Date: Mon, 20 Oct 1997 23:02:15 +0100 (MET) From: J Adams Subject: Holloween Story: SRU/ A Tale of Three by Jennifer Adams SPELLLS-R-US A Tale of Three by Jennifer Adams Dan, Vance, and Phil were walking through the mall. They had just left their weekly meeting of the Aggie Tech Nerd Club known as the Chess Club. All three of them were confirmed nerds as were all the members of the Chess Club. For some strange reason, the only people who joined the Chess Club at Aggie, were all confirmed nerds. It so happened that it was the 30th of October and it was trick-or-treat at the mall. They watched all the children in their Holloween costumes walk up and down the mall and going in and out of the shops. They chuckled at the children, remembering how much fun they had at trick-or-treating. "Wouldn't it be cool if we could go Trick-or Treating, too?" Vance asked. " Yeah." The other two replied. Dan and Vance were almost inseparable. Were you found one, there would be the other. In fact, there were rumors that they were more than just friends. "If you know what I mean." Everyone would say. They knew about the rumors, but never did anything to discount them. Phil, on the other hand, only hung out with them every now and then. Mostly after Chess Club. They would usually hang at the mall, checking out the latest computer software and books. None of them had much interest in the things that other kids their age did. Except, maybe for girls, but they were all too shy for much contact with the fairer sex. As they walked down and corridor by Sears, They found an odd little shop that seemed out of place in a modern shopping mall. They were going to just keep walking, when they noticed a book on the occult the piqued Vance's interest. " C'mon." He said and walked in. As they entered, an old fashioned bell tinkled above the door and an old man walked out of a back room wearing a blue robe. Vance knew that other's might think it was a bathrobe, but he was too intelligent for that. He knew that it was a wizard's robe. ' He must be a wizard.' He though. He looked at Dan and Phil and together they all said. " Trick-or-Treat!!!" The old man chuckled and said. " Boys, it's been a while since anyone's Trick-or-treated me. I miss it. So, how are you to day Vance, Phil and Dan?" " Fine." They answered in unison. Then Vance said. " Are you a real wizard?" " That I am." The old man assured him. " And to reward you for your Trick-or-treat, I will do both. First the Trick." He waved his hand and there was a puff pink of smoke. When it cleared, the trio looked around and everything looked much larger than it had a moment ago. They looked at each other and themselves and found that they were now dressed in costumes and they were now children. Phil was dressed in a blue halter and blue pantaloons and had long jet black hair just like a female character from a recent popular children's movie. Dan was wearing a red dress that was raged at the ends and had translucent wings on his back. He looked like a fairy from another children's cartoon movie about the rain forest. He knew, because he had watched it with his younger cousin when he was baby-sitting her. Vance was wearing a formal golden yellow ball gown. He only saw the previews, but he knew who he was supposed to be. None of them had evidence of breasts so they looked like they couldn't be more than nine or ten years old. The old man spoke. " Don't worry. You'll change back to normal when you leave the mall and there will be no residual effects. Now you can go trick-or-treating with the other kids now that you are all nine year old girls." They visible relaxed when they heard that it was only temporary Dan said. " You mean that we're all real girls?" " Yes, quite a trick, huh?" The old man beamed. Now for your treats." Phil and Dan shrank away from him momentarily. Vance stepped forward. He, or should I say she, was still awed by being in the presence of a real wizard and was undaunted by now being a little girl. She was actually more awed by it. The old man placed a coin in her tiny hand and held one out to Phil, who took it, only after seeing that nothing happened to Vance. Then Dan took the other one the old man held out. Then the old man said. " These are Holloween Wish coins. They will grant the bearer one wish on holloween only. Do be careful what you wish for and how you word you wishes. Word it wrong or wish for something you don't really want and you could be stuck with it until next holloween." He looked down into three little faces. ' What pretty little girls they make.' He thought. " How much for these?" The little girl in the formal gown asked, unable to believe that he was giving them something for nothing. " They are a treat, Vance. Now they won't work today. It's not Holloween yet. Oh, and girls? You might want to call yourselves something else until you leave the mall. Your names don't sound right for suck pretty little girls." He gestured toward a mirror on the wall. Phil looked at it and was a little taken aback. The young girl in the mirror was pretty. She turned and said in the cutest voice she'd ever heard. " I guess you're right. I can't be a Phil now, I look more like a Phyllis." She stepped back and Dan stepped up to the mirror. " Amazing. " She said, looking at the girl who looked almost exactly like the fairy she was dressed as. the only difference was that she had no breasts and her ears weren't pointy. She had the same pixie features to her face, the same short-n-sassy hair cut with black hair. " Call me Krystal." She thought that her voice was pretty. Vance was next. There was little doubt, as she looked in the mirror, that she truly was a beauty. " I'm Valerie." " Well, Phyllis, Krystal, and Valerie. You'd better be on your way, before you miss all the fun. Remember, even after Trick-or-Treat you will still be little girls until you walk out the door of the mall and if you leave before Trick-or-Treat is over, you'll return to normal and won't be able to join back in. If you stay in the mall after Trick-or-Treat you costumes will be replaced with little girl's street clothes. They thanked him and left the shop. Since they all knew that they would return to normal when they left the mall, they were able to relax and enjoy their new girlhood and joined in the fun. They even noticed that they were giggling among themselves like the other girls. After Trick-or-Treat they ducked into the ladies room and sure enough their costumes melted into street clothes. Phyllis wound up dressed in a skirt, blouse and knee socks. Krystal was in jeans and a T-shirt and black flats. Valerie was wearing a pink casual dress and tights. They each went into stalls and checked in their panties. They really were little girls, all right. They looked in the mirror once again, all three together. It really was incredible. " So?" Krystal said. " If we're not going to leave now, what should we do? I think we should take off now." " Oh c'mon." Valerie said. " This is our chance to see how the other half lives, even if we are a little young." Phyllis chimed in. " Yeah, this could be fun. Why don't we go to the arcade?" Krystal looked a little apprehensive. " I don't know... I feel a little silly going out into the mall like this." " Why?" Valerie inquired. " You're wearing jeans and a T- shirt. We're the ones who should be worried, I'm in a dress and Phyllis is in a skirt and blouse." " Yeah but they're pale pink." Krystal sighed. She just turned and followed the other girls, who hadn't let her finish and were already going out the door. They went to the arcade like Phyllis suggested and to Krystal's amazement, she did have a good time. They noticed a couple boys looking at them. They were perhaps 11 or 12. It made all three of them all giddy. Then they left the arcade and just started walking the mall like several other young girls. They walked into a toy store and without thinking about it and walked to an aisle filled with dolls and things. They picked up and looked at a lot of the stuff in the aisle. When they realized that it was all girls' stuff they quickly dropped it and went to an aisle of boys' stuff. As they looked at different things that once caught their attention, they realized that they were now more interested in the girls' stuff. They quickly left the store. As walked along in the mall Phyllis said. " Hey, I noticed something." " What?" Came the response from the other two. " Try this. Tell me my real name." Phyllis replied. Valerie said. " Your real name? It's Phyllis... No, I mean Phyllis. Wait I'm Valerie... No I meant to say Valerie. Oh shoot. Can you say it, Krystal? Krystal. Darn! Shoot! I can't even cuss." Krystal said. " Here goes. You're Phyllis and you're Valerie and I'm Krystal. See I can say it... Wait a minute..." Phyllis continued. " I noticed it in the toy store. We think like girls." " Wow, that's neat." Valerie said. " I hope we don't think like girls when we leave here." Krystal said. Phyllis said. " I'm sure we'll go back to the way we used to think when we leave the mall. That was some trick, huh?" " I'll say." Valerie said, still marveling at her new way of thinking. " Well girls, I'm going to have to go home." Phyllis said. " Hey, I have an idea to try before I go." " What's that?" Valerie said. " I'll go out and come back in and see how our thinking is then. Are you girls going to leave too?" She said. " I'd like to stay a little longer. If I can convince Krystal here to stay with me. I think this is cool." Krystal said. " I guess so, if you really want to Valerie. If you like it so much why don't you wish to stay a little girl?" " 'cause, I don't want to stay a little girl forever. I just want this to last a little longer. That's all." Answered Valerie. " Cool, C'mon." Phyllis said, heading towards the door. The other girls followed her. Phyllis walked through the door of the mall. Nothing happened. She was still a little girl. " What?" She said. Valerie told her to try going out the outer door. She did and she could feel the world swim for a moment. She looked down at herself and she was wearing what Phil had worn today. She reached a larger hand inside her pants and felt around. A huge smile crossed his face. He was Phil again. He turned around and looked at the two little girls standing on the other side of the glass doors. Then he went through the doors and back into the mall. " Hi Krystal, hi Valerie." He said. They said. " Hi Phil." Phil said. " I still can't call you anything but Valerie and Krystal. I still think of you as girls." " Too cool." Valerie said. " Hey, could you do us a favor?" " What's that?" " Call our parents and tell them that we've decided to stay until the mall closes?" " Sure, got a quarter?" The girl handed the young man two shiny quarters and he went to one of the phones on the wall. He called Vance's mother first. " Hello, Mrs. Morgan?" The voice on the other end said. " Yes. Is this Phil?" " Yes, ma'am. I just wanted to let you know that Val...erie is going to stay until the mall closes." 