At the Drug Store

It was, mercifully, only a short walk to the drug store, but Jon had never felt more embarrassed in all of his life. Sure he had nail polish and was wearing a dress, but he didn't look anything like a girl. Someone even shouted "Worst! Drag queen! Ever!" at him as he walked by.
But no matter how humiliated he felt at the moment, he knew that things were only going to get a whole hell of a lot worse as soon as he actually reached the drug store; but there was no way out of it now; he needed Karyn to know how serious he was about making amends.
By the time he reached the drug store, he had almost convinced himself that the whole thing was just a test on Karyn's part...but that reassuring notion was given a savage towel snap to the nads almost immediately when Karyn put a firm hand on his shoulder.
"Not so fast Jon," she said, brandishing the stone. "There's something I need to do first. I wish that there would be a new type of birth control pill; one which would speed-up a person's metabolism so that the side effects of the female hormones would be complete within only a few weeks rather than years, and that it would also have the effect, when used over the long term, of permanently altering your glands to produce female hormones instead of male ones. I also wish that it was FDA approved, and available over the counter and without a prescription."
Jon gulped; he should have expected something like this; at least with normal bith control, he wouldn't notice any changes within a few months, but now..?
"Karyn..." Jon pleaded.
"What's the matter, Jon?" she mocked. "Do you want to prove you're sorry for what you did or not?"
"Of course I do, but..."
"Then go get them, tiger! Oh and remember; you need to tell them explicitly why you want them, or I'll know you're not serious."
Jon inhaled sharply; he was close to tears, but he couldn't let Karyn see that. Besides; it was his fault.Now it was time to face the music.
He drew alot of heads as he made his way over to the drug counter. He tried not to let it get to him. Jon cleared his throat: "Excuse me,"
The pharmacist turned to face him, immediately registering his surprise. What's the matter, Jon thought darkly. You've never seen a teenage boy in a dress before?
"May I help you?" The Pharmacist asked, behaving professionally.
"Yes," Jon said. "I want to buy some of those new and impoved female birth control pills. The ones with the accelerated side effects." He hesitated. Looking around, he saw Karyn was watching him. "IwantthembecauseIhatebeingamanandlongtobecomeawoman." He muttered quickly.
"I'm sorry, i couldn't quite hear you," replied the Pharmacist.
Best to just get it iver with, Jon thought. "I said, 'I want the female hormones, because I hate being a man and long to become a woman."
This now was said loudly enough that the entire store could hear him. Jon flushed in embarassment.
"I see," said the pharmacist. "Well...You are aware that these pills will only give you female secondary sex characteristics, not actually change your gender?"
"I know," said Jon. Out of his peripheral vision, he could see Karyn glowering at him. "But it will still be a first step on my beatiful journey towards womanhood." he added hastily.
"...Ah." Said the pharmacist at length. He produced a small packet, containing three rows of ten light pink pills on a sheet of plastic. "Well here's a month's worth of them; you should take one a day, at the end of which...well, you probably won't need them anymore. That will be fifty dollars please."
Jon nodded curtly, and handed the man his money. The pharmacist handed him his pills.
