Paris again, but on Halloween. What kind of costumes will they come up with? Will Ariane be told about Jaimie? Is there more to this then meets the eye?
Salt & Pepper, Sugar & Spice
Chapter 11
Back in France.
Ronnie had said, “Honey, what would you say if I told Ariane about Jaimie?”
And, Jason had said, “You didn’t! Did you?”
“Not really. But, we were talking the other day. And, the conversation drifted to people with an alternate life style. And, . . . ”
“And, what?”
“Ariane told me that one of our friends from school, Marie, was a lesbian. We talked about how we felt about people with a different life style. And, I mentioned that we had a friend that was a guy that lived full time as a girl, and that we didn’t have a problem with her. And, that we really look at her as a girl.”
“Linda?”
“Yes. And, Ariane was very curious, and asked a lot of questions. She was very curious about guys dressing in girls clothes.”
“So, she doesn’t know about Jaimie?”
“No. But, from our conversation, I don’t think she’d have a problem with her.”
“Lets not.”
“Why? She’s a good friend, and really likes you. And, it might be fun for Jaimie to have friends in France.”
“I know she’s a good friend. But, if we tell her, she’ll tell Henri, and who knows how he’ll take it.”
“I think he’d be all right with Jaimie.”
“Why?”
“Marie is Henri’s cousin. And, from what Ariane told me, he’s about the only one in the family, other then her mother, that supports her.”
“Well . . . Lets not push it. Being a crossdresser is different then being a lesbian.”
“It’s your call lover. But, I think it would be fun going out with them.”
“Three girls and a guy?”
“Sure. A guy would be crazy not wanting to be seen with three pretty girls.”
“Even if one of those girls was a guy?”
One evening when Jason came home from work, Ronnie met him at the door with a big kiss. And, then she said, “Go in the bedroom.”
“Why?”, he asked.
“Just go. You’ll see.”
He noticed the twinkle in her eyes, the sly smile on her face, and figured she was up to no good. He headed for the bedroom, with Ronnie right on his heels. As he walked into the bedroom, he saw some of Jaimie’s clothes laid out on the bed. He turned, looked at Ronnie, and she said, “Hi Jaimie.”
“Really?”
“We won’t be having company tonight.”
“Really! No surprise visits?”
“I told Ariane that we need some time alone. And, she understood. Besides Henri is home.”
Later as Ronnie and Jaimie sat down to supper, Ronnie said, “It’s really nice to have Jaimie here.”
“It’s nice to be here, and not worry about interruptions. Are we going to be able to do this on a regular basis?”
“Yes. It was Ariane that actually said that she was becoming too much of a pest.”
“Not a pest. Just someone that enjoys your company too much.”
“Our company. But, “, with a grin Ronnie said, “I enjoy Jaimie’s company more.”
That evening saw the rekindling of the love making sessions that use to accompany Jaimie’s visits.
One evening in early October, the four, Ronnie, Jason, Ariane, and Henri, were out on the town, and Ronnie had picked up an entertainment newspaper. As they were sitting at a sidewalk cafe enjoying a drink, Ronnie was glancing through the paper, she spent a long time looking at one page, and got a little smile on her face.
Later that evening, as Ronnie and Jason were getting ready for bed, Jason asked, “What did you see in that paper that brought a smile to your face?”
“Why?”
“It was that smile that you get when your planning something.”
“So?”
“So, what are you up too?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing? I know better. Tell?”
“It’s nothing.”
Jason gave her a look of, I know better and you’d better tell me, as he grabbed her, tossed her on the bed, and started tickling her.
She pleaded, “Stop. Stop. Please stop.”
“Only after you tell me.”, Jason replied.
“No. Stop. It’s nothing.”
“Wrong love. There’s an idea in that devious mind of yours.”
“No, nothing. Please stop.”
“Tell me.”
“Ok. Ok. But, please stop.”
Jason stopped tickling her, gave her a chance to catch her breath, and said, “Start talking, or I start tickling again.”
“Ok. Ok. I want Ariane to meet Jaimie.”
“No.”
“Please.”
“Why?”
“I think they’d like each other.”
“And, if they don’t?”
“They will.”
“Are you’re sure she’ll understand?”
“Yes.”
“How do you propose to introduce them?”
“At Halloween.”
“Halloween?”
“In Paris.”
“In Paris!?”
“There was a full page ad for a package deal in Paris on Halloween. Three days, and two nights. And, I thought that maybe the four of us could go.”
