Obey The Rules free porn video

--- The Rules --- "Don't think about it, you know the rules!" A sentence Noah heard often in the last years, this time from his secretary. After his graduation in Business Economics and Administration, his father thought, it is a good idea to give him a job in the family business. And force him to move back to their mansion in Percsworth. He hates it. His job, 'Supervisor at large', is useless. It's that kind of employment, that the people of the village don't talk, and for his humiliation. His father telling him, that he can not reach anything on his own. In difference to his older brother, Paul, who is the perfect son, at least for his father. Not only, that he is years older, he also studied Mechanical Engineering. Noah won't forget that fact, as Paul often reminds him, that this is the real stuff, not a "theory-based fake science", as he tells it. Noah never understood this point. Additionally to his "superior" degree, he also married months after he sold his startup. Of cause, his brother had the best degrees, and of cause, his wife Phoebe gave birth to his nephew. That is the way, which is also planned for Noah. So an excellent diploma, find a wife during the study and settle down in Percsworth, after your excellent degree. In the best way, the wife is also from Percsworth, and does something creative, until she marries in their early twenties. Then, they give birth to some children and live a life as a housewife. As their parents did, and their children will do. The unwritten rules of Percsworth say it so. There are plenty of other rules, who are applying for Noah, but he didn't care much. His father once said that these rules are keeping up the wealth of Percsworth. But Noah thinks, that their purpose is to control the young adults, enforced by their money. Paul and Phoebe are living exactly these role-model. From his young years, his brother is grown to be the successor of his father. In the next years, Paul will be promoted to the co-boss besides his father. His father only waits, until Paul finished building his family. As a "gift" to the birth of his son, his father gave him a reduction of his work time. Paul doesn't need to work twelve hours a day, now only eight. A "modern" thing, his father is very proud of. Noah finds that kinda silly, but he can't complain, with the workload of nothing, his days are very boring. This day, he searched for a wife to buy, but his secretary caught him and told him that this is against the rules. This was his latest plan to get away from his father: marry and do his own life, as the rules say. His bought bride will join some of the constant-drunk housewives of Percsworth, and he can do his own business. The mother of the future husband of his sister is such a woman. After giving birth to her three children, she became constantly drunk. On her typical day, she does the basic housework and then meets up with other wives of the village to drink champagne or cocktails the rest of the day. Every single day. Their "freedom" to be a housewife. Noah won't call that freedom, but they do. Like his brother never wanted to be something else than the successor of his father, his sister never wanted to be something else, than a housewife. Noah wants neither and has something, that is different from them. He is gay, and that does not fit in the corset of rules. There is no way to be a male housewife, even not a drunk one. So, there is no way, that his parents are accepting his boyfriend, as it does not fit the rules. He tried it multiple times to tell it to his father, and even kissing the ass of his father in doing his perfect-graded degree for him. If he decided, he would have studied philosophy, but no way his father would accept that. His father does not even know that, but his mother does. She knew he wanted to be free, independent, at any cost, and not like the other young adults: brave and submissive. In his teen years, she did a lot for him, fixing lots of the consequences of him breaking the Percsworth rules. He is very thankful to her for doing that, but she is also just the wife of his father, and can't change the rules, which are slowly crushing his life. In his first semesters, he tried to talk with other students about that, but they often can't even imagine living under such rules. The only student, who understands his troubles is his friend Ollie, the younger brother of Phoebe. They met at the first-year student party of the college and became a couple in the following years. Lucas Alfie Oliver Woods, as he is fully named, also didn't fit in the rules of Percsworth. He also hates them, but only stretched them, not broke them, like Noah. He is quite more intelligent, than him, and has a definitive plan to escape from the rules. He wants to join, and later take over, the vinery of his grandparents on the hills of Percsworth. He spends lots of time in his childhood there, and he was kinda free there. As a third-born child, he has no liabilities for the company of his father. So, he is allowed to study Wine Economics and take over the vinery, if he has a future housewife on his side. For Ollie, that isn't a problem, as he's bisexual and has no problem finding a possible wife. The main thing, that keeps him from splitting up with Noah is the incredibly good sex they have. Something no woman so far gave him, and he tried a lot. When they lived together in the city, Noah wasn't envious of those women. As he isn't into them, it wasn't cheating for him. Since he needed to move back to Percsworth and is only allowed to see Ollie once a month. With thought about Ollie and a woman, he now has a panic, that Ollie will drop him. He knows, that he is in the way of Ollie's life plans. It seems very realistic, that Ollie favors a woman and the winery over him. So he'll be stuck alone again in Percsworth when Ollie starts his practical year at the vinery with this future wife. So what will he do? He doesn't know. He often tried to get financially independent from his father, tested a lot of business ideas with different people, all failed. He even tried to refuse the money from his father, but after a month, he realized, that he can't live without all the stuff, he can buy from it. The only thing that worked is bets on horse races, which he and Ollie visited from time to time. Or it just gave him a kick, he only got there. he never lost the money, he set but it didn't get much more. The bet sums grown to keep up the kick, and at some point, it vanished. The good feeling he got, when betting, gone away. So, they moved on to the casino and bet there on all kinds of games, currently mainly poker games. All those bets are a quite weird mixture of releasing the pressure from his father, earning money, and foreplay for the later sex. Noah often thought about this weird mix, but he really likes it. -- The Bet --- One day, they argued about the wedding of Noah's sister next month. The problem is, that they are both invited, and Ollie doesn't want to get any struggles there. They can't hide their relationship anymore, but without the coming-out of, they must. Noah understands the problem, but there is currently no solution for that. Together with the pressure from their parents, and Ollie's life plans, a toxic mixture for their relationship. And such dispute happens every time, Noah visits Ollie in the last months. They put down the dispute, as usual, and start their foreplay in visiting the casino. There, they normally bet on poker games. One, two hours, as usual betting some money is their usual way before having sex, but this time, it is different. The good-feeling kicks of their poker bets were missing, which depressed Noah really hard. He does not want to accept, that is also losing this joy in his life. He partially accepted that he'll lose Ollie very soon, but losing also this kick, is not acceptable for him. Seeing Noah's depressed mood, a guy in the casino offered him another, way more illegal way to regain their kick: Illegal poker bets in an underground casino next door. For legal reasons, they weren't allowed to play in poker games where they bet. The underground casino offered this new way, play with their money, and also bet on the results. As this sounds interesting, both men agreed to give it a try. The man was right, they regained their kick while betting and so, they were playing this game all night long. Ollie did a neat job, not losing much money, but Noah hadn't so much luck, losing thousands of credits. So, Ollie forced Noah to leave the casino. The next days, Noah begged Ollie to go again to this casino, and at some point, he can't resist the wish of his poker-addicted love. This evening Noah also lost a high sum of money and was blank. Ollie, who only lost fifty credits at this point, rejected this begs for credits until a man approached Noah. He offered them a game without any credits in another room and Noah was instantly on fire, begging Ollie to go to this room. As the constant begging and the seeming gambling addition of his love gave him desperate feelings, he agreed for one round. The rules of the game in this room are like the other rules, but instead of betting credits, they got 5000 chips and the first, who runs out of chips must go to the Modificator. The winner of this game decides, with which modifications. As the kick of potentially losing their free will for the rest of their life is very hard. Noah was even more on fire for the game and Ollie joined in. It is just too thrilling to play this game against four strangers and his love. So, the thrilling game starts. The first rounds of the game have good results for Noah and Ollie. Noah earns a thousand chips and Ollie even more. Their chances are good to not go to the Modificator. A round later, Noah has a Heart King and a Tile Ten, so he decides to pay the blind. His heart skips a beat when the first flop reveals a Pike Queen, a Heart Nine, and a Clove Jack on the river. These cards are matching perfectly for a straight. Noah starts the bet with five hundred chips, and three other players folding their cards, while the fourth and Ollie call the bet. The next flop reveals a Tile Five, so Noah starts the betting round with thousand chips. The two other players are calling the bid and, after collecting the chips, the dealer reveals the last card: The Heart Jack. "This should be a safe win," thinks Noah while betting again a thousand chips. This results in a fold by the other unknown player, so only Noah and Ollie remaining in the game. Ollie raises again with a thousand chips until his friend does the unthinkable action: He says that he goes All-In. Shocked by the move of his friend, Ollie calls the pot, leaving him only 500 remaining chips. Ollie knows, that he'll win this game and hopes the best for his friend. Noah looks into Ollies shocked face and knew; this is the possible end of their relationship. Whoever wins this pot is likely to win the game, who loses, is going to the Modificator. The other players were also shocked by the moves, they didn't expect to get a loser so fast. The dealer tells them to reveal their cards. Noah starts revealing his cards. The dealer confirms that he has a straight, and Ollie shows his cards. A Tile Jack and a Pike Jack, Four-Of-A-Kind. Noah's face became as white as chalk, as he slowly recognizes, that he not only lost this game but also his self-determined being. "Shit," he shouts as he realizes, what that means. His thoughts rotate around two things: How does he tell this to his father, that he gambled away his money and his life and What he will become. As Ollie gets the stacks of chips, he hopes, that Ollie plays well to win, so he will not be modified by a stranger. He calmed himself to watch the game, with this fact and there are possibly only a few consequences for him. Round