Here's my SRU anniversary story that I mentioned last week. I had hoped
to have it ready for the October 8 anniversary, but fell a little short.
Either that or I got a little longwinded ... again.
This story is a little different from the others as I've written in the
SRU universe in that its also a prequel of sorts to one of my non-SRU
stories posted last month. It didn't start out that way, but given some
of the characters I needed for this, I think it worked out better.
You shouldn't have to read "Raised with the Dance" first, but if haven't
and want to, it should be available on the tsa-talk archives and on
fictionmania. If, instead, you want to read it after reading this, it
should still be available in one of those two sites.
Those who archive stories freely may do so. As usual, just let me know
you're doing so.
Some of you who worry or have to worry about foul language, please be
advised that I have used what can be described in the colorful language
of Elmira (of "Pinky, Elmira, and the Brain," formerly of the
"Animaniacs") a few pottymouth words.
Hope you enjoy it.
And once again, Happy Anniversary SRU.

SRU: Friends are Thicker than Wishes
by Bill Hart
Kyle Thompson and Marvin Littleton were best friends. That wasn't all
that unusual, as two people being considered best friends was something
that could be said of many people. But there were very few could claim
they had been best friends literally from the day each of them had been
born.
All who knew them believed that somehow fate had conspired with destiny
to make the two of them the closest of best friends. Theirs was a
special, almost unique, relationship. And when something happened to
one, then sooner or later it must inevitably happen to the other.
Their mothers had been neighbors, as had also been their fathers.
And Kyle's mother and father were married at the same hour on the same
day as Marvin's mother and father in churches just across the street
from one another.
Each set of parents bought a house in the town's brand new housing
development from the same salesman, signing the papers just fifteen
minutes apart. Escrow closed on both within the same minute. And when
their moving vans from the same rental company arrived at exactly the
same time, they were all surprised at finding themselves still
neighbors.
And that very night each couple spent their first night in their new
homes was the exact night that both future mothers later determined
they'd been put into a family way.
Both had the same obstetrician. And, more often than not, their
appointments were on the same day. And causing their doctor some
despair, both had to be rushed to the hospital at three in the morning.
Both gave birth to sons, in adjoining delivery rooms, at _exactly_ the
same time.
Kyle and Marvin, despite having different parents, were almost like
twins. And both families, more often then not, treated them as if they
were. Strangely, they even seemed to have that special bond that twins
shared. It was a bond that might be bent from time to time, but it had
never been broken.
And its greatest test had been exactly three years later to the day. It
had easily survived the births of Marvin's brother Steven and Kyle's
sister Alana.
But even best friends sometimes had problems between themselves. And
yet, when one of them was in trouble, the other was always nearby to
lend his support. Neither generally abused their bond.
So when Marv told Kyle he was going to visit a sick relative in the
hospital, Kyle had believed him. But Marv had actually made a date with
Jennifer Lawton. Marvin had given the same story to his steady
girlfriend Cheryl Allison. And he knew that Kyle would cover for him if
he were asked if knew where Marv had been.
Marv almost got away with it.
Unfortunately for Marv, he and Jennifer had been spotted dining together
by Kyle's girlfriend Nancy Williams. And Nancy had wasted little time
before telling her friend Cheryl what she'd seen.
The next day, both girls managed to separately ask both boys where Marv
had been the might before. Kyle's answers matched Marv's. According to
both, Marv had been to see a sick relative. Nancy was hurt that Kyle
would knowingly lie to her. Instead of either girl telling Marv or Kyle
they knew the real truth, they decided to get back at them, hoping to
teach them both a valuable lesson.
There was a big couples-only bash coming up on the weekend. Everyone in
town would be there. Nancy and Cheryl decided that the bash was their
perfect opportunity to teach the boys not to lie to them. They would
not let Kyle or Marv take them to the bash. And by the time they were
finished, they felt certain no other girl in town would go with them
either. And if the boys had no dates, they wouldn't be allowed into the
couples-only bash.
Nancy and Cheryl quickly spread the word.
Kyle and Marv were both very surprised when Nancy and Jennifer both told
them they couldn't go to the bash with them. And even more
surprisingly, every other girl that either of them asked afterwards also
said "no."
* * * * *
With the party mere hours away, Marv, still unable to make a date for
the evening, was getting increasingly more desperate. When he went to
the mall, even the precocious mallrats he asked simply laughed at him
before turning him down.
Something wasn't right about this situation , but he had no idea what
might be wrong. Nor could he shake the feeling that Cheryl was mad at
him for some reason. Certainly, she couldn't have found out about him
and his one-night fling with Jennifer Lawton. He'd been so careful
about not leaving loose ends. And he knew that Kyle, since he had only
known what he'd been told, had backed up his story completely when
they'd asked him.
She couldn't know.
Could she?
As he'd walked about the mall, he spotted a small sign on an odd little
hole-in-the-wall shop, that he'd never really noticed being in the mall
before. A simple banner reading "Anniversary Sale / If You Need It, Ask
for It" hung in the window of "Spells 'R Us."
"Why not?" he muttered to himself. "I've nothing to lose."
Marvin walked through the door and was startled when the little bell
overhead tinkled as it opened. As Marv looked around the nearly empty
little shop, he was surprised that someone could a business with so
little stock. At most, there were a couple of very uninteresting
looking items on one of the shelves near the back of the store. "This
is a total waste of my time," he mumbled, then, having decided to leave,
turned back towards the door he had entered.
"You really should learn to be more patient, Marvin," said the old man
dressed in a ratty old bathrobe. Oddly, he had entered from a backroom
that Marvin hadn't noticed before. "There are only a few hours left
before the big bash begins and neither you nor Kyle have a date."
Marv's jaw dropped open. "How do you know my name?" he asked. "And how
do you know about Kyle's and my problems finding dates to the big bash."
"Oh, really Marv..." replied the old man. "I can call you Marv, can't
I, Marv?" Marv nodded yes. "I really must get a sign or something,"
mumbled the old man to himself. "I'm a wizard, Marv," he stated. "And
I know just about everything about ... just about everything."
"Yeah, right," he answered skeptically. "And I'm this month's Playboy
Playmate."
The wizard smiled. "You know, Marv, that could be arranged."
"What?"
"Oh never mind, its just a little joke of mine. I know what you'd like.
How about a little test? You can ask me any question you'd like
answered that you don't think I'll be able to answer."
Marv decided he'd better play along. The old man looked fairly
harmless, but he might prove to be dangerous if he didn't humor him.
"Okay, Mr. Wizard, here's a question for you. Why can't Kyle and I get
dates for the big bash tonight?"
The old man sighed. "And here I thought you would at least ask for
something difficult - something like how can I achieve world peace,"
replied the wizard. "But the answer to your question is very simple,
Marv. The two of you have no dates this evening because Kyle's
girlfriend Nancy Williams saw you sneaking about on your date with
Jennifer Lawton after you'd told _your_ girlfriend Cheryl Allison that
you were going to see a sick relative in the hospital." The old man
shook his head. "That is not overly original, Marv. But that's why
_you_ have no date tonight. And Kyle, believing what you told him
because he's your best friend, unknowingly repeated your lie to both
Nancy and Cheryl. That's why _he_ has no date. The girls are trying to
get even with both of you."
