== Plot ==
Leon is a struggling artist working in a fantasy and new age magic themed shop. His boss Shelly gives him his first closing shift and is packing to go home for the day. She asks Leon if he can put the finishing touches on the Fairy exhibit the store is setting up in the next room. Leon agrees and his best friend Chelsea comes in to give him a "Forest and Fairies" role play book so he can write for a campaign he's putting together while alone in a slow shop. Shelly greets Chelsea but asks her not to keep Leon busy for too long before she leaves. The two friends talk a bit and Chelsea asks if Leon if he wants to ditch work early and come out drinking with some friends. She also mentions a guy named Travis will be playing in his band at the Bar. Leon is slightly embarrassed as he's had a crush on Travis since High School but doesn't think Travis is "even like that". Chelsea gets a bit assertive saying how Leon has been a downer since he dropped out of art school, and he can't just live in a fantasy world and play make believe all the time with real life passing by while he shies away from everyone but her. Chelsea quickly catches how harsh she said all that and apologizes but Leon assures her its fine and agrees to consider her offer to join her tonight. Once she leaves Leon berates himself for being so depressed but still wishes he could live in a fantasy world and live any life he chooses. As he thinks this however a voice calls out to him saying "find me" and calls him into the next room where the Fairy exhibit is set up with various figures, houses and lights. Leon admires the details and merchandise but then sees one small hanging Fae house glowing among the others and plucks it off the tree display. As he holds it, he hears someone scream "let me out of here!!!" and drops the house on the ground where it breaks. One of its shards however glow and reform into a small Cyan colored Fairy who introduces herself as Celeste and thanks Leon for freeing her. Leon is shocked at the realization that Faeries actually exist and asks Celeste how she was trapped. Celeste giggles claiming she probably drunk too much mead and can't remember and then admires the exhibit around them. As Leon talks with her Celeste offers him a wish for his kindness but Leon feels his wish is already fulfilled by finding a real live fairy, but Celeste knows what he was thinking earlier about being anyone. She flies around him and bobs him on the forehead with her wand, but Leon complains its sharp. Celeste then flies out of sight while he rubs his head but as Leon calls out to her Shelly comes back in saying she left her Cell Phone in the office and brought a Pizza for Leon and Chelsea. But as Leon is playing off his behavior and looking around for Celeste, he notices he's started to change and has grown breasts. Confused he tries to keep talking to Shelly while hiding himself behind a larger statue. Shelly is confused as to what he's doing and Leon keeps acting weird but tries to play it off as he transforms afraid to be seen. Shelly sarcastically accepts it and leaves for the evening again. By the time she's out the door Leon has transformed from the neck down and when he speaks out load about his genitals changing, he realizes his voice is now feminine as well. His head and hair top of the transformation and Leon is now fully transformed into a woman. Celeste re-appears laughing saying how it's funny he (now she) was acting like a total weirdo not realizing she'd hid the transformation from Shelly as it was happening. Leon (now Leah) asks why she did this and Celeste says she said she wished to be anyone, so she made her Lea, a talented, confident, and successful artist. Though still hesitant about being a woman Lea is shown her reflection and admires her figure, gaining the confidence she lacked as Leon. Leah then agrees to give it a shot so long as Celeste agrees to change her back if she doesn't like it. Celeste says she can change back whenever she likes and gleefully suggests they both go out and get a drink. 
== Trivia ==
* This animation was released one day after the supposed release date on the 7th of February. To compensate for this delay, the release of the next animation, Stealing From Sis: Wedding Bells - Episode 6, was moved up by one day.
* Despite "Age of Adventure" seeming to be the SF universe's parody of Dungeons and Dragons this animation references a similar parody of it in the form of "Forests and Fairies' however this may merely be a different variant of roleplaying game in the SF universe. 
* Though never mentioned its likely Celeste's magic included a form of Mass Memory Alter so Leah took Leon's place as opposed to being a whole new person. 
* This animation introduced Faeries to the SF universe as the 4th fully confirmed fantasy creature (Outside of Age of Adventure) the others being Dragons from The Heist, Demons from Babe out of Hell and Mermaids from Beauty of the Sea.
