Susan started to explain but the old woman seemed to yell something at the boy
and he offered both Amy and Susan a chair. 'Sit.'
They sat. The old woman studied the girl closely, as Amy tugged at the hem of
her dress, and crossed her legs. Mamma Chow said something in her language
and the boy translated as well as he could. 'You no like her box?' Came the
question.
'I'm not sure now if the problem is with your box or mine.' Amy said a little
sullenly.
The old woman barked something else to the boy and he offered both women a
drink, which Susan politely declined. Amy asked for a coke. When the boy
returned from the kitchen Mamma Chow turned her attention back to Amy.
'You no like being girl?' The boy asked for her.
'Me not thrilled with idea. No.' Amy said imitating the boy's speech patterns.
'You want go back?'
The question bothered Amy and it bothered her that it bothered her. This one
should be a no brainer. Getting turned back into Stuart was what had kept her
going the past two months and here she was, in front of someone she assumed
was the only person in the world to grant the request, and she was seriously
thinking about it.
Being Amy had certainly opened her eyes to more than a few things. It helped
her relationship with her sister and Katie. It had made her infinitely more patient
with people and to top it all off there was Danny to consider.
'Say yes,' her brain kept shouting. 'Say yes now. The longer you fart around with
it the more it looks like you want to stay a girl. It's not hard, engage mouth and
say yes. Bloody hell girl; look at the shit you got in with Steve. If Danny wasn't
there to act as the knight on the white horse you'd be more deflowered than a
Vietnam jungle after agent orange was dropped.'
Amy wanted to say yes at that point. The attack by Steve had affected her more
than she wanted to let on to her mother. She had woken in a cold sweat after
having nightmares about that night on more than a few occasions.
All her heart could manage was 'Sure it's a pain in the butt sometimes. Periods
suck and sitting to piss can take a masters degree in logistics but look me in the
eye and tell me you aren't a better person for the experience of the last two
months.'
'Shut up heart,' the brain told it. 'For one thing you don't even have eyes and for
another I do the thinking. Just shut the hell up and pump some damn blood up
here. I'm feeling dizzy.'
'See?' Amy's heart shot back. 'You'd be screwed without me. Listen to me Amy.
What about Danny huh? You can't tell me you don't have feelings for that guy.'
Susan, the boy and Mamma Chow were all looking at Amy when she finally
managed to silence most of her bodily organs. Her stomach was still giving her
hell over a spicy meal she'd had the night before but as yet it hadn't offered an
opinion on her gender.
'For Christ's sake say yes!' Her brain managed to say at the last minute.
Amy looked up from her lap and quietly said. 'I don't know.'
Susan was a little surprised. She would have bet London to a brick that Amy
would jump at the chance.
Mamma Chow smiled, just a little. Saying something which the boy translated as
'you very brave. Thank you for truth.'
Silence hung in the air as Amy contemplated what she'd just said. Eventually she
looked up at Mamma Chow and addressed her rather than the boy. 'Right now, I
don't know what I want. If you had asked me an hour ago I would have said that
I wanted to be Stuart again. If you ask me an hour from now I'd probably say I
want to be Stuart but right now? I just don't know.'
Mamma Chow nodded sagely. 'You have learn lot from time as girl. Maybe you
needed knowledge. Decision not needed today,' the old woman shrugged. 'You
have one more lesson to learn but when you do the power is in you.'
'So you can't change her back even if she wanted to?' Susan asked incredulously.
Mamma Chow waited for the translation and then slowly shook her head.
Amy was stunned. 'That's great.' She said. 'That's just fucking great. I sweat my
ass of for two months to get here and what do I find? An Asian fucking Yoda.
"Good the gender change can be. Many lessons to be learned. Use the force with
in." What the hell is the story with this damn box?'
'Amy.' Susan said in that tone only a mother can use as the girl got up and paced
around the room. 'Calm down right this minute.'
Meanwhile, Mamma Chow and the boy had been talking in their language. The boy
turned to face Amy and said in English. 'An explanation needed. Mamma Chow be
making boxes for two centuries. She learned as young girl in China from Buddhist monk.
Boxes used centuries ago to hide holy men who tell people about bad Emperors.
Emperors in many times not like religion to tell truth to people about what happen in
palace. Now Mamma Chow makes boxes to help people like Amy's mother and Mei
Ling,'
'So what's all this shit about learning a lesson?' Amy asked.
'Mamma Chow not know Amy's mother's boss. Why make him woman forever?
Buddhist believe in Karma and reincarnation. If boss learn lesson he deserve chance to
become man again. If not?' The boy shrugged. 'That is his karma.'
'What lesson do I have to learn?'
'There is old Chinese saying. If a blind man find own way out of forest he not get lost
again. If blind man led from forest be ready to rescue him again. Find your own way out
of forest.'
