The rest of the two weeks, that Vanessa’s parents were gone, went along as the first part had. The couple enjoyed spending all their time together, Sam spent every night, and Samantha was only around at night. But, toward the end of the second week, as Vanessa’s parents were due back on Sunday, and she wanted to do something with her girlfriends on Saturday night. They found a club that looked like it might be a lot of fun. It wasn’t far off the Georgetown University campus, so it wasn’t that far from home, and it was a college age club. So, on the Friday morning before, they started looking through his girl clothes trying to find something for him to wear.

Vanessa just shook her head, as she was looking. Sam said, “What?”

“Girlfriend.”, Vanessa said, “You are clothing deprived. We’re going to have to work on that.”

“Gee. I’m sorry. But, I’m only a part time girl. And, judging by your closet, you’ve been doing it for a long time.”

“Smart Alec. Just for that, we’re going shopping. And, you are going to be one sexy girl when we’re done.”

They, as they loved to do, bantered back and forth for a little while. Toshi just loved hearing them do this. And, just sat back, listened, and grinned.

The girls helped Sam become Samantha. They had him wear pantyhose with the jeans, and blouse outfit. And, the three inch pumps. He complained about having to wear the pumps, “I can’t wear these. I’ll break my ankle.”

“Girlfriend.”, Vanessa said, “You picked them out, and you can learn to wear them. It isn’t that hard. And, you need practice.”

Sam grumbled a bit, but put them on, and walked around a little. And, Vanessa said, “Honey. You’re doing a lot better than last time.”

The three girlfriends, headed to a store that Vanessa knew had the clothes she was looking for. This store specialized in club wear. Sam was going to look sexy for the club. When they were done, Sam walked out of the store with a short leather skirt, a pair of black fishnet pantyhose, a pair of bright red, open toed shoes, with a one inch platform, four inch heels, that laced up the calf, and a sexy black top, that was off one shoulder, and left the midriff exposed.

As they were walking out of the store, Toshi said, “That top needs a strapless bra, or no bra at all.”

“You’re right.” Vanessa said, “I’d love to see Samantha braless, but it won’t work. I guess we’ll have to get her a strapless one. Come on, I know just the place.”

Sam couldn’t believe what they were putting him through. But, a girl has to learn to shop.

The three walked about three blocks to a lingerie store that had more bras, panties, and other things than Sam had ever seen. The three started looking at various items of unmentionables. A clerk walked up to them, and said, “May I help you?”

“Yes.”, Vanessa said, “Our friend here just purchased a top that needs a strapless bra.”

“They are right over here Miss.” And, the clerk took them to that part of the store. Then said, “If you see anything you like, and want to try it on. The changing rooms are at the back of the shop.”

The girls looked through dozens and dozens of bras. And, picked four that looked like they would work. They took them back to the changing rooms, and while Toshi watched their other packages, Vanessa helped Sam. Since Sam wore breast forms, the strapless bras weren’t working, like they would on a real girl. Vanessa stopped, thought awhile, ‘We could use a torsolette, but that wouldn’t work with the exposed midriff. Then there’s . . . ‘ and, then said to Sam, “Stay here a minute.”

She walked out of the changing room, and was back within five minutes. When she got back, she said, “Problem solved. Which of the bras do you like the best?”

“This black one is very pretty. But, how’s it going to work?”

“You’ll see. And, that is a very pretty one.”

Sam had chosen a black lacy, underwire bra, with demi cups. While Sam got dressed, Vanessa took the other bras back. When he came out, Toshi and Vanessa were whispering about something. Vanessa looked at him, and said, “You’re right. I think I saw something over here.” And, she led them to another part of the store that had various kinds of panties, and underwear. The two girls started looking at something that looked a little strange to Sam. They picked out a black pair, and Toshi said, “These will give him some shape.”

“Huh?”, Sam said.

“They’re padded panties. They’re for girls that don’t have a butt, or hips. Like you.”, Vanessa said.

He just shook his head.

Toshi quipped, “Nessa. Be careful. We’re telling him all our secrets.”

The girls headed back to Vanessa’s house. Once there they laid out everything on Vanessa’s bed, Sam just shook his head. Then he noticed two spray cans that he hadn’t seen before, and asked, “What’s that?”

“Oh. Nothing.”, Vanessa said.

“Nothing usually gets me into trouble. What are they?”

“Spray adhesive.”

“Spray adhesive for what?”

“Oh. . . . Your breasts.”

“What?”

“It’s spray adhesive for your breast forms.”

“Why?”

“So that you can wear the strapless bra, and that blouse.”

“Okay. How?”

“We glue the forms to your chest. Then the bra will work. Want to see?”

“Ah . . . I guess. But, how do we get them off?”

“That’s what the other can is for. You can blame Toshi for this. It was on one of the web pages that she showed me. And, I noticed that the lingerie store carried mastectomy supplies, and they had the adhesive, and remover. So, take off your blouse and bra, and lay down on my bed. And, we’ll see if it works.”

Sam grumbled a bit, but removed his blouse, and bra. And, set the forms on the bed side table. Vanessa read the instructions on the can. She placed the forms on Sam’s chest, and lightly marked when they were. Then she sprayed the back of the breast form with the adhesive, and also carefully sprayed the area of his chest where they would go. She waited until the glue was tacky, carefully placed the forms on his chest, and held them in place for a short time.

“Okay, lover. Sit up.”

Sam sat up, and the forms moved with him, they were part of him. His only comment was, “These are heavy.”

The girls laughed a little. And, Toshi said, “Yea. And, we have to live with them.”

As she picked up the strapless bra, Vanessa said, “Lets try the new bra.” She helped Sam put it on. Then stood back, smiled, and said, “That looks very nice. It’ll work.”

“Okay. We can take them off now.”, Sam said.

“Oh no, girlfriend. Try the blouse, and see how that looks with the bra.”, Vanessa said, as she helped him put the blouse on. It felt a little funny to him, one shoulder and arm bare, and the other covered.

Toshi said, “That will look great.”

“Okay. Now can we get these off?”

“If you insist.”, Vanessa said, with her hands on her hips. “But, I’d practice in the heels.”

On Saturday afternoon, as Vanessa and Sam were walking back to her house, she asked Sam, “Are you ready to become a club girl for a night?”

“I don’t know. You two worry me.”

“It will be fun. Three girlfriends out for an evening.”

“Yea. What about all the single guys that’ll be there?”

“Let me worry about them.”

After a light supper, Sam and Vanessa started getting ready. The first thing was Sam’s breasts. Vanessa went through the same things she did on Friday, mark, spray the adhesive, wait, and carefully put them in place. When the adhesive had set, she helped him with the bra. Then he wiggled into the padded panty. It was tight. Then he sat on the bed in his underwear, while Vanessa did her own makeup, and hair. He watched her change from his very pretty fiance, to a very sexy young woman.

“Okay, love. Your turn. And, Toshi should be here in half an hour.”

Sam got up, and sat at Vanessa’s dressing table. She was going to do his makeup, as it was going to be an evening look. She worked on his eyebrows first, thinning them down, and giving them more of an arch. Then came the makeup, she spent a long time on his eyes, giving them a very provocative look. Heavy on the mascara. Heavy on the eye liner. Heavy on the eye shadow. Heavy on the blush. The lipstick she used was dark, and very glossy. She put his wig on, fussed with it for a long time, and when she was done, it was very sexy.

