Preface
Magician's Assistant - Friends & Lovers takes place
in the Magatrix the Magnificent Universe, which was first
introduced in my serialized seven-part story, Magician's
Assistant. The premise upon which both that story and this
story are based revolves around the fact that Magatrix the
Magnificent has been reprimanded by the ethics review board
of the Magician's Guild, and thereby constrained from
continuing to use handsome young males as her stage
assistants. Due to a little known codicil buried deep
within the guild's arcane bylaws, should a performing
member elect to avail themselves of a stage assistant or
assistants, said stage assistant(s) must be: one, young;
two, beautiful; and three, female. Outraged by the ruling
of her guild's review board, Magatrix elects to adhere to
the letter of the Magician Guild's bylaws, while
sidestepping its spirit. Magatrix the Magnificent, via the
use of real magic, has elected to sidestep the spirit of
the outdated codicil by asking for male volunteers from the
audience to come up and join her on stage, whereupon she
magically transforms the unsuspecting gentlemen into her
lovely female stage assistants.
Normally, Magatrix restores these magically feminized
volunteer assistants of hers to their former manly
physiques at the completion of her act. However, for
reasons known only to herself, upon occasion, Magatrix
sometimes elects to maintain her assistants in their
feminine personas for the remainder of the evening, and at
times, well into the fullness of the night. Generally, when
Magatrix selects this expanded stint as a female option of
hers, she modifies her sexual transmogrification spell in
such a way as to cause the transsexualized young gentleman
to automatically regain his manhood at the dawning of the
following day.
Generally, when Magatrix chooses to expand one of her
volunteer assistant's tenure as a bona fide member of the
opposite sex, she further modifies her transsexualization
spell to include some very powerful subliminal inducements
that tend to function much the way posthypnotic suggestions
might. Magatrix does this in order to make it easier for
the sexually transmogrified male to continue to function as
the woman he has been turned into by drastically
downplaying, or completely eliminating the ignominy factor
involved in operating for a time as a woman. For instance,
Magatrix usually continues to negate the residual and
telltale awkwardness that would normally beset most men
ensconced in a well-endowed woman's body. She achieves this
by incorporating several magical subroutines within her
expanded spell in order to compensate for the marked shift
in weight distribution. That, in turn, directly impacts on
the sexually transmogrified individual's new center of
gravity, thereby making it easy for her sexually
transmogrified assistants to maneuver about in a pair of
stiletto heels.
Since Magatrix the Magnificent's magic act has not
substantially altered from that which was described in my
previous story, Magician's Assistant 1: The Performance, I
have elected to begin Magician's Assistant - Friends &
Lovers shortly after Magatrix has brought her evening's
performance to its conclusion. In other words, the foremost
male protagonist of this story, one Michael Gerlach, begins
this story as the woman Magatrix has turned him into
earlier in the evening. However, for those who might be
interested in reading (or possibly rereading) a description
of Magatrix's magical act, in which the initial
transsexualization of birthday boy Jeff Gibson takes place,
I encourage them to read Magician's Assistant 1: The
Performance, which can be accessed elsewhere on this site.
Synopsis of Preceding Chapters
Chapter 1 began with a conversation that occurred
while the ultra feminized Michael Gerlach was dancing with
his best friend, John Larsen. Having first discussed Mike's
impressions of what it was like to be a woman, Mike
continues on to tell John about of some of the more unusual
aspects of transsexualization spell that she is operating
under. Then, having admitted that she finds herself sexual
attracted to John, Mike encourages John to kiss her. One
kiss leads to another, whereupon a very turned-on Mike
beseeches John to make love to her. At that point Magatrix
joins the conversation and offers the two of them the use
of one of her hotel suite's bedrooms.
In Chapter 2, we joined the couple just prior to
Mike's first multi-orgasmic experience as a woman, via
John's selfless act of oral sex. Following that, the two
then go on to share their impressions. Then, to John's
amazement, Mike informs her friend that what she wants is
to experience what it feels like to have his manhood
nestled snugly up insider her. John, after a little coaxing
on Mike's part, is more than happy to oblige her.
Chapter 3 picks up where Chapter 2 left off, with
Mike quickly losing her virginity as the two friends engage
in their first act of carnal sex. Then, after they have
somewhat recuperated from their love making session,
another intimate conversation ensues in which John and Mike
begin to tentatively explore how their feelings toward one
another may have changed, in light of Mike's temporary and
magical transsexualization. Another love making sessions
follows, in which John, in the heat of his passion, utters
those three little words that not only have a marked
tendency to scare the bejesus out of people, but can prove
absolutely disastrous to a relationship, terminating it
with but their mere utterance.
In Chapter 4, having acknowledged the fact that they
are indeed in love with one another, John and Mike begin to
seriously examine the pros and cons of a life together as
man and wife. Finally, after a good deal of discussion,
Mike informs John that she wants nothing more than to
remain a woman and become not only his wife, but the mother
of his children as well. The chapter ended with Mike asking
John to go get Magatrix so that she could prevail upon the
magician to make her sexual reassignment a permanent one.
Chapter 5 began with John regrettably informing Mike
that Magatrix has not returned to her hotel suite as yet.
Then, having reconfirmed the fact that she dearly would
like to remain the woman that the magician has turned her
into, Mike, in an effort to make the most of her remaining
time as a girl, enticed John into making love to her again.
Afterward, aware that dawn was quickly approaching, and
with Magatrix still a no-show, the two adopted a plan to
wait the magician out.
Chapter 6 began with dawn quickly approaching, and
Magatrix still not having put in an appearance at her hotel
suite. Aware that Mike would shortly revert back to being a
man again, the two friends decided that it would be best
for them to shower and dress separately. While in the
shower, Mike played a fast and furious game of grabass with
herself. Then, having dressed herself, Mike changed back
into his former manly self. He then linked up with John in
the suite's sitting room, whereupon the two proceeded to
head down to the hotel's restaurant.
In Chapter 7, we find that Magatrix the Magnificent
has joined John and Mike, soon after their arrival in the
hotel's restaurant. Shortly thereafter, having made several
easily met demands of the friends, Magatrix changes Mike
back into the vivacious young woman he spent the night as.
Then, urged by the magician to select a new, feminine name
for herself, Mike chooses the name Nicole. Whereupon,
Magatrix takes it upon herself to explain how easy it will
be for Nicole to assume her new identity.
Chapter 8 began with Magatrix asking if Nicole could
see her way clear to assisting her with a couple of benefit
shows. Then, spurred on by John's insightful comment about
how Nicole is not the only one who seems to take an
inordinate amount of pleasure out of being a girl, the
magician complies by graciously admitting that she did not
start off life as a female. She then continues on to tell
her story of how she ended up turning herself into a woman
in order to become a first class magic user.
Chapter 9 started with Magatrix filling John and
Nikki in on a third and rather unique variation of the
creation story that she had the singular opportunity to
peruse at the Vatican. From there, the magician continued
on to explain about soulmates, and just why she selected
Michael out of the audience to serve as her lovely stage
assistant.