'Damn!' He thought. 'What a goof up.' " Is she there with you?" Phil was shocked. Valerie was stunned when Phil called her Valerie to her mother. Phil answered. " Uh, yeah." " Let me talk to her." Phil handed the phone to Valerie. He whispered. " She wants to talk to her daughter." Valerie blinked. She took the phone and said into the receiver. " Mom?" " Yes dear. I really shouldn't let you stay out so late on a school night. I will this time, but I want you to be very careful on the bus. It's dangerous for a young girl this late at night. Is Krystal with you?" " Yes Mommy, she is." " Good! Stay together. If her mother says she can't stay, then I want you to come home with her. Am I making myself clear?" " Yes, Thank you Mommy." Valerie hung up the phone with an awed expression on her face. " I'm not riding the bus. I drove." " Not if you're nine." Phil laughed. They called Krystal's mother and got the same response. Both mothers thought that they had nine year old girls instead of eighteen year old young men. Phil told them he had to go and they walked him to the door of the mall. A couple of people gave them strange looks. They guessed it must look odd for an eighteen year old guy to be with nine year old girls. At the door Phil said. " Well it's 7:30 the mall closes in an hour and a half, have fun. Tell all about it tomorrow. I'll see you girls tomorrow." He waved and walked out the door. " Well." Krystal said. " What now?" Valerie looked at her friend and said. " I saw some really cute dresses I'm just dying to try on." Krystal's interest was increasing. They went to a girls' clothing store and tried on several outfits. Even Krystal had a fun and told Valerie that she was glad they had stayed. As with all things, this too came to an end and it was soon time to leave. They walked out of the mall and soon were restored to normal. Vance went back in and called his mother to tell her that he had stayed. She told him that he had already done that when Phil called her. She also told him to drive safely. He took Dan home and went home himself. He went straight to bed. He laid in the darkness for some time and thought about the events of the day. Suddenly, he remembered that he didn't get a costume for the holloween dance. That was the whole reason for going to the mall. He was on the dance committee he had to be there, but what should he go as now? With this question on his mind he went to sleep. All day in school, everyone asked if he was going to the dance, since he and Dan were on the committee. He assured everyone that he would be there. He had asked Dan what he was wearing and Dan told him that he was going to wear his dad's football uniform and be a football player. He said that it might help him score with the chicks. He was going to ask Phil, but he hadn't seen Phil all day. Vance had to tutor after school. He was tutoring a new girl. Her name was Patty. He waited for her in the cafeteria. Finally, a girl came in. She was real pretty. No more than that! She was sexy. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She was rather petite with breasts that were a little on the large side. Going by his older sister's chest size, he knew that she wore a B cup, he would have to say that this girl was at least a D cup. She was barely with in the dress code, wearing a white spandex top and minuscule black skirt. She also had on black nylons. He could see her bra under her top and her nipples under that. They looked pretty big too. She giggled a little and said in a high voice that made her sound dingy. " HI I'm Patty. You're Vance, Right?" Poor Vance stumbled all over himself as he answered. " Yes. " She continued. " I can see you're having a little trouble. Do we have to study in here?" " No." He managed. " C'mon." She said, taking his hand and led him out of the building and to some nearby woods. He walked with her and soon the came upon a small shed in the woods. She led him inside. She said. " It might help if we break the ice first." Then she began to undress. Vance couldn't believe this was happening. She was standing before him naked and asked. " Aren't you going to get those off so we can screw?" Poor Vance could only stammer. She walked over and kissed him full on the lips and shoved her hand down his pants. She began to fondle him and he grew hard in her hand. Then she dropped to her knees and opened his pants. When his rigid member popped out, she took it in her mouth. While she was sucking him, She finished undressing him. He was able to help a little. As soon as she had him naked, she led him to a makeshift bed. As he went the realized that he hadn't even known this place had existed. She laid back on the bed and spread her legs. She guided him between them. She helped him find her aching twat and he sunk into her. He thought it felt wonderful and automatically began to pump in and out. It didn't take long for him to reach an orgasm and she went with him. He knew because she was very vocal. When it was over, they laid together until they recovered. Finally they were able to get up and start getting dressed. She asked if would like her to stay nude and he nodded slightly. Then she said. " Vance, I have a problem." He looked her up and down. She looked normal to him. Then the letters VD blinked in his mind. She continued. " Vance, It's really me, I used to be Phil." He looked at her. He was stunned. He had just had sex with Phil. " What happened? Didn't get enough of being a girl yesterday?" " Oh yes, I didn't wish to become a girl... well I did, but I didn't mean to." He just stared at her sexy flesh, mostly at her big nipples. " You know how all the guys hate us and treat us like shit?" He nodded. " Well, I was sitting on my bed this morning with the coin and though: I wish I were popular with the guys. I got up and started getting dressed in those red panties and matching bra. It's a 36D by the way. When they fit I realized that I had turned into a girl. It didn't take me long to figure out why I would be so popular with the guys. When I'm near a guy that looks at me with lust, I can't resist the urge to act like a slut and let him bed me... I didn't even know this place existed until Benny Williams brought me here instead of going to first period. This is the third time I've been screwed today and it probably won't be the last if you don't help me." " Patty," he couldn't call her Phil, " I don't have the coin with me. It's at home. Speaking of home I got to get there and find a costume for tonight's dance. I tell you what, I'll bring it tonight and wish you back to normal after the dance." " I'll probably get fucked a dozen times by then." She said sadly. " I'm sorry. It's the best I can do. What did your mother say when you went down stairs like that?" " Good morning sweetie. Don't forget to take you pill. Have a nice day." " Take your pill?" Vance asked. " Yeah, my birth control pill. Apparently, I had been taking them already." " Hmm, I see. I'm really sorry. I gotta go. I'll see you tonight." " Well if I'm not at the dance, look for me in here." She added. " My new home away from home." With that Vance left. When he finally got home it was five O'clock. " Two hours. Damn! I'll never find a costume in two hours." " What?" He heard a female voice. It was his sister Vicki. She was a couple years older than him. She was in college now. Frantically, he said. " I have to go to the holloween dance tonight and I only have two hours to find a costume. I have to be there 'cause I'm on the dance committee and now I have to help a friend. So I really need to go, but I can't get in unless I'm in costume and I still don't have one. I'm desperate." " Hmmm, Do you know what anyone else is going as? It might help us come up with something." She inquired. " Well Dan is going to wear his dad's football uniform." " I really can't think of anything... Wait!!! I have an idea." She ran to her bedroom and came back with something on a hanger. " You came wear my cheerleader uniform and be a cheerleader. Only You'd have to go all the way. I mean shave your legs and underarms, and wear the sports bra and sports panty under it and everything." He looked at it forlorn. He really didn't want to go to the dance as a girl. Of course, he did have some experience as a girl and it wasn't that bad. But then he really was a girl and know one from school saw him and everyone thought he was a girl. The clock was ticking. " That's all I have. Take it or leave it." Vicki prodded. Reluctantly he said. " I guess I'll take it. What choice do I have?" " None." She said, dragging him upstairs. She sent him into the bathroom and told him to shower, after he had sat with some smelly pink lotion on his legs, stomach and chest. She also told him to use her shampoo and conditioner. When the water hit his legs, stomach, and chest, all the hair came off. He picked up a razor and shaved his armpits like he'd been instructed. Then he used her body wash and then shampooed and conditioned his hair. When he got out of the shower, His sister held a pair of panties through the door. He took them and stepped into them and tucked his penis between his legs like she said. He didn't have time to