by round, Ollie gained more chips, bluffing most of the time so after a while, only two players are left. With a Three-Of-A-Kind, his friend wins the remaining chips and is now in control of his life. Noah is eased, as Ollie loves him, he won't modify him a lot. He empties his pockets, giving his wallet and key to Ollie, and willingly steps into the tube-shaped Modificator in a corner of the room. The door of the tube closes, and arms came out of the sides to remove his clothes. Noah is now naked, and a red laser surrounds him, scanning his body. After the red laser finished its job, he is forced to wait for the procedure to start. With the lack of any orientation, Noah gets more and more nervous, asking himself, what does take so long with this process. -- Ollie's Prize -- Outside of the tube, the dealer gives Ollie a tablet. It shows a three- dimensional model of the naked Noah and buttons for the modifiable parts of Noah. This includes all body parts from head to feet, his brain, and some general stuff like size, sex, and name. His win put Ollie in a dilemma. He had the chance of his life to fix most of his social issues, but he does not want to fix it for the love of his life. He really loves Noah, especially the sex with him, but in the past year, he got mad with each day in his hometown. Ollie knows, that being under the observation of his parents isn't good for Noah, he always was in a bad mood after he visited them in his student years. But Ollie is on a similar path, his parents forcing him to get a girlfriend as soon as possible, regardless of the consequences for him and his grandparents in the next years. If he hasn't a wife-to-be, he is not allowed to work in a winery. A stupid idea, but logical in the eyes of his parents. This dilemma reminds him once more of Noah's words, that this whole society is a total fuck-up for young people. Without his parents, Noah would have been a really great philosopher, but they do not accept such art with no money in it. With the words of his independent-thinking friend in his head, he decides to do a radical step for both. To execute his radical plan, Ollie begins with the sex switch. He sets it to female and the tablet tells him to wait, while the changes are begin rendered. A few seconds later, the virtual Noah is shown again, now as a woman. Ollie is impressed, how good the woman on the tablet looks and he needs some moments to identify the altered face as those of friend Noah. "Does he really want to turn him into this female being?" he fears while looking at this well-proportioned female with small breasts. He moves his doubts away from him and reminds himself to concentrate on his plan. A quick execution will avoid him overthink his plan and its flaws, he can think about them later. He tells himself, continuing with the most crucial part, the mind alterations. The switch for the mental gender is already set to 100% female, so he begins with the second most influential change. He sets the mindset of his friend to the typical housewife of his social class, which results in lots of further changes to the given options. He reads through the proposed changes and modifies them to let the future female be more like his beloved friend. As consequence, Ollie changes a slider from obedient to demure. He thinks that this should be enough for the future female to fit in. Also, he changes the rebelliousness slider to let Noah regain a bit of his current attitude, a trait Ollie loves in Noah. He thinks about other things he loves about Noah and decides to let him be more open-minded than suggested. Combined with the demureness this shouldn't cause any social problem, but let his friend be more himself, at least a bit. He checks the whole set of the character and attitude settings and is fine with them. In his opinion, she will have a lot easier life without all these worries, who are constantly bugging Noah. The only hassle he can't fix is her age, 24 is a late age for women in his social class to settle down. But at least she'll settle down very soon. Continuing with his memories, Ollie removes all about bets and gambling games but leaves those of his male self-unchanged. Ollie wants her to know, what he had done. He adds knowledge about wines to let her fit in his family and finishes the brain modifications with this step. He checks if he hasn't forgotten something about the Reynolds family, which the future female must know. He doesn't know anything missing or needs, as the female Noah will stay with him for at least another three weeks. This gives Ollie enough time to get him out of the Reynolds residence. He is happy with his choices, he leaves the brain menu, thinking about the glorious future, her altered mind will give them together. After leaving the brain menu, the tables ask him, as a consequence of the sex change in his brain, for a new name. For this purpose, he needs to insert the ID and driving license of the modification object. The name is a hard question for Ollie, so he first puts in Noah's ID card and driving license in the slots on the Modificator. The tablet registers this and the input field are now showing Noah's full name and a couple of matching female names underneath it. The field for the last name is completely editable, but as Ollie decided, that she will keep her former self, he saves the last name directly. It should be just a change from Mr. Reynolds to Ms. Reynolds, Mrs. Woods must wait. As all people in his social league are having three names, he must think about an equivalent for all of them. Spencer is an easy match for him as he selects the first suggestion, Speranza, from the list. He knows that a somehow exotic name is always good to have. Lewis has two closer choices: Leonie or Lewina. As he already has selected an exotic name, he decides to change it to Leonie. But the remaining first name, Noah, is difficult. The female forms suggested, Noelene or Noa, didn't really fit. Noelle as the third choice isn't a classy name, so he thinks a bit more outside the box. He needs to find something else, he thinks, as he looks through the other suggestions. Seconds later, he finds a name that fits: Nathalia. This name suits perfectly. He confirms it. Finished the mind alterations, he is ready to continue with the body modifications. At least for Ollie, this is the easier part of the modification, as most are already done. He starts with the head, changing the hair color to brown. He loves brown hair, and why not change it, when he has the opportunity? Additionally, he moves up the cheekbones a bit to give her an even cuter look, at least in his opinion. Looking at the result, he really likes her face. It looks very familiar and foreign at the same time, which turns him on. The only thing which still does not look right is her hair, which seems a bit too short. So, he uses the length slider to extend it behind her shoulders to her back as a finishing touch of the head modifications. Back in the main menu, he sees, that she will still be slightly higher than him. As he always liked women who are smaller than him, he reduced her size to be a couple of inches smaller than him. Ollie looks at her body, which gives him a smile. He is really happy with the suggestions for the body of his future wife. The only thing which does not seem right is her breasts. He finds them a bit small for shoulders, so he increases her cup size one step. They look now way better for his taste, so finishes the editing and takes a look at her complete body again. As he sees her, he is very satisfied with the result of his changes. This is exactly the woman he wants to have for the rest of his life. It seems to be the right thing. After confirming the changes, he got a weak feeling in his stomach. Did he really give the commands to change his rebellious, rule-hating friend to a demure housewife, like all the women in his family are? Yes, he did, and it feels very bad. His doubts continue, is this woman, who soon will walk outside the tube, really so lovable like Noah was? And if not, does he want to be together with this woman for the rest of his life and not just search for another one? He clams himself down, thinking about Noah's father and that Noah was really close to a mental breakdown due to the pressure on him. The only thing he didn't know, was when the breakdown happens. But when it happens, Noah will be locked away from him in a luxurious lunatic asylum for the rest of his life. Mental disorders do not fit in their wealthy class. So, prevent Noah from his bad fate and an act of loving care. At least he tries to talk himself to believe it. He knows he is doing the thing, but it feels really bad. He knows that he will have to digest his decisions for a long time. --- Noah's Price --- Inside the modifier, Noah is very nervous. For him, it feels like an eternity until something moves again. The tube is made of metal, so he can see his naked body reflecting in front of him. Finally, something moves inside the tube. A cover comes to his eyes and he hears a laser summing around his body, removing most of his body hair. He starts giggling, as the laser hits his armpits, after having removed his leg, genital and body hair. Noah expected this step, as he always complained about his armpit hair. He assumes, that he does not need to worry about it anymore. His chin begins to heat up, like his legs and armpits, and Noah wonders, why also his facial hair is removed. Something is wrong, but he can't say what. As the lasers finished their job, needles are injecting a liquid into his neck, arms, legs, and his hips. Numbness spreads across his body, which worries him even more. Ollie often said, that his body is nearly perfect, so he assumed, that he will not do anything harmful with it. And this numbness feels like harm, especially as it extends into his brain. His consciousness slowly fades away, like narcosis is going to take effect. His thoughts and worries are gone. He stopped thinking, staring at the blurred image of himself in front of him. Like a robot, he stands in the tube, waiting for his fate. Having finished the preparations, the modifier starts the invasive procedure. Plates are squeezing his waist to a more female shape and a stick is inserted into his anus. Inside his body, the stick slowly widens his pelvis, supported by the nanobots inside his body. The nanobots supporting the reshaping in adapting his inner organs. They are reducing his lung size, rearranging his bladder, and supporting the sticks and plates. Half-round devices emerging from the sides, enclosing his legs and his arms. They heat up Noah's trained muscles, melting them down to fit in his new figure. They crush Noah's bones to reduce their weight and length, adjusting joints and putting them together again. His leg muscles and fat is moved upwards to his upper legs, to form wider thighs and shorter, thinner lower legs. All these processes are supported by nanobots. Not only, that they numbed his body, they also took control over his brain. There, the nanobots are removing some of his neurons, reprogram others, and more to reach their goal. This is very clear, the strong-willed Noah should change into a docile one, and adapted to his new body. For that, the brain needs to fully recognize his female being, know the new name, and adopt the new mindset. The usual way to do it is a very quick and destructive one. They flood the brain, crush down most neurons, change the remaining and call it a day. This takes minutes, and result in docile, very stupid humans. Ollie didn't want that, he wanted to keep memories and Noah's intelligence. As consequence, they have to adapt large parts of his brain in a non- destructive way, which will take hours. As consequence, they focus on the changes to allow her to go to bed when body modification is