'Or in my case, bush.' Amy said dryly as she looked down at her lap.
'Look to your heart.' The boy said after translating Mamma Chow's words with a laugh.
Mamma Chow seemed to admonish the boy for something as her voice raised just a little
and the tempo got faster. Amy and Susan got the impression he had given too much away
but neither of them was sure what it was exactly. The young boy simply bowed and said,'
you go now. Mamma Chow tired.'
After the two women had left Mamma Chow turned to the boy and said in Kimmi's
voice, 'like that girl really needs to chill out already.'
Mother and daughter were out in the alley before Susan realised something.
'How did she know you are called Amy? I never used that name in there.'
'Now what?' Amy asked looking as if she was about to cry.
'Now honey, I guess we go back to Australia and try to work out what the lesson
is.' Susan replied hugging her daughter. 'Cheer up, at least you aren't stuck like
that for good.'
-oOOo-
'Amy,' Jade said as her sister and mother walked into the house late the next
afternoon. 'You're still? you.'
'That's a big A for observation Jade,' Amy snapped. 'Did you work that out all
by yourself or did you need to phone a friend?'
'Gee, I am glad your attitude isn't as bad as it was.' Jade shot back sarcastically.
'Enough girls. I am tired, hungry and I need a cigarette.'
'What happened?'
'We found the old woman Jade. She said she couldn't turn Amy back into Stuart
until she learned some lesson.'
'What lesson?'
'Your guess is as good as mine.' Amy shrugged.
'Oh well. Danny rang for you.'
'I'll ring him later; I am going to get changed right now. Have you heard from
Katie?'
'She's as anxious to find out what happened as I was but she had to go home'
'Damn.' Amy grumbled. 'What is wrong with that girl?'
'With the mood you're in at the moment, if she's staying away from you she can
only be described as smart.'
-oOOo-
The next day, when Susan was at work and Jade was at school there was a knock
at the door. Amy, who was given an extra day off to think through her situation,
opened the door hoping it was Katie. 'Oh, it's you.'
'That's a lovely way to greet your father.'
'Come in then.' Amy shrugged. 'I am the only one here though.'
'Is it true you and your mother have just got back from overseas?'
'Yes, we had a week in Hong Kong. What difference does it make?'
'It matters to me Amy because I am supposed to give permission for you to leave
the country. And why aren't you at school?'
'I am not at school because I have bad menstrual cramps .' It was a lie but Amy
knew he wouldn't challenge it. 'And if you are just here to give mum the shits
you can piss off back to Perth right now.'
'Watch the language young lady.' Jim said sternly. 'I am not here to give your
mother a hard time. I was in town on business and thought I'd come over here
and wait until you got home from school but I couldn't find the key.'
'Mum moved it from under the pot plant.' Amy shrugged. 'It's too easy for?
undesirables to find.'
Her father dismissed the dig she was having at him with a shrug. 'I thought your
mother might be working from home today.'
'Nope. It's just me.'
'Well it was you I wanted to see anyway honey. I was wondering if you wanted
to come stay with me in the school holidays. Francesca will be away at her
parents so I thought I could fly you over and it will be just you and me for the
week. I can show you Perth and we can spend some time together. Just like old
times. What do you say?'
Amy was surprised by the offer. Stuart and his dad were never that close. She
couldn't remember the old times her dad was talking about and after the
disappointment of Hong Kong she was in the mood to vent her anger a little.
'Those that can, parent. Those that can't shell out the cash.' She shrugged. 'Gee, I
wonder what category you fit into?' She glared at him and continued, 'Anyway, I
was going to hang around here with Katie and Danny for the school holidays.'
Once more Jim ignored the outburst and tried to change the subject, not knowing
that he was heading for thin ice. 'Are you still going out with that? boy?'
'Don't' Amy said firmly. 'Don't come here and bitch about my friends.'
'I am your father. Even if I am not living here with you, I have a right. No, an
obligation to look out for you. I don't think Danny is the type of boy I want my
little girl? hanging around with.'
'I am sure mum's parents said the same about you Dad. The difference is, they
were right.'
'I don't like him. I am only speaking my mind.'
Amy rolled her eyes, looking every inch the petulant teenaged girl she was. 'You
met him at the wedding and spent what? Ten minutes tops talking to him.' She
stated. 'People in glass houses dad.'
'Have I done something to upset you?' Jim asked genuinely puzzled by Amy's
attitude towards him. She'd been that way on her birthday and at his sister's
wedding and he really didn't know why she had changed from a girl he used to
be able to talk about anything with to this moody monster in front of him now.
He put it down to puberty but deep down he was sure he'd done something else
because Jade was never as bad at the same age.
'You mean apart from divorcing mum and marrying what's her name?' Amy
replied not looking him in the eye.