ponder what he was doing, he just did it. Then she took him to her room and blow dried his hair and applied nail polish that matched the uniform. Next she had him powder his body. Now his skin was starting to look and smell very feminine. Then she styled his hair and to his dismay she cut bangs. Then she pulled it back into pony tails. It hung passed his shoulders so length wasn't a problem. Next she curled the pony tails so they became pig tails. She helped him with the bra and helped him pad it out with pantyhose. Then she had him put pantyhose on his legs. Then came the sports panty. Then the skirt followed by the sweater. She gave him ankle socks and saddle shoes. Luckily their feet were about the same size. She then sat him down and applied make up to his face. When she was done, he looked in the mirror and was amazed at the teenage girl that looked back at him. He couldn't believe that he looked so much like a girl. He could see now that he looked a lot like Vicki. He really did look like her younger sister. While he was looking in the mirror, Vicki tied ribbons in his pig tails that matched the uniform. She told him she wanted to teach him a couple cheers in case anyone wanted to see him cheer. He tried to assure her that he wouldn't cheer even if asked. Finally, it was easier to just shut up and humor her. She handed him pom- poms poms and they started. It wasn't long before the door bell rang. Vicki said. " I have to go the bathroom anyway," and ducked into the bathroom. Leaving Vance to get the door. He opened the door and looked at Dan in his football jersey. It took Dan a minute to recognize the cheerleader. He laughed and said. " Still want to be a girl?" " No! It was the only thing I could find on such short notice." " But your legs are shaved and you're wearing make up." " I know. I think Vicki did it just to see how desperate I was." " I'd guess, pretty desperate." Dan Chuckled. Vance lowered his voice. " There is a problem, Patty screwed up her wish and got screwed herself." " Huh?" " She used to be Phil." " Oh." Dan said and rolled his eyes. " She seduced me before she could tell me that she used to be Phil. I have to wish her back to normal. Wait a minute, I have to go get my coin." " You had sex with Phil?" " Well... She looked so hot! Besides, I didn't know she was really Phil until afterwards." Vance smiled a little. The make up gave his face a cheery look as he did. " Okay." Dan said. Then he watched Vance's butt peeking out from under his skirt, and his soft smooth legs. Vance went into his room and grabbed the coin off his dresser. He looked for a pocket. He couldn't find one so he stuck in a fold of the waist band of his skirt that was like a pocket. The top the coin stuck out and was touching his smooth belly. He walked back down the stairs. He didn't notice that Dan was having trouble keeping his eyes off of Vance's legs and slightly bouncing chest. At one point his skirt flipped up and afforded Dan a look at his crotch. When got back to were Dan was standing Dan said. " Man! Your crotch even looks like a girls' crotch." " I know. Vicki told me to tuck myself between my legs. I think that the only thing that isn't a girls' on me is my voice." " And that isn't really all that deep. I tell you! If I didn't know better, I'd swear that you were a girl." Dan grinned. " all right, Aright. If you keep it up Patty won't be the only one needing a wish to a man again." As they walked out the door Dan put his hand on Vance's ass. Vance elbowed him in the ribs. They walked to school since Vicki needed the car and Dan didn't have use of one. The walk proved uneventful, if not somewhat embarrassing for Vance. It did, however, provide him with time to get used to his guise. When they got to the dance, everyone acted as though Vance was Dan's date. Vance turned to Dan and said. " Now we have to find Patty and let her know that we're here." Dan nodded. They looked for a few minutes with out anyone noticing them. Then Brent Thomas noticed Vance in a big way. He thought that "she" was the most beautiful "girl" he had ever seen. He approached "her" and asked her to dance. She politely declined. He persisted. Again, "she" declined, being a little less polite. Still he persisted. This time "she" rather rudely told him to "fuck off!" He told "her" that he wasn't going to take no for an answer. Dan came over to help, but left quickly when Brent threatened him. Poor Vance was on "her" own. Finally, "she" accepted and Brent lead "her" to the dance floor. Vance looked at Dan as if to say. " Find Patty." He nodded and took off. As the dance ended. Another football player cut in. As the night wore on. Vance danced with almost the entire football team. While Dan searched for the elusive Patty. Eventually, he in search of this " secret" club house in the woods. As he approached a dark structure in the woods near the school, he could hear faint grunts and moans. He peeked through a slit in the wall and saw a buxom blonde bouncing up and down on a guy he couldn't see. As he looked, he thought that she was incredibly sexy and pretty. Then he heard footsteps and voices. They said. " I'm tellin' ya man. She's is one hot bitch! As soon as one guy's done, she's lookin' for another. I never knew Patty was like that. She always seemed so prude." Dan didn't wait around to hear the rest. He recognized the voice as belonging to one Brad Philabaum, the biggest lineman on the team. He knew that if they caught him there, he was dead meat for sure. He quickly went back to the dance. Just as Dan walked back in the gym around 11 O'clock, all hell broke loose. Brent was talking to Vance and said. " We just figured something out. Your uniform has Vicki printed on it. I got to thinking, Vicki was a cheerleader two years ago before she graduated. After talking with the guys about it, you can only be one person. You're Vance!" Vance's face went flush. It could be seen traveling down his legs. Timidly he answered. " Yes, I'm Vance." knowing that he would be the laughing stock of the school now. " You little fairy! We'll teach you to trick us like that. You Faggot! Let's get the girly-boy, guys!" There was no time for explaining that he'd tried to stop them from dancing with him. He just turned and ran out of the school with his skirt flapping as he ran. Vance passed Dan at the door and Dan fell in behind his feminine friend. They did have a little luck with them. A lot of the football players were either waiting their turn with Patty, or were wearing cumbersome costumes making it difficult to run. In a stroke of intelligence, Vance ran in the direction that wouldn't take them past the woods were the other player's were waiting. It didn't take long for the bigger and faster football players to close the gap and eventually catch them. Dan got between the players and Vance hoping to ward them off. One shouted. " Get out of the way nerd! This is between us and the fairy!" Dan was scared, but he couldn't just let them beat Vance up. He stood his ground and consequently took a beating along with Vance. The players finally slowed in their blows enough for Vance to slip away. This gave Dan a chance to follow suit. They ran in different directions, but eventually met up and ran together. Their meeting back up disoriented the football players enough to give them a good lead. They used it to their advantage and found a place to hide. After searching for their prey for a little while, they gave up yelling that they would just wait until Monday. Dan and Vance looked at each other for a few minutes and waited to make sure that they were really gone. Dan poked his head out and looked around. " The coast is clear." He said to Vance. They climbed out of the dumpster and looked around again. They leaned against the dumpster for a few minutes to catch their breath and survey their wounds. Luckily, it was a dumpster for recycling corrugated cardboard, so they didn't get dirty. Dan finally took the coin out of his sock, held it tight, and said. " I wish I really were a muscular football player. Then I could have defended you." He gestured towards Vance. Vance, not realizing that Dan was wishing on the coin, said. " Yeah, I wish I really were a cheerleader. Then the fight never would've started in the first place." Dan looked at Vance with a look of horror. " You just wished to be a girl?" " No! I'm not holding the wish coin." " Oh, I was." Dan said. " You were?" Now Vance wore a look of horror. " Now you'll be too caught up with them and you won't have time for me." " Sure I will. And, now I'll be able to defend you." " Hey! We gotta get going and find Patty. Its almost midnight." Vance said. Dan became confused and asked. " What does midnight have to do with anything?" " Midnight marks the end of holloween and makes these coins useless." " Oh, Then I guess we'd better get going. C'mon, back to the school." Dan replied. " Not like this, I'm not. I'm going to go home and change." " I guess I'd better do that too." Dan said following Vance out of the alley. Dan walked Vance home and dropped him off. As they walked, Vance noticed that Dan looked a lot taller than him. He thought that it must be the football uniform and shoes. Vance told Dan at his door that he'd meet him at his house in half an hour and went inside. Vance's parents, along with Vicki, were watching one of the repetitive psycho movies that are so popular at holloween. As Vance can in the door his mother said. " Did you have a nice time at the dance, dear?" " It was fine, mom. Hemmm." He tried clearing his throat. His voice sounded strange to him. He quickly dashed upstairs. He ran into his room and quickly began to undress. ' I'll be glad when I get these stupid girls' clothes off.' He thought, pulling the skirt down. As he did, the coin fell on the floor. Seeing it caused him to remember that time was of the essence. He glanced at the clock, it read 11: 37 p.m.. In his peripheral vision, noticed that something was amiss, but couldn't identify it. He didn't have time for that stuff anyway. He pulled the sports panties off and let them fall to the