"Oh, shit. So that's the reason Cheryl seems to be mad at me."
"Exactly, Marv. But perhaps, I can still help you."
"How?" asked Marv. "This place is nearly empty. There's nothing left
in this shop, useful or otherwise."
"That is almost true. It is true that the main shop is nearly bare,"
replied the wizard. "But I'm totally confidant I have something in the
backroom that's bound to a great deal of help to you." Without waiting
for Marv's answer, the old man walked off towards the backroom door.
"What an odd old fart," mumbled Marv. "He must really believe he's a
wizard. But I wonder how he found out I wasn't being completely honest
with Cheryl."
The wizard returned with a broad smile spread across his face. "You
weren't honest with her at all, Marv." The old man held out a small
item to Marv. "I believe you will find this to be most helpful."
"How?" replied Marv with a laugh. "This is only a rabbit's foot."
"But that's just it, Marv. It's not a rabbit's foot," answered the old
man. "Nope, it's not a rabbit's foot at all. This is actually a rare
wibitsh foot, although it is often mistaken for a rabbit foot by the
novice."
"A wibitsh foot?" repeated Marv. "So what is it supposed to do?" he
asked warily.
"Why, it grants each person that possesses it three wishes."
"Three ... Wishes ..." said Marv as he decided he needed to get away
from this old man and far away from this shop before he turned violent
or worse.
"That's right, Marv ... but only _three_ wishes ... no more."
"How much?" asked Marv, thinking if he bought it, he could escape this
place without causing an incident.
"Today, it is absolutely free," answered the wizard. "It's a part of
our second anniversary giveaway. You know, Marv, it's sometimes very
difficult to believe you've been in the same place, more or less, for
two whole years." He handed the wibitsh foot to Marvin. then casually
returned to his backroom, leaving Marvin all alone in the main shop.
"What the hell." Marvin quickly stashed the foot in his pants pocket
and decided he'd better get the hell out of this place while he still
could.
* * * * *
"It's too bad I don't really believe any of that shit the old man tried
to peddle," Marv said to himself as he wandered about the mall. "Three
wishes. What a load of crap."
But what if it were true, he thought. I could make a wish for Cheryl to
be my date for tonight's big bash. But what would that gain me? Not all
that much I suspect, since Cheryl would have gladly gone with me in the
first place, if she hadn't thought she'd caught me being unfaithful to
her. It would wasting a wish to get back to what should have been the
status quo.
"I just couldn't wish to take her now," muttered Marvin. "She was
trying to get even with me and Kyle. She thought we were both lying to
her and Nancy, instead of trying to spare her feelings about my one time
date with Jennifer. Now it would almost be a reward to her for me
taking her to the bash." It would be far better if I taught her a
lesson instead, he thought. "But to do that I have to find a girl who'll
go with me to the bash. "It can't be just any girl though. She'd have
to be beautiful and very sexy. Showing up with a girl like that on my
arm would really show Cheryl that she couldn't mess with me."
But it didn't take long for Marv to run out of places he thought he
might have overlooked earlier in searching for this dream girl of his.
With no place left to look, Marv decided to drop by Kyle's place to
commiserate with his best friend.
"Aren't you going to the big bash tonight?" asked Marv.
"No. Nancy's pissed at me for some reason and I couldn't find another
date," replied Kyle. "It looks like I'm staying home. How about you,
Marv?"
"Cheryl's mad at me too, Kyle. I wasn't able to find a date either," he
answered. "It appears she was very thorough in making sure that no
girls would accept dates with either of us for the bash tonight. I've
even been turned down by more teeny bopper mallrats then I could have
ever imagined existed."
"So you aren't going either."
Marv smiled. "Of course, I'm going, Kyle. I just don't know how yet,
but there is no way I'm letting Cheryl best me win on this."
"But it's a _couples only_ party, Marv," said Kyle. "If you aren't a
couple, they won't let you in.
"Then maybe you and I can go together," replied Marv, grasping at
straws. "There are two of us and it only takes two to make a couple."
Kyle shook his head. "I don't think so, Marv. They said _couples_
only. And the two of us don't exactly fit their definition of what it
takes to make a couple, Marv. In order to be a couple in the eyes of
those throwing this little shindig, one of us would have to be a girl.
The last time I looked, both of us were boys. And there's nothing that
can be done to change that."
Marv suddenly smiled as if he'd been possessed by an inspirational
thought. "Maybe there is something I can do about that."
"Yeah, right."
"No, I mean it." Marv reached into his pants pocket and pulled out the
wibitsh foot the old man had given him. "With this."
"What can you do with an old rabbit's foot, Marv?"
"That's just what I said, Kyle. But it's not a rabbit foot, it's
actually a wibitsh foot," he replied. "Not that I'm all so sure I
believe any of it, but the old man in that weird little shop at the mall
who gave it to me said it would grant me three wishes."
"Wishes? If you don't believe him, then why bring it up?" asked Kyle.
"Would you like to buy that valuable swamp land I own in southern
Arizona?"
"I don't really believe him," replied Marv. "Well ... not exactly,
anyway."
"Then why don't you go ahead and make some stupid wish on this wibitsh
foot of yours," suggested Kyle scornfully. "As soon as you do, then
we'll know, without any doubts, what's true and what's false."
"That's a good idea, Kyle," replied Marv, who didn't have to think very
long about what he wanted to wish for first. All this thing had to do
now was work the way old man had said it would. "I wish that my best
friend Kyle would assume the shapely and incredibly sexy form of my
dream girl."
"Oh fuck," swore Kyle as he began feeling strangely throughout his
entire body. "What the hell is happening?" he asked, startled at
hearing his voice grew higher and more sultry with each spoken syllable.
As Marv watched on, Kyle's body grew shorter.
His short brown hair suddenly began to redden, just prior to it rapidly
flowing out onto and over his shoulders.
His brown eyes turned emerald green.
All of the buttons on his shirt popped off from the pressure exerted by
his ballooning breasts.
Kyle groaned as his pants pressed tightly against his expanding hips and
swelling butt. He felt like he were caught in a giant and very powerful
vise.
Marv stared at the form of the girl who only moments before had worn the
shape of his best friend. Not having actually believed his wish would
come true, Marv was surprised by his friend's new appearance. At the
same time, he was totally unable to hide his growing interest in _her_
from _him_.
Kyle stared in disbelief at those parts of himself he could see. Even
after running his hands across his ample breasts and caressing his
sensitive nipples, Kyle still couldn't believe he now had the body of
some girl from straight out of one of Marv's wet dreams. Even worse,
Kyle could tell from the bulge in Marv's pants, that he seemed to be
appraising him as if he were actually this girl he appeared to be.
"Whatever you've done to me needs to be undone." Kyle made one step in
Marv's direction before falling flat on his face.
Marv smiled. "You know, Kyle, you are now exceptionally beautiful, even
if you are awfully clumsy."
