Fortune Cookie 1 (Revised) Part 23 Paula went to town with Laura and Joanne looking for new school clothes. They took the bus, and on the way, the days events thus far dominated their conversation. "I don't get one thing," said Joanne. "How come the receptionist didn't question Paula's gender?" "I don't know. I'm sure it was the same one I spoke to on Wednesday," said Laura. "It makes no sense. We know about Paula, but she didn't," said Joanne. "We'll have to wait till Monday to find out exactly what is going on," said Laura. "But one thing is clear, it'll be Paula and not Paul attending." They got off at the high street and headed towards the nearest clothes store. "So, we need to get you some blouses, another skirt perhaps. Anything else?" "PE kit," said Paula. "I'll need a new sports bra too, one that fits! But I've never seen what the girls wear." "I know," said Joanne. "I doubt they've changed the design since I was there." "So, we know what to buy. I now hope we can get you in somewhere," said Laura to Paula. Paula was lead to another place altogether: a salon. "I'm going to have my hair done!" she cried. "And your legs," said Laura. "That hair must go." "I think I'll treat myself to a manicure and pedicure," said Joanne. "Enjoy yourself sis." "You do that then. Paula has got to wait a few weeks before she can do the same," said Laura. "ok, lets go in." While Joanne went to the adjoining nail salon, Mom introduced Paula to one of the assistants. "This is my daughter Paula. Shes here to get her hair done and (in a whisper) to have her legs waxed. Its been a while I'm afraid." "Ok, so Paula, ever had your legs done?" said the assistant. "No, never," said Paula. "I've used razors till now." "You'll be throwing the razors away after this," she replied. "Come this way." Paula was led to room around the back and told to take off her shoes and tights. The assistant looked astonished at the hair. "I think we need your skirt off too," said the assistant. Paula was slightly nervous about taking her clothes off in front of strangers, but with Laura close by, she felt more comfortable. "You might find it stings a little," said the assistant, now with a tub of wax in her hand. Applying it in sections, the assistant waxed Paula's legs. Paula did find it painful at first but the speed at which the strips were removed seemed to lessen the pain. When the waxing had been done, she had her legs wiped over, to remove any wax that was left. "There you go. One beautiful pair of legs," said the assistant. Paula put her skirt and shoes back on, but left the tights off. She was led back into the main salon and told to wait until an hair stylist became available. When one did, she was led to a chair. "Ok miss, whats your name?" asked the stylist. "Paula," said Paula. "So, Paula. What can I do for you today?" she asked. "I'm growing it out, so I just want a style thats easy to manage," said Paula. "Sure. Got tired of having it short?" said the stylist. "Yes, I suppose it was trendy at the time but I missed the length," said Paula, finding an excuse for her short hair rather easy. "With hair like yours, that's understandable," said the stylist. "By the way, my names Carla." "Nice to meet you Carla," said Paula. Paula watched with keen interest as her hair made the permanent trip to feminimity. No more passing it off as a unisex style. Some trimming was done, but hardly any length was lost. When the stylist was done, Paula looked at herself in amazement. "Kelly is going to love me!" she said. "Friend of yours?" asked Carla. "Yes, my best friend," said Paula. "She's wanted me to get it styled for ages." "Lets hope she likes it as much as you do," said Carla. "I love it!" said Paula. "Mom, what do think?" "You look wonderful. You wait here while I pay for it," said Laura. They found Joanne outside. Her nails were multitone pink. "Got to wear open toes, just to show these off," she said, removing one shoe to show matching toenails "Never mind your nails, what about our young princess here," said Laura. "Absolutely beautiful. That hairstyle is so you. Can't wait to see it longer," said Joanne. "Kelly is going to rape me," said Paula. "And I'm game!" "A lot of boys will be getting the same idea," said Laura. "You be careful." Next up was the clothes. The blouses could be got almost anywhere, since plain white ones were needed. The skirts had to be bought from the schoolwear shop, as did the PE kit. Paula was happy to have a sports bra that didn't squash her breasts. It was in the process of getting the sports