Chapter Nine

    Karen was sat at the kitchen table enjoying a nice cup of tea when she heard girl’s voices giggling as they made their way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Karen knew three of the girls, but the forth one was new to her, but she already knew that Sara and Sheana were planning on Jo being Josie for the weekend.

     “Good evening Sara, Sheana, Michelle, Josie?” Karen said Josie’s name as more of a question than a greeting.

     “Hello Mrs Read, it’s nice to meet you.” Josie said in a very polite way. “I hope you don’t mind me joining you for dinner like this.” Josie added looking nervous as she looked down at her new body and the breasts stood out in front of her.

     “Not at all Josie, and please call me Karen, I’ve warned you about that before.” Karen said with a little giggle while pointing a finger at her. “I must say you look very pretty Josie. How does it feel to see life from the other side of the fence so to speak?” Karen asked as she watched Sara help Josie take a seat at the table before sitting next to her.

     “Thank you for saying I look pretty Karen. I’m finding it a little strange, but also fun at the same time.” Josie said with a smile.

     “I can only imagine what it must feel like to go from being a boy to a girl like that, but I hope you can take something good from the experience.” Karen said with a smile. Sara saw the look her mum gave Sandy, so she knew that Sandy must have told her what Jo had done at school today.

     “How did the big meeting go at work today mum?” Sara asked wanting to change the subject away from Josie and any talk that could drop Jo in trouble. “Your jobs safe isn’t it mum?” Sara looked worried as she asked this bit.

     “My job is safer now than it was this morning sweetie.” Karen said with a smile bordering on a grin. “It turns out the company had been brought out and is now under new management.” Karen added.

     “So you have a new boss then now?” Sandy asked, shocked at the sudden change.

     “Kind of, but I’ve not met them yet.” Karen shrugged. “All I know is that I’m now in charge of the day to day running of the whole office.” Karen added with a grin this time.

     “Wow! That’s great mum.” Sara grinned.

     “Yes it is because it means a large pay increase and a new car as well.” Karen said as she pulled out a set of keys to a new Mercedes Benz.

     “What you doing with your old car mum?” Sandy asked before Sara could say anything else.

     “It’s still parked up in the office car park at the minute, but I was wondering if you might want it as an early birthday present?” Karen asked with a grin as she looked at Sandy.

     “Are you serious mum?!” Sandy squealed as she jumped up out her seat and ran around the table to give her mum a hug.

     “Does this mean you want it then?” Karen asked with a giggle.

     “Yes, yes, yes!” Sandy squealed some more.

     “I’ll drive you over to the office later tonight when the traffic has died down.” Karen said as she let Sandy hug her some more. “I’ll feel safer with you driving a proper car instead of the little death trap you call a car.” Karen frowned as she thought of the little old car Sandy had brought to get around in after her and Simon left their old home.

     “Hey! Don’t knock my little baby like that.” Sandy pouted. “She still has a couple of years left in her yet.” Sandy added with a grin.

     “Well if you feel like that about your old car, then I will let you keep her and sell my old car on to someone that will use it. I just thought you’d want a car that had more than rust holding it together.” Karen added as she faked losing interest in the conversation.

     “I do want the car mum! I just mean there’s still a couple of year’s life in it for someone else yet.” Sandy said as she sat on her mum’s knee and pouted at her like she used to do as a small child when she wanted something. “Do I get to drive your new car over to the office?” Sandy asked with a hopeful grin on her face as she picked up the keys to her mums new car off the kitchen table.

    Karen just laughed for a couple of seconds before she took the keys out of Sandy’s hand before saying, “No, not a chance missy.”

     “Do you not trust me in it?” Sandy asked with another pout.

     “You can pout all you want young lady, but I am not about to let you get behind the wheel of my new car that is less than a day old.” Karen said in a firm and final tone.

     “At least you’ll make a good first impression on Monday when you start your new job sis.” Sara pointed out.