floor. He pulled the sweater over his head and down his arms. He reached down to pull the pantyhose off and noticed creamy flesh peeking out of the bra. I tried to dismiss it as his pectoral muscles pushed up by the pantyhose in the bra cups, but he just couldn't float it passed his sub-conscious mind. He paused and looked at them. He looked at his hands and arms. They looked so soft and slender. Now trembling, he reached behind his back and unhooked the bra and let it fall to the floor. He couldn't believe his eyes as he examined his breasts. They were firm and taunt the nipples were quite large taking up the whole front of the breast, he guessed them to be about two inches in diameter. Perky, was a good word to use to describe his breasts. He walked to the mirror in the pantyhose and panties. He already knew what he would see. He just wanted to see how much he'd changed. He was very pretty. Along with having perky breasts, he also had nicely defined hips. He turned sideways and looked at his ass. It was cute. Not too big, but not flat either. Overall he had a well shaped female body and his face was quite pretty as well. He took off the pantyhose and the panties together in one fluid motion and tugged them off his feet. He examined his new sex. Pouty lips poked out from the vertical slit between his legs and was topped off with a triangle of auburn pubic hair. Looking in the mirror, he saw that it matched the hair on his head. He hadn't noticed before, but his once brown hair was now a soft auburn and it looked longer that before. He wasn't sure since it was still in pigtails. He looked at his hands and their long nails. The false ones Vicki put on him. He tried to pull one off and felt like he was pulling his own nail out. He figured that was because it probably was his real nail now. He felt his new breasts, it felt strange to feel these new appendages. It was then, he looked around his room. It was now pastel pink. the curtains were white and shear. His bed was now a canopy bed with a pink comforter and canopy. The bed frame was white with gold trim and there was a matching vanity and two matching dressers. His poster of Heather Locklear in a bikini was now a poster of Brad Pitt in tight swim trunks. He noticed the bulge in the crotch and felt a twitch in his female crotch. He looked at the cheerleading uniform and the name on the sweater was no longer Vicki, but Vanessa. That meant his wish came true. 'But How?' He thought. Then he realized that the coin must've been touching him somehow. He decided to tell Vicki. " Vicki? Could you come here?" He called, now knowing why it sounded to high pitched. He heard her ascend the stairs and call. " What?" When she got to his bedroom door she just came in without knocking. This was not a common practice in their home. " What?!" She said upon entering. " Vicki? Do I look any different to you?" Vicki looked at the younger girl and said. " No." " Vicki, I was a boy before I went to the dance." " You mean when you dressed up like a football player for the dance?" Vance was confused. " Football player?" " Yeah, I helped you pad it out and hide your boobs." He looked at the uniform on the floor and suddenly it was a football uniform. The back read Kerns. That meant it was Dan's uniform. " If I was a football player, who was the cheerleader?" " Dan! He wore your uniform, although I don't know how he squeezed into it. Honestly Vanessa. I swear, you've been playing these silly games since we were little girls." Vicki said, walking away shaking her head. Vance now Vanessa stood there stunned. He was now a she and a cheerleader. She decided to get dressed. She went to the top drawer and found it full of silky panties, bras and pantyhose, instead of the men's briefs she'd been used to. Reluctantly, she took out a pair of lavender panties and a matching bra. She would've preferred something less feminine, but these were the least feminine in the drawer. She looked at the tags. The panties were a size 3 and the bra was a 34B. She looked at the tiny panties and was amazed at how small she was now. As Vance he'd been small and weedy for a guy, but now he was even smaller. She put them on and looked at them in the mirror and decided she liked the way they fit. She would've liked them better if they were on one of the girls from school, but she figured that she might as well get used to it. She then opened the next drawer and took out a pair of Chic jeans the tag read 5/6. They had little bows on the backs of the cuffs. Then she took a lavender top out of the next drawer, it was a size small, with pleats in the cleavage to accent her breasts, and pulled it over her head. She opened the closet to get shoes and discovered an arsenal of feminine finery in the form of skirts, blouses and dresses. On the floor she found a store house of shoes. Heels, flats, and sneakers. In blacks, pinks, reds, purples, and yellows. She thought it looked like a rainbow on the floor of her closet. She chose a pair of white sneakers with pink stripes. * * * SRU/ A Tale of Three 2/3 by Jennifer Adams She opened another dresser drawer and pulled out lace ankle sock. Then she sat on the bed and put them on followed by the sneakers. She sat at the vanity and looked in the mirror. Now her hair was on top of her head in a bun. ' Probably to hide under the helmet.' She thought. She undid the bun and let her hair fall and it fell almost to her shoulder blades. She combed it out and fluffed her bangs. Next she applied make up to her now naked face. She added couple pair of earrings to her pierced ears and a couple rings on her fingers. She thought it was kind of neat that when she didn't think about what she was doing, she acted like a normal girl. She looked herself over one last time in the mirror before she left. Satisfied, she turned and left her room. She bounced down the steps and headed for the door. " Where are you going dressed like that?" Her father said. Nervous about telling her dad what had happened, she timidly replied. " Dan's." ' Did he remember her as being Vance?' She wondered. ' How am I going to explain that his son is now his daughter?' " Well you look like your dressed for a night out, young lady." He stated. " No, Daddy. Dan and I are just going to find a friend and talk to her." She said defensively. ' Daddy?' She thought. ' Hmmm.' " You're not going to hang around with that Patty are you? She acts like a slut! I know that you're 18 and can do what you want but I don't want her to influence you, honey. You're a good girl and I'd like you to stay that way. That's why I like Dan, he respects you, dear." He had a worried look one his face. " I know Daddy. I'm just trying to help her to not be like that." " Be careful then. That's what I love about you, honey. You are a good person. I'll stand on the porch and watch to make sure you get to Dan's safely." He smiled. " It's just down the street. Dad." " A lot can happen to a pretty girl like you between here and there. Now give me a kiss, sweetie." He opened his arms. Vance looked at his father for a moment. He hadn't kissed his old man since he was a kid. He didn't know what to do with that. He just let his body take over and felt herself give her 'Daddy' a kiss and hug. He said. " I love you, princess." She heard herself say. " I love you too, Daddy." She went out the door and her father followed and watched her walk down the sidewalk until she got to Dan's. When she got on the porch, her father called good night to her and warned her not to be out too late. She knocked on the door and Dan's mother answered. " Hi Vanessa. Let me call Dan. Come in." She went to the stairs and called up to Dan. " You have a visitor, Dan." From upstairs they heard a deep masculine voice. " Okay Mom. I'll be right down." Vance started getting nervous as he heard Dan's footsteps on the stairs. Watching fearfully as he descended, she noticed immediately that he was different. He was much more muscular and even a little taller. He walked with an air of confidence. " Hi Vanessa. I thought it was you. Here is your uniform." He handed her a paper sack. She took and thought. ' Damn, even him?' She said. " Hi Dan." She felt a little giddy like when they were girls in the mall and the boys noticed them. They stepped outside on the porch and Dan said. " Your wish came true too?" She looked at him. He remembered. " You know who I really am?" He looked her up and down for a moment and said. " I know who you were and who you are now. I know that you use to be Vance, but as I folded your uniform I knew that you were no longer Vance. I remember everything that happened tonight except being dressed like a cheerleader. Your uniform appeared after I took my costume off and try as I might, I just can't remember wearing it." " I can explain that. When I asked Vicki if she remembered that I was a guy before going to the dance. She remembers helping me dress in your uniform and padding it out to make her little sister look like a guy. That's when the cheerleader uniform I had worn, became your football uniform along with Kerns on the jersey. Just before I called her, though, the name on the sweater changed from Vicki to Vanessa." " Weird! Are you sure it wasn't my Dad's jersey?" " It has a different number than the one you wore to the dance. It has number 51 on it." She said. " That's mine all right. I picked it because that's your height 5'1". " He beamed. " My height? Where did that come from?" " I don't know. It just sort of popped in my head." He replied. " Well we'd better find Patty and tell her what happened." She said, marveling at how much taller he was than her. ' Over a foot.' She thought. ' Now where did that come from.' But it was true. Dan was now six foot three inches, making him one foot and two inches taller. " Don't worry too much if we can't find her. It's too late to help her even if we could each get another wish and she'll know that we both used our wish coins. The same way we knew." He said as they started walking. He reached out and took her hand. She gently pulled it away. She said, " Dan, I know that since I