'Her name is Francesca, Amy,' Jim sighed. 'But you know that already.'
'Whatever. Look Dad, you bugger off to Perth and remarry and you forgot about
me and Jade.'
'I never forgot Amy. I moved to Perth for work, plain and simple. I wanted us all
to go but your mother just got the job with the I.S.P. I thought it best to give you
all some room when the marriage broke up.'
'Moving to Perth gave me plenty of room.' She spat. 'Just don't come and act like
you're a great father.'
'I know I've let you down.' He said softly. 'I did what I thought was right but
here's a news flash, parents make mistakes too.'
'Gee, I am glad you told me that, I would have never guessed.'
'Sweetie, I am about to say something I don't say lightly. Ask your mother, it
took me three years to say it to her. I always loved you. I will always love you.
Like it not I will always be your father and if you need me all you need to do is
call and I'll be here for you.'
'Really? Gee, lets go over a few things. My first period? Nope, that was mum.
My last ten or so Ballet recitals? Mum again. The first time my heart was broken?
No, I believe it was mum who was there with the shoulder to cry on.'
'If you don't tell me about your boyfriends it's very hard to know when your
heart is broken.'
'It wasn't a boyfriend dad.'
'Who was it then?' Jim asked
'You.' She replied softly. 'I am going back to bed. Do me a favour and close the
door when you leave.'
'I take it that's a no for Perth in the holidays.' Jim said redundantly.
-oOOo-
'How is my darling little sister this evening?' Jade asked as Amy sat painting her
fingernails later that day. 'Are we in a better mood now?'
'Fuck off Jade.' Amy said, barely looking up from the task at hand.
'Now now, that's not very lady like.'
Amy finally put the lid back on the polish and looked up at her sister. 'Did you want
something?'
'Well I'd like you to cheer up a little. Ever since you got home from Hong Kong you've
been a first class bitch. More of a bitch than normal and that's saying something. Build a
bridge and get over it.'
'Why don't you build a bridge and jump off it?' Amy shot back.
'Well I was here to help you, I've got an idea that might get back to being Stuart but you
obviously can manage on your own. Funny though, since you still have tits I would think
you're not doing that good a job of it.'
Amy rolled her eyes. 'Yeah, all right. Sorry. What's your idea?'
'Gee, I don't know. You don't sound too sorry.' Jade teased. 'Maybe I won't worry about
it.'
'Come on Jade. The U.N. has banned torture.'
'Okay. I've been thinking about what Mamma Chow said to you about looking to your
heart.'
'Yeah?'
'Well what is it you used to do a lot of but you haven't done since you got changed? And
I am not talking about pulling your dick?'
'Beating the crap out of you?'
'No,' Jade said pulling a piece of paper from her pocket. 'Music. Playing with your
friends in that dopey band.'
Amy quickly perused the leaflet. 'Battle of the bands?'
'Yep. It's in three weeks.'
'So?'
'God you're thick Amy. Personally I think that if brains were dynamite your friends
wouldn't have enough to blow their nose. But you went from spending every waking
moment with them to saying absolutely nothing. Maybe that's what Mamma Chow was
talking about.'
'It's a bit of a long shot.'
'Better than no shot at all.' Jade shrugged.
'But as far as I can tell they don't even have a band anymore.'
Now it was Jade's turn to roll her eyes. 'Well derr.' She said. 'Stuart got them together so
when he disappeared so did their reason to be in a band. You know what instruments they
play right?'
'Yeah.'
'And you've got a pretty good voice.'
'I don't know Jade.' Amy said shaking her head. 'I don't think we can get too far in three
weeks.'
'You don't have to win. If I am right, all you need to do is spend a little time with the
jerks doing what you used to do. Besides, as Zeke Franklin always said, Show biz is 90%
show man ship and 15% talent. We just get you in a mini skirt, some thigh high boots and
a tube top then get you up on stage shaking your little booty. You'd probably come close
to winning.'
'Who the hell is Zeke Franklin?'
'I'm buggered if I know.' Jade smiled. 'The guy couldn't even work out maths, do you
really think he could get into showbiz?'
Amy thought about Jade's idea a little. 'We can't play the same kind of music. I don't
want what happened with Katie to happen again.'
'So change it,' Jade shrugged. 'That heavy metal dirge you call music wouldn't suit your
voice anyway.'
'What if they don't want to play another style? They're all into hard rock.'
'Honestly Amy, for a girl you are such a boy. If a girl that looked like you do walked up
to Stuart and asked him to join her band Stuart would have played Polka music if she
asked.'
'Good point.' Amy conceded. 'I'm still worried they might find out who I really am.'
'Nah, trust me. They'll be too busy looking at your boobs.'