bra, that they discovered she had grown half a cup since last time. "I wonder what dad will think when he gets home?" asked Paula. "It's what he'll say that interests me," said Laura. "But today has been extraordinary to say the least." * * * They arrived home and had something to eat (sandwiches) while waiting for Alex to arrive home from work. Paula was trying on her new clothes while Joanne was taking it in turns to admire her nails and Paula's hair. "Do you think people are going to notice that Paul is now Paula?" asked Laura. "I don't know," said Joanne. "The only ones thus far are those who know the truth - us." "Which suggests that only my friends will notice," said Paula. "Could be," said Laura. "Oh, your dad's home." Alex came in to the living room and noticed Paula, with her new hairstyle. "You've been out?" he asked. "Yes," said Laura. "Paula needed a few more things for school and I decided to let her get her hair done while we was at it." Alex looked at her and spoke to his wife. "Hold on, Paula is meant to be a boy at school. A feminine hairstyle is not going to help," he said. "It is now," said Laura. "A few things have happened today. Paula is now fully female and even so, in the eyes of the law too." "Yes dad. I'm a complete girl now," said Paula happily. "What do you mean?" asked Alex. Laura got the birth certificate and showed it him. "You got a forged one? So, planning to do this with the school records too?" he replied. "No and no," said Laura. "This is no forgery. I found it like this. This was Paul's, but is now Paula's. And the school records are changed too, so it appears. I phoned them up and they didn't question me when I told them that Paula was returning on Monday." Dad looked at the certificate several times before realising it wasn't a forgery at all. "So, we take it that some form of magic has happened?" he said. "I believe so," said Laura. He looked at Paula and took in her appearance. "Sorry Paula for doubting you. You look really nice," he added. "Thanks dad," she replied. "So, you've become a complete girl now?" he added. "Yes dad and I love it!" she added. "In other words, she enjoys her new found womanhood," said Joanne. "Ok, Jo. Thats enough," said Laura. "But it's true," said Joanne. Paula decided then, to go upstairs. She was tempted to bring herself to orgasm again, but decided against. She was thinking about the reaction her friends would make upon seeing her and not Paul on Monday. It was this thought that made her decide upon not giving them advanced warning. They were going to find out on Monday, no sooner. Still, she turned on her phone and sent a text to Alicia. "See you on Monday," before turning it off again. Alicia would be likely to call back and that would ruin the surprise. Her thoughts remained on the subject and turned specifically to Kelly. Kelly had been desperate to meet a complete Paula and make out with her. Thinking about Kelly made Paula feel horny and she felt the moisture coming from her vagina once more. She put her hand down her panties and gathered some of the juice on a finger tip before bringing it to her lips. The taste was most satisfying. She was just going to get more when the door to her room opened and Laura came in. "Playing again?" she asked. "Sorry, I was thinking of Kelly and I felt aroused," said Paula. "Well, I've just asked Joanne if she showed you how to use tampons," said Laura. "She hasn't, though she said she would," said Paula. "She said that too. Well, I'm going to show you, if you don't mind being the guinea pig," said Laura. "Ok, I've got to learn," said Paula. She took her skirt and panties off and spread her legs apart. "Sweetheart, close your legs. I know I'm your mother but I'd like you to make it second nature to keep them closed." "Sorry mom. Do you keep those in all the time?" asked Paula. "No, you change them every day. You only need use them during your periods," said Laura. She showed Paula the tampon and let her look at it closely. "Ok," said Laura, taking it back. "Lets show you how you put it in. Stand up please." Paula stood and kept her legs closed, only for Laura to ask her to open them. "You insert it in this way," she said. "You do it." Paula took it and put the tampon inside her. She felt a surge of pleasure as she did so. "Try not to get aroused," said Laura. "Ok, now just take the plastic case and remove it." "Like this?" asked Paula. "Thats right," said Laura. "And that string with the ring on the end should just be left hanging." "So, thats it?" asked Paula. "Thats it," said