The Last Of The Baraandi Part Two free porn video

THE NEXT MORNING... April woke up to the sounds of someone moving about in the house's kitchen. She got up, sensing with her new abilities that it was Kendall in the kitchen. She also sensed that her own brother's psychic screen was still up, leading her to believe that he was still asleep. She stretched and went out to the kitchen, getting a cheery, "Good Morning!" from Kendall. April replied, "Morning, is that coffee I smell?" With her new senses April already knew the answer, but the question seemed to just fit in. "Yeah, do you want a cup?" "Please." As Kendall poured, she said, "Look, I want to apologize for what I did the other night. Even knowing the reasons for what I did, I still feel guilty." Kendall set cup of coffee in front of April, and April picked it up, saying, "It's okay. The whole thing was kind of weird at first, but I can definitely get used to this." "Good, because I really do wanna be your friend. The last thing I want to do is lose your friendship." "I think we can definitely manage that." April lifted the cup of coffee to her lips and took a sip. Just then she felt her brother's screen come down. Without even meaning to, she found herself looking into his room, and what she saw caused her to spew the coffee out of her mouth in an almost classic spit take. As she gagged and tried to catch her breath, Kendall commented, "I know it's not the greatest coffee in the world, but it's not that bad." April pointed back towards Larry's room, and when Kendall took a look with her own abilities, all she could say was, "Oh." Larry stepped out of his room looking nothing like he had the night before when he went to sleep. In fact, if it weren't for their own Baraandi abilities, Kendall and April probably would've guessed it was a totally different person. To all appearances, the person coming towards them was a woman. Larry had chosen not only to keep the feminizing effects of the Baraandi energy infusion, but also to amplify them. He now had breasts, breasts as large as Kendall's, his hips and butt were now round and firm, he had styled his now longer hair in a very feminine wave, and he had shaped the fat and muscle in his face into a very female visage. As April continued to sputter and choke, Larry stepped right up and asked, "Can I have some of that coffee?" as though nothing were out of the ordinary. Kendall just shrugged and poured another cup. April finally managed to get her breath and all but yelled, "What are you thinking?" Larry looked up at his sister as though he didn't understand what she was getting so emotional about. "I was thinking that I needed a cup of coffee. Don't tell me you think I'm too young. Mom lets me drink it, and you know she does, just so long as I go easy on it." April said, "That isn't what I mean, and you know it!" punctuating her declaration with a couple of pokes to Larry's breast. Larry defensively knocked her hand away, saying, "Hey, don't damage the merchandise!" "Fine! Do you want to explain," April waved her hands up and down, "this?" Larry got a somewhat forlorn look on his face. "I decided I want to be a girl, at least for awhile." "You think it's that easy? 'Today, I'm going to be a girl, but I think tomorrow I will be a boy'?" "I'm not stupid, sis. Believe me, I have thought about this. I know that now that I've started this, I am locked into it. I couldn't go back now, even if I wanted to, and I definitely DON'T want to." "Why? What possible reason could you have?" Without waiting for an answer April turned to Kendall and asked, "Don't you have anything to say? Surely someone who was born a boy who wants to live as a girl can't have as easy a life as he seems to think." Kendall took a sip of coffee and said, "I think that your brother has thought more about this than you give him credit for." "How could you know that?" "Because when the Baraandi communicate, they don't just do it with their ears and mouth. They also listened with their psychic abilities, with their telepathy and empathy. It makes lying to them almost impossible. It also gives them the ability to feel the emotion behind the words. I think you need to use those tools and listen to what your brother has to say. There's a lot more there than just, 'I want to be a girl.' Well, I'll give you two some privacy and go pick out a couple sets of clothes." "A couple?" "Well, I may be a little taller than your brother, but at this point, he's definitely going to fit better into my clothes than yours. At the very least, he's going to need a bra. He already agreed to wear my panties today." Larry said, "I'm only agreeing to wear your panties because I'm gonna fit into them better than my own underwear now. You cheated to win that bet." Kendall set her coffee cup down, smiled, and said, "Hey, you never told me I couldn't use my psychic abilities to nudge you into sleep." "How was I supposed to know you even had psychic abilities?" "You weren't." Kendall blew a kiss to Larry as she walked back towards her own room. After Larry and April heard the door close, April asked, "Okay, you want to explain why you felt the need to do this to yourself?" "Because I wanna be a girl." With her new psychic abilities April could feel the pain in him as he spoke. "Was it really so bad being a boy?" "Not being a boy. Being a smart boy. The only people who I ever got along with, who ever treated me nice, were all girls. All the boys at school treated me like some kind of freak just because my first response to a situation wasn't physical, because I like to think." "You shouldn't judge men by high-school boys. High-school boys are-" "High-school boys are just more aggressive about it than younger boys. I got promoted into high school at the age of 12, but even before that, I wasn't really thought well of by the kids my age." "What about Bill? Wasn't he your friend?" "Sure, but he was just one guy amongst a few hundred that went to school with me, and after I got into high-school, things just kept coming up to keep us apart, sometimes with me, sometimes with him. Towards the end of high-school, I think I only saw him about once a month." "Maybe college boys will be different." "Maybe, but I doubt it. It's different between boys and girls. When I was around your friends, the most I usually got was a little bit of jealousy. Occasionally there was a little bit of resentment, but that wasn't usual. With boys, everybody always treated me like I was betraying my manhood by being smart. I didn't just hang out with you because the other boys didn't want be my friends. I hung out with you and your friends because you guys were the only ones who treated me nice." April felt the pain in him. "Are you sure? What about all your records? They all show you as a guy." "Not anymore. One of my Baraandian's strongest abilities was her cyber- empathy. She used it mostly to scan the ship and make sure that everything was working as it should have, but last night, one of the things that I did was raid through the city's computers and change all my records so that they showed me as a girl. Then I set up a computer program of my own to go through the rest of the net and change all the rest of my records. I figure that by noon today, the only remaining place where I'll be a boy will be in the memories of the people back home." "Speaking of back home, have you thought about what you will plan on telling mom and dad?" "Uhm, 'April has something to tell you.'