Chapter 10 opened with Magatrix, Nicole and John back
in the magician's hotel suite, with Magatrix recounting the
tale of how she had to restart her career as a stage
magician once she had magically transformed herself into a
woman. Having heard Magatrix tell them the story of how she
got her comeuppance with the thin-skinned magician that had
turned her in to the Magician Guild's ethics review board
for employing male stage assistants, John and Nicole take
their leave of Magatrix, and head back to Nikki's house in
separate cars. There, Nicole gets her first taste of the
effectiveness of Magatrix's identity adaptation spell.
Chapter 11
The former Michael Gerlach continued to function as
Magatrix the Magnificent's lovely stage assistant for the
remainder of the red headed magician's stint at the local
magic club. By doing so, Nicole and John continued to
broaden the bond of friendship that had been born that
pivotal Saturday morning. It was also during that rather
truncated period of time that Magatrix started Nicole on
the long road to one day becoming a first class magic user
in her own right. To do so, Magatrix provided her protegee
with some transcendental meditation exercises that would
help Nicole to eventually gain the mental dexterity that
would allow her to access the pool of metaphysical
potential, that would in turn, earn her the classification
of sorceress.
Though she would eventually come to take the memory
augmentation business in her stride, in those early days
and weeks of her new life as a bona fide, card-carrying
member of the fairer sex, Nicole never ceased to be amazed
with the ease at which people accepted her as the woman
into which Magatrix had turned her. Occasionally, though it
was sketchy at best, Nicole thought she detected an
indication that the memory-overwrite was indeed taking
place. An almost imperceptible slurring or slight
hesitation in someone's speech patterns was one indicator.
The fluttering of the eyes was yet another.
Though she procrastinated doing so for several days,
Nicole finally called her mother the following Tuesday.
After apologizing for not stopping in to see her parents on
Sunday as she did more times than not, Nicole informed her
mother that she had something important that she needed to
discuss with both her parents. Without prying very much,
her mother proceeded to ask Nicole if she would like to
stay and have dinner with the two of them. Nicole replied
that she'd love to, if that invitation might also be
extended to include her friend, John. That comment of
Nicole's led to her mother then asking the obvious
question, "So, am I to take it that after all these years
the two of you have known one another, you've finally come
to your senses and realized that you're perfect for each
another?"
Hemmed in as she was, Nicole could only answer, "Yes,
mother. We have."
"Good! It's about time! Fact is, as far as I'm
concerned, it's way past time! So, when's the wedding?"
"Mom!" Nikki's voice was iced with the raw edge of
sternness. "How 'bout we discuss that when John and I come
over on Sunday?"
"Nicole..." Nicole's mother's voice noticeably
moderated. Instead of conveying a sense of joyful
anticipation as it had but a moment before, it was laden
with an uneasy sense of apprehension. "You're not getting
married because you have to, are you, dear?"
"No, Mom. You needn't fear on that account. I'm not
pregnant. John and I are getting married because we want
to, not because we have to."
"I'm glad to hear that, dear, you know, because even
though your dad and I dearly want to become grandparents
one of these days, you and John need some time to
yourselves before thinking about starting a family..."
***
Nicole waited until all four of them had finished
with their desert before she told her parents the truth
about what had occurred the week before. Though both were
astonished and flabbergasted initially, not to mention a
little discombobulated due to the residual side-effects of
the full restoration of their prior memories, the Gerlach's
handled the news that their one and only son was now their
one and old daughter quite amicably. Though at first
somewhat at a loss for words, Nicole's mother was overjoyed
with the turn of events. She had always wanted a daughter,
and now that she had one, she was bound and determined to
make the best of it, even if that daughter of hers had once
been her son. Plus, as an extra bonus of sorts, thrown into
the mix so as to sweeten the deal, as the mother of the
bride-to-be, she had a wedding to help plan and coordinate.
Though he endeavored to hide the fact, Nicole's
father, thinking that he had lost his favorite fishing
buddy, wasn't anywhere near as enthusiastic about the
bizarre turn of events as was his wife.
Later that afternoon, when the opportunity presented
itself for Nikki to confront her Dad out in the garage
alone, she pointedly demanded, "Okay, Dad. You've done your
duty. You've placated Mom, and you've tried to placate me.
But, I know you better than you know yourself, and I know
there's something that's bugging you about all of this, and
I'd like to know exactly what it is. So, come on, Dad.
Instead of bottling everything up inside of you like you
usually do, what say we get whatever it is that's bothering
you out in the open. That way, we can hash it all out and
get past whatever it is that's bugging you."
He just stared at her, unwavering.
"Look, Dad! For the sake of everybody involved,
especially Mom, we need to deal with this, and we need to
deal with this now!"
Though it took a good deal of coaxing, plus a few
rather pointed threats on Nicole's behave, she eventually
managed to cajole her father's misgivings out of him.
Though there were a whole bunch of side issues thrown into
the mix, basically, what it all boiled down to was that her
Dad wasn't all that happy about having to find himself
another fishing buddy.
"Look, dad, if that's what you're worried about,
don't let it bother you."
"You mean to tell me that even though you're a girl
now, you still want to go fishing with me?" An ominous
feeling of doubt still lingered in the subjective nooks and
crannies of her father's tone of voice.
"Yes, Dad! That's exactly what I'm telling you! Look,
I may be your daughter now, but that doesn't mean that I
don't want to still go fishing with you!"
"Aw... you're just saying that to make me feel better
about all of this."
"No, Dad, I'm not! I honestly still want to go
fishing with you! You've got to understand something here,
Dad. While I might look like a girl, and act like a girl,
and even talk like a girl, I'm nowhere near as much of a
girl as I appear to be. In other words, Dad, up here in
this old noggin of mine, there's a hell a lot more of the
old male me, than the new female me!"
"Really?" There was still a lingering tinge of
skepticism laced throughout the timbre of Patrick Gerlach's
gravelly voice.
"Yes! Really! In fact, just to prove to you that what
I'm telling you is true, why don't the two of us plan on
going fishing next Saturday?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, Dad! I am."
"What about John? I mean, he enjoys fishing as much
as the two us do."
"That's true. John does like to fish. Tell you what,
Dad. John can join us some other time. Next week, given
that this is the first time you'll be taking this new
daughter of yours fishing with you, how 'bout we make it
just the two of us? That way, Dad, if you or I want to talk
further about any of this shit, we can do so in private.
That's to say that as it stands right now, I would prefer
it if it was just the two of us, Dad. Look! If you're
worried about John's feelings, don't. He'll understand
perfectly. Besides, there'll be plenty more weekends for
him to join us, okay?
"Look, Dad, I'm sure you have a whole shit load of
questions. I mean, if I were you and you were me, I sure as
hell would want to know why my son all of sudden opted out
of the manhood gig only to dive headfirst into unfathomable
depths of the feminine mystique. The only thing I ask is
for you to understand that I might not have the answers for
all of your questions as yet. All I know right now is that
this girl-thing feels right to me, and that John and I were
somehow meant to be together. He loves me, Dad! He really,
really loves me!
