His and Hers
Morpheus


  Strolling through the mall, Simon kept his attention shifting from
shop to shop, wondering just where he could find what he was looking
for. Even though he wasn't quite sure exactly what he was looking for
just yet, Simon knew that he didn't have much more time to find it. The
wedding was tomorrow and he still hadn't found a present.

  Frowning in impatience, Simon kept walking through the mall, still
looking. He just had to find a wedding gift in time, and wished that he
hadn't procrastinated until the last minute. His brother Dan was getting
married, and Simon just had to get him something good. Even if he didn't
know what that something was just yet. And of course his limited budget
didn't help much either.

  Without paying too much attention to just where he was going, Simon
continued his search through the mall, stopping suddenly, unsure of why
he did so. Looking around curiously, Simon saw that none of the shops
around him would probably have what he was looking for. At least he
didn't think so. Then why had he stopped, he wondered to himself. Then
almost on their own, Simon's eyes moved to a sign over a door. A sign
that said Spells R Us.

  Curious, Simon glanced at the display windows outside the shop,
noticing a few odds and ends in them, including something that looked
like an Alladin's lamp. Simon chuckled at that, but didn't really think
that it would be an appropriate gift for a wedding. If it was just for
Dan sure, but he didn't think Theresa would go for it. Besides, it was
probably out of his price range as well.

  Though Simon didn't expect to find anything inside the little shop, he
did find himself getting curious about it anyway. "I wonder..." he mused
to himself, thinking that any place with "magic lamps" in the window
couldn't be all bad. Having made up his mind, Simon went on into the
store, ignoring the faint tinkle of a bell over his head as he looked
around. The variety of things available surprised him, and he couldn't
help but wondering if maybe he just might find something worthwhile
after all.

  "Are you looking for anything in particular sir?" a voice behind Simon
asked, causing him to nervously jump. Turning around, he was startled to
see an odd looking old man standing there, dressed in some sort of faded
bath robe. Simon smiled faintly at this eccentricity, and told the old
man that he was just looking. "Go right ahead" the Old Man told him with
a faint smile.

  "Let's see..." Simon mused as he walked around the shop, seeing
antiques, movies, toys and almost anything that he could imagine. Seeing
some sexy lingerie that he knew Dan would enjoy, he briefly considered
that, but not only was it obviously out of his price range, but he
rather doubted that it would be appreciated coming from him.

  While Simon was looking at several cute statuettes of naked women, the
Old Man came up next to him again, saying "Perhaps I might be of some
assistance."

  Simon frowned, not sure that he wanted to ask for help. But then
again, he hadn't asked, this guy had just offered it. Sighing, Simon
admitted "I'm looking for a wedding present, and I really don't have
very much money"

  The Old Man nodded thoughtfully, then suggested "I think I just might
have what you're looking for." Smiling, he gestured for Simon to follow
him as he walked to another shelf. "Here we are" he said, leaning over.
Simon watched curiously as he pulled something off of the shelf,
recognizing it as a somewhat fluffy white towel. The Old Man grabbed
another one off the shelf and unfolded them both, giving Simon a clear
view of the towels, and of the embroidery each had on one end. One
clearly said HIS is dark blue, and the other one said HERS in a pretty
pink. "Perhaps a matching set of towels would be an appropriate gift"
The Old Man suggested as he folded them up again.

  "Perfect" Simon said with a grin, accepting the towels as the Old Man
handed them to him. Looking at the two white towels in his hands, Simon
wished that he could afford something a little nice for his only
brother, but unfortunately he couldn't. The towels were not only within
his budget though, but something that Dan and Theresa should both be
able to use. "How much?" he asked the Old Man as they walked back to the
counter in front together.

  After Simon had handed over the money at the register, the Old Man
smiled and told him "I hope that your brother and his bride enjoy your
gift" Simon thanked the Old Man and quickly left the store, not
realizing until he'd gotten to his car that he'd never said it was his
brother who was gettting married.

  "Why thank you Simon" Theresa told him as she held the towels in her
hand.

  "Yeah" Dan told his brother, "Thanks a lot" Then he quickly gave Simon
a hug, pulling away before both men got too emberassed. Dan just smiled
in a rather goofy way, and turned back to his beautiful new bride.
Theresa had dark brown hair, nearly black in the right light and was a
stunning 23 year old woman. A year younger than Dan himself.