“And, I’d do Halloween as Jaimie?”
“I’m not sure. But, I know that people tend to do Halloween more in scary costumes. Like mummies, ghosts, goblins, witches, and vampires, instead of the cute costumes like princesses, super heroes, and cartoon character. Maybe Jaimie, but as some other female form.”
“So. Not Jaimie, but something dark.”
“Maybe. But, we’d have to work on something.”
“I’ll think about it. But, right now I want you.”
The following morning at breakfast, Jason smiled at Ronnie, and said, “I’m game.”
“Game for what?”
“The Paris thing.”
“Really!?”
“Yes. As long as you’re sure about Ariane and Henri. So, what am I going as?”
“I’m sure. But, as to what you’re going to be . . . I don’t know yet. But, first I’ll check with Ariane, and be sure they want to go. Then I’ll start working on costumes.”
“Is she going to know ahead of time what we’re wearing?”
“No. I want to keep it, and Jaimie, a secret.”
“So, she won’t know I’m going to be a female something until she sees me?”
“Exactly love.”
Later that day Ronnie and Ariane talked about the Paris trip. And, Ariane was excited about it, thought it sounded like fun, and was all for it. And, wanted to go look at costumes with Ronnie. But, Ronnie told her that it would be more fun to surprise each other in Paris. And, Ariane finally agreed with her.
Ronnie started looking for costumes, she was a woman on a mission. It took a lot of searching. But, one day, in a small costume shop, she found just what she was looking for. That evening she told Jason, “I found you a great costume.”
“What?”
“It’s a secret, even from you, until we get to Paris.”
“Come on.”
“No. It’ll be more fun that way.”
“Well, what are you going to be?”
She just smiled at him. And, he said, “I know, it’s a secret.”
“But,”, she said, “there is something that you need to get use to wearing before we go. So, you can have that part of the costume.”
“Now I am worried.”
“No. I just don’t want you breaking your neck.”
“Break my neck?”
“Don’t go away. I’ll be right back.”
Jason just shook his head, as he watched Ronnie almost run out of the room. She was back in a matter of seconds with a box. She opened the box, and pulled out a pair of black, lace-up, knee high boots, with a two-inch platform sole, and five inch heels.
Jason looked at the boots, and said, “I will break my neck in those.”
“No lover. Not if you practice.”
“Besides, I’ll be six-three.”
“Yea. A really tall, sexy, . . . “
“A really tall, sexy, what?”
“Thought I’d slip, and tell you. Didn’t you?”
“I hoped you would.”
“No such luck lover. Lets try these on, and be sure I got the right size.”
Jason removed his shoes, socks, and pants. Sat on the couch, and Ronnie helped him put on the boots, and lace them up. Then she helped him stand up, and asked, “Well, do they fit?”
“I guess. They’re not tight. But, they’re too tall.”
“No, they’re just right. Just wear them as much as you can until we go to Paris, and you’ll be fine in them.”
“I hope so.”
Jason tried walking, and had some problems. To start with, getting use to the platform and heels was a little tricky. He felt like he was going to break an ankle. He had worn heels before, but nothing like this. He took small, baby, steps. And, as the evening progressed, he started to get use to them, at least he didn’t feel like he was going to break an ankle.
Over the following weeks Jason, and sometimes Jaimie, wore the boots as much as possible, and actually became very good at walking in them. But, Ronnie still wouldn’t tell him what he was going to be.
Early on All Hollows Eve day, Ronnie, Jason, Ariane, and Henri were checking into their hotel in Paris. They met for an early diner, then retired to their rooms to change into their costumes for the evening, after agreeing to meet at eight in the lobby.
Ronnie took one of the suit cases they had brought with them, placed it on the bed, and opened it. She carefully removed the costumes, and laid them out on the bed. Jason looked at them, and asked, “Which one is mine?”
Ronnie said, “Guess.”
“I have no idea, but from looking at them, I’m afraid that they are both too sexy.”
“You’re right. You sexy vampire.”
“So, I get to bite necks tonight.”, Jason said, with a grin.
“Only mine love.”
Jason’s costume was a black and red, floor length, dress, slit up the front to just below his crotch, with bell-shaped Victorian sleeves. A long cape, with a standup collar, also in black and red. A black velvet choker with a skull on it. His wig was a long straight one, which went well below his shoulders, and the color was a stark white. Ronnie did his makeup, starting with clown white makeup that she took down into his cleavage, so that any exposed skin was white. Then she used black for almost everything else, except his lipstick, and that was a very dark red. His nails were long, and blood red. And, her cleavage, was to say the least, hard to miss.