"And - God help me! - though he can be a real
asshole, not to mention, a pain in the ass sometimes, I
love him as much as he loves me! Truth is, Dad, I love him
so much it almost hurts."
Compassionately stepping forward and enfolding his
daughter in those massive, construction worker arms of his,
Patrick Gerlach sympathetically intoned, "I know, kitten...
I know..."
***
Given that John still had an apartment, whereas
Nicole was in the income taxing process of purchasing the
townhouse in which she lived with those two precocious cats
of hers, the decision as to where the two of them would
live was basically a no-brainer. Starting on day one of
Nicole's new life as a woman, John began the gradual
process of relocating his belongings. Within a month,
having jumped at the opportunity to sublet his apartment to
his younger brother, John was completely moved in with
Nikki.
Nicole's mother, Pam Gerlach, was in her glory. Not
only did she relish the fact that she now had a daughter to
do girl-things with, but more importantly, she had that new
daughter of hers wedding to plan. Nikki, given that those
manly thought processes of hers made the planning of the
actual affair an irksome and irritating drudgery, did the
smart thing. She simply outlined what kind of wedding she
wanted, and put her mother in touch with Magatrix to let
the two of them hammer out all the details.
Not only was John and Nicole's wedding relatively
inexpensive, but given the fact that Magatrix was involved,
it was sheer enchantment.
Right from the outset, there had been a clear
division of responsibilities. Pam Gerlach, working in
conjunction with John's mother, Ruth, was to compile what
turned out to be a quite extensive guest list, secure the
park pavilion, and coordinate who would be bringing what
covered dishes to the picnic-like reception that would
commence once the actual wedding ceremony concluded. The
task of building the two trellises that Magatrix requested
fell to Nicole's Dad. One would be elongated, as it would
serve as a tunnel-like entrance portico that the bride and
her bridesmaids would pass through. The other would be more
in the line of a latticework arbor, in that it would serve
as the canopy under which the happy couple would exchange
their vows of fidelity, before God and man.
John and Nicole had only five things to which they
had to attend. One, they had to secure a priest to preside
over the ceremony. Two, they had to choose the members of
their wedding party. Three, they had to purchase wedding
rings. Four, they had to apply for a marriage license. And,
five, they had to show up on the day of their wedding.
Everything else was being take care of for them, and that,
as far as Nikki was concerned, was perhaps the greatest
wedding present anyone could ever give them.
Throughout the planning stages, Magatrix repeatedly
assured Nicole's mother that she would take care of not
only outfitting the wedding party, but would be providing
all the flowers and wedding favors and the like. Naturally,
Pam Gerlach was extremely dubious of the magician's claims,
to the point that she was beginning to panic, thinking that
the wedding would turn out to be an abysmal failure.
Nicole, aware that her mother was coming dangerously
close to losing it, took the preemptive measure of
contacting Magatrix and asking the magician if there was
any way that she could help to relieve her mother's
concerns. Magatrix, with several bridal magazines in hand,
literally 'popped in' on Pam Gerlach and her husband the
following evening. Then, without so much as a by-your-leave
or mother-may-I, Magatrix, employing the no nonsense
approach, with a flourish of her hand turned Nicole's Dad
into splitting image of that new daughter of his. Having
accomplished that, over the obvious and incessant
objections raised by a thoroughly bewildered Patrick
Gerlach, Magatrix began to casually flip through the pages
of one of the bridal magazines she had brought with her.
Currently, as she did so, the clothing that Nicole's Dad
was wearing began to morph, changing from one gown into
another in the dazzling and mind-boggling blink of an eye.
Needless to say, Nicole's Mom was rendered thoroughly
flabbergasted with the demonstration of Magatrix's magical
abilities. She was also keenly aware that as far as the
wedding was concerned, there was absolutely nothing to get
herself worked-up or worried about. With Magatrix on hand
to deal with any oversights that might crop up, Pam Gerlach
felt assured that her daughter's upcoming wedding was to be
the most wonderful wedding there ever was.
Besides allaying Pam Gerlach's misgivings, Magatrix's
unexpected visit netted some unintended consequences.
Nicole's father, while not wishing to repeat what he took
to be the ignominy of the experience of his brief tenure as
a member of the opposite sex, gained an insight that in
turn led to an appreciation of his daughter's decision to
remain the girl she had become.
***
Magatrix arrived in town a week and a half prior to
the wedding, so as to be able to attend some of the pre-
wedding festivities. Though John and Nicole would have
loved her to stay with them, the magician deferred,
informing the two of them that she had already accepted an
invitation to lodge with the Gerlach's.
"John," the magician casually intoned at the
Gerlach's dinner table on her first evening in town, "how
would you like me to fix it so that you can go along with
Nicole and I and attend her bachelorette party Friday
night?"
Seeking clarification, John sheepishly replied, "You
mean, as a girl?"
"Well, since the party's a girls only affair, of
course I mean as a girl," Magatrix countered with an
infectious giggle. "I mean, you sure as hell can't go as a
guy, now can you?"
"No, I guess I can't, at that..."
Then, after thinking it over for a second or so, John
tenderly placed his hand on Nicole's and asked what he
presumed to be the crucial question. "What do you say,
sweetheart? Do you want me there or not? I mean, I'm up for
it, if you are. However, please understand, the last thing
I want to do is to horn in. So, as far as I'm concerned,
the decision is yours to make. Look, it won't hurt my
feelings any if you don't want me there. But, if you do
want me to, shall we say, tag along, it would be my
pleasure to do so. And, if that means that I have to let
Magatrix turn me into a girl for the night, so be it."
Unable to contain herself, Nikki jubilantly
exclaimed, "You'd actually do that for me? You'd actually
become a girl for the night in order to attend my
bachelorette party?"
"Of course I would, Nikki. Of course I would..."
A few minutes later, Magatrix turned her attention on
Mrs. Gerlach. "So, what do you say, Pam? Would you like to
attend as well?"
"Oh, no! Not me! I think I'm a little too old for a
night of fun and frivolity. That's to say that, as much as
I'd like to come, were I to put in appearance, I'd probably
put a damper on the whole affair. And, the last thing I
want to do is to be the one to spoil my daughter's last,
and no doubt, one and only night out on the town as a
single girl."
"Oh!" Magatrix playfully chuckled. "If it's your age
you're worried about, Mrs. G, don't. Look! If I can pull a
sexual switcheroo on John here, you know, so that he'll be
able to attend, it's a sure thing that I can turn you into
a twenty-something looking young lady."
"Well, in that case, as long as my daughter doesn't
mind, I'd love to."
"Okay!" Magatrix beamed. "That just leaves you, MR.
G! What do you say? Are you up for another go-around as
girl?"