The doorbell rang, and she said, “That must be Toshi. Here, do your nails, toes and fingers, while I go let her in.” She tossed him a bottle of polish, put her robe on, and headed downstairs to answer the door.

Sam looked at the polish. It was almost black. He went over to her bed, sat, and started on his toe nails.

Vanessa and Toshi walked back in the bedroom, and Toshi said, “Wow! Little sister you look fantastic. I thought Vanessa looked great, but wow.”

The girls finished getting ready. Sam thought it was interesting that both Vanessa and his sister were running around in their underwear, just like he was really another girl. Everyone helped each other in getting dressed. The fishnet hose felt funny to Sam, but Vanessa was also wearing a pair. Sam was dressed in the short leather skirt, which hit him mid thigh, the off the shoulder blouse, and the platforms with a four-inch heel. Toshi had to help him get the laces that went up his calf, done properly.

Toshi was wearing a very sexy red dress that was really too short. And, her makeup matched the other girls, very sexy. Her shoes, were white, with a two-inch platforms, and four inch heels, that had three ankle straps.

Vanessa had on a short, plaid, pleated skirt, and an almost see through white blouse that really showed her cleavage. Her shoes were almost like Toshi’s, except they were in black.

Sam looked at the two girls, and got a concerned look on his face.

Vanessa said, “Honey. What’s wrong?”

“This whole thing?”, Sam answered.

“Huh?”

“I’ve never seen you like this before?”

“I did a little clubbing before we got back together. But, not since. And, I just thought it would be fun to do it one last time.”

“One last time? And, Toshi. This is a real surprise.”

“A girl has to have some fun when she’s away at college.”, Toshi answered, with a smile.

“And, I thought you might have some fun going out with two sexy girls.”, Vanessa added.

“I’m just worried about the three of us getting hit on. I don’t want that.”

“Honey. I know that. And, just let me handle it. I’ve done it before.”

“All right. But, I’m still not comfortable with this whole thing.”

“Stop worrying, and just enjoy it.”

“I’ll try.”

“That’s a girl. I’ll go call a cab.”

“A cab. It’s only five or six blocks.”

“Do you really want to walk that far in those heels?”

“Ah . . . No.”

Ten minutes after the cab arrived, the girls were at the club. Sam was still not really sure about this whole idea. They paid the cover charge, and walked in. It was a very noisy place, but everyone appeared to be having a great time. Somehow, the girls found an empty table. And, as they were walking to it, Sam could feel people watching them. The table was one of those with the very high stools, and the girls had to be careful with their skirts, so they didn’t show too much. A friend of Toshi’s, Angela, who they had gone to high school with, spotted her, and joined the group. They sat for awhile, people watched, and had a few non-alcoholic drinks. Finally Vanessa and Sam got up, and danced a couple of dances, as two girls would.

They had been there about an hour, when three guys walked up. Sam thought, ‘Oh no. I knew this was going to happen.’, and just looked at Vanessa. The tallest one said, “Hi girls. I’m Paul, this is Michael, and this is Steve. Couldn’t help but notice that you were alone?”

“We’re not alone.”, Vanessa said, “We’re here with each other.”

“I mean. There are no guys with you.”

“As I said, we’re here with each other. We might dance with you, but we’re not interested.”

“Oh come on. Four good looking girls like you without guys.”

“Well, Paul.”, Vanessa said. Then pointing at Sam, she said, “This is Sandy, she’s a lesbian.” Pointing at Toshi, she said, “This is Tammy, she’s also a lesbian.” Pointing at Angela, she said, “This is Amy, we’re not sure about her.” And, showing them her engagement ring, said, “I’m Vicki, and I’m bi, and engaged. Now, as I said we’re here with each other. And, you just don’t have the right equipment.”

Sam looked at Toshi, and she was covering her mouth trying to hide a smile. Angela was just staring at the three guys.

Paul looked at his two buddies, and said, “Sorry guys. I was wrong. Lets go.” And, the three turned, and walked away.

Angela said to Vanessa, “That was a new way to get rid of unwanted guys. I would have never thought of it.”

“A friend told me about it. You just have to be very forceful when you tell them. And, it works most of the time.”

“You guys aren’t lesbians are you?”

“No. Fully heterosexual. You are, aren’t you Samantha?”, Vanessa said with a grin.

“No. I love you.”, Sam said, and tried to kiss Vanessa, “I love you very much.”

And, everyone broke up laughing. Vanessa, Toshi, and Samantha, because they new about Sam. And, Angela because she just thought it was funny.

They hung out at the club until almost two in the morning. Angela finally said that she had to go, and our three girls said that they might as well go too. Angela had a car, and offered to take everyone home. They took her up on the offer. They dropped off Vanessa and Sam first, at Vanessa’s house. Then she took Toshi home.

Vanessa and Sam spent a little while getting undressed, removing Sam’s breasts, and the makeup. It was after three when they finally crawled into bed. Sam was so tired that he even forgot about the nightgown. Vanessa’s mom and dad’s flight was due at four in the afternoon, so they figured that they could sleep in.

“Sam. Sam. Honey. Wake up. I heard something downstairs.”, Vanessa whispered, shaking Sam awake.

“Sure you did. Just like two weeks ago.”, Sam joking said.

“No really. Listen.”

The tone in her voice told Sam that she was serious. He listened, and did hear something downstairs. He jumped up, found his pants, looked at the clock, and it was seven-thirty. He headed out the bedroom door, and down the steps. He only made it four steps down the stairs, and stopped dead in his tracks. Vanessa’s mom was standing at the bottom of the steps.

“Mrs. Martin!”, Sam said in surprise.

“Sam!”, Mrs. Martin said, also in surprise.

“Mom. What are you doing home?”, Vanessa said from behind Sam.

“It’s more like, what’s Sam doing here young lady?”

Just then Mr. Martin walked up behind his wife. And, was surprise at seeing Sam.

“Mom . . . Mom . . . I can explain.”

“I sure hope so young lady. Into the den with both of you.”

“Yes, ma’am.”, Sam replied.

Vanessa and Sam finished walking down the steps, and followed Vanessa’s parents into the den. Her mom indicated for them to sit on the couch, and they did. “All right young lady. What’s going on?”

“I’m sorry.”, Vanessa said, and the tears started. “It’s all my fault. I was scarred the first night you were gone, I called Sam, and he came over. We spent the night here in the den. Then I talked him into spending every night here.”

“But, in your bed? Not in the den.”

“Yes.”

“I trusted you. I’m not surprised that you’re having sex. But, I trusted you to take care of the house, and that meant not having visitors. Young man?”

“Yes ma’am?”

“I think you need to go home, now.”

“Yes ma’am.”, Sam answered, as he got up, and went upstairs to get his clothes. He heard Vanessa say, “Can I say good bye to him?” And, her mother say, “No. You can talk to him later.”

Sam walked home very slowly, trying to figure out what to do. When he got there, he just sat on the steps for a long time. Finally he walked in the house, and his mom was the first to see him, and she asked, “Sam. What’s wrong?”

He looked at her for a minute, and said, “Vanessa and I are in trouble.”

“Sit down, and tell me.”

Sam, and his mom sat in the kitchen, and he told her the whole story.

She said, “Honey. Don’t worry too much. I had a talk with Vanessa’s mother when the two of you went to pick up Toshi. And, we both knew that she wouldn’t end up spending the night with Toshi. We’ve both known that you’ve been sexually active for quite a while, and I think she may be more upset about you spending so many nights with Vanessa. I should be, but I understand your love for each other. You should wait until you’re married, but your father and I didn’t. So, I guess I shouldn’t expect you to.”

