Dave felt like he was owed a mid-life crisis at this point in his life.
Just as he had saved up enough for a hot roadster car with a roll down
top to let the wind run through what remained of his hair he was laid
off and that savings account became much more necessary to pay down the
next few years of his mortgage on his big old mostly empty house. It was
a mortgage he was glad to have though when his step-daughter Sandra,
who
he hadn't seen in years, transferred to the nearby college under a
volleyball scholarship and wanted a friendly place in town to stay.
Sandy, as he still wanted to call her despite her being a very mature
adult in her third year of college, was the highlight of the worst of
his two failed marriages and it felt great to Dave that she still wanted
to be around him after all that had happened back then.
He gently knocked on Sandra's room and she invited him in. The house was
big enough that he didn't bother to rearrange much when Sandra and her
mother had left the last time, so it still had the bones of her old
room, bright and pink and lacy. She'd swapped out some childhood posters
with motivational sports posters that went together pretty well with
and
re-contextualized the old collection of school soccer and volleyball
trophies he'd held on to for her, because he was forever going to be
proud of her and all of her accomplishments.
"Hey Sandy," Dave said from the doorway, "I was thinking about ordering
a pizza. You want in on the usual?"
Sandra thought it was really sweet and maybe a little romantic and dorky
that Dave would ask her opinion rather than just order it, even as it
had become a somewhat regular weekly meal for the pair of them over the
gentle month of living together. Dave and his sweet dorkiness had been
one of Sandra's first crushes growing up, and she hadn't anticipated how
much living with him still had the power to crush her stomach into
butterflies. Especially now that she was in college, Dave wasn't
anything like her type physically, but his gentle demeanor and kind eyes
still could melt steel if she tried to cage her heart away from him.
"Sure, that sounds great, but first Dave, please sit?" She smoothed a
corner of the bed beside her. She was reminded of all the times the two
of them used to sit like that on the edge of this bed when she was
growing up for a pep talk or fatherly advice.
Dave was never one to say no to his Sandy and did as asked. He
remembered all the times he'd strained his neck just a bit looking down
at her in all her sorts of pre-teen emotional states when they'd last
lived together, just as he knew that she was slightly taller than his
just shy of six foot stature these days, star volleyball player that she
was, and he was instead just looking eye to eye with her now.
"I think we need to talk about the elephant in the room," Sandra said
gently, hoping not to spook Dave into bolting.
Dave made an exaggerated dad joke look all around the room of it.
"You're keeping an elephant in this room? We can't afford to feed an
elephant, Sandy. We should return it to the zoo immediately."
Sandra couldn't help but giggle at her dorky step-dad, but tried to rein
it down back into a gentle tone, "No, I'm serious. I want to talk about
your unanticipated early retirement."
Dave's expression turned sour, but he didn't make a motion to stand up
or leave and Sandra took that as encouragement to keep going. "I know
you must have been saving up for some sort of mid-life crisis. A cool
car, probably?"
Sandra though she could spot a small tear on Dave's face as he only
nodded in response. It wasn't that wild of a guess, but Sandra was
excited she knew Dave just well enough to have guessed. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be, it's not your fault kiddo, it's just this economy." Dave put
on a sweet, brave face.
Sandra sighed. "I'm not saying it is my fault, just that I love you,
daddy, and I think you should have the grandest mid-life crisis that you
want, money aside. You've got all this extra time, what do you want to
do with it?"
"Besides hang out with you?" Dave winked like it was some big spy
secret, from one of those games they used to play when Sandra was a kid.
Sandra's heart fluttered and her stomach did a tiny dance and she hoped
Dave did not catch the blush she could feel in her face. She didn't even
think Dave realized how flirty that sounded and looked to her. She
tried
to cover the blush with a gentle giggle like it was another of Dave's
dad jokes and a giant smile. "Yeah, of course, besides that. That part
is easy, I live here now."
Dave leaned back to think, and stared at the ceiling a bit, and clicked
his tongue against the roof of his mouth a bit in that way that he did
when he was thinking. "I don't know. I've tried not to think about it
too much so far. I didn't expect you to be the one to force me to
confront it."
Sandra thought she could hear another tear on his cheek in that
statement. She patted his hand in comfort. "You've got time to think of
it."
When Dave leaned forward again, he seemed almost naked in his emotions.
"I guess I've got all the time I need now to work into some better
shape," he patted his dad bod of a gut, "maybe I could pick up some
remaindered gym equipment and set up a gym in the basement. I don't
know. Really, I mostly just want to use all this extra time I have to
hang out with you, Sandy. I want to be at all of your volleyball games,
you've made sure they are all on the calendar?"
Sandra nodded, it wasn't the first time Dave had asked, and up to this
point she'd assumed it was just Dave being his sweet supportive self,
but this sounded haunted and like he was using it as a lifeline of
sorts, and Sandra would be thinking about that for the next couple of
days.
----
"Fuck, Margie's ankle will need months to heal. Just when we think we've
got a full squad of talent, everything gets fucked and we don't have
enough backups," senior and team captain Angie was yelling in the locker
room after practice to just Sandra and fifth year senior Kat, "this was
supposed to your year to shine in the championship Kat, I'm so sorry,
and Sandra you transferred in just to watch this team fall apart. This
is my fault, I let the coach push that practice too hard. I'm team
Captain and I should have stopped it before someone got hurt. Shit. I'm
sorry."
Kat shook her head in gentle disagreement. "Hey, hey, hey, the season's
not over, it's not even started. Maybe we find an emergency transfer and
salvage what we can? They'll come into practice late so maybe we'll
have
a rough pre-season while we're team building the new member, but you can
still build a championship ready team on that as late season underdogs.
We all love those movies."
Angie considered this bitterly. "We exhausted our transfer scholarships
bringing Sandra on to the team. I don't know. Maybe Margie's injury
counts her for a red shirt season and we can convince the athletics
board to maybe give us another one for an emergency. But athletics will
kill us if we don't make the championship after that. Also, what kind of
person would be crazy enough to transfer this close to the season
start?
I don't know, Sandra, maybe you have some strings you can pull with old
teammates?"
Sandra thought for a moment. "I may have a risky idea to try." Angie and
Kat both stared at Sandra hoping she might divulge more of a plan, but
all Sandra added was, "I think it might work, trust me."
----
It wasn't long after Sandra got home from practice that she bounced into
the living room with a package for Dave. "Daddy, I was thinking about
what you said about how you want to spend your retirement, and I come
bearing an enchanted gift."
"Enchanted?" Dave had a suspicion where this was going, but he needed
Sandra to say it out loud.
Sandra smiled in a way that reminded Dave of when she'd ask for
dangerous toys as a kid. "Um, well, I've got a friend who is a bit of a
witch. So magically enchanted. Like for real magic."
"Of course. A friend who is a witch, and what did this witch friend of
yours give you to give to me?"
Sandra dropped the box on Dave's lap, pulled the top off, and waved over
top of it like it was an important article of fashion. "Magic workout
shorts. Help you get into a good shape in your retirement with magic."
Dave wasn't blind and could see from the tag that they were women's
volleyball shorts. He glanced at Sandra, curious which parts of the
plan she wanted to reveal out loud. Dave didn't need to be reminded that
he had said he wanted to spend a lot more time with her, and he knew
from minivan chauffeur and snacks dad mode that sharing a sport together
was quite possibly the most possible amount of time you could spend
with
a friend (if you stay friends through the competitive fire and drama
such activities tended to spark).
Sandra took the glance as a cue, but not for presumably what Dave was
asking. "It's very simple, wear them as your only underwear for three
days and four nights and you'll have a killer body at the end of the
'workout'. If at any point you get freaked out or decide to quit you'll
revert back to your current dadbod, no harm no foul. If you wake with
them the fourth morning the effects will be effectively permanent."
Dave nodded at the instructions, because he'd heard instructions vaguely
like that before. He didn't say anything, hoping to use silence to draw
something further out of Sandra about her plans without tipping his own
hand.
"It's going to be great, Daddy, trust me!" And with that Sandra kissed
Dave on the forehead and then ran off to the kitchen to refill some
energy with leftover pizza.
