"SWEET REVENGE" by: Jacki Pett The big house was dark. There wasn't a light on anywhere. "God damn him!" Sheri said angrily, stomping her foot. "I knew this was a bad idea." Amy could feel her cheeks getting red as she turned from the dark house and started back to her car. "I knew we shouldn't have believed them. The Bastards!" This was the second time they were taken in by them. The football game was the first. Amy and Sheri showed up, all excited about their date, only to find Craig and Jack were already there with their arms around other girls. It was so humiliating. They just turned and walked out without saying a word. The guys apologized later, explaining that they got mixed up and thought they told the girls to meet them at the game the next week. The really embarrassing thing was they believed them. "How could I be so stupid?" Amy beat herself up on the way back to Sheri's house. "You? I'm the one who spent eighty dollars on this dress." Sheri wished at that moment she could slap Craig's face. "What are you two doing home so early?" Beth asked her sister and her friend as they walked in the door. She was curled up on the couch with her boyfriend, Kevin. "They did it to us again." Sheri told her sister, angrily. "They stood you up?" "There was no party! There wasn't even anyone home at the address they gave us!" Amy explained "Those little shits!" Beth remarked. "We've got to get them back." Sheri fumed. "How?" Amy asked, frustrated. "You really do." Beth agreed. "You've got to find a way to humiliate them so badly that they'll never think of pulling shit like this again." "But how?" Amy repeated. "Let me think about it for a while. We'll come up with something." Beth assured them. "What's the story?" Kevin asked when the girls went upstairs. "Oh, there's these two guys at school that were harassing Amy, Sheri and their friends. You know, the campus hot shots who think they're God's gift." Kevin knew the type. "Jocks!" "Not really. I've seen them around and they're nothing special. This one is kind of puny with a real baby face, that's Craig. Then there's the other one, Jack. He's sort of alright. Amy and Sheri think they're hot because they're so popular. They've just got great lines, that's all." "So what's going on?" "From what Sheri tells me, they came up to them one afternoon and asked them to a football game. The deal was they'd meet them at the game but when Amy and Sheri showed up, the guys were with two other girls, a couple of the campus sweethearts. I guess the guys had a good laugh about it. Sheri came home crying." Sheri and Amy were members of the vast majority of girls that didn't fall into the popular minority. They were not 'campus sweethearts', who had every boy lusting after them. A few extra pounds, a plain face or maybe just dressing to please only themselves. A girl's personality doesn't matter to guys like Craig and Jack, only looks. "So why'd they agree to go out with them again?" "Like I said, they've got the gift. They apologized, said it was all a misunderstanding and wanted to make it up to them. Sheri and Amy were dumb enough to fall for it." Now Kevin understood. "So what do you plan on doing to these guys?" "I'm not really sure yet. What do you think would really humiliate these guys?" Beth wanted a guy's opinion. "I don't know?" Kevin thought a moment. "You could set them up the way they set up your sister and her friend." "They'd never fall for that." She knew better. "Have a couple of their popular friends do it for them." He suggested. The idea had some merit but, "They'd only just make up a story and tell their friends they had a great time." That's what Kevin would do. "Yea, you're right." "It's got to be something that we can prove happened. You know, like, get it on film or something." "You might as well get video." Kevin remarked. "But what? What could we do that would really humiliate them?" Kevin was getting bored with the whole idea. "You and Christy ought to be able to come up with something." Christy was Beth's best friend and roommate. Even though Beth lived in the same town as the college, she lived in the dorms. She and Christy had been roommates for four years, since she was a freshman. Kevin was right, Beth decided. Christy had a really devious mind for things like this. Beth wasn't without imagination either. She was staring thoughtfully at the TV, not really paying attention when a thought occured to her. With a wicked little grin on her face, she said to Kevin, "I think I have an idea of my own." Beth and Christy, with Sheri's help, found out one of the boy's classes and on Monday, they went to get a good look at them. Christy thought Beth's idea was fantastic. She was really excited and didn't mind at all, the part she would need to play in the plan Beth was hatching. Monday night, they shared the idea with Sheri and Amy. "You think you can get them to do that?" Amy asked doubtfully. Christy was very smug about it. "Sweetie, I could get those boys to jump off a cliff if I asked them to." Christy, like Beth, was not only beautiful, she had style and class. Both men and boys found them irresistible. They were sure they'd have no problem. Sheri had no doubt. When they were growing up, her older sister was always getting boys to jump through hoops for her. "They can do it." Sheri said to Amy with an impish smile. Although they were sisters, there was no resentment in the fact that Beth got all the beauty in the family while she got all the brains. They had always gotten along well as they were growing up. "We'll get them ready but you two will have to take care of the pictures and the video camera." Beth told them. "And you have to find a way to do it without them knowing." "We'll take care of that." Sheri assured her sister. She already knew what to do. "This is going to be perfect." Amy said, excited. "Mom and Dad aren't going to be back from San Francisco till next Monday. Do you think that's enough time to get ready?" Sheri asked. "It'll be enough." Beth was sure. "We have a lot to do between now and Friday night so you two better start getting together everything we'll need." "We'll be ready." Amy assured them. "Tomorrow, we'll go to work on our new 'boyfriends'." Beth said as she and Christy smiled at each other. They wasted no time. The boys were together when they left their psychology class the following afternoon. Beth and Christy introduced themselves with come on smiles. From there on it was easy. They made a point of running into them for the next couple of days. Wednesday, they let the boys buy them lunch. The guys wanted to go off campus. The girls knew why. They didn't want to get caught by their girlfriends. The guys suspected nothing. Thursday, Beth and Christy asked them if they'd like to go to a sorority party and they accepted. They waited till the girls had gone. "Yes!" Jack yelled. "Man, we're gonna get laid." Craig, exuberant, was quite sure of himself. "They are so hot!" Jack couldn't believe their good fortune. "And they're seniors. We've graduated my friend." They gave each other the high five. Craig and Jack normally only hit on the younger girls. They were easy. Girls like older guys and they knew just how to work them. Now they had to make plans. After the party, they had to come up with someplace to take them to have a little privacy. The dorm was no good and they already knew that the girls lived in the girl's dorm. Not that they hadn't gotten some there already but it was during the day when guys could come and go. After seven at night, guys were only allowed down in the public room. After nine, guys were out. "What about Pete's?" Pete was the only one of their friends that lived in town. "His parents are always home. That won't work." "Well, come up with something!" Craig