“You and dad?”

“Yes. We felt about each other, just like you and Vanessa feel. And, we couldn’t wait either.”

“I just hope we haven’t blown it with her mom and dad.”

“I don’t think so.”

About an hour later, the phone rang. Masumi answered it, “Hello” . . . “Hi honey. Yes, just a minute.” . . . “Sam, it’s Vanessa.”

Sam took the phone, and said, “Hi.” . . . “Yea. I can do that.” . . . “By the oak tree, in an hour.” . . . “Okay. Love you too. Bye.”

“Everything all right?”, Masumi asked.

“I think. I’m going to meet her in the park in an hour. We’ll see.”

An hour later Sam was standing by the old oak tree. And, he watched Vanessa walk toward him. She walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and just hugged him. He finally whispered, “Is everything all right?”

“Yes. My mom and I had a big fight. But, I think that’s over. Lets sit.”

They sat down at the base of the oak, as they had done many time before. Sam still loved the smell of her hair. They sat there, quietly, for a long time, before Vanessa said, “My mom and I really got into it. I even threatened to move out, and get an apartment.”

“An apartment?”

“Yea. She was madder about me having you spend every night, than anything else. She said she knew that we had been having sex. We yelled at each other for a while. But, believe it or not, my dad came to my rescue.”

“Your dad?”

“Yea. He reminded mom how they felt about each other when they were our age, and what they did. And, that they would have jumped at a chance to spend two weeks together. She finally calmed down, and we had a talk about a number of things. She actually said, that you could move in with us. My dad raised his eyebrow at that.”

“I’ll go pack.”

“Sam!”

“I’m kidding. I’d love that. But, not yet. Maybe in a year or two.”

She turned around, knelt between his legs, said, “I love you.”, and kissed him.

Then he just held her for a long time. They got up, and started walking, hand in hand, through the park. He asked, “Why were they home so early?”

“They had a chance to catch a red eye flight, and be home early. And, they took it. Then, instead of calling me, they took a cab home.”

“That was a somewhat unpleasant surprise.”

“Very. But, I think everything is fine.”

“I hope.”

Two weeks later, there was a house full at the twin’s home. Masumi’s family from Japan had arrived. Only Sofu was staying at the house, the others had rooms at a nearby hotel. What Vanessa liked, was that Aiko and Kioko were a lot of fun, and she could practice her Japanese. Taro, and David, Toshi’s boyfriend, hit it off.

Along with all the normal sight seeing in Washington. There was an engagement party for all the family and friends of Sam and Vanessa. They had it at a shelter in the park that the kids loved so much. It was at the end of this party, when everyone but family had left, that Vanessa hit Sam with something completely unexpected. They were talking about the wedding. When out of the blue, Vanessa said, “I know my parents want to have a traditional Methodist wedding. But . . . I would also love to have a Shinto ceremony.”

“You want a Shinto ceremony instead of a Methodist one?”, Aiko asked.

“I’d really like to have both. And, I hope that Japanese part of my family can be here.”

“That would be so nice.”, Masumi said.

“We wouldn’t miss it.”, Akio added.

Vanessa said in broken Japanese, “I love you guys.”

As Vanessa and Sam were walking home, Sam said, “You really surprised me with wanting to have a Shinto ceremony.”

“I’ve been reading a lot about it, and I think it would be a great way to really become part of your family.”

“You are something else. But, one question?”

“What?”

“Which one of us gets to wear the wedding kimono?”

She playfully hit him in the arm, and said, “Me. Silly.”

The remainder of the two weeks flew by, and Masumi’s family was back in Japan. Sam was beginning to feel very comfortable when he was Samantha. And, there were a number of times that Samantha and Vanessa went out. And, Vanessa just loved it when Samantha was there. It was like having a girlfriend, who had to be taught how to shop, how to do makeup, how to shop, how act like a girl, how to shop. Shopping? Sam’s closet now had more girl’s things, than boys.

That fall, Sam and Vanessa took Toshi back to M.I.T. for her sophomore year. After they had unloaded all of her boxes, less than last year. She had learned. They went out for dinner, and just sat and talked. They took Toshi back to her dorm, and then went to their motel. That night, Sam and Vanessa just cuddled up in bed. He held her for a long time, before both they both fell asleep.

The following morning, surprisingly Sam was up before Vanessa, but he had a surprise for her. He had brought along another suit case that she hadn’t noticed. He took that into the bathroom with him, and after his shower, he became Samantha. He had packed some of Samantha’s things, a wig, the padded pantie, a bra, the breast forms, two different blouses, a skirt, a pair of jeans shorts, and his favorite pair of sandals with a two-inch heel. He spent some time getting his makeup just so, the wig styled to frame his face, and the proper choice of clothes. He chose a blue print peasant blouse, and the shorts. Also, he painted his toe nails, and finger nails, with Vanessa favorite color, a pink coral.

He put on the watch that Toshi had given him, and a necklace that Vanessa had given him on his last birthday. It was a present to his feminine side. He removed a stud from each ear, and replaced them with a pair of earrings that were made from silver and turquoise, and they hung down almost to his shoulders. He just loved the feeling of earrings dangling from his earlobes. Last came a couple of rings. One matched the earrings, the other looked a lot like an engagement ring.

As he was coming out of the bathroom, Vanessa was just waking up. She rolled over, saw him, and smiled, as he said, “Good morning sleepyhead.”

“Good morning Samantha. This is a surprise.”

“I thought it might be fun to drive home as Samantha.”

“I’d love that.”

“Better get a move on it. We are supposed to pick Toshi up in half an hour for breakfast.”

“You were hogging the bathroom.”

“We could have shared.”

“Two girls in that small bathroom? I don’t think so.”

He helped her up, and she kissed him. Then she said, “Oops. I don’t want to smear your lipstick.”

“Don’t worry. I got a semipermanent kind, just for situations like this.” And, he kissed her again, long, and hard.

They picked Toshi up, had a nice leisurely breakfast, and talked. Toshi could sense that Sam was very comfortable sitting there looking like a young woman. And, that Vanessa was just as comfortable with it. And, that made her happy.

The trip back to Washington was uneventful. They stopped for lunch, and dinner, and were treated just like two women. At dinner, Vanessa said, “I like that ring on your left hand.”

“It is pretty, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It looks almost like an engagement ring.”

“It’s supposed to.”

“Oh?”

“I figured that it would help keep guys from hitting on me.”

“Good idea.”

“It wasn’t mine. Mom came up with it.”

When they arrived back in Washington, they stopped first at the twin’s house. And, when Sam and Vanessa walked into the house, there was no reaction from Masumi or Miyuki, as to how he was dressed. It was just like it was normal.

Samantha changed back to Sam before walking Vanessa home. And, as the walked, she asked, “How did it feel, being Samantha all day? You looked very comfortable.”

“I was, but it’s hard to describe. It felt good. A little strange for that length of a time. But, good. It was interesting that everyone treated me as a woman. And, I’m still surprised that you put up with it like you do. I think your acceptance will always amaze me.”

“Everyone treats you like a woman, because you act like a woman. You’ve become very sure of yourself. I’ve noticed that when you’re dressed as Samantha, you are different. You walk differently, you talk differently, you act differently. You actually change from a masculine Sam, to a feminine Samantha. It’s like two different people. And, I love both of them very much. The both of you make me very happy.”