     “I sure will baby sister.” Sandy said grinning. “Mum’s BMW is only a couple of years old and still looks brand new.” Sandy added as she thought about driving around in her mum’s old car.

     “Go and eat your dinner before it goes cold.” Karen told Sandy as she helped her get up off her knee.

    Sandy was soon in her seat again and helped to pass the dishes of food around the table for everyone to take what they wanted. Jenna was sat between Sara and Sheana, so the two of them helped put some food on her little plate for her. They all sat grinning as they watched Josie fill her plate up like she was still Jo.

     “Don’t take what you can’t eat Josie.” Sara warned as she watched her boyfriend now girlfriend putting more food on the plate in front of her.

     “I never do.” Josie said in her musical voice.

     “You were never a girl before today though sweetie.” Sara said sarcastically as she smiled at Josie’s smug look.

     “I don’t think one weekend of good eating is going to kill this cute figure you gave me.” Josie said dismissively as she started shovelling food into her mouth.

     “I didn’t mean it like that Josie.” Sara frowned. “I just mean that your new body shape won’t be able to hold that much food.” Sara added as she pointed to the plate full of food Josie had.

     “I’d be careful eating like that as well.” Sandy pointed out as she watched Josie get a massive fork full of food and try to put it in her much smaller mouth. Half of it went in, but the other half fell off the fork and fell between Josie’s new breasts making her jump when the hot food made contact with the tender flesh.

     “Ouch! Ouch! Hot, hot.” Josie said as she franticly tried to get the food back out of its new home.

    Sara was trying to help Josie out, but was having trouble doing much at all as she was laughing to hard just like the others were. “Sit still and let me help get you cleaned up.” Sara finally got out between giggles.

    Josie stopped moving around and let Sara clean off the food and then spent a little longer than needed making sure her new breast area was clean and free of any food. Josie was getting turned on again by Sara’s gentle strokes with the napkin. Josie was soon slapping a hand over her mouth when a moan of pleasure escaped her lips. This just set the others off in fits of giggles again as they looked at Josie go a deep shade of red.

     “I’m sorry about that.” Josie blushed some more as she batted Sara’s hands away and tried to get on with her meal, taking much more lady like bites this time.

     “We’re sorry for laughing at you Josie, but please don’t be too embarrassed about what you’re feeling at the minute.” Karen said in a soothing motherly way. “Most girls grown up getting use to the feelings that have been forced onto you in one go.” Karen added with a smile.

     “I’m not sure I could ever get use to having these things stuck out in front of me.” Josie said as she stuck her chest out while looking down at her breasts. Josie could still feel some pain from where the hot food had burnt her inner breast area so she winced a bit.

     “Did you burn yourself just now Josie?” Karen asked with worry in her voice.

     “Yes a little bit Karen, but it serves me right for not remembering I have a smaller mouth now.” Josie said as she tried to play down the pain she was feeling.

     “I can fix that Josie.” Sheana said as she got up out her seat and walked around the table to where Josie was sat. Sheana held her hand over Josie’s chest and a blue glow shone out from her hand as Josie felt the pain vanish from her inner breast. “Better?” Sheana asked when she moved her hand way.

     “Much better, thank you Sheana.” Josie smiled as she looked up at her. Without even thinking about it, Josie was suddenly holding her arms out to give Sheana a hug to thank her further.

     “I’m glad to help Josie, but please be more careful in the future.” Sheana warned as she hugged her back before she returned to her seat next to Michelle, so she could carry on eating her dinner.

    They all carried on eating their dinner until Josie had them all laughing again, but it was something she said this time that had them laughing, not something she did wrong.

     “I can see one advantage to having these puppies.” Josie said as she looked down at her breasts.

     “And what would that be Josie?” Karen asked for the rest of the table.

     “I should be able to stop the food landing in my lap and dirtying my trousers when I wear them.” Josie giggled.

     “I’m glad to see you finding good points in having breasts Josie, but please don’t refer to them as Puppies.” Karen cringed at the use of the male term for a woman’s breasts.