  Simon smiled back, looking rather emberassed. "I just wish I could
have got you something better" He shrugged as if to say he was sorry
again. Then turning to Theresa, Simon told her "Welcome to the family,
though I think you could have done better than this bum" he grinned at
his joke, seeing that Dan was grinning too. "I'd better leave you love
birds alone" Simon told them.

  "Oh, we'll have plenty of time alone on our honeymoon" Dan chuckled as
he looked longingly at Theresa, making her blush slightly. Then glancing
down at his watch, Dan told everyone "We're going to have to leave
pretty soon if we want to catch the plane on time" All the guests
cheered, urging the newlyweds to finish opening their gifts first.
Giving Theresa a quick kiss, Dan handed her the next present to open,
wondering if it was another toaster.

  Two days into their honeymoon, Dan and Theresa woke up in the hotel
room that they'd rented, with Dan looking into Theresa's eyes saying "I
can't believe how beautiful you are honey"

  Theresa blushed slightly but said "You aren't so bad yourself Tiger"
She giggled, then gave Dan a passionate kiss. Grinning widely, she added
"Last night was good, but I think it could have been better"

  "Better?" Dan said uncertainly. As far as he was concerned, the night
before had been heaven. And he thought that he'd satisfied her. How
could it have been any better?

  Seeing the look on Dan's face, Theresa giggled, "Oh yeah. It could
have been a lot better. And you know what they say.... "

  "What's that?" Dan asked her.

  As Theresa jumped on top of him, she said "Practice makes perfect"
before they were both silenced by a deep kiss.

  "God woman" Dan said as he climbed out of their bed, having just
finished another lovemaking session "you are insatiable" Theresa just
grinned back from her position on the bed still. Dan shook his head.
He'd already come twice, and he hadn't even been awake for an hour yet.
"That woman will kill me" he told himself as he walked towards the
bathroom, but thinking that it would be a fantastic way to go.

  While showering, Dan thought that he could really get used to married
life. Theresa was so wonderfull and he really loved her. She even
surprised him a little too. For a woman who'd been a virgin until
several nights earlier, she certainly had a strong interest in sex now.
Not that Dan minded in the least.

  As Dan was finishing his shower, he heard Theresa's voice calling out
sweetly "Oh Dan....I've got an itch that I can't scratch on my own"

  Feeling his errection beginning to return, Dan grinned and looked
down, saying "I know you're getting tired little buddy, but you can use
the excercise." Turning off the faucet, Dan called out to his new wife,
"Hold your horses. I'm still recovering from the last session" Grinning,
Dan wondered if he'd even survive his honeymoon.

  Opening the shower door, Dan stuck his arm out, reaching for a towel.
Even though the hotel had provided towels for their use, he and Theresa
had agreed that it seemed more appropriate to use the ones that Simon
had given them. His and Hers. It sort of make them feel even more like
they were married. Grabing hold of a towel, Dan brought it into the
shower with him and started to dry himself off, not noticing that he'd
grabbed Theresa's towel by mistake.

  As Dan started drying himself off, he noticed a slight tingling
sensation as the towel passsed over his skin. Strange, he thought to
himself, deciding that it was some sort of static charge. Climbing out
of the shower, Dan finished drying himself off, noticing that the
strange tingling was getting even stronger. Shrugging it off, he wrapped
the towel around his waist and went back into the room where Theresa was
waiting for him.

  "My turn" she said cheerfully, rushing past Dan and into the shower.
Dan watched the bathroom door close with mixed feelings. Partly
disapointed that she hadn't wanted to continue with their earlier
activities, and party relief for the same reason.

  With the strange tingling still running over his body, Dan took the
towel odd, dropping it to the floor as he decided that it was time to
start getting dressed. Suddenly Dan noticed that something was wrong,
though he couldn't place what it was at first. Then it dawned on him.
His leg hair was gone. His legs were now completely smooth and hairless,
whereas just minutes go they were as hairy as they normally were.
"What's going on?" Dan nervously asked himself, noticing that the hair
on his arms and chest had also disapeared, leaving his whole body almost
hairless.

  Beginning to get a little scared, Dan looked over his body for other
changes, noticing immedietly that his nipples were a lot darker, and a
lot bigger. "What the hell?" he asked nervously, feeling them with his
fingers. His chest even felt fat and soft, making Dan get more worried.
Then whatever had happened seemed to speed up, and Dan gasped as his
nipples started to push out more and more, pushed out by his now growing
chest. Within moments Dan gasped as he looked down to see a pair of
perfectly formed, though small female breasts on himself, and they were
still growing. "Oh God" he cried out as he grabbed for his penis,
feeling how small it was in his hands, and that it was still shrinking,
pulling into his body. That too quickly passed and Dan was horrified to
find a womans vagina between his legs.