The following three years of college went just fine for our three. Vanessa and Sam moved into an apartment together at the end of their junior year, with the blessings of both of their parents. And, they had decided to marry in late summer, after their senior year, so that everyone could be there.

When graduation came, Toshi graduated toward the top of her class at M.I.T. Vanessa graduated with a degree in education. And, Sam graduated with his pre-law degree. The following year, Sam planned on attending the law school at Georgetown. Vanessa was going to teach, and work on her Masters. In fact Vanessa applied for, and was given a teaching position at a school that the children of the staff of various embassies used.

The day after Toshi was home from college, she and Vanessa went shopping for a wedding gown. And, Sam pouted when they wouldn’t let him go along.

The weddings were scheduled for mid August. And, the week before was a mad house, as there were going to be two ceremonies. One on Friday evening, and one on Saturday afternoon. The Friday ceremony was going to be the Shinto ceremony, and Saturday’s the church wedding. As they had promised, Masumi’s family had flown in from Japan.

The Shinto ceremony was held in the same park that the engagement party was held at. Per tradition the whole wedding party was in kimonos’. Vanessa was wearing Masumi’s white wedding kimono, and headdress. Masumi, Miyuki, and Toshi, had spent most of the afternoon at Vanessa’s house getting her, and themselves ready. Everyone met at the shelter, and then followed the priest to the oak tree, where the shrine had been set up. It was interesting that the ceremony drew a large crowd from the regulars at the park.

After the ceremony, they retired to the shelter, for a small reception. When Sam and Vanessa arrived back at the shelter, she removed the white kimono, and was wearing Masumi’s ornate red and white kimono. During the reception, Miyuki walked up to the newly weds with an older Japanese gentleman, who was dressed very formally.

Miyuki said, “Vanessa and Sam. I would like you to meet an old friend, Mr. Takahashi.”

Vanessa and Sam bowed very deeply to Mr. Takahashi, and said in unison, "Douzo yoroshiku, Takahashi sama." (Authors note: Douzo yoroshiku is a formal 'Nice to meet you'. And, sama is a polite Mr).

Mr. Takahashi, returned the bow, and greeting.

Miyuki continued, “Mr. Takahashi, is a very special guest. He is the Japanese Ambassador to the United Nation, and he use to work in the embassy here in Washington. He was kind enough to come to the wedding as a special favor to me.”

Miyuki left the wedding couple and Mr. Takahashi to talk. He was impressed that Vanessa wanted to have a Shinto wedding ceremony. And, she explained that she felt that it would help her become a member of Sam’s family. They talked a for a few more minutes. Then, Mr. Takahashi excused himself with a bow, and saying, “Go-kekkon omedetou gozaimasu.” (Congratulations on your wedding.) Then in English added, “I need to speak with your father before I leave.” Sam looked at him a little surprised. And, Vanessa looked at him with a little puzzlement. The three bowed, and said “Sayonara.”

As he walked away, Vanessa turned to Sam, and said, “He doesn’t know my father.”

“I know.”, Sam replied.

Vanessa noticed a strange look on Sam’s face. And, asked, “What did he mean?”

“I . . . I’m not sure.”

“Honey. What’s going on?”

“Don’t be mad. But, I can’t tell you right now.”

“Why?”

“I just can’t.”

Vanessa just looked at Sam, and could see a little look of worry come over him, and asked, “What is wrong?”

“Nothing, I hope. I need to talk to my mom for a minute. Do you mind?”

“I don’t mind, as long as you’re going tell me what’s going on.”

“I hope I can. I’ll be right back.”

Sam left Vanessa, luckily Aiko and Kioko walked up, and started chatting with her. But, Vanessa watched as Sam found his mom, and they talked. Sam was back with her in a few minutes, and Vanessa saw Sam’s mom walk up to Miyuki and Mr. Takahashi, and talk with them.

Sam didn’t say anything to Vanessa, but also watched the conversation. After a couple of minutes, Mr. Takahashi turned toward the couple, and bowed. More people walked up to the couple to talk to them. So, Vanessa didn’t get a chance to talk to Sam right away.

Around nine-thirty, the couple decided it was time to leave, they said their goodbyes to everyone, and left by limousine for Vanessa’s parents home. They were spending their wedding night there, because of the second ceremony on Saturday. As they pulled away from the park, Vanessa asked. “Alright. What is going on?”

“Lets wait till we get to your parents, then I tell you.”

She just frowned at him.

When they arrived at Vanessa’s, they went to her room, and Sam was going to carry her across the threshold. She said, “Not until you tell me what’s going on.”

He looked at her, pointed to the bedroom, and said, “It would be easier in there. It may take awhile.”

“All right. But, this had better be good.”

He picked her up, carried her into her bedroom, and carefully set her down on her bed. He went to kiss her, and she said, “Please tell me.”

He sat her on the bed, next to her, and said, “You remember that I told you my dad worked for that government agency that was known for clandestine things. And, how he went on an assignment, and never returned?”

“Yes.”

“Well, that’s not entirely the truth.”

“Oh.”

“But, first you have to promise me, that this will go no farther. It’s very important that it doesn’t.”

“Okay. It won’t go any farther.”

“Promise?”

“I promise.”

“And, I mean no further. My dad did work for that agency. And, they had an assignment for him . . .”

He went on to tell her how that his dad was also a crossdresser, and was very good at becoming a very passable Japanese woman. That the agency was aware of it, and it didn’t seem to bother them. They came up with a clandestine assignment for him, inside the Japanese embassy. But, that he had to do it as a female. And, be undetectable. How he had the surgery to change his appearance to that of a woman, and completed the assignment.

She sat there almost in disbelief as he told her the story. Then as he finished, he watched as she started getting a smile on her face, and said, “Aunt Mi.”

He just nodded yes.

She started asking questions. Starting with “How long have you known?”

“Since I was about thirteen.”

“So, even though you knew your dad was there. You couldn’t interact with him as your dad. That must have been hard on you?”

“At times. But, it was okay, knowing what he had done.”

“It didn’t bother you, and Toshi, that the kids were always talking about your mom and Aunt Mi being lesbians?”

“It did, until they told us about dad. Then we had a family secret, and we just smiled when anyone said anything. You, Sue, and Paul were the best. You didn’t seem to care.”

“We didn’t. I think the three of us shared a, live and let live kind of thing. Do you think Aunt Mi would talk to me about it?”

“She might. Just ask her. Enough questions for how, Mrs. Gifford.”

She looked at him, got a big smile, and said, “I love the sound of that. Mr. Gifford.”

“And, I love you, Mrs. Gifford.”

“I love you, too. Help me take my kimono off?”

She didn’t have to ask twice. He helped her remove the various parts, and carefully fold them. When she was down to the last slip, she slowly removed it, and was standing there in a very pretty white lace satin bra, and matching thong. He just looked at her, smiled, and said, “You’re beautiful.”

That night they consummated their marriage.

There was a knocking at their bedroom door, followed by Toshi’s voice saying, “Come on sleepyheads it getting late. And, we have a lot to do.” Followed quickly by another knock, and a “Come on. Up you two.”

Sam rolled over, looked at the clock, and it was eight o’clock. He rolled back over, and said, “Okay. Okay. We’ll be right down.”

