The Flipped Family
by Karen Elizabeth L.
The Palmers were an average family of four living in your average suburban town leading average lives. At least their lives were average until the day when Laura, the loving wife and mother, stopped into a small bookstore on her lunch hour one day and picked up a rather dog eared book that caught her eye.
The subject of the book was a history of white magic, not the kind of magic that turned people into toads but helpful magic through the ages. As she read a few pages she was surprised to find that the book actually listed spells which people once paid witches for to improve their lot in life. Laura was amused and intrigued by the book and she decided to buy it for a little lunch time reading.
As she left the store Laura placed the book in her purse and forgot all about it until later that evening. Her husband Paul had decided to stop for a few beers with some of the guys at work while Amanda, her seventeen year old daughter and Sean her nineteen year old son fought over the bathroom as they prepared for their dates.
"If only Paul knew how much it meant to me to spend time together," she thought to herself. "And why can't Amanda and Sean see the other's point of view instead of being so selfish."
As she sat there thinking of how it would be such a better world for her if her husband and kids were only a little more thoughtful words from the book seemed to leap from the page.
There it was - in black and white, the solution to her problem, a spell to allow one person to share the thoughts and feelings of another! Laura read the description of the spell over and over until she was sure it was written just for her! With a few simple words she could smooth out all of the problems in her life and have the happy family she always dreamed of! Laura read the spell time and time again until she was satisfied that she could recite it without looking at the page then made her plans. The spell required that she name those who would be involved and decide on just how much they should know of each others feelings and thoughts. Laura thought for a few minutes then began to recite what she had memorized. She had decide that Paul would know exactly how she felt about everything and she how he felt. Amanda and Sean would also share each others feelings which would make for a much happier family Laura thought to herself. All that was left was to wait for that Friday night when she'd turn her ideas into action!
Friday night found Laura excited and proud of her plans, she had decided that two years would be the amount of feelings and thoughts that would be shared and delayed the effect of the spell until the coming morning when everyone could have a chance to share how they felt. She went to bed that night anxious for the morning and the changes it would bring.
The first to notice something wrong was Paul when he rolled over to embrace Laura and start a little foreplay. To his shock instead of nylon covered breasts he found a cotton shirt covering a hairy, muscular chest! Waking in a state of shock he was further stunned to see that the person lying next to him was him! Paul rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again but nothing had changed, he was indeed looking at a mirror image of himself but why?
"Who are you!" He demanded gruffly as he shook the person awake. Well he meant it to be gruff but the best he could seem to master was an indignant woman's voice - Laura's indignant voice to be precise! Try as he may he could not lower his voice the several octaves it would take to make him sound like himself! The man lying next to him woke with a start, looked at Paul for a few speechless moments then began to cry.
"Oh God, what went wrong?" sobbed the figure on the bed. "I'm sorry Paul, everything was going to be so wonderful, what could have happened?"
"Who are you?" Paul demanded. "Where's Laura and what are you doing in my house?"
"I think I'm Laura," The figure replied softly. "Or at least I was Laura, but from the way things look I suppose that you're probably Laura now!" "What are you talking about?" Paul insisted. "You can't be my wife, you're a guy, a guy who looks like me as a matter of fact!"
"This is going to take a little explaining," Laura said. "But I used to be Laura and you used to be Paul."
"You're not making any sense!" Paul shot back. "What are you talking about, that I used to be Paul? If I'm not Paul then who am I?"
In response Laura reached up and gently caressed Paul through the silky fabric of the nightgown he now wore.
"You're not going to believe this but you're Laura!"
Paul looked down to see what had caused the feeling of pleasure as the man claiming to be him held him close. He stared at the pair of soft, smooth, breasts that swelled from his chest and brushed against the nylon and lace of his nightgown.
"What's happened to me?" He cried out in shock. "Why am I wearing my wife's clothes and how did I get this body?"
"Sorry honey, I think I goofed and caused this problem." Laura replied trying to put things into a more positive light. "But if it's any consolation I think you look lovely!"
"Wonderful!" Paul cried out. "I'm all dressed up like a woman and you think I look lovely! Isn't that great!"
"In case you haven't noticed, you're not the only one around here who's different!" Laura said lifting her shirt and pulling her pants down. "I never had hair on my chest or this little gem in my pants before now you know!"
Paul looked down to see that the figure on the bed was indeed all man down to the mole he had in a rather private place. Suddenly it hit him, if this person had all of his equipment and he had breasts, what else might there be? Slowly he raised the hem of the nightgown and placed his hand inside the satin panties he now wore.
"Oh my God," He exclaimed in dismay. "I'm a .... "
"Woman, wife, mother" Laura finished the sentence for him. "You're all of those things now."
"And you?" Queried Paul hesitantly.
"A man, husband, father," Replied Laura softly. "Your man, your husband, and the kid's father!"
Laura stopped for a second, lost in thought. Suddenly her eyes grew wide in terror as she remembered the details of the spell.
"The kids!" she screamed. "I included the kids too!"
Laura quickly explained what she had meant to do and how she had set about doing it. She had no idea what went wrong and Paul didn't give her time to think about it.
"We have to get to the kids before they find out," He said. "We have to get there first!"
The sound of Amanda screaming told them that it was too late for at least one of the kids and moments later a shout from Sean confirmed that it was too late for all!
Sean and Amanda met them in the hall as they approached their rooms. Both had a look of horror and confusion on their face. Amanda ran to her mother's arms sobbing.
"Mom, look at me!" She cried. "I look like a boy!"
"You are a boy" replied Paul. "Just like I'm now a woman!"
Sean looked up puzzled at his mother's reply.
"Mom, dad, what's going on?" Amanda asked in a frightened voice. "Why do I look like Sean? What's happened to me?"
Paul stepped up to Amanda and pulled her close.
"Let's all go to the kitchen, I have some explaining to do!"
A thoroughly confused group of three listened intently as their new dad showed them the book of spells and explained what he had tried to do. It was only a simple mistake when Laura intoned "all that I am so shall you be" instead of "All that I know" but the effect was worlds apart from what Laura had in mind!
After they had listened to what he had to say they took turns asking questions hoping to find a way out of their jam. After almost two hours of learning that Amanda was now Sean, Sean was now Amanda, their mother was their dad and their dad was now their mom they sat in bewildered silence. "Look at the bright side Sean," laughed Amanda. "You've always been interested in college guys, now you'll have your choice of them!
"I said I wanted to date one, not be one!" Sean replied angrily. "Of course though if mom, or I guess dad, is right you're going to be the one wanting to date college guys for the next two years!"
