## Plot

After her transformation is complete Elizabeth is in awe of her new body. Not only is she a beautiful woman but her hand no longer ache from the accident that kept her from working for so long as George. She no longer feels any sourness or pain and she loves not having a dirty hairy body. As she is getting used to the feeling of being a woman a man comes up behind her and addresses her by name as if he recognizes her. The man is Tommy Sanders whom she knew in high school, but she is surprised he recognizes her as a woman. Tommy admires how good she looks and says how she was such a beautiful girl in high school. Despite not having seen him in 10 years Elizabeth is happy to see her old friend and glad he seems to know her as if she had always been a girl. The two friends talk with Tommy saying how he's staying in town to visit family and has no significant other to spend Christmas with. Elizabeth is surprised such a nice and good looking guy is still single. With a bit of flirting the two agree to have a drink together and head to the hotel bar nearby.

In a booth looking out over the city the two friends catch up, with Tommy saying he's an executive with Cosmetic Enhancements now and asking if Elizabeth is a model. While she deflects the question due to not really having a job, she likes the idea of being a model and Tommy says he may be able to arrange it with his company. The two then start to get a bit flirtier and Tommy says how he remembers Elizabeth as a cheer leader for the soccer team he was on in High School and how he regretted not asking her to prom. Elizabeth then says how she always had a crush on Tommy but was worried he'd never feel the same. With little push the couple end up kissing. Tommy then leaves to get the two of them some drinks and as he walks away Elizabeth notices Noelle at the bar. She goes over to talk with her and thank her for her Christmas gift. Noelle is happy to see that she has found happiness as her new self so fast and greets her warmly. Elizabeth asks why she turned her (him) into this form. Noelle simply says she could tell that she was a good and kind soul that needed to escape from a life that was holding her back, so she worked a few things out and not only transformed and memory altered her into Elizabeth but has also arranged a new condo and job at a local magazine for her through a few family members. Elizabeth is so grateful but still can't believe that someone went to all that trouble for someone like her. Noelle says how she could have taken and sold the present that she had dropped but instead she (George) returned it without question and showed that he was such a kind soul. Granting her a Christmas wish was the least she could do. Elizabeth thanks her and they both wish each other a Merry Christmas. Tommy returns with a couple drinks soon after and he is quick to invite Elizabeth up to his hotel room for the night.