Laura. "Take that one out now, but I'll suggest you always carry at least two with you whenever you go out, including school." "So, when will I start having periods?" asked Paula. "I can't say. You just have to wait for the first to arrive," said Laura. "Then you must keep a mental note of when the next is due, which is roughly four weeks later." "Kelly keeps a diary. She told me," said Paula. "A lot of girls do. Its a good idea, but you can never say your next one will be on a particular date." "Kelly did mention it, that some are early and some are late," said Paula. "She's right again. She's been a good teacher to you," smiled Laura. "By the way mom, I'm keeping myself a surprise for Monday!" "You'll be a nice surprise for her," said Laura. "Ok, take that out." Paula pulled on the string and the tampon came out, covered in her juices. "Kelly uses pads, if I remember," added Paula. "Are they any good?" "They can be. Once, women never wore them with trousers because they used to show, but they are smaller now and don't show as much. If you want to use them instead, I can get you a pack." "I'll stick with these for the moment," said Paula. "Ok, I'll get you some on Monday. Joanne can lend you some until then. And by the way, wash yourself. You need to keep yourself clean down there and change your undies regulary," said Laura. After Laura left, taking the tampon with her, Paula decided to postpone washing herself and continued to play with herself. She quickly discovered that using the other hand to play with a nipple caused her to reach climax more quickly. "This is so much better than being a boy," she purred as she lay on her bed half naked, with one hand still between her legs and the other still holding one breast. "Sounds like my baby sister is enjoying herself again," said Joanne downstairs. "She has only just got her new parts and its a whole new experience to her," said Laura. "Just let her do it. What it'll be like when she manages to bed Kelly though, I hate to think." "If she gets the chance," said Alex. "I'm beginning to feel sorry for Kelly." * * * That evening, Alex went up to Paula's room to discuss redecorating. It was certainly going to be an interesting mix of tastes as the room was going to be girly but with the motorsport memorabilia still on show. "Ok, we'll remove that desk of yours and replace it with a dressing table," said Alex. "And if we move the shelves over a bit, we can put you a wardrobe in," "Can't I keep the desk? It'll be better if I kept it," said Paula. "Ok, keep it then," said Alex. Paula's room was getting the works with it being painted too. She had decided on white as the main colour but with pink and pale blue trim. "Ok, I'll start work in the Easter holidays," said Alex. "I'll get you some boxes to put your belongings in." "So, will I be able to sleep in here?" asked Paula. "We'll sort something out. Maybe even share with Joanne!" "You mean share her bed?" asked Paula. "I might try something!" "Ok, you can sleep on the sofa then," said Alex. Paula was left alone then and she could concentrate on her first day at school. Alicia had received Paula's text message and, as Paula had predicted, had tried to get back to her. "She's turned her phone off," thought Alicia. "Either gone out or doesn't want to speak to me." She decided to pass the message on to Kelly, who, unlike Paula, had got her phone switched on. "Hi Kelly. You haven't had any messages from Paula have you?" she said. "No, I haven't. I left that job to you. So Alicia, what is it?" replied Kelly. "Had a text from her saying that she, I mean he, will be back on Monday," said Alicia. "Oh great! I've missed him so much," said Kelly. "I wonder if his voice has changed?" "We'll have to wait till then to find out," said Alicia. "I've tried to get back to her but getting no reply. Her phone is switched off." "Maybe they've gone out for the day," suggested Kelly. "I've thought that too. I'll be glad to see Paul again anyway. Bye then," said Alicia. "Bye," said Kelly. Paula suspected that Alicia would pass on the message to Kelly. She already had a plan for surprising Kelly on Monday and it was fairly simple. Sunday arrived and Paula spent her second day as a complete girl with a degree of impatience. Never before had she (even as Paul) been so keen to go to school. Not only was she interested in how her friends would react to her, she was keen to see how anyone else, especially the teachers, would react. Her morning trip to the bathroom was getting longer, as Joanne had predicted. Adding to the