was annoyed that it was always up to him. "I may not have to come up with anything." Jack remarked. "Did you forget that we're supposed to take Barbara and Karen to the game Friday night?" He had, in his excitement. "Oh shit. You're right." Craig thought for a moment. "I'll think of something. I'm sure not going to pass up the chance to bag Beth." Jack laughed. "I'm with you. Christy wants me so bad. I'm not going to disappoint her." He said smugly. "Let's go tell the guys. I can't wait to rub it in. Those pore slobs wouldn't stand a chance of making it with seniors. I can't wait to tell them." They had, in fact, been telling their friends all week about the two gorgeous seniors that were hot for them. The truth was, once you laid one, it opened the door for others. Once the word got out among the senior girls that you're dating some of their classmates, the others take a second look. That's all it would take. Craig and Jack were sure of it. Beth called Sheri each night to check on her sister's and Amy's progress. By Thursday night they had almost everything ready. It was a good thing their mother and father were gone so much. They'd hit the roof if they saw the hole Sheri cut in the bedroom wall. It didn't look so bad from the bedroom side, with the one way mirror covering it, but she left the rough edges of the hole just the way it was in the spare bedroom. From there, behind the mirror, they were going to be easily able to photograph everything that happened on the other side of the wall. Friday afternoon found Craig and Jack pretty excited. That morning Beth gave Craig directions to her house where she and Christy would be waiting for them. "Why don't you come over early, say around four, and we can have a little time together before we have to head out?" Beth told him. That was fine with him. He was surprised to learn that her family lived right there in town. The guys had a little trouble finding a decent place to take the girls after the party. If they could go back to Beth's after, that'd be great. They were on time. At precisely four o'clock they were on Beth's porch, ringing her doorbell. Jack had to borrow a sport coat. Craig had one buried in the back of his closet. It was Craig's idea that they wear them, to impress the girls. They had rehearsed just how to react. There was a look of surprise on the girls' faces as they opened the front door. "Where are your costumes?" The guys looked at each other then back to the girls, "What costumes?" There'd been no mention of costumes. The girls weren't wearing any. "We told you! It's a sorority Halloween party." Christy insisted as she took Jack's hand and led him into the living room. Beth did the same with Craig. "You didn't . . . " Craig started to say. He still didn't remember them saying anything about it. "Remember, on Thursday, I said it was a sorority Halloween party?" Halloween wasn't for another week. "We forgot?" Craig said, feeling really foolish. Jack remarked, "Where's yours?" The question was anticipated. The girls weren't wearing only sexy skin tight leggings and tops by chance. "We thought we'd have a little fun before we got ready." Christy suggested with a smile. "Do either of you smoke?" Beth asked, opening the small wooden box on the coffee table in front of them. She pulled out a joint. She made sure the boys could see that there were several others in the ornate little cigarette box. "Sure." Both Craig and Jack said in unison. They were both thinking the same thing. The girls already seemed eager. A little pot would make them even more willing, more pliable. They were all for it. "We're already a little high." Beth said, implying they'd smoked a few already, they hadn't. The pot was for them, not her and Christy. It would help to reduce their inhibitions. It was all part of the plan. The girls kept encouraging them on. By the time a half hour had passed, they had smoked three of the joints. Beth and Christy pretended to smoke a little but really only took a puff or two. It was evident by the way they talked and acted, that the boys were really high. It was agonizing not to be able to see what was happening, being only able to listen from the head of the stairs. Sheri and Amy were so afraid that their plan wouldn't work. That the guys wouldn't go along with the next step. They decided they were ready. Christy made the suggestion, "We really need to figure out some kind of costumes for you two." "Yea." Craig agreed. "I know what we could do!" Beth announced, as if she had a brainstorm of an idea. "What?" Jack asked, looking kind of spacey. "Come on upstairs. I'll show you." Beth said, getting up and taking Craig by the hand to help him up from the couch. Christy and Jack followed them upstairs. They led them to the bedroom. "What's the deal?" Christy asked, pretending she had no idea. "I know the perfect thing. It'll be great. Wait here." Beth left the room. Craig and Jack plopped down on the edge of the bed. They felt a little disoriented, unsure on their feet. Beth grabbed the wigs from the store room. "You both ready?" She asked Sheri and Amy as they stood there holding the camera and video recorder. "We're ready. Good luck!" Sheri crossed her fingers. Beth didn't give him time to think. She walked in, went right up to Craig and slipped the wig on his head. It didn't fit very well, with his full head of thick hair. Craig wore it fairly long. She would have to do something with it later. "What's this for?" He asked, reaching up to pull it off. "Just leave it." She told him. She turned to Christy and, with a big grin, asked, "What do you think." "Fantastic." Christy stared at him adoringly. Looking excited, she said, "That'll work." Then she looked to Jack and back to her friend. "Have you got another one?" "My mom does." She said happily. Both wigs actually came from friends of Sheri's. The guys were catching on. "I don't think . . . " Jack started to object. He didn't want to dress up like a girl. Craig had already pulled off the wig and put it on the bed beside him. Christy didn't let him finish. She went up to him and knelt on the floor in front of him. "Oh, this will be perfect." She rested one hand on his leg, the other stroked his cheek. "I'll be so much fun. You'll do this for me, won't you?" She used her most sensual voice. "We'll never get away with it." Craig spoke up, sounding very unsure of himself and more than a little scared. Beth went over and sat on the bed next to him. "Sure you can. Trust us. It'll be a blast." She used the same tact on him that Christy used. He didn't have the will to resist. "I guess . . . " Beth sprung from the bed. "Great. We've got a bunch to do to make you look convincing." Christy kissed Jack on the cheek. "You're going to look fantastic. Just wait till you see." Jack really didn't want to do this but Craig seemed as if he was going to go along with them. If they didn't, would the girls get pissed? They might not get laid tonight. "Ok, first things first." Christy said standing up and looking down at the boys sitting there. "Get your clothes off and let's get a look." Stripping for the two girls didn't bother them a bit. In a moment they were standing there in just their underwear and socks. "Their legs?" Beth said, thoughtfully, to Christy. "Yea, it's got to go." She agreed. Both the boys had hairy legs. "What?" Jack said. "We've gotta get rid of that hair." "Shave?" Craig said with surprise. "Sort of! I'll get the lotion." Beth said. In the bathroom she found the two large bottles of delapatory that Amy bought for tonight. They had the boys spread it on generously. Fortunately, neither boy had a hairy chest. Jack's arms were a little too hairy so they had him use the lotion on them too. He objected at first. "Do I have to?" "Come