Kyle tried to stand up, but, between his altered center of gravity and
the vise-like grip of his pants, succeeded for almost a minute before
falling down once more. "This is all your fault, Marv. I don't want to
have this girl's body. Change me back right now."
"Not quite yet, Kyle," grinned Marv. "Can't you see? This has some
very interesting possibilities."
"What kind of possibilities?" Kyle asked nervously.
"For one, you're a girl now, Kyle. Or at least, for general purposes,
you appear to be one," explained Marv. "As a girl, you and I can go to
the big bash together as a couple. No one will be any the wiser. And
I'd be terribly disappointed, and quite surprised, if anyone even
thought you weren't a girl."
"You mean you'd want to go out with a _girl_ who can't even take a
single step without falling flat on her face," snarled Kyle.
"I can fix that."
"Oh. Yeah, right," snapped Kyle. "Another wish?"
"Exactly." Marv held the wibitsh foot in his hand and looked straight
at Kyle. "I wish that Kyle now stood before me with the perfect
coordination, natural reactions, and proper attire for the girl he
appears to be."
Once again, Kyle began feeling strange. Without knowing how, or when it
had happened, he suddenly found himself standing in front of Marv
perfectly balanced on shoes with three-inch heels.
The sleeves of his shirt, whose buttons had earlier popped off with his
enlarging breasts, vanished abruptly. The two sides of his shirt
crawled back across his breasts and fused together seamlessly to form a
tight-fitting sleeveless tank top, which more than adequately displayed
Kyle's new and quite bountiful breasts.
The legs of his denim pants became one, then slowly crept up his legs
leaving in their place a tight fitting denim skirt of mid-thigh length.
As he walked toward Marvin, Kyle casually flicked his hair away from his
face. Marvin was amazed with Kyle's overtly sensual movements and his
exceptional feminine grace. As he came nearer, Kyle stared angrily at
Marv. "Change me back," he demanded in a breathy and extremely sexy tone
of voice.
"Why?" smiled Marv.
Marv's simple answer caught Kyle by surprise. "Just what do you mean
'why?'" he asked. "Isn't it obvious. I may not look it at this moment,
but I'm not a girl, Marv. And I really don't want to have this girl
body nor do I want to act and dress like one."
"So you're willing to let Cheryl and Nancy win?"
"Why do you keep saying that? Win what? I'd really like to know what
the hell you've been talking about?"
"Haven't you guessed yet, Kyle?" said Marv. "Cheryl and Nancy are the
reason we couldn't get find dates tonight. Nancy saw me talking with
Jennifer Lawton the other night. Then she ran off and told Cheryl
everything she'd _thought_ she'd seen. As a result, they decided to get
back at _us_ by making sure we wouldn't be able to go to the bash
tonight."
"Why should Nancy be mad at me if you were talking to Jennifer?" asked
Kyle. "And what has any of that to do with changing me into a girl?"
"Don't you see, Kyle. Just think about it for a minute," explained
Marv. "With you having a girl's body, we can pretend to be a couple and
go to the bash together. When Nancy and Cheryl see _you_ the girl there
with me, they'll know their plan to get even with us has failed."
Kyle looked at his friend skeptically. "I can see how that helps you,
Marv. After all, you'll be at the bash with a girl having fun. I'm
still not exactly sure I understand why they're mad at me, but I don't
see how your being there with any girl helps me at all. As far as the
girls will be concerned, I still won't be there, which means that their
plan won't be such a total failure."
"Now just think about that for another minute, Kyle," replied Marv.
"Who do you think they are _really_ trying to get even with? _You_? Or
_me_?"
"Well. You, I suppose."
"That's right, Kyle. Me," answered Marv. "And just how do you think
that Nancy is going to feel, when _you_ appear to be the only one being
punished and _I_ appear to be getting away scott free."
"I think she's gonna be pissed at Cheryl." Kyle suddenly smiled.
"Nancy might even want to find some mutually enjoyable way to make it up
to me."
"Doesn't that help you, Kyle?"
"When you put it that way, I suppose it does." Kyle grinned.
"So what do say, buddy?" asked Marv. "Do you help your best friend out
by being a girl and my date to the couples-only bash tonight? Or not?"
"If I do this?" asked Kyle. "You'll wish me back to normal as soon as
we get back home tonight?"
"Of course, I will," replied Marv.
"Then, I guess it'll be okay," said Kyle. "I'll do it for you, Marv.
I'm sure if things were reversed, then you'd be doing the same for me."
"You know I would, Kyle. That's why we are and will always be best
friends. But ..."
"But what?" worriedly asked Kyle.
"I think we need to pick out a new name for you."
"What's wrong with Kyle?" he asked. "Kyle can just as easily be a
girl's name. Or maybe, if you'd rather, I suppose we could feminize it
a little more to either Kyla or Kylie."
"I don't know, Kyle," replied Marv. "Somehow none of those names seem
to fit your new body. Since we're trying to make Cheryl jealous, I
think your name should be something more exciting, perhaps even a little
exotic," Marv scratched his head. "I think I have it. How about
Krysti? I think Krysti will be absolutely perfect for you. What do you
think?"
"Hmm," mused Kyle. "Krysti? I think I like it, Marv."
Marv smiled. "Well then _Krysti_, what do you say we strike out for the
big bash, so we can turn a few heads.
The big bash was in full swing when Marv and Kyle arrived. As they'd
walked along the way, they'd planned what to achieve the maximum effect
on those in attendance. Krysti entered draped all over the arm of
Marvin. And exactly as they'd expected, several heads turned as they'd
entered. But also, just as they'd expected, not all of those turning
heads belonged to envious males.
"I thought you told me _he_ wouldn't be here tonight," said Nancy.
"He shouldn't be here. Every girl I spoke with agreed not to accept a
date with either of them tonight," replied Cheryl. "I've never seen
_her_ before. How could I know he'd go and find some bimbo slut to
bring."
"But it doesn't look like Kyle came with them," sulked Nancy. "You
know, I would have much rather been here tonight with Kyle. But I had
to listen to you instead. I had to settle for coming here with Jason
Morgan. And, since I don't particularly like Jason all that much, I
don't really have any idea why I bothered to show up at all."
"Tell me about it," agreed Cheryl. "But things could have been a lot
worse for you, Nancy. Your coming here with Jason tonight is a hell of
a lot better by far than being brought here by that cheapskate asshole
Tom Campbell that I got stuck with tonight. Have you any idea how much
he _charged_ me to let him bring me here tonight?"
"You're kidding," replied Nancy in surprise.
"I wish I were," said Cheryl. "And even worse, _he_ thinks I'm going to
put out for him later this evening."
"Evening girls," interrupted Marv with a grin. "I hope I'm not
interrupting anything important."
"Hello, Marv," replied Cheryl coldly. She stared icy daggers at the
unknown redhead clinging to his arm.
"Did Kyle come with the two of you?" asked Nancy hopefully.
Marv looked first at Cheryl, before turning to answer Nancy's question.
"I thought _you_ knew, Nancy. For some unknown reason, Kyle was unable
to find a date for this evening after _you_ turned him down. And since
he didn't have a date that meant he couldn't attend this _couples only_
event tonight. Poor Kyle had to stay home all alone."