When Ronnie was done, Jason looked in the mirror, and said, “I scare me.”
“Too good?”
“Yea. The only thing missing is fangs.”
Ronnie grinned, handed Jason a box, and said, “Here.”
Jason opened it, and it contained two realistic looking fangs. Ronnie helped Jason put the fangs on, and when she was done they looked like they were real. They were long, appeared to be sharp, and had a built in reservoir of fake blood that Jaimie could break with his tongue. He looked in the mirror, smiled, and between the makeup, costume, and fangs, he looked just like a self respecting female vampire should.
Ronnie’s costume was almost as sexy as Jason’s. She was a Goth bride. Long black gown, black Goth gloves, black veil, a barbed wire arm bands, and pair of 3 inch platform, knee high, buckle boots. Her makeup was full Goth, clown white foundation, dark blue lipstick, and dark eye makeup. Her long black hair helped add to her look. And, somehow she had come up with a bouquet of dead flowers. She added one last touch, two marks on her neck that looked like puncture marks.
A little before eight, Ronnie said, “Why don’t you go down and sit in the lobby. Then when Ariane and Henri come down, see if they recognize you.”
“As Jason or Jaimie?”
“What do you think?”
“Do you really want them to meet Jaimie?”
“I don’t think there would be a problem. Anyhow, once they see you they’ll wonder why you look so good.”
“So, Jaimie?”
“I think.”
“I hope you’re right?”
“I think I am. And, don’t forget what we talked about.”
“They won’t freak out, will they?”
Jason took the elevator down to the lobby. And, when the doors opened, and he walked out, everyone stopped what they were doing, and just looked at him. He felt a little self conscious, but figured he would do the same thing if he saw a very tall, sexy, female vampire walk out of an elevator. He walked into the lobby, and there were a number of people in costume there. He looked around trying to spot Ariane and Henri, but didn’t see anyone that could be them.
Jaimie found a place to sit, and sat just like a sexy lady would. A young couple walked up to her, and the girl said, “What a great costume.”
Jaimie smiled, showing her fangs, and staying in character, said in a very sexy way, “Thank you my dear.”
The girl jumped a little, seeing the fangs, and said, “They look so real.”
Jaimie just smiled, and keeping in character said, “Oh they are my dear. This is my one night to come out, and be myself.”
Just then the elevator opened, and out walked Ariane and Henri. Henri was dressed as a mummy, and looked fairly good. Ariane was dressed for a prom except for all the blood on her gown, and all over her face, hair, and arms. And, she was carrying a butcher knife. They looked around, Jaimie guessed, trying to find her and Ronnie. They looked right at her, and didn’t show any sign of recognition. They then walked over to the far side of the lobby.
Five minutes later Ronnie walked out of the elevator, and Jaimie thought, ‘What a gorgeous bride she makes, even as a Goth bride.’ Jaimie watched as Ariane spotted Ronnie, and walked toward her, with Henri right behind her. She watched as they spoke for a few seconds, and she could tell that Ronnie was telling them that she was already in the lobby somewhere, as Ariane and Henri were looking around.
Jaimie got up, and slowly walked toward the trio. Ronnie and Ariane didn’t pay much attention to her, but Henri had trouble keeping his eyes off of her. Jaimie walked up behind Ronnie, grabbed her, turned her around, and pretended to bite her neck. Ronnie submitted without any hesitation.
When Jaimie broke the bite, Ronnie had fake blood running down her neck. Jaimie then turned to Ariane and Henri, and smiled, showing her fangs with blood dripping from them. Ariane looked very shocked, to the point of being scared, and Henri also had a look of shock on his face.
Ronnie recovered from the bite, looked at Ariane and Henri, grinned, and said, “Meet Jaimie, my vampire lover.”
“God you scared me.”, Ariane said, “I thought she was a stranger.”
“It’s Halloween. Anything goes, and we happen to be very good friends. Jaimie, this is Ariane and Henri.”
Jaimie continued to smile at the couple, and said, in a sexy way, “Hi.”
Ariane returned a nervous, “Hi.”
Henri was just looking at Jamie very closely, then he whispered something to Ariane. Ariane looked at Jaimie, then whispered something to Henri. Then Ariane said, “Ronnie. Where’s Jason?”