"No, I don't think so..." Pushing back from the
table, Nicole's father shock his head and chuckled. "While
I can't say spending an hour or so as a woman wasn't
interesting, once was quite enough for me. So, tell you
what. The four of you go and enjoy yourselves. Me? I'll
just stay home and drink some beer, if it's all the same to
you?"
"Ah, come on, Dad!" Nikki pleaded. "Where's your
sense of adventure?"
"Right here in my pants, sweetheart. And, if you and
your mother don't mind, that's where I'd like to keep it,
all safe and secure. So, what I'm saying is, thanks, but no
thanks..."
***
Nicole's bachelorette party was a huge success.
Though he almost chickened out at the last moment, John
took the plunge and allowed Magatrix to change him into a
stunning, amply endowed, almond eyed brunette.
"Oh, my God!" John breathlessly exclaimed as she
examined that curvaceous new body of hers in the mirror.
"I'm beautiful!"
"Yes, you most certainly are," Nikki gleefully
concurred.
"Damn! Would you believe that I'm actually turning
myself on?"
"Yes, John, I would." Knowing fully well what her
ultra feminized fianc?e was going through, Nikki had to
giggle. "Now you know what I have to contend with damn near
every time I catch a glimpse of myself."
"Oh, so that's why you're always horny?"
"Yup! That's why! Oh! And, while I'm thinking about
it, let me be the first to welcome you to my world, the
world of the nymphed out narcissist."
***
Just to be on the safe side, Nicole's mother had
prudently rented a stretch limo to cart all the partygoers
around in. And, they had a blast, drinking champagne and
club hopping throughout the entire evening, and well into
the wee hours of the following day.
While John, who had been introduced to the rest of
the girls as Nikki's out of town friend, Jenny, had been a
bit reluctant to loosen up and get past the wallflower
image she had initially adopted, a couple of glasses of
champagne put the kibosh on that foolishness. By the time
they arrived at the second club on their itinerary, Jenny
had pretty much thrown caution to the wind and was out on
the dance floor, mixing it up with the rest of them.
The young, vivacious, twenty-something Mrs. G caught
her soon to be son-in-law's ear as they piled back into the
limo, and coyly commented, "You seem to be enjoying
yourself, Jenny."
"Yeah... I guess I am at that, Pam," Jenny replied
with the inflections of a girlish giggle laced delightfully
within that melodious, come-hither voice of hers.
Leaning in close so as to be able to conspiratorially
whisper in Mrs. G's ear, Jenny added a follow-up, "However,
I sort of feel like the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing
that you're always hearing about."
"Well..." Pam had to laugh. "I can plainly see how
you might feel that way, Jenny, because, basically, when
you think about it, that's pretty much what you are, aren't
you?"
"Are? Are what?" Nikki, curious to know what John and
her Mom had been talking about, inquisitively inquired.
Thinking fast in order to quell any further probing
on her daughter's part, Mrs. G took the initiative as she
responded, "Enjoying herself! I just asked Jenny here if
she was enjoying herself, and she assured me she was!"
Knowing that there had to be more to it than that,
but also knowing that it wasn't the time to pry, Nikki
replied with a non-threatening, "Oh! That's good. I'm happy
to hear that she is."
About fifteen minutes later, as the stretch limousine
neared the next club on the evening's itinerary, Nikki,
raising her voice in order to be heard over the ongoing
tumult, pointedly asked, "Hey, Jenny! What's up? Is it just
me, or are you avoiding me for some reason?"
"No..." a slightly bemused Jenny called back. "I'm
not avoiding you!"
"You sure could have fooled me! Tell you what, Jen,
since I haven't gotten to spend almost any time at all with
you tonight, when we get to the next place, I'd kind of
like it if you'd sit next to me, you know, so we can catch
up on old times."
"Are you sure, Nikki?" Jenny sought clarification. "I
mean, the last thing I want to do is to appear like I'm
monopolizing you."
"Hey, everybody!" Nikki laughingly bellowed. "Do any
of you mind me spending some quality time with my
girlfriend, Jenny, here? No? Good! See, Jenny, nobody here
minds if you monopolize me for awhile!"
Ten minutes after they arrived at the club, Nikki
reached over, and taking Jenny's hand in her own drew her
ultra feminized lover out of her chair. "Come on, Jen!
Dance with me."
Given that it was a fast dance, and a lot of the
other partygoers were out on the dance floor, paired up
with one another, Jenny was more than happy to comply with
Nikki's request.
"That's it, girl!" Nikki giddily teased. "Show me how
you shake that thing of yours!"
Raising her voice to almost the level of a shout in
order to be heard over the din of the music, Nikki queried,
"Hey, Jen! You look as if you're enjoying yourself! Tell
me! Are you?"
"Surprisingly, I am!" Jenny yelled back. "I really
am!"
"Good! I'm glad to hear that!"
"And, you?" Jenny just as loudly inquired.
"Yes! But, more so now than I was before..."
***
"Hey!" Nikki sternly demanded. "And, just where do
you think you're going, young lady?"
"Back to the table," Jenny nonchalantly replied. "Are
you coming? Or are you going to stay out here on the dance
floor, looking like some fool?"
"No, silly! I'm staying right here, because I still
want to dance."
"Okay! Tell you what, Nikki, the next fast number
they play, I'd be more than happy to come back out here
with you."
"No, Jen! You don't seem to understand! I want to
dance with you, and I want to dance with you now!"
"But, this is a slow song," Jenny argued, pointing
out the obvious.
"So, what if it is a slow song? You and I always
dance to the slow ones."
"Nikki!" Jenny sternly pleaded. "People are starting
to stare!"
"Let 'em! Look, Jen! This is my bachelorette party! I
still want to dance! And, the person I want to dance with
you!"
"Please, Nikki! If you make me do this, people are
going to get the wrong impression! That's to say that some
of them might get the idea that you and I are a couple of
lesbians."
"So, who gives a flying frig if they do?" Nikki
defiantly replied, as she manfully took that soon to be
husband of hers into her arms. "Besides, if you want to get
all technical about it, given how sassy and sexy you're
looking tonight, you could say that as it stands now, we
really are a couple of lesbians..."
Returning to their table upon the completion of the
dance, one of Nikki's friends from work laughingly quipped,
"Hey, Nicole! Come on! Fess up! Does your husband to be
know about these rather aberrant sexual tendencies of
yours, or should one of us take it upon ourselves to tell
him?"
In the way of an answer, Nikki pivoted in her seat.
Reaching over, she proceeded to take Jenny's head in both
of her hands. Whereupon, Nikki shameless drew those ever so
luscious lips of her transsexualized beau's toward her own.
The kiss, once engaged, was both long and
impassioned. Jenny's initial resistance quickly evaporated,
as she gleefully welcomed the wanton intrusion of her
lover's tongue. The intensity increased, and Jenny felt the
wetness of her passions begin to permeate that marvelous
and mysterious new inny of hers.
Then, as their lips reluctantly parted, Nicole gasped
as she defiantly proclaimed, "Oh, I do believe that my John
already knows all about these aberrant sexual tendencies of
mine. And, if he doesn't, I want it known here and now that
I have absolute no problem if anyone here wishes to tell
him..."