on sweetie." Christy said, stroking his bare back. "It'll grow back." His legs were already hairless. Having his arms look the same wasn't nearly as obvious. He agreed, reluctantly. Beth stroked Craig's cheek. "You have really nice skin." He had a really clear complexion for a guy and she felt no stubble. He wouldn't admit that he hadn't shaved for two days. It was embarrassing that he couldn't grow a beard. As far as his friends knew, he shaved every day. Christy took Jack to the bathroom where they had razors ready and waiting for the two guys, if they needed them. Beth was anxious to get started on Craig. She took advantage of Jack being out of the room. From a dresser drawer, she took the underwear they had placed there earlier. She handed him the bra and panties. "I can't wear these." He held the pretty lace underwear at arms length. She knew this was going to be difficult. "Sure you can. It's all part of your costume." Beth moved closer to him, using the same 'come on' tone she had a few minutes ago. "This is kind of a turn on. Just try them on, for me?" He really wanted her. She smelled so great. If doing this would get him laid? Then he thought about Jack coming back and seeing him. "What about Jack?" "I've got some for him too." Beth assured him. They figured, once they got one of them to wear the sexy underwear, the other wouldn't object so strongly. They would play one against the other. Craig was obviously the easier to manipulate. "I'll give you a minute to slip them on." Beth stepped out in the hall and closed the door. Craig just stood there a minute, debating. Amy was poised, ready to start shooting. Sheri had her camera running. They made sure to wait till he was alone. He had to be alone in the pictures. It had to look like he was doing this on his own. He thought about what Beth had said about it turning her on. Feeling very strange, he pulled down his underwear and took off his socks. He found the front of the lacy underwear and stepped into it, pulling it up. The bulge in front looked terrible. Craig tucked himself between his legs and that looked better. Next he struggled with the bra. It was difficult to get the hooks in back but he managed. Sheri and Amy looked at each other and smiled. It was sort of ironic to see Craig standing there in Sheri's own underwear. The panties Jack would wear were a pair of Amy's. Later, when they reviled themselves to the guys, it would be fun to let them know that the pretty panties they wore belonged to the girls they had humiliated. Beth got the signal from the girls that he had the things on. She went back in before he had a chance to change his mind. "Oh, you look great." She said with a big smile. He looked so silly. "I don't know . . . " He was really uncomfortable and he felt like a fool. "No, really. You look fine." "You look so sweet." Jack said joking as he walked in and saw him. "Don't you tease him." Christy said to Jack, chastising him jokingly as she stroked his shoulder. Beth was ready. She retrieved the underwear they had for him and handed it to Christy. "Here's some for Jack." It took a little convincing on Christy's part but she won out. The two girls left the room while Jack changed. Craig showed him how to look more natural by tucking himself between his legs. The two guys couldn't help but tease each other a little when they were alone. As long as no one could see, it was all right to prance around the room, swishing from side to side, over exaggerating the way girls walk. Neither one was going to tell on the other. That was for certain. "What's this?" Craig asked as Jack lifted his arm to slip on the bra. Craig pointed to his hairless armpit. "Christy said it looked tacky. She pleaded with me to shave." She really only had to coax him a little, but Jack wouldn't admit it. Craig raised his arm and looked at his underarm hair. He only had a little but if they thought Jack had to do it . . . ? "I guess I better too." They looked so ridiculous, standing there in panties and bras, talking about shaving their armpits. The girls didn't miss a thing and the hidden microphone got every word on tape. When Beth and Christy came back, Craig asked if he should shave his armpits too? "I think it would be a good idea." Beth agreed. It was all they could do to keep from laughing. Beth took him to the bathroom. "We have to find something to stuff that with." Christy said, pulling at the empty material of his bra. Sheri and Amy spent way too much on the bras. The problem was, you don't find underwear in second hand stores. Setting this whole thing up had cost Amy and Sheri a lot more than Christy thought it was worth. Sheri and Amy had spent a lot of time trying to find the best thing to use to fill out the bras. Everything they came up with looked so phony. Finally, they dug deep into their wallets and bought the boys breast forms. It would be worth it, they decided, if their plan worked. Christy pulled a pair of white cotton socks out of the drawer. "Let's try these." She suggested. She helped Jack stuff them in his cups. "I don't know. I really don't like the way that looks. They look terrible." Craig and Beth were back. Craig showed Jack his smooth armpits, feeling very satisfied that they were as smooth as his friend's. "Beth, have you got something better we could use, besides socks?" Christy asked. It was all part of the plan. "Oh, definitely. Come with me to my Mom's room. She's got the perfect thing." The girls left them again, so the others could get some more shots of the two of them alone. They went directly to the store room and stood behind Sheri and Amy, watching their antics. It was really hard to keep quiet and not give themselves away. It was so hilarious to watch. Craig poked at Jack's 'tits', making fun. "Just wait till you have yours, you nasty boy." Jack said joking. "Oh, my dear. You have the prettiest tits!" Craig joked back. The pictures were going to be precious and they were so glad they thought to use the video camera. It was going even better than they imagined. They gave them a few minutes to horse around before they went back in. "Here, this will work much better." Christy carried the four jelled mastectomy breast forms carefully. She couldn't let them touch each other or they wouldn't be able to get them apart. The adhesive they'd spread on them was very strong. "What are they?" Craig asked as Beth unhooked Craig's bra and, taking one of the breastforms, pressed it securely in place over his tiny nipple. There was no adjusting it once it was in place so she was very careful to place it just right. "They're just breast forms." She made no big deal of it. Christy pressed the other in place as Christy did the same to Jack. "They've got a little sticky on them, so they don't slip around." She explained as she adjusted his bra straps and hooked it in back. "That's much better." Christy said as she stepped back and took a good look. They looked much more natural that the socks ever could. They were ready if the boys asked where they came from and why Beth's mother would have something like these. But they didn't think to ask. "That's perfect." Beth told Craig, with a satisfied smile. She watched him look down at his chest and his expression was priceless. He looked so forlorn. Better not to give them time to think about it. Christy had picked up the other wig they'd gotten. "Here, Jack, let me try this on you." She sat him down in the chair. Standing behind him, she fitted it on him. His short hair was not a problem. Now Beth took some bobby pins and pulled Craig's hair back and fixed it into a tight bun on the back of his head. As she ran her fingers through his thick, curly hair it occurred to her that it was too bad she didn't have more time with him. His hair had