Ronnie grinned, and said, “Oh. He’s here.”
“This is Jason. . . . Isn’t it?”
“Yea. Great costume. Huh?”
“You guys scarred the hell out of me.”
“Sorry. But, it was fun.”
“He . . . He looks so good. I really though he was a she.”
“She does look good. Doesn’t she.”
“She?”
“Sure. Tonight it’s Jaimie.”
“Jaimie?”
“Sometimes he’s Jason, and sometimes she’s Jaimie.”
“You are kidding me?”
“No. She really looks good.”
“Too good.”
“Too good?”
“I mean. He looks better then most girls do.”
“I know. It’s a lot of fun.”
“Wait. You’ve done this before?”
“Sure. Lets go in the ballroom, and we’ll tell you.”
The four headed to the hotel’s ballroom where the party was being held, and it was noisy. But, they found a table in a fairly quiet corner, and headed for it.
They sat, and Ronnie gave Ariane and Henri a short version of Jason’s and Jaimie’s story. Ariane sat there and just shook her head. And, Henri just stared at Jaimie. When Ronnie was done, Ariane looked at Henri, and said, “Honey, I need a drink.”
As Henri was getting up, Ronnie said to Jaimie, “Lover. Would you get me one too?”
Henri and Jaimie walked across the ballroom floor, and stood in line at the bar. Henri finally asked Jaimie, “How do you do it?”
“Do what?”
“Look and act so much like a girl.”
“It’s all in being confident, learning the mannerisms, and some good makeup.”
“But, your voice?”
“We found a very good voice coach. She knew how to bring out my feminine voice, and how to switch between the two.”
“And, you don’t have a problem going out?”
“I use to. But, with time, and some counseling, I became very comfortable with my female side. Ronnie didn’t tell you, but we did a bridal fashion show together.”
“You are kidding?”
“No. Lingerie, and all. It was fun.”
“And, no one knew you were a guy?”
“Only Ronnie, a few friends, my mom, and sister.”
“You’re not gay?”
“No. I only like girls, and Ronnie in particular. In fact, there’s something that happens to our love making when I’m Jaimie. I’m not sure what triggers it, but it’s great. So, I guess when I’m Jaimie, I’m a lesbian.”
“You’re comfortable with this, aren’t you?”
“Very. The more I do it, the more comfortable I am. I enjoy my feminine side, and I’m just not afraid to show it.”
When Jaimie and Henri were walking across the ballroom floor toward the bar, Ariane, as she watched them, said, “He even walks like a girl. And, those boots, are easy to walk in.”
“I know. Cute isn’t it, the way her ass moves. She loves heels.”
“You really think of him as a girl, and like him this way. Don’t you?”
“Yes. When he’s Jaimie, I think of him as a girl. Because in a way he is. And, I really love Jason, and Jaimie is part of him. So, I really love him this way too.”
“So, he’s not gay or bi?”
“No way. He’s almost straight to a fault.”
“Don’t guys chase after him?”
“No. Most of the time he wears a wedding and engagement ring set, and gets left alone. Other times, we come across as lesbian lovers. And, guys leave him alone.”
“Lesbian lovers?”
“Lets put it this way. I’ve never been with another guy. But, I know from listening to girlfriends talk about their sexual experiences, that most guys don’t care how the girl feels. Guys are more interested in what they feel. With Jason, no matter if he’s himself, or Jaimie, he’s the best lover I could ask for. He’s slow, gentle, and cares that I’m receiving as much, if not more, pleasure then he is. And, it doesn’t matter if he’s Jason or Jaimie.”
“So, you’ve done it with Jaimie?”
“Many times. She’s a great lover.”
“Not going lesbian on us. Are you?”
“No. I’ve had the chance. But, Jaimie is as close as I want to be. I know it’s Jason, even though he smells, tastes, and feels like a girl. I know in the end that it’s Jason and I. And, there is something extra special when it starts with Jaimie.”
“You’ve got an interesting life style.”
“I know.”
Just then Jaimie and Henri walked up with the drinks. And, before Jaimie could sit down, Henri asked, “Jaimie could I have this dance? That is if Ariane and Ronnie don’t mind?”
Ronnie said, “Jaimie’s her own person, as long as she doesn’t mind if I dance with Ariane.”
Ariane said, “Only one. Then you both owe me one.”