finished. They can continue their work, while she sleeps, and force their way out with natural processes- The stick in his anus has finished its job, likewise the leg and arm plates. They move back to the side, where they came from and revealing juicy hips with soft arms and legs. In the next step, Glove-shaped devices are pressed on the hands, shoe-like devices on the feet. They are slimming down his hands and feet, as the waist squeezer has also finished its job. As Ollie wanted, he has now a new, very female hourglass figure and the intended height. Cup-shaped devices are docking on his chest and his butt, continuing the change of Noah's body. When he stepped into the modifier, Noah hat a nice-shaped round butt. Now, after the adaption of his hips to be birth- friendly gave it a flat look. The cups quickly fixes this in enlarging it, resulting in a round, optical even fuller form. On his chest, the cups are stimulating his nipples and forcing them to grow. With the help of nanobots, they are building up mammary ducts. In parallel, they inject fat above them, until the skin also pushes on the walls of the metal cups. They finish in releasing a pair of nice-shaped breasts, perfectly suiting to his body. A vibrating stick removed Noah's large Adam's apple, as the shoes finished their task. Together with the gloves, they releasing small, dainty hands and feet. On his head, a shaver removes Noah's short black hair and three tubes begin to suck in his penis and his testicles. Two of them are shock- frosting his testicles, followed by a stick ramming them inside his body. Nanobots are taking over the cold testicles, moving them further upwards. The large tube sucks in his penis and then cuts it into two parts. Like his testicles, his glans, and his shaft is pushed inside his body. There the nanobots took care of it. They further splitting his shaft, transforming them into the uterus. Together with the testicles, they form full-functioning ovaries and a uterus. They align the glans and the prostate to their new function, so they form a complete vagina and clitoris. The remaining skin of his testicles and his penis is pushed towards his body. There, they are formed into labia, giving Noah complete female genitals. At the same time, as his genitalia are changed, a mask is covering his face. This mask crushed his bones, to reduce his jaw. Also, his frontal and temporal bones are changed to give him a more female face. Then, his nose is reduced to a smaller version, similar, to his cheekbones are moved up to the wished position. Not, that these steps are necessary, but it gives the face a remarkable female look, and that's what Ollie wants. At the same time, as his reproduction organ is finished, the mask also moves away from his face. A liquid is applied to his head, which changes his hair color to brown. As the finishing step, the machine dresses Nathalia in a black dress, together with a bra, a slip, and pumps. At the moment, the machine zipped her dress, her hair begins to grow past her shoulder, down her back, as Ollie wished. The nanobots are waking her up from the narcosis, giving her back control over her body. Outside the tube, Ollie is nervously walking around the poker table. It was one thing to quickly decide the changes, but another to wait for the result. Without any rest, he thinks about his decisions, what person might come out of the Modificator, and if he will love that person. At some point, the dealer asked him to choose the clothes of his prize. Without any rest, he grabbed the tablet, has chosen a simple black dress with basic underwear and flat pumps. He knows, what Noah likes, but not what Nathalia does, so he picked the simplest option. And this one was the first shown up. In the room, the other four players are talking about their past prizes, but Ollie doesn't care. In his nervousness, he does not even listen to them, sunken in his thoughts. With every minute passing by, he is more and more struggling with his choice. The confidence, that he made the right thing vanished away and he more and more thinks, that he ruined Noah's life. Not an eternity, but twelve minutes after Ollie confirmed his choice, the Modificator makes a sound. After he collected her ID and her driving license, the dealer told him, how to handle her. As mind changes are still ongoing, she needs some sleep, and will not remind the next hours. This is only an effect of the heavy mind alterations and the whole procedure, so he doesn't need to worry. Those will finish about three to four hours after the start of the modification, but she will be able to walk on her own. He should pick her up like a drunk person and take her out of here as sleeping is not allowed in the casino. Tensely, he looks at the door of the Modificator, which is now opening. The dizzy Nathalia stumbles out "Where am I?" Nathalia asks, after stumbling out of the Modificator. Ollie quickly grabs her, as she has problems while standing. "Honey, you are drunk, we need to go home," he lies, as the dealer told him. He stabilizes her and slow walks with her out of the room. He guides her out of the casino, where nobody seems to mention the drunk woman, to her car parked a block away. He guides her to the passenger seat, fastens her belt, and sits down himself on the driver seat. He did this lots of times before, so he knows exactly how a drunk Noah is reacting. He drives to his flat, where he puts her to bed, only undressing her shoes. It was complicated enough to get her outside the car, without her falling to the floor, into the escalator, and into this bed. He is too tired for the torture of removing her dress, even if he thought about it, to take a look at her new naked body. So, he covers her with the blanket and lets the drunk beauty sleep. he switches his clothes to a pajama and lays down next to her. The last poker game was so thrilling, and the way home so exhausting, he quickly falls to sleep, dreaming of his new girlfriend. --- The Morning After -- Ollie wakes up from the ringing of his phone. Nathalia still sleeps like a baby, so he lets her sleep. 8am on a Sunday, "What maniac calls this early on a Sunday?" he asks himself as his phone stops ringing only to be replaced by the ringing of Nathalia's phone. He looks at the display and sees that her father is calling. "Shit, he noticed the huge amounts of money, he lost last night," he thinks and answers the call. Mr. Reynolds does not even notice that Ollie is on the phone. He shouts ten minutes about the inability of his son to handle money, how stupid he is, and that this will have consequences if he does not show up with his girlfriend in two weeks. "I'm sorry for your loss," Ollie truthfully answers. Mr. Reynolds quickly realized his mistake and excuses himself for his words. Diplomatic, Ollie tells him the truth that Noah didn't come home last night and lies, that Noah forgot his phone. Mr. Reynolds excuses the interruption and says that Noah should call him back later. Ollie replies that he thinks that this will not happen and that he heard, that he will come back home the next Sunday. Mr. Reynolds, surprised by his answer, says to him, that his stupid son is only welcome if he brings his girlfriend to lunch. Ollie says that he will forward his words and finishes the call by wishing him good luck. He adds the lunch to his calendar and decides to go to sleep again as he is still tired. He falls quickly to sleep continuing the nightmares he had before the call. Some stupid mix-up of all the fears he had after he agreed to Noah's transformation. Hours later, Nathalia wakes up with terrible headaches. As she can't remember last night, she assumes that this is the reason for the headaches. She takes a look at Ollie's alarm clock, 1pm, and decides to stand up. "What the hell did I do last night," she asks herself as she notices, that she is still wearing a black dress. Ollie on her side is still sleeping, and she decides to let him do that. It must have been hard to get her to bed, in such a drunk state, that she totally forgot the evening. She walks to the kitchen and drinks a glass of tap water. Four glasses later, her headaches are fading out. Instead of her head, her stomach grumbles and she sprints to the bathroom. As she sits on the toilet, her stomach grumbles, and releases thin shit to the bowl. Having released that excrement, she feels a lot better. Her headaches are gone and her stomach stopped grumbling. So, she decides to do some breakfast or lunch or whatever, essentially something to eat. She swears to herself, not to drink so much alcohol again. She washes her hand in the bathroom and looks in the mirror over the sink. "Strange, no makeup," she thinks and decides to ask Ollie about last night, as this does not fit her theory. She fixes her messy hair, she goes back to the kitchen, to make some food. The fridge mainly contains eggs, so she picks a package of them, and scrambles them with milk and seasons. She fills the liquid in a pan with some oil and begins to fry it. In the bedroom, Ollie awakes from kitchen sounds. He looks to his left, seeing an empty bed, and then to his alarm clock. "Shit, Noah is already awake," he thinks and quickly gets out of the bed. After changing to a loose shirt and trousers, he goes to the kitchen, where a woman is frying eggs. "Wait, where's Noah?" he asks her. "Good morning darling, I don't know, where Noah is," she answers and giving him a kiss. "Nevermind, you look great," he replies and sits down glancing at her beautiful body. He reminds himself, that this woman IS Noah. She puts the scrambled egg into two dishes and these on the table together with two cups of coffee and two forks. "Enjoy your meal!" she tells him after sitting down on the other side of the small desk. Ollie's kitchen is small but suits his purposes as a student. He also wishes her a nice meal and starts eating a simple breakfast. "Wow, so delicious," he thinks as he continues eating the eggs. Noah was good at cooking simple meals, but Nathalia seems to be better. Noah's eggs always had a bit too much seasoning, but these are on point. While he chews, he looks in her face, thinking about last night and his weird dreams. "Maybe my decision was totally right." he thinks about the happy woman in front of him, which sums a melody he can't recognize. "Do you know what happened last night? I had terrible headaches this morning and woke up without any makeup in my dress," she asks him after a while. "Yes, we had lots of fun last night," he asks in an unspecific way, as he does not know how much she can remember her male life. She is fine with the answer and continues to sum while doing breakfast. "That was too easy," he thinks, until he remembers, that she simply doesn't know much anymore about last night. The first part was erased and the second she hasn't recognized. She definitely made her clues and he confirmed her. Without any more words, they finished the meal and she begins to wash up the dishes and the cups. She continues summing the melody and Ollie is surprised. First, Noah always had a bad mood in the morning, a thing Ollie hated about him. Second, she voluntarily does the wash-up, Noah never wanted to do that. He needed at least two reminders until he did it. Looking at her, he knows, that this woman is quite a different league in this case. He set her to be a happy housewife, and nobody would believe, that she is the grumpy Noah, at least not in this situation. Only, that Ollie knows it. And he is fascinated, by the behavior change, Noah had. It only bugs him, that the situation seems so normal for her, but so completely new for him. He knows, that this is only logical, but it is still odd. She changed completely last night, not him, or does she even remember the change? She seems to have other thoughts, that are bugging her, as