?" "I don't think so." Larry smiled. "I'll have to think about it, but I will think of something to tell them. This... is really the best thing for me." "You think. This could be a lot harder than you're guessing." "Maybe, but I am usually pretty good about guessing about things." "Yeah, you are at that." April sighed. "Well, I'm not sure if I agree with your reasons for doing this, but you are my little brother, and I'll stand by you." "Thanks, but you should really start calling me your little sister, if only to get used to the idea." "You're right, little sister." April gave her newly dubbed little sister a hug. "Okay, now there are only a couple more questions. First off, what do you want call yourself now? Larry really doesn't fit anymore." "I've been thinking about that. I've decided that I wanna be known as Lana." Knowing about her brother-sister's fascination with Superman comics, April said, "As in Lana Lang? If you tell me that you want your middle name to be Lois, so help me, I'm going to slap you." "Well, I did name myself after Superman's high-school girlfriend, but I hadn't really thought about a middle name. What would you suggest?" "How about Marie, after Grandma?" "Lana Marie, sounds good. What's your other question?" "Lana, are you interested in..." April couldn't really bring herself to ask the question, so instead she wound up broadcasting an image of her little sister in the arms of a big, muscular man. "Gay? Hell, no!" "Watch your language, little girl." "Sorry. But no, I'm not into guys." "Well, if you're a girl and you're interested in girls, doesn't that make you gay?" Lana smiled. "You caught me. I guess I am gay now. You don't have a problem with that, do you?" "Naw, I don't have a problem with lesbians. Judith, my best friend back home, is a lesbian." "Mostly." April raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "What's that supposed to mean?" "Well, I'm not supposed to tell, but she is willing to do it with guys. They just have to do something for her first." "What's that?" "They have to wear her clothes. Actually, she'd be satisfied with just the lingerie, but the more clothes she can get the guy into, the more interested she becomes." "Are you sure about that?" "Yeah." "How exactly do you know about this?" "Let's just say that thanks to her, I'm no longer a virgin." Lana broadcasted an image of herself, as Larry, in Judith's favorite dress, on his back, getting a blowjob from Judith. April was shocked. "You?! and Judith?! I'll kill her!" "Gee, I hope not. I was figuring that if she likes both girls and boys in dresses, then she's going to love me." April just sputtered. "Relax, sis. I'm just kidding. Let's go get me dressed." As Lana started back towards the bedrooms, April said, "Wait a second. Did you mean you were kidding about you and Judith doing it, or about wanting to show her what you look like now?" Lana just raised her eyebrows up and down a few times, and said, "You figure it out." As Lana walked away, April said, "C'mon, really! Did you two do it or not?" Lana turned, blew a kiss back to her sister, and sprinted toward Kendall's room. April called after her, "Fine! I won't kill her; I'll kill you!" and then followed. Lana got to the door and knocked just as April came up. She waited for Kendall to call her in, then ducked inside before her sister could say anything. As soon as she could, Lana asked, "Have you got something for me to wear yet?" "Sure do. It's just a simple blue dress, but it should look good enough on you." "What about bra and panties? Something sexy, I hope." "Why? Are you planning on showing it off?" "Of course." April screeched, "Larry!" Kendall said, "He's kidding. I told you, use your telepathy and empathy. Listen with more than just your ears." Lana said, "Don't forget to use my new name, too. It's Lana," purposefully emphasizing both syllables in her name, as though she were talking to somebody who was slow witted. April said, "Watch it, brat. You are neither too old nor too girlish for me to turn you over my knee." "Sounds like fun, but wouldn't that be incest?" "Not the way I'm going to spank you." Lana pulled up short as she felt a wave of serious intent coming from her sister, but then she felt a wave of amusement just before April said, "I think I'm getting the hang of this." "Oh, I get it. You were broadcasting a fake emotion." Kendall said, "Very good. With a little more practice you'll be able to sense that right off the bat. However, you should be careful about broadcasting fake emotions. Those who aren't psychically trained may pick up on them, and depending upon how perceptive they are and how powerful you make the broadcast, they could very well take it as real, or even confuse it with their own emotions." Lana asked, "Is that what you did the other night? Broadcast feelings that put us to sleep?" "That was part of it, feelings of contentment, so that you'd feel safe nodding off. I also manipulated a few points in your body so that you would quickly drop off." April asked, "You used your psychic abilities to put us to sleep?" Lana said, "Didn't you already figure that out? Didn't you find it odd that you were going to sleep so quickly?" "I didn't really think about it." Kendall asked, "You wanna take your forgiveness back now?" "No, you were just doing what you had to so that you could protect the planet, even if you didn't know that's what you were doing. Now let's get my new little sister dressed." "Okay, here's the lingerie I decided on." Kendall picked up a bra and panties set that she had laid out. "It's not a real fancy design, but the pretty pastel pink should make you feel sexy enough." Lana said, "They certainly look real pretty. Let's see what they look like on me." Kendall handed Lana the underwear. Lana took the bra first and put it on. After she did, she said, "Oh, this feels so..." and moaned, barely realizing that she was rubbing her own breasts through the bra. April asked, "What's going on? Why is Lana experiencing so much pleasure right now?" Kendall said, "I was afraid of this. Well, not so much afraid as not sure whether or not to expect it. It's a side effect of the accelerated growth. She hasn't quite adjusted to the fact that she's got a whole bunch of new nerve endings. For a while she's going to have a massively increased sensitivity in her bust." "So what do we do about it?" "Nothing really to do." Kendall turned Lana and shoved her towards the door, saying to her, "Go into the bathroom and handle that stuff." Lana walked out of the room in a daze, still rubbing herself. After Lana was gone, April asked, "How long will she have that increased sensitivity?" "The sensitivity should drop pretty quickly for the next couple of days." "After that, will she have a more normal sensitivity?" "Well, if she's anything like me, then it will never drop quite to the level of an average genetic girl." "Why not?" "A couple of reasons. First, the nerves that run through her breasts weren't there last night, so her brain always treats them as though they were a little more sensitive than if it had a chance to adjust to them growing in slowly. Second, since the breasts were grown in by the being who is Lana, the soul if you will, there's always a somewhat greater attention given to them. It's not so much because of greater sensitivity, but rather a greater awareness of the sensitivity that the breasts have, although that really comes out to be almost the same thing in terms of effect." "So she'll always be getting a little more excited than I would?" "If she's like me, she will." "Lucky her." Just then April noticed that Lana was in the bathroom rubbing her breasts and cock, and with no screens up, April was aware of every little thing that was going on in there. She called out, "Lana, put up a screen!" echoing the sentiment with a little telepathy to make sure that her sister heard her. Lana did put up a screen, but it was hurriedly done. April supposed that either to Kendall or Lana, the screen was perfectly fine, but her own spatial awareness was so powerful that to her, the hastily erected screen was worse than nothing at all. To her, it was as though she were looking at someone's silhouette through a very thin curtain, making what Lana was doing all the more noticeable. April thought she'd be more embarrassed by knowing what her sibling was doing, but