"Two years!" Shrieked Amanda. "What do you mean two years?"
"I think what your sister, er I mean brother is trying to say is that the spell is probably going to last for two years." The new Laura stated.
"You did specify two years, right Laura?"
"I'm sorry," Paul sobbed, tears rolling down his cheeks. "I never meant for this to happen!"
"I believe you honey," Laura said as she hugged her teary eyed husband. "But we've got a lot of things to figure out. Not the least of which is what are Sean and I supposed to do with breasts!"
"I'd suggest a couple of bras for you ladies!" The new Sean giggled.
"After all, you'd never let me walk around without a bra on!"
Aren't you just a bundle of laughs today!" Her brother responded. "Just wait until you have to shave in the morning! Then we'll see how funny things really are!"
"Oh yeah," His sister said with a wicked laugh. "Well wait until you find yourself getting all worked up over a cute guy in one of my classes!"
"Dad!" He screamed. "I'm not going to be expected to mess around with other guys am I?"
"I'm afraid that's possible," Laura said. "Remember, you're going to be feeling all the thoughts and emotions your sister felt and she did have more than enough guys who wanted to date her you know! You'll find boys as attractive as your sister will find girls!"
Both Sean and Amanda sat quietly eating and contemplating what they were about to experience. As they sat they noticed that they seemed to know things they'd never known before. Sean found his thoughts drifting to a boy in his History class, cute face, lots of muscles, nice butt, would he be a good kisser? Amanda was shocked to realize that she was thinking about her best friend Susan, nice chest, pretty face, great butt, would she put out?
"You're disgusting Sean!" She shouted. "Susan's not that kind of girl!"
"Want me to tell everyone what you think about one of my friends?" Sean sneered. "Looks like I might be that kind of girl now!"
Laura calmed both of the kids down and explained that Amanda was now experiencing what Sean had thought and vice versa. For the next two years they would all get a bird's eye view of what the opposite sex was like and there wasn't anything that could be done about it. No one outside of the family would realize there was anything different if they just played along. For her it meant giving up the pretty clothes, having doors opened for her, and many other things that he had come to appreciate as Laura. Paul would have to deal with runs in his nylons, broken nails, setting his hair, and getting up two hours early to set his hair and fix his makeup for work.
"But what about school mom?" Amanda asked. "How am I supposed to take college courses when I have no idea what the teacher's talking about?" "How do you think I feel?" Asked Sean. "I'll have to do my senior year all over again!"
"Well at least I think I've got good news for you Amanda," Laura replied. "You now know everything that Sean knew so you'll have no problems in college."
"What about me!" Sean whined. "I not only have to repeat my senior year but now I have to do it as a girl too!"
"A very pretty girl with lots of friends," Laura added, trying to calm him down. "Trust me you're going to have a wonderful time!"
"I suppose that means I'll be doing your job for a while?" Paul asked.
"It would seem a little odd if you showed up at the factory looking like a woman, don't you think dad?" laughed Sean. "I can't wait to see you in one of mom's dresses!"
"Don't laugh too quickly Sean dear," Amanda interjected. "After all you'll be wearing the same kind of clothes that dad will you know! I know the guys at school always liked it when I wore that short pink dress I have upstairs in my closet And this summer at the beach should be really interesting seeing you in that white bikini of mine!"
"That's enough now you two!" Laura ordered. "We all have some adjustments to make and arguing isn't going to make them any easier!"
"Your mother, I mean your father is right kids," Paul said as he brushed back a lock of hair from his face. "We are going to have to get used to our new bodies and personalities if we're going to make it through the next two years.
I'm not thrilled about this but from now on I'm Laura, your new mom. Sean, you're now Amanda, a seventeen year old girl. Amanda, you're now Sean, a 19 year old guy and Laura you are of course Paul until we can straighten this out. We have to keep things as normal as possible to avoid any problems!"
After breakfast they went their own ways to get ready for the first day in their new bodies. Sean looked at the closet in what had been her brother's bedroom surveying the shirts and slacks hanging before her. She felt a sense of longing for her old room and closet with the pretty dresses, colorful tops, shorts, and shoes. She almost began to cry as she pulled out a pair of tan slacks, with a yellow shirt, dark socks, and a pair of jockey shorts to wear after her shower. As she showered her spirits were slightly buoyed as she realized she didn't have to bother shaving her legs and underarms but she still missed soaking in a nice tub of hot water. She wondered if she'd ever get used to not pampering herself as she finished her shower and grudgingly pulled on the briefs, jeans, and top.
Back in their room Laura and Paul had just finished a shower and were about to get dressed when Laura unexpectedly pulled Paul towards her and began to kiss him
"What do you think you're doing?" Paul said as he pushed Laura back. "I'm sorry honey!" Laura said apologetically. "I didn't mean to do that, it's just that a feeling came over me!"
"I understand" Paul said. "It's just that I'm not used to being treated like a woman! "
"I know what you mean," Laura said somewhat bewildered. "I can't believe I did that!"
"Could we give this a little more time please," Begged Paul. "I just don't know if I'll be able to adjust to being you for a while!"
"That sounds okay to me," Laura replied. "I can't believe how intense your feelings are! It was all I could do to not throw you down on the bed and make love to you!"
"That's a scary thought!" Paul replied shakily.
"You never thought twice about it when you were in this body!" Laura replied angrily. "All you ever thought about was getting satisfied!" "So you had to make me into a woman to teach me a lesson, is that what this is all about?"
"No, that's not what this is all about! I screwed up! I just wanted you to understand what you put me through!"
Paul pulled at the silky nightgown to emphasize his point. "Well this should certainly do the trick!" He replied sarcastically.
"If you need any more help just let me know!" Laura said slyly as she moved closer to Paul. "I'd be happy to help!"
Suddenly she shook her head. "I'm sorry Paul, sometimes these thoughts just pop into my head!"
"I suppose I can understand," He replied. "After all it's just what I would have thought if I were in your shoes."
"All right then, let's just try to keep our heads clear and get dressed," Laura said. "We've got a long way to go yet!"
"Tell me about it!" Paul said softly as he stood staring at a drawer filled with what was now his lingerie "I guess I've got to wear this stuff right?"
"They're a lot more comfortable than these things." Laura said, gesturing to the men's briefs she now wore. "I'm not looking forward to being a man at all!"
"The idea of being a woman doesn't exactly appeal to me you know! I'll trade you clothes anytime!" Paul shot back.