     “Sorry Karen, I didn’t mean any offence with it.” Josie said with a sad look on her face.

     “I’m sure you’ll see women in a different light by the end of the weekend.” Karen said with a frown as she thought about all the times she’d been looked at like she was a prize to be won by any man that looked at her.

     “I’m already beginning to see things very differently Karen.” Josie pointed out.

     “Mum? Speaking about this weekend. I was wondering if Josie and Michelle could sleep here until Sunday?” Sara asked her mum looking hopeful.

     “Normally I wouldn’t have a problem with it sweetie, but I think you forget that Josie can only be Josie for twelve hours before she has to take the ring off to let it recharge.” Karen pointed out the floor in Sara’s idea. “And I’m sorry, but I’m not ready to let you and Jo sleep together.” Karen told her.

     “Mum! I’d never do anything like that!” Sara said in total shock at what her mum was getting at.

     “I know you mean that Sara, but things can just get out of hand and hormones take control of a situation sometimes.” Karen said with a sad smile.

     “I could charm a second ring that would mean Josie could stay for the weekend Mum.” Sheana said. “Each ring would last for twelve hours, so other than removing one ring to put the other one on, Josie would be here until the ring was removed.” Sheana explained.

     “I can live with that if you all find it acceptable?” Karen said with a smile. “But I would want a couple of things done if Josie and Michelle are stopping for the weekend.” Karen said before any of the others could answer her question.

     “What’s that mum?” Sara asked.

     “First I want Michelle to hand over both the rings she uses to become Mike until Sunday when she’s ready to go home, and I want Sheana to add a little spell to the second ring for Josie, so only I can remove it.” Karen laid down her terms for the weekend slumber party.

     “I’ve got no problem with that.” Michelle said as she pulled a ring out her skirt pocket and handed it over to Karen before removing a necklace from around her neck with the second emergency ring on it. Michelle looked glad to have a reason to give the two rings away.

     “Thank you Michelle.” Karen said with a smile as she took the two rings and placed them in the pocket on her business suit. “What about you Josie? Will you be willing to lock yourself in that form overnight with me in control of it?” Karen asked as she looked at Josie.

     “I’d never show you or any of your family disrespect Karen, and I trust you with my life, so I’m happy to wear a ring that gives you control over me, just like this one is controlled by Sara.” Josie said as she held up her hand with the ring on it that made her look like a girl.

     “You know that I am the only one that can remove the ring?” Sara asked, shocked to find out Josie had already worked out she was stuck as a girl until She removed it for her.

     “I had my suspicions, but now I know they were well founded.” Josie giggled in her new girlie way.

     “Aren’t you mad with me for doing it to you?” Sara asked looking a little sheepish over what she’d got Sheana to do.

     “No, not at all Sara.” Josie smiled as she put her new smaller hand on top of Sara’s and looked her in the eyes. “I love you Sara, and I also trust you with my life.” Josie added just before she leaned in and kissed Sara on the lips. Josie was proud of herself for managing to keep the kiss a short but meaningful one that didn’t leave her feeling too gooey on the inside.

     “Does you mind? I’s trying to eat here.” Jenna said with a screwed up face when she saw the two girls kissing each other.

     “Are you feeling left out Jen bear?” Sara asked as she spun around in her seat and started covering Jenna in kisses.

     “Stop it, stop it!” Jenna giggled as she tried to stop Sara from covering her face in kisses. “I not mean you kiss me silly! I just not want see you kiss at dinner table why I try to eat my’s dinner.” Jenna said between giggles.

    Sara stopped playing around with Jenna and helped her get seated properly again before she turned back to face Josie and find out what her and Michelle would need to do so they could stop the weekend.

     “Will the two of you not need to become boys again to call home and make sure you can both stop the weekend?” Karen asked as she pattered the pocket with the rings in that Michelle used to become Mike again.

     “My parents will be away for a week yet, so I’ll just send them an email later.” Michelle said with a shrug. “I could do with going home and getting my night things though if I’m going to be here for the weekend.” Michelle pointed out.