Henri offered his arm to Jaimie, she took it, and they walked out onto the dance floor. Ronnie said, “I’m glad Henri is tall.”
Ariane said, “But, she’s still taller then he is.”
“So, you’re seeing Jaimie as a she?”
“I can’t help it. She just comes across that way.”
“Want to dance?”
Henri and Jaimie finished their dance, as did Ariane and Ronnie. And, Ariane did get her dances with Henri and Jaimie. Her dance with Jaimie was a slow one, and at five-five she barely came up to Jaimie’s shoulder. But, Jaimie led, she rested her head on her shoulder, and they talked a little. Ariane said, “Jaimie. I don’t understand this crossdressing thing. But, I’m just amazed as how much of a girl you are.”
“Most people don’t understand.”, Jaimie replied, “It’s just part of me. Something I can’t stop, or want to stop, doing. And, when I’m Jaimie, I am a girl, or at least as much of a one as I can be.”
“You don’t want to become Jaimie full time do you?”
“No. Jaimie is just a part of who I am. I enjoy my time as Jaimie, but Jason needs to be here too.”
“Ronnie seems to be very comfortable with you.”
“She is. She actually helped bring Jaimie out of the closet.”
“She has fun with you too. Doesn’t she?”
“Yes she does. Very much so. She’s had a lot of fun going shopping, and teaching me things.”
“You’re not afraid that she’s going to get tired of this part of you. Are you?”
“No. She keeps coming up with things, like tonight. And, she’s very aware that Jaimie is a part of me, and won’t go away.”
They stopped talking, Ariane actually held Jaimie closer, and they finished the dance. When they got back to their table, Ronnie, with a grin, said to Ariane “You’re not trying to steal my girl, are you?”
“No. Why?”, Ariane asked.
“The way you were cuddled up to her on the dance floor was more like lovers, then friends.”
“Oh. Ah. No. I just felt comfortable with her. And, we had to be that close to talk over the music.”
“Just be careful. She’s mine.”, Jaimie, still grinning, said.
They stayed at the hotel party until about eleven, when Ronnie said, “You know. This party is too tame. I think I know of a fun place to go.”
“Where?”, Ariane asked.
“Oh, just some place Jaimie and I were the last time we were in Paris.”
“Not the L’Utopia Club?”, Jaimie asked.
“No lover. The other place.”
“I bet they do have a great party going on.”
“All right. Where?”, Ariane asked.
“Do you trust me?”, Ronnie asked.
“I don’t know. What kind of trouble are you going to get us into?”
“No trouble. Just the possibility of some great fun.”
“I’ll go.”, Henri said.
“You would.”. Ariane replied, “So, I’d better go, just to keep you out of trouble.”
A few minutes later the four were in a cab heading to the drag club that Ronnie and Jaimie had visited. And, Ariane was trying to get out of Ronnie where they were going, and all that Ronnie would say was “You’ll see.”
The cab dropped them off a block from the club, and the four started walking toward the club. Now, a six-foot three-inch female vampire, a six-foot two-inch Goth bride, and a six-foot mummy, walking down the street draws a lot of attention, even on Halloween. As they approached the drag club, there were a number of people in line, and it took a little while for our four to get inside. But, once inside there was a great party underway.
Ariane looked around, and whispered to Ronnie, “This is a drag club.”
“You bet love.”, Ronnie said, “These girls know how to throw a party.”
“You are crazy.”
Most of the tables had been removed, making for a large dance floor. The girls were doing short skits on the stage. People were dancing. The booze was flowing. And, there were all kinds of costumes to be seen. Some very risque, some very lame. But, everyone was just having a good time.
The dancing at the hotel had been basically couples, except for some of the real fast stuff. But, at the drag club the dancing was all group style dancing. Everyone dancing with everyone else. And, our four got into the dancing.
After one dance, Ariane pointed out to Ronnie, that Jaimie was talking with one of the guys she had been dancing with. They stood and watched. All of a sudden the guy backed away from Jaimie very quickly. And, as Jaimie was walking back to the group, she was smiling.
“What was that all about love?”, Ronnie asked Jaimie.
Jaimie replied, “Just straightening out some clown as to what my sexual preferences are.”
“How so?”
“This guy came onto me like I wanted to have sex with him. And, it would be the greatest experience of my life. He even suggested that we go out to the back hall, and do it right then and there.”
“And, you said what?”