  Uncertainly Dan examined himself more, realizing that whatever had
happened to him had stopped. That he wasn't changing anymore, but that
he now seemed to be a girl. A woman. "Oh shit" Dan said, hurrying to the
mirror on the wall of the bedroom, seeing a very pretty girl of his own
age looking back at him. "Holy shit" he repeaded nervously, beginning to
notice something about the girl in the mirror. She looked an aweful lot
like him, just female instead.

  Shaking his head in disbelief, Dan felt his now long hair brushing
against his shoulders. "I can't believe this" he muttered uncertainly as
he sat down on the edge of the bed, wondering what had happened to him.
Looking down, Dan wondered suddenly how he was going to be able to face
Theresa looking like that. "Oh shit" he muttered once again, feeling
very scared and uncertain. As his eyes were staring at the floor,
something pink caught his attentioin. The towel had HERS written on it,
in bright pink. "Oh my God" Dan said in realization. Somehow the towel
had changed him, though he certainly had no idea how. But if he had this
one......

  Realizing that the sound of the shower had stopped, Dan cried out
"Theresa"

  Just as he'd done that, the bathroom door opened and Theresa stepped
out, asking "What?", a big white towel wrapped around her body. And HIS
clearly visible on the end in blue. Her eyes widened suddenly as she saw
Dan sitting there, and she snapped "Who are you? Where's Dan at?"

  "I am Dan" he protested weakly, staring at her in horror as he already
noticed the changes in her body. Her breasts were smaller, she seemed to
be just a little taller, making Dan realize that he was probably
shorter, and her body just didn't look right. "Take off the towel" he
told her, knowing that it was already too late. She just stared at him
blankly, then looked down and noticed the changes that were overcoming
her body.

  "What's happening to me?" Theresa demanded, then looked threateningly
at Dan while he protested that he wasn't the one who'd done it. She
stared at herself, then at him and nervously asked "Dan? Is that you?"
Dan nodded, wincing at the deeper, more male voice that was coming from
Theresa's throat. Then Theresa had finished changing as well, and the
newlyweds stared at each other in shock and disbelief for several long
minutes.

  Finally Theresa nervously asked "What's happened to us?"

  Gulping, Dan told her "I'm not sure, but..." he grabbed at her towel,
showing where it said HIS, then gestured to the towel on the floor with
HERS clearly visible "I'm pretty sure that the towels did this."

  "But that doesn't make sense" Theresa protested. "Just using the wrong
towels can't change people's sexes"

  Dan nodded, finding it uncomfortable to have to look up to see
Theresa's eyes, and finding it just as strange to think of this man as
Theresa. As his wife. "But there's no other explanation" he told her,
wincing slightly at the unfamiliar weight on his chest. "God this feels
weird" he muttered. Then Dan suddenly grinned as an idea dawned on him.
"Maybe since the wrong towels changed us, the right ones will change us
back."

  "All right" Theresa said, obviously a little emberassed since Dan was
staring right at her, and she'd just been examining her new penis.
"Let's try it" she handed Dan the HIS towel while he picked up the HERS
towl from the floor and handed it to her. Both of them quickly wrapped
the towels around themselves, waiting for several minutes before Dan
exclaimed in disapointment "Nothing" Frowning, he threw his towel onto
the floor, crying "Damn" as his breasts jiggled from the movement.
Theresa chuckled slightly at Dan's discomfort, though was obviously not
too comfortable herself.

  The newlyweds looked at each other uncertainly, then started hugging
each other, each needing the comfort the other had to offer. Breaking
apart after a few minutes, Theresa looked down at Dan's breasts and
nervously touched one, making him squirm slightly, though he didn't
offer any resistance. "This is so freaky" Theresa said, pulling her hand
away. Dan nodded, emberassed to realize that Theresa's touch had felt
very good on his chest. His nipples had even started to harden, and by
the look on Theresa's face, she'd obviously noticed it.

  After a moment, Theresa looked at her towel thoughtfully, then smiled
faintly. "I've got to go to the bathroom" she said, getting up and
walking in that direction. After she'd closed the door behind her, Dan
could hear the sound of her peeing into the toilet, and hear her
laughing through the door. "It's like playing with a firehose" she
called out to him, "Though it's not easy to aim" Dan hoped that she
cleaned whatever mess she'd made on the floor up, then chuckled in spite
of himself as he realized how unimpmortant that was at the moment.