Vanessa looked at him, and said, “What time is it?”

“It’s eight.”

The rest of Saturday morning was spent in a flurry of activity in preparation for the afternoon wedding ceremony. Sam went home to get ready. Toshi, Aiko, Kioko, and Sue, rushed Vanessa around getting ready. They all had hair appointments. Then, it took them hours getting Vanessa, and themselves just so. Toshi was Vanessa maid of honor, and the other three were her bride’s maids.

The church ceremony was scheduled for three-thirty, and it almost started on time. Sam stood at the front of the church. The music started, and after the bride’s maids, and maid of honor made their way down the aisle, with Sam’s grooms’ men, the Wedding March started. Vanessa, escorted by her father, started down the isle. Sam smiled, she was wearing a very simple, but elegant, satin gown, and a beautiful veil. Her bouquet was made of all wild flowers.

The ceremony was fairly short, and there was a dinner reception for them at a near by party center. Most of the people that were at the Shinto wedding on Friday, were also that this ceremony. And, again at around nine-thirty, the couple decided to leave. They said goodnight to everyone, especially Masumi’s family, as they would be gone when the couple arrived back from their honeymoon. Toshi gave Vanessa, an especially big hug, and whispered, “Big sister, take good care of our little sister.”

“Don’t you worry sis. I will.”

The limousine took the couple to a hotel just outside the airport, and they went to their room. Sam picked Vanessa up again, carried her across the threshold, and carefully deposited her in the room. She asked, “Got any more secrets, Mr. Gifford?”

“None that I know of, Mrs. Gifford.”

She kissed him, smiled, and as she turned her back to him, she said, “Good, I don’t think I could take any more. Would you help me out of this dress?”

He carefully unbuttoned the many buttons down the back of the dress, and about a dozen on each sleeve. She stepped out of the dress, he picked it up, and carefully placed it over a chair. She turned, faced him, and allowed her slip to drop to the floor. She was standing there in a red satin lace bra, matching thong, garter belt, white stockings, and four inch white satin pumps. Sam smiled, and said, “You’re gorgeous. But, why not white?”

“It’s my second wedding.”, Vanessa said, with a grin, “I shouldn’t have worn a white dress.”

He just shook his head.

She walked back over to him, kissed him again, and said, “There’s a present over on the desk for you.”

He looked over at the desk, and there was a box wrapped in pretty pink wrapping, with a white ribbon. He looked at her, walked over, and picked up the box.

“Go on. Open it.”, she said.

He carefully unwrapped the box, and removed the lid. Inside was the twin to what she was wearing. A red satin lace bra, matching thong, garter belt, and white stockings.

She added, “I thought we could be twins tonight.”

Again, he just shook his head.

“I’ll go get ready for bed, and you can change. Be ready when I get back.” She turned and walked into the bathroom.

She was back out in about five minutes. Sam was standing there in the bra, thong, garter belt, and white nylons. That night, they consummated their second wedding.

They were gone for about a week, on a honeymoon to the Carribean. When they came back to their apartment, it looked like the Toshi gang had been there. The apartment was completely decorated in ribbons, and bows. And, most of the kitchen drawers were filled with rice. They vowed that she would pay.

Sam’s first semester of law school started, and as law school can be, it was very stressful. Vanessa continued to work at the school attended by children from the various embassies in Washington, and attended night school working on her masters. But, Samantha had been missing for about the first six weeks of the semester.

One evening after class, Vanessa came home, and found Sam staring out the front window of the apartment. Toshi had told her, when Sam was troubled he would just stare out a window, deep in thought. She walked up behind him, and wrapped her arms around him. She just held him for awhile, before saying, “Honey. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“Sam. I know better. Toshi told me about your window thing.”

“My window thing?”

“That when something is bothering you, you will stare out the window.”

“Oh.”

“So. What’s wrong?”

“Law school.”

“Law school?”

“Yea. The stress is really starting to get to me.”

“You knew it was hard.”

“I know. But, some of these profs . . . ”

“Hmm.” Vanessa’s mind was working. “Honey. Why don’t we go for a walk? It might help.”

“Yea. It just might.”

They just started walking to no place in particular. Just walking. After awhile, they were in their favorite park, and ended up at the oak tree. Vanessa said, “Lets sit for a minute.” Sam sat down, and helped Vanessa sit in her usual place, between his legs. They sat there for about ten minutes, before Vanessa said, “Honey. You need to relax. I can feel the tension. You know, since school started Samantha hasn’t been around much. Just at bed time.”

“Yea. I know. I walk into the closet, see all of her things, and just wonder.”

“Wonder about what?”

“Where she is.”

“She hasn’t left. Has she?”

“Oh, no. She’s still here. It just that she hasn’t wanted to come out of the closet.”

“Think it might help if she does? You know she always helped you relax in the past.”

“Yea. Maybe this weekend.”

Vanessa thought, ‘He seems so down. I’ve got to do something to get him out of this.’

They walked back home hand in hand, not talking. Sam went into the den, and Vanessa made a telephone call.

Early Saturday afternoon, the doorbell rang at the apartment. Vanessa knew who it was, or was supposed to be. She opened the door, and as expected there stood Toshi. And, someone else. Vanessa looked at Toshi, with a questioning look.

“You remember Angela, don’t you?”, Toshi said.

“Yes. Of course. But, I thought . . . “

“She’s cool. In fact, she’ll be a really big help with this. Besides there’s something that we have to tell you, and Sam.”

“Come on in.”

Toshi and Angela followed Vanessa into the apartment. Angela was carrying a rather large case, which she set down just inside the door.

Vanessa asked, “I thought we were going to . . . You know, Samantha? Down in the dumps.”

“Nessa. It’s cool. Angela does makeup and hair for one of the local theater groups. And, I thought you know who would like a complete make over. You know how things like that make a girl feel. And, besides she knows about Sam’s other side.”

“A make over could just be a good thing. How does she know about Sam?”

“I told her. And, she thought it would be fun.”

“Yea. Toshi told me.”, Angela added, “And, I think it’s really cool. And, a make over can do wonders for a girl.”

“Is Sam here?”, Toshi asked.

“He’ll be back in about fifteen minutes. I thought we could talk, while he’s gone.”

“What’s going on?”

“He’s really been under stress at school. Some of the law professors are really something, and put it to the first year students. And, it’s really gotten to him. And, for some reason, Samantha hasn’t really been around for weeks. To top it off, he’s been doing the window thing.”

“The window thing?”, Angela asked.

“Yea. When he’s stressed or depressed, he’ll stand and stare out a window, deep in thought.”, Toshi said.

“Holds it in. Not good.”

“No, it’s not. We have to get him out of this funk, before it affects his school work, or us.”, Vanessa said.

“Toshi says that he likes to crossdress, and looks fairly good.”

“Yea. . . . Not too many people know about it, and we would like to keep it that way.”

“Toshi’s already told me that. And, it’s our secret. I’ve heard that a lot of guys crossdress to relax. Sure is a lot better than drinking or drugs.”

“Yea. It can also be a lot of fun.”

“Lets see what we can do. What did you have in mind?”

“I was going to try and get him dressed as Samantha, and go out. Maybe to dinner, and a show.”

“How about if I do a complete make over on him. We’ll treat him like he’s in a spa, and go the whole nine yards on the makeup, hair, nails, clothes, etc.. Then I know of a great place to go. Toshi and I’ll have to go and change, and you’ll need to dress up, but it will be fun.”