it didn't seem to be that big a deal, so she asked Kendall, "Why don't I find my sister masturbating in the bathroom to be that big a deal? I mean, I can sense everything she's doing in there, and it's only a little uncomfortable. Before, I once only almost walked in on her, well, him then, when he was doing that. Luckily I heard him through the door, but even just hearing him made me feel incredibly embarrassed." "It's the Baraandi influence. All of the Baraandi have that spatial awareness to one degree or another, although very few had anywhere near your level either in terms of the power or skill. Even so, any Baraandi who had spent any time training their awareness, which includes all the military, could sense distances up to about half this house length. Combine that with their telepathy and empathy and the fact they can sense surface thoughts and feelings pretty easily, and modesty winds up taking a backseat. Sure, you can set up shields around yourself to keep you from picking up on thoughts and images of sex, but the energy expenditure really isn't worth it. Even in Baraandi culture, thoughts of reproduction were pretty prevalent, and human culture is a lot more sex intensive. Putting up screens just to keep out those thoughts would be like walking down the street and using a piece of paper or something like that to keep yourself from seeing anybody with a blue shirt." "Is that why you parade around here in almost nothing in all?" "Pretty much. When you're instantly aware of everything around you regardless of any barriers between you and whatever, using clothes to cover yourself up just seems silly. Clothes in Baraandi culture basically served only three purposes: protection from the elements, decoration, and as a place to put stuff. That's why I don't wear clothes at home unless I want to fulfill one of those three functions." "Yeah, but in human culture, modesty is a factor. Aren't you worried about accidentally walking in and having somebody else see you in the nude, someone who isn't Baraandi bonded?" "I suppose I should. After all, it has already happened." "Sounds like there's a story behind that. What happened?" "Well, there were some neighbors that my mom and stepmom played bridge with on a regular basis. One night when they were playing I came home all sweaty from soccer practice, immediately took a shower, then, with nothing but a towel wrapped around my waist, proceeded to walk right through the kitchen where they were playing in order to get a snack. I barely made it a couple of steps into the kitchen before mom jumps up, grabs me, and drags me back to my room. That night I got a full hour long lecture on why I need to be more careful about how I present myself to the world." "Oh, man, I can just imagine. Was it another lesbian couple?" "No. I suppose it should've ticked me off as to how I was dressed when the guy's eyes practically bugged out of his head." April laughed at the image. "Oh, man, I can just see you parading around in front of some guy, not even noticing how you're dressed." Just then April sensed Lana explode in orgasm. "Thinking of people getting excited, maybe we should leave her home." "I wish we could, but a tour of the campus isn't the only thing we're gonna be doing there. We also need to get the parts for a scanner, so that we can see how long it will be before the Larkoss start attacking earth. Human technology alone hasn't developed to the point where anyone else is going to know how to build something like that, and unless I'm remembering wrong, neither the captain nor the helmsman had the technical ability to build it, so that means we have to bring her along." "So how are we going to prevent her from needing to do... what she just did?" "I don't think we can prevent it. We just need to do what we can to reduce the risk of it happening quickly. I think our best bet would be to stop by a local lingerie store and see if we can find something a little more functional, maybe even padded to provide some insulation against other fabric rubbing on her. She may fit into my stuff, but all of my stuff is designed to tease and titillate, and that means myself as well as others, so it will only make things worse. You saw her reaction when she put on that simple, pink, satin bra. I figure we're just going to have to keep an eye out for where the bathrooms are, and then we herd her over when the sensations get to be too much." April laughed. "Y'know, Mom always used to say that I needed to be aware of where all of the restrooms were wherever I went. Somehow, I don't think she meant that I should be looking out for some place where I could take my little sister, who used to be my little brother, so she could masturbate." "Somehow I think you're right." Lana walked back into the room having taken her pajama bottoms off, wearing nothing but the bra, and she said, "Okay, what's next?" Kendall said, "We were just deciding where to go so that we could pick up some clothes that won't drive you over the edge just by putting them on." Lana blushed. "I'm sorry about that. I really underestimated how sensitive these would be. Were yours all that sensitive when they grew in?" "Mine were. Your sister's weren't." Quickly Kendall explained about the increased sensitivity due to the rapid breast growth. "So for the next couple of days I'm not only going to be a sex kitten, but a sex kitten in heat?" April said, "Hey! Sister right here! I don't need be hearing my little sister referring to herself as a sex kitten!" "Why not? It's what I am now. It's what I was aiming for when I went to work on my body last night." Kendall said, "You may not be so happy about your good looks when the boys start chasing after you." "Maybe. They'll just have to get over the fact that I'm not interested in guys." "You realize that the fact that you're not interested in guys won't prevent them from coming after you?" "Maybe not, but I think I can handle them." April asked, "How would you know how to handle a guy?" "After spending a few years watching you and your friends rebuff the approaches of guys you didn't like, I think I know a thing or two about dealing with them, and if those tricks don't work, a little telepathic push here and there will keep me safe from too much unwanted attention." "You sure you're up to the challenge?" "Of course I am." "Well, if you have any problems, don't be afraid to ask me, even if you have to do it telepathically." "Will do." "Wait a second," April said as an idea popped in her head, "Kendall, how did you know that Lana was interested in girls and not guys? Were you listening in on us when we talked?" Kendall said, "Didn't have to. Lana doesn't generate any interest energy in regards to sexual interest in boys." "Interest energy?" Lana said, "You're still not getting this whole part Baraandi thing, are you? Every type of emotion or physiological reaction generates energy. That energy can be picked up on by others. That's what empathy does, picks up on that energy. Even without the Baraandi skills we picked up, we could do that, although our senses were much less refined. Now, we can detect subtle gradations of emotional feeling, where before we could only detect course emotion." "You mean like when you could feel it when someone who was really sad or really angry walked into a room?" "Exactly." "So now what?" Kendall said, "Now, you need to go to your room and get dressed. Unless you want to go to school in just your night shirt and panties." April looked down at what she was wearing. Then she looked up and said, "It must be the Baraandi influence. I didn't even notice that I hadn't changed out of my nightwear. Be right back." April returned to her room and got out some clothes that would be appropriate for a day of running around the campus, simple jeans and a blouse. After changing she went back to Kendall's room where her two housemates were already dressed. Kendall was dressed