became a girl, everyone seems to think that I am your girlfriend. I can't be your girlfriend. I like you and all, but I am really a guy and I don't know how just yet, but I'm going to find a way to change back into a guy as soon as I can." Dan looked down at her and said. " I know Vanessa. I don't know why I took your hand. I'm sorry." " I just wanted to clear that up. I don't blame you for taking my hand. After all, I am a girl for the moment. And as much as I hate to admit it, a rather pretty girl. I know how good I look. I am still a guy under all this frill and lace. Hell, I was turning myself on looking in the mirror." She stated. " Wow, really? It's ok I can understand." They walked the rest of the way to Patty's house in silence, both thinking of what the changes might mean as time went on. Just as they got too Patty's house, a '69 Charger pulled up and Patty climbed out of the middle of the back seat. As she did, Vanessa and Dan could see two sets of male hands graze across the expanse of her new ass. She giggled and patted the hands and called. " Enough boys. I have to get in the house." With that the door closed. Vanessa and Dan Both knew that the car belonged to Benny Williams. Brent turned and waved as at Vanessa as the car pulled away. " Hi Vanessa and Dan. You look good Dan. I see you decided to join me Vanessa." Patty gushed. " I wish you'd have helped me out of this, though. I've seen enough penises to last a lifetime. Although, I would like to see one between my legs the way it was, and not the business end. I never thought being a popular girl could be so exhausting." " Well I assure you mine was quite by accident." Vanessa said. " Mine wasn't!" Dan beamed. Patty looked at Dan like a cool drink of water on a hot day. " It's a good thing that you belong to Vanessa. Otherwise..." She just trailed off. Vanessa's expression took on a pained look. " He's not my boyfriend!" " Oh?" Patty perked up. " I seem to be able to respect another girls boyfriend, but if he's not you boyfriend then maybe we could get together, hmm Dan?" Somewhere in the back of Vanessa's mind, she felt a pang of jealousy. She did tell him that she wasn't his girlfriend. " I don't care." She managed. " You might care more than you think." Patty added. Vanessa blushed a little while Dan looked pleasantly surprised. She continued. " Don't let Brent know. He thinks you and Dan are dating. He has the hots for you Vanessa. He couldn't stop talking about how much fun he had dancing with you. Even in Dan's football uniform." " You remember my dressed as a football player? I was really dressed as a cheerleader." Vanessa asked. " I wouldn't know what you wore. I went to the dance, but I never made it into the building." She said apprehensively. Dan said. " I can attest to that. I looked through a crack and saw her bouncing up and down on some guy. By the way, nice tits." " Thanks." Patty blushed. Vanessa felt that little pang again. Patty continued. " Well, all we can do now is go see the wizard at Spells-r-Us and see if there is anything he can do to help." Vanessa said. " I doubt that will do much good. He said that we would be stuck with what ever we wished until next holloween." " It's worth a try isn't it? The worst that can happen is he'll say there's nothing he can do. We're already stuck as girls now, right?" Patty pointed out. " Yeah, I guess you're right. It's worth a shot." Finally Patty said. " Well if we're going to get up to go to the mall before it closes, we'd better get to bed." They all said good night and Dan walked Vanessa home. She tried to tell him that she could make it three doors down without him, but he wouldn't hear of it. As they walked along Vanessa said. " Dan?" " Hmm?" " I need you to do me a really big favor. Until we can get this girl stuff figured out, which might not be for a year, could you pretend to be my boyfriend? I don't want every guy at Aggie trying to get into my panties." She said. " Just me?" He chided. " No! Not even you." A look of horror crossed her pretty face. " I was kidding. Lighten up." He was still chuckling. " I'm sorry. This is so strange to me. It's just like when we turned into little girls yesterday. I act like a high school girl would normally act and sometimes think like a normal girl. It's hard for me to be light hearted about this. The thought of being trapped in this female body for a whole year scares me a little." " I can imagine. I'm sorry, it was just such a perfect opportunity for a joke. I've been your best friend of as long as we both can remember, I don't think there is much I wouldn't do for you. I would be happy to be you pretend boyfriend." He said, thoughtfully. Vanessa thought it was because of his insensitive joke, but he was thinking that if he pretended to be her boyfriend it might become more of a reality if she stayed a girl long enough. At the her door, Vanessa thanked him for being so understanding and gave him a peck on the cheek and said good night. He bade her goodnight and watched her go into the house, then he went home himself. For some reason seeing first Vanessa and then Patty, and knowing that they used to be guys caused him a bigger problem than it used to. Now his equipment was larger than it used to be. He needed to get home and solve that problem. He reached down with his hand and adjusted the straining bulge in the front of his jeans as he walked home. Vanessa closed her bedroom door behind her and leaned back against it and sighed. ' What a night!' She thought. She walked over to her dirty clothes hamper and began to get undressed. The hamper was a new addition to her room. Vance used to just throw his dirty clothes in the corner, or where ever they landed in between. As a girl, she was much neater. When she got down to her underwear, she looked in the full length mirror, another new addition that she hadn't paid attention to when she looked in it earlier. She looked at the teen-queen in the mirror and thought that she should be grateful for one thing anyway. At least she hadn't turned herself into a slut like Patty had. ' Poor girl.' She thought about what Patty must be going through having a craving for cock. She was glad that she didn't have overt cravings for male attention. She took off her bra and panties and examined her naked body with a little more scrutiny. There was no doubt that she was pretty. Her body was streamlined and athletic. That was to be expected being a cheerleader. Not that all cheerleaders had to be, but it fit here. She was also glad that she didn't have the melons Patty had on her chest. These small, pert mounds were cute and definitely noticeable, but they couldn't be as heavy to carry around on her chest as Patty's colossal orbs. Her's looked like cantaloupes. She began to caress them as she looked at them. It felt good. She gently ran her finger around each nipple. The closest similarity she could compare it to was it felt like when she'd gently rubbed her cock, when she had one, as Vance. The feeling spread through her small breasts and into her chest. It felt like warm syrup running down her chest and through her abdomen. It then flowed into her crotch and seemed to intensify. Now it felt hot. She felt a swollen feeling begin between her legs as though she straddling a banister and squeezing her legs around it. Then her leg reflexively squeezed together and moved slightly back and forth. The swollen feeling got stronger until she felt pressure inside her lower abdomen. She reached down and slid her finger between the folds of her cunt lips. As she did, she feel an intense tickling feeling that nearly caused her to collapse right where she stood. She figured, with that, she needed to lay down, so she walked to the bed. Walking caused her thighs to rub together and increased her need. She laid on her bed and, with her eyes closed, began to massage her right nipple with her left hand while she used her right hand to explore her pussy. She was in heaven, she never thought it would feel this good for girls. She opened her eyes for a moment and saw the poster of Brad Pitt on the wall. She closed them again and began to fantasize that he was here with her and her arousal grew. Stunned, she stopped thinking of Brad Pitt and tried to fantasize that she was Vance and was exploring Heater Locklear's body. She found that her body was loosing interest. She went back to Brad Pitt, then quickly shifted to Dan. She pretended that he was petting with her and getting ready to make love to her. Then he slowly moved between her legs and entered her. He began to make slow sensuous love to her. Telling her that he loved her and that her chose her over countless other women. Finally, as he climaxed, so did she. She laid on her bed panting. If only Dan could see her like this, he would have a real big problem. He was busy at home Fantasizing that he was making love to a certain pretty cheerleader who hadn't been a cheerleader several hours ago. Elsewhere a beautiful blonde with big tits was fingering a well used pussy and thinking how nice it would be to have Dan between her legs. She too, soon shuddered in climax and laid panting. A sleeping figure was rudely yanked from it's quiet sleep. A hand swung over and hit the snooze button. A few minutes later it cried out again. The sleeper glanced at the numbers on the clock. They read 10:00 AM. Vance rolled to get out of bed and was quickly reminded of his wish from the night before by a lock of auburn hair that fell across HER face. She groaned slightly, remembering why she had to get up this early on a Saturday after being up so late on a Friday night. She and her friends had to go to Spells-R-Us. She went into the adjoining bathroom and did her business as any normal girl would, without thinking about it and then took a shower. She discovered many new things in there as well. Now instead of a soap bar, she had body wash lotion. Her normal shampoo had been replaced with an herbal one to add emollients and a conditioner for dry hair. Shave gel and a feminine razor, which she used on her legs and under arms. After her shower, her found