“Where?”

“Let it be my secret?”

“Toshi?”, Vanessa asked.

“Sounds like a plan to me.”, Toshi said.

“If it helps him. I’m all for it.”

“How much body hair does he have?”, Angela asked.

“A little, not much.”

“Okay. The first thing, we need to do is get rid of the body hair. Then he needs to soak in a nice warm bath, with some body oils that I have. Then we’ll go from there.”

“Sounds like you’ve done this before?”

“No. But, I know to make a woman feel good. Does he have anything in clothing, that’s really dressy and sexy?”

“He has a number of things. Even a set of clothes for clubbing.”

“No. Not club clothes. Something, classy, and sexy.”

“He has a little black dress, with see through sleeves, and a low scooped neck.”

“Perfect. Don’t forget jewelry, and a sexy pair of shoes.”

Just then Sam walked in the door, and said, “Toshi. Hi. And, . . . Angela. Right?”

“Right.”, Angela responded.

“What are you guys up to? You have a look that worries me.”

“Remember you said that Samantha might come and visit this weekend?”, Vanessa said.

“Yea.” Sam looked at Vanessa a little puzzled, then at Angela, then back at Vanessa.

“She’s cool. She wants to meet Samantha.”

“In fact. Angela here, does a great job with makeup and hair. And, wants to give Samantha a complete make over.”, Toshi added.

“Why?”, Sam asked.

“Because, honey. You are so tense, that we feel that Samantha needs to visit, maybe for the whole weekend.”, Vanessa said.

“But, I was going to . . . “

“Was is the word. You need to relax, and Samantha is the one that can help you do that.”

“I . . . “

“Lover. You don’t have a choice.”

He looked at each of the three girls in turn, then back at Vanessa, and said, “It looks like I’m out numbered.”

“Right, little sister. Four to nothing.”, Toshi said.

“Vanessa. Why don’t you do the first thing we talked about? I’ve got a couple of other things in the car that I need. Then we can get her in a nice warm tub for a soak.”, Angela said, as she headed for the door.

Vanessa took Sam’s hand, and led him toward the bathroom. He followed without question.

Forty-five minutes later, he was standing in the bedroom, wearing only a thong, and Angela was looking him over. She, said to no one in particular, “This will be easy.” Then she turned to Vanessa, and asked, “By some slight chance he doesn’t have breast forms, does he?”

“Yes he does.”, Vanessa answered. She walked over to the chest of drawers, and got them, and handed them to Angela.

“Good. Has he ever had them attached?”

“Yes. Once.”

“I’ve got some really good adhesive with me. So, we’ll attach them again.”

Angela had Sam lay on the bed, and attached the breast forms to his chest. She went one step further than Vanessa had, and carefully went around the edges with the adhesive to be sure that they were firmly attached. When she was happy with the job, she offered her hand to Sam to help him up, and said, “All right, Samantha girl. Lets get you a make over.”

Angela was a professional. The first thing she did was applying a heavier makeup around where the forms were attached. And, when she was done, you couldn’t tell where the forms ended and Sam started. Then she let Sam put a bra on. With the help of Vanessa and Toshi, Sam was given the works. His body was moisturized from the neck down. Vanessa gave him a pedicure. Toshi gave him a manicure, with some nail extensions. And, Angela started with a complete facial, then very carefully applied makeup. When she was done, not even Vanessa recognized him. It was a complete new look.

“How about a wig?”, Angela asked.

“He has one that he really likes.”, Toshi said.

“Let me see.”

Vanessa retrieved it from their closet.

Angela held it up, looked at it, and shook her head, saying, “Nice. But, just won’t do. Girls’ what do you think of auburn instead of the black?”

“Might work? Do you have one?”, Vanessa asked.

“Of course.”, Angela said, retrieving a wig from a box. It was a shoulder length one, and human hair like Sam’s other one. Angela placed a wig cap on Sam’s head, carefully tucked his hair under it, placed the wig on his head, and carefully bobby pinned it in place. She spent a long time styling it, and actually trimmed it a little.

She stood back, and said, “Well girls, what do you think?”

Toshi stood there, looked at what one time was Sam, and said, “Samantha. You have never looked so good.”

Vanessa said, “Girlfriend welcome back. Angela, you did wonders.”

“Can I see?”, Sam asked.

“Sure.”, Angela said.

He turned, looked in the dressing table mirror, and turned his head from side to side. The three girls could see a smile start to grow on his face. He turned, looked at Angela, and said, “I thought my mom did good work. But, this is wonderful.”

Vanessa felt Sam start to relax for the first time, in a long time.

“Where are we going for dinner?”, Toshi asked.

“We’re going out?”, Sam asked.

“If you think we went to all this work, so that you can just sit around the apartment. You’ve got another think coming, little sister.”

“Sorry, sis. Don’t get mad.”

Vanessa said, “I know just the place, McGiver’s. Do you two want to meet us there, or change, and come back here?”

“Why don’t we meet you there around seven.”, Toshi said.

“Sounds good to me.”

Just before six Sam and Vanessa got dressed. Both classy and sexy. Along with the dress, Sam wore black nylons, a pair of three inch black heels with rhinestones on them, that set off the dress nicely. Around his neck he wore a black cameo choker. On his hands, a couple of rings, and a woman’s watch.

They arrived at McGiver’s just after Toshi and Angela. As they were shown their table, those that watched them walk through the restaurant saw four very pretty, well dressed, young women. All dressed for a night out.

As they were paying their check, Angela said, “Good, we’ll be in plenty of time for the nine o’clock show.”

“Just where are we going?”, Samantha asked.

“It’s a secret. Lets leave your car here, and take mine.”

The four got into Angel’s car. A very new, high end, four door sedan. And, headed out. It wasn’t long before they were pulling into a pay lot. And, walking down the street toward a couple of clubs.

“We’re not going to Ziegfeld's. Are we?”, Samantha asked.

“What if we are?”, Angela answered back.

“I’ve heard that some drag queens don’t like crossdressers. And, it can get ugly.”

“Who’s a crossdresser?”

“Uh. Me.”

“No way!”

“Stop fooling around.”

“Look. There are four girls here. Me, Toshi, Vanessa, and you. And, I dare anyone to prove different. In fact, if I wasn’t taken, I’d hit on you myself.”

“There’s something between my legs that says different.”

“And, who the hell is going to see that?”

“No one but me had better see it.”, Vanessa piped in.

“See. No one is going to read you as anything other than a girl. Besides, the queens here are nice. I’ve never heard of any problems. So, would you relax and enjoy yourself.”

“I’ll try.”

The four paid the cover charge, and somehow found a table. They ordered drinks, sat, and people watched for awhile.

Angela said to Samantha, “She that girl over there?”

“Yea.”

“Guy.”

Samantha looked a little closer, and said, “You’re right. And, so is the one standing next to her.”

“You’re good.”

At around nine, a very good drag show started, and ran till about ten-thirty. Some of the girls were done up in very heave makeup, and some looked very good. Most of the show was the girls lip syncing to recorded songs. There was one girl that actually sang, and she sounded really good. Our four girls stayed till about eleven, and then headed back to pick up Vanessa’s and Samantha’s car. As they pulled into the restaurant parking lot, Toshi said, “I know it’s getting late. But, do you mind if we stop by the apartment, and talk.”

“Sis. You know you’re always welcome.”, Samantha said.