Dave turned off the TV program he'd been half-paying attention to,
shrugged his shoulders, and took the box upstairs to his bedroom. In
there he replaced his boxers with the shorts he'd been given. They were
quite snug around the crotch, as he'd expect from women's garments, but
they felt like they were pleasantly happy to be stretching in any
direction even if it wasn't the usual directions they were used to
because there were prepared for more in the way of hips and ass. Dave
was pleasantly surprised that they felt more comfortable than most
boxer-briefs he'd tried to wear. Pulling his jeans back up there didn't
seem to be any noticeable difference from the boxers he had replaced the
shorts with. He shrugged and went back downstairs to help Sandra not
make too much of a mess of the kitchen in her post-practice meal fugue
state.
The next morning Dave woke with a massive headache and a growling
stomach. He stood up and nearly stumbled at the height difference from
what he was used to before. He went straight to bathroom mirror to check
out that he'd grown practically another foot, reaching nearly 7 feet
tall, and was a very slim bean pole now. He'd never looked so skinny in
his life. There were hints at muscle definition he'd never had before,
too. As the day progressed, it was interesting for Dave getting a chance
to have to look down to catch Sandra's eyes again but there wasn't much
to say between them other than vague comments from both that the
"workout" was working.
The morning after that Dave woke feeling more energized than he had in
decades. The mirror told him that he'd seemingly lost decades somehow
too. His hair was thick and full and shaggy and in need of a cut like he
was a teenager again and not fighting male pattern baldness. All of his
muscles seemed souped up and much better defined, including some clear
abs like Dave hadn't thought possible for a body he lived in. The one
obvious trade-off that Dave had suspected might happen that morning was
that the volleyball shorts were entirely too flat in front, while
filling out a bit more in the usual directions for them, and Dave had a
chance to empty his bladder using brand new to him equipment. Putting on
his normal jeans, he didn't think it was anywhere near as obvious that
he had a pussy between his legs and was now a woman in one of the ways
people most cared about.
Dave spent most of the day feeling like he was daring Sandra to say
anything at all about his new lady parts. To hint that she knew what
Dave was going through and how that was playing into her plans. Dave
didn't get any such words out of Sandra, and was a little bit
disappointed by that part of the game, but felt too stubborn to start
the conversation himself.
That night Dave was curious about and debated trying to put his new
equipment to one of its uses and try a hand at masturbating as a lady.
He realized he was feeling some anxiety about if Sandra would catch him
doing that for his first time. That lead to thoughts that it wasn't
anything Sandra hadn't seen before and he tried to cut those thoughts
off before they went too far. Eventually Dave realized that he was
expecting to sleep in these same shorts for two more nights he probably
didn't want to masturbate inside them and did his best cold shower
thoughts to calm himself down from any ideas of masturbating.
The following morning Dave knew it was undeniable that she was now a
woman. She woke up feeling well rested and with her hair all over her
face. As she sat up, she could tell that she had great looking breasts
now. In the mirror she looked barely 18. She was still nearly 7 feet
tall and covered with insane muscles, but she had an hourglass curve
that made it plain that she couldn't easily pass for a man at all even
at that unusual height and musculature. When she put on her usual t-
shirt and jeans they looked badly borrowed from someone else. Even with
a much over-sized shirt for her current weight, it still had trouble
getting around the new obstacles upon her chest. More of her midriff and
those well-defined abs that she now had showed through than she felt
possibly ready to show the world. Her jeans were far to loose at her
waist and needed a very tight belt there to keep from flapping around,
but they also had too little fabric to get around her hips and ass, and
too much fabric bunched up at her crotch in a way it seemed obvious
there was no use for it and there was something too flat beneath for
what they were built for. Dave tried her best to brush her hair so it
looked a little less like a rat's nest, and headed downstairs for
breakfast.
Sandra was irrationally angry when she first saw Dave that morning. She
realized immediately that a possible complicating flaw in her plan was
that all the things she'd ever thought were cute about Dave when Sandra
was a kid with a stupid crush on the only father figure that treated her
well (and as a person worth respecting and even loving) was that on the
tall blonde bombshell who walked into the kitchen they were all so
sexy.
That haughty diva runway confidence Sandra saw she knew wasn't that of a
girl who had been told all her life that she'd be a pretty model but
the
easy and unearned confidence and swagger of a suburban dad.
Sandra figured Dave had no real idea yet just how hot she even was. Just
behind that swagger Sandra could still see all the bits of dorkiness,
too, and it was endearing as fuck. The warm, cute eyes Dave always had
were stunning and hauntingly beautiful on such a pretty face. (Even
without makeup. Sandra gulped at the thought of the firepower a fully
operational lady dork station could wield with that face.) But the thing
Sandra found had made her the most irrationally angry was in the way
Dave's t-shirt was barely holding on to her sculpted (and muscular) lady
shoulders, and showing off her incredible midriff, and it was in the
way
that those jeans clearly didn't fit at all. Sandra realized her chaotic
bisexual brain had immediately jumped to the conclusion that this hottie
had just lazily borrowed her boyfriend's clothes just to show off that
she was taken. Sandra felt herself dripping with huge vats of envy that
such a beautiful woman was already taken, even knowing that this hot
lady was still her step-father inside and those were just the only
clothes in her step-father's old wardrobe.
Sandra sat down at the breakfast table to take stock of her many
complicated reactions at the form the volleyball shorts had gifted Dave.
She tried not to even glance back at Dave while she tried to figure out
if her plan was salvageable in the face of such a reaction.
"Shit, I'm hideous aren't I?" Dave realized it was the first words she'd
said out loud all morning and was immediately fascinated with how soft
and feminine those sounded to.
Sandra nearly jumped back out of the chair at those words out of years
of instinctual group combat of her fellow lady's worst, ugliest self-
doubts, but Sandra manage to course correct from knocking the chair back
into something of a swivel she hoped looked cool. "Please don't say
that. You are so hot I was feeling a bit envious." Sandra hoped there
would be no follow-up questions. Sandra really hoped there would be no
follow-up questions as she was unsure if she could get a straight answer
out were she to be asked "Envious about what?" She could only imagine
what Dave would think if she honestly answered that she was feeling
envious of the boyfriend Dave had borrowed her ill fitting clothes from.
Sandra hadn't gifted Dave with this hot body just to date Dave, because
that might make what Sandra had actually planned too complicated, which
did lead Sandra to a natural way to shift gears in the conversation
away
from follow up questions.
Sandra nervously twisted her hair (and tried not to think if she was
also trying to flirt with Dave with that body language or if Dave would
even pick up on it). "So there's a volleyball practice tomorrow if you
decide to keep this killer bod, and well, we could use you on the team.
It would help us out a lot. You don't have to, but..."
Sandra trailed off nervously because Dave had walked over uncomfortably
close and was glaring down at her. She tried to glance away from Dave's
fiery glare but that only lead her eyes down towards Dave's powerful
looking lady abs and a feeling like she'd just angered a sexy wall of
muscle. Sandra bit her lip and crossed her legs trying to deal with her
arousal from just how sexy that angry wall of muscle looked up close.
Dave was glad that Sandra had finally tipped the hand of her plan before
what she had told Dave was the point of no return on the magic spell,
though Dave still did wish Sandra had been upfront about it. Dave sighed
into her best new quiet disappointment voice. "So there was an ulterior
motive to this gift. Your team needs another player. Is that a string
attached?"
Sandra squirmed in waves of heartache and arousal. She had expected
anger, but the disappointment was so much worse. She never wanted to
disappoint someone so beautiful again, it was the worst feeling. She
also couldn't believe that she couldn't stop her own dumb brain from
hearing that question so personally whispered as flirting and arousing.
She had never expected to be so aroused while getting so sad and upset.
The parts of Sandra's brain that had been worried that she was flirting
too much with Dave before when he was just teenage crush on step-dad
were now overloading with concern that Dave had decades more experience
in flirting than she did and couldn't decide if this was weaponized
arousal or her own dumb emotional state or both. She was worried what
new Dave could do if she was actually used to that hot body and tried to
weaponize it.