Thinking he was teaching Nancy a valuable lesson, Kyle smiled at her,
but when he saw the tears welling up in her eyes, he no longer felt as
smug as he had a few moments before. In fact, he no longer felt felt
like smiling or gloating, he wanted to hold her and make her pain
lessen.
"I'm Krysti," said Kyle with warm smile that he hoped would make the
girls feel more comfortable with his presence.
But neither girl said a word to him.
Nor did they want to.
"Where are my manners," exclaimed Marv. "Krysti, this is Nancy. And
this is Cheryl. Girls, this my date for the evening, Krysti." He
smiled at them. "Would any of you like something from the refreshment
stand?"
"I'd like something to drink," replied Kyle fluttering his eyelashes at
him for Cheryl's benefit. "You're such a gentleman, Marv," he cooed, as
Marv left for the refreshment table, while _Krysti_ stayed behind with
the other girls.
"How long have you known Marv, Krysti?" asked Cheryl with no trace of a
thaw in her icy voice.
"Not very long, Cheryl. I just stopped for the night. I'm passing
through town and will probably be long gone by the time the sun comes up
tomorrow morning."
"That's good," mumbled Cheryl under her breath.
But before Kyle could react, Tom Campbell, having spotted an unknown red
haired beauty talking with Cheryl and Nancy, decided he better take his
place next to his date, if for no other reasons than to find out who she
was and see if she was available to be picked up sometime in the future.
"Hey, babe," he addressed the new girl. "My name's Tom Campbell.
What's yours?"
"Krysti," replied Kyle forcing a smile. Although he had a good idea,
given what Nancy had told him previously about Tom Campbell, he couldn't
keep himself from wondering what this stupid asshole wanted from him.
"There's going to be a big gala opening of the new dance club in town
next weekend, babe. I was wondering if you'll be going?"
Kyle couldn't believe his ears. And he seriously doubted whether Nancy
or Cheryl could either. "Are you asking _me_ out on a date, Mr.
Campbell? And right here in front of your current date?" Kyle wondered
what made some want to be seen with a total asswipe like Tom Campbell.
"Of course not, babe," squirmed Tom. And Kyle really enjoyed watching
him squirm. "I was just wondering, if you were going. That's all," he
said more to Cheryl than Krysti.
"_I_ don't expect to be in town next week," replied Kyle.
"That's too bad," said Tom hurriedly. He turned to Cheryl. "Hey babe.
I just saw my buddy Chuck Alderson arrive with that total fox Jennifer
Lawton. He's sure one lucky son of a bitch to be here with her. I'll
be back in a minute or two, although it might be a little longer, babe.
I have a couple of things I really must discuss with my buddy Chuck."
"Take your time," snapped Cheryl, mentally adding _asshole_.
"Under what pile of horse shit did you find that?" asked Kyle.
Nancy and Cheryl both smiled, then suddenly laughed. At last, the ice
between them and Krysti had been broken. "There's some hope for you
yet, girl," said Cheryl, which made Kyle smile and generally feel
better.
A moment later, Jason Morgan came over and began talking with Nancy. As
Kyle listened, he couldn't understand why Nancy had ever agreed to come
with Jason instead of him. Making it even stranger, he knew she didn't
think much of Jason. But trying to be fair, Kyle knew he wasn't exactly
a member of the Jason Morgan fan club either. Even though he'd never
been able to explain exactly what it was, there was just something
peculiar about Jason he didn't like.
"While you're busy talking with Jason," Cheryl told Nancy, "I'll try and
explain a few things to Krysti that she should know about _our_
gentleman Marv."
Cheryl took Kyle aside and quickly related how Nancy had spotted Marv
out on a date with Jennifer Lawton, two-timing her when he'd told her
he'd be seeing a sick relative in the hospital that night. And when
both she and Nancy had asked both Marv and his best friend Kyle, they
had both obviously lied to save Marv's neck.
The way Cheryl explained things didn't make Kyle feel very good. He had
no reason to doubt what she'd told him, which meant Marv had lied to him
about what he'd be doing that night. As a result, he had passed
Marvin's lie along as the truth. It was no wonder they were mad at
them. He began to wonder what he could do to patch things up with Nancy
once he was himself again.
"Maybe this Kyle person, didn't know that Marvin was dating that girl
behind your back," he suggested.
"I doubt it. Kyle had to know," replied Cheryl. "The two of them are
best friends. And Marv would never hide something like that from him."
Marv returned with the refreshments. Kyle took his from drink from
Marv, all the while looking at him with budding anger. "I think we need
to have a long talk, _Marvin_," he told him firmly, as both Cheryl and
Nancy muttered barely audible, "Alright, Krysti."
"You shouldn't have lied to me, Marv," said Kyle. "And we shouldn't
have lied to them either."
"No, Krysti," replied Marv. "We should have been more careful and not
got caught."
Kyle looked at his friend with disbelief. "Lying is wrong, Marv," he
stated emphatically. "Lying to your best friend is not what a best
friend should be doing. Your best friend shouldn't have to lie,
knowingly or otherwise, in an attempt to cover your ass." Kyle stormed
away angrily.
"Stupid bitch," muttered Marv, as he watched his friend leave. "But
I'll be damned if she hasn't got the tightest little ass I've seen in
months. I really must try and patch things up with her before going
home. If I'm really lucky, then maybe, I might be able to convince Kyle
that _he_ wants to remain Krysti for a while longer."

Kyle wandered about angrily for several minutes lost in thought, then
suddenly stopped as he heard a pair of familiar voices."
"Is everything set up, Tom?" asked Chuck Alderson.
"Perfectly," replied Tom Campbell. "I've bet Jason twenty bucks that
you'll take his girlfriend Monica Andrews to the opening of the new
dance club next week. If we win, then you get half."
"What do you mean _if_, Tom? I know you've made certain we'll win."
"Don't I always?" he chuckled.
Kyle didn't want to believe what he'd heard. Tom Campbell had
apparently made some stupid wager with Jason Morgan and here he was
conspiring with Chuck Alderson to win by cheating. "It's dumb fucks
like them that give the rest of us guys a bad name," he muttered,
casually sweeping his red mane out from in front of his eyes. Even if I
don't like Jason all that much, he thought, nobody should lose a bet
because some asshole cheated them. "Cheating is just as bad as lying,"
he mumbled. "Damn. I wonder if being in this body has somehow affected
my mind. I can't believe how differently I see some things now that I'm
walking around and acting like a girl."
Quickly looking around, Kyle located Jason. He was still talking to
Nancy.
"Excuse me, Jason," he tried to interrupt.
"Go away, girl," replied Jason. "I'm busy."
"But I have to talk to you, Jason," said Kyle. "It's very important."
Annoyed at this girl for bothering him, Jason slowly turned and looked
deeply into Kyle's green eyes. "You no longer have a need to speak to
me. Whatever it was you thought I needed to be told is no longer of any
importance to you. Consequently you have now forgotten all about it,"
Jason put his hand on Kyle's temple. "Close your eyes, little bitch.