she asks him, "Why are you still calling yourself Ollie? You are not a teen anymore. I would prefer you to call Oliver." Ollie is stunned. This came from nowhere, but she made an important point. He can't explain it, but she is right, as more he thinks about it. She seems not to mind it as much as he does, as she continues humming. He really likes the short form, but he is a man, not a teen. He has a potential wife on his side, will maybe marry her in the next year, and own a winery in the near future. Not that kind of stuff a teen does. "Good question,," he finally replies, "you're right, I'm not an Ollie anymore, I should call myself Oliver. My parents do this already, and I should start it too." Oliver walks over to the bathroom. He washes his face and cleans his teeth, as he notices Nathalia finishing her task. She walks over to the guest room, and a thought flashed through Oliver's head. "Shit, Noah's clothes," he thinks and rapidly follows her to the room. "Why are my clothes only shirts and trousers and underpants?" Nathalia asks, curious about the content of the wardrobe. "Well, you thought it is a good idea to bring in only those clothes," Oliver replied. "Silly me, why don't you say to me, that this is a silly idea?" "I don't know, maybe it wasn't my idea," he answers. At this moment, he realizes, that she does not really remember being a man in her former life. He knows, that this will be complicated. "Oh no, Paul tricked me again, I should have known it," she concludes, "Looks like I have to stay in this dress." He sees that is not happy with this fact, so Oliver suggests a solution, "If you like, we can go and buy you the clothes you miss." "Great idea," she replies and ten minutes later, they are on their way to the nearby shopping mall. --- Familiar, But Unknown --- In the car, he asks her, what she is missing. he thought about one, two pieces, and some hygienic stuff, but he is totally wrong. She replies in a very long and detailed list of clothes, she needs and many more. He realizes, that this trip will be longer than expected, but hey, she's his girlfriend, and she was his choice. The whole remaining afternoon, they shop all the things, she told him. Starting with fancy shoes with low heels, as he intervened, that the taller ones make her larger than him. They continue with simple dresses for every day, lots of lingerie, and some practical clothes for the winery work. She first didn't want some trousers, but he insisted on them, as he knows, that Noah's won't fit her anymore. They finish with a purse full of basic make-up, scrunchies, and hygienic articles. Nathalia is in her element, searching for all the stuff she needs. She always asks him for his opinion on the pieces and he mainly agreed or denied her choices. He did not know all the stuff a woman needs to have and how expensive they are. As her credit card is blocked, he needs to pay for all the articles. Two days later, his father texted him, asking why he paid so much money in so many different shops this day. With that question, he just wants to ask if everything is alright. Not that Oliver does some stupid stuff, like a drag. Oliver replied the real reason, that the credit card of his girlfriend is blocked and she needed to replace a good chunk of her clothes. This seems to be okay for his father, but he also texted, that he shouldn't do this again the next time. Oliver is confused by this answer, but as the money is his father's he needs to agree with it. His father also asks, when he'll see his girlfriend, which he answers with the weekend in two weeks. "If Mr. Reynolds does not kill me," he thinks as he sends the answer. After their shopping trip, Nathalia reordered Oliver's wardrobe. "I'll live here, so we should free the guest wardrobe for someone else," she tells him, and he can't say anything against it. "This woman knows what she wants," he thinks, "At least, when we are alone." So, Oliver let her reorder the wardrobe as he sorts Noah's clothes. He wants to keep some pieces for his memories and puts them into his car. He packs the rest into plastic bags as Nathalia shows up, saying that he does not need to do it and she'll bring them to the clothing container tomorrow. He doesn't mind, as they are her clothes. The next week, Oliver must visit some courses at the university. With Nathalia on his side, he is even more motivated to finish it. It is his last semester at the university, the next semesters are practical at a winery. To show their knowledge, they need to produce wine and document the whole year. Most of his co-students already have a winery for their year, mainly those of their families. Oliver is one of the last, not having the official documents to get the year grade. As they are three months left until he needs to have them, he is on track. With Nathalia on his side, there should be nothing in his way to the place where he spends most of his childhood. He and his siblings often played on the large vineyards and helped their grandparents with their work. His grandparents loved him more than his actual parents, in opposite to his older brother. He liked, how open- minded they are and how much freedom he got when he was there in the holidays. But when he was 15, he wasn't allowed to visit them anymore. His close-minded parents had a problem with it and so, he spends lots of time in front of the computer, simulating a winery. In the three years, until he moved out, he felt locked-in his parents' house and he swore, never to move back to it. Whatever the problem was, between his father and his grandparents, it made his life difficult the last time. His father has a problem, that he visited his grandparents more often to gain knowledge after he moved out. Some evening they told him, that they do not want their daughter to marry his father, but they can't change her mind, so they agreed. He agrees with them, the relationship between his parents is strange and he does not know, why his mother loves his father and vice-versa. He asked them but they refused to answer. Maybe it is money, maybe something else. He does not know. At least he knows, what he loves about Nathalia. At least he thinks that he knows it. Coming home after his courses vary a lot from his known life. With Noah, it was sometimes complicated. When he was in the university, Noah often met on days at his flat with some co-students. They planned their next way out of Noah's dependencies, but often, he only played around on his laptop. The only thing he did in the household, was buying groceries, that Oliver ordered to cook in the evening. It bugged Oliver sometimes, but not very much. Since he started studying, he cooks for himself every day, as his grandma had told him, so he doesn't mind. With Nathalia, this is different. Every day, she cooks at least breakfast and dinner for him. When he comes home from his courses, she greets him, happy as ever to see him, with a kiss, asking him for his day. A thing Noah was never interested in. The day, she usually cleaned up a room of his flat and applied a different makeup to her face, asking him, if he likes it. He is fascinated by how she did all this stuff with joy and how different she looks every day. Besides that, she also buys all the stuff they need to live from the cash, he gave her to buy groceries. It somehow makes him happy, that he does not need to care about the dinner anymore. Maybe because he now can keep this thought on other stuff, then preparing food, like thinking about his decision to turn Noah into Nathalia. Not a really good choice, as he is still not sure, how much Noah Nathalia still is. It often feels for him, that she is a stranger, a very familiar stranger, as she knows everything about him. And he knows, he won't let her go, as it feels so good having her. Maybe because she often reminds him of his grandmother, but he doesn't know why. In the evenings, they are often talking hours about their future, their sight on the world, and more. Even if she is now a bit more simple- minded than before, she has still the same interesting view of the world as Noah had. He asks her, why she does not write it down and she replies, that nobody will read it. Another typical excuse is, that she have some housework to do and points at the not cleaned rooms. These talks give Oliver security. He knows, that he had chosen the right options for her mind, keeping the great stuff of Noah, but changing the rest to let her fit in her social class. So, begins to love Nathalia even more with each evening. He only misses the sexual activity, but not before lunch with Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds. He wants to do the safe path, and he is very nervous to meet them. At least the insecurities of having done the right choice are gone, he knows, he did the right thing. And now, he must defend it to her parents. --- Mr & Mrs. Reynolds --- It's Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are awaiting their youngest son, as his best friend told them. They argued about, how serious Oliver's words are. It is strange, that Oliver tells them that they meet for lunch, not Noah. Mr. Reynolds was so in rage, that he can't replicate Oliver's words for his wife. So, Mrs. Reynolds convinced him, that the lunch is serious, and they assume, that he was still with his girlfriend that Sunday morning. For what other reason would Noah come back home a week early? In his student times, he visited them as rarely as possible, often not even replying to their messages and calls. In the past week, he also didn't text them any word about the lunch, not even called them. But this behavior was usual for Noah, tell Oliver to tell them something. They do not agree with this behavior, so they forced him to move back to their mansion. There he used every spare time he could afford, to drive back to the city. They can#t afford the opinion of the people, arguing about their son. He already causes enough trouble. Together with Sophie, who will marry a man her age, some people in Percsworth started rumoring, that their parenting failed. But when Noah gets back on the track, they'll stop those rumors as quick as they came. This was the typical behavior of him in the last year. Every weekend and day he must not "work," he drove to this best friend with the reason to meet girls in the city. A bit strange, that he didn't get this done in these five student years. Well, he was always a bit special and they do not expect anything from him, not after his many failed plans to earn some money by himself. Maybe he will finally settle down, it would be a shame for them if he didn't. The doorbell rings and Mr. Reynolds opens the door. Outside are standing the brother of their daughter-in-law and a familiar-looking unknown woman in a green dress. His wife joins in, looking as confused as her husband. "Mr. Reynolds, Mrs. Reynolds, Nice to meet you. Thank you for the invitation," starts Oliver with the greetings. The woman continues, "Hello mother, Nice to meet you, father. This is my boyfriend; I think you know him." Very confused about the woman greeting them as her parents, they continue the formality. "Nice to meet you, Oliver and, uh," Mr. Reynolds does not even know the name of his self-declared daughter. "Nathalia," Oliver whispers. "Nathalia, nice to meet you too," Mr. Reynolds continues, annoyed by himself not knowing her name. He must talk to Oliver as soon as possible. He needs to tell them, who this woman is. Mrs. Reynolds also welcomes both and they are stepping inside their villa. Inside, Mr. Reynolds gives Oliver a sign to follow him, as his wife and Nathalia are heading to the dining room. In the guest toilet, he asks him, where his son Noah is, which he expected instead of him and his girlfriend. Oliver calmly explains that this woman is his son Noah, who changed