Sandra shivered with a chill of her own making, and could barely whisper
with the lump she now felt in her chest and the worrying, wet fire
between her legs. "Like I was saying, you don't need to do it all, that
perfect body for it or not. But I just thought you might appreciate the
excuse to spend a lot more time with me. Uh, I want to spend a lot more
time with you and this was the best way I thought to do it and also make
the team better."
Dave wrapped Sandra in a tight hug and kissed Sandra on the top of her
head. "Aww, that's what I'd guessed. It's so sweet. You should have
admitted that earlier, you didn't need to keep me in the dark, Sandy.
You can tell me your plans, hun." Dave practically bounced to the other
side of the room to open the pantry and collect breakfast supplies.
Sandra's heart danced. She'd just had a hot lady practically wrap her
head in her braless boobs and then that same hot lady gave her a playful
kiss. Sandra's partially burnt out paranoia that Dave was winning this
flirting game was flashing great red danger warnings after that massive
emotional shift. It didn't have a lot of remaining energy to run through
the many possible scenarios but it was trying to anyway: 1) perhaps
Dave
really was just the naive ingenue she now resembled and that brief
emotional roller-coaster was just as simple as it seemed, 2) Dave could
be responding to new lady hormones in all sorts of fascinating ways, 3)
Dave had all sorts of new and dangerous energy in her new super athletic
body, 4) Dave was some sort of trained flirting savant, had caught up
on
all of Sandra's flirty signals and was toying with Sandra now. Sandra
tried to convince her brain that at least some of those scenarios meant
an exciting volleyball season, and not think to much about the scenarios
that might mean an exciting home life living with some sort of sexual
monster of her own accidental creation or something worse in the middle
where she wrecked another entire season with chaotic bi drama and a
terror of a girlfriend.
Dave woke up the spell finishing morning angry at her alarm which Sandra
had convinced her needed to be set at 5:45am to make it to practice on
time. Dave had almost forgotten there was a 5am and most certainly
forgot what it felt like to be beeped at by a terrible alarm to be up at
that hour. But Dave was also surprised that as angry as she felt at
that
alarm for interrupting her beauty sleep that there was a spring in her
step at this hour that was entirely new to her. Dave had never been much
of a morning person in her old body, but this body seemed to want to
greet the day with excitement and energy.
There was a gym bag waiting for her on her desk, either the last bits of
the magic spell or Sandra had just procured it in the usual way and
quietly slipped it in during the night, Dave wasn't sure. On top it had
a full fresh set of workout gear: sports panties, a fresh new pair of
volleyball shorts, a sports bra, athletic socks and athletic shoes, and
a sporty tank top not quite in the school uniform style, but not unlike
it either. Below that was a simple set of "civilian" clothes to swap to
after practice: lacier panties, lacier bra, coy ankle socks, not quite
as athletic sneakers, a halter top, and skirt. Other than that were a
bunch of useful feminine shower products for the change between the two
sets and some more presumably handy feminine products that Dave realized
she was not quite ready to contemplate the need for.
It was a good start of clothes for the day, though Dave knew she'd
likely have to source a lot more of a wardrobe from here on out, having
accepted her new body as her new normal.
Dave put on the full workout clothing set and tried her best to pull her
hair up into a ponytail for a first time, having never had hair that
long before. She realized some things about what she'd noticed watching
women do it before over her several tries until she wasn't unhappy with
the result. (She wasn't yet satisfied, however, and made a note to ask
Sandra for tips.)
As Dave was coming down the stairs, gym bag in hand, Sandra tossed up an
orange which Dave had no difficulty catching. Sandra was already
booking
it towards the door. "That breakfast is to go, gorgeous, we need to be
in the car already."
"Yes, Coach Sandy."
----
Dave was the third or fourth tallest at practice but still felt
intimated by the presence of all the players and Coach Hope. That was
Dave's excuse for letting Sandra introduce her to the team. Dave
regretted it a tiny bit when Sandra stumbled over her first line with
something that neither of the pair of them had thought to prepare for:
"So this my daa-" (Sandra was briefly terrified that she wasn't even
about to say Dave, but daddy, and yet corrected relatively quickly.)
"-fne. Dafne. My mentee, Dafne. I was telling you about someone I knew
who might be in a position to help the team. This is Dafnee."
Coach Hope sniffed distrustfully. "From your old team?"
Sandra shook her head. "Uh, hear me out: she's a true freshman I met
through, uh, outreach programs."
Coach Hope tilted her head quizzically like a bird. "Where'd she play in
High School?"
Dafne, already realizing that she was thinking of herself with the new
name, was glad the question wasn't directed at her and she was just an
innocent bystander in this line of questioning. Sandra was sweating a
bit and practice hadn't even properly started yet. "I said hear me out.
She's a true, true freshman. Lots of raw talent, just needs to learn the
game proper."
Coach Hope nearly snorted with her increasing disbelief. "You're telling
me a girl with this build didn't even play in high school?"
"I was a very late bloomer," Dafne offered quietly, mostly to herself.
Sandra internally groaned at the terrible dad joke of it and externally
glared at Dafne to shut up before returning eye contact with the Coach
and offering a better explanation. "She went to a small public school
without a program and her parents didn't realize the big private schools
would have offered a generous scholarship if she'd shown any interest
at
all their way. It's terrible she just sort of fell through the cracks
that way, but that leaves her an undiscovered gem in the rough for us to
take advantage of. I think. If you'll have her, Coach. I'm sorry, I
know
it's a huge risk."
Coach Hope narrowed her eyes at Sandra, but then chuckled and gave Dafne
another look over and returning with narrowed eyes back to Sandra. "Are
you going to suggest this 'gem' is worth one of our precious
scholarships?"
Sandra chuckled. "Of course not, I'm not that silly. That's the good
news: Dafne's a true walk-on. I promise. Dafne got a decent windfall
from the recent passing of her, uh, Uncle Dave." Dafne shot a look of
surprise at Sandra at that, but Sandra continued. "She's got the funds
for a semester or two and can compete to earn a scholarship."
Coach Hope sighed and shrugged. "Well she clearly has a build for it,
she'll have a few practices to establish any of this raw talent you
think she has. I know we're desperate for a good backup with Margie's
recent injury, but I'm not cutting corners. Welcome to the team,
provisionally, Dafne. Thanks I guess, Sandra, for the extra scouting
work for the team."
Coach Hope took Dafne and most of the rest of the team to help learn the
first sequence of warmups, but Captain Angie pulled Sandra aside for a
quick chat. Angie seemed quite angry. "Sandra, this crazy plan better
pay off. I know we are desperate, but a true, true freshman? This was
your best idea? What are you even thinking here? We want to make the
championship this season, not kick the can yet another season."
"It's a good plan, Angie. I meant it, she has raw talent we can hone.
She'll be a great wildcard player, and the opposing teams will have zero
scouting data on her this season. She and I have terrific rapport and I
think that'll strengthen the whole team."
Angie rolled her eyes at this, and her words were even angrier.
"Terrific rapport?! Oh my gosh, Sandra, did you just bring in your
summer camp girlfriend on to the team? Is the wise old junior taking
advantage of that naive young freshman? Do you want this all to blow up
midseason when she gets a little wiser or you get a little bored and you
both breakup? We'd never make the championship with that kind of drama!
Are you really that desperate to sabotage us?"
Sandra realized she was blushing and it would not help her case. "No, of
course not. Our relationship is a lot more, uh, professional than that.
You watch too many movies, Angie."
Angie gave Sandra the "I'm watching you gesture", then a "follow me now"
gesture, and they both hustled over to join warmups.
----
Sandra and Dafne were the last two in the locker room between a
combination of long running conversations from various parts of the team
trying to get to know the new teammate and Dafne dragging her feet
getting dressed again after she showered. Dafne was well aware of the
fox-in-the-hen-house stereotypes of a former guy finally spending a
substantial amount of time in a women's locker room, but was unimpressed
with the reality which was smellier, messier, sweat covered, and
altogether more human and dreary than fantasies of pillow fights in the
showers and sexy boobs everywhere. Dafne wasn't dragging her feet to get
more of a feel of it, Dafne had instead realized that she was having a
simple, embarrassing problem that she was having too much trouble
hooking the lacier bra, didn't want to put the sweat soaked sports bra
back on, and had no way to signal Sandra she needed help until it was
just the two of them left in the locker room.