For the rest of the night, owing to Nicole's ongoing
insistence, the two of them were, for all practical
purposes, damn near inseparable. Though Nikki never went so
far as to blatantly swap spit with her sexually
transmogrified fianc?e again, she was constantly reaching
over and touching either Jenny's hand or forearm, as if to
add extra emphasis to some obtuse point she was endeavoring
to make.
Nikki was also engaged in a good deal of clandestine
touching beneath the table. Every so often, the former
Michael Gerlach would reach over with that nimble and well-
manicured hand of hers and use it to provocatively caress
the inner run of Jenny's thigh. Several times, Nicole even
went so far as to up the ante. When she thought everyone's
attention was focused elsewhere, Nikki became brazen enough
to actually reach over and teasingly run her middle finger
up along the swath of her lover's crotch.
"Nikki!" a visibly startled Jenny admonished in an
almost inaudible whisper. "Would you please cut that out!"
Repeating the very action that had had given birth to
Jenny's harshly delivered rebuke, so as to clearly
demonstrate that she would not be dissuaded, Nikki impishly
countered, "Oh, so I take it that you don't like the way it
feels when I do that?"
"No!" Jenny snapped, somewhat louder than she had
meant to. "It's not that I don't like it! The problem is
that I like it too much!"
"Oh! You do, do ya'? Tell me, Jen, are you starting
to feel all loose-juicy inside?"
"Yes! Damn You! I am!"
"Good!"
***
Though the plan had been for the whole group of them
to crash for the remainder of night at one of Nikki's
bridesmaid's apartment, once they had all piled back in the
limo, Nicole begged off. Using the excuse that she had
drank far too much champagne and was therefore feeling a
little woozy, given all that she had yet to do that weekend
to get ready for the following week's wedding, Nicole
announced that a change of plans was in order. She would
have the driver drop everybody else off at her friend's
apartment and then she would have him take her and Jenny
back to her place. Upon hearing that, and having a good
idea what was going on in her daughter's head, after a
quick confab with Magatrix, Pam requested that after they
drop all the other girls off, Nikki have the driver make a
slight detour and drop her and Maggie off as well.
A somewhat done-in Pam Gerlach yawned and then sought
clarification as the limo pulled up in front of her house.
"So, tell me again. What, if anything, did we all decide to
do tomorrow? Or, if you want to get technical about it,
later today? Are the two of you coming over here tomorrow,
or are Maggie and I supposed to come over to your place?"
"Tell you what, Mom, how 'bout we come over here.
But, just so you know, don't expect to see us until
sometime late in the afternoon."
"Oh!" Magatrix brusquely quipped. "So, I take it the
two of you plan to be up for a little while yet?
"Oh, yeah! Most definitely!"
"What are you going to do?" It was Magatrix again.
"Give that adorable little lover-girl of yours a hands-on
demonstration of how all those nifty new attributes of hers
work?"
"That's pretty much the plan," Nikki impishly
replied.
***
Aware that Mrs. G would probably not want to hear all
the gory details, Magatrix waited until she was busy doing
something or other elsewhere in the house before inquiring,
"So, tell me, John, did you enjoy your stint as a girl last
night?"
"Oh, yeah! I must say, I certainly did, at that."
"What about the sex? Did you enjoy that as well?"
Responding as if he was somewhat reluctant to make
such an ego affronting admittance, John sheepishly replied,
"Oh, yeah... The sex was great!"
"Okay! So, tell me, Nikki, as a girl, is John as much
of a nymphomaniac as you are?"
"Definitely! Maybe, even more so!"
"Oh, he is, is he? Okay! That brings me to my next
question. John, now that you've had a little taste - pardon
the pun - of what it's like to be a woman, what would you
say were I to offer you a way to become one on, shall we
say, an elective, part-time basis, you know, so that the
two of you could spice up your love-life by occasionally
engaging in a lesbian tete-a-tete with one another?"
"You mean you could actually do something like that
for the two of us?"
"I sure could. The question is, would you like me
to?"
"Yes!" John replied with unbridled enthusiasm. Then,
upon the realization that he had spoken without consulting
with his bride-to-be in order to ascertain her feelings on
the matter, John more sedately continued, "Yes, as long as
Nikki is... Damn! What's the word I'm looking for? Oh, I
know! The word's amenable! Yes! As long as Nikki is
amenable, I think it would be kind of neat to be able to
become a girl whenever I wanted to. So, what do say, kiddo?
Should we take Maggie up on this most generous offer of
hers?"
Giddy with the excitement of it all, Nikki playfully
responded, "Sure! I'd love it, just as long as you think
you can handle the demanding task of being my lesbian
lover."
"Oh... never you fear on that account," John
energetically teased back. "The real question should be,
can you measure up to the arduous task of being my lesbian
lover..."
***
That evening at the dinner table, Maggie made pretty
much the same sort of offer concerning John's bachelor
party as she had for Nicole's bachelorette party. Mrs. G
was the first to decline, intimating that she had no
interest in gaining first hand knowledge of what it was
like to be a man. Mr. G followed suit. However, in doing
so, he asked Maggie if she might be able to see her way
clear to turning both he and his wife into a twenty-
something-year-old couple, so that they could enjoy an
evening out together, and relive old memories.
Saying that she would be more than happy to accede to
Mr. G's proposal, Magatrix requested that the Gerlachs
remove their wedding rings and give them to her. They did,
and a moment after receiving them, Maggie handed them back.
She then proceeded to inform the couple that their rings
now possessed the magical potential to regress their ages
on a temporary basis, adding that they were to be used
judiciously, suggesting that one evening a week, or two
weekends a month, might be the best way to go.
To John's surprise, Nikki also declined, saying that
while there was a part of her that would really like to
attend, there was another part of her that did not want to
intrude on her fianc?e's fun. Then, to reinforce her
decision, Nikki continued to add that she still had a lot
of things to do before the wedding, and not a whole lot of
time in which to do them. Without being specific, she
implied that she would use the night to good advantage by
attending to things that needed to be attended to.
Though John was a tad bit dismayed to hear he would
be without the pleasure of Nikki's company on the night of
his bachelor party, he didn't press the issue. Though he
might wish it otherwise, he knew that the love of his life
had valid reasons for not attending. Sitting there at the
table, he silently vowed to himself that he would do
whatever was necessary to respect those reasons.
"Okay..." John replied with a degree of resignation
clearly conveyed in the subtle inflections of his voice. "I
guess that leaves just you and me, Maggie."
"Sorry, sport!" Magatrix quickly replied. "No can do.
Look, as much as I'd like to attend, I'm afraid that I
won't be able to."
"Oh! That's right! I plum forgot! You'd lose your
powers if you change back into a man, wouldn't you?"
"That's true. However, I wouldn't actually have to
change back into a man to attend your bachelor party. Were
I planning on attending, all I would have to do is to use
my magic abilities to, I guess you could say, masquerade as
a man, you know, rather than to actually change myself into
one."