     “I can blink us their later if that’s okay with you mum?” Sheana asked as she looked at Karen.

     “That would be a wonderful idea Sheana.” Karen smiled her permission for Sheana to use her magic to take her and Michelle to get her things for the weekend. “What about you Josie, do you need to call home and get the okay to stop away from home for the weekend?” Karen asked.

     “I’ll just text my mum telling her that I’ll be stopping at Mike’s for the weekend. We do it all the time anyway, or we did before Sara and Sheana came into our lives.” Josie said with a grin.

     “That’s that sorted out then.” Karen smiled. “It’s been some time since I hosted a slumber party.” She added with a grin.

    Sara remembered Sandy having them in the past, but being a boy back then meant she never got to join in the fun. Simon would hide under his covers and sob himself to sleep as he listened to Sandy and her friends giggling and having fun. Sara snapped out of her sad trip down memory lane when she heard Sandy say her name.

     “I’m sorry I never let you come and join in the fun at my slumber parties Sara.” Sandy said with a sad look at her sister. “I’d have loved to let you come and join in the fun if I’d realised how unhappy you really were.” Sandy added as she reached over and took hold of Sara’s hand to show just how truly sorry she was.

     “Don’t feel sad sis. You weren’t to know how I felt, and it would have been weird having a boy join you and your friends.” Sara waved off Sandy’s worry. “I’m having my own slumber party now anyway.” Sara added with a grin.

     “Can I’s be part of your sleeping party?” Jenna asked as she tugged on Sara’s t-shirt.

     “It wouldn’t be a slumber party without you Jen bear.” Sara said as she pulled Jenna up onto her knee. Jenna sat grinning on Sara’s knee as she thought about being part of this slumber party Sara had just been talking about.

    They all finished eating and Josie found out Sara was right about her not being able to eat as much. She had barely eaten half of what she took before she felt full to bursting and had to stop. Josie still found room to put a small dish of ice cream away though.

    Once desert was out the way, Karen and Sandy left to go and pick Karen’s old car, now Sandy’s new one up, While Prue sat at the kitchen table talking to Sara, Sheana, Michelle and Josie as they got the dishes washed and put away with some help from Jenna who was sat on a chair at the sink helping Josie to wash while Sara, Sheana and Michelle dried.

     “You better send your mum a text message to say you’re going to be sleeping at Mikes this weekend Josie.” Sara said as she watched Josie drying her hands and helping Jenna to get dry once they’d finished washing all the dishes.

     “Fank you for helping me do de dishes Josie.” Jenna smiled as she watched Josie trying to get her dry.

     “The dishes weren’t the only things to get washed looking at the state of your dress.” Josie giggled. “Maybe we should just put you in the bath with all the dishes and do the washing up that way?” Josie suggested with a grin.

     “No! Dat sound painful.” Jenna said looking shocked at the idea. “What if I’s sit on a fork or’s somefing else sharp?” Jenna asked with a scowl.

     “Hmm, you do have a good point there Jen bear.” Josie said with a frown. “Silly me for not thinking of that. It’s a good job you’re a lot smarter than I am.” Josie added.

     “Dat otay Josie, you get smarter now you a girl.” Jenna said in a matter of fact way.

     “Hey! Not all girls are smarter than men you know young lady.” Josie said as she started to tickle Jenna over the insult to her former gender.

     “All de men I meet are not as smart as Prue and Sara.” Jenna pointed out. “Day try to hurt me why day are around and day always get bopped on de head for it.” Jenna sighed like the men should have known better than to try in the first place.

     “What about Jo and Mike? They treat you nice, and can be just as smart as Prue and Sara.” Josie pointed out.

     “Yes Jo and Mike smarter than other men. Day no it better to be girl dan boy.” Jenna giggled excitedly. “We start’s sleepy party now?” Jenna asked.

     “And you called me a sexist.” Josie said as she looked up at Sara from where she was crouched down in front of Jenna.