Sandra laughed at the mundane problem she had not expected and then
gently straddled the bench in front of where Dafne was sitting. Sandra
took Dafne's hands and gently guided them across the fabric of the bra,
and behind her to her back. Sandra was careful to not push Dafne's hands
into too awkward of a position, and then gently helped Dafne feel the
hooks under her hands and encouraged Dafne's hands to make the motions
necessary to pull the hooks over the catches. It took a couple tries,
but Dafne lit up in a smile when the feat was accomplished.
Encouraged by the bright light of that smile, Sandra took advantage of
the intimacy of their positions to move her hands up to Dafne's
shoulders and gently lean Dafne down just a few inches further so that
their heads were closer. Sandra went in for the kiss and could feel the
initial surprise in Dafne melt into something much more passionate,
surprising Sandra in turn.
The kiss seemed to go on forever, and Sandra briefly wished that it
might. The awkward silence that followed the kiss did stretch on
forever, or at least long enough for Sandra to question a lot of things
about how crazy what she just did was. She had just earlier promised
Captain Angie that she wasn't going to do anything like that! She knew
she had a lot to unpack that this innocent looking freshman who was
struggling with her bra she had just passionately kissed without upfront
consent was also previously her step-father and currently her landlord
and whatever conversation came next could seriously jeopardize almost
every aspect of her life. She had no idea if it was a good sign that
Dafne had seemed to reciprocate the passion of the kiss with her own
fiery passion. She wanted to kick parts of her brain for the giant weird
school girl crush she was feeling. She wanted to try that kiss again
and
this time maybe something move that towards something more like the next
base.
Dafne finally broke the growing awkward silence. "Aren't I a bit old for
you?" They both giggled at that.
Sandra used some of the scandal already in her head and let out a
scandalized, "Whatever do you mean? I'm the experienced junior taking
advantage of the naivety of the young freshman. This romance is doomed
to explode in the messiest way midseason when I grow just a little more
bored or you grow a little wiser about the world and we inevitably
breakup. The team may not survive without both of us, and we'll likely
miss the championship this year. I should really know better. I'm
sorry."
"That sounds like an awfully specific scenario, Sandy, are you sure
that's our predestiny?"
Sandra nodded solemnly and then more jocular. "It happens all the times
in sports movies these days. Ooh, that gives me some ideas of things we
could watch on our first date. It'll be educational."
"First date?" _Dave_ had of course noticed when Sandra had moved in with
him that his step-daughter was a beautiful full-grown woman in the
abstract, but Dave had two failed marriages, including with Sandra's mom
who had turned out to be quite the awful bitch, and practically no sex
drive for much longer than the honeymoon. _Dafne_ was realizing that she
had strange new hormones and a very new sex drive that were all having
a
much easier time forgetting and forgiving Sandra's resemblance to her
bitch of a mother, and was seeing Sandra as her own, rather hot, person.
Dafne felt some of the difficulty about that because glancing down at
Sandra she could still feel like she could squint and see the little
girl she'd helped grow up, but also Dafne was starting to feel a lot
different from "Uncle Dave" and maybe it wasn't the worst thing to
compartmentalize those feelings in her exciting new life.
"Forgive me, I may be the wiser and more experienced college student,
but I'm still an idiot college student and skipped a step: Daf, do you
want to go on a date with me tonight?"
Dafne leaned down to answer the question in her favorite way with a
passionate, deep kiss.
This time didn't end in an awkward pause because Sandra weakly fell
backward on the bench in pleasure overload and said out loud, "Wow. I
love you."
Before Dafne could return those words, Sandra bolted upright and to her
feet in panic. "Oh shit, if Angie found out I said those words to you in
this locker room today, she'd murder me. Let's get out of here before
it
becomes a crime scene."
----
Dafne and Sandra started their "date night" with a heavy amount of
shopping. Dafne knew she needed a lot of clothes and shopping for them
with her girlfriend was a wild new experience, beyond just the whirlwind
of having a new girlfriend in the first place on only her second full
day as a young woman. Dafne had never particularly liked clothes
shopping in general, and worried that her incredibly tall frame might
lead to complications, but Sandra was there every step of the process to
back her up, and somehow it felt like a small sport in itself just to
find the right racks at the right stores. It certainly didn't hurt that
Dafne had someone cute to show off the outfits to in the dressing room
and that Sandra was very quick with compliments and useful critiques and
awarding kisses throughout the process (for putting up with the
process). Dafne wasn't even surprised at the shopping tour culminating
into a light trip for lingerie. Dafne knew some of the more scandalous
pieces she was asked to model were entirely for Sandra's amusement and
arousal, but Dafne loved the attention from Sandra and did kind of want
to have a bit of fun, sexy bedroom clothes to share with her girlfriend.
Dafne realized that she was spending a lot of "Uncle Dave's" money, and
tried not to think too much about needing to look for a new job so soon
after Dave had nearly resigned himself to early retirement. Dafne tried
not to put things into perspective of how many new work years she might
be able to experience fresh or that there were whole new types of jobs
available to her in her new youth.
Sandra decided as the older student to "treat" Dafne at least to dinner
and in the rental costs of the movie, which they watched in Uncle Dave's
home theater, which was certainly over-provisioned for a humble
straight-to-DVD sports movie or three.
"I was thinking," Dafne started and Sandra noticed that Dafne was
nervously twirling her hair in the same way Sandra often did, especially
when Sandra was feeling flirty. "Sandy, could I sleep in your room
tonight?"
"Oh?" Sandra wasn't quite sure how to answer. She wasn't entirely sure
why Dafne was asking. Sandra assumed at this point Dafne was flirting
with her, but still wasn't sure how far or fast Dafne wanted to take
things.
Dafne snuggled up closer to Sandra on the couch. "I was just starting to
think that it doesn't feel right to sleep in Uncle Dave's room and your
room is much more appropriately decorated for a freshman volleyball
player like me."
"So you want to switch rooms just for the experience of it?" Sandra was
now quite curious how far Dafne had thought through this line of
thinking.
Dafne thought about it. "Well, I mean, I wouldn't mind sharing the bed
with you, too. We are dating now you said."
Sandra almost laughed at how cute that sounded, but found herself
sounding almost disapproving instead. "You've been in a lesbian
relationship for only a few hours and you are already proposing moving
in together? Isn't it a bit a early to be falling into lesbian
stereotypes, Daffy? I wondered if I needed to pick out some flannel for
you."
"Excuse me?" Dafne play huffed. "I'm the stereotype? But I'm pretty sure
that you're the one that moved in with me. Is that some sort of record
for that stereotype, moving in with me months before turning me into
your lesbian girlfriend?"
Sandra realized that Dafne had her there, but couldn't directly admit
defeat. "I identify as chaotic bi, for what it is worth. Thank you very
much."
Sandra expected some sort of reaction like a "What?" or even a "Very
chaotic, apparently" sort of joke, but Dafne yawned and then added a
quiet, "Hmm? Me too." Dafne turned the snuggle into a gentle feigned
nap.
Sandra couldn't stop thinking about that throwaway admission. She'd
never have guessed it about her former step-father, and it was another
arousing thing to learn about in surprise from her current girlfriend.
Her brain was a fire in kinky thoughts about her girlfriend, and yet her
girlfriend just sent her such mixed messages that she wanted to sleep
with her tonight, but also that she was falling asleep as they spoke and
probably meant by "sleep with her" just the boring parts of sleeping
(at
least tonight).
Sandra gently elbowed Dafne. "Okay, Daf, let's go to our bed before you
pass out on the couch."
----
When Dafne awoke the next morning to another one of those too early
alarms prior to practice, Sandra was already awake and gone from the
room. Dafne had a slightly faster time jumping into workout clothes and
assembling her gym bag than the day before, though.
Arriving in the kitchen for breakfast it was almost impossible for Dafne
not to notice a new bulge in Sandra's volleyball shorts. Dafne almost
didn't want to mention it for fear of the conversation that could
follow, but went with a tried and true. "Is that a banana in your pocket
or are you just happy to see me?"