use of the toilet and general washing, she looked in the mirror to check her face. Her appearance now became a priority, even if now, her main interest was just admiring her new hairstyle again. Taking account of what Laura had told her, she put on clean underwear. Settling to show off her legs once more, she chose a short skirt to go with the plain top. "How long will it be before the hair grows back?" she asked Laura and Joanne over breakfast. "A few weeks," said Joanne. "Much longer than just shaving." "Still looking forward to school?" asked Laura. "No, well yes. Its more about seeing my friends than going to school. We've got some catching up to do," said Paula. "Some? More like loads," said Laura. "But later today, can we sort your old clothes out? I'm sure you won't be wanting them now." "I don't know. There are some items I might want to keep," said Paula. "Ok, sort them out. I'll be with you later," said Laura. The items that Paula was referring to were various shirts and jackets that she had picked up from shows. All bore names of Rally or Formula One teams and were not cheap. One jacket had even been signed. All held sentimental value and Paula would not let them go. By the time Laura arrived, Paula had sorted out her old clothes. All the racing clothes were to one side on the bed. The unwanted clothes were stacked on the floor and consisted of trousers, shirts and underwear. "Some of my old shirts still fit me and can pass as unisex," she told Laura. "No problem," said Laura. "I take it these are the unwanted items?" "Yes." "Ok, I'll take them to the charity shop tomorrow," replied Laura, putting them into large shopping bags. When Laura had taken the old clothes, Paula set about putting the "keep" items back in the drawers, now far emptier. After that, she turned to her school bag, or more to the point, Paul's schoolbag. "This needs some girlyfying," she said to herself. Her bag was covered in racing pin badges. Too many for a girls bag, even if her interest in the subject was still as strong as ever. But she found a solution: repositioning them so that they spelt "Girls 4ever". She wondered how Kevin and Mike would take this. At least it wasn't "Girls Rule!" which she had objected to with respect to her former self. Paula was keen to publicise herself as a girly girl with a boyish edge. All her clothes would be girly, though not bimboish. Just as happy in trousers and t-shirt as well as a dress. "Just wish I had a large mirror to pose in front of," she thought. "So many possibilities with clothes, yet I don't have enough." She continued to look at her dresses and skirts, holding them up, seeing how one would look with another. Never had clothes been so important to her. By the time she came down for dinner, she was wearing a different outfit. "You didn't need to dress up for dinner," said Laura. "I just wanted to experiment," replied Paula. "Get a bigger wardrobe first, then you can experiment," said Joanne. "Though you do look good." "So, anyone else had any dreams?" said Paula. Now that her transformation was complete, there was nothing happening, as far as her fortune was concerned, for a quite a while. As a matter of fact, yes," said Alex. "I had a dream which clearly identified the race as a steeplechase." "Thats jumping over fences and hedges?" asked Joanne. "You reckon that its the National?" asked Paula. "I do," said Alex. "Now all I need to do is find the right horse." "The Grand National is this Saturday. There are usually forty or so horses," said Laura. "Did the dream tell you which horse to bet on?" "No, it didn't," sighed Alex. "Look in the paper on Saturday. They always have a pullout on that race," said Laura. "I just hope its a rank outsider," said Joanne. Alex was still the only one whose fortune seemed to be drawing near. Laura and Joanne were still waiting for their dreams to start. The rest of the day went slowly for Paula. She passed the time by watching a Bond film in her room before coming downstairs again for a drink. She was glad when the time came to go to bed. * * * Monday arrived and Paula awoke early just to get first call at the bathroom. "How the tables have turned!" said Joanne, as she found herself beaten. "Us girls need time to get ready!" came Paula's voice from inside. "You're only going to school!" said Joanne. "And you're only going to college," said Paula as she left. Leaving Joanne to occupy the bathroom, Paula returned to her room and got dressed. It was going to feel strange going to school like this, but it certainly felt