Joan - Chapter 11 By Andrea Ribeiro Many thanks to Stanman63 for editing.! Previously: “No, Mom, we thought you would want to go too, and maybe we could go to the hair salon to give Joanie a new haircut and some pampering. It will be a new experience for her, an all girly day,” Jenny says with an evil grin on her face “That’s a great idea, maybe we should get her ears pierced too,” Mom says with her eyes sparkling with the same grin as Jenny on her face. Oh my, what did I get myself into?

[-][+][-]

“Joanie, wake up,” My sister says, shaking me.

“What time is it?”

“Eight in the morning, we have a big day ahead of us.”

“It’s Sunday, Sis, it’s too early. We have lots of time,” I say trying to hide my head under the covers.

“We have a lot to do before Mindy gets here, now get up,” she says, taking the covers away.

“Grrr... OK, OKy. I’m up.”

[-][+][-]

I get up and started walking to the bathroom when Jenny gives me a strange look, “Joanie, I think you had a bit of a growth spurt last night.”

Still half awake I looked at her, “I don’t seem to be any taller, Sis.” trying to compare our heights.

“Not that kind of growth spurt, silly.” she giggles.

“Huh?”

“Look down.”

I did so, but probably by being still half asleep, I didn’t notice anything strange, “I still don’t know what you are talking about.”

That set her off and she started to laugh.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Sorry, Sis, its the face you made, it was priceless.”

“Now tell me what you meant about growth spurt.”

“Look at your breasts.”

I looked at my breasts and they did look bigger, “Oh wow, I have breasts!”

“I think we are almost the same size, now.”

“It seems I won’t need to pad my bra, anymore.”

“Only to make them look bigger,” she giggles.

“I need to go to the bathroom.”

“OK,take a shower too and then we will have breakfast.”

“OK.” I reply, dashing to the bathroom.

[-][+][-]

I get a shower cap as I didn’t want to deal with wet hair. During the shower, I check my new breasts, the last few days my nipples had started to grow a bit and get a bit puffy, but nothing like this. They are not big, but perfectly formed, and the nipples are very sensitive, too. I decided to stop the exploration before I lose control as I was getting pretty heated up already.

After I get out of the shower, I pat myself dry, wrap the towel around myself and go to my bedroom to check myself in the mirror. I like what I see, my body is starting to take the shape of a teenage girl. ‘It is happening pretty quickly though.’

I brush my hair and notice that it really needs a cut and a more feminine style. ‘I wonder how I would look with my hair with the same golden color as Rhea’s’ I ask myself while putting on my panties and try to put on a bra, but it's a bit too tight, so I decide to wear a bath robe for now and ask Jenny to help me, later.

[-][+][-]

I turn around and I am about to leave the room to go downstairs when I stop dead on my tracks.

“JENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I yell.

A few moments later she comes running and asks, “What's wrong?” before stopping dead on her tracks too.

“W...what, H...how?” she stutters.

“I have no idea, I wondered how I would look with my hair with a certain golden color and I turn around that's what I saw.”

She still has her mouth wide open in shock, but soon I see her closing it and forming a big smile, “Oh wow, Sis. That color looks amazing. I’m so jealous of you. I wish I could change my hair color like that.”

“Sis, I have no idea how I did it, and frankly, I’m a bit freaked out right now.”

“Sorry sis, I know what you mean. I would be a bit freaked out if it happens to me, too.”

“What will I do? I mean, the others will see me downstairs and see that something is strange.”

“Just act normal, If anyone asks, just tell the truth.”

“OK, but I don't think they will buy the ‘it just happened’ bit.”

“There is no point on worrying about it right now, is it? Unless you can change your hair color back, I mean.”

“I don't know how it happened, so I don’t think I can do it, right now.”

“Then let's go downstairs because breakfast is ready.”

“Jen, can you help me choose something to wear?”

“Of course, right after breakfast. OK?”

“OK.”

[-][+][-]

We go downstairs, enter the kitchen to help Mom sets the table and she looks at me, “Joanie, the hair color looks great, but you should have waited to do it at the salon.”

“Sorry, Mom.”

“Mom thinks you painted your hair,” my sister whispers to me.