her body following a new routine. After combing out her hair, she used a blow drier to dry it. Then she dusted herself with a floral scented talc. She felt her hips sway as she walked naked, back into her bedroom. She put on fresh panties and a bra. Then she took out a pair of pantyhose and expertly put them on. Instead of going to her dresser, she went to the closet and chose a pink blouse and a denim skirt. She couldn't put a finger on it, but she felt like dressing femmy today. Lastly, she put on a pair of black loafers. She sat at her vanity and applied make up. It was light since she had good skin and pretty features. Then she went back into the bathroom. The steam had cleared leaving her a clear view of the mirror. She took a curling iron and curled her hair around her face. A couple squirts of hair sprits and she was ready. She checked everything in the full length mirror, decided that she didn't like the earrings so she changed them. A pair of dangling hearts in the lower holes and matching studs in the upper holes. A quick look in the mirror again. Satisfied, she picked up a purse that matched her shoes and walked out the door and headed downstairs. She went into the kitchen and sat at the table. Her mother was just finishing breakfast. " Mom?" She asked. " Tell me about when I was born." Her mother got a far away look in her eyes and said. " Oh I remember I had 20 hours of hard labor. It was real tough. I remember you father standing by my bed and holding my hand through it. Then they finally came and wheeled me down to delivery. They didn't allow fathers in the delivery room back then. I remember the hurt look on your father's face as I went through the delivery room door..." " No mom, I mean about me." She was a little agitated. " About you? Well, you were the most beautiful baby girl I had ever seen. Your sister was so happy to have a little sister and you father... well... he really wanted a boy, but he was so happy with you. He even used to feed you." ' This is too weird!' She thought. ' All the way back to my birth I've been thought of as a girl.' She said. " Thanks mom." She ate her breakfast quickly and went out to the car. Vicki called out the window to her. " Hey Vanessa! Be back by noon. I need the car today." " I will Vicki." She said and got in. She noticed that it wasn't how she used to get into the car. She used to get in with one leg at a time. Now she sat in the seat and swung her legs in, just like she's seen Vicki do a million times. She drove to Dan's and honked the horn. When Dan came out, she scooted over and let him get in the driver's seat. She sat in the middle but a little to the right. Dan put his arm on the back of the seat so his hand rested against her right shoulder. Dan drove to Patty's house and she came out right away, wearing a tan dress and tan sling back pumps. Instead of getting in the back seat, she sat in front, pushing Vanessa against Dan. She felt a thrill run up her spine as her thigh touched his. Dan drove them to the mall and they all got out. For some strange reason it made more sense to Vanessa to get out on Dan's side than to get out behind Patty. Seeing this Patty and Dan shot each other a knowing look. Vanessa didn't notice. They walked into the mall while walking to Spells-R-Us, several boys said hi to Patty and as an after thought said hi to Vanessa and some asked Dan if he would be a practice this afternoon. Walked over by Sears. At first they didn't see it, then it magically appeared before their eyes. They walked in and the bell tinkled. The wizard was behind the counter. " Good morning Dan, Ladies. Everything turned out fine I trust?" Vanessa wanted to talk, but was compelled to allow Dan to talk first. He said. " Well, I don't think I would say that exactly." " Hmmm, I see." replied the wizard. " I take it then, ladies, you are not entirely happy with your wishes?" The smile turned into a look of genuine concern. Almost together they said. " No." Patty amended. " This isn't what I had in mind when I said I wanted to be popular with the guys." " Hmm." The wizard said again rubbing his white beard. " I suppose not. Vanessa?" " I didn't know I was touching the coin when I wished to be a real cheerleader." She answered. Patty said. " I remember what you said, but we were wondering if there was anything you can do to help us?" The wizard thought a minute shaking his head, he said. " No, I'm afraid there isn't much that I can do. I can not override the magic of the coins. About the only thing I can do is to make you forget that you were boys. However, if I do that, you won't remember next holloween so that you can reverse your wishes." Both girls declined that solution. Dan was a little upset that Vanessa didn't choose to forget her maleness, because that would mean that she might be his girlfriend, but he didn't let it show. " Well, the only thing I can tell you is make do the best you can. Sorry. If you need to talk or advice or anything at all, feel free to come back and talk to me." The wizard said and added. " Have a nice day ladies." They both wished him a good day and started to leave. Vanessa turned and said. " Dan? Are you coming?" " Uh, in a minute. I wanted to ask the wizard about something personal." He replied. The wizard said. " Shh, not too loud. I don't want everyone to know that I'm a wizard." " Sorry." They all said again almost in unison. The girls left and Dan said. " I was wondering if you might have something that I could use to get Vanessa to be my girlfriend?" " All good things come to those who wait." Dan just looked at him uncomprehendingly. He added. " All in good time you won't need anything for her to become your girlfriend. As long as you play your cards right." " Really?" " If you time it right, I guarantee it." The old man said. Dan looked out the shop window into the mall. Vanessa and Patty were looking at jewelry and chatting like any other pair of high school girls in the mall. Dan's gaze rested on Patty for a moment. He heard a voice behind him. " That one? Sooner than you think. Have a nice day." With that the shop disappeared and Dan found himself standing in the corridor. Vanessa called home and asked Vicki to if she could pick up the car at the mall since she and Patty decided to stay and do some shopping. Vicki agreed. When she got back to the table in the food court, Dan and Patty were talking and Vanessa could tell that they were passing chemistry between them. She said. " Go ahead, if that's what you want to do. Just don't let anyone find out. I don't want guys trying to ask me out." They both looked at her stunned. They hadn't meant for her to see what was passing between them. In fact, they were pretending that nothing was passing between them. Finally, Patty said. " So? Now he is your boyfriend?" " Only for pretend, Right?" Vanessa gestured to Dan and he nodded. " But if you tell anyone that it's not for real..." She didn't finish it. Patty looked as if to say, " who me?" With that Dan excused himself and left for practice. He pecked Vanessa on the cheek. She started to pull away and remembered that it had to look good and pecked him back. He left for football practice. Vicki soon came to pick up the car and the girls went around the mall and did some shopping. They found that it made them feel good to go around to different shops and try on all kinds of different clothes. Around two o'clock, they ran into a couple of cheerleaders from school, Nikki and Sandra. They greeted Vanessa and Patty cheerily. They passed a slight look of dismay to each other at Vanessa being out with Patty. The new girls both caught it, but Nikki and Sandra quickly passed over the moment and treated Patty like any other girl from school. The cheerleaders had an unwritten motto: A friend of one cheerleader was a friend of all cheerleaders. This didn't mean that they had to like the person, but that they were friendly to them. They all hung out for a little bit until Patty said that she had to go. They all said good-bye and Patty left. Vanessa, Sandra and Nikki soon left the mall as well. After stopping at Vanessa's and Sandra's houses, they went to Nikki's house and worked a little on their cheers. To Vanessa's surpass, she was able to do the routines as though she'd done them since starting high school, which is what everyone believed. Afterwards, they talked about boys and school and boys and then they talked about some of the girls, including Patty's sudden looseness and of course boys and boyfriends. Vanessa had a little trouble joining in at first, but soon relaxed and became an active member of the conversation. Until now, she had been afraid about going to school on Monday, but being with the girls eased her mind. Nikki took her and Sandra home around five so they could get ready. It was Saturday, the second date-night of the week. At home Vanessa took another shower and a freshly dusted her body with talc. She dressed in a velour blouse and a jean jumper. Dan showed up around seven, as though they already had plans. They went to a fast-food place that was the local hang out. Vance and Dan would've never went there on Saturday before, but now they were Dan the fullback and Vanessa the cheerleader. Everyone said hi to them even Patty who was out with Brent. After that Dan took her to a movie and then took her home. As they said goodnight at the door, he started to kiss her on the cheek and she turned her head so his mouth met her's. They kissed, a peck on the lips. Dan thought. ' Well, I'm getting closer.' Laying in bed that night, she thought about the events of the day and realized that she might actually enjoy being a girl for a year. It was kind of fun just hangin' with the girls and she really had a good time with Dan. It made her giddy to kiss him on the lips instead of the cheek. She ended up spending almost all day Sunday with all the cheerleaders. She did talk to Dan on the phone. Monday, after a little while, she fit right in. The ever resilient soldier Time, continued marching on. Days turned into weeks and soon Vanessa found herself, a long with her parents and her