his gender last week. As Mr. Reynolds is still looking confused, so Oliver continues with the prepared story. "Didn't you know, that Noah did cross-dressing the last years, as he always wished to be one?" "No, I don't," stumbles Mr. Reynolds, who was never interested in the leisure activities of his last-born son. "Did you never recognized that he wanted to wear the clothes of his sister in his young years?" Oliver continues. "No, but wait, yes, this was the running gag when they were young, he always wanted to be like his sister. Same hair, same clothes and so on. We thought this was only because his brother is years older than him," Mr. Reynolds remembers. While he tells it, he realizes the context of his memories, and he hates himself, that he didn#t did it before. Surprised by the effectiveness of his words, Oliver continues, "So, I met him years ago with female clothes and had an instant crush on him. In the last months, we realized while living apart, that there is something more between us than friendship. Noah began to wear his woman clothes nearly all day we were together and the last week, there was the final change. It cost a good sum, but as you can see, the money was worth it." "But this woman, which should be Noah, wears brown hair. Noah had black hair!" "He simply wanted to wear the hair of his sister. So, it changed to brown." "But you told us Sunday, that Noah will come this weekend," Mr. Reynolds tries to rescue the situation. At least, he tries to prevent Oliver from thinking, that he can convince him so easily. He is still Mr. Reynolds, not a study teen, who can be convinced in believing everything. "No, you seem to only assume that Noah is coming. I invited her and me, as the rules are telling me to do. I never said that Noah will come, I thought Nathalia told you the whole change this week," Oliver finishes his explanations. "We should join the women before they miss us," Oliver says to finish this situation. He never thought that lying is so easy, but the truth is simply not suitable for Nathalia's parents. "Good idea," answers the speechless family patriarch. He will need some time to think about Oliver's words. At least, his now-daughter is in good hands and on her way to settle down and this is what counts more for him more. They go to the dining room, where the two women just finished preparing the diner. When the two men are suddenly leaving them to go to the bathroom, Nathalia followed her mother to the kitchen, where she needs to finish the meal. Mrs. Reynolds decided not to step into a discussion about how she became her possible daughter. Instead, she decided to check out the wife qualities of this unknown woman. She knows Noah very well and has reasonable doubts that this brunette is her daughter. Maybe her husband knows more after a talk to Oliver. So, she tries to get some words out of Nathalia, but this turns out to be more difficult than she expected, as this woman is too shy to reply. She can't blame her for this behavior, she would act in a similar situation in the same way. So, she begins to talk about her kitchen, the interior, and so on, but can't get any reply. Well, Phoebe acted similar, when they meet for lunch the first time. Those young women are all the same, without her friend they do not know how to act. In her youth, she knew what she can do, in every situation. So, without any reply from Nathalia, she continues to talk about her kitchen until she finished preparing the meal. Nathalia asks if she can help her bring the food inside and Mrs. Reynolds, surprised by the words, agrees. --- Breaking The Rules --- Nathalia is confused, her parents are acting very strange. Her father hides with Oliver in the guest toilet and her mother explained to her the whole kitchen, that she already knew. She is her daughter, she ever has been. But she also can't really say, why this behavior is strange, as she can't remember her last visit. She'll need to explore that lack of memories later, as she still has other problems. She tried to say her mother, that she already knows her kitchen, but can't find any non-rude words for it. As insulting her mother isn't very lady-like, she stays silent, only asking her to help with the dishes. She knows that her mother does not like help in the kitchen, so she only offered help to carry the meals. Her father and Oliver join them at the moment they finished the table, Oliver gives her a kiss and they sit down. Her father is acting normal again, asking Oliver all kinds of questions about his studies, his future plans, and so on. The typical questions he asks every foreign man in his house. Nothing special, so she didn't speak any word and silently eats the meal. While she eats, she recognizes, that it is strange, that she remembers everything about her parents and Oliver, but not herself. She knows, that she had a relationship with Oliver in the last years, but what did she study at the time? She doesn't know. They finished the meal, and her father the question torture. He is satisfied with Oliver's answers and her mother collects the plates to serve the desert. The strange thing is, that her father helps her, something he normally avoids doing. They both leave the room, it looks like they have to talk. "The meal was delicious, wasn't it?" Oliver asks his silent girlfriend. She agrees and he finally reveals his plan to her. As he never wants to spend a day apart from her in his future, he will ask her father later, if he allows him to marry her. He tells her, that he knows the rule, to first ask the father of the future bride-to-be, then the bride, and then his own parents. As if his proposal wasn't long enough, he doesn't wait for her answer and explains himself. He adds, that he thinks this rule is stupid. He takes the ring out of his pocket and continues his proposal. He asks her if she wants to marry him if her father agrees. Before Oliver could continue with more made-up sentences, she agrees. She already expected this step, since he arranged this lunch. She can't imagine another reason, why Oliver would do that. They have not the easiest relationship, and her father can be very cocky to other men in his household. To keep this secret, Oliver hides the ring again in his trouser and she kisses him. Only for this action to break the stupid rule, she would marry him. Mr. Reynolds knows that collecting the dishes is a task that is conspicuous for his now-daughter. He still has not quite realized, that the woman in his dining room is his son Noah and not a stranger, which he could trick. As his now-daughter and his wife are acting quite odd together, he decided to have a talk with his wife in the kitchen. He tells her the words, Oliver has told to him before the meal. She comments "At least, he is not gay and has a friend," she sums his words, and he knows, she is right. Transgender kids are perfectly fitting in their society. Especially since they have fully functioning reproduction organs. They are able to make children with the family genotype, and that's what counts more. Gay kids do not fit in there, it was simply impossible. A male housewife is like an alien, nobody wants it in his house or family. As his wife finished the desert, he follows her back to the dining room. There, his daughter and her boyfriend are sitting hand-in-hand with very happy faces. Whatever Oliver had done in the last minutes, it seems to make her happy. He never saw Noah so happy in years. And she didn't show any rude behavior. Noah was always grumpy in the last years, making each family dinner torture. He was against every single word he said, leading to end- and useless discussions every time. In his young years and he acted similar to Noah until he met his wife. Her love calmed him down, he won't even thinking about the stupid things he had done if he met her years later. His wife and his daughter begin to talk about dresses. He begins to ask Oliver about wine, which one is good, and how to serve them. Oliver seems to be in his element, talking minutes about why a bottle of wine is good and why not. "This man seems to know his profession," Mr. Reynolds thinks as Oliver continues his explanations. At some point, Oliver stops his words, stands up, and begins to talk to him and his daughter at the same time. "Nathalia, every single day I was apart from you was a horror for me, so I do not want to spend another day without you. Mr. Reynolds, Mrs. Reynolds, you gave the world his lovely woman, so I am asking you, Mr. Reynolds, if can use this ring, to propose to Nathalia?" "Yes, you are," Mr. Reynolds tells him instantly before he could even think about it, what he regrets. They all know, that it is very unusual to ask for allowance for a proposal in front of the future bride, but no rule says, that it's prohibited. In its unusual, but conform way, Mr. Reynolds finds himself liking it. A thing he would not have even thought yesterday, but yesterday he also thought he had two sons. Oliver continues his show by kneeling down in front of Nathalia. "Nathalia, as your father approves, do you want to marry me?" Oliver proposes to her and she agrees with a smile, bigger than the moon. He puts the silver ring on her finger and kisses her. Mr. Reynolds expected this second step. Oliver already got the ring, this daughter knows about the intent, so why wait? If he wanted to propose to her in a fancy place, he should've hidden his intent from her. His wife congratulates the couple and he does the same to them, continuing with a trivial question: "When do you plan to marry?" "Next summer, when I finished my degree," Oliver answers. Fine with the answer, Mr. Reynolds tells him to follow his study room and Oliver does as told. Just after they left the room, he hears his wife start talking about her wedding. A thing she had done with his daughter-in-law and his other daughter. They have a lot to tell. -- The Price Of Love --- In his study room, he begins to tell Oliver the reason why they split. "So, you are going to marry my daughter. Congratulations, one daughter of the Woods family became Mrs. Reynolds, and another is now doing the opposite way. So, how do we continue with her?" "Okay, my suggestion is that she will move out of your house. The first time to my flat in the city and in two months to our future home in the winery of my grandparents," Oliver states. Judging about women like objects, a thing he hates about Percsworth, but now, he needs to do it. For Nathalia, and for himself. "This seems very reasonable, but what do you want as compensation? I mean, I still need to pay her expenses until your wedding next year." "Right, I thought, you could pay the current so-called salary, she has until I marry her," he answers the question. "Salary" is confusingly the word used for any kind of regular financial support from the parents to their children. At least in Percsworth. "Wait, the full salary? No way, I'll not pay full for your bride-to-be as she doesn't even must pay any rent," Mr. Reynolds opposing Oliver's suggestion. "Okay, another suggestion: She keeps her bank account until the wedding. You pay her the salary, unlock her card, and do not pay any further money for the wedding. I guarantee to pay the debts of this account and I also get access to it." "No, I'll not pay the full salary." "Okay, what about half the salary to her and the full wedding costs on top?" "Half the salary is okay, the wedding costs too, but her bank account, why? Why not merge now?" Oliver rolls his eyes "This is simple, I don't want to give you access to my account." "Okay, this is a deal, I keep paying half the salary and the wedding next year. You gain access to her account; she regains access to the cards and you guarantee for the debts. Seems fair," Mr. Reynolds concludes and begins to set up a contract on his computer. Minutes