On the drive home, Vanessa was quiet. And, as they parked the car, Sam asked, “Honey. Is something wrong?”

“No. No, I don’t think so.”

The four walked into the apartment together, and into the kitchen. As, Vanessa, Toshi, and Angela sat, Samantha fix tea, and served it. Toshi’s comment was, “Little sister, you’re becoming very domestic.” Which got her a glare from Samantha.

As Samantha sat down, he said, “So, what’s up sis?”

“Angela and I need to talk to you guys.”, Toshi said, “It’s important, and we feel that you guys are a good sounding board.”

“You and Angela are an item. Right?”, Vanessa said.

“Ah . . . Yea. But, . . . how did you know?”

“Just a guess, after Angela’s comment.”

“What comment?”

“When she said to Sam, ‘In fact, if I wasn’t taken, I’d hit on you myself.’ I knew she wasn’t talking about Sam, but Samantha.”

“What do you mean an item?”, Sam asked.

“You’re lovers. Right guys?”

Toshi looked at Sam with tears in her eyes, and nodded yes.

“You’re gay?”, Sam asked.

“Not really. I’m bi.”, Toshi responded.

“And, Angela . . .”

“Yes. She’s my lover.”

“How?”

“Remember when we met her at the club, when we went clubbing that one time?”

“Yea.”

“And, she took us home?”

“Yea.”

“After she dropped you and Nessa off, she took me home. But, when we got there, we sat, and talked for a while. One thing led to another, and she kissed me. Not on the cheek, but on the lips. Then, and at that time I didn’t know why, I kissed her back. A long deep kiss. Over time, things got deeper and deeper, and we became lovers. We needed to tell someone, and you guys are . . . Well, you guys are just wonderful, and we hoped that you would understand.”

“What about David?”

“That’s part of the problem. He doesn’t know. And, I still love him. Angela of course knows this, and understands.”

“What about mom, and Aunt Mi?”

“No. That’s the other problem. I just don’t know what to do. I need your help. Yours and Nessas’. You two are very special to me, and I love the both of you. And, I can only hope that you understand.”

Sam sat back in his chair, and sat there, looking at Toshi, for a long time without saying anything. There was a look of concern on Toshi’s face. She wasn’t sure how Sam was taking this.

Finally Angela said, “You hate me. Don’t you?”

Vanessa said, “No, honey. We don’t hate you. I think Sam is trying to figure out the best way to approach this.”

Sam nodded yes. And, finally said, “Sis. You remember that you told me that I needed to be up front with Nessa about my crossdressing?”

“Uh huh.”

“I think you need to be up front with everyone, mom, Aunt Mi, and David.”

“That scares me.”

“Why?”

“I’m afraid that everyone will abandon me.”

“Little sister.”, Vanessa said, “Your mother loves you very much. She will probably be hurt at first, but she will eventually understand. The same with your Aunt Mi, and I think you know why. David on the other hand, I don’t know how he’ll take it. It just depends on his makeup, and if he’s willing to share you, like it appears Angela is.”

“How about you guys?”

“Sis.”, Sam said, “We’ve been through a lot together. And, we’re here for you. Yea, it was a shock just now. And, I don’t know why I didn’t sense it. But, you love who you love. Can you love two people the same, at the same time, probably? But, we are here for you no matter what.”

The four sat and talked for a long time. Finally Toshi said, “Angela and I had better get going.”

“Honey. It’s three in the morning.” Vanessa said, “Just stay here tonight. I’ll make Sam get up early, call mom, and tell her that we were out late. And, we made you stay here.”

“Oh. From the frying pan, into the fire.”, Sam quipped. Vanessa hit him in the arm.

“I’ll be going then.”, Angela said.

“Angela. You’re welcome to stay, too.”, Vanessa said.

“You mean that sis?”, Toshi asked.

“I said it. Didn’t I.”

“What about Sam?”, Toshi asked, looking at Sam.

“No problem here.”, Sam answered.

“You guys are the best.”

Sam and Vanessa let the two girls have the bedroom, and they cuddled on the couch. Sam didn’t sleep much, but sat and tried to figure out how his mom was going to react. About seven-thirty Sunday morning, Sam called his mom, told her that they had gotten back late, and that they insisted that Toshi spent the night with them.

About noon, Toshi wandered into the livingroom. Sam and Vanessa had been up for a short time, and were just talking about some breakfast or really lunch. Sam was still in full Samantha mode, breast forms, wig, and all. Toshi and Vanessa decided that they would cook for the four of them, and Sam headed off to the bathroom.

Vanessa asked, “How long have you felt that you’ve liked girls in that way?”

“I’m not sure.”, Toshi answered, “But, I do know one thing.”

“What?”

“I felt something for you. Something more than friendship. But, I knew that there was something special between you and Sam, so I didn’t push it.”

“Was I the only one that you felt that way about?”

“Yea. Until we met up with Angela, and she came on to me. And, we just clicked. You mad?”

“No. Maybe a little flattered.”

“Really?”

“Yea. It’s nice to know that you’re loved.”

“You’re not . . . “

“No. But, I’ve always wondered why I felt about Samantha the way I do.”

“Have you ever done it with Sam completely dressed?”, Angela, who was standing in the kitchen door, said.

“Been eavesdropping?”, Vanessa said with a little anger in her voice.

“Sorry. But, I couldn’t help it.”

“To answer your question. No. We’ve never done that.”

“Might be interesting?”

“What might be interesting?”, Sam asked as he walked back into the kitchen.

“Oh . . . Ah . . . What mom’s going to say when we tell her about Angela and me.”, Toshi replied.

“What do you mean, we?”

“I was hoping that you and Nessa would be there.”, Toshi said, with a hopeful look on her face.

“That would cost you plenty.”

“It would be worth it.”

Over breakfast they discussed when to tell Masumi about Toshi and Angela. It was decided, the sooner the better. Toshi decided that she would tell her mom, and Aunt Mi, that night at dinner. After the dishes were done, Angela was going to take Toshi home. And, as they were leaving, Vanessa gave Toshi a hug, and said, “Everything will be fine. We love you.”

“Thanks, sis. I love you guys too.”

Vanessa even gave Angela a hug, and Angela whispered, “Try it.”

Sam hugged his sister, and said, “We’ll be there for you.”

And, Sam then hugged Angela, who whispered, “You really do make a very pretty girl.”

Sam actually blushed a little.

On the way back to the apartment, after dinner with Masumi, Miyuki, and Toshi, Vanessa and Sam were talking. Sam said, “That went a lot better than I thought it would.”

“I wasn’t surprised. Your family is very supportive of each other, and are willing to accept people for who they are. Your dad and you are a case in point. And, I think by your mother’s reaction that she may have suspected something.”

“You think she did? I wonder how David is going to take it?”

“Your mom is a very perceptive person. And, I bet it’s hard to hide anything from her. When’s she telling David?”

“One day this week.”

“I’ll bet we get a visit soon after,”

“Why?”

“I just have a feeling it won’t go well.”

“Oh.”

Sam and Vanessa arrived home shortly before nine. And, as they were walking into the apartment, Sam said, “Honey. Will you help get these forms off?”

“No.”

“No?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“I want Samantha tonight.”

“You want Samantha tonight. What brought this on?”

“I don’t know. I just want . . . want to see what it’s like to make love to you as Samantha.”

“All right. But, why?”

