Nobody noticed much of anything for a while, and Jon was beginning to think the clothes items from the box did change reality. Until trigonometry class, when as soon as the class was ended, his friend Mark walked up to himand whispered "Your socks are showing, and they look funny. More like pantyhose."
"Yeah, it's a long story," said Jon.
"In fact that isn't all. Uh, Jon, is there something that people should know about you?"
"Like what?"
"Like you dressing in women's clothes?"
"These are jeans," said Jon, not bothering to try explaining the pantyhose. "What's women's clothes about them?"
"Well, they look like they're on a woman."
Jon realized then that the clothes certainly had not changed memories. Of course, if he wanted them to he could wish that they do, but he was just going to go with it. "I'll tell you what. It's not as it seems. But we've got gym next. We'll be in the locker room and I'll explain it all there."
Jon ran off to get his shorts and go to the locker room. Mark was already waiting there. Showing what the magic clothes did was a risk--he could be thought of as a freak at a minimum, but he was going to try it anyway.
He said "Watch" to Mark and without further explanation unzipped and pulled down his jeans. "You really are a cross--" But at that point Jon pulled down the hose too and Mark and anyone else watching could see the truth; everything from his waist line to his feet was completely female.
"Nice legs," muttered someone.
"It's magic," said Jon. "You put these on. Anything they cover changes. The hose are the best because they go down to your feet. You can try the pants if you want to stop at the ankles."
"No way!" said Mark.
"No way!" said another boy who was watching. "That's Harry Potter stuff! You can't really do it!"
"Yes you can," explained Jon. "If you want to try it, put on this hose or these pants. But I warn you, I can't change you back until I go home and get the guy clothes that change you back."
The growing crowd looked at the hose and pants, hesitating, until one person....