"Uh, well, I called my friend who is a witch and she thinks a possible
side effect of the magic you used is that I picked up some of the
masculinity you shed, and uh, ..."
Dafne was afraid this was where things were going and didn't try to hide
her anger and let it bubble up through the disappointment. "Oh come on!
Just stop lying, please. I know your mother is a witch, and that you
likely inherited at least some of her powers. Stop blaming some unnamed
friend."
"I-- I--" Sandra didn't expect the strong "mom-friend" stern voice from
Dafne. She started to wonder if Dafne was adapting very fast to new
vocal tones or if "disappointed step-father" wasn't as different vocally
from "mom-friend" as she might have thought. Sandra's stammering tried
to hold back the complex emotions of what to tell and how to tell it.
She'd never assumed Dave or Dafne were dumb, and she probably should
have wondered a bit more why there weren't more follow up questions
after "a witch enchanted this pair of ladies volleyball shorts" or at
hardly any point in the transition.
Dafne stepped in real close and dropped from "mom friend" to that
disappointed but concerned near whisper that again made Sandra quite
aroused. "Let me help you with a simple yes/no question to start: Did
you give yourself a dick just in the hopes of maybe fucking me?"
"Yes."
Dafne gently placed a hand on the new dick. "Good boy." Sandra wasn't
sure if Dafne was thanking her for the truth or complimenting the feel
of her new dick and addressing it or both. Dafne continued. "That's
certainly chaotic, but it's kind of sweet. It's almost too bad we don't
have a bit more time before practice."
Dafne moved her hand from outside Sandra's volleyball shorts to inside
them and gently stroking it, including favoring the sensitive parts of
the head. Between the emotional rollercoaster that just happened to
Sandra and Dafne's much practiced hand with handling a hard-on, Sandra
was on a hair trigger and found herself in orgasm, moaning, "Oh, daddy!"
Dafne brought her hand back up. "With this much baby batter coming out
of you, I think you're the daddy now in this relationship."
"And yet you are the one still bringing so much dad joke energy to our
relationship," Sandra pointed out.
Dafne started licking the cum off her hand and Sandra was surprised at
both the action itself and that she found it weirdly arousing, so she
asked, "What are you doing?"
"What? I'm not going to miss breakfast before practice even if you are
trying to distract me. Also, it's not like I can get pregnant this way."
Sandra shivered in arousal at the thought of knocking up Dafne as that
thought hadn't even occurred to her in planning her stupid stunt with
growing a dick because she really hadn't put enough forethought into it.
"Oh, could you imagine?"
"What would Uncle Dave think about us filling this big old house with
kids?" Dafne asked, and Sandra wasn't sure why that question sounded so
sincere.
Sandra hoped Dafne wasn't compartmentalizing too much, but felt like she
had an easy answer for Dafne. "I think Uncle Dave would have liked to
have seen this house put to the purpose he originally bought it for,
raising at least one rugrat."
Dafne blinked a few times at Sandra either not expecting that answer at
all, or working through tears at it. "You're right. We should fill this
place with babies to honor Uncle Dave's memory."
"Right now?"
Dafne was scandalized. "We've got practice, Sandy! Also, we don't want
to ruin two or more good seasons and attempts at championships with
maternity leave."
Sandra was surprised Dafne seemed to care about volleyball after only a
single practice, but was glad for the reminder of the other plan she had
in motion, but still felt rather disappointed at the cold water thrown
on her libido in that moment. "Oh right."
"Speaking of which? How are you going to stay on the team with a dick?
Won't it affect your play?"
Sandra brightened at this because as ditzy as she had been in this last
minute stunt since she'd heard a tired Dafne admit she was a chaotic bi,
she actually had prepared for this. "Well, currently you are the only
person in the whole world who can see, hear, or taste this dick. It's
exclusively for you, Daffy. I'm not sure I can promise my vagina is
going to be nearly as exclusive, but right now you are the first and
only woman I've ever contemplated knocking up. Also, I think I've
improved on it enough that it won't negatively impact my play."
Dafne nodded. "I'm going to hold you to that, you promised we'd make at
least championships with this team." And then Dafne switched on a dime
to an anger-free "mom-friend" kind but stern voice, at a different but
related ASMR whisper pitch to that dangerously arousing disappointment
one. "One last thing: your mother hiding plans of her magic from Uncle
Dave was part of how they broke up and why they divorced. So far your
uses of magic have seemed almost as selfish, but there has been enough
of a sense of thinking about others I feel I can give you some leeway,
but don't mistake leeway with comfort. Let me be your partner in witch
crime. Tell me everything. I don't want to be kept in the dark. I don't
want to be your lab rat or your innocent bystander. Let me be your
partner, please? Besides, your girlfriend might have plenty of good
kinky ideas, too."
Sandra gulped and didn't know what to say in the moment that wouldn't
ruin it, so she moved it into a strong hug for comfort and warmth, and
tried very hard not to be too obvious in poking her second ever boner
into her girlfriend's thigh. Dafne took even the erection as a promise
to be better and debated if she should get it in writing. Dafne tried to
get her own new teenage body's horny arousal from thoughts about how
the
most fun way to get that in writing might be to use semen as the ink and
eggs in her new womb as the paper for the contract. Dafne could
certainly feel the very willing pen ready to sign that particular
"contract". Dafne needed to get her head out of the gutter. Sandra was
thinking similar but not the exact same thoughts, but finally glanced at
the kitchen clock and said the only thing left to be said in that
moment. "Oh shit, we're going to be late for practice if we don't move."
----
Sandra spent a lot of that practice worried that every one of the many
glances Team Captain Angie made towards her backside or her crotch was
the glance where Angie spotted Sandra's new male appendage, or paranoid
that any glance towards Dafne might pick up some sort of smoke signal
(perhaps a cum signal, given Sandra was still thinking about Dafne
licking Sandra's cum off her hand) that Sandra and Dafne were now one
date deep into a whirlwind and unusually chaotic romance. It probably
didn't help that Sandra had half a clue that maybe Angie had some sort
of crush on her and might be envious of Dafne's tiny height advantage,
though Sandra was definitely hoping that Angie wouldn't have some
possible envy of any relationship between Sandra and Dafne. Also, it was
entirely part of the Team Captain's role to keep an eye on the whole
team and try to be a second set of eyes for the Coach, so there were all
sorts of very mundane, team-focused reasons for every glance.
The only words Sandra directly got from Angie the entire practice though
were a cheerful, "Good work today, Sandra."
A while after practice Dafne complained to Sandra, "You know for magic
muscles, these still get very tired feeling and painful at times."
"You might have gotten the muscles from magic, but they still need
maintenance and honing and practice. It's good for you. No pain no gain.
You aren't thinking about quitting after only your second practice?
Weren't you the one reminding me this morning we've got two championship
seasons to win?"
Dafne surprised Sandra by grabbing her crotch in answer to that
question. "I'm in it to win it. Winning all those micro-orgasms during
the workout was a good enough pleasure stick to motivate me past the
pain. I just wanted to share in the pain, since you've been awfully
quiet since practice."
Sandra's eyes widened at this admission. "You get the fabled workout
organisms? Lucky! Now you are just bragging about your family's
genetics. No wonder Aunt Caroline always looked like she was hiding a
six-pack of abs under those frumpy sweaters."
Dafne tilted her head in surprise. "I expected that was a variable in
your plan. Also, I can't say I'd ever wondered what's under my lesbian
sister's sweaters, except now I think I'm going to have weird sex dreams
about it, thanks."
"We could invite her over? I bet she'd love to meet her new niece,"
Sandra asked innocently, but knew it might be too strong teasing and a
bit of throwing gasoline on a fire.
"She's a smart enough lesbian she'd spot our relationship at the mailbox
before even entering the house, and she's known me for long enough
she'll have our whole story by lunch. Are you prepared for all the
questions she's going to have? I'd currently put odds at 50/50 she's
scandalized versus she's willing to blackmail us into a threesome.
Either way, that's going to be a lot of complication or trouble come the
next holidays and/or my mom's will."
Sandra shivered. "Okay, bad plan. Though what do we do about the
holidays anyway?"