“He wasn’t going to take no for an answer. So, I told him that I only liked girls, and that he wasn’t enough of a girl for me. I then showed him my fangs, and told him, that if he really wanted to have sex with me, I would be happy to change his sex for him.”
“Girlfriend. Aren’t you becoming assertive?”
“A girl has to stand up for herself. Some of these guys figure that all we want is sex. I need to go to the ladies.”
The three girls headed for the restrooms. Leaving Henri by himself. There wasn’t, surprisingly, a line. But, Ariane was a little confused. Both doors, said ‘Ladies’, but one had the male symbol, and the other the female symbol. She looked at Jaimie and asked, “Which one?”
Jaimie smiled, “It depends.”
“It depends?”
“Real girls, of course, use the one with the ladies’ symbol. Guys use the other, except if they’re comfortable as girls, then they use ours. So, don’t be surprised as to who’s in the ladies.”
“Oh. I . . . I’ll wait.”
“Don’t be silly. The girls are fine. A lot of them are gay, and don’t care. There are only a few like, Jaimie.”
Jaimie walked right into the ladies, Ronnie took Ariane’s arm, and guided her in. There were about a half dozen girls in the restroom, most were really guys. Jaimie went right into the only unoccupied stall, and Ariane and Ronnie had to wait. When they were done, all three freshened their makeup, and Ariane couldn’t get over how easily Jaimie did hers.
As they walked back toward Henri, they saw him talking to someone. As they got closer, Jaimie recognized who he was talking to. It was Rose, who they had met the last time they were there. As they walked up, Henri said, “Oh. Here are my friends now. Guys, this is Rose. Rose this is Ariane, Ronnie, and Jaimie.”
“Hi girls.”, Rose said, “I thought your friend was alone, and I came over to talk to him. But, he told me that his three girlfriends had gone to the restroom. So, I kept him company.”
“Thank you.”, Ronnie said, “You don’t remember us. Do you?”
“Sorry no, honey. I don’t. But, costumes hide a lot of things.”
“It’s been a while ago. But, we were here from Brest, for one of your shows, and you were the only one to read my girlfriend as a guy.”
“I did? Is he here how?”
“Yes. You said it was something about the way she handled her drinks that gave her away as a guy. And, yes she’s here.”
Rose looked at Jaimie for a second, then at Ariane, then back at Ronnie. Then said, “Well, the only one that it could be, is the vampire. But, you’ve got to be kidding. I read her as a guy? I must have been having a really psychic day. But, she is quit tall. But, I thought it was all in the shoes.”
“You’re right. The tall, sexy, vampire, is my girlfriend.”
“I did see the four of you when you came in. I figured you for three real girls, and a guy. I saw no sign of a guy in any of the girls.”
Jaimie grinned, and said, “Rose. You say the nicest things.”
“It’s only the truth, honey. And, I can usually read them.”
They chatted for a few more minutes about the great party at the club. Rose got a little smile, and said, “You know. We’ve been doing these little sketches all evening. They’re basically what someone dreams up on the spur of the moment. And, I have an idea for one.”
“An idea?”, Henri asked.
“Yes, honey. And, I need all four of you. If you’re willing?”
Ariane looked a little puzzled. Ronnie said, “Sure.” Jaimie said, “I’m in.” Henri just nodded yes. Everyone then just looked at Ariane. Finally Ronnie said, “Well. Love, are you in?”
“Oh. I guess.”, Ariane finally said.
“It’ll be fun.”, Rose said, “Come on with me. We’ll go backstage, and work this out. It won’t take long, and the skit will only last a minute or two.”
Twenty minutes later, Rose picked up the microphone, and said, “Hello everyone, we have another short sketch for you, that we hope you will like.”
The lights came up on the stage showing Ariane and Henri, they appeared to be having an argument. And, Rose continued with, “It appears that our mummy is in love with our lovely blood-covered prom queen. But, she appears to not want him. But, why? They make such a lovely couple.”
Ariane makes a motion that Henri doesn’t have breasts.
Rose said, “Wait. Could it be our prom queen is really a lesbian? Could it be? Yes. She’s a lesbian.”
Henri got down on his knees pleading with Ariane. Ariane turns her back on Henri.
Rose says, “Our mummy is heart broken. He pleads with our prom queen. But, she won’t have anything to do with him.”
Suddenly there’s a little puff of smoke on the left side of the stage, and when it clears Jaimie is standing there in a spot light. Rose then says, “The day may be saved. It’s Transsexual Vampire, will she help? Will she change our mummy from him into her. If only he’s willing to do this for his prom queen.”