better. Brushing her hair, she placed a hairband into it and picked up her bag. Laura smiled as she came into the kitchen for breakfast. "The day has arrived," she said. "Your new life really has begun." "And Kelly's week is going to start on a high," added Paula. After finishing her breakfast, she was about to leave when Laura stopped her. "Put these in your bag," she said, handing her two tampons. "Thanks, I've got to remember them," said Paula. "Bye mom, see you later." "Bye sweetheart," said Laura. Paula headed for school with "Operation: Surprise Kelly" in mind. It was a simple plan that required just a slight change of routine. Rather than taking the back gates, Paula took the main entrance. As she entered, non of the other pupils took any notice of her. She even passed Kevin and Linda, but they never noticed her and she never called them. Paula only had one thing on her mind. She ventured across the grounds until she came to the back gates. She could see Kelly standing by them, waiting for Paul to arrive. She walked slowly and quietly over to her. "Excuse me, are you Kelly Walker?" she asked, tapping Kelly on the shoulder. "Who's asking?" said Kelly, who started to turn around. She did so and it took barely a moment for her to recognise the face. "Ohmygodohmygod! It's you! Its really you!" she cried, hugging her, before Paula leant in and kissed her. "How? How is it you're like this? Your voice?" said Kelly, out of breath. "Long story," said Paula. "But, just for the record, I have a nice wet pussy which tastes rather good." "You've got a vagina?!" said Kelly. "And you've tried it?!" "Yes, but I want you to taste it," smiled Paula. "You know I will," said Kelly, hugging her once more, tears flowing. "I've missed you so much." "I've missed you too," said Paula, kissing her once more. Neither seemed to notice some boys shouting "Dyke" taunts at them. "You know the score, Paula Smith," said Kelly. "You've got some explaining to do at dinner. But dressed like that?" "Its ok. I'm officially a girl now. I can come to school dressed like this, and you will get an explanation," said Paula. "Ok, I'll look forward to it," said Kelly, drying her eyes. "You look beautiful by the way." "And so do you," said Paula. "There goes the bell. See you later," said Kelly. "Don't tell the others though," said Paula. "I'll try not to," said Kelly, who was finding it hard to take her eyes off Paula. Paula knew that the first few moments of school would clear up the matter of whether she was officially recognised as female. Form class. She sat in her usual seat and looked around at the other students to see if there was any reaction. It was all positive or so it seemed. So much more when another girl that she had never been on speaking terms with, called over to her. "Hi Paula. See you're feeling better." "Yes, much better thanks," said Paula, though she sensed that the comment wasn't particulary friendly. No one seemed to realise that a boy called Paul had been replaced by a girl called Paula. Even when the Form tutor called out the register, she called out "Paula Smith" rather than "Paul Smith". "It's as though I've always been a girl and that Paul never existed," thought Paula. "Yet everyone who knew Paul personally knows different." It was strange how everyone had suddenly started seeing her as a girl. She knew that as soon as classes started, that she would be meeting another friend. Mike didn't notice the red haired girl until he walked into the classroom and found her sitting in Paul's usual chair. "Excuse me, but my friend sits there," he said to her. "I know he does," said Paula. "Because I'm him." Mike looked at Paula for a moment. His mind was certainly going slow. "Is your brain in another universe?" asked Paula, seeing that Mike was apparently in no hurry. "My name is Paula Smith." "Bloody hell!" he replied. "You could have told me. How come you're dressed like that?" "Because I'm a girl, stupid. So, which planet did your brain just return from?" asked Paula. "You even sound like a girl," he added. "Your brain is breaking records today," said Paula. "Oi, dufus. Do you know your friend is a dyke?" said one boy passing close by. "What do you mean?" asked Mike. "Only saw her snogging a blonde," said the boy. Mike turned to Paula. "What's he mean? Doesn't he know?" he asked Paula. "With the exception of you, Kelly, my family and likely Kevin, Linda and Alicia, everyone else in this building sees me as a girl, born and bred," said Paula. "Strange, that makes no sense. I presume he saw you and Kelly