"You can do that?" a bemused Mr. G inquired. "You can
actually make yourself appear to others as a man, while
still remaining a woman?"
"Yes. Actually, it's a pretty simple thing for me to
accomplish. All I have to do is finagle around with my aura
a little, and whalla, I'm wrapped in an illusion that makes
me appear to all the world to be a man," Magatrix said, as
she momentarily took on the appearance of a rather rakish
and ruggedly debonair young gentleman.
"Wow!" John exclaimed. "Now, that's a neat little
trick, if ever there was one! So, if I may be so bold as to
ask, how come you're not planning on coming to my last
hurrah as a single guy?"
Countering, Maggie said, "Well, before I answer your
question as to why I won't be attending your bachelor
party, let's get something straight here. Though the
legalities of the law might tend to disagree with me, as
far as I'm concerned, you are anything but a single guy,
John. That's to say that starting that first night when I
turned Mike here into Nikki, the two of you became a couple
committed to one another. In other words, in my mind the
two of you are as married now as you will be after next
Saturday. Or, to put that another way, I look upon your
upcoming marriage ceremony as nothing more than a public
declaration of what already exists.
"Now, as to why I won't be attending your bachelor
party, I thought it would be nice were I to give Nikki a
hand doing whatever it is she has to do..."
***
Contrary to what Nicole and Maggie had told John,
they both had full intentions of attending his bachelor
party. However, they would do so in a most unusual and
innovative manner.
Several weeks earlier, acting on a suggestion made by
Magatrix during one of their numerous phone conversations,
Nicole had surreptitiously gotten in touch with John's
younger brother, Nathan, and informed him that she could
arrange for a stripper to pop in on the night of the
bachelor party. What Nikki left unsaid in the conversation
she had with Nat was that she had every intention of being
that stripper.
On the night of the party, prior to leaving Nicole's
townhouse, Magatrix employed her magic to change herself
into a statuesque brunette and Nikki into an exotically
alluring and generously endowed blonde Eurasian beauty, who
was attired in a reasonable facsimile of the local
constabulary.
"John!" his younger brother, Nathan, quizzically
intoned as he led what appeared to be a uniformed
policewoman into his apartment's living room. "Officer
Miller here says that she needs to see you on a matter of
some urgency."
The high-heeled black boots that Officer Miller was
wearing should have been a dead give away. John, owing to
his befuddlement as to why a policewoman was even asking
for him, did not at first pick up on that rather blatant
inaccuracy. Neither did he notice that a very striking
young woman, decked out in some rather eye-catching causal
attire and carrying a rather large boom box in her right
hand, had entered his brother's apartment on the heels of
the uniformed officer.
"John Larsen," playing the part of the policewoman to
the hilt, Nikki said officiously, "you have the right to
become aroused."
As her friend did so, Magatrix pressed the boom box's
'Play' button, and Nikki seductively launched into her well
rehearsed routine.
Her hat went first, followed shortly thereafter by
her very realistic looking combination gun and utility
belt. Next came her rip-away shirt, which was followed up
by the erotically artsy shedding of her rip-away pants.
Nikki had done her homework. Brazenly decked out in a
glistening, midnight blue satin thong and bra set, she
seductively gyrated in perfect syncopation to the
suggestive music that blared out of the boom box that her
companion slash chaperon had dutifully placed on the floor
before where she stood amongst the gawking and gearing
onlookers.
Moving in for the kill, Nikki lowered herself ever so
seductively into her lover's lap. Pelvic thrust followed
pelvic thrust in a lustfully charged vertical
interpretation of a horizontal desire. Concurrent with that
maneuver, Nikki, cradling those substantial mammaries of
hers in own her hands, began to tantalizingly rub them all
about John's chest. A moment or so after that, Nikki very
adroitly exchanged John's hands for hers. Then, having
freed up her hands, she reached out and drew John's face
down unto those truly magnificent mounds of hers.
Needless to say, though he both hid and handled it
well, Nikki was well aware of the fact that John was
thoroughly embarrassed by the whole situation. On one hand,
he knew that his friends harbored certain expectations. On
the other, he did not want to do anything that would even
come close to threatening Nikki's faith in him.
John was well aware of the fact that Nikki would
grant him a certain measure of understanding, given the
circumstances. But, he also knew that as understanding as
she might be, her understanding had its limits. Trouble
was, John was working in the dark, in that he was not at
all sure what those limits of hers might be.
While in the midst of that ever so provocative lap
dance of hers, Nikki intuitively sensed that John was in
real quandary as to how he should proceed. Taking pity on
him, she placed her month up against his ear and whispered,
"John, it's me, Nikki. And, just so you know, that's Maggie
over there with the ghetto blaster."
John hazarded a glance over to where the brunette was
standing. She, in turn, raised her hand in a little wave of
recognition.
"What do you say, lover?" Nikki continued on. "How
'bout you and I give these sex crazed friends of ours
something to write home about?"
As relief washed over him, John raised a question.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Sure, I'm sure. Let's put on a real show for 'em."
"Okay..." John whispered, as he deftly slipped his
hand under the waistband of the scandalously skimpy thong
Nicole was wearing. "But, remember dear, you did ask for
it."
***
"Damn!" Magatrix laughingly scoffed, as the three sat
in a booth in an all night diner waiting for their waitress
to bring them the food they had ordered. "For a while
there, I almost thought that the two of you were going to
do it right there in front of everybody."
"Yeah..." John replied. "I guess we were going at it
pretty hot and heavy for a while there, weren't we?"
"Oh, yeah! Take my word for it. You sure as hell
were."
"Oh, shit!" Nikki frantically interjected. "I plum
forgot about the camcorder your bother had going! Damn it
all to hell and back! He had to have caught the whole
friggin' thing on tape!"
"Not to worry." Maggie managed to get a word in
edgewise. "While he caught all the preliminary stuff on
tape, you know, in so far as your performance as a stripper
is concerned, when it came to all that heavy handed
foreplay that so engrossed the two of you, trust me. You
haven't a thing to worry about."
Encouraged, Nikki sought clarification, "Are you
saying that you made sure that all that crass and carnal
stuff we did didn't get taped?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
"Oh!" John interjected. "So, what did you do? Use
your magic to stop Nat's camcorder?"
"No. I simply walked over and pulled the plug out the
wall socket..."
***
John and Nicole's wedding was pure enchantment.
Though highly skeptical, the members of the bridal
party followed the instructions given them, in that they
were all to arrive at the park that morning three hours
prior to the announced time of the wedding itself, dressed
in the casual attire that more befitted a picnic than a
wedding. As soon as they put in an appearance, Mrs. G
enlisted their help. The ushers she put to work setting up
the chairs, while the bridesmaids, along with Nicole, were
assigned other tasks. John, along with his brother, Nathan,
worked with Nicole's father, putting together the
prefabricated sections of the two trellises that Mr. G had
built in his garage. Once constructed, Magatrix, with a
theatrical flourish of her hand and a Samantha Stevens like
wriggle of her nose, completed the job by instantaneously
decorating the pair of trellises with a dazzling array of
floral wonderment.