possibilities. She didn't let him look around to the mirror when he tried, "Just hold still till I'm done." She told him, holding his chin. She quickly put on the wig. Craig's wig was styled in a long shag. It was light brown and almost matched his own hair. He looked adorable with it on. Craig had such a sweet face, it was easy to understand why he got away with a lot of the stuff with girls that he did. It was sort of a baby face. His features were soft and with the wig on, framing his face, he looked rather convincing. Beth was thrilled. Jack wasn't going to be so easy. His features were a little bigger and sharper. It was going to take a bit of makeup to make him look at all convincing. "Let me get a brush and see what I can do with this." Beth said with tongue in cheek. She brushed and teased for a few minutes, until she was satisfied. "Stand up and let me have a look at you." She told him. He felt so weird, standing there in girls underwear with those bouncing bags of jello on his chest and the wig that tickled his bare shoulders when he moved his head. "Just stand still." Beth told him as he squirmed. She gave the wig a tug here and there, to straighten it. "You look fantastic." "I do?" He asked, very unsure of himself. "Go look in the mirror. You look great." He did. He needed more work but he looked pretty good already. Craig went over to the mirror on the wall for a better look. He turned his head this way and that and tried smiling different ways. Finally he agreed, "I do, don't I?" Sheri and Amy had all they could do, not to crack up. The boy was only inches away, looking directly into the cameras and smiling. They loved it. Christy was finishing up with Jack's wig. It was straighter, with longer bangs than Craig's. It was also a little darker than his own brown hair but it was the best they could do, short of getting a sample of his hair and having a wig died to match. They did pretty well as it was, just finding them the wigs. With his back to the girls, standing in front of the mirror, he adjusted himself. It wasn't easy to keep his dick tucked between his legs with only the soft material to hold it there. They couldn't believe the shot they got of it. It would definitely be one of the best. "Come on guys. We need to get a move on or we're gonna be late." Beth told them. They were thrilled the guys were starting to get into the spirit. Christy had gone to get their purses. They had stuffed them with every conceivable item of makeup they could imagine they'd need. "You're right, they're just too bushy." Beth agreed as the girls looked down at the boys in the chairs. "What?" Jack asked for both of them. "Your eyebrows." She said, shaking her head. "I'm afraid they'll give you away." "You may be right." Beth said, taking a better look at them. "We better trim them a little." She was careful not to say 'pluck'. "Do you have to?" Craig asked, more than a little scared and nervous. It was one thing to shave your arm and legs. Long sleeve shirts and pants would hide that till they grew back, but his eyebrows? "We'll just do a little." Beth said with a reassuring smile. "Just enough so that they look convincing." Christy assured Jack. The guys looked at each other with doubt. Neither of the girls expected this fuss. "You don't want people to look at you and wonder, do you?" Of course they didn't but they just needed to be reminded. "Not too much?" Craig asked like a scared little boy. Jack echoed his concern. "Promise." Christy said for both of them. The girls went to work with their little scissors and tweezers's. They looked at each other when the girls finished. They could tell by the expression on each other's faces that the girls had done much more than they thought they would. What could they say now, with the girls looking so thrilled with what they'd done? They didn't want to sound unappreciative. After all, they just wanted them to get away with the charade. Beth, from where she knelt in front of Craig, reached up and ran a finger lightly over his eyebrows. Smiling and quite satisfied with how he looked, she said, "You're going to be fantastic. This is so great. You're going to be beautiful." She kissed him on the cheek. He was really shaping up. Even better than she thought he would. "Why don't you guys check it out?" She pointed to the mirror on the wall. She and Christy were careful, as always, to stand out of the way of the field of the camera. The boys were appalled at how they looked but they couldn't say anything. "Great." Craig said to appease the girls. He smiled when he turned back to them. What were they going to do about how they looked, tomorrow? "I knew you'd love it." Christy told them, more excited than ever. "Let's get some makeup on you." Beth said to Craig, urging him to sit back down. She dug her things out of her purse and went to work on him again. Christy was already smoothing Jack's complexion with foundation. Mascara was the finishing touch. Craig already had beautiful long lashes. With the mascara to accent and lengthen them even more, he looked absolutely adorable. Christy was still working on Jack when Beth got up to go get the outfits Sheri and Amy found for them. "I'll be back in a couple of minutes." She told Christy. "I've got to see what I can find for them to wear tonight." Craig got up, looking over at Jack who looked so uncomfortable as Christy worked diligently on his face. He wanted to see what Beth had done to him. He was amazed at the face that looked back at him from the mirror. Craig looked so much like a girl that it was frightening. He turned his head this way and that and from every angle he looked so uncomfortably pretty. "It's unbelievable." Sheri whispered to Amy. "He looks fantastic." "I can't wait to get these pictures developed." Amy agreed. Beth took off his wig and laid it aside. "Here Craig, put these on." She handed him the pantyhose. It wasn't like he was anxious to put them on. Craig sat on the edge of the bed and started to try and put a foot into them. Beth laughed. "No, not like that." She showed him how to gather them to the toe and then put his foot in and pull the sheer material over his foot, being careful not to put a pull in them. They seemed really tight to him as he smoothed them up his legs as he sat there. The sensation was really strange as the silky sheer material covered his smooth legs. Something about it was actually exciting. He finally got them up to his waist. "Lovely." Beth said, thoughtfully, as she stroked his pretty smooth leg through the sheer nylons. It was only to encourage him. It was actually a creepy feeling to touch him. Her touch made him feel better. It also made him feel something else. He was glad now to be wearing the panty hose. The silky panties would never have held back the erection he was starting to get. He fought back the feeling building inside him. It would be too embarrassing to let her see that, the way he looked now. Christy finally finished with Jack. She did all she could with his face and it would have to do. He wasn't nearly as convincing as Craig. She wished she had picked Craig instead of Beth. Oh well, she thought to herself. Jack's pantyhose were really tight. They could have gotten him a larger size, they realized as he squeezed himself into them. His legs, for a guy, were fine. But as a girl, he looked a little chunky. Craig, on the other hand, looked pretty good. He had slender legs that looked shapely now, in his control top pantyhose. "We'll be right back." Beth told the guys, picking up both their wigs from the bed. "I've got to see if I can find some longer bobby pins to use to hold these so they don't slip. Just relax for a minute." That wasn't all they had to do. Christy had found the adhesive that she carefully applied to