Go find your man and enjoy yourself. That is, after all, the reason you
and he came here this evening. So return to him now. Show him how much
he means to you. And until he takes you home tonight, you will have
nothing but fun, young slut."
Krysti slowly opened her eyes. She shook her head as if she'd just
awakened from a short nap, then wandering away into the crowd. I really
must find Marv, she thought.
That takes care of the interruption, thought Jason. Besides what could
a stupid bimbo slut like that have ever known which might have been of
any importance to an apprentice warlock like myself. Smiling at his
ingenuity, Jason returned his full attentions to Nancy who hadn't
noticed them being elsewhere while he'd temporarily altered Krysti's
thought patterns.
As she looked for Marv, Krysti wondered why she'd wanted to bother
someone she barely even knew ... about something she couldn't even
remember now. But if she couldn't remember whatever it was, then it
couldn't have been very important in the first place.
Besides, she wasn't here tonight to bother guys she hardly knew. She
was here to have fun - lots of fun. She wanted to dance about and strut
her stuff for all the guys to see.
She wondered where her date Marvin had run off to earlier, although
where he was didn't really bother her very much. Besides, if she
couldn't find him sometime soon, then she was absolutely certain there
would be at least one guy, and more likely several of them, out there
looking to have a barrel of fun with a really hot babe like herself.
* * * * *
Marv was nearly exhausted as he and Krysti walked home from the party.
He couldn't understand where Krysti, still clinging tightly to his arm,
continued to find so much energy. She seemed to be a nearly
inexhaustible dynamo and still full of boundless energy. Marv, knowing
he hadn't made a wish to make her that way, realized that she must have
picked up something strange at the bash. Even as he wondered what it
might be as they continued walking, Marv also knew he now had another
problem.
He had told Kyle, meaning it at the time, that he'd change him back when
they came home. But now he found himself becoming increasingly
attracted to Krysti physically, which he supposed was only natural,
since he had wished Kyle to have the shape and form of his dream girl.
Marv was no longer all that certain he wanted to wish Kyle back into his
own body. But given the really strange way that Krysti had been acting
since she'd found him again after their little disagreement they'd had
about their lying to Nancy and Cheryl, it might not take much to
convince Kyle he wanted to remain Krysti for a while - maybe even
possibly a very long while.
Marv had decided that something must have happened to Kyle between the
time he'd stormed off in anger and the time she'd returned - as Krysti -
in a decidedly more playful mood. From then on, Krysti had acted almost
as if she'd forgotten that she was really Kyle, but, in the long run,
maybe that wasn't such a bad thing after all. If Krysti didn't remember
being Kyle, then she couldn't very easily demand Marv change her back
into Kyle.
Marv decided he could get used to having his dream girl around all the
time. He loved the way she kissed him. And he'd never in his life had
any girl suck his cock like that. And in a public place, no less. He
wondered in what deep dark secret corner of Kyle's mind, Krysti had
acquired that particular talent.
Arriving at the Thompson house, the two of them stepped up onto the
porch. Marv, never noticing a quick glazing and refocusing of Krysti's
eyes, leaned towards her intending to kiss her.
"What the fuck are you doing, asshole?" said Kyle in an extremely
irritated and shocked tone.
Marv was puzzled. "I was going to kiss you good night, Krysti. Just
like I always do when I take my dates home."
"Like fucking hell you are," he replied angrily. "Are you crazy? Or
have you just forgotten that I'm your best friend Kyle and not this sexy
little tart Krysti you wished up for yourself."
Marv frowned, as he realized that whatever had happened to make Kyle act
completely like some lusty nymphomaniac had now worn off. Krysti was
gone and Kyle was back. "The way you were acting at the bash earlier
and on the way home, I thought you were enjoying yourself," said Marv.
"You even gave me the impression that you might like to stay Krysti for
a while longer."
"No fucking way in hell, Marv," swore Kyle. "I'm not a girl and I don't
want to be in this girl body any longer than is absolutely necessary."
He placed his hand on his hip and stared at his friend. Kyle looked
around. "What are we doing here?" he suddenly asked. "The last thing I
remember is walking over to tell Jason Morgan something important ...
but I still can't remember what it was."
Jason Morgan, mused Marv. Now that might explain something. Jason's
always been a strange loner and a real oddball, which tended to make
those incredible rumors that always seemed to be circulating about him
sound a lot more credible. Someone had told once Marv that Jason had
magical powers. Of course, he hadn't believed any of it ... who would?
But Marv's thoughts on magic had changed this night. As he looked at
the sexy form of best friend, he couldn't help but think that Jason was
at the root of Kyle's sharp swings of personality.
"Well," asked Kyle, arms across his breasts and tapping his foot in
building frustration.
"Are you sure that's what you want, Kyle?"
"I'm absolutely positive," he snapped. "I want to me, Marv."
"Well, if that's what you want," replied Marv. It's really too bad Kyle
didn't want to remain Krysti, he thought, we could have had so much fun,
but if that's what he wants. Marv reached into his pocket and pulled
out the wibitsh foot. "Are you really sure this is what you want?"
"Would you quit stalling, Marv," demanded Kyle. "I'm not going to
change my mind. So just make your wish and get it done. The sooner I'm
me again, the better I'll like it."
"Okay, Kyle. Don't get excited. I just wanted to make sure you really
knew what you wanted." He clasped the wibitsh foot tighter, then just
as he about to make his wish, a wicked grin began to spread across his
face instead. "You said you wanted to be you, then I suppose you'll
just have to be you." His grin grew broader. "I wish that my best
friend Kyle would have been born, raised, and have only those memories
consistent with having always been the girl he became this evening and
now appears to be with no one, other than myself Marvin Littleton, ever
able to remember _her_ or even think of _her_ as being anyone other than
my girlfriend Krysti Thompson."
"What the hell..." started Kyle angrily, before beginning to feel most
peculiar. Feeling faint, he quickly lifted his hand to his head as the
dizziness threatened his consciousness. "Shit. I feel really weird,"
he moaned softly in more feminine and seductive tones.
His mind now disjointed from reality, he felt her knees buckle. At the
same time his, or was it now her, own mind was being assaulted by
increasing eddies of strangeness while _his_ old memories of being
_himself_ swirled ever more madly about the vortex his mind had become.
Old memories mixed together randomly to form new. And as the dizziness
began to subside, only _her_ memories of always have been _herself_
remained.
In less time than than it had taken her heart to beat a dozen times, her
mental transformation was now complete. Krysti shook her head to clear
the cobwebs, took a deep breath, and stretched her arms as if just
waking up. Spotting Marv, she grinned mischievously up at him. "Well,
Marvie honey, are you going kiss me good night? Or are you just going
to stand there and play with yourself, tiger?"
"I ... ah ..." stuttered Marv, as he managed to return her smile.
"Marvie, Marvie," scolded Krysti playfully as she ran her tongue lightly
across her upper lip. "I really don't know why you've become so shy all
of a sudden, Marvie baby. I mean, all night long you've had your hands
all over me. Haven't you, baby?" Krysti flashed him a seductive grin.