"No, " Laura said with determination in her voice. "You're a woman and that's how you're going to dress! I'm sure we'll get used to it in time!" "I hope so!" Paul said, shaking his head as he pulled on a fresh pair of panties and reached for a bra. "I certainly hope we can pull this off!" Neither Sean nor Amanda were anxious to go out in the state they were in but both had previously made dates for the evening and could not ignore the feelings to go through with their plans. Sean went to his new room and began to undress in preparation for a shower. He slowly removed his nightgown and panties and stared at his shapely reflection in the mirror wondering how he was ever going to get used to being female. He stepped into the shower and began lathering himself up the way he had for years when he suddenly stopped and shut the water off. Reaching down he inserted the plug to keep water in the bathtub and began to fill it with warm water. Once he had enough he poured a small amount of bath oil into the water and slowly stepped into the tub.
Sean lay there wondering what he was going to do for a few minutes then absent mindedly reached for Laura's shaving kit and began to work on his legs and underarms.
"No!" He screamed as he abruptly threw down the razor. "I'm not a girl and I'm not going to shave my legs!"
Feeling better he finished washing himself off and reached for the shampoo to wash his hair. Noting the flowery scent of the shampoo he was disgustedly set it back down and looked for something else he could use. Unfortunately for him his sister had nothing but sweet smelling liquids in her bathroom. If he was going to wash his hair he'd have to use what was there. Sighing he reopened the bottle of shampoo, poured the amount he'd always used into his hand and began to lather up.
Moments later he realized that an adjustment was going to have to be made in the amount of shampoo he used. What had previously been an ample amount for his short hair was no where near sufficient for his now shoulder length locks. He poured more shampoo, applied it to his hair and worked it in thoroughly. As he gave it his customary several minutes to work he was surprised to feel an overwhelming urge to shave his legs and underarms again. Unable to ignore the feelings he helplessly reached for the razor and lotion and began to work on his legs.
After carefully shaving his legs and underarms he picked up a piece of netting tied into a ball, squeezed out a small amount of moisturizing soap and slowly rubbed it onto his legs, arms, face, and chest before rinsing out the shampoo and applying creme rinse to his shoulder length hair. The directions instructed him to give the creme rinse time to work so he laid back in the tub full of hot water amazed at how good it felt to him. He ran his hands along his long, smooth legs and smiled thinking how nice they looked, picturing himself in the pink dress with stockings and heels. Just as quickly he tried to push the thoughts out of his mind and concentrate on more masculine things.
This can't be happening to me! He thought in disgust. I'm not really laying in a tub of water in my sister's room and I couldn't have just shaved my legs! Sean did his best but as he soaked in the warm water he found it increasingly difficult to keep Amanda's thoughts in check. He was in a girl's body with a girl's thoughts and there was little he could hope to change. Finishing with his bath he stepped into a pair of panties, wrapped himself in a robe and began to set his hair as he considered what to wear.
After setting his hair in heated rollers he toweled himself off, put his arms through a bra and fastened it. He pulled on a pair of fluffy white ankle socks, twisted and tugged until he could finally zip and button himself into a pair of tight jeans, then pulled on a blue and white striped top and began doing his hair and makeup. Completely dressed, his wavy hair bouncing off his shoulders Sean stared at the reflection in the mirror.
As he stared at himself he found himself battling mixed feelings, he was happy with the way he looked and was excited to be going out with the cute guy who'd just transferred to his school. On the other hand he was ashamed to enjoy the way he looked and wished there was any way to go back to being Sean.
In his room Amanda couldn't seem to shake the excitement she felt whenever she thought of the girl she'd be going out with that night. The girl was everything she could hope for, pretty, fun to be with, quick to laugh, and smart enough to tutor her in their Auditing class. Tonight would be their third date this month and they'd always had a great time together. Still the feeling scared her, she had no business feeling this way about another girl, she never had them before and were it not for her mom's screw up she'd be going out with the cute guy instead of being him! What was she supposed to do with another girl? She considered calling the girl and breaking the date but something inside her mind held her back. She'd have to trust that her parents were right when they said she'd be able to act just like Sean!
Their parents emerged from their room after an hour or so to wish the kids luck on their dates and assure them that everything would be fine. It was Amanda who noticed that her mom was wearing just a touch of makeup even though she never wore makeup at home before! Before she had a chance to talk to her mom though her date arrived to pick her up. As they were leaving she noticed a little wink from her mom as she said good-bye and noticed that her dad was gently rubbing her mothers butt!
Once the kids were safely out of the house Laura pulled Paul towards her and kissed him passionately. Caught unaware Paul didn't have a chance to think about was happening to him but instead melted into Laura's arms and allowed her to lead him off to their bedroom.
"You're awfully passionate tonight." Paul said softly as Laura began to unbutton his top. "Why all of a sudden though?"
"It's nothing sudden," Laura explained as she began to pull off Paul's jeans. "It's just that you've always been busy with the guys, I just want to show you what you've been missing!"
Paul looked up at Laura and began to cry. "Are you sure this is right?" He asked in a scared , childlike voice.
"I wish I could wait a little longer to sort things out my love," Laura said in a reassuring voice. "But I just can't seem to hold back these feelings for you!"
Laura helped Paul out of the clothes he was wearing and gently pulled him on top of him on the bed where he kissed and hugged him. Paul found himself thoroughly enjoying being the submissive partner in the relationship. It was such a drastic change to allow himself to be treated the way Laura was treating him but he realized that it was such a wonderful feeling to be held tightly in her arms. He smiled at Laura, gently kissed her then permitted her to make love to him.
Amanda couldn't believe that she was actually enjoying being the guy on her date, no matter how hard she tried she couldn't shake her brother's feelings for the lovely young woman she was with. She tried comparing her date's dress, makeup, and hair to styles she had enjoyed but was soon overwhelmed with the thought of how pretty her date was and how very badly she wanted to hold her and kiss her!
She did her best to stop the feelings but finally she was overcome with emotion and leaned over to kiss her date. To her surprise she found it exciting to meet the lips of this woman, to put her arms around her and hold her tight as they kissed. She wanted to break away, to feel shock and disgust but the male hormones and Sean's thoughts kept her close, kept her kissing. Her tongue began probing her dates mouth and soon a wave of unfamiliar but enjoyable emotions swept over her! Amanda noticed with delight that she relaxed her brother's thoughts and feelings would take over and she found herself acting as if she really were a boy.