"Versus Carol's lesbian radar? Oh right now that's easy: you aren't
invited. You know very well that my mom still hates your mom and doesn't
invite my exes or my bratty step-kid."
"Aww, I miss Grandma Em." Sandra gently punched Dafne in faux anger.
"Though you realize that you aren't invited under that logic, too? Which
of your siblings' exes were you going to pretend to be the step-kid of
that has Grandma Em's seal of approval still?"
"I'm ahead of you there: Caroline donated eggs in the hopes of saving
enough money to IVF a surrogate, if she could find one, just plausibly
the right number of years previously. I do look enough like Carol's
sports years that lost IVF baby seems a fun plausible holiday surprise.
Plus, Caroline's not the only one in the family that can run a blackmail
scheme. If she questions a maternity test too deeply, I've got some
buried ammunition to get her to play along. I think. Also I am putting
the odds at 50/50 she wants to play along anyway just because hot new
daughter to hang out with."
Sandra whistled in appreciation. "You are devious, Daf. You're right, I
should let you help with more of the planning, because I'd never have
thought of that. Now I'm just hoping you'll let me marry you or knock
you up before the holiday you think to try that surprise just so that I
guarantee an invite to watch that go down. Shit, now I'm imagining the
extra kinkiness of that 25% chance by your odds of Caroline wanting a
threesome and thinking you are probably her daughter just because you
are hot. Surrogate daughter threesome is much hotter than step-niece
threesome, all the while she doesn't know you are really her brother."
Dafne covered her face with her hands, not entirely sure if she was
trying to hold in a blush or a laugh or if closing her eyes would stop
her mind's eye from joining in that imagination. Dafne was worrying
about what sorts of porn both of them had access to.
----
Sandra found herself lying in bed that night having a hard time falling
asleep. She kept thinking back to Dafne's serious chat that morning
about Sandra's mother. There was that terrifying to her hint that she
could turn into her mother and was on a dangerous slope towards that
with the games she'd been playing with her magic recently. Mostly
though, it was thinking about all the times that her mother had talked
about the breakup and divorce, painting herself as the hero and saving
them from a terrible man who was only holding them back. She'd heard
those stories so many times, each further telling embellishing lies
further and getting further away from the truth. She was old enough to
know the story had a lot of holes and seemed filled with lies. She was
young enough to nearly believe those lies after enough repeats. It was
hurting her thinking that one of the reasons she might have decided to
stay at Dave's house instead of the usual campus dorms was for that
lifeline towards truth, and that she had so desperately wanted to know
that the kind gentle man of her childhood wasn't the monster of her
mom's teenage horror stories. It hurt her differently that she realized
that Dave had never once offered his side of the story, except for that
small horrifying aside that morning from Dafne.
"You're still awake?" Dafne whispered sleepily beside her. "You'll be
out of it at practice tomorrow if you can't sleep."
"Why did you never tell me your half of the story?" Sandra found herself
asking despite this probably being an awful time to ask.
"Hmm? Which story?" Dafne sounded half-asleep.
"Uncle Dave's divorce. I mean, your divorce," Sandra added a quiet faux
angry. "Damn it now you've got me doing it all the time too."
"What's to tell?" Sandra wasn't sure that Dafne wasn't just sleep
talking.
"Did you not tell me because it involved magic secrets? Is that why you
let my mom control the narrative? Is it always just the magic fucking
things up?"
Dafne bolted up right and hugged Sandra. "Shit. Of course not. I didn't
give a shit if you found out about magic at that age. In fact I was for
telling you early about your magic heritage. But I was overruled because
we don't really have magic in my family and I had to defer to your mom.
Even in the scary times when you were channeling your first dream
magic,
like that time you sleepwalked into the kitchen, pulled out the orange
juice, decided you wanted an orange instead, and magicked the jug into a
pile of oranges that tasted like they were made from the plastic jug
itself, and I had to throw out so-"
"Wait, that was real? I still remember that first awful bite."
"So many rancid oranges. I wanted to tell you. I thought knowing might
give you a bit more control and your mom thought it was a secret to
protect you from until she thought the time was right. Do you think I'd
care what your mom thought about that secret control after the divorce?
I would have told you about magic if you needed to know about it then,
Sandy. You deserved to know sooner."
Sandra thought about that. "So why? Why not tell me your thoughts on the
divorce if it weren't about hiding yet more secrets of magic?"
"I didn't want you to think your mom was the villain. It's the worst of
step-dad excuses, I know: I wanted to protect you from the cruelty of
the world just a little bit longer."
Sandra punched Dafne lightly on the shoulder. "Did you think by that
time I didn't know my mom was some sort of supervillain? That I couldn't
figure that out on my own?"
Dafne had tears running down her cheek. "You had to live with her for
another few years. I didn't need to poison that well. I knew as a single
step-dad with no biological relationship in my second divorce that I
had
no chance at custody, that it wasn't worth the fight unless I had hard
evidence she was violently abusive and she was never that, at least. So
I couldn't tell a court what happened, magic or not, it being just
simple bias against step-dads, and there was no point in telling you
either because your relationship with your mom was always going to be
hard enough without you hearing from me other ways that she was a cruel
jerk in those last few years."
"She tried to rewrite my childhood." Sandra didn't bother stopping her
tears. "With something worse than magic, simply repeating the same lies
about you, about this house, so many times I almost started believing
them. So what really happened?"
Dafne took enough time to answer that Sandra was afraid she might just
pretend to fall asleep to escape the conversation. "It was a long list
of little things. Too long to get into tonight even if you did think it
might help you better understand your mother. A lot of it kind of boils
down into I politely asked her a few times to stop trying to take so
many magic shortcuts around life's hard work. It's one thing to use
magic to spicy up sexy times in bed, but it's another matter to try
cheating around things like aging or raising a daughter or aging while
raising a daughter. I'd made her promise that while we were raising you
together she'd age naturally with me and as the years passed that was a
harder promise for her to keep, and she grew to resent that and thought
I was too controlling of her use of magic, but really, it was never more
than a request on my part and then it became an excuse for her to lie
to
me about her uses of her magic because she was the victim escaping my
'control'."
Sandra took a big sniffle through her tears. "Thanks, Dafne. That was
more than enough detail. I don't think you know how much I needed to
hear that. I think it solved a puzzle I had been working on for too many
years. I needed that missing piece."
"I'm glad it helped." Dafne drifted back down in the covers, but as she
snuggled up in them she cuddled up strongly against Sandra.
Sandra was more than a little confused if she was crying out of sadness
or joy. Sandra was more confused if Dafne was spooning her just to
comfort her or also to tease her, despite them both needing sleep before
practice tomorrow. Sandra's confusion resulted in an even more
confusing
boner, as she tried to stop crying so that she could sleep.
----
When Sandra and Dafne got home from practice, Sandra's mother was
waiting for them on the living room couch. She'd deaged herself from the
last time Dafne had seen her and at this point looked sort of like
Sandra's evil, bustier twin.
Dafne tried to stay calm, cool, and collected, as she tried to ask the
obvious cold question. "Maureen, wha-"
Sandra's mother threw back her head and just cackled for several
minutes, entirely ignored Dafne's attempt to ask a question and turned
to Sandra. "Oh darling, when I had noticed you had spent nearly half a
lifetime's worth of magic I'd thought you'd done something rash and
regrettable, but this is an amazing revenge you've done to your evil
step-father! I can't believe you've doomed him to restart at college as
a woman. This hideously tall gangly, almost flat chested thing is going
to have the worst time dating. It's almost a crueler fate than leaving
her a single divorced dude. Then she'll eventually have to deal with the
cruelties of menopause. Ooh, I can't wait to watch the torture as that
plays out. It's much more poetic than any revenge I would have
considered as a term in the divorce." She cackled again.
Sandra cut her off with some fire. "I don't know what you are talking
about, mother. This is Dafne, my girlfriend from my volleyball team."
"Don't play dumb with me," Maureen snarled back. "I invented it."
"You invented being dumb?" Dafne asked innocently, unable to help
herself.