sister, on their way to her grandparent's house for the annual Thanksgiving Dinner affair. She was wearing a maroon dress that fell to mid-thigh and tan high-heeled sandals. She was beginning to get used to being out in dresses, it was even starting to feel natural. She was still a little amazed at dinner when everyone in her family started talking about memories and all of them talked about her as always being a girl, even after all this time, she still found it hard to believe that everyone remembered her always being a girl. Before they left she had to draw out of a hat. She drew a scrap of paper with her cousin's name on it. This meant that she had to buy him a gift for the Christmas gift exchange. That meant that she would have to find a job for the holidays. She thought about growing up with her cousin Bill. He was a couple years older and she recalled following him on some crazy adventures while they both stayed with their grandmother. She would only allow the boys or the girls to stay at her house at the same time. A little tear rolled down her cheek as she realized that since everyone remembered her being a girl, Bill wouldn't remember doing stuff with his cousin Vance, because Vanessa would never have stayed with Bill. She wouldn't have been allowed. After Thanksgiving weekend. Vanessa began looking for a part time job. Since the college would be breaking for Christmas soon, their applications were being considered for employment first. She really needed to get a job, but finding one was difficult. Finally, she went to see the wizard at Spells-R-Us, maybe he would give her a part time job. When she talked to him, he said that he could only hire those in the magical arts union. He suggested that she try the new women's boutique around the corridor. She had never thought of women's shops. She forgot that now since she was a woman, she would be more likely to get hired since men wouldn't want to work there. She would only have to compete against female applicants, this would increase her odds. She didn't know if she really wanted to deal with women's clothes all day, but she already did that, and it was only for the holidays. She applied and was granted an interview immediately. She was excited as she drove home. She now had a job selling women's accessories and she now got a massive discount. Christmas came and went. She bought Bill a wonderful watch and got Dan an engraved pen. She got Patty a purse with matching shoes. She didn't see too much of Patty anymore. They just sort of moved in different circles now. She was finally allowing Dan to french kiss her and even do some light petting. She found out that Dan and Patty had a intimate interlude, which didn't surprise her. She knew that it was Patty's unwanted goal to do the entire football team. She guessed that everyone had to have something to reach for and that was Patty's whether she wanted it or not. They had agreed that neither one blamed the old man, they knew that it was their own fault. Although, she was still a little uneasy about being a girl, it was beginning to wear off. Still she was glad that she was now down to only ten more months of being a female. On a brighter note, she was asked to stay on at the boutique. She decided that she really liked it there so she accepted. She was asked to baby-sit on New Year's Eve, by her neighbor down the street. She would be sitting twin girls. Nine year olds. It ended up not being as bad as she had thought it would be. At on point she told Brandy that it wasn't that long ago that she was a little girl. She thought, ' a nine year old at that!' Winter slowly moved into spring. It was May now and Vanessa was looking forward to graduating. Since Vance's mind was still intact, Vanessa continued to get good grades and was asked to be valedictorian. She did find a couple of surprises when she went to school the Monday after her sexchange. She was not enrolled in several secretarial and home ec. courses. She was now allowing Dan a little more access to her body since she only had five more months in it. She still had her virginity, because she was still a little unsure of allowing a man to have sex with her. The only other thing she was wrestling with weather or not to go a long with the other cheerleaders and only wear her underwear under her robe. After all, she was going to have to give a speech in front of the class and their parents like that. What if they could see under her robe? When graduation finally came, it found Vanessa and the other cheerleaders wearing only a bra, panties, garterbelt, and nylons under their robes. Vanessa gave a speech on over coming adversities and new experiences, looking hopefully to the future and remembering past mistakes. Patty and Dan were the only ones who understood her full meaning. After graduating and partying with her friends, she settled back into a routine. Now since she could work full time, she was offered an assistant manager position at the boutique. The woman she was replacing was going to take over a store in another mall. Vanessa absently wondered if that mall would have a magic shop with a different wizard in it. She wished the woman good luck and accepted the position. As the summer months progressed, Vanessa got together with the other cheerleaders when ever she got the chance. They were all looking forward to going to the local college and being cheerleaders there, they knew that only some of them might make the new squad since there were going to a lot of new girls competing for a spot. Vanessa was just as hopeful as the rest, she was planning on trying out for the squad also. She would just not be a cheerleader after holloween. She and Dan continued dating and things were starting to get more serious than she would have liked. The problem was, she had so much fun with Dan that she found it difficult to break things off or slow them down. They seemed to connect on so many different things, they had been friends to begin with. After Patty and Dan had done the nasty, Patty didn't talk to Vanessa too much. It was almost like she was trying to avoid her. She had told Patty that she didn't have a problem with it. Patty had told her that she wasn't avoiding her, she was just too busy. She did come into the boutique once right after graduation and asked Vanessa to help her find some new lingerie. She'd explained that she had taken a job as an exotic dancer. With her body and personality, would one expect anything else. She said that she liked it and the money was incredible. One day in the middle of October, the old man was working in the back room, when the bell tinkled. He walked through the curtain and saw Dan. " Good afternoon, Dan." " Hi. I need some advice." " So I can see. I don't like to meddle in the affairs of the heart so I'm not going to tell you what you should do. I will tell you that if you want to keep your girlfriend the way she is, give her a good reason to stay." The wizard smiled. " What do you mean? I don't follow you." Dan asked. " Well, right now, there is no reason for her to stay. She still wants to be a man. You have to give her something to make her want to be a woman." " Like a ring or something?" " I'm not talking about physical things, my boy. I'm talking about from your heart, how you feel and such." Dan thought a minute and big grin broke out on his face. " You mean like tell her I want her to stay a woman and ask her to go steady?" " Aren't you going steady already?" The young man nodded and the wizard continued. " I'm talking about a little more commitment. You want her to make a commitment that will be for another year, offer her a commitment." " Oh! Duh, I see where your going with this. I'm not sure if I'm ready for marriage?" Dan said. " Well, I'm afraid that is what it will take. Now don't do it in haste. Explore your feelings and be sure. You are talking about a life time deal here. If you truly want her to remain a woman, you will be willing to love, honor, and cherish her for life. Anything less just wouldn't be right." " You are absolutely correct. Perhaps I have been selfish, or perhaps not. I guess I have some soul searching to do." " Good boy." The wizard smiled warmly. " Could I ask you a question?" " You just did." The old man quietly chuckled. " No, I mean..." " Go right ahead." " Well, now that we're in college, we've heard rumors and were warned to stay away from you. Everyone says that you are a mean prankster that likes to cause others grief. You seem like a very warm and helpful person. My question is: Are these rumors true? If so, why are you so helpful to us?" Dan quizzed. " That's two questions, but since you're trying to learn I will answer both. The answer to the first is: like with all rumors there is some truth in them somewhere. It might be as little as they did come into my shop or it might be completely true. The answer to your second question is: Many times in life we find that we are treated how we treat others. You, Vanessa and Patty have treated me with respect right from the beginning. So in return, I have treated you with respect. When Vanessa and Patty came in to find out if I could reverse their wishes, they didn't accuse me of turning them into girls. As with many of my other customers, they received exactly what they wished for. They have been they only two in a while that haven't come back in angry with me. I am here to help others but if I get treated poorly. Well then, I can't be responsible for treating them as they have treated me, now can I?" " No, I wouldn't think so. Thanks for everything." Dan said as he turned to go. " Your welcome. Good luck, my boy." The bell tinkled above the door and the old man smiled at finally being able to explain himself to someone. Dan spent several days mulling things over in his mind. It was a difficult decision. He did want to propose out of lust and have Vanessa stay a woman only to wind up a divorced casualty of his lust. He care too much for her to allow that. Hell, they'd been friends since before they started school and her becoming a girl had done little to change that. It might have made