"Not that I'm complaining."
"I ... ah ... well ..." stammered Marv.
"C'mon, Marvie, hurry up. I really can't wait forever for you to decide
if you're going to kiss me or not, lover boy." Krysti strolled over to
where Marv stood, grabbed him firmly by the shoulders, and planted a
passionate kiss firmly on his surprised lips.
"Wow," said Marvin as Krysti broke from their embrace. His knees felt
weak and his head spun. And, for just a fleeting moment, Marv had had
the strangest visions of his mouth being permanently connected to an
industrial strength vacuum cleaner. What a woman, he thought.
"I thought you might like that, lover." Krysti smiled at him, knowing
he wanted more. That was the way she liked to leave her men hanging.
"It's too bad my parents are home tonight, Marvie," she coyly told him.
"Otherwise, you could come inside for a while. Then I'd be really be
able to explain, with considerable visual aides, exactly what two people
like us mean by having a _really_ good time." Krysti smiled at him
seductively. Strolling sexily back to the door, she opened, then
sauntered through it, allowing it to shut as she disappeared behind it.
Marv stood breathlessly staring at the door. "Damnation," exclaimed
Marv. "I really think that Krysti and I are going to have a whole lot
more fun now than Kyle and I could have ever had. And I wouldn't be
very surprised if Krysti will be a better girlfriend for me ... than ...
whatever the hell her name was."
"What a kiss!" exclaimed Marvin, walking home from next door as if
floating on a cloud. "I really think I'm going to enjoy having Krysti
as my girlfriend. I imagine I'll probably miss Kyle for a little while.
After all he's always been my best friend. But on the other hand, he
hasn't really gone anywhere. He's still here, just in a new and vastly
improved package. Besides, we'll probably both be too ecstatic over the
other improvements in our new relationship for me to even worry about
our old one."
Marv turned the wibitsh foot over in his hand and idly wondered just
what other improvements he could make in his new girlfriend that would
make her even better.
When he entered the living room, Marv found his younger brother Steven
still awake and watching some old science fiction movie on the
television.
"So how did your date with Krysti go tonight, big brother?" Steven
asked.
"Just perfectly, Steve," he replied. "In fact, it actually went a
little better than I'd expected. If you'd like, maybe I can have Krysti
put in a good word for you with her sister Alana. I know you like her."
"Don't bother, Marv," replied Steve. "Alana and I are already good
friends. I don't need _your_ help getting a girl to like me. We're
equal partners in _our_ relationship, Marv. I don't feel the need to
regard her or treat her as just some mere sex object like you do
Krysti."
"But there's nothing wrong with how I treat her," replied Marv. "In
fact, Krysti loves how I treat her."
"Maybe she just tells you that because _she_ knows that's what _you_
want to hear."
"You're beginning to sound just a little jealous, little brother,"
sneered Marv.
"Of you? Not hardly," laughed Steve. "I just know that if I were a
girl I wouldn't want to be seen with someone like you."
"But you're not a girl, Stevie, dear," snarled Marvin. "And you sure as
hell aren't Krysti nor do you know anything about what _she_ wants or
needs." Marvin shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want to argue with you
about this again. All it will do is spoil the good time I had tonight.
Its been a long enjoyable night, and now I'm going to bed. I'll see you
in the morning."
With that Marv quickly turned away and went up the stairs to his room.
But after entering, he slammed the door shut angrily behind him.
"Goddamn motherfucking cocksucker," swore Marv. "How dare my own
brother speak to me that way. He doesn't know how Krysti thinks. And
how can he possibly think he knows what he'd do as a girl?" Suddenly,
Marv began to grin. "But maybe we can find out." Marv pulled out the
wibitsh foot. "I wish that my younger brother Steven will continue
remembering who he was, but be totally transformed into and completely
unable to act in any way contrary to my younger and super-incredibly
sexy sister Stefani, who everyone, other than the two of us, will
remember as _her_ true and natural form." Marv put the wibitsh foot
back in his pocket. "That should teach him ... or her, I suppose ...
not to mess with me."
But when Marv went downstairs a few minutes later to check on his new
sister, he found Steven still watching the same movie on the television.
"I thought you were going to bed," said Steven when he noticed his
brother standing nearby.
"I am," he replied sounding surprised. "I just needed to get a glass of
water first."
Marv returned to his room by way of the kitchen. He stared at the
wibitsh foot as he turned it over and over in his hand. He wondered
what had happened. Why hadn't it changed Steven into Stefani as he'd
wished? It had worked perfectly when he'd first changed Kyle into a
girl and, at the time, he hadn't even believed it would work. It had
also worked without a hitch when he gave Kyle the proper coordination,
mannerisms, and attire to match his new shape. And on top of that, he
had absolutely no complaint about how it had totally rewritten Kyle's
memories into Krysti's. It had already worked perfectly for him three
times. What had he done wrong this time that he'd done right the
previous three times?
"Why wasn't my fourth wish granted?" he asked himself.
Fourth wish??
Suddenly, Marvin heard again the old man's words echo in his mind "but
only _three_, no more."
Marv then realized his last wish hadn't been granted because he'd
already used his allotted three wishes. He could make no more. And
that saddened him. He would be unable to make further improvements in
Krysti, thus depriving her of the opportunity of being an even better
girlfriend than she already was. But suddenly, Marv smiled. He'd had a
marvelous inspiration. "Maybe, if I can get Krysti herself to do the
wishing, I can still make some of those necessary improvements in her."
But Marv was sleepy, it had been a long and eventful day. He was glad
he didn't have to make any tough decisions tonight. He'd sleep on it
and tomorrow morning he'd decide what Krysti would like to make of
herself.
* * * * *
Shortly after rising the next morning, Marv finalized his decisions on
what Krysti would use her wishes for. He'd have her use one wish to
make herself even more incredibly feminine and sexy than she already
was. Another wish would be used to alter her mind a little, so she would
enjoy some of those things they'd liked doing together when she'd been
Kyle. And, unless he needed it to smooth out some kinks in one of her
previous wishes, the last one would have her deal with his little
brother exactly as he had tried to do last night.
He attached the wibitsh foot to a golden chain, which he felt would make
it unnecessary for Krysti to clasp it in her hand. The foot hanging
down from the chain should remain in constant contact with her flesh.
And if he'd guessed the right length for the chain, the wibitsh foot
would probably be clasped more tightly between her breasts than he'd
ever held it in his hand.
"Say hello to Krysti for me," said Steven after coming down from his
room and observing his brother getting ready to leave.
"Who said I was going next door?" asked Marv.
"You didn't have to say anything, Marv. What you were thinking was all
too obvious. 'I'm going to see Krysti' is written all over your face,"
replied Steve. "By the way, if you see Alana, would you remind her
she's supposed to come over here this afternoon so we can work on our
class project."
"Sure," he replied tersely as he left. But once outside, he smiled
again. "Enjoy your manhood while you can Stevie, dear," he mumbled as he
casually walked next door. "If all goes as I've planned, then, the next
time I see you, you should be my super-sexy slutty sister Stefani."