Maureen didn't take her eyes off Sandra and made a shooing gesture at
Dafne. "The way _she_," it was emphasized in a snarl. "called me Maureen
and that stupid dad joke coming out of her face like she's pretending
to
be as much of a bimbo as she looks? Do you think I wouldn't recognize my
ex or that I tracked you down to a house I very much recognize, even if
I couldn't also smell all the residual magic just leaking the fuck off
her?"
Sandra didn't think her mother actually wanted an answer to that
question, so she just stared back.
"Tell your thrall to go make us a sandwich or something so that we can
talk," Maureen ordered.
"No."
Maureen sighed. "No?"
"She's not my thrall, and I'm not ordering her to do anything."
Maureen's eyes widened and she turned to disappointment. "So you did
waste all that magic just to conjure up a plaything for your lame sports
team? You can't make enough friends the normal way?"
Then Maureen seemed to catch a whiff of some smell somewhere, stared
directly at Sandra's crotch and snapped her fingers a few times, and
turned to anger. "Really? After all that hard working raising you to be
a girl and a proper witch, you've given yourself such an abominable
tool? Think about how much less powerful you will be with it. Ugh, wait
until your biological father hears about this."
There was a massive poof of smoke and a quite elderly looking man in a
bath robe showed up in the living room. "What is it Maureen?"
"Kosmo, looks like you got a son after all." There was a lot of rancor
there. "Or least an abominable half of one."
"Hmm?" It was somewhere between a curious noise and an old man grunt.
Kosmo crouched down really uncomfortably close to Sandra's crotch to
examine it. "The wand's craftsmanship seems rather workmanlike. I don't
know, Maureen, it may have some useful power to exploit."
Kosmo took a bit longer to stand back up from the uncomfortable for
everyone in the room crouch, and looked into Sandra's eyes. "Well, maybe
now I could actually teach you something, boy. Finally. At the very
least, my library will now be open to you. You know where the key is.
Though I would suggest losing the breasts and vagina if you want to be a
proper apprentice to real magic." With that Kosmo poofed back out of
the
living room and Maureen rolled her eyes.
Sandra glared at her mother. "What do you want, mother, other than to
humiliate me and tell me I've made bad life choices?"
"I'm your mother, it is my job to humiliate you and tell you when you've
made bad life choices. I'm also your head witch and have to deal with
cleaning up after your messes, for the good of our society." Maureen
glared at Dafne. "This mess seems handled well enough for now, so I'll
leave you to wallow in it or whatever it is you are doing. Perhaps you
could call me sometimes and I won't have to surprise visit?"
----
At dinner, after being awfully quiet for most of the day after her
mother's visit (which Dafne did not blame her for one bit), Sandra
finally struck up a conversation. "I think they are both wrong."
"Your biological parents? About your powers?" Dafne was hoping she was
following the right conversation thread.
"Yeah. Mom thinks growing a dick compromised my powers, and Bio Dad
thinks it may have given me some new boy powers divorced from my old
powers that will take years of book studying to master. I think they are
both wrong. I haven't felt less powerful with a dick. I haven't felt
divorced from my old powers. Sure, I've felt the call of new powers, and
maybe I should study them some, but even my old ones feel stronger, not
weaker."
Dafne pondered this. "So y'all's magic really does come from what is in
your pants? Why aren't there a lot more magic users around with both
bits of equipment then?"
Sandra giggled. "Well, it's not exactly what is in our pants, but there
is a... flow of magic current through there, I guess? I don't know how
to
describe it yet. I don't think enough magic users studied gender
dynamics. Traditionally witches loathe sorcerers and vice versa. There
are reasons that Mom and Bio Dad never married or interacted much
outside the IVF process. Toxic gender normativity and straight people
have left weird scars in magic culture just as much as they have in
every other culture, I suppose."
Sandra took a few bites. "You know, I feel like I have enough power and
some new ideas from what my father said, I bet I could magic us a win in
the championship."
"You could, but you probably shouldn't?" Dafne worried about that look
in Sandra's eyes.
"I thought you were just as eager for a championship as me?" Sandra's
surprise broke the look of devious contemplation.
"I'm eager to put in the hard work to try to make it to the
championship. There's only one championship. It's not right to cheat
some other team out of that after all their hard work. It's not right to
ourselves to wonder if that other team we cheated out of the
championship was our own if we had just put in the hard work. The hard
work has worse odds, but the payoff is a lot greater." Dafne patted her
hand.
"Fuck me, you are the one who should have these powers if you could be
that smart about it. I really was debating doing something terrible like
my mother would?" Sandra shook her head and tried to eat a few more
bites through the self-disgust.
"I'm pretty sure that's how this works: the power corrupts and you need
a lightning rod sometimes to ground you. You know, a partner." Dafne's
hand had not yet left Sandra's, and Dafne moved from simple patting to a
more playful stroking of Sandra's fingers. "Speaking of fucking you, I
had some thoughts to try with your powers. Have you considered lactation
play and/or additional nipples?"
Sandra looked up from her self-disgust and into Dafne's eyes with a new
fascination. "Not yet."
"Interesting. What's your comfort level with furries?"
Sandra's cock at least realized that this change of subject was maybe a
bit more than just a change of subject, even if Sandra was wondering
just how much Dafne was teasing her. "I don't know, I don't think I've
had reason to think about it much."
"Okay. Well, I've got a folder on my computer we can start with to gauge
your interest or disinterest. With magic there's just so many fun
things
we could try in the bedroom, if you've got the magical stamina for it."
"Magic is best for sexy times?" Sandra decided she sounded like a bimbo
saying that out loud, giggled, and sounded even more like a dumb bimbo
in that giggle. "I'm not sure I deserve a partner like you to remind me
of that when I try to avoid hard work."
This time Dafne giggled like a bimbo. Sandra wasn't sure when Dafne's
other hand had disappeared below the table, and was willing to bet it
was a kind of magic, but that hand was now very gently grasping Sandra's
erection. Dafne leaned in and whispered sexily into Sandra's ear. "Oh
I'm very happy to remind you whenever you need, but," Dafne firmly
squeezed. "it seems like at least part of you really understands how
enjoyable a bit of hard work can be."
Sandra giggled at the terrible and sexy dad joke and then turned that
giggle turned into a delicious kiss.

The next day after volleyball practice, Caroline showed up at Dafne's
house.
"Please come in, Carol, and sit," Dafne said greeting her sister and
welcoming her into the home and leading her into the living room.
"When will Dave be back? He emailed me that he wanted to chat?" Caroline
was quite confused at the pretty, new to her, tall woman who looked
like
family.
"Sit, please. Can I get you some tea? Water?"
Caroline sat and shook her head. "I'm fine, thanks."
Dafne sat down across from Caroline. "I'm Dave, Carol. I mean, I was. I
did email you to come visit for a chat."
"Okay, I believe you. I guess you wanted to chat about this change,
Dave?"
"It's Dafne now."
"Oh, sorry. Of course it is, thanks Dafne."
Dafne looked into her sister's eyes. "That's it, you just believe me? No
puzzles, no twenty questions, Carol? No multi-day quiz about shared
secrets like in every one of those body swapping movies you made me
watch as a kid?"
Caroline laughed. "I think you just answered your own question, all of
the questions I had, and provided more proof than I needed, Dafne."
Dafne stewed on this for a bit.
Caroline smiled warmly. "Was there something else?"
"I was hoping you'd pretend to be my biological mom to make certain
legal hurdles go away, and also to make it easier to deal with, you
know, our Mom without her asking too many of the wrong sorts of
questions."
Caroline's eyes widened in shock. "Wow."
"That's fine if you don't want to do it. You can say no." Dafne was
sweating a bit. She didn't really have much of a backup plan if this
fell through, but she didn't want to pressure Caroline and she felt that
reaction seemed strange after the "I believe you" lack of reaction.
Caroline held her hands out to reassure Dafne. "I didn't say no. I just
was surprised. I think I would do it, but I have conditions."
"Conditions?"
Caroline hesitated, but then leaned in conspiratorially. "The first one
is that you agree to mommy/daughter time. I can't believe my little girl
finally found me in her college years, we have so much time to catch up
on."
"Sure." Dafne should have guessed Caroline might jump to the surrogate
daughter plot line on her own.