in a tight sweater and even tighter jeans. Lana was dressed in matching sweater and short skirt that fell just above the knee. April asked, "Couldn't you find something a little less revealing for her?" Lana definitively said, "I don't want less revealing." Kendall said, "In this case, less revealing might actually be a problem. The tight top will keep attention focused on her bosom and away from her crotch. There are some bio-manipulation techniques that'll keep her from getting an erection despite the sexual energy running through her, but if she gets too excited and loses focus, the last thing we need is for somebody to take notice of the bulge that results." "I suppose that makes sense." "And we're going to be right there, so there shouldn't be much risk." "I guess that's true, but you, little sister, have to promise not to try to get away and go off on your own, not today." Lana said, "No problem. I promise that I will not attempt to go off and investigate on my own today." Kendall said, "Now you need to find us a good lingerie store where we can get a new bra for Lana." April asked, "Me? Why me?" "Because you're the only one who can scan far enough to reliably hit the business districts. Lana and I might be able to push ourselves to reach that far, but your skills are great enough that you should be able to just home in on a good place that won't be too far out of our way. We still want to be able to hit the college campus today." "Geez, you know how long that will take? First, I'd have to find the main bus stop, that I'd have to find the right bus routes, then-" Lana said, "Sis, you're making it too hard. Just-" Kendall said, "No, don't tell her. April, you have within you the knowledge to do this easily and quickly. Just relax and let it come to you." April said, "Are you sure? I'm still not too sure about all this." "That's part of the reason why you need to do it, to gain some confidence in your new abilities. Don't worry too much about it. Before the Larkoss attacked, Quillthana did this all the time, and now you're Quillthana." "Okay, I'll give it a shot." April closed her eyes and extended her senses outward. The first thing she did was look along the street outside the house and find a bus stop. The night before Kendall had mentioned that the house she had chosen was right on a major bus route, so it wasn't that hard. The bus stop had a placard with the map and the schedule for the bus, so the next thing she did was scan along the bus route to find a bus. Once she had, she scanned the people inside. She intended to go through their surface thoughts to see if any of them were headed to where she wanted to go, but she noticed something. All the people on the boss had the feeling of going from one place to another, but any forcibly restrained way. It made sense. Everyone was going up on the bus from one place to another, but only along the route the bus was taking. She also noticed that there were traces of the same type of feeling and energy both in front and in back of the bus. According to what Quillthana knew, that also made sense. Months and months of people traveling along the same bus route, generating that same energy, had left an imprint of the same energy all along the route. She pushed her senses outward, looking for that same energy. This was where she could really shine. Detecting large scale energy patterns was her specialty. It took less than a second for her to map out that energy all throughout the city. She finished up the second confirming that she had now mapped out every bus route that the city had. She could even identify the different bus routes along her mental map. The next thing she did was look for established commercial zones, malls and such. It took only a fraction of a second for her to find a major mall, whereupon she felt the flow of money through the place. It was similar to greed, but less overwhelming, less obsessive. By extending her senses across the city, she was able to map out every store in the city, from the smallest street vendors selling hot dogs, through the biggest mega-mall available. The next thing she needed to do was to isolate a lingerie store (or even just a lingerie department within a bigger store). She concentrated on the feelings she had when she went lingerie shopping, a feeling of intimacy and desire to be pretty. It was partly experiment. Others might not feel as she did when lingerie shopping, and without enough people, there wouldn't be a strong enough trace of emotional energy in the lingerie stores. Her gamble paid off, however, and she quickly homed in on a lingerie store. Once there she was able to identify and add in a few more emotions to what she was looking for, feelings of risk of exposure and even a little guilt. After expanding her senses back to city wide, she was able to find every lingerie store in the city. That was just a matter of putting it together. She took her map of the city bus routes and then laid it over her map of lingerie stores. Then it was a simple matter of finding a bus route path from the house to a store. When she finished, she looked up and said, "Okay, I've got it. The bus that runs outside also runs to a major mall with a good lingerie store." Kendall said, "Not bad. It only took about 10 seconds. With a little bit of practice you'll be able to go into any city and do that in half the time. Does the store have what we need?" "They should." "Should? Take a couple of seconds and check." April felt like slapping herself. Checking the store to see that they had what they were looking for was well within her capabilities, and she knew it. She closed her eyes, then extended her senses to the store, and checked it out. "Yeah, they've got a good selection of both large size, padded bras and functional, plain, well built bras." Lana asked, "How can you be sure? You don't even know what bra size I wear." "Sure I do. Checking was simplicity itself. You wear a size 38D." "Wrong. I wear a size 36F, just like Kendall." "No, you fit into Kendall's bras. That doesn't mean that they're exactly the right size for you. Kendall started working on her body from early puberty. You've had a few more years of those male hormones working on you, and, as a result, your chest is a little bit bigger underneath your breasts." "Yeah, but this bra fits." "No, it's only close. Close enough so that you won't notice until you've worn it for awhile." "Are you sure?" Kendall said, "Your sister is right. Trust her and me on this. We've both been wearing bras a lot longer than you have." April said, "Okay, is everyone ready? It's still warm enough outside so we won't need coats. What we've got on will do." Lana said, "What about shoes? Can I borrow some heels?" Kendall and April both laughed lightly. "What so funny?" "Little sister, it's not even 9 A.M. yet. We're not likely to get home until well after five, and we're going to spend most of that time on our feet. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, plans on wearing and walking in heels for eight or nine hours." "Why not?" Kendall said, "Because it gets really painful." "If it gets so painful, why wear heels at all?" "Because they look nice, and they make us look nice. And before you make any comments about that, you need to realize that women do a lot of stuff just because it makes us look good." "Like makeup? Speaking of which..." "When do you get to start wearing it? When either your sister or I can sit down and teach you how to do it right. Do it wrong and you wind up looking like a clown." "Okay, but won't someone notice that I'm not wearing makeup?" "So what if they do?" "Won't they think it strange? Don't girls always wear some makeup?" "Not 24/7." April said, "Little sister, there are lots of times when girls go out without makeup. At least that was the case with me and my friends. If you're going to be a girl, you've got to learn not to be such a priss." Lana said, "Okay, but I still want to learn to use makeup." "First we've got to go check out the college, both to get familiar with it for classes and to pick up the parts for that scanner you need to build. Tomorrow will be more than soon enough to start teaching you about makeup." "Why can't we just do it later tonight?" "After a full day on campus I doubt any of us are going to want to go out shopping for makeup for you." "Can't you just teach me with your stuff?" "I can teach you the basics, but a lot of the stuff won't be any good to teach until we can get you some proper stuff for your skin color. You picked up more of dad's Nordic heritage in your genes. As a result, your coloration is a lot lighter than mine." "So that means your stuff won't work?" "It won't look right on you, bringing us back to the making you look like a clown thing. You do want to look nice, don't you?" "Well, sure-" "Then trust your big sister on this. Now let's go get you some new bras." With that issue settled for the time being the group went out and caught the bus to the mall that April had found. Once there they selected a few basic bras for Lana, and, after a few whispered words about how plain and ugly the new lingerie was, Lana headed off to the dressing rooms. When she was gone Kendall said, "You did a pretty good job of that, hiding your feelings and surface thoughts from Lana when you were talking about makeup. I think that, due to the excitement she was experiencing, Lana didn't sense a thing." "But you did?" "I sensed that something was wrong, but not exactly what. Are you worried about Lana jumping into this so strongly?" "No, well, not that much. I'm most worried about the costs of all this. Lana and I came here with enough money to cover expenses for a month, normal expenses, that is. Unless Lana decides she only wants to wear her old boy clothes and go for the tomboy look, which I'm sure she won't, then we could be in trouble. I'm pretty sure... Check that, I know we don't have enough to afford a new wardrobe for her." "Don't worry about that. I'll buy her new wardrobe. After all I'm the one who got you into this position in the first place. Until we can plan a good shopping trip she can borrow my clothes. I'm a little taller than her, but I like my clothes tight, so it fits on her." "Thanks, but are you sure you can afford it?" "Easily. I told you, I'm a great salesman. Of course that comes from being telepathic and knowing exactly what my customer wants and needs, even if they don't." "So what did you sell? Nothing illegal, I hope." "Of course not. I sold cars." "They let a teenager sell cars? It doesn't seem to me that people would trust a teenage girl selling them cars." "Well, with the right makeup, I can easily look like I'm in my early 20's. Combine that with a telepathic nudge here and there and I got along pretty well." "Great. But don't think that we're going to leech off of you. Me and my little sister are going to pull our own weight." "If you feel you have to, but don't be afraid to ask for help. That's what friends are for." After Lana returned Kendall paid for the new underwear, while April took her sister and found a bathroom, so that Lana could handle the built up excitement that had accrued while she was trying the new clothes on. When that was all said and done, they went and caught the bus back home to drop off the new clothes, then they caught the bus to the college. After touring the campus in order to familiarize themselves with it they went to the bookstore to buy books for their courses, and equipment for the scanner that Lana was going to build. Upon exiting the bookstore they were nearly run over by a tall short haired redhead. She excused herself and said, "My name is Lydia." April said, "Hi, my name is April, and this is my little sister, Lana, and our new friend and roommate, Kendall." After a couple quick "pleased to meet you"'s from Kendall and Lana, Lydia asked, "You new students here?" "Yeah, we're doing the whole orientation tour thing that they're offering." "I kind of figured that. Me, I'm a sophomore. Truth be told, if I had remembered that this was the day for the new student tours, then I probably would've come yesterday. I've had half a dozen near collisions like we just had." Lana asked, "Just with the students here? It doesn't seem like there's that many around. How do you get by with all the returning students during the rest of the year?" "Well, I suppose I am exaggerating a little. The problem right now is that the students really aren't going into any of the buildings. They're going from building to building and only going to a few locations. As a result the pathways between all the buildings are what are really packed. Once the school year gets started things will settle down a bit." "I suppose that makes sense." "Before I go in there, how packed is the bookstore? Will I have to struggle too much to get my books?" Kendall said, "It's pretty packed, but as long as you keep your wits about you, you should be okay." "Thanks. Are you girls going to be moving into any of the dorms?" "No, we've got a place of our own off campus." "Lucky you. You planning on rushing any of the sororities anyway? A few of them have their own housing for members, that's why I'm asking, but with you already having your own place, I guess that's not a big draw." "Personally I'm not much of a joiner. I hadn't planned on joining any of the sororities. I don't know about April and Lana though." "What about it? My sorority, Alpha Beta Gamma, has a few open slots, and you seem nice enough. You'd certainly have my vote for entry." April said, "I wasn't really planning on pledging a sorority. I promised mom that I'd look after Lana. Since there's no guarantees of both of us being accepted, any offer that didn't include both of us would just mean that I'd have to turn them down." Lana said, "Yeah, maybe they'd except me, but not you. Ever think of that?" "I suppose that's a possibility. Do you want to try to join?" Telepathically April sent, {Before you say yes, remember, if you get accepted, you may wind up getting physically close to your sorority sisters.} {That's kind of what I'm hoping for.} {I wasn't speaking close as in intimate. I was thinking close as in someone physically touching you, either intentionally or on accident, discovering what's in your panties, yelling about you being a guy, and you becoming the campus scandal by the end of the week.} Lana's face dropped. {I hadn't thought about that.} Lana said, "I guess not. Mom probably would be upset with you, and I don't wanna get you in trouble." Lydia said, "Well, you don't have to make a decision right away. My sorority is having a party on Friday. Why don't all three of you come? Then you can get a chance to see us before the pledging officially starts. Maybe I can change your mind about pledging. I'm also pretty sure that I can talk my sisters into accepting both of you." April said, "We'll see." Kendall said, "If we're not too busy, we'll try to swing by, if only to get to know some of our classmates. How do we get to your dorm?" Lydia said, "I've never been good at giving directions. Any of you got a piece of paper? I could draw you a map." "Sorry, no. You know your way around town?" "Pretty well, yeah." "If it's not too much trouble, if we give you our address, could you stop by and pick us up and escort us to the party? That way there's no danger of getting lost or anything." "Yes! I mean, I would be glad to come by and pick you up." "Great. Our address is 1587 Kennedy Drive. It's a nice blue house." "Great! I'll see you on Friday, say at about six?" "Is that when the party starts? Why don't you show up a little earlier than that? We can socialize a little bit and get to know one another." "Okay, then about 5 to 5:30 then. See you!" After Lydia ran into the bookstore Lana asked, "What was that about? There was no real way we could've gotten lost from even the worst directions. Why ask her to go out of the way and come pick us up?" Kendall said, "Well, if she really wants to start dating you, then I figure all three of us should get to know her in a more social setting." April said, "You should've asked me first. I'm not so sure about dating, yet." "Not so sure about dating, or not so sure about your sister dating?" "My sister dating, of course. She's not ready for it, yet." Lana said, "Hey! Wait a second! First off, stop talking about me like I'm not here! Secondly, what makes you think this girl is interested in me?" Both Kendall and April looked at Lana like she had just said something incredibly stupid. April said, "You really weren't paying attention, were you?" "Paying attention to what?" "To her surface thoughts and emotions." Kendall telepathically sent, {Switch to telepathy when discussing your new Baraandi abilities. There's no chance of being overheard that way.