later, he asks him for the new full name of his daughter. Oliver replies with Nathalia Speranza Leonie Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds, seemingly happy with the name, prints two copies of the contract. Oliver checks it and signs the contract. This salary will give him the money to pay the further expenses of her sex change, like clothes and further legal documents. And It's more than he expected. Mr. Reynolds is also happy. His stupid son finally gets married and has manageable costs, as he only needs to pay for the wedding and the next year. He thought, he must pay for his former son for the rest of his life, but not, just a year and a wedding. He thinks about the sums, he already paid for his other son, very huge sums. His startup was good, but after millions in funding, he only cashed out one million profit after selling it. Not that much and he doesn't mention the salary he needs to pay him. Maybe it's somehow better to only have daughters, like Oliver's grandparents. Only pay their life until the wedding, the wedding, and that's it. No further costs. As Oliver goes back to his wife-to-be, he kisses her and tells Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, that it's time to finish the meal. They agree as they already spend four hours with this lunch, and they escorted them to the door. he says to them, that the next few days, a moving company will pick up Nathalia's stuff and they say goodbye. Oliver and Nathalia are driving back to the city. "What do you negotiate with my father?" she asks after they have driven off the property of her parents. "You'll gain half of the money you got until now, but he pays the full wedding. You regain access to your credit card, a new-named credit card and you'll live together with me in the city and the winery before the wedding," he explains to her the relevant details, not knowing if she remembers her old job in her father's company. Or her old life. "This seems fine, I had expected less, as my father is really thought in negotiations." "Maybe not today, it was a bit too easy." "Well, maybe he had a generous day," she finishes, and they were listening to the radio for the rest of the drive. With his words, he triggered her memories. A new name, that now makes total sense for her. She was the stranger called Noah, Oliver asked after a couple of days ago. He pushed her to her current sex, and with all the memories of the last years, she knows why. After Oliver and Nathalia left, Mr. Reynolds tries to hide from his wife, but she is quicker in finding him than he hides. In the way of her reaction to the talk in the kitchen, she made him clear, that she does not want to talk it out now, but later. And later is now. Standing next to him in the little family room. She confronts him, "Do you really believe Oliver's made-up story? I do not. This woman is a stranger, he picked up somewhere and he now tricks us to convince, that this is our Noah." "Do you really think that Noah made such a plan? With his intelligence, he would have dressed as a woman, while visiting us." "How do you think the plan is from Noah? What about the possibility, that the plan is from Oliver? You know how close they are." "No, that's not Oliver. He is a brave man, who would never go to a drag party." "But you said, that he told you that he lived together with a drag man!" she shouts. "That's something completely different!" he also shouts and begins to question the whole story and the amount of money he just gave away. "No, it isn't, if you want to get a drag man, you need to go to a drag party!" "You must know it. The only man you got in university was me!" "If you know, what other stuff I did at university, you will file for divorce!" "Why should I file in divorce?" "I won't tell you! I am not as stupid as Noah!" "And even if this whole story is made-up, this is worse than the other option? We are not paying them for the rest of their lives as we do with Paul," he tries to calm down the situation. "Paul is something completely different. He IS our son and works for you. He gets money for you. Noah doesn't," she keeps shouting. "This doesn't change my argument that having Nathalia with Oliver is better than having Noah!" "Did you just compare a stranger to our son? Do you really care so less about our son? I pushed him through school. I visited a teacher or the director each month to convince him not to kick him. I paid the extra fees for the university that ensured his degree! I tried to push his rude character to a calm form as I did with you! The only things YOU did, was to make his life more complicated!" "Wow, do you just want to blame me to keep care of our business, to earn the money to pay Noah's degrees?" "NO, I blame you for pushing him off like one of your unprofitable assets!" she screams and breaks into tears, as it is hard for her to realize, that her husband is right. Noah nearly broke in the past months and if he frees himself from them, it would be better for him. Even if it will break her heart, it is the best for her son. She knows that Noah wouldn't do that. Even if he made her life complicated, he loved her. More, than Paul or Sophie does. He was somehow special, not made for Percsworth, and now, he's gone. Now there is this well-behaved distant woman, who's nothing like Noah. "I am not pushing him off like an asset, I'm happy for him! Did so see them after our kitchen talk? I never have seen Noah so happy in his life, as she was then. Whatever Oliver has done, it's right for her, like you are for me. Without you, I'll maybe have landed in the lunatic asylum. That's a reason why I began to love you and still keep loving you." he tries to calm down his wife, also close to tears. "I'm sorry, maybe it was simply a bit too much for me. The change, the proposal, and the realization, that Noah is now female and happy, as we were in our student times," she finishes the confrontation and starts hugging her husband. Noah is happy and that's all she ever wished for him. It must have been hard for him to decide the sex change and it must have been also hard for her to meet her parents like it is too much for her to meet her new daughter. She hopes, that in the future, Nathalia will be as close to her as Noah was. This will at least make her life way easier. She definitely needs to excuse her behavior, when she calls her daughter next week. --- The Third Proposal --- After Oliver told Nathalia the result of the negotiation with her father, she stays silent. He expected, that she begins to tell him, what she discussed with her mother, but she didn't tell him a bit. Oliver assumed, that they only talked about wedding dresses, which she can't tell him, but he is completely wrong. Nathalia wanted to tell him all the ideas, she has for their wedding, but her thoughts are only about her change. All the strange behavior of her parents, Oliver's behavior, the clothes, and the boy stuff in her room, now makes sense for her. Three hours ago, she wondered, why Oliver rushed for proposal, and for the dinner. He could've done it before the wedding of her sister, but his plan is better. Noah had the fear of losing Oliver, she assumes, that Oliver had that too, so he triggered the change. He just doesn't want to lose Noah, and the visit was a way to trigger her memories. What a clever man, giving her this gorgeous body to keep his love and she totally agrees with his choice. Seeing a sign of their destination pushes Nathalia's thoughts back to reality. Out of nowhere, she starts telling Oliver her ideas about the wedding, which she told to her mother earlier. Oliver is a bit surprised by the sudden words but is thankful for them. It helps him focus on the boring motorway, and way better than the moderator on the radio station. She talks about locations, her dress, games, and many more. Oliver nods, that he agrees with her words and concentrates on driving. He simply had no ideas about the wedding, as he has other stuff to focus on. It is more than a year left for planning, he first needs to pass two exams, handle her move, and then move to the vineyard. Enough to do for the next months, at least for him. Back home, she cooks some dinner and Oliver mails her father some forms for bank account access. Saturated, tiredness overtook their mood and they decided to go to the bed. After she joined Oliver in the bed, she came closer to him, cuddle him, and says, "Thank you, you rescued me." Oliver shrugs, "What was that?" he thinks, "Did her home triggered her memories of being Noah? Or why did she say this?" On his shoulder, she begins to sleep. Oliver's tiredness instead, is gone. He is awake, thinking about Nathalia's relation to Noah and her parents for a while until he also begins to sleep. Oliver dreams of marrying Noah in a small chapel, without any guests. His suit feels quite strange and they both broke with their parents for this marriage. On the way to their honeymoon, he drives the car against a tree. Noah is unconscious and he feels something hard on his chest, preventing him from climbing out of the car. After some time, he can finally free himself. He checks Noah and doesn't feel the pulse. Aware, that Noah might be dead, he smells some aroma. he assumes, that this is oil or something from the car, but it isn't. It's bacon, fried bacon. He wakes up sweaty. The bacon aroma isn't gone. It comes from the kitchen. Nathalia is already awake, doing breakfast for them. He takes a quick shower, dresses up, and joins her in the kitchen, sitting down after giving her a kiss. The table is already filled with sausages, toast, marmalade, eggs, and more. She puts the bacon on his plate and sits down on the other side of the small table, with a smile. "When do we meet your parents to finalize the proposal?" she asks. "Next weekend. I need some signatures from my grandparents, and I thought it would be good to visit my parents as well. If you want, we can stay at the winery for the weekend," he replies unsure if he should tell her about his nightmare. He decides to test her knowledge of her past life. "This sounds like a good idea, I can finally see it and our new home," she answers excitedly. "You should already know it. We celebrated the wedding of your brother and my sister there," he starts testing her. "Yes, I know, but that was only the large hall, not all the other rooms there and I didn't know, that this will be the place where I become old. And we weren't together back then, as you were in your senior year, and I messed around with some guy from my course," she states. Oliver is excited, she knows about her former life, but he doesn't know if she remembers being Noah. He'll find it out later, as this is enough to invalidate his fears. He decides to figure it out later, as he feels that this isn't the right time to ask it. After breakfast, he calls his parents, while she is doing the wash-up, telling them the good news. His mother is very excited, she already heard that Noah changed his sex, but not that he'll marry him. "Wow, the village chat is faster than I expected," Oliver thinks surprised, but happy. If this news is spreading now, all will be fine when they move to the winery or at the wedding of her sister in three weeks. After she finished her task, she asks if they want to go on a walk through the park and he agrees. They walk hand-in-hand through the park, as the weather is sunny. To their luck, the city-knows stinker at their path not at his usual place, as they walked by. So, no insults disturbed their walk. After lunch, they snuggle together while watching films. As the credits of their third film are showing up, Nathalia stands up to make dinner. He stops her, as he has another idea. He asks her if they want to go out, celebrate their engagement together. He does not have to ask her twice. She emerges in the