Caroline leaned in further and said just a bit quieter. "You, of course,
realize the pornographic scenario you've placed us in, right? My
surprise biological daughter is a hot woman in the prime of her youth?
I'm not going to require that mommy/daughter lead to sex as a part of
this condition, but I expect cuddles at least, and if it leads to sex
consensually, whoops I'm sorry new daughter, I could barely contain
myself in your sexy presence."
Dafne gulped and recrossed her legs. This maneuver unfortunately
reminded Dafne that she'd let Sandra last night talk her into keeping
the two bonus nipples just above her pussy (a bit like a deer or horse's
udder) at least for a few days. Dafne was glad her skirt wouldn't make
them anywhere near as obvious as her volleyball shorts had, but still
wasn't used to accidentally brushing them with her thighs. (Dafne
thought she might have had a leg up on it from her years of moving her
legs around a cock, but this was different in surprising ways and she'd
not realized how quickly she'd gotten used to regularly crossing her
legs.)
Caroline decided to accept Dafne's brief moment of discomfort as a sign
of arousal, though she would not have guessed at the bonus source of
arousal, and continued. "Two: I can tell you have a girlfriend living
here with you, and I'd love to meet her."
Dafne had predicted this but was still flabbergasted. "How did you
know?"
"Intuition," Caroline left as the answer, and Dafne rolled her eyes.
Dafne shouted towards the kitchen. "Hey hun, I guess I was right about
her guessing about you, you can come on out," and as Sandra entered the
room Dafne did the polite introduction. "Caroline, I think you remember
Sandra?"
Caroline stood up and gave Sandra a big hug. "Wow, you've grown into a
beautiful woman, Sandy." Caroline returned to her chair, and Sandra
moved to sit next to Dafne.
"It's good to see you again, Aunt Caroline," Sandra acknowledged.
Caroline laughed at the two of them sitting next to each other like
young lovers. "From the looks of it, it seems like you can call me mommy
like you wanted to as a kid. I may be your mother-in-law soon, if my
conditions are met."
Sandra's smiled a wide smile. "You'd be a great mother-in-law to have.
An upgrade from my biological mother, certainly."
Caroline turned back to Dafne. "You know this will really complicate
things with our Mom, though. What are the odds, Dafne, that I finally
meet a lost biological daughter and she's already dating a lost step-
kid?"
Dafne turned to Sandra and Sandra smiled sweetly and recited like it was
true. "When I met Dafne at a volleyball summer camp she had no interest
in her biological family, but it was incredible to me how much my camp
girlfriend reminded me of a good family I once knew and I helped
convince her to finally get tested by telling her that such good
families existed. Imagine our complete surprise at what a small world
this can be that it would turn out my old step-father was her Uncle!"
Caroline clapped like at an Opera performance. "Well, that sounds like a
good lie to me. We'll see if it passes my Mom's test at the holidays."
Sandra pouted and hung her head just slightly. "Apparently my strongest
biological inheritance was my ability to lie."
Dafne patted Sandra's thigh gently. "It's going to be alright,
everything I've seen indicates that Uncle Dave helped raise you right,
and you aren't fated to become your mother any time soon."
Caroline patted Sandra's other knee. "I'm sorry your mother was so-- I
mean, anyone who would do that to my sweet brother is just a-- I'm glad
you've found a new rock in Dafne and I agree, I think you are going to
be alright. Sandra, you're really lucky to have found someone sweet like
Dafne, especially at such a precious age and sharing a passion with you
like volleyball."
Sandra stared at Caroline. She'd never known a family that was so good
at bringing deeper truths out, even among the lies. Sometimes especially
among the lies. It was a magic of its own, and Sandra realized how much
such power was under-valued in the cruel world outside houses like this
one.
Dafne tried to cut some of the emotional tension. "I'm pretty sure I'm
the lucky one, especially with the way her cute lady cock can--" Dafne
realized she had no idea where that sentence was going when she started
it and covered her mouth to physically stop it there. Sandra giggled,
that also was certainly a deeper truth.
Caroline tilted her head at and towards Dafne. "Daf, dear. Finish the
sentence, please."
Dafne left her hands over her mouth. Sandra giggled again.
Caroline laughed. "Fine, condition Three:" Caroline took a deep inhale
to give a natural pause and on the exhale. "some."
Dafne broke down in laughter at the awful joke timing, slowly removing
her hands from her face in the process. It was a good "mom" joke.
Sandra stared at Dafne. "You cheated the odds. I'm not paying up."
Dafne caught some breath. "I put the hard work in."
Sandra sighed. "No, it sounds like you need me to put the hard work in."
Dafne smiled wildly. "Was that my baby's first dad joke?"
Caroline smirked. "They can be contagious. Though you need to work on
your delivery."
"I think she's better equipped to help you work on your next delivery,"
Dafne laughed. "Any other conditions we haven't covered, mommy?" Dafne
batted her eyes in the hopes of distracting Caroline from thinking of
any more.
"I'm thinking I'd like to get started on Condition Three right now.
Maybe also work on that delivery idea. Can you picture how complicated
we would grow the family tree with the three of us? We could fill both
our houses with little nephew-cousins and niece-cousins." Caroline had
already dropped her skirt onto the floor and put her hand down her
panties. Dafne noticed that the rising line of Caroline's sweater was
revealing surprisingly fit abs, that Dafne probably owed some bet money
to Sandra on that, and that Dafne's own hand was already playing with
the two nipples near her legs.
----
That year Sandra and Dafne's team didn't quite make the championship,
but they put in a strong enough effort to get recognized as "next team
out" and to get interest from a lot of strong recruits for the following
season, with their own ambitions for a championship. Team Captain
Angie,
with a nod from Coach Hope, ceremonially yielded the Captainship to
Sandra, due to Angie's pending graduation and Sandra's stellar
leadership in that season. Many emotions were had by all.
Sandra and Dafne had a good set of Holidays that season. Grandma Em was
excited to meet the "new" grandkid Dafne, and Grandma Em was extremely
welcoming to the "returning" grandkid Sandra just as soon as it was made
very clear that there was no chance of Sandra's mother Maureen showing
up (at all).
----
Just as soon as Dafne thought she might have a couple of months off
between practices for good behavior, Sandra squashed those hopes one
morning with, "We need to go shopping to get you a bikini before team
practice tomorrow."
"A bikini? Practice?" Dafne admitted groggily.
Sandra shrugged. "I don't make the league rules, I only enforce them as
an excuse to see my hot girlfriend in a bikini. Practice starts
tomorrow."
"What league?"
Sandra took a deep breath. "Do you think a girl named Sandy could ignore
the call to Beach Volleyball leagues?"
Dafne brightened up very quickly at this, smiling extremely brightly
with excitement. "I'm so proud of you Sandy, that was a top level dad
joke, you are going to make the best father!" Dafne blinked wide eyed in
a way that suggested Sandra could start working on the sort of activity
that could lead to her being a father if she asked nicely.
Sandra ignored this as the distraction it was. "Anyway, it's great
practice in the off-college season so long as neither of us gets hurt."
It wasn't like it was a new joke to Sandra, she'd grown up with it for
way too many years, but usually as the recipient and the butt of the
joke. "Mommy" Caroline had said that the trick to a good dad joke was
all in the delivery, and perhaps it really was contagious and was
rubbing off on Sandra.
Dafne patted Sandra's bulge. "Still, you are going to make a great dad."
"Are you just trying to push to sexy times to avoid bikini shopping,
Daf?"
Daf shook her head, but also continued to pet Sandra's growing erection.
"Oh, no, I can do both today, Sandy. We've got plenty of time, I think,
and I can make out with my girlfriend and then think about how cute it
will be to play Beach Volleyball in matching team bikinis with her."
"Matching? Team?" Sandra chuckled. "Did you think we'd be on the same
team? That's cute. It's a hat league, we may be randomly assigned to
different teams. I'm taking you down, if need be. The league is mine."
Dafne shrugged. "I will go down for you any day, just say the word,"
then Dafne increased her stroking of Sandra's cock. Sandra only moaned
in response. Some early morning shenanigans ensued and then they both
went off to shop for new bikinis together.
