"You sure the smoke alarm is working?" I asked Taran, cheekily, referring to a time when a forgotten casserole had almost burned the house down.

She closed the cooker door and then turned to look at me before poking her tongue out and then giving me the finger.

"Very funny, smart-ass," she said," just wait till it's your turn to cook"

"It was a bit stuffy in there, so I thought I'd wait outside for you," he explained, "do you fancy some lunch?"

I felt my heart miss a beat at his question. Momentarily I was at a loss for words.

"Don't worry if you've got other plans," he said hurriedly, misinterpreting my delay in responding as a rejection.

I touched his arm, looked him directly in the eye and smiled, "I'd love to, Dewi."

"In case you haven't noticed, for some reason hard to ascertain, I no longer have any clothes that fit me," I said indicating the oversize coverall, of my former male self, I was wearing.

They both looked at me for a few seconds.

"Mm, this is a bit tricky, " said Yuki, " you are a bit bigger than both of us especially in the boob department.............

"....so how stacked is she then?" asked Fred Hollis, making my skin crawl with his lascivious tone.

"See for your youself," replied Bella, indicating to me to sit down next to her, " here she is"

I felt a shiver of fear as I looked from one slovenly youth to another, wondering what they had in mind for their entertainment.

Brian stepped towards me, " so what's your name, bitch?"

I didn't reply.

"Enough! You have wasted time already with your stupidity, away before I shoot you, go and order the remainder of the troop to be ready to move at once!" shouted Lord Vorace.

Genevieve smiled, with her lips, at Lord Vorace, " it seems, your lordship, that your visit is unfortunately curtailed?"

"What?" I asked, wondering what could be worse than summer dresses.

"Some padded bikinis," my Mother answered, smiling.

"Oh no!," I exclaimed, stunned by the unexpected development, " why do I have to wear a padded bikini?"

"Please Malcolm, I want you so much, will you come and pleasure me later," she asked, smiling at her lover.

"Of course, my sweet lady, how can I refuse such a request," responded Malcolm.

"Do you think it deserves a celebratory kiss," I whispered.

"Why not, I don't see any referees around to book us," he whispered back.

Oliver, wearing just his breeches and shirt, walked quietly into her bedchamber.

"Good evening, my dear," he said in a gentle voice.

"I am ready Oliver," she responded.

"Yes, I think so, what is it?" he asked.

"You'll see," replied Sioned mysteriously.

"Well, sorry to be nosey," said Dionne very hesitantly," and I didn't really remember everything from the assembly, but do you still have a ...you know what, a thingie.....?"

"A thingie?" I asked.

"Yes you know," she said looking suggestively at the top of my legs.

"Not having a shower, Celyn?" asked Erica, in a challenging way.

"No," I replied," I usually shower before going to bed"

"Each to her own....by the way, what did you say the school was that you go to?" she asked very slyly.

"Yes, it amazes me too George," I responded," and thanks for what I guess is a compliment"

"Are you sure that you'll be able to go back to being completely a man..you know, afterwards?" he asked after a pause.

"Yes, I'm pretty certain, George, don't worry, anyway remember I still am a man under all this," I commented.

"Wait Seren, I think it would be a good idea if you told Mrs Williams and Mr Jones, what happened to you and WHY it happened" I said to him.

Seren hesitated and looked at Mrs Williams for direction.

"Please Mrs Williams," I continued," the assault on Seren was due to the same prejudice and intolerance shown by Mr Franklin towards me. Can he explain what happened to him?"

"What?"

"I love you," I said as I gave him a last kiss and then pushed him out into the corridor.

"I love you too, Enfys," he responded....

"Dunno, you're pregnant or something?"

"It was almost worth getting beaten up," he replied enigmatically.

"What do you mean?" I asked, surprised by his comment.

"I've never worn girls' clothes before," he explained, "it feels so right"

I smiled back at him, looking sweet and pretty in Sioned's white, frilly blouse and black skirt.

"I can't leave you to them, Enfys," He said as he took me in his arms.

"You have to, Hywel, there's no point them getting both of us" I responded.

I looked up, our eyes met and my lips found his, we kissed, a desperate embrace..