the inside edges of the net of the wigs. "It's supposed to last for days and the woman said it won't irritate the skin." She had explained to the others. They didn't want the guys to be able to get them off easily. Later, when they discovered the predicament they were in, they might try to get out of their disguises. They weren't about to make it easy for them. They looked at each other and smiled. Craig put one hand on his hip and the on his chin. "Oh, Barbara. You look just charming today." He told Jack, trying to imitate a female's voice. Jack laughed. "And I just love your hair Karen." He used Craig's girlfriend's name, as Craig used his. "I think you need to go on a diet Barbara." Craig knew he looked better than his friend and he didn't mind teasing him about it. Jack thought quickly. "Well, my dear. There's just more of me to love." The guys kidded around for a few minutes until they heard the girls coming back. The four of them had a lot of discussion about how they should dress them up. Sheri and Amy would have loved to put them into something sexy but Beth and Christy convinced them that probably wasn't wise. It would have been one thing if they were really skinny but they weren't. Granted, Beth was having second thoughts about Craig, now that she'd gotten a better look at him, but it was too late now. They agreed on more conservative dresses. Nothing too flashy. Nothing that would draw too much attention to them. Sheri found Craig the prettiest little white and blue dress in one of the consignment shops. It had a wide white lace collar with a jewel neckline and half sleeves. The bodice was fitted and it really fit him well. His chest was smaller than most guys. The skirt was fitted but not too body hugging. The blue skirt came to only a few inches about the knee. It was suitable for a party or church or a variety of occasions. Amy had a tougher time finding Jack a dress. He was harder to fit. She ended up buying a dress off the rack. It wasn't as pretty as Craig's but he was going to look adorable in it. She didn't dare buy him anything fitted, like Craig's. Jack hardly had a waistline. Still, she was pleased with the beige and black print. "We got lucky. My Mom had one and I found another in my little sister's closet." Beth told them. Craig was sure that he got the little sister's. It did help a little that he wouldn't be wearing an old ladies dress. Funny, the rational at a moment like this, he thought to himself. "Slips first." Christy told them. She handed one to Beth. The girls helped them slip into them. "Now your outfits. Then we'll fix your hair again." She was careful not to call them dresses, although that's what they were. Beth had no trouble getting Craig into his. It fit him beautifully. He did complain a little. "I can't wear this." He insisted, standing there feeling very foolish. "Of course you can. You look wonderful." He did look awfully pretty. "Now sit down so I can get your wig on you." She turned to Christy who was buttoning up the back of Jack's dress for him. "Isn't this great? Aren't you kind of turned on by the way they look?" She pretended she was. Christy went along with it. "Yea, I don't know what it is but it's exciting somehow." She sat Jack down. She didn't have to stand so close as she carefully fitted the wig over his head. She put her chest right in his face. "You feel it too?" She asked Jack. He felt it at the moment. He could almost taste her delicious flesh. Jack put a hand on the back of her leg as she pulled and tugged the wig in place. He wasn't really paying attention as he stroked her soft skin. Christy figured she had to expect a little of that. It didn't bother her. As long as the hand didn't wander too high. It was hard to get it in place before securing it with the glue. One slip and it would be on crooked, permanently. Well, at least for the next several days. She laughed to herself when she imagined him trying to get it off and it not budging. He was sure to panic. The two girls stood back to look at their efforts. The boys stood up and turned around at their request. "They need shoes." Christy stated. "I know that." She replied, as if Christy stated the obvious. She only pretended to be annoyed with her friend. "No, there's something else." She studied them for a few seconds before she asked, "Craig, let me see your hands." It was his fingernails that she paid most attention to. Then she took Jack's hand in hers and did the same. Christy laughed inside. They planned all along on putting false nails on them. They had them next door, waiting. Christy looked up at the boys. "We really need to give you some fingernails. No self respecting girl would go out with nails like those." The both looked at their hands and wondered what they'd look like with long nails. After everything else, why not. "What the hell." Craig said, looking up with a smile. Craig was so easy. Beth thought he was precious. It was quite a while since they smoked. Christy went down stairs and got a couple more joints. It was going to take a few minutes to glue on their new nails and put on polish. They might as well let them mellow out again. Amy and Sheri were glad for the opportunity to relax for a few minutes. Amy had gone through three rolls of film and was half way through her fourth. Beth was on her second video cassette. She didn't miss a moment of it. Later, she would edit the film, taking out the parts they didn't want. Finally, they finished. Both boys had nicely manicured nails. Craig's fingers were nice and slender and his hand didn't look as if he ever did any hard work. Jack's didn't look as good. He had much larger hands than friend's. "I think they're dry enough now." Beth said, getting up from the little table she'd set up for them to do their nail on. "I better see what I can find you for shoes." Christy stayed. "I can't get over how convincing you two look." She told them as she stepped out of camera range. Beth didn't hurry back. "What do you think?" She asked her sister and Amy. "I can't believe we're getting away with it. They look fantastic." Amy was careful to whisper. "Craig looks so convincing. He's actually pretty." Ironic, she thought to herself. "Just wait till we get them to the dorm. It's going to be great." Beth couldn't wait to show them to their friends. She and Christy had told several of them what they were going to do and they were dying to see how the boys came out. Christy gave the boys a few pointers. She had them practice sitting and standing. "You don't want to give yourselves away by not looking like you know how to act." She said, trying to help. Neither of them argued with that. They did exactly what she told them to. They were both sitting there with their hands in their laps when Beth came back in. Beth handed Craig the white shoes and Jack, the black. They could only hope they had guessed correctly on their sizes. Craig thought the pumps were too tight in the toes. Beth laughed at that. She bent down and checked the fit herself. "They're fine. They're bound to feel a little tight at first but you'll get used to them quickly." Christy checked Jack's. His seemed a little wide for his foot but they were perfect in the toe. He'd manage. They were almost ready to go. Beth went up to Craig. "Pull your hair back for a minute." He did as she asked and she put on the clip earrings they found for them. She handed Christy the other pair to put on Jack. "They hurt." Craig complained. "They won't in a minute or two. You won't even notice they're there." She took his arm. "Hold your hand out for me." She had a bracelet for him. Beth knew he'd never get the small clasp hooked with his new nails. The necklace Beth put around his neck matched. The set was a very feminine gold link and the necklace had