Though it departed from excepted convention, the
ceremonies began in earnest when John and his best man and
younger brother, Nat, emerged from the more elongated,
tunnel like trellis and made their way down the aisle which
bisected the gallery of expectant well-wishers. Having been
seen entering the trellis wearing slacks and casual shirts,
the onlookers were astonished when the brothers exited the
concealment afforded by the flower adorned entrance portal
dapperly dressed in the splendid finery of tuxedos. Nat's
was a soft powder blue, whereas John's was of a slightly
darker hue to that which his brother wore. In like fashion,
as each of the ushers passed through the entrance portal,
the casual clothing they were wearing magically morphed
into tuxes of soft, powder blue coloration.
Once the ushers had taken their assigned positions
alongside John and Nat, there was a brief, programmed lull
in the proceedings, which afforded Father McDuffy the
opportunity to move into position beneath the latticework
arbor. Though now fully anticipated, the sea of well-
wishers were no less astonished to see Nicole's bridesmaids
enter the elongated trellis in casual dress, only to watch
them emerge in the enchanting, fairy-like elegance of
matching pastel pink gowns. Magatrix, as Nikki's maid of
honor, was similar attired, save that her gown was of a
slightly darker tint than that of the bridesmaids.
Then, seemingly out of the air itself, the opening
strands of the wedding march gently wafted. Nicole, on the
arm of her father, could be seen entering the trellis
wearing a halter-top and a pair of well-worn designer
jeans. While Mr. G exited wearing a carbon copy of the
tuxedo that the ushers had been fitted out with, it was his
daughter's reemergence that caused the onlookers to gasp
and gape.
Nicole, ensconced as she was in the simplistic
elegance of a gleaming white satin wedding gown, was
nothing less than beauty personified. If her bridesmaids
invoked images of the fairy-folk, Nicole had to be
accounted as their uncontested queen.
With a huge, shit-eating grin spreading almost
beatifically across his face, John was rendered awestruck
as he watched his bride-to-be ever so gracefully advance
toward him. Without any equivocation whatsoever, he knew
himself to be luckiest and most fortunate man in the world.
Nikki was his love and his life. Magatrix, he knew, had
been right all along. The two of them were indeed
soulmates. In some inexplicable way, John was cognizant of
the fact that they were tethered, one to the other, within
the intricate weave of the Firmament itself. As far as John
was concerned, even though it took Magatrix's magical
intervention to make it possible, their union had been
preordained by the Almighty.
Oddly enough, Nicole's mind joyously mirrored her
lover's sentiments. Like John, she deemed herself to be the
luckiest and most fortunate person alive.
***
"John," Magatrix softly intoned while the two them
were taking a turn about the concrete slab that had been
designated as the dance floor, "do you remember the other
day when I asked to see your new in-laws' wedding rings?"
"You mean, when you did whatever you did to them to
make it so Nikki's Mom and Dad could make themselves
younger?"
"Yes. That's it. That's exactly what I'm referring
to. Well, just so you know, the other night, when you guys
were showing me your wedding bands, I took it upon myself
to invest yours with the magical wherewithal that will
allow you the ability to become a girl on an elective,
part-time basis."
"Wow! That's great! I really appreciate that, Maggie.
I really, really do. And, I know that when I tell Nikki,
she will as well. I mean, I don't know how we can ever
thank you enough for what you've done for us. I mean, Nikki
and I owe you everything."
"Think nothing of it, John. It was my pleasure. I'm
just glad I was able to do it for the two of you. Besides,
I got something out of it as well."
"Yeah! Right!" a somewhat perplexed John dismissively
scoffed. "And, what - pray tell! - did you get out it?"
"Well, actually, now that I think about it, I got a
couple of things out of it. First off, I got the pleasure
of making two people that I've come to really, really like,
very, very happy. Then, as an extra added bonus on top of
that, I ended up making two new friends that, I think it's
fair to say, have become very dear to me."
"You really mean that, don't you?"
"Yes, John, I really do. The truth is, I've come to
think of the two of you as the brother and sister I never
had. I mean, you guys have gone out of your way and then
some to make me feel like family, and that's something I
really appreciate..."
***
About a half-hour later, Magatrix sidled up alongside
of Nikki and, having excused herself for interrupting the
conversation that was taking place, politely inquired,
"Have you got a sec, Nicole? I really need to talk to you
about Jenny."
Confused, having not picked up on her maid of honor's
cleverly veiled inference, Nikki quizzically replied,
"Jenny? Jenny who?"
"Your out of town girlfriend, Jenny, that's who! You
know, Jenny! As in the Jenny who attended your bachelorette
party, but who regrettably couldn't be here today due to a
prior commitment."
"Oh!" Nikki had to laugh at her own stupidity. "You
mean that Jenny?"
"Yes! That's the Jenny I'm referring to."
Returning her attention to the group of women she had
been talking to, Nikki pleasantly asked, "Would you ladies
please excuse me? It seems that Maggie has something that
she needs to tell me about a mutual friend of ours, who
regrettably, couldn't be here today..."
A minute or so later, having moved out of earshot
from those milling in and about the pavilion, Nikki began
the conversation by inquiring, "Okay! So, tell me. What's
up? Does this really have something to do with Jenny, or
was that just a ploy on your part to get me off all by
myself like this?"
"Oh, never you fear, Nicole. What I need to talk to
you about has everything to do with our friend, Jenny.
First off, let's start off by saying that while she
couldn't attend your wedding in person, you'd best believe
that she was here in spirit."
"John told you that?"
"No... Not in so many words, he didn't... However, I
can assure you that he's as eager as you are for another
lesbian tete-a-tete."
"Really?"
"Oh, yeah! Take my word for it. He most certainly
is."
"So, when are you going to do whatever you have to do
to make it possible for John to be able to turn himself
back into Jenny and vice versa?"
"I already have."
"Since when?" Nikki dubiously demanded.
"Since the other night, when I asked to see your
wedding bands."
"You're shitting me, right?"
"No, Nicole. I'm not."
"Okay! So, how's it work? What, exactly, does John
have to do to turn himself into a girl?"
"Not much, really. Basically, all he has to do is to
formulate a conscious request in his mind to become a
woman, and - 'Shazam!' - he is one. And, the same holds
true for when he wants to change back, save that while he
gets to pick and choose what kind of woman he wants to
become, you know, in so far as his physical attributes and
attire are concerned, when it comes to changing back, it's
pretty much a case of 'What you see, is what you get'."
"Wow! That's pretty nifty! So, tell me. Just how long
can he remain a woman? I mean, is he operating under the
same sort of time constraints that my parents are?"