He rapped on the Thompson's door.
"Hello, Marvin," said Mrs. Thompson as she opened the door. "How are
you today?"
"I'm just fine, Mrs. Thompson," he replied. "Is Krysti home?"
"She's in her room," replied Mrs. Thompson. "Alana." She turned to her
younger daughter. "Would you go get your sister, dear. Tell her that
Marvin is here?"
"Sure thing, mom." Alana quickly stood, then started for Krysti's room.
"Oh, Alana," shouted Marv. "Steven wanted me to remind you about coming
over later this afternoon to work on your class project."
"Thanks, Marv," she replied with smile. "I wouldn't have forgotten, but
your brother's always thinking of others." Then she resumed her path to
Krysti's room.
"How is Steven?" asked Mrs. Thompson. "It almost seems that their
friendship is becoming almost as close as yours and Krysti's."
"He's doing just fine, Mrs. Thompson." Marv smiled as he thought about
Alana and Steven, soon to be Stefani, becoming even closer friends
before the day ended.
"Hi Marvie," cooed Krysti breathily as she arrived at the door, then
kissed him full on the lips.
"Hi yourself, beautiful," he replied. "I was wondering if you'd like to
take a walk and just talk for a little while."
Krysti pleadingly turned to her mom.
Unable to deny her daughter, Mrs. Thompson said "As long as you're not
gone very long, dear. Your father and I are having dinner with some new
clients of his at that new restaurant across town."
"We shouldn't be gone very long at all, Mrs. Thompson."
"It doesn't sound like there should be any problem then," replied Mrs.
Thompson.
"Thanks, mom," replied Krysti as she hugged her mother.
As her mother closed the door behind them, Krysti eagerly kissed Marv
once more.
Without waiting, Marv began to implement the first step in his plan for
Krysti's improvement. "Do you think couples should have a lot in
common?" he asked.
"Of course I do, silly," she replied. "You and I tons of things in
common. Don't we?"
"I used to think so, Krysti. But I'm not so sure anymore lately."
Tears welled in Krysti's eyes. "Why not?" she sobbed.
"It's nothing real concrete, Krysti. But let's take sports, as an
example."
"You know I don't like sports very much," she replied.
"I know Krysti." But Marv also knew that Kyle had always loved all
kinds of sports. The two of them had always enjoyed going to any
sporting event. And that was something Marv knew he would really come to
miss with their new arrangement, regardless of whatever improvements he
had made or could make in their relationship. "But you never want to go
with me any more, Krysti."
"I thought you would have more fun going without me. I didn't think
you'd like having me tag along as a wet blanket," explained Krysti.
"Don't you know I always have more fun when you're with me?" argued
Marv. "I always want you to be with me, Krysti."
"That's very sweet, Marv," she replied. "But if I go, I won't have much
fun. And if I don't have fun, then you probably won't have fun either.
And after a while, you'd start to hate me." Krysti began to pout.
"I could _never_ hate you, Krysti. Don't you know that?" said Marv.
"But just suppose for a minute that we could find some way to allow you
to enjoy sports as much as I do. Would you do it?"
"But I can't change who am I or what I like, Marv," replied Krysti.
"But suppose there was some way."
"How?"
Marv pulled the wibitsh foot out of his pocket. "With this, Krysti.
It's a wibitsh foot. If you wear it around your neck on this chain I
made just for you, it will grant you three wishes."
Krysti smiled at him. "Wishes?" she asked. "As in magic?" She shook
her head as her smile broadened. "That's just silly, Marv. You know as
well as I do that there's no such thing as magic."
"Then just humor me a little," he suggested to her. "Think of it as one
of those silly little tests of our committment to each other. You know,
just like the ones you're always telling me about in _Cosmo_ or
_Reader's Digest_. Just put it around your neck and wish that you
enjoyed sports as much as I do."
"I don't know, Marv."
"Oh, I see." Marv began to pout.
"Oh, what the hell. Since there's no such thing as magic anyway, how
can it can't hurt anything." She took the the wibitsh foot from Marv
and slipped it on over her head. The foot settled, as Marv had thought
it would, between her breasts. "That tickles," she said, also noticing
it made Marv smile.
But since it didn't really matter, being as there was no such thing as
either magic or wishes, Krysti wondered why she should limit her wish to
just making herself enjoy sports more. If their relationship was based
on things they had in common, as Marv had told her, wouldn't it be even
better if they had more things in common. She wasn't totally certain
that Marv would like the way she had decided to word this wish.
"I wish that Marv had all the same likes and dislikes that I have,"
wished Krysti.
"What?" asked Marv taken by surprise at the wording of Krysti's wish.
But it didn't take him long to realize that even if it wasn't the wish
he'd had in mind, it might actually prove to be a much better one. His
suggested wish, directed only at sports, had been very specific, but her
actual wish had been extremely generic. Marv looked at Krysti and
smiled, but, most strangely, he no longer felt that same intense
physical attraction towards Krysti that he had been feeling prior to her
making her wish.
"Are you alright, Marv?" she asked with concern, sensing something might
be wrong with him.
"I think so, Krysti," he replied. "I just feel a little peculiar." He
looked over Krysti for a minute. "Now tell me truthfully Krysti, do you
think that dress you're wearing would look good on me?" As he realized
what he'd asked Krysti, Marv was stunned and very confused at why he'd
asked her such an unusual question. What could possibly make him ask
her something like that?
"If you want my honest opinion, I'd have to say no," replied Krysti.
"How many times to I have to tell you, Marvin, that you just don't have
the figure or the right equipment to wear a dress like this."
What screamed his mind. But he found himself saying instead, "Maybe if
I used some makeup?"
"All the makeup in world wouldn't help make you look any better wearing
a dress like this, Marv."
A car drove by and the driver honked his horn. "How are you doing,
Krysti!" hollered several of the boys from inside.
Krysti waved back at them.
Marv was pissed.
He wondered why the boys in the car didn't ask how he was or honk their
horns at him. Then as he realized again what he was thinking, he
exclaimed, "Shit!" He quickly turned to Krysti. "You must take back
your wish, Krysti."
"Why?" asked Krysti. "You wanted us to have more things in common and
now we have everything in common. Wasn't that what you wanted. Now,
_you_ like everything _I_ like. And if _I_ don't like something, then
neither do _you_. What could be better for our relationship?"
"What relationship is that, Krysti?" he asked her. "I now look at boys
exactly the way you do. And even though I'm still physically male, I
want a boyfriend, who'll do for me, exactly what you want me to do for
you. Have you the slightest idea what some of the guys I hang with will
do when I show up wearing a dress and makeup? Or what they're liable to
do the moment I start flirting with them in an attempt to pick one of
them up? They're going to beat the crap out of me, Krysti."
"I hadn't thought about that, Marv," replied Krysti. "But maybe I can
make another wish and fix it all up again."
Marv breathed a sigh of release. "Thank you, Krysti," he said really
meaning it. "Now, here's what I ..."
But Krysti interrupted him. "I wish that no one either one of us will
ever interact with thinks it in any way odd or unusual for Marvin to
like boys or wear girls' clothes and makeup."