a small pendant. Jack's were tiny white pearls and they looked perfect with his dress. Christy was disappointed that the ring they got for Jack wouldn't fit. His fingers were too big. They had guessed wrong. So they put one ring on each of Craig's hands. They fit him easily but weren't so loose that they'd fall off. "Now the final touches." Beth put on Craig's lipstick and Christy, of course, did Jack's. Like the rest of their makeup, it wasn't too garish. They didn't want them to look like painted whores. The decorative perfume bottles were standing on the dresser. Each of the girls took one. Beth sprayed a little on Craig's wrist. "Isn't that pretty?" It was a fragrance she loved. He sniffed it. The smell was so feminine it was disturbing. "Maybe I should just skip this part?" "Oh, I thought you'd like this. It's really delicate and I just love it. Please wear it, for me?" She asked with a pretty pout. "All right." He agreed. He didn't want to hurt her feelings. God, she was beautiful. "Ok, lets get going." Beth suggested. "It's almost seven and we want to get to the party before eight thirty." That was their signal to get going. Amy had the film, to drop off to get developed. She also had the Polaroids she had taken, in her purse. They were to drop off the film and meet them at the dorm. If they hurried, they could hide and get a few shots of them coming out of the building. Now the boys were really nervous. It wasn't going to be easy leaving the house, looking the way they did. Just walking in the heels was difficult enough. "Can't we practice a little before we go?" Craig asked. "There isn't time. We have to change and our stuff is back at the dorm. We really need to hurry." "The Dorm!" Jack blurted out. "Well we decided it might be a better idea if we didn't dress up tonight, considering how you two are dressed. We thought it might be less obvious for you if we just wore dresses too. That way you wouldn't feel so conspicuous." The pretended they were doing them a favor. They couldn't argue with their logic. It made sense. "But why do we have to go to the dorm with you? Can't we just wait here?" Jack suggested. "Well, you could, but my Mother and Father and my little sister are going to be home in little while and I don't think you would want them to walk in and find you here. Besides, I don't have anything here to wear and all Christy's clothes are back in our room, at school." "We'll go with you." Craig agreed. He assumed they'd just wait in the car. They didn't remember until they were down stairs. Navigating the steps in heels was not easy and it took some concentration. "What about our clothes?" Craig asked. "We'll leave them here and get them later." Beth told them. "I thought we'd come back here after the party, so you can change and we can have a little time alone." She led them on. "What about your parents and your sister?" Jack didn't forget they were supposed to be home soon. "They're going over to the neighbor's tonight to play bridge. They won't be home till really late. They won't be a problem." Their thoughts went back to getting laid. After all they let them do to them, the boys were sure they were going to get what they came for. Christy was the one who pretended to remember what they appeared to forget. "Purses!" The guys turned to look at her, surprised by her outburst. "God, I can't believe I forgot." Beth exclaimed. "I'll find us a couple. I'll be right down." That's when the boys realized their wallets, their money was still upstairs in their pants, on the bed. They asked Beth to get them for them. Beth was already at the top of the stairs. "Ok." She did get their wallets but she took out their money and put it in her purse. If they had money then they had a way to get away from Sheri and Amy later. She wasn't about to give them that advantage. She grabbed the purses the girls had gotten for them and quickly dumped the makeup they used on them into each. They might need to freshen up later. The thought was amusing. Christy showed them how to carry them. Jack's had handles so he wore it on his arm. Craig's was a shoulder bag that he slung on his shoulder. Both of them looked adorable. They didn't give them a chance to check the contents of the purses, beyond confirming that their wallets were there. Beth opened the front door for them. They were really scared about going outside. The girls acted as if there was nothing to be afraid of. "I think I better drive tonight. It takes a little getting used to, driving in heels." She explained. Given how awkward it was just walking, neither could imagine driving. "That's fine." Craig agreed. It was his car that they came in. The sun was setting but it was still fairly nice out. The weather had begun to change but today was warmer than it had been for the past week. There was something really weird about being outside, dressed this way. Feeling the air waft up under their dresses, through their sheer pantyhose, was a strange sensation. They both felt somehow naked, so vulnerable. It wasn't a long walk around the house and up the driveway. The boys looked around nervously, to see if there was anyone about, watching them. There was only a couple of kids a few houses away. They looked up when the four of them came out of the house but didn't pay any particular attention to them. It was definitely a relief to climb into the car. Beth insisted that Craig sit up front, with her. Jack slid in the back beside Christy. Jack hugged his door. It wouldn't look right for two girls to be sitting beside each other too close. Christy had fun on the way to the doom, about a fifteen minute ride. She playfully came on to Jack. Stroking his bare smooth arm, touching his thigh through his dress. It rode up his leg when he sat. It was more scary for Jack than exciting. He didn't want her to do these things to him, not there, not now. What if someone saw her? What if someone realized what he really was. "Please don't." He asked. Seeing him so skittish, so nervous, was great. It only encouraged her to do more. "You know, we did forget one thing." She said, turning to Craig briefly as she turned a corner. He was on pins and needles, praying that they wouldn't get a light and have to stop. Praying that if they did, no car would pull up beside them. Hoping that if one did, no one in the other car would look over his way. "What?" He was obviously tense. So was Jack. She'd been watching Christy playing with him in the rear view mirror. "You two need to relax a little. If you keep this up, you're sure to give yourselves away. Christy, leave poor Jack alone. If I can wait till later, so can you." She kept up the pretense that there'd be love making later that evening. "What'd we forget?" Craig asked in a small voice. They were getting closer to the dorm. She heard the fear in his voice again. She almost felt a little sorry for him. Perhaps it was because he looked so convincing. Maybe it was the fact that the bravado he'd exhibited when they first met earlier in the week was replaced now with nervous, fearful anticipation. He certainly wasn't the pushy, arrogant stud he'd pretended to be. Now all she saw was a scared little girl. He was charming. Beth remembered what she was going to say, "Your names. You need new names." She turned to look at Craig again. "What do you think of Cathy?" She always loved that name for a girl. "Fine, ok?" That name had particular significance for Craig. It didn't matter to him what she called him in front of her friends. All he dared think of now was afterwards. He concentrated on what they might do when they got back to her house. "What about you sweet thing?" Christy asked, stroking the inside of Jack's thigh. He took her hand and pushed it away. "Stop that!" Christy just laughed. "I'm going to call you Mabel." She announced playfully. "That's a stupid name." That was a nerd's name. Craig had playfully called him by his girlfriend's name, back in the bedroom. "My name'll be Barbara." "Guys, there's one other little thing." Beth said, watching the road. "What?" Jack snapped. Beth let it go. Jack, she didn't like. He would get his soon enough, in spades. "The way you talk. Do you think you can change your voices a little? You know, talk a little higher maybe. You've got kind of deep voices." Both of them could, of course. They'd done it in the bedroom when they teased each other, when they thought they were alone. Craig was anxious to know if Beth thought his feminine voice would let him get away with this game. He tried really hard to keep his tone level and calm. "How's this? 