Phone Fun
By Ellie Dauber (c) 2019

Andy smiled and hit redial.

The display on his phone showed the number being dialed; 5-5-5-3-8-0-7. It was a number he'd picked at random.

"Hello," a voice came over the speaker. It was the same woman's voice, though he couldn't tell her age.

He tried a southern accent this time. "Hello, ma'am. Is Jerry there?"

"There's no Jerry here." She was beginning to get annoyed. Well, why not. This was the fifth time he'd called in less than ten minutes.

Andy leaned back in his chair and took a swig of beer. He loved playing this game with people. He wasn't as good at it as his idol, Bart Simpson, but then, Bart had better writers, and nobody was as dumb as Moe, the bartender. All in all, it was a great way to kill a Saturday night. Or, at least, as good a way as he was able to find.

Andy had moved to Uniontown about six months before. He was a shy twenty-year old, who hadn't made more than a couple of very casual acquaintances in that time. He was thin, with shaggy brown hair and very few social skills of any sort. He made up for it by playing silly jokes like this. It was just before April Fools Day, and he couldn't resist

He took another swig. Long enough; it was time for the last set up call. He hit re-dial again.

"Hello." She was definitely getting mad. "Is this another call for Jerry?"

"Yes'm," Andy said. His voice was higher this time, so he sounded younger. "C-can I talk to him?"

"This has gotten tiresome, young man. I would advise you not to call back." The phone slammed down at the other end of the line.

Andy clapped his hands together. Oh, boy, was she ready. He knew that she was on to him, that she realized that it was a practical joke. He was still going to make the final call and to finish her off. If he didn't, if he didn't call back, then she'd have won. He couldn't have that.

He finished the beer and crushed the can. He had a small recorder hooked into the phone. He turned it on as he hit redial one more time. Her reaction was going to be epic, and he wanted to get it on a disc.

"Very well," the voice said. It sounded incredibly calm. "Go ahead; you've made your choice."

"Hi, this is Jerry," he paused to let the name sink in. "Were there any calls for me."

"There were a great many calls, as you well know. And since you insist that you are who you say you are..." There was an odd edge to the voice. Maybe she had a phone tracer. Andy panicked and tried to end the call.

But he couldn't. He couldn't do anything. His body wouldn't move. He was frozen in place, his finger hanging a few inches above his phone.

"If you want to be Jerry, then Jerry you shall be. But not the Jerry you would want to be. No, not at all who you would want to be."

Andy's body began to tingle. He could see his right arm, the one that had been holding his phone. It seemed thinner now, and the hair on it was growing lighter, thinner; it was fading away. His fingers looked slender and more graceful, and now there was a layer of pink polish on his nails.

His scalp itched. He felt his hair getting longer. It grew over his ears and down to tickle the back of his neck. His face twitched. Something was happening to it, something that he didn't think he'd like. He nervously ran his tongue over his lips and felt a waxy sweetness. Lipstick? It couldn't be. He felt something, a stretching in his chest. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something push his shirt outward into his line of sight. He felt the fabric pushing against him, and there was some kind of weight in his chest.

His slacks grew tight as he felt his hips swell outward. The fabric was cool against his softer, hairless legs. It was a pleasant feeling until... until some force seemed to grasp his penis and balls. It pulled and twisted them, even as it was caressing them. Then, it just pushed, pushed them into his body. He shuddered, and his eyes grew wide at the flood of sensations that ran through his body.

The voice came over the phone again. "Enjoy your new life, Geri. You'll be too busy now to be bothering me ever again." There was a click and then the dial tone.

But as Andy... Yes, Andy watched, the phone changed color, shifting from a jazzy purple to eggshell white. Then his improvised living room table, a board over two milk crates, turned into a real coffee table with a cherry wood finish. Andy could move again. He stood up and looked around.

He was still in the same apartment, but now it was entirely different. There were framed art posters on the walls where the magazine centerfolds had been. The used furniture, a table and three chairs near the kitchen and the couch he'd been sitting on, were in better repair. They all had the same finish as the coffee table. There was a vase with fresh flowers on the table and several pastel red throw pillows on the couch. Two chairs that Andy had never seen before were at the ends of the couch, and there were recent issues of Cosmo and Metropolitan Life on the coffee table.

"What the hell did she do to me?" Andy wondered.

He looked down. His "Naked Volleyball" T-shirt was now a blue cotton top that clung to his curves, his new busty curves. He was at least a 36-C. "Can't be real," he said, touching them, but they were. His fingers kneaded the new flesh. It felt good, real, real, good, and he hated to stop.