  Just a minute later, Dan was startled to hear the sound of the shower
on again, though it was only on for maybe 15 seconds before it was
turned back off. "What's she up to?" Dan asked himself. Dan waited for
Theresa to get back out there, and called out "What's taking so long?"
though she didn't answer. Beginning to get worried, Dan was considering
going in after her when the door finally opened back up, and Theresa
came walking back into the living room, the towel wrapped around her
body. Dan gasped and did a doubletake as he realized that she was
herself again. She was a woman again. "How....?" Dan asked, standing up
and staring at her in relief.

  Theresa grinned broadly. "I figured that maybe they have to do what
towels are meant for in order to work. Drying you off." Theresa grinned
triumphantly, adding as she twirled around "And it obviously worked."

  "Great" Dan exclaimed excitedly as he grabbed for the towel, "Now I
can get back to normal" But before Dan got very far, Theresa had come up
to him and surprised him with a kiss. "What's that for?" he asked her.

  Licking her lips, Theresa smiled and said "I want to try something
first." Before Dan could protest, she put a finger to his lips and said
"Shhh. Please trust me."

  Looking at her, Dan nodded. "All right"

  "Be right back" she said excitedly as she grabbed the towel out of
Dan's hand and ran back into the bathroom. As soon as Dan heard the
shower on again, he knew what she was doing. His suspicions where
confirmed as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, already looking
more male again, and quickly changing back into a guy. "How do you like
it?" she asked as she posed in some very feminine poses, sending Dan
into spasms of laughter at how rediculous she looked doing so as a guy.

  "Oh, real sexy" he told her, trying to stiffle his laugh.

  "You think so?" she practically cooed, making Dan lose it and burst
into laughter again.

  Once they'd both calmed down a little, Theresa came over to Dan,
catching him by surprise as she gave him a kiss. Though Dan didn't like
the idea of kissing another man, he knew that this was really Theresa
and it was hard to think of her as a man, even though he could feel a
faint stubble from her cheek. Kissing her back passionately, Dan's
nipples started to harden and poke out, and a strong ache in his groin
made him feel as if he was on fire. When they finally broke apart, Dan
gasped for air, and saying all he could think. "Wow"

  "You liked it?" Theresa asked, and Dan nodded, a little surprised to
feel a bulge from Theresa's groin poking him in the side. Theresa
gulped, hesitating for a moment, the said "I was wondering if you'd like
to....." she glanced down at their naked bodies and gave Dan a nervous
smile. "You know"

  Dan stared at her in stunned silence, startled to say the least by her
suggestion. But why not, he asked himself, very aware of how horney he
felt, and how strange that was with a female body. They were married
after all, and anyways this was temporary. Feeling a strong desire in
his body, Dan had already made up his mind, and caught Theresa by
surprise as he jumped on her and locked her in a deep kiss. "I take that
as a yes" she muttered once Dan finally pulled his lips away.

  Several hours later, Theresa sat up in bed, gasping. "Again? Don't you
ever get tired?"

  Dan just grinned back at her and crooked his finger. "Come on honey,
I've still got an itch that I can't scratch by myself" Theresa moaned,
asking "Why me?" wondering if she'd created a monster. She'd already
come 3 times and wasn't sure if she could do it anymore, but Dan still
wanted more. Shaking her head, Theresa climbed back into bed, looking
forward to when they switched back to normal. As great as it was to have
sex as a guy, she wasn't sure that she could keep up with Dan for much
longer.

  By the end of their honeymoon, Dan and Theresa had switched back and
forth numerous times, sometimes going out as two girls for shopping, and
sometimes going out in reversed sex for dinner. As Dan was packing their
suitcases to go back home, he carefully placed the towels into the carry
on, not wanting to take any risks with losing them. He smiled as he
fondly remembered the great time that they'd had so far, and looking
down at his normal male self, couldn't wait until they'd gotten back
home and could play around again.

  Closing the suitcases up, Dan told Theresa "The taxi should be here in
just a little while" Still smiling, Dan reminded himself that he'd have
to thank Simon again for the towels. They were by far the best wedding
present that they'd been given, and he knew that they'd continue to get
a LOT of use.

  Elsewhere an Old Man smiled, happy to have helped the newlyweds to
cement their relationship, knowing that they'd have a long, and happy
marriage.

The End