'I think it's really sweet of you and Christy to invite Barbara and I to go to the party with you Beth.'" Beth couldn't help but to take her eyes from the rood for a minute and stare at him. He was precious. It wasn't just how he said it but what he said. "That was perfect . . . Cathy. You did beautifully. Just talk like that tonight and no one will ever guess your secret." "Now you try Barbara." Christy said, excited. Craig did wonderfully. She was impressed. He felt funny, pretending. He didn't know what to say. "Go ahead Barb. Give it a try. Don't be nervous." Beth encouraged him. He thought back to them teasing each other earlier. "Cathy, I just love what you've done with your hair tonight. And that dress. You must tell me where you found it." "That was great. Perfect." Not really. Jack's voice sounded a little squeaky, not nearly as convincing as Craig's. "Good, very good." Beth didn't care that Jack would look like a fool. Cathy would be fine. "You two should practice. We'll be there in about five minutes. No more talking like Craig and Jack. Only talk like Cathy and Barbara from now on." Craig wanted to practice. The last thing he wanted was to be found out. The girls helped by instigating conversation, asking questions. "No, you have to come in." Beth said, waiting to open her door. "You can't just sit out here for an hour. It would look too suspicious. The security guys come around about every fifteen minutes. They'd be over here checking on you." They knew that those guys always question people they thought were suspicious. At the least, they'd want to see some id, a student IDs or licenses. "Where would we go?" Craig asked. "At, at, at. Cathy's voice, remember?" Beth scolded him. "I forgot." He said in his higher voice. "You can't forget again." He was so cute this way. "You can wait in the public room or come upstairs with us while we change." She told him. She was pretty sure which one they'd choose. "We'll come up." Barbara decided for them. Neither of them could imagine waiting downstairs. It was early enough that guys would probably be in the gathering room. No way did they want to be alone, with guys around. It was feasible that some of them might even be guys they knew. No way. It seemed like miles from where they parked to the front door of the dorm. Walking in heels, trying to look like it was nothing, wasn't easy. Beth tried to put him at ease by staying close and talking to him. She kept talking as they passed through the front door and into the foyer. "This way." She led him to the stairs. "Just take it easy, take your time." At least it was easier going up stairs than down. Christy brought Jack along with her. Jack hadn't mastered walking in the heels as well as Craig. He was such a klutz. Craig was relieved that they only lived on the second floor. They had passed a couple of girls coming down but he just looked away, not at them. He could feel the perspiration forming on his forehead and it wasn't that warm in the building. He was terrified. He wondered if Jack was as scared as he was? How could he not be? They breathed a sigh of relief when Christy closed their door behind them. "There, that wasn't so bad?" Beth turned and smiled at Craig. "Look at you, you're sweating." She took a tissue and dabbed the perspiration from his forehead. "You did fine Cathy. Just relax now." He did. He plopped down on the edge of one of the beds. "I was terrified." He admitted. "You shouldn't be. You look great, really. You just need to chill." She sat on the bed beside him and put her arm around him. "I saw how you kept your eyes down. You shouldn't do that. You need to smile a little, look around, look people in the eye." He looked at her woefully. Beth laughed at his expression. "Really Cathy. You're a very pretty young woman, there's no reason for you to be so shy." He couldn't help but smile at her. She was playing with him, but the way she did it was comforting. "Seriously, you've got to get over being afraid. It makes you look suspicious when you don't look people in the eye. They immediately think something's wrong with you. You know that!" Beth was right. It would be hard but he had to get past it if he was going to get away with this. Jack took in all that Beth said too. He was starting to feel just a little annoyed that Craig seemed to be more convincing that he was. It wasn't that he didn't get as much attention. He got plenty of that from Christy. Wasn't she sitting on his lap as they listened to Beth and Craig? No, it was that competitive thing. Jack just couldn't stand the idea of Craig being better at anything then him. He just made up his mind, then and there, that he would be the better at pretending tonight. Jack would just have to be more confident, that's all. The guys put on the TV to pass the time while Beth and Christy got ready. Beth immediately turned it off. "You guys need to practice. Walk around, sit, act out your parts and talk. Practice!" Jack would have rather watched TV but he went along. Craig seemed to jump whenever Beth asked him to do something. He wasn't usually like that but if Craig was going to practice, so was he. The guys thought it would have been nice if the girls changed in the bedroom, instead of the bathroom. Beth called Craig to her side as she put on her makeup. "Take your powder out of your purse and do your forehead. You were perspiring pretty good when we came in." Mimicking her, he did as she asked. "That ok?" He asked when he was finished. "Perfect. You did fine." She said with a smile. It was cute, the way he wanted to please her. "Now let me see a smile." She told him, looking at his reflection beside hers. "A smile?" He didn't get it. "Yes . . . , a smile. Let's see one." He thought he looked ridiculous with a grin on his face. "That wasn't bad but try it again with just a little bit of a pout." She showed him what she meant. "Much better." Beth praised his efforts. "That's very nice. Now one more thing. Try and relax your face and just enjoy yourself. You're giving yourself wrinkles and you look much prettier without them." Craig tried but . . . "Take a deep breath. Another. Good. Now I want you to close your eyes and think about something pleasant." Christy, who'd been watching them, had an idea. "Cathy, think about what it's going to be like later, back at Beth's house. Think about the two of you lying naked on her bed." "Christy!" Beth turned to her friend, a little annoyed. "Stop it." That was not a picture to relax him. Just the thought aroused him. Jack jumped in. "You and me?" He asked Christy. "You couldn't keep me away." She said grinning as she stroked his soft chin. It was a lie of course. She was repulsed by him now, worse than ever. He was a freak. Beth knew Sheri and Amy were waiting. It was about the time they were to leave. "We better get going." Beth was beginning to feel this strange affection for Craig and she didn't want to feel that way. She was setting him up to be humiliated and