“I noticed, at least I won't have to explain the new color.”

“Stop whispering you two. Jenny, help me with the table and Joan, you go call the boys.”

“Yes, Mother” we both said at the same time and giggle.

[-][+][-]

I go upstairs and knocked on my parents door, “Come in.” he says.

“Daddy, Mommy asked me to call you for breakfast.”

“OK, Pumpkin, I'll be downstairs in 5 minutes.” He says and starts to get up.

Next, I go to Josh's room and knocked on the door. 'It is still strange to think of it at Josh's room.'

“What?” comes from inside.

“Josh? It's me, Joan. Mom asked me to tell you that breakfast is ready.”

He opens the door, looking half asleep still, “Hi, sis. How are you feeling, today?”

“Apart from some strange happenings, I'm feeling great.”

“Strange happenings?”

“Look at my hair.”

“Oh wow. It looks just like Rhea's.”

“Shhhh. Not so loud, Josh.”

“Sorry. That color looks great on you, though.”

“I know, Mom thinks I painted it.”

“You didn't?”

“No, I was wondering how I'd look with my hair this color, then I noticed it was like this.”

“That's cool.”

“A bit, and a bit freaky too.”

“I think I know what you mean. Now move away from the door or I'll piss in my pants.”

I head downstairs giggling at that.

[-][+][-]

I sit at the table with Mom and Jenny, a couple minutes later, Dad and Josh join us.

“Good morning, girls” Dad says.

“Good Morning, Daddy.” Jenny and I reply.

“Good morning, honey.” Mom says and gives Dad a light kiss on his lips.

“Morning everyone.” Josh says as he sits.

“Any plans for today?” Dad asks.

“We are going shopping to start up Joanie's wardrobe. Do you guys want to join us? We will probably need you to hold the bags for us,” Mom says.

The color drained from their faces. “W..well, I.. we..we...” Dad starts to say.

“I’m going to the park meet the guys, we need to work on our pitching before our next game,” Josh replies.

“I’m going with you, Josh. I can give you some pointers.”

“That will be great, Dad.”

“OK, you two can go play,” Mom says and we giggle.

“Thanks, Love,” Dad says kissing Mom's cheek.

[-][+][-]

After breakfast, we head upstairs and Jenny goes through her wardrobe, looking for something for me to wear.

“I think this will be perfect,” she says picking up a denim mini skirt and top. “It will be good for a shopping spree as it will be good to have something easy to put on take off.”

“You think it will look good on me?”

“Sis, you'll look hot, believe me.”

“I think I'll need a bra too, mine are too small.”

“I'll loan one to you sis, but it might be a bit big on you,” she replies and picks a bra from her drawer. “Here try this one.”

I try and it was a bit big on the cups, “Hmmm, l think you just need a little padding to help fill them up,” She observes and places some pads inside the cups.

After I get dressed I look at the mirror and see that I look good, “Sis, isn’t this skirt a bit short?” I ask her trying to lower the hem a little bit more.

“No, it's perfect.”

“Are you sure? I'm not used to showing so much skin. I feel half naked.”

“Come on, you know you look good. You'll get used to it.”

“OK, I trust your judgment, after all you have been a girl longer than me.”

“No, you been one for almost as long, we just didn't know it. I just have more experience.” She admits as she hugs me.

“Want me to brush your hair?”

“Is the Pope Catholic?” I ask her back.

“Come on, sit down.” she giggles.

“You know how much I love it when people brush my hair.”

“I know, and your hair looks so amazing, right now.”

“Thanks, I'm still a bit freaked out about it, thought.”

“I would be too if I were in your place.”

[-][+][-]

We finish getting ready and go downstairs and sit just as the door bell rings.

“I’ll get it,” Josh says.

He opens the door and it was Mindy. “Hi Mindy, nice to see you again, but I’m in a bit of a hurry, see you soon.” he says as he heads out the door.

“Son, wait up.” Dad yells, dashing after him.

“Come in Mindy, don't mind them. They are just trying to avoid a shopping trip” Jenny giggles. “Mom will be ready soon.”

Mindy enters and has a strange look on her face. “Who was that?”