them better friends. He finally stopped and listened to himself. So often we can't see the forest for the trees and suddenly it hits us. That is what happened to Dan. The solution to his problem became as obvious as the nose on his face. A week before holloween, Dan told Vanessa to dress nice for dinner, but wouldn't tell her where they were going. Dan took her to a very elegant restaurant and ordered them each a wonderfully prepared mean. After dinner he walked her out to the gazebo beside the restaurant and sat her on one of the benches. He looked at her a moment thinking how lovely she looked in her pink dress with the lace around the collar and around the wrists. He got down on one knee and took her hand. Then he looked into her face. She looked a bit confused as to what he was doing, but went along. He looked in her light green eyes and said. " Vanessa, This had been the most wonderful year of my entire life. I've been doing some thinking." She opened her mouth to say something and he gently placed his finger over her mouth to silence her, then he continued. " Vanessa, I have realized that I love you and I want to always be with you. So Vanessa, will you marry me?" She was stunned. She had never saw this coming. She felt tears begin to trickle down her cheek. She was so full of emotion right then. Finally she spoke. " Dan, this has been a wonderful year for me as well. I'm honored that you want to marry me, but I'm a man and I'm going to go back to being a man next week..." " Just think about it, please?" " I don't..." " Please?" When she saw the look on his face she said. " Okay, I'll think about it." He took her home and went home to think. I didn't look like things were going to work out like he had planned. He went to his room and sulked a little. Vanessa thought about it constantly for the next couple of days. Try as she might, she just couldn't stop thinking about it. It sounded wonderful to become Mrs. Dan Kerns, but how was she going to marry Dan if she was going to wish to become a man again. They would look awful silly getting married then. She felt like a kid who is only allowed one piece of candy and has found two of her favorites. She was going to have to give one of them up. The question was, which one? The bell tinkled above the door. " Ah, sweet Vanessa. Good morning." The wizard smiled. She had become a regular here. Not for magical items, she'd already had one too many. She came for advice a lot. " Good morning." " Troubled?" * * * SRU/ A Tale of Three 3/3 by Jennifer Adams " Yes." She replied. " Dan asked me to marry him." " That's wonderful!" The wizard exclaimed. " Not really. Well, yes it is, but..." " But your not sure" The pretty young woman nodded. " On one hand I think I really love Dan too. On the other, I don't have an other cause I'm dating any girls. I like being pretty, but I want to be rugged. Of course, I wasn't really rugged before. I like all the friends I have now, I didn't have many before. I did think so at first, but I like the secretarial studies and my job as a manager. I won't be able to be a manager of a women's shop when I become a man. And the list goes on." She added. " Well Vanessa, it seems to me that you've already made your decision and just haven't realized it yet." He always liked talking with Vanessa, aside from her admiration for his wizardry she had embraced her femininity so much over the last year that her positive attitude was contagious. Even when he'd had a bad day, her attitude could brighten it up. " Well, being a girl hasn't been all fun and games. There are things I feel I missed out on because I was a girl and not a boy. Then there is menstruation." She made a face. " My sister and I seem to be more at odds since I've become a girl..." " Everything has its pros and cons." " I suppose so. I'm just so scared. What if I decide in a year that I was wrong and don't really want to spend the rest of my life as a woman. Then Dan's world will be torn apart." She admitted. " All you can do is follow your heart and hope for the best. Most of the decisions we have to make can be and are scary. You just have to overcome your fear and go on." " Thank you. You can always help me understand myself." She smiled and lit up the store. " Well, I've been around the block more times than I care to remember." " So? How old are you really?" The old man smiled a little. " I'll give you and idea. Do you know Merlin?" " You mean the great wizard of Camelot?" She queried. " Not personally." " I do. Have a nice day." With that, the store vanished and Vanessa found herself standing in the corridor. Several days later, it was the 30th of October once again. The wizard was just sitting behind the counter playing solitaire. It was a little different than what most people play and the cards were a little different, but it was still a game to just kill time. He was a little surprised that it was this slow today being the day before holloween and all, but then you'll have that. His thoughts were interrupted by the tinkling of the bell. He looked up and a big smile crossed his face. " Dan, Vanessa? What a pleasant surprise. How are you today?" He already knew how they were and why they were here the moment they walked in, but he liked to ask to be polite. Dan spoke while Vanessa stood with her arm around Dan. " We are just fine today. And how are you?" " A little bored until a moment ago." They laughed. Dan said. " We stopped by to ask you something." Vanessa stepped forward a little and Dan moved his hands to her waist just above her skirt. She said. " I was wondering if you come to our wedding on the 23 of January?" She handed him an envelope with lavender flowers and no name on it. He saw the others when she opened her purse and this was the only blank one. She added. " we weren't sure how to address it." " That's fine. Yes I would love to come to the wedding." He beamed. She handed him something else. He opened his hand and she dropped a coin into it and said. " I don't think I'll be needing this anymore. I have all I could wish for now." Dan blushed a little and handed his coin over also. " Me too." He said looking at the beauty in his hands. Just then the bell tinkled and they all looked to see Patty in a yellow dress and matching shoes. Her breasts were huge. She noticed Dan the wizard looking at them and said. They've grown a little, they're double D's now." She giggled. " So?" the old man said. " What brings you by my little shop on such a fine day?" She replied. " I came by to give you this and to say thank you for giving it to me in the first place." She handed him a coin that looked like the two in his hand. " I don't need it anymore. Maybe you can find someone else who needs it." She noticed the other two coins in his hand and remarked to the boyfriend and girlfriend. " Giving your's back, too?" They nodded. " I knew you would wind up together. Didn't I say it?" Again they nodded. Vanessa said. " Patty? Would you be my Maid of Honor?" With a second thought she said. " I would love to. Oh, I gotta run. We're going to dinner." she pointed out the window and they saw a young man from campus standing and waiting. She rubbed her nipples so they poked through her blouse. She looked at Vanessa and said. " The price we pay for popularity." She turned and walked out of the shop. He looked a little confused as to where his date went. They watched her walk out of the shop and he seemed surprised like she'd appeared out of nowhere. Vanessa said. " I think she paid more than hardening her nipples." Then she covered her breasts so the men's eyes wouldn't be attracted to look at the spot mentioned. They all chuckled knowingly at her comment. Dan added. " And the price we pay for love?" She chuckled and said. " It's worth it. Besides, I wouldn't have it any other way." This brought more laughter. Soon, Dan and Vanessa also said good-bye as they had a lot of plans to make in such a short time. The old man waved as they walked out of the shop arm in arm. He couldn't resist looking at the young woman's ass as it swayed out the door and grinned. " Well Anselm!" Came a voice from behind him. Startled, he looked and saw Ancaliquara the Golden. " It looks like you've done a good thing here with that Dan and Vanessa. You even got to turn her into a girl." " I had nothing to do with it, it was her wish. I only showed her what she was saying that she really wanted: To marry Dan." Anselm said. Suddenly her eyes narrowed a little as she spoke. " Now, I don't know if what you did with Patty was right..." He opened his hand and showed her three coins. " She couldn't have been too unhappy with it. She did, after all, return her coin and I didn't mess with her mind this time." " Well... I guess you're right. Customer satisfaction is best, and a happy customer is a good customer. No matter how weird their happiness seems." Ancaliquara concluded. EPILOG The bell tinkled above the door. The wizard looked up to a pretty young woman with a swollen belly waddle into the shop. " Good Afternoon Mrs. Kerns?" " Good Afternoon." She said. He thought she looked radiant. She handed him a small envelope. He opened it and it read: Thank you for the wedding gift. That was a very good aphrodisiac. We couldn't leave the honeymoon suite all week. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Kerns After reading the card the old man said. " I'm glad you enjoyed it." He gently touched her round firm belly and looked at her questioningly. She nodded. She said. " There was one other thing." He had long stopped reading her mind, so he asked her. " Oh? And what might that be?" Vanessa smiled from ear to ear with pride. " Well, I'm carrying a boy." He nodded. " Dan and I discussed it and we would like to make sure that what happened to me won't happen to him. Becoming a girl the way I did..." " Say no more." He said, handing her a paper straw that was folded at both ends just like the pixie sticks she'd seen as a boy. He continued. " I know what you're thinking, only this is real pixie dust and a sprinkle in his bottle will do the trick" He finished with a wink. * * *