together," said Mike. "Presume so. I thought I heard something. Narrow minded git," said Paula. "So, when did all this happen?" asked Mike. "Leaving this till dinner. Its a long story and Kevin, Linda and Alicia will want to know too," said Paula. "Ok, have you met anyone else, apart from Kelly?" asked Mike. "Did see Linda and Kevin, but they didn't notice me. Apart from that, no," said Paula. Until dinner, Paula had to remind Mike not to ask more questions. He was just amazed that Paula's comments about how everyone else saw her as a girl were being confirmed throughout the day. Finally, dinner break came and Paula arrived at the usual table to find Kelly, Linda and Alicia already there. "Hi everyone," she said "Where's Kevin?" Alicia and Linda were dumbstruck. They had seen Paula arrive, noticing her attire. Then hearing her. They got up from their seats and went to get a closer look. "Yes, thats my new voice," she added, before getting hugged. "It's unbelievable!" said Linda. "You've been dressed that way and got away with it?" "I take it you deliberately switched off your phone for this," said Alicia. "Sorry, but I wanted to keep it a surprise," said Paula. "I'll explain when the boys arrive." "You had any homophobic chants thrown your way?" asked Kelly. "Yes, as a matter of fact," replied Paula. "I take it you have?" "Ignore the bastards," said Linda. "They're just gits who think they're big for putting people down." "It doesn't bother me, unless they go further," said Paula. Kevin arrived with his dinner, sat down and looked across. Paula was still standing and he was thankful he had already placed his tray down. "What the... Is that you Paul?" he asked. "In the flesh," said Paula. "Holy crap, your voice!" said Kevin. "It suits me, don't you think?" asked Paula. "And call me Paula now, if you don't mind." "Ok, I will. Once someone punches me and I snap out of this dream," he replied. "Ouch!" "Will that do?" asked Linda. "Not that hard," said Kevin. "So, I'm not dreaming. You're a girl now, but about dressing as one here?" "In a moment," said Paula. "Ah, heres the last to arrive, as usual." Mike took his place besides Alicia. "Ok, all present," said Alicia. "Right, here goes," said Paula, sitting down. She began to explain the details of the past few days, starting from Wednesday up to the events of Saturday. The others did ask questions, which Paula did answer. By the time everything had been explained (the orgasms had been omitted), they were having to hastily finish their dinners. * * * "We'll have to meet at my house again," said Alicia. "Though how to explain to mom and dad about how you now sound like a girl." They were heading back to their form rooms. Kelly pulled Paula to one side. "Hope you have a PE kit. Got the block run tomorrow," she said. "I have, and to be doing the block run twice in successive weeks," sighed Paula. "Do we shower too?" "We do. Don't forget the shampoo, and remember, I have idle hands!" she grinned. "Ok, and another thing. Don't let anyone put you down for being gay," said Paula. The day ended just fine, except for Mike asking annoying questions: "Whats it like to have a vagina?". Paula honestly felt like hitting him at times, but in plain view of the teacher, no. Meeting up with Kelly as usual, Paula headed home feeling much happier. "I love your hair," said Kelly. "Really nice style." "I like it too," smiled Paula. "Its been a strange week, with me finally becoming a girl, and my records now magically changing to show it." "Don't be offended, but you look so much better now," said Kelly. "I'm not. I'm happy as a girl, and I'm more than happy to be in love with you," said Paula. They shared a passionate kiss. "What if anyone sees us?" asked Kelly. "Sod them," said Paula, continuing the kiss. "I just wish there was somewhere where we could make out." "I wish there was. Oh Paula, you make me so hot," said Kelly. "You make me feel the same way," said Paula, smiling. They hugged and said their goodbyes. Paula arrived home and took off her jumper and tie. Sitting down in the living room, she waited for someone to speak. "So, how did your first day go?" asked Laura. "It's as we thought, everyone sees me as Paula, as though I was born this way. Only my friends know different," said Paula. "Did get some boys calling me a dyke though." "They saw you and Kelly together?" asked Laura. "Yes. I'm not ashamed either. We love one another and if it offends people, then tough to them." "I like your attitude, but maybe don't do it too often in school," said Laura. "But