naturally, he would blame her. That thought left her feeling shallow and cheap. The boy that came to her door that afternoon was cocky and arrogant. The pretty thing that sat beside her at her dressing table, watching intently as she put on her makeup, was a shy, frightened creature named Cathy. This person she liked. Christy slipped into her heels and grabbed her purse. "Let's go." At the door, Beth turned to Craig, "Now remember what I said. Just relax, enjoy yourself and for God's sake smile and stop staring at the ground." Craig liked her. She was sweet, she was funny and she really seemed to care about him. "I'll try." Beth and Christy had been wondering when Gina and the others would make an appearance. Denise spotted them downstairs, when the four of them came in. Beth thought they would come to the room but they didn't. She had made them all swear not to let on that they knew who their new friends were. She insisted that they treat them just like girls and not overdo it. They lived up to their promises as Beth and Christy introduced Barbara and Cathy to their friends outside in the hall. Craig tried very hard not to look nervous. He smiled and said hello to each of their friends. He looked for any sign that they recognized them for what they were but none of them showed any indication that they knew. One thing that helped. It did occur to Craig that if they did, all they had to do was explain about the costume party and everyone would have a good laugh. This revelation, which should have dawned on him earlier, allowed him to relax and have a little fun. As long as they were with Beth and Christy, there was nothing to be afraid of. The stairs were a little easier this time. They were getting the hang of it. They were almost to the bottom when Beth exclaimed, "Oh shit." Craig panicked, "What's wrong?" He thought it was something he or Jack did, or didn't do. "No, it's ok. We just forgot the invitations upstairs." She looked at the boys thoughtfully for a second while she decided what to do. "Cathy, you and Barbara go wait at the car while we run up and find the invitations." "Shouldn't I go with you?" Craig asked, looking around to make sure no one could over hear. "And navigate these stairs again? No, I don't think so. Just take Barbara and go wait by the car. We'll be there in a few minutes." Part of the plan was to get shots of the guys coming out of the women's dorm, dressed up, alone. Christy knew the plan. She turned around and followed Beth up the stairs. Craig, in a whisper, said to Jack, "Maybe we should wait here?" Jack was a little tired of all the attention Craig was getting. It wasn't that he was feeling that confident about himself but he wanted to show Craig he wasn't the only one who could pull this off. In the voice he'd been practicing, he said, "Don't be silly Cathy. Let's go." He pushed the door open and stepped outside. Craig wasn't about to be left there alone, he followed. "There they are, right on time." Sheri had already zoomed in with the video camera to get a shot of the front door, including the sign overhead that read 'Meredith Hall', the name of the women's dorm. Amy was ready too and started clicking her shutter like mad as the two very feminine looking boys walked toward the parking lot. They got some great shots of their faces, capturing their smiles as they passed girls going the other way. Craig felt more than a little scared as the girls approached them. He remembered what Beth had said and kept his head up. He thought he'd die when the one girl smiled back and said "Hi." It took all his courage to return the greeting but he felt pretty good about himself when she didn't even seem to bat an eye. What did bother Craig was Jack. Jack's screechy voice didn't sound very natural. He didn't look all that great either. All Beth's compliments about the way he looked gave him a degree of confidence, but Jack? Jack was another story. He almost wished he could distance himself from his buddy. Craig wished that he and Beth could go to the party without Jack and Christy. He was afraid Jack would give them away. It was dark by now. It was a blessing as far as the guys were concerned. They stood beside the car and waited for Beth and Christy. They didn't have long to wait. Craig was having a hard time getting used to his long nails. Even opening the car door seemed strange. He straightened his skirt under him when he got in, following Beth's lead. He would have done it anyway, modesty demanded that he cover his smooth stockinged legs. Sheri and Amy were already on their way to the rendezvous. One of the most awkward parts of their plan was to trick the boy's girlfriends, Barbara and Karen into going somewhere where they could 'run into them.' The plan had to be orchestrated carefully, so as not to cause suspicion. It was Beth and Christy that came up with the sorority party idea. Christy was the one who belonged to Phi Kappa. She approached a couple of her sisters with it and they loved it when she told them the whole story. The only problem was it was such short notice. They usually took weeks to put together a party, especially a costume party. Everyone scrambled for costumes, which wasn't easy considering it was so close to Halloween. The list was small, about fifteen of the girls and their boyfriends. None of the guys were to be told the real reason for the party, or that Christy and her roommate's friends were really guys. It would be more fun that way. The invitations sent to Barbara and Karen were delivered by one of the officers of Phi Kappa. They made it appear that the girls were being wooed by the sorority for membership. Since the invitations included dates, they waited until after Craig and Jack broke their dates with the girls. That way, hopefully, the girls would ask other boys to go with them. Sheri and Amy had a few friends that knew Barbara and Karen. It was through them that they learned the girls would be bringing dates. Their plan was coming together. Barbara's and Karen's invitations said nine thirty. That would allow Beth and Christy to get there with the boys, introduce them around as Barbara and Cathy and hopefully, allow the boys time to become a little at ease in their surroundings. Soon after, Sheri and Amy would join the party, supposedly as prospective pledges. They would pretend not to recognize Craig and Jack. Christy's 'sisters' would do all they could to make it awkward for the boys to escape unobtrusively. Ideally, 'Barbara' and 'Cathy' would not be recognized by their girlfriends when they arrived. They'd be coaxed into socializing with Barbara and Karen and their dates. After socializing for a short while and enjoying watching the boy's squirm, Sheri and Amy would spring their surprise on everyone at the party. Craig and Jack would be mortified in front of everyone, especially Barbara and Karen. Exposed as feminine cross dressers, their reputations would be ruined and they would be totally shamed in front of the whole student body. No self respecting girl would have anything to do with them. What sweet revenge! For the most part, everything went as planned. They got to the party on time. Most everyone was already there. Barbara and Cathy were introduced to Christy's sorority sisters and received a warm reception. Beth explained why they didn't come in costume, due to it being such short notice. No one had a problem with that. The guys had no clue it was part of the plan. Everyone else knew, of course. It got easier for the boys as they were introduced around. The guys made them more nervous than the girls. How embarrassing it would have been if the guys were to discover that 'Barbara' and 'Cathy' were really guys, like them. It seemed natural that they preferred to stay close to the women, rathe