"That wasn't exactly the wish I had in mind, Krysti," said Marv as a
completely new and very odd set of sensations began coursing through his
body.
A breeze suddenly chilled his legs. But how was that possible, he
wondered. Looking down at his legs, Marv discovered he was wearing a
mid-thigh length denim skirt instead of the denim jeans he'd been
wearing.
As he lifted his head to speak to Krysti, he was taken aback as he felt
his hair, now a very light brown in color, swish lightly across his
shoulders, before coming to rest near the middle of his back.
When strange tinglings began focusing on and about his chest, he looked
down just in time to watch his _breasts_ blossom, first to adolescence,
then to full womanly maturity. They weren't as big as Krysti's, but
Marv knew they were more than large enough to attract the attentions of
boys. And his T-shirt now sported a plunging neckline that showed off
more of his new breasts than he would have preferred it would.
Another car drove by. And the driver also honked his horn.
"You're looking real good, Marvin, babe," yelled one of the guys.
"How would like to go with me to new dance club, Marvin," hollered
another.
"Why are two hot foxes like yourselves running around here without being
with me," screamed still another.
Krysti loved the attention.
Marvin was pissed.
Blushing brightly, Marv was very thankful that the driver of the car
hadn't stopped. Given the odd effects of Krysti's first two wishes and
his confused mental state, there was just no way of telling how his
altered body would have reacted to the proximity of several young men.
"I need to go home, Krysti," he told her. It surprised him that, in
light of all the other changes, he still had his own voice.
"Don't let guys like that get to you, Marvin," replied Krysti. "But it
certainly doesn't appear to bother any of them that you like boys and
wearing dresses."
Marvin stared at her. "It's not them, Krysti. It's me." As he turned
and ran towards home, he couldn't decide what bothered him the most -
guys making passes at him, the way his ass swayed, or the jiggling up
and down of his new breasts as he ran.
* * * * *
Nearing the Thompson's house, he suddenly realized he couldn't go home
and let his brother see him looking like this. It never occurred to him
that Steven wouldn't notice anything odd or unusual about his new
feminine appearance. But as he watched his shirtless brother cutting
the grass, Marv began wondering why he hadn't realized earlier what a
handsome hunk his little brother had become. "Oh, shit. I'm losing my
mind," he exclaimed after realizing what he'd been thinking about his
own little brother.
Unwilling to return home, he knocked on the Thompson's front door.
Alana stared at him after opening the door. "What's wrong, Marvin?" she
asked with considerable concern. "It looks like you been running from
demons. Why don't you come inside for a few minutes."
"Thank you, Alana," he replied. "Krysti should along in a few minutes.
I'll wait ..."
Marvin saw himself in the mirror.
He looked like a girl - a very pretty girl.
His hair was _not_ the light brown he'd thought. Instead, it was a
light blond. And he couldn't believe he now had sparkling blue eyes.
And he wore just the right amount of makeup to highlight his feminine
features.
And to make matters even worse, he had that 'come hither' look that
seemed so common among the sexy girls he'd known. He knew that if he'd
met this girl reflected in the mirror earlier this morning, when he'd
still liked girls the way guys were supposed to like girls, he would
have wanted her desperately. But after Krysti's wishes, she was just
another pretty face in the crowd.
He briefly raised a hand to his chest, horrified to discover that the
breasts he found there were really his.
"Are you sure you're alright, Marvin?" asked Alana. "I mean, you're
looking at your reflection as if you'd never seen yourself before. And
don't try to tell me that someone as pretty as you has never seen
himself in a mirror."
Before Marv could answer, Krysti came over and stood next to him. She
put her arm around him as if he were her sister. Strangely, this act of
comfort from her made Marv feel better.
"Let's go to my room, Marv," she said. "We really need to talk."
Still looking at his reflection, Marv slowly shook head, then let Krysti
lead him to her room. Along the way his curiosity got the better of
him. A quickly probing hand confirmed his worst suspicion. It was gone.
"You must change me back, Krysti," he told her weakly in shock from his
lost manhood. "This isn't me. I don't want to be like this." He
extended his arms, palms up, towards her. "Please, Krysti," he pleaded
with her. "I want to me again. Please change me back into me, Krysti."
Krysti listened to him intently. But for some inexplicable reason, she
decided she actually liked Marv better this way. It wasn't that she
really wanted Marv to be a girl, it was just that his being one now felt
so totally right to her. As Marv now was, being with him was like being
with the best friend she'd always wished she'd had, but had never be
able to find. From some place deep in her mind, she could almost
picture people thinking of the two of them as twins. It was an odd
stray thought that soon vanished, but no before it made Krysti realize
that she and Marvin had not been fated to be lovers. Perhaps in another
life they would, but in this one they were destined to best friends.
"C'mon, Krysti," whined Marvin. "Would you please hurry up and make
your wish. Please, Krysti, change me back into the real me."
"If that's what you want," she answered softly. "I'll change you into
the _real_ you."
Marv breathed a sighed of relief.
"I wish," began Krysti, a smile spreading across her face, "that Marvin
be completely restored to his true identity and natural form of my best
friend and identical twin sister Mysti, just as _she_ has always been to
everyone we've ever known."
"What?" he asked feeling betrayed.
But as he felt her body readjust, he felt her breasts enlarge and he
watched his light blonde hair become her flaming mane.
As his thoughts drifted and became her thoughts, he became her, just as
she had always been to all who had ever known her.
As if waking from a deep slumber, Mysti Thompson stretched her arms.
Seeing her twin sister standing nearby, she suddenly, and for no
apparent reason, smiled.
"Has anybody asked you to the opening of the new dance club next week,
Mysti?" asked Krysti, who now, per her wish, had no memories of her
sister Mysti being anyone other than her sister.
"Not yet, Krysti," replied Mysti in a voice nearly identical to her
sister's sensual tones. She swept away the stray strands of her long
red hair from her eyes. "And I don't understand it."
"Neither do I, sis," agreed Krysti. "Oh shit!" she suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" asked Mysti with concern.
"You and I had better find ourselves dates before the weekend gets here.
If we don't, then we'll probably wind up going with each other. And I
shouldn't have to remind you what that means."
"Oh, fuck," swore Mysti. "Getting hit on by Tom Campbell," she groaned.
"That's right," replied Krysti. "And we both know he'll be hitting on
one or the other or both of us all night long because that cheap
conniving fucking son of a bitch asshole thinks we're easy."
"You know, Krysti, I really believe he's the one who started and then
spread _that_ vicious rumor about us that's been circulating all over
town. The little snot thinks he's God's gift to women. And his
miniscule ego couldn't take it when both of us told him we weren't
interested and to go fuck himself."
Krysti fingered the wibitsh foot still hanging around her neck on its
golden chain. "It's too bad this thing doesn't have any real magic in
it. It would be real nice to make a wish and have Tom Campbell turned
into the slimy little slug he really is."
"It would also be a big improvement," agreed Mysti.
"And it would be a great gift to us women," laughed Krysti.
"I've got an even better suggestion, Krysti. We could use it to wi