} Lana thought, {Okay, but what did you see in her surface thoughts that make you think she's interested in me?} April physically snorted, then thought, {And you chide me for not knowing and using my new abilities?} {Fine, I missed it. What did I miss?} Kendall thought, {First, the girl intended to run into you. Only your psychic awareness of the environment around you kept that from happening. Second, she kept undressing you with her eyes. I'm surprised you didn't notice that, even if you weren't paying attention to her thoughts. Third, when she invited us to the party, her main thought was of slow dancing with you. Fourth, if we hadn't accepted her invitation, she was fully prepared to ask you out to the movies. No doubt about it. That girl is hot for your bod.} Lana thought, {That is so cool!} April thought, {Maybe. Too bad you're going to have to turn her down.} {Why?! She seems like a nice enough girl, and you were a few months younger than I am when you started dating.} {My first date was with a boy who's only four months older than I was. Lydia is over four years older than you. And if that's not enough reason, you have the extra added complication of what's in your panties, and don't blame me for that, you were the one who decided on what you look like.} {Yeah, but those problems aren't going to go away. If I don't at least try, I'll never date!} April felt herself mellow when she heard the real despair in her sister's voice. Kendall thought, {I think you both need to mellow out. As far as we know, as soon she finds out how old Lana is, Lydia may very well decide not to go any further.} April questioned, {And what if she does?} {Then you'll be able to check her out to see how far she's willing to take it. If necessary, you can use your telepathy to give her the once over.} Lana said, {Ladies, we better move over. People are starting to point and talk about the three of us just staring at each other.} Kendall said aloud, "So how about we stop by the cafeteria and get something to eat. I'm starved," then telepathically, {We can talk as we walk.} As they walked April said, {So what do we do if Lydia decides she wants to start a relationship despite the age difference?} {You do what any concerned guardian or parent would do. You check her out. Then, if she seems okay, you step back and watch from a distance.} Lana said, {Hey, I'm not some little kid! I can look after myself!} April said, {Ha! You never dated before in your life, and now you're talking about dating a college girl? When I went out on my first date, mom and dad knew the parents of my date for years, and they still did a job of checking him out. Consider yourself lucky that Kendall found us and bonded us with the Baraandi. Otherwise, dating a college girl wouldn't even be an option.} {Yeah, well what if I decide to go date her anyway? You're not mom, you know.} {You know perfectly well that mom told me to look after you while we were here. Mom also said for you to listen to and obey me.} Kendall interrupted, {Enough! You both need to chill! April, Lana is neither a child nor an idiot. She's old enough to be thinking for herself.} Lana said, {Yeah!} {And you, Lana, need to realize that both your sister and I have more experience with this dating thing, and your sister is just trying to protect you. You should be making most of the decisions in your life yourself, but don't let your desire for this, or your anger towards your sister for her concern override that intellect that you're so proud of.} April said, {Yeah!} {Now when we get to the cafeteria, I wanna see both of you two give each other a big sisterly hug.} Both April and Lana said together, {Excuse me?!} Lana said, {I'm not hugging her!} April said, {Ditto.} Kendall said, {That's because you two are still thinking of each other like you were brother-sister. When I was first trying to pass as a girl, I scanned a lot of women of all ages to pick up the habits. Yes, sisters do get into arguments, but they're also more affectionate towards each other. A lot of women are like that. Tell me, April, if you just made up with one of your friends back home, what would the two of you have done?} {Probably would have given her a light hug.} {Then that's what you need to do here. You had a fight, so hug each other and make up.} {But no one heard our fight!} {Irrelevant. You two need to act like you're sisters all the time, so there's no slipping at times when people will notice. Look, I'm not asking for you to give each other big, sloppy kisses. It's just a little hug. In fact, let me take over your bodies for a few seconds.} Both April and Lana said, {What? Why?} {Because you do need to hug each other, but a strained, forced hug might be worse than nothing at all. Don't worry; I'll only make it for a second or two.} Lana said, {I don't know.} {Lana, you in particular need this. Your sister was raised with the idea of being more open and more emotional. You need to get into the habit of doing what other girls would do, particularly when you don't feel comfortable about it. Now relax, both of you.} After a bit of grumbling, April and Lana did relax and let Kendall make them hug each other. It was a one-armed, friendly hug that they could do as they walked. The two sisters kept their arms around each other until they walked into the cafeteria when April asked, {How long do we have to keep this up?} Kendall replied, {I let you go after less than a second. Everything you did after that was all you.} {You should've said something.} As April started to remove her arm, Lana said, {You don't have to do that. I really don't mind it.} April heard a lot more than just the words and said, {You don't really want me to remove it, do you?} Lana was silent for a few seconds, then said, {Not really, no. This is nice. Not that I'm implying anything. Before, even though I didn't hang out much with boys my own age, I still wasn't supposed to hug my sister, not unless mom made me. Being able to hold you and be held by you without it meaning anything else... It's just nice.} {Okay, I suppose we can keep this up until we find a seat, but we will have to let go eventually.} {Eventually. But not right now.} {You really were lonely, weren't you?} {More than you know.} They found a table in the rather packed cafeteria, and the two sisters finally separated. They set their sacks of books down and Kendall said, "Probably be best if just one of us got the food." April said, "I'll go. What does everyone want?" "A burger for me." Lana said, "Just a salad for me. A girl's got to watch her figure." After April headed off, Kendall said, {So on to bigger stuff. Did you get everything you need for that scanner?} {Yeah.} {Did it cost all that much?} Lana snorted. {Hardly. This is a pretty basic scanner. It takes a little bit of engineering know how, but it's not really complex. It has convinced me of one thing, though. Going for a degree in physics would be a waste of time.} {Why is that?