     “I’ve never called you a sexist Josie.” Sara grinned.

     “I didn’t mean that sort of a sexist Sara, and you know it.” Josie pointed out. “I’m talking about the way I was treating you at school today.” She added with a frown.

     “But that wasn’t you Josie.” Sara said. “That was Jo that was being a sexist pig.” Sara added with a giggle.

    Josie went to speak again, but realised that Sara would just keep twisting it back round to being Jo v Josie, so she just frowned and carried on helping Jenna to get dry. Once Jenna was as dry as she would be without a change of clothes, Josie went back up to Sara’s room to grab Jo’s mobile and sent her mum a text to say she’d be spending the weekend at Mike’s. Josie waited to get a text back telling him to keep out of trouble and to have a good time.

     “I wonder what mum would say if she saw what I looked like at the minute?” Josie giggled to herself as she put Jo’s mobile back in his school bag.

    Josie was just about to leave Sara’s bedroom and return back down stairs when she saw a pile of clothes folded up and sat on the top of a chest of draws, so she decided to take a closer look at the sort of things Sara would have her wearing over the weekend.

    Most of it was just skirts and t-shirts, but there were a couple of cute dresses that Jo had seen Sara and Sheana wearing. Josie was just holding one up to her and looking in the full-length mirror when Sara entered the room followed by Sheana and Michelle.

     “You’re really getting into the girl thing aren’t you Josie?” Sara said with a grin from ear to ear when she saw that Josie had been checking out how a couple of dresses would look on her.

     “I was just trying to copy what I’d seen girls do in the movies.” Josie blushed as she tried to fold the dress back up and place it back on the pile of clothes.

     “There’s no need to blush Josie.” Sara smiled as she walked over to help her with the dresses, which should have been put on hangers, not left folded in with the other clothes like they were. “I want you to have fun and just be a girl for the weekend.” Sara added.

     “It’s hard to be anything else looking like this.” Josie giggled as she looked down at her chest covering the view of her feet. “Is it weird that I kind of like the way I feel in this form?” Josie asked looking more serious about it now.

     “Like as in you want to stay like it?” Sara asked, not fully understanding what Josie was trying to say. “Or like as in its fun looking at life from another angel?”

     “It feels different, but the same at the same time, but I don’t want to stay a girl forever like Michelle and you.” Josie explained with worry in her voice. “I still like plain old Jo, but doing this makes me feel even closer to you in so many ways.” She added with a grin as she thought about getting to see Sara naked in the bathroom earlier.

     “Good, because I still want to spend time with Jo, but it will be fun getting to go shopping with my girlfriend as well.” Sara grinned as she turned to face Josie after she’d put the second dress on a hanger and put it away. Sara wrapped her arms around Josie and pulled her closer for a kiss.

    Even though Josie didn’t really feel any weaker now she was a girl, she could now feel the raw power Sara had at her command as she gripped Josie tight to her as they kissed. Josie liked the idea of not having to pretend to be the big macho guy at the minute, not that he was very good at playing that sort of role, and he knew that Sara didn’t like him acting like that.

     “So what does one do at a slumber party then?” Josie asked when Sara let her up for air. “Apart from sleep that is.” She added with a giggle.

     “We paint each other’s nails, play around with makeup, try on clothes, and tell each other our darkest secrets.” Sara said in a spooky voice just before she started giggling. “I’m not too sure what we should do at a slumber party to be honest with you.” Sara added with some more giggling.

     “I’m going to blink Michelle and myself over to her place, so she can get some clothes and her night things. Then we’ll make the second ring for your mum to control Josie with over night.” Sheana said as she got ready to blink the two of them.

     “Control me?! “ Josie shouted looking worried at the choice of words Sheana had picked to describe what Karen would be able to do to her new female form.

     “Yes. Mum will control when you become Jo again while you sleep with Sara.” Sheana said in a matter of fact way.

     “So she won’t be able to make me do anything weird then?” Josie asked.