“It’s about the only thing that we’ve never done when you’ve been Samantha. I’ve kissed Samantha, hugged Samantha, cuddled with Samantha, and gone out with Samantha. And, I want to see what it’s like to have sex with Samantha.”

Samantha offered Vanessa her hand, and she took it. They walked into their bedroom, kissed deeply, and . . .

Awhile later they laid there cuddled together, and Samantha asked, “Well?”

“Well, what?”

“What was it like to have sex with Samantha?”

“Interesting. Different. You were actually softer and gentler than when you’re Sam, if that’s possible. I guess it’s just more of your feminine side coming out. I didn’t care for the forms. I couldn’t play with your nipples. But, on the other hand, it was interesting playing with them, they feel almost real. But, then, when you were in me. And, I looked up, saw Samantha’s face, but knew that it was really you, now that was different.”

“I could tell.”

“Oh?”

“You were also different. More . . . I don’t know. Just different.”

“Bad different.”

“Oh no. Good different. You just seemed to want more kissing, touching, and such. And, also it seemed that you wanted to give more. You’re right, it was different and interesting.”

They kissed, cuddled together, and fell asleep.

The next morning Vanessa was up before Sam. She had a day off from school. And, he had only afternoon classes. As she was fixing them a big breakfast, Sam joined her in the kitchen. He was still wearing the wig, and breast forms. And, there were remnants of makeup on his face. She turned, looked at him, and said, “Girlfriend. You need to learn to brush your hair when you get up. You look a sight.”

Sam felt his hair, and it did feel like it was a tangled mess. He said, as he walked back out of the kitchen, “I’ll be right back.”

He was back, just as Vanessa was putting breakfast on the table, and asked, “Is this better?”

“Much better love!” And, she gave him a kiss.

As they were eating, Sam asked, “So, you really liked making it with Samantha?”

“Yea. She’s got nice boobs. They do feel real.”, Vanessa answered with a grin.

“How do you know if they feel real?”

“I got a pair of my own to compare them to.”

“You want me to get real ones?”, Sam quipped back.

Vanessa got a surprised look on her face, and said, “No way!”

“Good. I like the removable kind myself.”

“Oh, God!”

“What?”

“Did Angela give you the remover for the glue she used?”

“No. Don’t you have it?”

“No.”

“I’ll call Toshi, and hopefully she can get a hold of Angela.”

Sam called Toshi. She said that she would try and get in touch with Angela, and call him back in fifteen minutes. About fifteen minutes later the phone rang. Sam answered it, “Hello.” . . . “What!?” . . . “You’re kidding! I hope!” . . . “That’s better. Half an hour. That’s fine.” . . . “You’ll pay for that.” . . . “Yea. Love you too. Bye.”

“What was that all about?”, Vanessa asked.

“Toshi playing games.”

“What?”

“She told me that Angela was out of the remover. But, that it would break down in a week or two, and they would fall off then.”

“Nice.”

“But, I could hear that little bit of laughter in her voice, so I figured that she was giving me a line. And, I was right. Angela will be here in about half an hour.”

On Wednesday, Sam and Vanessa were sitting in the den studying. Ever since the weekend Sam had been a little more relaxed. And, Vanessa would look over at him every once in awhile, and smile. She figured that if she could bring Samantha out more that he would really start to relax. At a little after seven there was a knock on the door. Vanessa went to answer it. She opened the door. It was Toshi, and the tears were streaming down her cheeks. Vanessa hugged her, held her, and let her cry. Sam finally walked over to the door, saw who it was, and asked, “What’s wrong.”

“I don’t know. She was standing here crying, and hasn’t said a word.”, Vanessa answered.

Vanessa carefully helped Toshi into the apartment, and to the den. She sat with her on the couch, and just held her. Sam was at a complete loss at what to do. It took Toshi a long time to calm down to where she could even begin to talk. And, all she could say was, “David. I told David.”

“You told David. You told David about you and Angela?”, Vanessa asked.

“Ye . . . Yea.”

“I was afraid of this.”

“Of what?”, Sam asked.

Vanessa hushed him. And, just held Toshi. Sam sat down, and put his hand on Toshi’s shoulder. She turned, and looked at him. Her eyes were red, and the tears were still flowing. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and continued to cry. He just held her. Vanessa got a cold cloth, and wiped her face. Finally she started to settle down.

“Honey. What happened?”, Vanessa asked.

“I . . . I told David, about Angela.”

“And?”

“He just looked at me, and said, ‘I never want to see you again.’ And, walked away from me. I ran after him, but he wouldn’t even look at me. I kept trying to get him to talk to me, and he wouldn’t. Finally he stopped, looked at me, and said, ‘I loved you. And, you cheated on me. Not with a guy, but with that slut Angela. A girl. You love a girl. You’re nothing but a slut. I want nothing more to do with you.’ He turned, and walked away. I watched him for a minute. Then, I ran all the way here.”

“Oh, honey. We’re so sorry. What can we do?”

“Just what you’re doing. Just being here.”

“You know we are.”

Toshi curled up on the couch, and fell asleep. Vanessa said to Sam, “I’m going to call mom, and tell her what happened. And, that Toshi is spending the night with us.”

“Good. I hope I never see David again!”

“You calm down. They hurt each other tonight, very badly, and Toshi doesn’t need that right now.”

“Sorry.”

“Get the afghan from the closet, and cover her. I’ll call mom.”

After that night Toshi and Angela became closer, and ended moving in together. Toshi’s family completely accepted the relationship.

Vanessa was able to bring Samantha out more, and Sam became his old self. More relaxed, and more sure of himself. They went back to having regular girls’ nights out. Some of them with Toshi and Angela. On one outing with them, Vanessa was talking with Angela about nothing in general, when Vanessa said, “I tried what you suggested.”

“What was that?”

“Having sex with Samantha.”

“I figured that you would.”

“That so.”

“Yea. I could tell that Samantha was a turn on for you. It’s not hard to tell. Just looking at your face when I did that one make over, gave it way. Did you like it.”

“Uh huh.”

“Only do it once?”

“No. It’s become almost a regular part of our love making. Especially after a night out, like this one. And, we had to get another set of breast forms, the glue is hard on them.”

“Have him get implants.”

“No. We’ve kidded about it. But, I still need to have my Sam.”

“You’d still have him, but with something added.”

“No. I love the all male him, as well as the almost all female her.”

“That’s a shame. He makes such a pretty girl.”

“He does. And, it’s fun changing him to her. I’ll keep it that way. And, her prefers it that way.”

About a month later, the four girls had been out again. And, had returned to Sam and Vanessa’s apartment, and were sitting at the kitchen table talking, when Vanessa said, “Toshi. Do you want a nice or nephew?”

“Huh?”

“Does Aunt Toshi want a nice or nephew?”

“Nessa you’re . . . you’re pregnant?”

“Uh huh. About four weeks.”

“What! Why didn’t you tell me?”, Samantha asked.

“I just did silly.”

“How long have you known?”

“I just found out yesterday.”

Eight months later Vanessa gave birth to a pretty little girl, she went on to finish her master degree in education, and a little over a year later she had a second baby, another girl. Toshi, went on to get her doctorate in mathematics, and she and Angela became active in the lesbian community. Sam earned his law degree, and eventually joined a Washington law firm that took on the harder cases, the ones that no one else wanted. He came out to his law partner as a crossdresser, and the partner didn’t have any problems with it. Sam also did a lot of pro bono work for the transgendered, gay, and lesbian community.