} {First, because everything human physics knows could be encapsulated in the first 30% of what a Baraandi scientist has to know, and my Baraandi self was incredibly well trained. Second, human physics gets some things really wrong.} {Like what?} {Oh, admittedly, most of the mistakes are in stuff that's theoretical for humans, atomic and subatomic physics mostly, but some stuff humans just get wrong.} {Like what?} {Like the speed of light being an absolute maximum for velocity for anything moving in the physical universe or the universality of gravity and granitic effects.} {Well, that explains the strange looks I got from my science teacher in high-school.} {Why is that?} {Well, figuring that he had nothing to teach me, I didn't really pay attention in class. When I took my tests, I based my answers on my Baraandi knowledge. If you're telling me that human knowledge thinks it's right where it's really wrong, that would explain the strange looks, not to mention the C I got in that class.} April returned and asked, "So anything in particular going on?" Kendall said, "Just sitting here doing some thinking." The three of them sat down to their meal and chatted (out loud) about their upcoming classes, as well as some other innocuous stuff to fill up some time. As they talked a couple of hippie twin girls, girls who looked like they walked right out of the sixties, walked up carrying a couple trays of food. The first girl asked, "Could we, like, share your space in a mutually copasetic arrangement?" sounding like she was actively strung out on drugs. The other girl slugged her sister in the arm. "Knock it off." Then to Kendall, April and Lana she said, "Seriously, you mind if we squeeze in here on your table? The cafeteria is really packed." April said, "Sure. Have a seat. My name is April. This is my sister, Lana, and our friend, Kendall." The girl who seemed to have her senses about her pointed to the girl who was acting like she was a druggie and said, "This is Alexandra, and my name is Theresa." As the two sat down, Lana asked, "So what's with the whole spaced out act, assuming it's an act." Alexandra giggled and said, "Yes, it's an act." Theresa said, "Alexandra is fond of playing up the hippie stereotype. She figures that just because we're wearing the clothes, that she needs to pretend like she's a real sixties radical." April asked, "Then why do you wear the clothes?" Slipping into her spaced out role, Alexandra said, "Because, it's, like, who we are, man." Theresa lightly backhanded her sister and said, "Would you stop that? I'd like for at least a couple people to get to know us before you start making everyone think we're a couple of sixties throwbacks. In answer to your question, it started in high-school. Our high-school went through a retro phase where sixties clothes and such were what was in, so we got into mom's old stuff (she was a real sixties radical) and started wearing that." Alexandra said, "We found we like wearing all this stuff. It really is kind of who we are now." The five girls sat and chatted for a while. They found out that Alexandra and Theresa were in the campus dorms. There was a bit of friendly jealousy when the two found out that the others had their own house, and Alexandra made a few spaced out offers of "free love" if they would let her and her sister move in, to which she was promptly slapped by her sister. After about half an hour Lana projected, {I've got to go use the bathroom.} April asked, {You need an escort for your first foray into a public women's room?} {No, I need someone to cover me. I need to, uhm, do what I did earlier while I was getting dressed. The earlier run in with Lydia combined with these two hot girls sitting right across from me has got me...} {Rather excited?} {Yes!} Kendall said aloud, "Well, we've got to get going. We've still got a lot of moving in to do. It was great to meet you." They all said some quick goodbyes, and Lana, April, and Kendall headed out of the cafeteria. Once clear of the eating area, Kendall asked, "Where's the nearest bathroom?" April, who had the most powerful senses, said, "That won't work. The nearest bathroom has a line." As Lana whimpered in need, Kendall asked, "Where is the nearest bathroom where we might be able to get a modicum of privacy?" April scanned the entire campus, then said, "All the way across campus. Damn! This place is packed today!" "More packed than I counted on. Getting all the way across campus in this crowd might actually take longer than getting home." "It probably would. I'm sensing a bus coming right along our route now. If we move fast, we can catch it." Lana whimpered, "I don't think I can make either." Kendall said to April, "I think we can make it, but you and I will have to help Lana." April asked, "What do we have to do?" "It's called a bio-link. We attach our biology to hers and divert away some of that excess energy into ourself. It'll mean we'll have to wind up doing what she is planning on doing, but at least we'll get her home without her losing control or hurting herself." "Okay, how do we do this?" "Just take her hand. Then reach out mentally and draw off some of her energy. The knowledge of how to do that is in your memories." April took one of Lana's hands, and Kendall took the other. They both diverted some of the Lana's sexual energy into them, giving Lana an immediate reduction of sexual need. They immediately ran for the bus, doing their best to juggle their packages as they went. They managed to catch the bus in time, although just barely. Once seated Lana closed her eyes, so as to avoid any other sensations that might excite her. April and Kendall kept hold of her hands in order to continue to assist her, absorbing what they could into their own bodies. By the time they got home all three girls were incredibly high strung with sexual energy. As soon as they were off the bus they ran straight for their house. Lana was the first through the door and tossed the packages she was carrying down as soon she could. Kendall and April both ran into the house, intending to go into their separate rooms, but instead they tripped over the packages that Lana had dropped and fell together onto the floor. Without even getting up April slid her hands up underneath Kendall's sweater and started playing with Kendall's breasts. Kendall just moaned and then tried to get her pants open and off. When it turned out that they were too closely pressed together for her to get her fingers down there, Kendall instead used her telekinesis to remove both her own and April's pants and panties. Once naked from the waist down they pressed together and Kendall's cock slid into April's cunt. As Kendall began to move in and out of April their lips found each other, kissing and licking whatever was available. They rolled on their side, and Kendall's hands found April's breasts. They moved together as one in a motion that was both savage and gentle. Finally, with an intense scream of passion, they came together in mutual orgasm. As the passion they were feeling subsided, they stared at each other, not even sure what they were feeling, much less what to say. The silence was broken when they heard Lana call out, "Oh, God! I don't need to know that my sister is doing THAT! Next time put up a screen!" With the tension broken April and Kendall both gave a brief snort of muffled laughter. Kendall said, "I'm sorry. I guess the energy we were absorbing from Lana overwhelmed me." April asked, "Was that all it was, just the energy? Don't you find me attractive? Desirable?" "Oh, God, yes! I've wanted you since I first laid eyes on you, and I know that you wanted me at first as well, but ever since I bonded you with Quillthana, you've purposefully held yourself back. I figured you resented me for not discussing what I did with you first, not that I could blame you." "It wasn't resentment so much as confusion. Although I've never actually engaged in