Suddenly she became increasingly aware of a strange feeling in her crotch that brought to mind vague memories of how she felt when dating boys. This feeling however seemed to make her feel different, as though somehow she needed more than a kiss from this girl. The girl seemed able to sense Amanda's feelings which seemed to add a bit more passion to the girl's kisses. Before things could get totally out of control though her date gave her one last kiss and reminded her that they were supposed to be going to dinner. Amanda was embarrassed to realize that her date had to reign her in just as she had done to boys she dated. How far would her new male emotions and desires have taken her if the other girl hadn't stopped her?
Sean was also finding that dating as a girl was a different experience altogether from dating as a boy. At first he found it a little disconcerting to have her date open his car door for him but just as Amanda had found once he relaxed his sister's thoughts took over and he soon found himself snuggling close to his date and allowing the boy to hold his hand as they walked. He found himself smiling happily when his date told him that he was the prettiest girl he'd ever dated Those few words made Sean feel so happy inside yet he would have laughed if his sister had described how she felt on dates He found it odd that the strong emotions he felt as a male were no longer present. Instead the only way he could describe the way he felt would have been to say that he was comfortable and happy. Hardly the way he had felt before but a wonderful feeling right then!
After a movie and a burger Sean's date shyly asked if he'd like to drive to a secluded park where the could look out over the city. Sean had taken several girls there in the past, it was a favorite spot for boys to take their dates to make out. At first he wanted to punch his date for even suggesting that he might want to make out with another guy but all he could seem to do was to smile and say "That sounds wonderful!"
As they drove to the park Sean found himself becoming more and more attracted to his date and slid over to be next to him as he drove. The boy smiled appreciatively, draped his arm around Sean's shoulders and pulled him close much to Sean's delight!
Finding an out of the way place to park Sean's date turned off his car and began to turn his attention to Sean who by then had cuddled up next to him. He gently lifted Sean's chin then kissed him tenderly on the lips. All thoughts of his former sex seemed to completely vanish from Sean's mind as he put his arms around his date's neck and returned the kisses. Time seemed to stand still as the boy held him tightly in his arms and ran his fingers through his hair. Sean was delighted with the attention and rewarded his date by kissing his neck and playfully nibbling on the boy's ear!
At the end of the evening Sean's date walked him to the front door where they stood talking for a few minutes before saying good night. When his date asked if they could go out again the next weekend to the homecoming game Sean kissed him and told him that as a cheerleader he had to be on the field with the other girls during the game but that he'd really appreciate it if the boy came to the game. Perhaps after the game they could stop for a burger or something.
The boy's face light up as he thought of how he'd get to show off his pretty date in her cheerleader's uniform! Sean was going to be a trophy for the boy to proudly display but even that seemed to make him feel good! Caught up in his sister's emotional tidal wave he stood on his tip toes and gave his date one final kiss before going inside. As the boy walked away smiling Sean found himself feeling only slight upset that he had kissed another boy. He tried hard to suppress the dominant feelings of happiness and longing that were overcoming him and making him look forward to seeing the boy again!
After dinner and a movie Amanda drove her date back to her apartment and quickly accepted the invitation to stop in. Once inside she fought as hard as she could to prevent her brother's feelings from taking over her mind but it didn't help, the instant she relaxed she found herself pulling the girl down next to her on the couch.. Soon they were back in each other's arms with Amanda vainly trying to remember that she was also once a girl. At that moment though, with a pretty girl in her arms, she couldn't quite focus on being a girl, it was just too important to be a guy!
That night at home their parents were very interested in how their dates had gone but neither Amanda nor Sean were willing to go into much detail other than to say things were fine. Paul and Laura never noticed the scared looks the kids gave each other before leaving the room.
"Could I ask you something?" Amanda asked Sean after their parents had left the room. "It's really impotent!"
"Sure," Sean replied eagerly. "I need to talk to you too!"
"How did your date go tonight?" Amanda asked in a low voice.
"A whole lot better than I expected," Sean sighed. "To tell the truth I had a great time!"
"Me too!" Amanda exclaimed,. "Where did you go?"
"Oh we took in a movie, got a burger"
"That's it?"
"Well there was "Lookout park", Sean mumbled.
"Where?" Asked Amanda with a smile. "Lookout park?"
"Yeah, Lookout park!" Sean shot back defensively. "What about it?"
"Did you..." Amanda asked , her voice trailing off.
Sean looked at his feet as he answered. "Uh huh." He answered in a low voice.
"Did you like it?" Amanda continued.
"Please don't say anything to mom and dad!" Sean pleaded. "I didn't really mean to, it just sort of happened! One minute we were looking at the city and the next he was hugging me and we were making out!"
"Me too!" Amanda replied with a smile. " Jean had to stop me in the car. After dinner we went to her apartment and made out some more!"
"I was having a blast!" Sean giggled. "He was so cute and a great kisser!"
"Kissing Jean was so totally different," Amanda said. "It felt so good to hold her close and feel her body against mine. I've never had those kind of feelings before."
"I just hope that I'll be able to have them again!" Sean said dejectedly.
"What happens if we can't switch back in two years?"
"Don't worry," Amanda said reassuringly. "We'll switch!"
"But what if something goes wrong, suppose you decide you like being a boy?"
"That would never happen!" Amanda asserted. "I love my pretty clothes and going out with boys!"
"Problem is, I'm starting to feel the same way!" Sean replied. "I really enjoyed being a girl tonight!"
"Enjoy it while you can because in two years I'm going back to pretty clothes and boys!" Amanda said forcefully. "Nothing is going to stop that!"
"I can't wait to quit wearing bras and panties and get back to pretty girls myself!" Sean replied as he thanked his sister and went back to his room to get ready for bed. He hoped that Amanda was right but just wasn't sure if he could really switch back.
That night as Sean lay in bed wearing his favorite cotton nightgown he desperately sought to keep thoughts of the evening out of his mind but as he grew tired the thoughts came crashing through his mental barriers. He remembered how he had kissed his date and the warm feeling it had given him. He soon found himself thinking of the boy, what a wonderful time he had that evening and hoping tit would be just as nice the next weekend. Lost in pleasant thoughts it didn't take long for his estrogen drenched brain to move on to the Home Coming dance to be held the next weekend and the prospects of a date? As he drifted off to sleep he found himself wondering what outfit he'd wear to the dance, he had a closetful of pretty outfits although he felt certain he could eliminate any slacks from his choices. No this was a special dance which called for a special dress. He made a mental note to ask his mother to take him shopping to find the perfect dress for the dance!