Ariane and Henri both look at Jaimie, then Ariane pleads with Henri.
Then Rose says, “Our prom queen is pleading with the mummy to become a girl for her. Is he bending? Will he? Maybe. Yes. He’s said yes.”
Jaimie walks over to Henri, shows her fangs to the audience, and bites Henri on the neck. There’s another puff of smoke, and as Henri runs off stage, Ronnie runs on. Rose continues with, “Oh what a lovely Goth bride, Transsexual Vampire has provided for our prom queen.”
Ariane and Ronnie look into each others eyes like lovers do, and exchange a deep kiss. Ariane goes down on one knee, and mimes a wedding proposal to Ronnie. Ronnie nods yes. And, they exchange another deep kiss.
Rose closes with, “Our two girls were meant for each other. May they live in lesbian bliss for ever. And, now I want to thank our players, Ronnie, Ariane, Jaimie, and Henri.”
There was a nice round of applause, as our four players take a bow, and then exit the stage. Rose grabbed them, and said, “That was great you four. Thanks for adding to the fun. And, girls that kiss! You’re not lovers, are you?”
Ariane blushed, and Ronnie said, “No. Just good friends. And, it was fun.”
“You four have fun, and enjoy the rest of the night.”
“We will, and thanks for including us.”
Rose gave everyone a hug, and a kiss on the cheek. Then, as they were walking back out into the club, Ronnie pulled Ariane aside, and said, “All right girlfriend. Where did that kiss come from?”
Looking at the floor, Ariane replied, “I just thought it would add to the skit.”
Ronnie lifted Ariane’s chin, so that she was looking in her eyes, and said, “Girlfriend. That was more than a friendly kiss. And, the tongue?”
“I’m sorry. I’ve always wanted to see what it was like to kiss a girl that way.”
“And, you did it in front of all these people?”
“Yea. It just felt right.”
“You’re not the one going lesbian on me. Are you?”
“No. But, . . . But, if I was, I’d want it to be with you. . . . I’m sorry.”
“I’m not. It was fine love. We’ll call it a sisterly kiss.”
“Really?”
With a sweet smile, Ronnie said, “Sure. I actually liked it. It was almost as sensuous as one of Jaimie’s kisses.” And, she gave Ariane a quick kiss.
The two girls hurried to catch up with Jaimie and Henri. They then lost track of time, and when they finally checked it was after four in the morning. They were lucky to find a cab, and were back at the hotel just before five. And, they were also lucky that they had another night at the hotel.
The four said goodnight, and went to their respective rooms. As Ronnie and Jaimie were removing their costumes, Jaimie asked, “What was with that kiss from Ariane all about?”
“Nothing.”
Jaimie looked at Ronnie, with a questioning look, and said, “That was an awful deep nothing.”
“She told me that she’d always wanted to kiss a girl that way. And, the time just felt right to her.”
“In front of all those people?”
“Maybe she felt safer.”
“Safer?”
“That it wouldn’t go further.”
“Would it have gone farther?”
“I don’t think so. At least on my end. I had my one lesbian encounter. I didn’t mind it. But, it wasn’t me.”, she kissed Jaimie, and then said with a sly smile, “I’ll stick to my lesbian encounters with Jaimie.”
Jaimie hung the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the door. And . . .
In Ariane and Henri’s room, as they were removing their costumes, Henri said, “That was some kiss you gave Ronnie.”
All Ariane said was, “Uh huh.”
“Want to talk about it?”
“No.”
“I think we should.”
“It was just a kiss. Nothing special.”
“Nothing special! Two long, deep, kisses like those are something.”
“It’s something that I’ve always want to do.”
“What, kiss Ronnie?”
“No, to find out what a deep kiss with a girl was like.”
“And?”
“It was nice.”
“Nice?”
“It was soft, sensual, and felt good.”
“Better than our kisses?”
“No. Just different.”
“Going lesbian on me?”
“No. . . . But, . . . “
“But, what?”
“I . . . I might like to try it with a girl.”
“With a girl!?”
“Yea.”
“I’m not losing you, am I?”
“No.”, Ariane said, as she walked over, and kissed Henri, “I’m . . . I’m just curious. I still love you very much.”
“I love you very much too, and I don’t want to lose you.”
“You won’t love.”
“And, I don’t want to share you.”