But he had to. Expecting the worse, he lowered one hand to his crotch, his flat crotch. There was no bulge. He slid his hand into his very tight jeans. His cotton boxers were now soft and satiny to the touch. His prick and balls were gone, but he found a very sensitive slit, where they had been. He slid a finger in and moaned at the feeling.

"Shit, no!" He pulled it out quickly, very quickly. This was crazy. He was a guy, damn it.

The phone rang, startling him. He pressed the speaker button. "He... hello?"

"Is Geri there?" It was her again "You might as well speak up. I know you're there."

"No, bitch. This is Andy. What the hell did you do to me?"

"Could you say that again, please?" She said it so calmly, that Andy shuddered. He felt a moment of dizziness, as the room seemed to spin around him. Then…

"I said this is... this is... Geri." She shook her head. That didn't sound right, but it was her name. It had always been her name; hadn't it? "What... what did you want?"

"Why, Geri, I just wanted to say 'April Fools!' before Ron got there."

"'April Fools'... 'Ron'? I'm afraid that I don't understand."

"No, but you'll be all the better for it."

The doorbell rang, startling Geri. She didn't have a doorbell.

"Ah," said the voice. "He's here. I'd best go. Try to make something of this life." Another click, and the dial tine came back.

"What the?' Geri said. The doorbell rang again.

She hurried over and opened the door. "Yes?" A tall man about her age stood just outside. He had curly, light brown hair, big brown eyes, and... and the cutest grin.

"Yes?" the man said. "Well, that's hardly the sort of greeting I was expecting.”

Geri blushed and looked down. "And what sort of a greeting were you expecting... Ron?" She knew, all at once that it was his name, that they had met about a month before, and that they were dating, dating… seriously.

The man stepped inside. He closed the door behind him and took her in his arms. Geri felt warm and happy. "When a man comes to pick up his girl to take her out for dinner, he expects something a bit more like this." He pulled her close and kissed her. Geri was startled, but she returned the kiss. Her arms went up around his neck. She felt her breasts tingling as they were crushed against his chest. Down in her crotch, there was a warmth and an emptiness.

After a few minutes, they stopped for a breath. The man suddenly looked around your apartment. "Say, is your refrigerator running?"

"Why?" she asked breathlessly. She kept her arms around his neck, hoping for another kiss.

"Because we'd better catch it then, before we go out for that dinner."

Alternate Ending

This ending was suggested by Steve Zink. Thanks for the idea, Steve.

* * * * *

The phone rang, startling him. He pressed the speaker button. "He-hello?"

"Is Geri there?" It was her again "You might as well speak up. I know you're there."

"No, bitch. This is Andy. What the hell did you do to me?"

"Could you say that again, please?" She said it so calmly, that Andy shuddered. He felt a moment of dizziness, as the room seemed to spin around him. Then…

"I said this is... Hi, this is... Geri." She shook her head. That didn't sound right, but it was her name. It had always been her name. Her voice, it was sounded softer, now than she remembered it being before. What was going on?

"Hi, Geri. I'm... umm, Joe." The voice was male. She didn't recognize it, but it sounded... compelling.

"Hi, Joe. That's a nice name." What was she saying? "You've got a sexy voice. It's really turning me on."

"Really? Gee, nobody ever said that to me before."

"Well, I'm saying it. It makes me feel all warm and tingly."

"Y-yeah? Tell me more. Tell me... tell me what are you wearing."

"Oooh, you naughty boy; do I really have to tell you that?" Andy... Geri was disgusted. And scared. She kept trying to stop talking, but she couldn't seem to control her voice any more.

"You do." Whoever this Joe was, he was getting turned on. She could hear it in his voice.

"Okay. I'm wearing my favorite purple teddy. It's my favorite because it's got a built in bra that makes my breasts look even bigger, and it's cut so low that my nipple kind of, well, pop out some times when I get excited." She said the last word in a very seductive tone.

"Like now?"

"Yes, I..." Geri looked down. Her clothes, the blue top and the tight jeans were gone. She was wearing a very low cut teddy, purple, just as she had told him.

"Is something the matter?" He sounded concerned, anxious that she was still there on the phone.

"No, I... my titties just looked so inviting that I wanted to play with them." Oh, Lord, what was he saying? "Should I play with them, Joe? Should I play with them for you?"

