 “That’s a very pretty dress. You look great!”

“Thank you, Diane,” said Mom as she turned this way and that in front of her full-length mirror. I’m trying to be positive. Zach and Corey both have jumped on my case about making Mom sad. It still chaps my butt about her going on a date with a man who’s not me, but then...

“Excuse me, but it seems like you just said you have a date.”

Mom grinned. “That’s right, and I’m excited.”

“But you can’t!” I exclaimed.

Mom folded her ...

We climbed a ridge, following the late afternoon sun as it led us to the west. Before us was what Amos calculated to be another full three-day ride to reach the outer walls of the Western Kingdom, where I was to marry Prince Kelvin. Our wedding would petition the Gods to spare us from T...

As usual, I watched Zach peel out from the curb in the school parking lot after dropping Corey and me off. I shook my head as he nearly hit a parked car. If I was still his dad, I’d definitely take his license away – again. But now I’m just his little sister whose opinions matter ...

Pete’s Vagina

Chapter 54

by Erin Halfelven

As soon as we got out of there, before we reached  Lee’s van, I punched him in the upper arm. Maybe a bit harder than I had intended.

He staggered in a half circle. “Ow,” he said, rubbing the spot.

“Don’t ever spring a surprise like that on me again!“ I said, trying to be stern. The expression on Lee’s face made that hard. He looked startled and a bit guilty, like when I cau...

“Mom! I’m going to be late!”

“Relax, Zach,” shouted Mom. “We have an hour. Corey! Get off the phone with your girlfriend and get dressed. We have to go.”

“Okay, Mom!” shouted Corey. “Karen, I have to go. My stupid brother is graduating tonight.” Girlfriend? Wow. That escalated...

Fantastic Mars -15-

Art touched something on the remote and we had full sound, not just the muted pops and puffs of the nearly silent gunfire. The voices of my friends seemed close and immediate, and I shivered a bit in my hospital gown.

Trike charged after the retreating monsters, screaming curses in his grandfather’s Scots dialect. Seejay took up his rifle. Dolly found a spear her size and stood ready. Hote put his pistols back in their holsters and knelt over a dead greenie. Seejay slumped, low...

“I’d love to wipe that smug smile off his impudent face!” Amos said loud enough for Malcolm to hear as he paced the rocky edge of the gorge we were hiding in. The gorge was nestled between two low-slung hills Langston’s people had escorted us to after we were warned of the impending arrival of Senshi’s band of highwaymen. We were waiting for word that Senshi and her men had departed, convinced by Langston that we had never made an ap...

The restroom adventure was the highlight of the morning. I couldn’t figure out if I was the victim of selective targeting and it was just my turn or the galactic wheel had rotated alignment to conspire against me. I was hit on four times before the lunch bell. All by boys I didn’t know. They somehow knew about me.

“That’s so not fair!” I grumbled at the fact that Zach doesn’t have to go the last week of school because he’s a senior. He will have to get up before too long to attend the practice for the graduation ceremony later tonight.

“Are you dressed yet?” growled Mom from her room. “You guys are g...

“Oh, my Lady, Princess! You’re a boy!” Daisy, my novice lady-in-waiting, exclaimed as Merlyn and Luna helped me undress and lead me into the burbling stream, naked as the day I came into the world.

“Keep your voice down, Daisy,” rebuked Merlyn as she and Luna stood in such a way as to block most viewing angles from b...

Gene grinned at me as he waited expectantly for my reply. From the moment I rang the doorbell, I was worried that he’d take the opportunity to ask me out on a date. If I’d been a girl all my life, I might have been excited that he asked. Right now, not so much.

I looked down at my feet and felt my cheeks redden. I looked back up at him and said, “Thanks for the invitation but two things. I’m very flattered you asked me. But I’ll be honest....

Pete's Vagina -53.2- Snap

Lee and I pretended not to have heard Coach’s question, made easier by Mrs. Frick answering one I hadn’t had time to ask yet.

“It’s like the end of some detective show, isn’t it?” She laughed. “A bunch of people get together in a room and explain the plot to each other.”

“Oh, good,” I said. “Colonel Mustard in the Library with a Candlestick.”

Everyone laughed at that — even Yoodle, who came out from under the couch to push his way in between Lee’s...

The door opened, revealing a very pretty girl whom I assume was around eighteen; about the same age as Zach. I’m sure it was Gene’s sister. Like Zach, she was graduating from high school. The city’s rival school was having their ceremonies tonight on Saturday. Zach’s school will have theirs on Monday.

Gene’s sister was wearing a black miniskirt and a white tank top. Her long, dark brown...

I turned in the blink of an eye and thrust my dagger toward Malcolm’s abdomen. But he surprised me with his lightning response. He blocked my thrust and, in the same motion, knocked the dagger out of my hand. It fell to the ground, a useless blade of meteoric iron with a pretty, bejeweled hilt. I tried to pick it up off the ground to try again, but my hand hurt too much, and he had already grabbed me by the waist, pulling me to him. I wasn�...

“Isn’t this just darling?”

“Yeah, I guess,” I said with a shrug. Mom and I were in her favorite dress store trying to find me a dress to wear to my dinner with Gene’s parents. Sounds like a book title.

Mom frowned at me. “When does your brain finally turn into a girl?”

I sighed. “It’s totes adorbs. How’s that? I’m s...

I climbed into the back seat of Zach’s car, since Corey called shotgun, and took a deep breath. I wouldn’t tell Mom about Zach’s driving if he promised to not run stop signs anymore. As Zach backed out of the driveway, I looked Corey directly into his eyes.

“Corey, how about a deal?” I asked, leaning forward a bit

Corey looked at...

Under cover of darkness, while Senshi’s squad luxuriated in the oblivion of inebriation, Malcolm led us some 200 kilometers away. In what direction, only he knew. For my part, I was just glad to escape the clutches of that evil woman.

By the time the sun rose in the sk...

We were ten feet or so from the doors when they suddenly opened. Lee’s Mom, Ariana Frick, stood there smiling at us, wearing the sort of power suit you see women politicians in.

“There she is!” she said, beaming at me. A furry little torpedo broke from somewhere inside, squeezed past Mrs. Frick and ran out to fall, squirming with excitement directly amidst the three of us.

“Yoodle!” Lee and his mom both exclaimed.

The Benji-shaped dog wriggled ...

“Go clean your room and then help me with dinner.”

“My room’s clean enough,” I whined. “We’re just doing math.”

Mom frowned at me. “I checked your room when we got home. I saw one of your panties on the floor, and your bed wasn’t made. And that was just from a thirty-second inspection.”

I reached for the dagger I had secreted in the folds of my riding outfit as I rushed toward Amos, knocked down to the ground and surrounded by half a dozen angry, club-wielding men. Merlyn tried to restrain me, but I broke free. I was perhaps 20 meters away when a whirring sound sliced through the dawn air. It was a spear, propelled in a perfect spiral.

It struck the man whose club was poised above Amos’ head for the killi...

Karen walked out of the cafeteria with me as I headed for my next class. “Wow. You haven’t even been at this school a whole day, and you already score a date with the biggest hunk.”

I shook my head. “Oh, stop. That’s hardly a date. We’re going to be discussing Algebra. Hardly a hot date topic.”...
