The distressing pain in my abdomen had subsided to an intermittent dull ache as I tried to fall asleep. I was sharing Regina’s queen size bed now. In my universe, mom had switched out my original twin-size bed for a queen because Mr. Tubbs, my Brittany spaniel mix dog, refused to sleep anywhere but next to me. More about the absent Mr. Tubbs later. It’s a li...

“Well, you sure sold out easy. What Mom did to you was unforgivable.”

Mom had just dropped us off at school for our first cheer practice. And I fully admit that I’m scared to death. I’ve never done anything like this before. I hated having to give presentations at BioSynthIndustrialMedical about my nanite progress.

I shrugged. “I had to, Cathy. Yeah, what she did was terrible and thank you foiling her plan.” I waved at Chad across the ...

“You’re twins?” George’s mouth was agape.

“Twin sisters, actually,” Regina proudly declared, pushing me forward and gesturing for me to remove the hood from my head. I did what she asked and shook my hair out as Winnie stared at me.

“You told me your twin was adopted when you were—

“Two weeks old. Yeah, well, she’s visiting�...

“You never did try on any of the dresses I put out for you,” Joanna accused as she worked on covering up my shiner, indicating the pile of clothes still spread across the bed behind us.

I sighed. “I duwanna.” I could see them in the mirror, a threatening assembly of girliness.

That got a snort from her. “You wore a skirt last night,” she pointed out. “In fact, you were wearing a dress when you g...

I wiped my dripping nose and turned to face Regina’s angry expression as she stood looming above the sofa bed. I didn’t know how to answer her accusatory question. Tense seconds passed between us, punctuated by a whimper from me.

Abruptly, she sank to her knees and her eyes beseeched me.

“Are you really my twin sister? How could you not be? We lo...

I looked curiously at Cathy. What an odd question. Mom hasn’t done anything to me. “What are you talking about?” I asked. “It’s your turn. Are you going to play?”

Cathy shrugged “You seem different somehow. Your natural snark is missing.” She looked down at the cards she was holding. “Do you have any threes?”

I frowned as I pulled my threes cards from my hand and tossed them to the table. “I just knew you were going to ask th...

“With everything your mother and I have done to help you with transitioning. The… the doctors, the therapist, getting you started on hormones, and all the legal rigmarole…the school administration thought we were all insane! I wanted to throttle that Bible-thumping bitch on the board.

"Give me a dollar," said the blonde woman to the frightened girl.

"What for? And I don't have a dollar!"

The big silver coin spun in a sunbeam from the window of the dusty hotel room. The girl caught it, bewildered.

"I'll lend you the dollar. A gunfighter never works for free, but you need a bodyguard," said the woman.

It was cloyingly hot and humid in the Rossington High School gym as I stood to the side of the basket at the east end. The school year had just ended two days before, and summer workouts were already in progress for the school’s basketball team.

My best friend George Parker was the star point guard, and I was cheering him on as he ...

Mom kissed my cheek as I was about to slide out of the car. She said, “Have a good time at the picnic. Give me a call when you’re ready for me to come pick you up.”

“Thanks, Mom. Thanks for understanding,” I said.

Mom smiled at me and ruffled my hair. “You bet. Have a good time and make some friends. Don’t worry about th...

Lonnie stared at the policeman on his bicycle. “Excuse me?”

The cop smiled pleasantly, still standing astride his bike, blocking the crosswalk. “I said I’m going to have to give you a ticket.”

“For what?” Lonnie tried hard not to squeak.

“For being too pretty,” the cop explained, whipping out his ticket book.

Lonnie’s friends, bravely standing behind him on the sidewalk, all laughed.

“But I’m a boy!” Lonnie protested, definitely squeakin...

Part 10

Feeling miserable, I sat in the waiting room of the Hereford Sherriff’s office. I wasn’t alone. There were two other girls with me, sniffling and crying. They’d been picked up like me in a stupid sweep by the sheriff’s department. A county judge had ruled that it really wasn’t illegal to be underage and just drive into the county. When they had sprung their trap, nobody was doing anything illegal.

But they still held us and tried to find any c...

Pete's Vagina 44.2 - Tiebreaker

I glared at the outfits Joanna had left on the bed for me to try on. Some of them, like the jeans I was wearing, were actually boy’s clothes — but somehow, they fit in a way that emphasized my shape.