school is one of the few times we get to do it, apart from walking home together," said Paula. "Well, just as long as you don't get bothered further. But I expect the teachers would just tell you what I've just told you," said Laura. "Anyway, no other problems?" "Nearly went in the boys toilets. Lucky no one was there to see it," said Paula. "And no period either." "Just hang onto those tampons. You'll get your first one day," said Laura. "Oh, I almost forgot. Got you a frame for that photo of yours." Paula took the silver coloured frame and looked at it. "Its perfect," she replied. "Thanks mom." She went upstairs and found the photo from Alicia's party. Inserting it into the frame, she then placed it on her desk. Later, during dinner, Paula's school day was discussed further. "If everyone else thinks you're a girl, then it would be best if we followed them," said Laura. "But why?" asked Paula. "You know I was a boy to begin with." "I'm not denying it, but should anyone try to tell someone else, it will make them seem mad," said Laura. "Ok, so I go around and pretend that I've been a girl all my life. But I don't have any girl memories. My memories are Paul's memories," "Ok, so we create some for you," said Laura. "We just need to rewrite those you have, so that it was you and not Paul," said Alex. "But how? I have so many memories!" said Paula. "We can sort that out. But maybe not yet. See how things go," said Laura. "Just get used to your new life first," said Alex. In light of this, Paula phoned Alicia up. "Hi Paula. Want to come round on Saturday?" she said. "Is this with Kelly?" asked Paula. "Of course," said Alicia. "Sure, but I wanted to ask you something," said Paula. "Fire away. I'm all ears," said Alicia. "My mom suggested it, its about how everyone else seems to believe I was born a girl." "Yes," said Alicia. "Well, it would be best if you played along if anyone asked about me," said Paula. "Thats a good idea. Bring up the subject tomorrow at dinner. But back to Saturday, you said you wanted to come?" "Yes I did. What time?" asked Paula. "Same time as last?" said Alicia. "Ok, I'll see you then. Give my love to Kelly." "Will do. Bye then," said Alicia. Putting down her phone, Paula went and picked up one of the photo albums that chronicled her life as Paul. "I wonder if my past can be edited?" she thought as she looked at photos of the boy she used to be. The door to her room was ajar and she noticed Laura making a trip to the bathroom. When she saw her leave minutes later, she called her. "Mom, I've been thinking," she said. "About what?" asked Laura. "About a false past for myself. Can't you say I'm a tomboy that has discovered her inner girl?" "That would at least be a reason for your short hair and boys attire," said Laura. "But you need a reason to have abandoned boys clothes for dresses and swapping short hair for long." Paula thought this through. "Kelly! Kelly doesn't like tomboys, or more to it, butch girls. I felt so strongly for her that I decided to become a girl for her. Does that work?" "It does," said Laura. "But one thing you told me earlier bothers me. You said that a girl spoke to you today, one who never spoke to you as Paul." "I know. She spoke as though she knew me. You don't think I should talk to her?" asked Paula. "I don't know, but why did she suddenly talk to you?" "Ok, I will talk to her. But honestly, the idea of me being a tomboy?" said Paula. "Certainly a good idea," said Laura. "I might say that I'm glad to see my daughter is acting like a girl for once." Paula just smiled. Laura started stroking her hair. "I always knew your hair would look better long." "Mom, this is just an act, isn't it?" asked Paula. "Yes, of course it is," she smiled. "But I am glad you want long hair. I'm also happy that you've stood by Kelly and become a lesbian. But most of all, that you've kept the memory of Paul alive in your interest of motorcars. "Do you like me better as Paula or as Paul?" asked Paula. "Sweetheart, you are just a different sex now. You are still the child I had over 16 years ago and I love you as much now as I did then. But what about you?" "I do like being a girl. I don't know why, but it feels right," said Paula. "So, if the chance came along to make you a boy again, what would you do?" "I'd refuse it. I'm happy as I am." "Then I'll stand by you if ever such a choice did happen," said Laura taking her in a hug "By the way, Alicia invited me over on Saturday. I said I'd go," said Paula. "Then go. I'm not stopping you," said Laura. "Thanks mom."