Across the hall, Amanda was also having problems getting to sleep. All she could seem to think about was Ann, the girl she'd gone out with that night. She couldn't get Ann out of her mind, her long dark hair, her captivating smile, her gentle laugh, and of course her fantastic body were burned into her mind and no amount of work would remove them. The more Sean thought about Ann the happier she became until she noticed with some alarm that once again he had an erection! How could this be happening she wondered. She was a normal seventeen year old girl even if she was temporarily in the body of a nineteen year old guy. She wanted to think of the pretty dresses in the closet across the hall, the makeup on the vanity table in the other room, the cute guy she was supposed to have had a date with. She wanted to think of all those things but Ann was all she could think of! Her brother was dating the guy she had wanted to date and she was dating another girl! No, not just another girl, she suddenly thought. She was dating Ann, beautiful, fun loving, sexy Ann! She was dating Ann and that was all that really mattered in the world!
Oblivious to their children's plight Paul and Laura were also trying to deny their new sex roles. For her part Laura felt somewhat ashamed at having succumbed to physical urges earlier when she and Paul had made love. She wanted it to be different, she wanted to be held made to feel secure but things hadn't worked out that way. Instead she had held Paul close and told him how pretty he was, ho very sexy he looked, and how much she loved him, To her surprise, instead of pulling away in fright Paul had responded just like a woman and allowed Laura to take him in her arms and seduce him! The smile on his face as he permitted Laura to undress him told of his enjoyment of his role as a woman!
As they entered the bedroom Paul was determined that this time his will power would be stronger. This time he'd resist the advances he knew to expect. He was certain that he was strong willed enough to regain his role as the dominant partner regardless of how he now appeared.
Paul was certain that he was totally prepared until he removed his slacks and Laura began kissing his neck and rubbing his butt through the silky panties he wore. Paul's resistance suddenly faded as he allowed Laura to unhook his bra and pull him back down on the bed again. Hard breathing told Laura that the time was right as she pulled her onto the bed as they kissed. Minutes later Paul was once again curled up in Laura's arms feeling safe, secure, and so much in love! Tomorrow would give him another chance to regain control of his thoughts, tonight he just wanted to be a woman in love!
They lay holding and kissing each other for some time before Laura drifted off to sleep. Paul slipped quietly out of bed and changed into a delicate white baby doll nightgown and panty set that he had once bought for Laura. He giggled to himself as he remembered buying it to seduce his wife some night. Now here was, in his wife's body slipping on the oh so dainty garment to show Laura how special it made him feel to be her woman! He gently pulled on the panties then slipped the see through nightie over his head until it fell to just below the lace edging on the leg openings of his panties. Primping in the mirror he fluffed his hair, then blew kisses to himself before spraying on some perfume. He slipped quietly back into bed, leaned over slightly to kiss Laura then contentedly laid his head on his husband's chest as he fell fast asleep.
The next morning Amanda and Sean were disappointed to find that the previous day's events had not been just a bad dream. Resolving to keep his clothes as close to male as possible Sean chose a pair of tan slacks with a white top to wear to church over a pair of plain cotton panties, a bra and socks. He brushed his hair into as unisex style as possible then slipped on a pair of white flats before deciding that he looked just right.
Amanda had decided that if she had to be a boy at least she be a well dressed one and managed to put together quite a sharp look with a pair of jeans and a top which defined her now muscular chest and arms. Before the change she had secretly been proud of her brother's good looks and muscles, he took pride in looking good and girls never failed to notice. Her girlfriends used to tell her how envious they were of her and how wonderful it must be to have such a good looking guy for a brother. To her though it was a waste, she couldn't date her own brother no matter how cute he was. Now it became clear to her that her brother had a liking for some of her friends and she was terrified to think that she was likely to end up dating one in the near future. She did her best to put the thought out of her mind as she finished getting ready for church but she knew that those thoughts would not go away!
As the family met downstairs Sean and Amanda were shocked to see how their parents were dressed. Their dad looked great in a green jersey and tan slacks while their mother looked fabulous in a black skirt, white blouse, a gold and black vest, dangling earrings, white stockings, and black heels. Laura's makeup was perfect, just enough to make him quite attractive but subdued enough for daytime wear. As they glanced down his arms they took note of the bracelets he wore, the birthstone ring on his right hand, engagement and wedding rings on his left and the wine colored polish that adorned his nails. Just two short days ago this vision of loveliness had been their father but today, in his wife's clothes, his purse dangling from his shoulder he was most certainly a woman!
"You look hot mom!" Amanda exclaimed. "That outfit looks prefect on you, don't you think so dad?"
Laura smiled and drew Paul close for a long kiss and embrace. "You look great sweetheart!"
Paul smiled and kissed Laura on the cheek. "Not in front if the kids!" He laughed playfully.
Sean and Amanda took a careful look at their parents and then at each other. What could have caused their parents to so completely adopt their new sexes so quickly and what if it happened to them?
"Are you going out looking like that?" Laura asked as she looked at Sean's outfit.
"I certainly am!" Sean retorted. "I for one am not going to forget that I'm really a guy!"
"You look terrible! A little makeup wouldn't hurt you know!"
"Let me handle this dear," Paul said softly. "If you gentlemen will kindly give us ladies a few minutes to ourselves I'm sure we can work this out!"
Paul took Sean by the hand and quietly led him back to his bedroom.
"Now you know you can't go around looking like this," He said quietly.
"People would think there's something wrong with you!"
"Well there is something wrong!" Paul shouted. "I'm not supposed to be a girl and I'm not going to be one!"
Paul looked at his son and smiled. "What would you think if Amanda decided to wear her old clothes and makeup again? He asked softly.
"That's up to her!" was Sean's reply. "She can do whatever she wants!"
"And in two years when this is all over how are you going to like people remembering you as the boy who dressed like a girl?" Paul asked with a smile. "How many girls do you think will date you then?"
Tears began to well up in Sean's eyes. "I see you're point dad, what should I do?"
"First, quit calling me dad!" Paul said with a laugh. "I didn't spend forty five minutes doing my hair and makeup to be called dad!"
"Okay mom!" Sean said as Paul wiped away his tears. "What should I do?
"Leave it to me!" Paul replied. "I'll get you fixed up just right and I'll bet you'll really love the way you look when I'm done!"
Paul handed Sean a pair of lace trimmed, nylon panties and a matching satiny bra to change into along with a pair of nude pantyhose. Next came a lace trimmed half slip and a cream colored dress with a delicate floral pattern. Sean began to relax and soon was winding his hair into heated rollers as his dad applied pink nail polish to his fingernails. finishing with his hair Sean began to use skills he didn't realize he had to apply his makeup.
"What do you think of your daughter now?" Paul asked Laura as they descended the steps to the living room.
"Is that really you Sean?" Amanda asked of the young woman standing in front of her. "You look fabulous!"