"Heavens, no! Look, Nicole, just between you me, I
placed those time constraints on your parents' rings so
that they wouldn't get carried away. But anyhow, getting
back to the issue at hand, should that new hubby of yours
wish to turn himself into a woman and remain one for the
rest of his life, the way I've got that ring of his, shall
we say, magically programmed, he could do so. However,
knowing John the way I do, I know that he would never do
something such as that. Trust me. Even though he might
enjoy short and even frequent stints as a girl, John likes
being a man far too much to ever want to be a woman for any
extended period of time.
"Oh! Now that I'm thinking about it, there's
something I neglected to tell your hubby concerning this
business about his newfound ability to change himself into
an anatomical correct member of the fairer sex.
"Look! While it will be nowhere as near as all
encompassing as it was with you, when it comes to stuff
like his driver's license, passport, credit cards, and
other such sundry shit, John needn't worry about it. In
other words, the way I've got the game rigged, it'll all
take care of itself. Plus, should anyone, such as a Customs
Agent or even a cop, get a wild hair up their ass and
decide to run a background check on John when he's in his
Jenny motif, rest assured, the ring's inherent magical
subroutines will kick in and take care of everything."
"Damn, girl!" Nikki chuckled. "You've pretty much
thought of everything, haven't you? I mean, you've got this
girl-shit covered six ways from Sunday!"
"Watch it there, Nicole!" Magatrix, with tongue
firmly implanted in cheek, sarcastically admonished. "That
latent maleness of yours is starting to show."
"Yeah... I guess it is at that," Nikki had to giggle.
"I promise that I'll watch myself from here on out."
"See that you do. Plus, even though it is your
wedding, and you're not going to be driving anytime soon,
you might want to hold off on the champagne..."
Then, just about the time the two of them were in the
process of wrapping up their conversation, Magatrix chided
herself, "Damn! I almost forgot to tell you about the other
half of yours and John's wedding present!"
"You mean to tell me that you did something else on
top of everything else you've already done for us?" Nikki
was incredulous.
"Yes. Yes, I did. You see, Nicole, when I finagled
with John's ring, you know, to allow him to become your
lesbian lover every now and again, I also added a little
extra feature to yours."
"You did! What? What did you do it?" Nikki eagerly
inquired of her friend.
"Well... let's just say that your ring more or less
dovetails with your husband's, in that it gives you the
ability to help him explore the full gambit of what it's
like to be a woman, sexually speaking that is."
"Wait a second! Are you saying that I can use my ring
to turn myself back into the man I used to be?"
"No... But, you're close. You see, Nikki, while your
ring won't change you back into the guy you once where, it
will allow you to become, shall we say, a shemale, in that
it will take that girlish inny of yours and turn it into a
mannish outty, while leaving the rest of your body as it is
now. That means, whenever the mood strikes you, you now
have the ability, via that ring of yours, to reverse roles
and become the humper, rather than the humpie.
"However, I should make mention of the fact that in
order for you to use your ring, John will have had to have
used his. In other words, Nikki, the only time you can turn
yourself into a bona fide, penis-toting shemale, is when
your hubby is operating as a girl.
"Oh, and while we're on the subject, were I you, I
would hold off on the shemale shit for a good six months.
Trust me. John will have enough on his plate just dealing
with the lesbian business for a while.
"Always remember, Nicole, a man's ego is a fragile
thing at best."
***
Around three that afternoon, Nikki and John bid their
well wishers a gracious good-bye, and got on the road.
Around five, they checked into a motel. Dinner followed
shortly thereafter, and then it was back to the room for an
evening chock full of sexual intimacy. Around ten, having
officially consummated their marriage twice already that
evening, John, who was champing at the bit to once again
experience the sexual aspects of what is was like to be a
woman, asked Nikki if she would be adverse to his changing
himself into Jenny. Nicole, who had been hoping and praying
for that very thing, eagerly encouraged her hubby to do
just that.
The next morning they awoke early, showered together,
packed up their belongings and got back on the road. Around
eight, after a good two hours of driving, they stopped for
breakfast.
Nicole impishly inquired as she took a sip of the
coffee that their waitress had just poured, "So, I take it
that those stiletto heeled demi-boots that you decided to
deck yourself out in this morning aren't giving you any
trouble driving in, are they?"
"No," Jenny conspiratorially replied. "Surprisingly,
they're not. Truth is, I forgot I even had them on until
you just now mentioned it."
"See! I told you that the way Maggie had this magic
of hers rigged, you'd take to being a girl the way a duck
takes to water."
"Yeah... I guess you kind of sort of did, at that,"
Jen, with a seductive little giggle infesting her voice,
was quick to acknowledge the truth of her lover's
assertion.
"I'll bet that you're not even bothered by the fact
that you're wearing a bra."
"No!" Jenny had to laugh. "You're right! It doesn't
phase me in the least little bit."
"Good! I'm glad to here that. However, I do have a
question."
"Sure..." Jen urged. "Shoot!"
"Since we will be checking in at our hotel later this
morning, when, exactly, do you plan on changing back into
my husband again?"
"Well..." Jen's rebuttal was couched in a teasingly
thoughtful manner. "If it's all the same to you,
sweetheart, I was kind of planning to do that round about
the time we were pulling into our hotel's parking lot..."

They spent two nights in the Poconos. Then, early
that Tuesday's morning, they climbed back into their rental
car, and drove to Niagara Falls. Crossing over to the
Canadian side, they checked into their hotel, and spent
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that week playing tourist,
seeing the sites and thoroughly enjoying their time
together. Saturday, they arose early, crossed back into the
States, and headed straight away to the airport. Dropping
off their rental car, the two of them checked in with their
airline, received their boarding passes, and headed off to
grab a quick breakfast before boarding the plane that would
fly them out for an idyllic week's stay on the Island of
Bermuda.
"Shit!" Jen fumed as she divested herself of the
skimpy, though nonetheless stylish thong bikini she had

"What's wrong?" Nikki called out from the other room.
"Is there a problem?"
"I forgot!"
"Forgot what?"
"I plum forgot all about the tan-line bullcrap!"
"Oh, shit!" Nikki, forming a picture in her mind of
her husband's body emblazoned with the telltale tan-lines
that a bikini top would no doubt leave, distressingly
replied. "Sorry! I forgot all about that as well. So, I
guess we're just going to have to forego our lesbian beach
outings from here on out, darling."
With regret clearly carried in her rebuttal, Jen was
forced to agree with her wife, "Yeah, as much as I hate to,
I guess we will, at that..."
The next morning, having gotten out of bed first in
order to relieve himself, an astonished John called out to
his wife, "Look, hon! No tan lines!"
"Wow!" Nikki gleefully exclaimed. "It looks as if we
have one more thing to thank Maggie for!"

Initially, John spent about fifty percent of his time
away from work as Jenny. However, once the novelty of it
all wore off, John reduced the time he spent as a she to
average out at somewhere around forty percent per week.
As for Nikki, long before she ever used her ring to
gain the necessary wherewithal which would enable her to
artfully deflower that lesbian lover-girl of hers, she
became