-oOOo-
Amy went to school the next morning, against her wishes, but Susan made it quite clear
that girl or not, she couldn't just laze around at home all day. Schoolwork was waiting
and grades were depending on it.
As she and Katie walked to School Amy told her about the band idea.
'Do you think it will work?'
'I really don't know.' Amy said truthfully. 'I think when Mamma Chow told me to look
to my heart she was talking about Danny.'
Katie stopped walking and looked at Amy. 'Or me.' She said quietly.
It was something Amy had thought about but she never thought Katie would be the one to
raise the subject. She looked her friend in the eye. 'It's the wrong time to talk about the
K.J. and this is certainly the wrong body.' Amy ran her hands over her boobs and down
to her hips.
Katie looked down and nodded slowly. 'I guess so. It's just kind of?'
'?There will be time.' Amy said taking her friends face in her dainty hands. 'Believe
me, there will be time.'
Both girls started walking again but silence seemed to form a barrier between them.
-oOOo
Amy decided to ring in sick to work. Now she had been to Hong Kong there seemed
little point in keeping the job but she still couldn't bring herself to quit. Not knowing how
much longer she'd be stuck as a girl and knowing the high price of just about every thing
associated with the distaff side of life she knew the extra cash might come in handy.
She simply couldn't bring herself to face Sammy that night. Her day had been stressful
enough. Katie had started things off on a strange angle and things just got worse. First of
all she had deliberately tried to stay away from Danny without looking rude. She was
worried about how she was going to deal with him when she got turned back into Stuart
and, if she was being truthful with herself she was probably more worried that if she got
any closer to the hunky boy she wouldn't want to be Stuart.
It used to be that life was too complicated when all she had to choose between was Pizza
or Burgers, a comedy or an action film. Now, since she touched that damn box she really
knew complicated. Danny or Katie, a skirt or jeans, and more importantly male or female.
Her old life seemed so much easier. A little like looking back at Pre-school when you
were in your senior year at High school.
'I've got a bone to pick with you.' Susan said, hands on hips, as soon as Amy walked
through the door.
'I hope it's a T-bone. I am starving.'
'You didn't tell me your father was here yesterday.' Susan said in a tone that let Amy
know that her mother knew what had been said between her and her dad.
'Oh shit.'
'Do you have any idea how upset he is?' Susan continued.
'I got a feeling you're going to tell me.'
'Very. I don't get it Amy. You get a little bit of bad news so the only way you can feel
better about yourself is to make everyone else miserable? Is that it? Or do you just want
to spread your fowl mood around?'
'I wasn't that bad.' Amy said none too convincingly.
'That's not what I've heard. Honesty Amy, your dad doesn't know about the switch. He
and Amy didn't have the same issues that he had with Stuart. He can't understand all this
attitude and quite frankly neither can I.'
'Trust Dad to come crying to you about it.' The girl sniffed.
'He didn't. He wouldn't have said a word but your grandmother dragged it out of him.
She's not too happy with you at the moment either.'
Amy sat on the sofa. 'Great.' She grumbled. 'So he's staying with Gran?'
'Yep.' Susan said looking down at her daughter. 'It makes it easier. You can apologise to
both of them at the same time.'
'What? Now?'
'If not sooner.' Susan nodded.
'You really know how to hurt a girl.' Amy said. 'Gran will give me an lecture that will
last for hours.'
'If not days.' Susan smiled. 'See you when you get back. If you're not home in a week
I'll send out a search party.'
-oOOo-
Amy was still in her school uniform as she walked to her grandmothers' house about
twenty minutes away.
She stiffened up as she heard a car slow down behind her, knowing what was to come
next.
'Hey Baby.' A young male voice shouted to be heard over the boom boom boom of a
radio turned up as far as it could go, from within the car. 'Do you want to sit on my
face?'
Amy turned to see pretty much what she expected. A beat up old car with four sixteen-
year-old guys who thought they were all gods gift to women. She waited for the car to
pull a little closer and then said. 'Only if I can be in a steam roller.'
'What's the matter babe? Don't you like men?'
'I don't know, you show me a man and I'll tell you.' With that she turned and walked off,
ignoring the disgusting names coming from the car as it took off past her.
She had managed to avoid too many more catcalls and wolf whistles as she turned into
her grandmothers' street. But even they seemed pleasant to the sight that greeted her in
the front yard of the house she knew so well.
She quickly ducked behind a tree and tried to blend into the foliage, something that's not
easy in a blue plaid skirt and dark blue sweater. At first she thought she was imagining
things but as she continued to look it became clear that it was all true. Her dad had his
arm around Francesca's waist as she stood there watering the garden. Nothing
strange there. Except that Francesca was pregnant. Very Pregnant.
Amy made sure she hadn't been seen and then she headed home feeling more
angry and hurt than before.
-oOOo-