bedroom, to change her clothes and he interprets this as yes. Half an hour later, they are sitting in an Indian restaurant, with a bottle of champagne, cheering themselves. The whole day, Oliver noticed, that she is acting differently from the last week, more natural and even more in love with him. Very similar to Noah, when he visited him in the last year. And it feels very special. Oliver can't describe the feeling, but only being together with Noah gave him this feeling. He dated a lot of women in the last year, and he missed that feeling. Maybe he was expecting too much. With two of them, he could've imagined spending the rest of his life, but they split after two months. Both for the same reason: Noah. The first split after he told her, that he is bisexual and the other after he compared their sex with him and Noah. As the last was also a Percsworth girl, this was a red flag for her. As the evening went very well, he decides on his way home, to stop at a kiosk. He wants to buy some condoms, just to make his intention clear. As he tells her the plan, she tells him, that they do not need it. She already bought them last week. He kisses her for her words and as soon as they were home, they began to intensify their kisses. After a while, they are naked on their bed, having sex for the first time in the new constellation. It is different than the excellent sex they had more than a week ago, but in the following nights, it got very close to that state. To Oliver's excitement, Nathalia regained very quickly the skill level, she had as Noah. The first time, he thought about the better sex with Noah, but as she leveled up her skills, he totally forgot about it. It was just perfect. -- Something Has Changed -- In the following months, she keeps loving him so intensively as they did this Sunday. Not every day with sex, but in her kisses, her hugs, and her behavior towards Oliver. Oliver's parents agreed with the marriage and their future plans, happy for the loving couple and their own social status. Nathalia notices, that each time they visited his parents, his mother studies her behavior, ending in a sigh most times. Someday, she told her, that she wishes to be so young again. She would do so many things differently. This confused Oliver, as he never knew, how his mother was in her young years, but she now must regret some of her decisions. Nathalia dumped most of the stuff, the moving company delivered from her old home. Mainly clothes, which are not fitting her anymore, but also stuff from the university, like books, folders, and some personal stuff. Oliver doesn't say any word about her decisions, if she decided to dump it, it's her decision. She also stopped the experiments with makeup. Oliver asked why and she says, that she does not feel the need to hide behind the make-up anymore. She often talked to her mother and her sister on phone in these weeks as Oliver learned for his exams. He heard that they were talking most of the time about her mother's feelings in context with some events of their past. She mostly referred to her as her current now in her stories, but often also as Noah. An unusual mix- up, but she seems to know what she is talking about. In July, it is the big day of Nathalia's sister Sophie. Noah wasn't very close to his sister, so they are separately invited as family members. As usual, nearly most of Percsworth is invited. This causes the wedding to be kind of special for Nathalia. As she and Oliver currently don't live in Percsworth, they are not participating in most events there. So, this wedding is the first opportunity for most inhabitants, to see the new Noah. For practical purposes, they stay in the guest room of the winery of Oliver's grandparents. The day before the wedding, they inspected the state of the room in the side building, where they plan to live. Basic works were already done in the past years, so, there is not much work left to do. The wedding itself takes part in the church of Percsworth. It is located in the center of Percsworth, well equipped and has a large square in front of it. There, tables and chairs are arranged, likewise a small stage and some trucks for the catering. As the day is sunny, the tables have an umbrella each for sun protection. Nathalia also had that in mind, as she wears a stylish purple summer dress with a matching summer hat. Surprisingly, she is the only guest, wearing such, which made her even more unique. The following ceremony is very classic, the priest marries the couple. Mr. & Mrs. Webb are doing some photos before they play games on the stage to prove themselves as a couple. Most weddings in Percsworth are run this way in the past years, only having different games and minor changes. Nobody can't really say why, but maybe that's also some kind of Percsworth routine. Or just a lack of creativity. On their way to the wedding, Nathalia already said to Oliver, that she does not want such a routine wedding. The ceremony is followed by the typical "dinner party". It starts with the wedding pie, continues with drinks and the program, and the dinner itself, and then fades out. At the "party" nearly everyone asked Nathalia, why she is now female. And every single time she replies, that she ever wished to be, as Oliver told her and her father. As Oliver expected, Nathalia acted totally fine in society. Like all women at the wedding, she chatted mainly about their dresses, the wedding dress, and the current gossip. The usual topics for women in Percsworth. At the wedding of Oliver's sister Phoebe, Noah was so drunk, that his mother had a hard time, keeping him under control. So, the social- aligned behavior of Nathalia is very different from that wedding. And the reason, why he wasn't invited to a wedding since then. After a long evening, the "party" was over, and they all walked home. Another typical thing for Percsworth, no party after 11pm, except on New Year's Eve. In the following weeks, when Oliver learned for the exams, Nathalia cared about the furniture of their new home. The winery is large and has lots of unused space, as it's built for four generations to live there. The main building is huge, but as there are only Oliver's grandparents living in, most space is rarely used. The flat in the side building, which they will inhabit for the first time, was used as a vacation apartment. it was renovated some years ago, in foresight for their successor and then rented to guests. The rest of the main building is mainly empty after his grand-grandparents died years ago. Oliver and Nathalia are planning to renovate most of it to use it later for them and their children. But first, they want to buy some furniture for their flat, to make it their own. As Oliver needs to learn for exams, this is Nathalia's task. She presented him every evening the pieces she picked, and they discuss them until they agree. She then orders and supervises the delivery and setup. Nathalia is very happy about that task because she had not much to do. Most of her former friends dropped her after they meet the shy Nathalia instead of the rebellious Noah. Making new friends doesn't really make sense, as they move away from the city next month. So, after two weeks, there were only four of her friends left, which Noah mainly meet through Oliver. --- Back In Percsworth -- In August, they finally are ready to move to the winery. Oliver passed his exams, the university agreed with his practical year and they were ready. Like her former items, she also wants to trash most of Oliver's rarely used stuff. Most times, he agrees with her choice, as he didn't use most of it for months. Noah had a similar radical style of tidying, hard, but effective. He convinces her to keep some of his old toys and beloved figures, but then, she found the clothes, he rescued two months ago while he was writing an exam. He tried to argue to keep them, but he hadn't many arguments. They agreed that his memories are more worth than this pile of useless clothes and so, they are also dumped. Oliver can't find arguments on why they need to keep them. On August 17th, Oliver and Nathalia are leaving finally the city behind them. Movers are taking care of their boxes with belongings, they packed in the last days, together with the furniture. Their plan is simple, their cars are already loaded, so they already drive to the winery, the movers are following when they finished their job. Nathalia marked all furniture, they need to keep which works very well. Oliver's grandparents are warmly welcoming the new inhabitants of their winery. Since the wedding of Nathalia's sister, she and Oliver spend every weekend at the winery, like Oliver did every summer. His father hated this, but Oliver always said, that he only does it for practice. An argument, his father can't refuse. On these weekends, they prepared the wine harvest, cleaned the wine tanks, and filled the wine bottles. Oliver didn't know it otherwise, in the past, his aunt and his mother helped until his father prohibited it to his mother. His mother loved the work in the winery, and it must have broken her heart when her father prohibited it. And he still does not know why his father did his. His grandparents are very pleased by his wife-to-be. Not only, that she now replaces the workforce of their daughter, they also threaten her like their own granddaughter. Oliver doesn't really know why, but he is very pleased, that they love his wife-to-be. After the exhausting day, dealing with all the boxes, furniture, and belonging, their new residence is finally ready to live in. While they sorted the last boxes, Oliver's grandmother cooked the diner. As usual, they finish the day of hard work sitting in the garden. With a glass of wine each, they started talking about the harvest and their future while eating. These topics are the usual ones, but after she cleared the table, she starts a very different. "The first time, we met your fianc?e, we thought, that you are also such a village wife. We always thought, Oliver would marry not such a woman, but well, if it makes him happy," she states. Oliver and Nathalia are confused because they don't get the point of her words. "But then, with every visit, this changed totally," she continues, "Now you remind us much to our daughters, when they were in your age, just before they married." "What the hell is she talking," Oliver thinks, "does she just compare us to my close-minded rule-following social-obedient parents?" "Oh, really? Why?" Nathalia asks, interrupting Oliver's thoughts. "Your mother wasn't always so social-obedient. We raised her, as all of our daughters, as an open-minded world-loving self-confident woman," Oliver's grandfather answers, "Most of our school friends in the village started some years earlier with having children, while we had something else in mind. As the world was getting more complicated, they all wanted to enforce their so-called family businesses to survive the troubles in the world. So, they used their money to enforce their children into their ideal society in setting up all those rules." "We always said, these rules are stupid. They are breaking your children and kill any creativity, they need to survive. As you see, most of their businesses are lacking those, just stumbling from one profit to another. No even mentioning arts, we had once very talented creative people in Percsworth, whose works were eliminated by our parent generation. They sold them, as they labeled them not-modern. I mean all those paintings, proudly labeled 'Made in Percsworth', are not made all across Percsworth. They are mainly made by us during the wintertime," Oliver's grandmother continues, "So we do not want that our daughters to live such an obedient life like they now do. But they decided to marry those men and fit in the rules, becoming the close-minded