"Thanks, I had a lot of help!" Sean smiled as he hugged Paul. "Ready mom?" He asked.
Sean ended up spending the rest of the afternoon in his room trying on various outfits to see which he looked best in. Each time he tried on a n outfit he found himself wondering what his girlfriends would think of it and how the boys at school would react to it and was amazed to find that what the boys would think was more important to him!
He started to wonder what might happen if he couldn't ignore the new feelings? Could he actually get used to panties, bras, makeup, and especially boys? What would happen if while he was a girl he became attracted to a boy? There was no denying that he felt great when he was on the date the night before. Was that the way a girl felt with a boy she liked? What if he found himself becoming serious about a boy? Oddly enough the thought really didn't scare him as much as he had expected. Instead he felt very happy as he remember how his date had held and kissed him and how he had been only too happy to return those kisses
He'd be repeating his senior year in high school and his first year in college but maybe that wouldn't be too bad, he could improve his grades which would help later.
Amanda's mind was racing away with the same concerns as she thought of kissing and holding another girl. It wasn't hard to do the night before when she had a pretty girl in her arms. Actually it was very enjoyable she thought as she remembered the increased level of desire!
She wouldn't need to shave her legs anymore, there'd be no more monthly periods, she'd be out of high school and one step closer to being on her own! This could just work out!
Through out the day Sean and Amanda found it difficult to concentrate on what was going on, their minds seemingly could not be turned from their current plight. Sean had been checking out cute guys and outfits other girls wore while they were in church that morning while much to her dismay Amanda found herself sizing up the physical attributes of the girls she saw! Each came to the same conclusion, they would have to talk to someone about what was happening and soon!
Later, at home, Sean and Amanda sat down with their parents to discuss their problems. Laura tried to soothe Sean's feelings by telling him that for the next two years it would be natural for him to have feelings for boys and to enjoy their company. Once the two years were up he should revert back to being a boy with no problems. Until then however he was going to have to get used to having a girl's body and the feelings that went with it.
"What do you mean by 'Should revert back'? " He lamented. "What if I don't change back into a boy again, then what?"
"Calm down honey," Paul replied. "Everything will be fine, you'll see."
"And if it isn't?" Sean shot back.
"There are worse things in the world than being female." Laura replied with a smile as she clutched Paul's hand. "I think I could get used to it without trying hard at all!"
"You can't be serious dad!" Amanda shouted.
"I'm not your dad remember?" Paul replied sweetly. "And I am very serious. Since I'm going to be a woman for a while I plan to relax and enjoy myself."
"Make that two of us!" Laura chimed in. "While your dad here is relaxing and enjoying himself as a woman I'm going to be taking his place as a man!"
"Maybe you're right mom" Amanda added to her brother's surprise. "So far being a guy has been a blast for me!"
"But what about all the fun you could be having as a cheerleader?" Sean asked, worried that the tide was turning against him. "Not to mention all the pretty outfits you used to enjoy wearing, all of your girlfriends, and let's not forget dating!"
"I'll miss cheerleading I suppose but I'll get over it and when we switch back I'll remember how much fun you had!" Amanda replied happily. "My clothes will look much better on you, I might just ask a few of my old friends out and if dating as a guy is anything like last night was I think I'm going to enjoy it!"
"Tell you what sweetheart," Paul said as he put his arm around Sean. "How about if just the two of us go out for a few hours to talk things over?"
"Oh wonderful!" Amanda exclaimed. "What will we do, go shopping?"
"Sounds like a great idea to me!" Paul said. "I'll bet it helps if you try!"
"Why not," Sean replied despondently. "I could use someone to talk to right now anyhow."
While Amanda and Laura settled in to watch a football game Sean and Paul set off for an afternoon of shopping and talking things over. They stopped at the food court in the mall and had a mother - daughter talk as they ate. Sean confided that his biggest fear was that he might actually enjoy being a girl. He told of how good it felt to be out with a boy, how he found himself hoping that the boy would ask him out again, and how he was looking forward to going out with the boy the next weekend. Once he started talking he poured out his heart while Paul smiled and listened patiently.
" Would it help if I said I know exactly how you're feeling?" Paul said with a smile. "I had the same worries that you have until your dad showed me how much fun we could have. Trust me, being a woman can be a really wonderful experience! It's a totally different experience but one I'm sure you'll enjoy as much as I think I will!"
Sean felt much better after their talk and agreed to give in to his new feelings. If his father could not only get used to, but come to enjoy being female in just one day then there must be a good reason for it! They finished their lunch and spent a delightful afternoon shopping.
Monday dawned bright and early and with it a bit of apprehension over what their new lives would bring to them. After showering Paul asked Laura for help in selecting an outfit to wear for his first day as a secretary. She selected a pair of nylon panties, bra, half slip, and camisole for him to wear under a silky white blouse, straight black skirt, and a red plaid jacket.
"Are you sure it had to be this fancy?" Paul lamented. "Being a woman over the weekend was one thing but going out in public dressed this way..."
"Trust me," Laura said. "Once you're all dressed you'll see how nice you feel!"
Paul shrugged his shoulders as he began pulling on his stockings. "I just hope you're right." He murmured.
He was amused to find that although he'd never worn women's clothing before that weekend he was able to once again put on his pantyhose without a problem and fasten his bra as if he'd done it for years. Before putting on his skirt and blouse he sat at his vanity and expertly made up his face and styled his hair. Satisfied with his looks he put his blouse on then stepped into the skirt, tucked in his blouse and zipped himself up. A pair of red pumps completed what he had to admit was a very becoming outfit! Watching Paul dress Laura was grateful that for the next two years she wouldn't have to worry about runs in her stockings or what effect longer or shorter hemlines would have on her wardrobe. She pulled on a pair of jockey briefs, slid a tee shirt over her hairy chest then dressed in a dark blue suit, ankle high socks, a red tie, and black shoes. No need for makeup she thought happily as she ran a comb through her hair, shaving was a pain but it was better than putting on her makeup.
Sean had taken his father's talk to heart and chosen a pair of white panties, bra, jeans, and a pink scoop neck top to wear to school. He considered a pair of his tight jeans but decided to save them for looking hot and sexy on a date. Loose, easy fitting jeans would be more comfortable for a day in school! He pulled on his panties, fastened his bra, then pulled on his jeans, socks, and top before he too did his hair and makeup.
At the breakfast table the topic of conversation quickly came to getting dressed with the men commenting on how nice it was not to have to worry about makeup and doing their hair while the women agreed on how great it was not to have to shave in the morning. Finally everyone took off for their respective destinations and the start of their new lives.