lesbian sex, I have on many occasions felt strong desires towards women. With you, it was particularly intense. But then you bonded me, and everything got turned up a notch. Quillthana loved the captain very much. The problem was, you're not the captain, and I'm not the helmsman. They may be a part of us, but they're not all of us. Since I couldn't differentiate between his feelings and mine..." "You withheld everything until you could sort out your feelings. I do understand, but now what? Thanks to that extra energy we absorbed, our rational senses were overridden. We can't just pretend it didn't happen, and I can't handle a maybe. Despite all the extra strength the captain gave me, I need to know either yes, we will have a relationship, or no, we won't. I'm sorry for making that demand, but-" "No, I understand. But the only way we can make that decision quickly would be to go through the ceremony of revelations." Both knew the ceremony of revelations from their Baraandi memories. It would allow participants to learn everything about one another in a way that their bodies' emotions wouldn't interfere and cloud their judgment. Captains of the Baraandi fleet were required to go through the ceremony with their immediate subordinates, so that, in high stress, emergency situations, they would know what each person was capable of, and how they could be expected to perform. "Are you sure you want to do that? The ceremony will allow us to learn everything about one another, but it's not entirely without consequences. Baraandi command crews became like family. The captain was closer to his bridge crew than to anyone." "I know. I figured that the ceremony will either turn us into lovers or close sisters. I figure we'll win either way." "Or perhaps the ceremony will show us that there's no way we can ever work together, no matter how hard we try; the very knowledge of how incompatible we are making that assured." "Not gonna happen." "How can you be so sure?" "Because even before I was bonded, I was a pretty good judge of human character, and I have seen nothing, before or since, that would lead me to believe that we're not going to be the best of friends." April disentangled herself and stood up. She extended her hand to Kendall and said, "C'mon. We can do this in my room." Kendall took her hand, stood up, and the two of them walked together to April's room. Inside the first thing they did was set powerful screens by weaving their power together to block out external distractions. Their powers flowed together easily, like oil and vinegar in a salad dressing. It was a good sign. Had they not been able to work together even to create the screens necessary to shield their senses, the ceremony itself would have been a waste of time. Once the screens were finished they got completely undressed, climbed up on the bed, sat cross-legged facing each other, and took each other's hands. Their souls reached out to each other, meeting on a plane far higher than their physiological reactions could ever touch, and they began an intensive review of each other's lives starting from the day of their Baraandi birth. In her own room Lana felt the screens go up and knew what was going on. After all she had been listening in. She was also ecstatic that the two had chosen April's room to do the ceremony in. Lana knew that the ceremony would totally overwhelm their senses, and a marching band could probably parade through the room and they wouldn't notice, but she felt more at ease thinking about what she wanted to do in a room that had no one in it. As soon as she was sure that April and Kendall were thoroughly enmeshed in the ceremony, Lana carefully snuck out of her room and went into Kendall's. She quickly found the suitcase that contained the Baraandi crystals, put it on Kendall's bed, and opened it up. She scanned the crystals, looking for one in particular. When she found it she telekinetically lifted it out of the suitcase, and then snatched it from the air like she was afraid it would disappear at any moment. After carefully stuffing the crystal into her cleavage under her bra (the only thing she was wearing), Lana closed the suitcase and returned it where she had found it. She then quickly and quietly returned to her room and got dressed, moving the crystal only to insure that it would neither come loose nor be seen by someone else, no matter how closely they looked at her. The crystal was dearer to Engineer Costhenofa than life itself, and thus it was just as dear to Lana. She went out to the kitchen, glad that Kendall had thought to have the phone hooked up when they moved in. After calling for a pizza she thought about who she might be able to get as a host. The only people she had met and gotten to know even slightly personally were Lydia and the twins, any of whom would be a suitable host, but Lana wanted the choice to fall on Lydia. She was hot. NOON, THE NEXT DAY... April and Kendall walked into the kitchen hand in hand, totally naked, and giggling like schoolgirls. Lana was waiting for them, fully dressed, with screens up around her body just outside of her clothing, eating a slice of cold pizza from the night before. Seeing the half-open pizza box, April commented, "God, I didn't realize how hungry I was!" April and Kendall both reached into the box, grabbed a piece of pizza, and began stuffing their faces. Lana said, "I'm not surprised. Neither of you had anything to eat since yesterday afternoon." Kendall said, "We were a little busy. We decided to go through the ceremony of revelations." April said, "Sorry for leaving you without dinner, but I see you managed on your own." After taking another bite of pizza, she said, "I just wish you hadn't ordered mushrooms." Lana said, "Hey, I like them. You weren't there. Suffer." "I guess I'll just have to do that." April then leaned over and gave Lana a friendly kiss on top of her head. Kendall slid her arm around April's waist and said, "There's something we want to tell you." Lana said, "Let me guess. You to have decided to start a relationship, a romantic one, I mean." "How'd you guess?" Putting a tone of fake stupidity in her voice, Lana said, "Oh, gee, I don't know. Could it be the hand holding and stupid giggling as you walked in, or maybe it's the fact that even now you got your arm wrapped around her like you never want to let her go? C'mon! It doesn't take a genius." "Okay, okay, it was a stupid question, but there is something else we wanted to ask you." "Okay, go ahead and ask." "We just went through the ceremony of revelations, and now we'd like to go through a three way ceremony with you. We'll be needing to work together to have any hope of saving this planet from the Larkoss. We need to know what each other are capable of." "Makes sense. How about we do it this weekend?" April asked, "Why not right now?" "Two main reasons: one, I want to take time to sort through all of my Baraandi memories before I go through a ceremony that reveals all of those memories to someone else, and two, just the two of you going through that ceremony took around 18 hours; a 3 way ceremony would probably take between a day and two; that means a good chance of missing the sorority party tomorrow; at the very least, we wouldn't be able to shop for any new clothes for me. No offense, Kendall. I do love your taste in clothes, but I'd like a set of my own." Kendall said, "She's got a point. What say we make a day of it? The three of us can go out and do our best to strip the malls bare." April said, "Why don't you two go alone? Since we're not going to do the ceremony, there is something else that I'd like to do." Kendall had felt shields go up around April's thoughts, so she had no idea what April was thinking, which only served to make her more curious. "What are you planning?" April just smiled. "It's a surprise. Don't worry, I know you'll like it." "Okay, I trust you, but you know this is go
