I woke to the sound of knocking on the stateroom door. Guess I was a little tired as well, though I always seem to catch a nap here, and there. That's the problem with insomnia. I called out, 'Come in, it is open.”

As the door opened, I saw Lana dressed in dungarees that looked like they were painted on, I almost choked to see this virginal young woman in something so out of character. As Jan and Lana stepped in, I remarked, “Not your usual type of dress is it ET1?” as Jan closed the door.

Lana blushed, “I thought you would like it Rae,” she said, on the verge of tears.

I quickly replied, “Oh Lana, dear, I do. But will you be comfortable wearing your uniform like that in front of everyone?” I moved over to her as I spoke, then kissed her tenderly on the Lips, as I hugged her.

Jan joined us in the hug, “I think you look very sexy too, Lana. But you did almost run here from berthing.”

I was happy Jan was there to help Lana, but it kept me from asking questions I needed to ask. Then I tried a different idea see if I could get there in a round about way.

“Take a seat, girls,” I sat on my bunk, ankles crossed in front of me, remembering to smooth my skirt under me. I asked, “Lana, were you able to take care of the boot problem for me?”

Lana looked puzzled for a moment, “Oh, Um, Yes Ma'am, I did.”

The door swung open, as the XO stepped in, “I need a word with you about what happened down in the ET shop this morning, LT. Summers.”

I tried not to give too much away, “Yes Ma'am, be happy to come to your office. If I may have 5 minutes to finish my instructions to ET1 before HM1 takes her back to berthing.”

The XO looked at Lana and Jan, “Well, if they were both there I need to talk to them as well.”

This was starting to look bad, I stood, “Jan was not there, she just helped look after Lana once I got her to sickbay, Ma'am.”

The XO, looked at me intently, “Very well, HM1, you are dismissed.”

HM1 looked at Lana and me, asking silently what was going on. I just nodded for her to go on, giving her a smile.

The XO sat down in my Chair, “If you would sit over next to Freddie ET1, we will get started.”

I gulped as did Lana, I sat in the chair next to her, “Ma,am, there was no malice in what we did.”

“I know that, I just want to hear the whole story. I want to be sure the nine men you haphazardly turned into women was not a random act.”

I started form the beginning where I woke as Rae, and Lana finished with the visit from 'The Goddess' and her gift of more magical power, the scanning of the entire crew turning up fifteen men wanting to be women and her changing nine single males to female to meet the requirements of the testing, so Lana could adjust reality for Sara's sake.

The XO nodded, “Then you have been more blessed than I, to have been in the presence of the 'Golden Queen'. So are the ballet boots permanent, or can you take them off?”

I was shocked for a moment, “Um, yes Ma'am, I can take them off now. Um are we in trouble, Ma'am?”

“No Rae, you and Lana are not in trouble, though Queen Gooey had better keep her stateroom door open whenever ET1 is in here alone. Just one more thing, Rae. Call me Cathy, when we are in our rooms, or off the ship. Um Lana do you think you can help this poor old woman a bit and heal my arthritis a bit?”

Lana held out her hands and the XO placed her hand in Lana's. Golden light flowed from Lana to the XO, soon her whole body was in a cocoon of golden light. It faded away and Lana had done a bit more, Cathy's hair was now black and she looked very pretty, like she had I guess in her 20's.

Cathy stood and looked in the mirror, "ET1 in the future follow directions, How am I supposed to look 'Scary Beyond All Reason', now that you have made me so pretty?” the XO turned to Lana, she laughed at the look on Lana's and my faces, “Oh that is priceless, relax Lana, you too, Rae. What, you think I never heard you say that before? Well girls, I am going to go back and take care of some paper work. I'll leave the door open, so try not to have too much fun. I know Lana can make it look and sound like your just going over equipment or something.”

Cathy walked out as we sat there dumbfounded. I looked at Lana and she at me, both pretty perplexed, “Um, what in the world?”

Lana smiled and pulled me onto my bunk, “I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth.” Lana kissed me passionately as she ran her hands over my uniform and boots, putting them up in the chair neatly as well as Lana's neatly folded uniform. We had more fun and I was definitely very gooey, do not really know when Lana left.

I woke as dinner was called, I grabbed my robe and shower kit, headed to the 'O' Showers. It took me a long time to figure out how to clean gooey central, without causing even more. Back in my stateroom I put on my khaki duty uniform with the skirt, 3 inch pumps, nude thigh high stockings and a null gravity bra, I was happy to be down to a triple D. I was able to get my hair pinned up once more, though it was sort of turban like. Calling the shop, Sara answered, “Hi Sara is Lana there?”

“Yes Ma'am, Just a moment, I'll get her,” I heard her set the phone down.

Lana picked up, “Hi Rae, what do you need?”

I laughed, “Just thought I would call and thank you for the special treatment, lover. Plus I thought I'd take you out to dinner, I'm Buying.” I could not stop the giggles.

Lana Laughed, “It would be a delight to go to dinner with such Royalty. Okay if Sara comes along?'

I put on a regal voice, “Very well, I shall grant you both and audience. Oh, and lets see if Jan is available.”

We met in front of the ships post office where PC1 was talking with Sara,. “Hi Megan and Sara, Jan coming along, too?”

Sara smiled, “She and Lana should be here in a moment, and Maggie said she'd be here as well.”

“Oh, so all of the Gamers will be at dinner. Good, maybe we can set up a new run.” I have a BAD Feeling about this.- I sort of went off to worry land wondering how bad this was going to be. -Well maybe they do not have any memory of before, Yeah and I am a Chinese fighter pilot.

Then Lana gave me a quick peck on the cheek, and I came back to our new reality. I looked around all five of the girls where there. “Well the gangs all here. Shall we proceed to dinner.”

Lana, Jan, and Sara replied, “Yes your Majesty.” I blushed, already feeling gooey. Oh I think this was a mistake. We got our food, I paid my fees, and picked up the survey forms, and some how the six of us were able to squeeze into a booth for four. The Mess Decks were mostly empty as it was late into the mealtime.

Just as we finished getting settled, Maggie asks, “What the Hell is going on? Oh, and whoever is responsible for this...Thank you so much. I really wanted this so much. It is a dream come true.”

I smiled and put out a feeler, “So is everyone as happy as Maggie or a close approximation there of?”

Jan and Megan grinned, “Oh, very happy. So whats the deal?”

I looked at them again, They are twins, and my memory confirmed they were the Angbel Twins. -OH GODDESS I AM CARRYING TWINS!- things went gray.