"Yeah, yeah, play with them... and talk like it was me there playing with them."

"That sounds real good." Geri's voice was low and breathy now. "I'm lying back here on my bed, and you, you're here with me. Your hands, oooh, they're so big. I like a man with big hands. It means he's got a big dick. Do you have a big dick, Joe, honey?"

The room seemed to shift. She was in a bedroom, a woman's bedroom with lacy curtains and a dressing table covered with cosmetics and a bed, a woman's bed with a white ruffled bedspread that she was lying on.

"Yeah, and it's getting bigger all the time I'm listening to you, Geri."

"Goodie. Well, right now, you've got those big hands on my titties. You're squeezing them and playing with them in a way that's -- oooh -- that's sending shivers all through my body.” Oh, Lord, she felt those shivers running through her. “You're making me hot, Joe, hot and wet, and I --"

"I'm just cutting in here for a minute, Geri." It was her. "Don't worry about Joe. This is all happening in a fraction of a second. He won't even miss you."

"What the hell did you do to me?"

"I gave you what you wanted. You enjoyed playing with people's minds over the telephone, so I adjusted reality, and now you do it for a living. You can't help yourself. My magic will make you respond as the perfect phone sex girl. Only, what you tell them won't be a lie. You'll transform into whatever you tell them you look like, do to yourself whatever you say you're doing. Feel whatever you say you feel," She laughed. "You should be very, very popular." There was a click, and just a moment of dial tone. Then…

"I'm making you hot, am I?" Joe was back.

"Ooh, you sure are, honey. I want you, I want you inside me so much."

Geri kept talking, indulging Joe in what was now becoming a rape fantasy. And as she twisted and moaned in a genuine sexual frenzy, tears ran down her cheeks, she realized that this was the only kind of call she would be getting – or making -- for a long, long time.

Andy thought he was just having a little harmless fun on the telephone, but he made the mistake of dialing the wrong number, a number whose main exchange was in... the Twilight Zone.

which ending?

Snarfles's picture

IMO, ending 2 is the better choice, sorry if that impinges on the creativeness of the author.

The reasons are:
In the first ending Andy simply ceases to be, Geri becomes the new reality, so we wind up with a paradox...Andy never was.... no life lessons, no regrets, just 'poof'.
In the second ending Andy is still fully aware of his past, of the transgressions that brought him to this point; and the consequences. Were I the victim of Andy's pranking? this is exactly what I would consider justice.

I agree the second ending is

I agree the second ending is more of a punishment.
luckily for bart simpson the writers weren't clever enough to come up with either one of these endings for his phone pranks.

"Hello Safeway market... Do you carry Dad's Root Beer?"

"You do?? Well why can't Dad carry his own damn root beer?!!"
*CLICK!*
was about the worst I ever did. I thought that was hilarious but hey, I was 12...

Kinda sad that the adult Andy still found this a fun thing to do, a jerk + not even original in his phone gags; But her punishment in the 2nd version would be way disproportionate, an irresponsible use of magical powers that far exceeded anything Andy ever did. So even though the second is funnier I prefer the first because it actually fixes the problem of Andy's empty life and his only being able to find satisfaction in annoying people instead of consigning her to a hell of compulsion and conflictedness for the the rest of her life. The first might be a form of identity death, but she's not really losing much. For the second, I think six months or a year of that and then releasing the transformed Geri from that part of the spell and allowing her to find her own way in life wouldve been punishment enough...

(Speaking of The Simpsons and phone gags: Ten or so years ago when I still had a phone I got a call at 3 a.m. from a real life "Andy", who said "Hi there, this is Peter Griffin-" in a not too terrible imitation of the character from Family Guy. As if addressing my sleeping wife I droned in a Homer Simpson voice: "Maaarge, do we know a Peter Griffin?" then clamped my hand over the mouthpiece and screeched a/la Marge: "It's a prank call, Homie! Go back to sleep!" *CLICK!*)

Which ending?

The first ending changed an immature adult male into a mature adult female with all the trimming, so although it didn't "Punish" the jerk it had a more believable ending.

Making him female and a phone sex operator is poetic justice, but the magically changing clothing and locations to go with whatever was being spoken on the phone broke the suspension of belief.

Had the extra magic of changing clothing and location not occurred I would agree and say I liked the 2nd ending, as it stands I have to go with the 1st ending since the 2nd became too unbelievable.

We the willing, led by the unsure. Have been doing so much with so little for so long,
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