persons, which they are now." Oliver is fascinated, he never heard anything about the youth of his mother. He often asked, but his father always stopped her, when she started telling it. It is very shocking to him, to imagine his mother being domesticated by his father. "No, I didn't know that. I often asked the families, who made their Percsworth-Painting, but they always don't want to tell me. But what do you mean with 'something else in mind'?" Nathalia asks, finding the words, Oliver is missing. "Well, in our student years, we were hippies. We demonstrated every week for the climate, against coal, motorways in natural reserves, and more, until we settled down. That's why your father, Oliver, hates us. His father lost some money because we blocked a coal digger and shut the whole site down," Oliver's grandmother explains. "Yeah, we had so much fun back then. Like at the moment, when he realized, that we are making more money with the winery, then he with his coal diggers," her husband added, and both begin to laugh. Oliver is shocked and amused by their words. This all explains their complicated relationship with his father, the strange behavior of his mother, and many more. He never imagined, that there were some hippies in Percsworth, and not, that his own grandparents were such. Well, this perception had proven wrong. And he likes it. In the following year, Nathalia learned a lot about winegrowing, winemaking, and the whole winery business. She really thrives in these activities, to the surprise of Oliver. Noah was always a bit reserved about these activities, but he never tried to do them. One evening, she told Oliver, that life in the city was somehow boring for her. She had nothing really to do there, but homework. Here there's always some work to do for her, and it feels very useful for her. When Oliver cared about the grapes or the tanks, she did all the remaining stuff. Oliver's grandmother, very thankful, handed her over the accounting. With her 74 years, it was just torture for her in the last years. Other tasks for her are taking care of the renovation and, of cause, their wedding. In her spare time, she tried to find some friend in Percsworth, but that was an impossible task for her. Most of the women in her age are very unsociable and really boring, at least for her. She described them to Oliver as "They only want to take care of their husband, their children, their kitchen, and nothing more. And they are more busy with that than me." As a statement, Oliver would sign. His sister Phoebe is exactly that, only having her wife's duties in mind, after becoming pregnant on her wedding night. So, she found a new hobby, photography. His grandparents told her how to use the pencil and colors, but that is not her thing. Oliver is quite talented to draw her ideas, but she preferred the camera if she has some time. -- Mr. & Mrs. Woods -- Exact one year and one day after Oliver and Nathalia moved to the winery, it's their big day. In the last two weeks, Nathalia prepared the large hall for their wedding, while they continued their everyday work at the winery. Her plans for the day are very different from other weddings. Besides the dinner in the large hall of the winery, she planned some kind of a cocktail party at the vineyard. She ordered four electric rickshaws for the elderly guests, which she'll keep later for the winery guests. The wedding ceremony itself will take place on top of the hill, with a great view over the whole vineyard and the village. The day, Nathalia told Oliver about her idea of the ceremony on the hill, he was skeptical. She had lots of ideas for the ceremony, but this was the weirdest at this point. In the days before, she did some photos there, but he hasn't seen them yet. So, she pushed him up to the meadow, she had in mind. He wasn't there for years, so he can't imagine her idea, but she convinced him to have a look. She is right, after she has shown him the site, he totally agreed in doing the ceremony up there, instead of the church. It is the perfect place for it, and he knows why. So, their wedding ceremony started on this sunny day on the hill. As the weather can't be better, their guests are first amazed by the amazing view and then by Nathalia's dress. She found the perfect dress together with her best friend, her sister, and her mother after endless weeks of visiting bridal shops. Oliver didn't think it would be so perfect. He remembers the winery tours, she organized in the last months. They had all an imperfect style, which he didn't want for his wedding. The guests loved it, and she did it every time this way, so he assumed, this is the way she wanted them to be. But today, she planned for all circumstances, mostly depending on the weather. And as far, as the wedding proceeds, it's as perfect, as he imagined. With a smile, which competes with the sun, Nathalia graceful walks down the aisle, supported by her smiling father. It is the first time; Oliver sees him smiling. The pastor asks each other if they want to marry each other, what they both agree. Mr. and Mrs. Woods are kissing each other for full two minutes, under the constant sounds of the camera of the photographer. Oliver knows, what she wants to say with these motives: We are even better than the little Percsworth. Another reason, why he loves his wife. She found a very subtle way to show the village, that they aren't the rich people, they pretend to be. They are just the people of a little Hicksville, good enough for a photo background. After their striking ceremony, the program continues at the winery. Except for the elderly, who are carried around in the rickshaws, all guests need to walk down the hill, while the bridal couple needs to take some further photos. After finished taking more photos in front of the amazing background, they are walking back to the street, through the small forest to their bridal rickshaw. Oliver can't say, how proud he is of his wife. She integrated fast into the vineyard, nearly completely organized their wedding, scored with the ceremony. In the yard of the winery, the next point of the program is planned: the challenges. It was the idea of Oliver's grandfather to do something different than the classic bridal couple games, so, they prepared something else. On the small stage in the yard, the DJ begins with the first point: Knowledge. Starting with the easy quiz about the bride, with the groom and the bride's father as contestants, won by the groom by far, as expected. The next quiz about the groom, in a similar constellation, is also gained by the bride, but with a very closer gap. It doesn't really amuse their fathers, but as it's not their wedding, they need to follow. The next point to test is Trust. The bridal couple against one of their siblings with their partner. They needed to guide their blindfolded wives through parkour, just walking behind them. Sophie hit some objects, as her husband isn't really clear in his commands. Oliver's brother Conrad did a way better job, but his wife also hit some objects. So the task is too easy for Oliver, as he guided his bride through the obstacles without any mistakes, with her wide wedding dress. The last challenge for the bridal couple is called Unity and is the most complicated of the tasks. The bridal couple and the remaining two siblings, need to speak as one. She forms words with her mouth, which the partner needs to speak out loud and correctly. After two mistakes from Oliver, Paul scores two points but then, the battle flips. Oliver spells the next remaining five words correctly and Paul fails the four most complicated. What he is kinda ashamed of. The DJ congratulated the bridal couple, as it had proven their marriage skills, and finishes the planned program in playing the bridal waltz. The next hours are as Nathalia's planned it. Inside the great hall, more classic setting, tables with chairs, and Oliver's exam wine, which he finished with an excellent mark the month before. Outside, the DJ plays some music, with a simple dancefloor and standing tables, also with the exam wine. The split setting is simple as effective, nearly every guest tells Oliver, how perfect the wedding is. And every time, one guest mentioned this, he gave his wife a kiss. One of the hundreds this day. Nathalia's idea with the two places is very perfect. The elderly mainly spend their time in the hall, and the younger guests outside, resulting in a very intimate atmosphere with way less gossip in large groups and more talks between smaller groups over the whole evening. After the guests were all gone, Mr. Woods is now alone with Mrs. Woods in their bedroom. Like the day after he proposed, they didn't stop kissing when they gently undressed each other. With his tuxedo and her bridal dress, this task is the most complicated, they did this day. But they mastered it. When they finally got rid of all the formal clothes, they had, for the first time, unprotected sex. Not that they can't do it before, but it thrilled them to not have it until they reached their goal. And now, they did it, they finally reached their goal. They must not care about the rules of their parents anymore. They only need to take care of their own rules, as they wanted in all their years before separately. And now, they reached it together. -- EPILOGUE -- Mr. Woods walks through the large hall of the winery checking if all stuff is ready for this evening. He checks the remaining wooden cutlery for their quality, and all seems fine. Today is the 5th wedding anniversary of him and his Nathalia. In his maternal family, it is an old tradition to celebrate the day, so they decided to do it also. The tradition says, that the guests are gifting the bridal couple with silverware. Quite literally, they bring in their own cutlery, which they use instead of the wooden ones on the table. It is also the superstition, that every used piece of wooden cutlery stands for the months until they give birth to their next child. When his sister celebrated their wooden anniversary four years ago, only eight pieces were used. Nobody knows it back then, that his sister was pregnant with her third child, which she gave birth to eight months and five days later. He hopes that a high amount of cutlery will be used, as Nathalia was quite busy giving birth to their children in the last years. She is currently feeding their sixth child, which she had born two months ago. They are already rumors, that condoms are unknown in the vineyards, which is two miles away from the village, but the real reason is another. He always enjoyed the world-class sex with Noah and since the days he became Nathalia they didn't miss a single bit. A thing, that the gossip girls of Percsworth simply can't imagine. The only difference was, that Noah sucked on his penis with his mouth and butt, and Nathalia can do similar things also with her vagina. A whole new level for them. She evolved in the weeks after their wedding to a sex goddess, which he adored even more with each day. So, they made love nearly every day, like in their student days but now with the possibility to get pregnant. As result, she gave birth to one child almost every year except the third, when she gave birth to twins. As she was pregnant with their last child, they agreed, that this should be the last. So, he is going to be sterilized next month, to allow them to have safe sex again. Six children are enough to break the rules of their social class, where only two children are usual, and both need to meet their high expectations. They will avoid this by not buying their children a degree in a private school. Also, with six children, they can easily handle a black sheep, without any hassles. They decided to do it this way in memorial to Noah, who must give his old life to allow his children to have a better one.