Paul found that being a secretary agreed with her completely. Gone were the pressures of his former job as a middle level manager, as a secretary he was considered indispensable by the man he worked for and treated accordingly. He also found that he preferred the company of the other women he now worked with to the men he had worked with before. As a woman he found himself relaxed and enjoyed talking about home, the kids, and even his husband! Instead of incessant jabbering about sports with men he could share his feelings about a movie he had watched the night before and compare it to other movies as to plot and the cast.
Laura in contrast, loved her new role as a manager. She enjoyed working with others towards a common goal and felt a thrill at being given responsibilities that she had never considered before. She couldn't wait to get home that night and tell Paul what an exciting and rewarding job she had and how great it felt to be able to be taken seriously for a change.
Sean and Amanda were also amazed at how easy it was for them to totally take over the character of the other and what a great time they were having in doing it! Sean was determined to make up for some bad grades he had gotten during his time in high school so he could apply to a more prestigious college than the one he had gone to. That shouldn't be too hard he thought now that he was most likely the only girl in school to have come back to twelfth grade after two years in college! Of course he planned to make time for a social life too since there were a lot of cute guys who seemed to be interested in him.
Amanda was having a fantastic time attending school without all of the constraints she had to deal with in high school. The classes were far more interesting and classes were far more relaxed that when she had last been in school. An added bonus was that as a nineteen year old guy she could stay out later and go places she would never have thought of going to before as a girl.
Dinner at the end of that week took longer than ever before as each member of the family excitedly relating how their week went.
"I just loved it!" Gushed Paul. "It's so much nicer not having to worry about every little thing that's going on in the company or that might happen years from now! The other women are really sweet and so thoughtful!"
"I can't figure out how you could be able to give up the excitement and sense of fulfillment you had in your job honey," Laura replied. "Better yet, I don't have to worry about what a bunch of catty women think of my outfit!"
"They're really not catty at all!" Paul said defensively. "I think they're a really sweet bunch of girls who are really interested in each other!"
"You're old friends aren't nearly as self centered as I thought they were Sean told Amanda. "Of course cute boys are a major topic of conversation for us!"
"Oh?" Paul teased. "So you're interested in cute boys now are you?"
Sean flipped his head in a sexy way. "Maybe," He smiled. "I suppose there are a couple of guys who could be called cute!"
"A couple?" Laughed Amanda. "Just a couple?"
Sean broke into a happy smile. "Actually, just one!"
"You and Carl have been seeing a lot of each other lately," Paul commented. "Anything serious?"
"I certainly hope so!" Sean giggled.
"Don't you mind shaving your legs and sleeping in curlers?" Queried Amanda. "How about having to watch how you sit and bend over when you're wearing a dress?"
"I've really gotten to like wearing pretty dresses so if that's what I have to do then I'll manage!" Sean said confidently.
"Good girl!" Chimed Paul. "I agree with her completely! My new clothes are so pretty and comfortable compared to what I used to wear! Besides it makes me feel good to wear a pretty camisole under my blouses!"
"How do you like wearing a girdle though?" Laura asked. "You can't tell me girdles are comfortable!"
"After a little while I forget I'm wearing one!" Paul said. "Anyhow you like when I wear a girdle with stockings!"
"I like pants much better than skirts!" Amanda added. "Especially in winter!"
"Your sister and I can wear slacks too you know! " Paul added. " You and your dad don't have the wardrobe options that we have!"
"You can keep them!" Laughed Amanda. "Just think dad, no more trying to walk in heels!"
"That's a relief!" Laura sighed. "My feet used to ache after a day in heels!"
"Carl likes it when I wear heels!" Sean pouted. "He says I look very pretty in them!"
"Men always say stuff like that!" Laura laughed. "It would be different if they had to wear them!"
"We'll be wearing them for the next two years in case you've forgotten Laura dear!" Laughed Paul. "Your husband and son in skirts and heels for two years thanks to you!"
"You two seemed to have adjusted rather nicely to being female." Laura smiled. "Maybe you'd like to keep it this way?"
Paul looked over at Sean and smiled. "Maybe we will!"
"You never really know!" Laughed Sean.
From that point on life just seemed to get better for all concerned. Laura and Paul were happier and closer than ever before in their jobs and their personal lives. Their sex life improved dramatically also, where they had once made love sporadically now it was an almost nightly routine for them with Laura often making love to Paul in ways which she had always wanted to try if only her husband would come home early from a bar. For his part Paul brought Laura to new heights of pleasure with techniques he had wanted to have his wife use on him but had thought she'd feel were too kinky.
The seasons passed quickly and soon the school year was about to end for Sean. First though came the most important event in the life of any high school girl - the prom! Amanda had been seeing quite a lot of Carl, the boy he had his first date as a girl with and now Carl had asked if Amanda would honor him by being his date for the prom! Sean jumped at the offer, throwing his arms around Carl's neck and kissing him. There was just something about Carl which made him feel so happy, so comfortable, that it wasn't long after they met that he was wearing a ring which clearly stated that he was Carl's girl and proud of it!
Paul and Sean shopped for weeks to find just the right dress for the prom, finally settling on a romantic, rose colored, off the shoulder dress in satin. Sean knew the dress was perfect the instant he saw it and when Paul saw how beautiful he looked in it they knew the search had ended. All that remained now was to round up the necessary accessories such as shoes, purse, and lingerie.
The evening of the prom was a hectic one for Sean. His best friend Susan and her date would be double dating with her and Carl so she came over to Sean's house to dress. As they stood in Sean's bedroom clad only in their panties and bras Sean noticed that although it had always been a fantasy of his to see Susan this way it no longer seemed important to him. Tonight he was as much a girl as Susan was and the only one he cared for was Carl!
Carl was so proud of his beautiful girlfriend as they walked into the prom and all eyes turned to look at what everyone there figured to be a couple for life! For his part Sean had never known such a marvelous feeling than he had when Carl put his arm around him and gently led him to the dance floor for the first dance. If Carl had asked Sean to marry him then the answer would surely have been yes! To all who saw them that night they were the perfect couple so when it came time to vote for the King and Queen of the Prom it was just no contest! When the results were announced the crowd cheered as Carl hugged Sean tight and kissed him! Sean was so happy that tears were running down his cheeks but that didn't stop him from giving Carl a kiss that lasted as long as the other kids kept cheering!