“Who?” we both ask.

“The boy that just left.”

“That was Josh, silly. You have known him for years,” my sister says.

Mindy has a strange look on her face and I feel a shiver go up my spine. Did she notice something?’

She looks at me and her look does not change, “Hi Joan, do you mind telling me what the heck is going on around here?”

“What are you talking about?” I ask her trying to look confused.

“First, who is Josh?”

“How can't you remember Josh, Mindy? He is Joanie's twin brother,”

“Twin brother? Joan never had a twin brother. And look at her, you can tell she knows something about it.”

Oh crap, how did she know that?

“Joanie?” Jenny looks at me in confusion.

“I think we better go to our room and I'll explain everything.”

[-][+][-]

We go to our room and closed the door. I sit down and wonder what to say.

“Joanie? Do you know what Mindy is talking about? Is it true?”

“It is true, sorta.” I say thinking boy how to explain it.

“What do you mean?” They both ask.

“He has always been around, but not as Josh.”

“I don't get it, sis. What about you, Mindy?”

“I'm also lost.”

I sigh. “Until a little over a week ago, Josh and I were the same person.”

“WHAT????” They both say.

“This is impossible.” Mindy exclaims.

“But I have known Josh my entire life.” Jenny affirms.

“What I'm saying it's the truth, let me tell you exactly what happened.”

And that's what I do, I tell them everything including about Rhea and the 'Dreams' I had.

“You are telling us that Rhea the Greek goddess of the Earth and Motherhood gave you both a bit of her essence to you and Josh?” Mindy asks.

“Yes, and she said it made us her children too.”

“Maybe that's why you healed so fast and was able to change your hair color like that. And probably the boobs too.” Jenny replies.

“Do you believe me?” I ask them.

“I don't know why, but I do.” Mindy affirms.

“How did you know what was happening, Mindy? Everyone seemed to think Josh has been here all along.”

“That's a good question, but as you trusted me with your secret I think I can tell you mine.”

“Is it about magic?” I ask her.

“Yes, how did you know?” Mindy asks confusedly.

“Jenny wanted to tell you about my healing and said you used to talk to her about magic.”

“Well... that's not all. I'm from a long lineage of witches.”

“That's so cool.” Jenny says excitedly.

“So that's how you knew something was different?”

“Sort of. Saturday morning my mom was helping me with my studies and we were inside a protection circle in case anything went wrong when suddenly it started to glow like it was hit by something. I asked her what happened and she said she never saw anything like that before. After coming here and seeing Josh I think I know what happened."

“I think I know too. I think what hit the protection circle was Rhea's spell changing reality to fit Josh in.”

“That's what I'm thinking. Maybe I should take you and Josh to meet my mother sometime.”

“You think she will believe us?”

“I'm pretty sure she will.”

“Are you both still want to go shopping with me?”

“Of course I do.” Mindy says.

Jenny looked thoughtful for a moment and says. “Of course I do too. This might be a bit freaky but from my point of view I just won a new brother and sister.”

“Exactly which one of you were Johnny?” Mindy asks.

“We both were, but my personality was the one in charge. So basically I was him. I can’t imagine how it must have been for Josh to be trapped inside without being able to do anything for so long.” I say and feel a tear forming.

“Don't cry, Sis. Everything is fine now.” Jenny promises and hugs me tightly.

“Thanks, Sis, thanks Mindy.”

A few seconds later I hear a knock on the door.

“Hey girls, are you ready to go shopping?” Mom asks.

“Yes!” we reply.

“Come on, Joanie. Let's have some fun.” Mindy says, holding my hand.

“O... Okay.” I reply, a bit flushed.

Jenny looked at me and started to giggle attracting our attention.

“What's so funny?” Mindy asks.

“You two, holding hands like that.”

“Well... I...” Mindy tries to say blushing, but not letting go of my hand.

“G...Girls can hold hands, OK?” I ask Jenny.

“Y..Yes, that's OK.” Mindy affirms.

I wonder if Mindy has a crush on me too. I ask myself.

“Okay, lovebirds. Let's go raid the mall.” Jenny says, leaving the room in a run.

“Hey!” We both exclaim and run after her.