Later that afternoon, the four finally got back together for dinner. Ariane said, “Last night was really fun. And, I thought that Jaimie would be with us today.”
“I figured you guys would have fun at that club.”, Ronnie said, “And, you really didn’t mind Jaimie?”
“No. It was interesting. Seeing that someone that I thought of as a very macho guy, could be such a feminine girl.”
The four spent the rest of the day, and that night, exploring Paris. And, the following day at breakfast before the flight home, it was Jaimie instead of Jason, and Henri asked, “Are you going to travel as Jaimie?”
“Sure. I just had an urge to be her today.”, Jaimie replied.
“You really do feel that comfortable this way. Don’t you?”
“Yes. It’s like I become Jaimie, and it feels good to be dressed this way. Actually it feels natural.”
“Natural?”, Ariane asked.
“Like I am a girl.”
“You should watch him become Jaimie.”, Ronnie said, “As she dresses, you can see his feminine side come out. Jason actually becomes Jaimie in so many ways.”
“And, you love him either way?”, Ariane asked.
“Yes. It’s like having two very different people around, and two very different lovers.”
The flight back to Brest was uneventful, and as they were saying goodbye at the airport, Ariane gave Jaimie a hug and kiss, just like she did Ronnie.
A week later there was a soft knock on the door to Ronnie’s and Jason’s flat.

Rereading the entire series.
All I can say is Ronnie really needs to learn to keep her mouth SHUT !!! On more then one occasion she has outed Jamie, just because people look at her and think they know her. Not a good enough reason.
Chapters of serials...
...are eligible for the holiday contest, Teddie. :)
- Erin
= Give everyone the benefit of the doubt because certainty is a fragile thing that can be shattered by one overlooked fact.
Hmmmmm - Is it Henri or Ariane?
I will have to tune in to the next chapter to find out, I suppose.
If I were a betting person, I would bet it was Henri. Why? Well he loves Ariane very much and would be willing to do pretty much anything to make her happy, including crushing his macho self-image to allow his feminine side to show.
Dear Teddie - this is pure speculation on my part, because I have absolutely no foreknowledge of the next chapter.
Thank you for continuing this story in such a lovely way,
with love,
HER
with love,
Hope
Once in a while I bare my soul, more often my soles bear me.
re: Hmmmmm - Is it Henri or Ariane?
Hi Her,
Well you may be correct, but it could be a someone else. ;-) We shall see.
Teddie
will it be Henri or Henrietta?
After Ariele's little talk with Henri, I think he is going to ask our dynamic duo to help him fulfill Arielle's dream.
re: will it be Henri or Henrietta?
Hmm. Interesting fem name for Herri. But, is that who it is? Or, is it Ariane? Or, is it someone else? Marie, maybe?

Excellent Chapter Again Teddie!
Erin is right. This chapter is good enough for the contest! Try! You might win!
Wow. I can say the girlness of Jaimie was starting to permeate the story. I actually felt really good about reading this. Jaimie's passability and comfortableness with being female in the several scenes of this chapter was a good descriptive read!
Jason's enjoyment of his feminine side as Jamie is also a treat for us sentimental types. Not to many stories that I have run across that do a good description of the enjoyment and happiness derived from being female, usually the description focuses on just the looking like one and passability issues.
Teddie has shown Ronnie is not the type of person that had a problem with running their mouth like I had pointed out. That is good! I would have hated for her to have had that problem.
Now as far as Ariane's explorative tryste, I think Ronnie made a huge mistake and awakened something she should not have. But Ronnie had no way to know and Ariene's exposure to Jaimie made her want to try it even more. Means she is at least Bi for sure, Lesbian convert maybe. Jaimie's ability to have the impact on people that meet her like she does now and cause them question why she can possibly pass, act and feel like a girl is what draws me to this story as tightly as it does!
I hope Ariene's marriage is not about to be ruined by Ariene's wanting to explore a side of herself she may not have known she had. We must watch and wait for Teddie to work the magic on these two wonderful loving characters!
*hugs*

re: Excellent Chapter Again Teddie!
Hi Sephrena,
Thank you, again.
You have some real insite to Jaimie, She's really beginning to love her girl self.
Now, Ariane. I just don't know what she's thinking. Maybe the others are correct, and Herni wants to find his feminine side, or maybe he already has one. Who's knocking at the door, Ariane, Henrie, the postman, or someone else? We shall see.