How could I go back to being Pete when I looked so much like Gayle?

Joanna came in the door with another armful of clothes. “Topless,” she observed. “It’s daring, but I think your days of playing skins are over.”

“Ha, ha,” I responded. “Everything I try on ma...

Much better now!

I've been pretty sick  for about a week but there should be a new Pete up tomorrow.

Hugs,
Erin

I grunted as the front forks bottomed out. The saddle bounced up to hit my ass as I blasted over the rough track. Standing on the foot pegs and using my legs as shock absorbers kept my teeth from rattling. My sole focus was on the bike directly in front of me. I was sure I was currently in second place and the pink and white bike in front of me wa...

I was trying to enjoy watching some music clips from The Sound of Music (yes, I still enjoy show tunes) when I felt someone lightly slap my arm. I turned around, and it was Cathy, of course. I paused the video and removed my headphones.

Before I could ask her what she wanted, Cathy frowned at me and said, “Why are you watching that crap? I want to hear about last night.” She commandeered the mouse and closed YouTube.

“I was watching ...

Sixteen the Hard Way -22.2- Carousel

I insisted that I had not been flirting, and Dad pretended to believe me, so we could drop it as a point of discussion.

Except between Donna and I. The treats we had bought didn’t last that long and when they were gone, she said something that set me off.

“Daddy made those guys you got to follow us skedaddle, huh?” she commented.

“You rat,” I accused her. “You were trying to get me in trouble.”

She seemed unconcerned. “I think you were the one trying to...

Pete's Vagina -44- Draw

I woke up alone in the big bed, still naked under the covers. The air had some of that mid-October nip; there must have been a window open somewhere. I called out, “Megan?” but no one answered.

My voice sounded thin and high. I got out of bed and pulled on just the PJ bottoms I found on the floor. A door led to a bathroom, and I did my business.

I established that I still had a tampon inside me, and from what the other girls told me, it was time to change it. The cabinet above...

The neighbor across the street waved to me as she was getting into her car. “Hey Randi. You’re looking very lovely this morning.” I thought for sure she knew I wasn’t a girl. You don’t tell boys they’re looking lovely.

I waved back and said, “Thank you.” The make-up and outfit I’m wearing would be confusing to folks I gues...

New evidence and new events connected to their Spring Break adventure keep turning up. Soon, they find themselves involved in something much bigger - and far more sinister - than museum thefts. Then it turns personal for one of the four.

Change in Me -3- Trading Deadline

I considered whether you wanted someone sure of their skill or someone who was kind of iffy to do your sex change?

I hadn’t really had much choice, though. But having had Jane Alexander — pardon me — Dr. Jane Alexander do the surgery pretty much answered a question I hadn’t asked. It had been a sex change operation. They hadn’t stopped with just removing affected tissue but had gone ahead and constructed a vagina for me.

“I guess this makes me a lesbian,” I said. “...

I took a deep breath and stepped out of my room. I looked up and smiled slightly at Chad. My eyes went from the floor up to Chad’s face. Not sure when my tastes changed, but he really is a gorgeous boy.

Chad stood as I stepped into the living room. He grinned and said, “Hey, Amanda. You’re very pretty today.”

I smiled and said, “Thank you. So are you.”

Chad chuckled and grinned at me.

Feeling my face turn red, I said, “Oh!...

Joanna started chasing everyone out, telling them, “I want to lock all the doors and bar the windows against Bev coming back with her little friends.” The cops put in an appearance, but Mr. Linklater, being a mover and shaker in the community, they were willing to take Joanna’s recommendation that she come down on Monday and make a statement.

When the cops had gone, everyone else said goodbyes and left, too. The party had ended, and with some surprise, we noticed that it was nearl...

I got my phone. Wasn’t quite the one I wanted, but it has most of the features I thought I needed and I can actually make phone calls on it. Cathy assured me this is the more trendy phone that all the girls at school were getting. Heaven forbid going against the grain. The case is a pretty, metallic pink. Well, it’ll get me started. Hopefully I’ll be able to upgrade later when Cathy’s not around.

And then we went purse shopping. Oh. my. God. I ha...