Summer vacation was soon upon the Palmers with Sean and Amanda wondering how to spend it. Jean had gone home for the summer break leaving Amanda wondering how she could miss another girl as much as she did Jean. Sean had found himself a part time job as a lifeguard for the local pool and found that he actually enjoyed having the boys stare and smile at him every time he walked by. He'd spent a lot of time jogging and exercising that past winter and now his figure showed it! His long shapely legs, nicely rounded butt, and pretty face were the object of every teen age boys desire and he loved it! Once he had resigned himself to spending time as a girl he had set about making certain that he'd be the best possible girl he could be. He enrolled in Jazzercise classes after school, jogged several miles every weekend, and religiously studied fashion magazines! Many of the boys in his senior class would have given anything to have a date with Sean but there was no room in Sean's life for any other boy but Carl.
Amanda was lonely without Jean in her life but it was several lonely weeks before she worked up the courage to do what she had once sworn she never do - ask one of her old girlfriends for a date. The girl had been her best friend before the change and Amanda couldn't help but wonder if things were different now that she was a boy. Finally she could take it no more so one evening when the girl stopped by to see Sean, Amanda took the chance and asked her for a date.
"Are you serious?" The girl asked skeptically. "You'd really go out with me?"
"Certainly," Amanda replied. "That is if you'd like to go out with me."
"Like to!" The girl exclaimed happily. "I've wanted to go out with you since I was thirteen! I just can't believe you'd actually go on a real date with me!:
"I promise to behave," Amanda said, winking at Sean. "Would a movie be okay or is there something you'd like to do?"
"If you don't mind," The girl said with a grin. "I'd rather go to the dance with you on Friday night. That was I can make sure all my friends see us together and that will make me the winner!"
"All right, the dance it is." Amanda agreed. "But what do you mean by the winner?"
The girl smiled at Sean. "You mean you never told him?"
"I wasn't about to let him think he was that good looking!" Sean giggled.
"I'll tell him after you're gone!"
The girl smiled at Amanda as she left that evening and told her that she couldn't wait for the weekend. After she was gone Amanda asked Sean for an explanation.
"Last month the girls at school voted you the brother they'd most die for to date!" He explained. "They took bets on which of them would be the first to get a date with you!"
Amanda shook her head in amazement. "I've known Denise since we were kids and she never once mentioned your name!"
"I've always thought she was the cutest of all your friends!" Sean whispered. "Even better than Susan!"
The dance turned out to be a lot of fun for Amanda and her date. Just as Sean had predicted Amanda's date was the envy of many of the other girls including the group Amanda had once been part of. She occasionally found herself wishing that she could be the one with the pretty dress swirling as she danced or joining her old friends as they went to the ladies room to talk about their dates. Things we different now she told herself, she was a boy on a date with a pretty girl and she owed it to her date to be the boy she was expecting Amanda to be.
Later after a quick burger Amanda found herself suggesting that they drive to "Lookout Park". She wanted to take the words back the instant she uttered them, but it was too late. Her date couldn't have been happier with the prospect of making out with her friends cute older brother! At the park Amanda wanted to apologize for bringing her date there but when she looked at the pretty girl sitting beside her the apology was forgotten and she found herself putting her arms around the girl's shoulders to pull her closer. They kissed and talked for nearly an hour with the girl telling Amanda things that she'd never known about her before. Why hadn't she told me this before, Amanda thought to herself. We've been friends for years and I had no idea she felt this way about things!"
Their date ended with a good night kiss from the girl that told Amanda that they could easily be more than friends. She thought about the ironies of being the romantic interest of a girl she had once shared a gym shower with. Life as a boy was certainly proving to be strange for her but somehow she found that she was starting to enjoy it!
Amanda dated several different girls over the course of the summer but couldn't get Jean out of her mind. One day though she made up her mind that enough was enough and made a phone call to Jean. It was as if they'd never parted, they laughed and seemed able to complete each other's thoughts! As they talked Amanda's remaining female emotions were practically screaming at her to put down the phone. In two short years she'd be a girl again and then what would she do about Jean?
It didn't matter, Amanda thought to herself. Sean would understand, he'd just have to understand. There could be no one else in Amanda's life but Jean!
Two years had nearly gone by when one day Amanda asked Sean if she could talk to him about something important.
"Sure, what's up? " Sean asked. "Want me to fix you up with another one of my girlfriends?"
"No, nothing that easy," Amanda replied, her voice wavering as she spoke.
"It's something really important to me and in a way you too."
"Okay, how can I help?" Sean asked. "Just name it and it's yours!"
"I don't want to change back!" Amanda blurted out. "I want to stay the way I am!"
"Are you serious?" Sean asked. "You mean you want to wait longer to switch back?"
"No, I don't want to switch at all, ever!" Amanda replied gravely. "I'm going to ask Jean to marry me!"
Sean looked at his sister in silence for several minutes. He knew that Jean meant a lot to her but this was more than he had realized. Amanda was asking Sean to allow her to stay as a male forever and that meant that Sean would then have to spend the rest of his life as a female. What kind of life would he have as a female, Sean wondered. There was college in the immediate future of course but what then, could he really see himself wearing a white gown walking down the aisle to become a wife? What about children?
Slowly a smile began to form on his face as he mentally walked down the aisle in a beautiful white dress to see his husband to be waiting for him. He would take his place by his fiancee's side, his father would lift his veil and after a quick good-bye kiss present him to his fiancee - Carl! Yes he thought to himself, Mrs. Carl Martin, he could do that with no problem!
"I think that would be so nice Amanda!" He said hugging her tight. "But we'd have to talk to mom and dad since they might want to go back to the way things used to be."
Amanda agreed and together they went to talk things over with their parents. To their delight they found that their parents were secretly planning to switch themselves back again once Sean and Amanda were back in their original bodies. It seems that Laura was beginning what looked like a rapid move up the corporate ladder which was a trip Paul was not interested in making. Paul on the other hand was happy in his traditionally female job and found sex as a woman far more enjoyable than he had as a man.
So it happened that on what was to have been their last night in their switched bodies the family gathered around a table on which a small book sat. One by one they repeated the spell complete with the original mistake but this time they added a short phrase which had been overlooked the first time. The phrase made one small difference in the spell - it made it last forever!
One year later Amanda and Jean were married with a smiling Sean acting as a bridesmaid. That proved to be the happiest day of his life since later that evening during their goodnight kiss Carl slipped an engagement ring onto his delicate finger and proposed to him! Sean tearfully accepted and the happy couple exchanged a passionate kiss.
Years later as they lay together in bed on their honeymoon Sean thought back to his dad's words about what a wonderful experience being a woman could be then set out to arouse his new husband for the fourth time that night!
