to become more mature and feminine, his eyes changing into blue. Ding.
    "W-wait… is this a mistake?" Ken looked around, finding no response, and turned back towards the young man sharing a table with him. “Um… hi?” “H-hello…” The other man seemed a little awkward too, but who could blame him? Or the organizers who had seemingly made a mistake with his pairing - the two breasts on the front of his chest would be enough to make anyone think him to be a girl. Ding.
    “What’s your name?” Ken’s voice had changed completely, his tone as sweet as smooth as honey as he sipped from a glass of wine, smiling a little nervously at the man opposite him. “I-it’s Neil…” “Neil? That’s a nice name!” Ken’s dress shirt became a woolen sweater with a window in the front that showed off plenty of his generous cleavage, and his trousers shifted into a long skirt reaching down past his knees. Ding.
    Ooh, this one was a keeper. Ken smiled at the well-dressed young man that had been selected to be her next partner, putting a hand under her chin and resting her other on the table. “Want some~?” She pointed towards the glass of whisky sitting before her on the table, as if issuing a challenge. “Of course!” The man shot her a grin, picking up the glass before him and downing it in one go. “You’re the first guy I’ve met tonight who’s been able to do it, you know~” “Oh?” He laughed, “Now you’re just embarrassing me…”
    Ding. And just like that, their time was over. But before the young man got up to leave… “You want to meet after this thing’s over? ” “Ahh…” She saw him blush, swallow. “Sure thing! See you later, then~” Kim smiled as she watched him leave, already looking forward to later. It was her first time trying out one of these speed dating events after all… and though she had no idea about whether it would work, she was hopeful! Maybe he would turn out to be the one for her…