     “Why would mother want to make you do anything weird?” Sheana asked, not understand Josie’s sudden look of panic.

     “I know she wouldn’t, but it’s just the way you worded it Sheana. Sorry for getting so freaked out.” Josie said with a weak smile.

     “Your mind will remain your own Josie.” Sheana smiled back finally understand the reason for her worry. “Only when you become Jo again will be controlled by Sara and our mother.” Sheana added just before she took hold of Michelle’s hand, and the two of them suddenly vanished.

     “That was so cool!” Josie said as she saw Sheana and Michelle vanish before her eyes. “I’m sorry if I made it sound like I don’t trust your mum Sara.” Josie added as she turned to make sure Sara wasn’t upset with her for what she’d just said.

     “No problem Josie. I’ve been feeling a little worried since mum laid down this new ground rule about you having to wear a ring that only she can remove while you spend the weekend having a sleep over.” Sara sighed. “I feel like she still doesn’t trust me.” Sara added with a little anger in her voice.

     “I don’t mind Sara.” Josie smiled. Sara could still see Jo when Josie smiled like that. “If you feel anything like I do right now, then it could be a good thing to not have the temptation available to us.” Josie added with a grin.

     “The feelings are intense aren’t they when you first start to feel them.” Sara said as she remembered how she felt the first time she started to explore her new body just after Sheana changed her. That was why she’d helped Josie in the bathroom, so she could get over the first hump of being a girl. “These feeling were one of the reasons I was worried about you not wanting to go back to being Jo again after this weekend.” Sara owned up to being worried about Jo’s wanting to try being a girl.

     “Nothing could stop me wanting to spend time with you as Jo, Sara, not even that amazing feeling you gave me in your bathroom.” Josie smiled at the memory of her first mind blowing orgasm. “I like being Jo and having the most beautiful girlfriend on my arm to much to want to remain in this form.” Josie added with a grin just before she leaned in and kissed Sara this time.

     “Keep talking like that young lady, and I may take that ring off and have my wicked way with you before my mother has time to get Sheana to make another ring so she can control you.” Sara giggled when they stopped kissing.

     “I couldn’t do that to your mother Sara. I respect her to much to do that, and I want the first time we make love to be something special.” Josie said it, but Sara could see that it was Jo saying it really when she looked into the girl’s deep brown eyes.

     “I want my first time to be special as well Jo.” Sara said using Josie’s male name to show she understood what he was trying to say. “Do you really not mind being a girl then at the minute?” Sara asked wanting to change the subject away from sex.

     “No, not really.” Josie said with a shrug. “The new centre of balance takes a bit of getting use to, and having to lean forward to see my feet is a little weird as well.” Josie giggled as she shook her chest from side to side, making her breasts jiggle.

     “Is it what you thought it would be like?” Sara asked.

     “To be honest with you Sara, no its not. I thought I’d feel weak and less able to take care of myself, but I don’t feel any different really, other than the things I’ve just told you about.” Josie said as she pointed at her chest with a grin.

     “You do get use to them being there.” Sara giggled as she jiggled her own breasts at Josie. “I’d feel lost without them now.” Sara added with a worried look.

     “I’d miss them too.” Josie pouted as she cupped one of Sara’s breasts in her new smaller hand and she started playing with the nipple through the t-shirt and bra cup. Josie had been a girl just long enough to know what would get Sara turned on, and looking at the way Sara had closed her eyes and was beginning to breathe a little heavier, it was working.

     “MMM, that feels so good.” Sara moaned as she gripped Josie’s head between her hands and pulled her closer so they could kiss why Josie kept playing with her nipple. Sara kept Kissing Josie, but moved one of her hands down to start playing with one of Josie’s nipples in the same way.

*****

    Sara and Josie were both lying on the bed panting and looking a little flushed when Sheana and Michelle blinked back into the bedroom with a bag each. They didn’t need telling what the other two had been up to. They just looked at each other and then giggled before looking back at Sara and Josie, who were now sat up and trying to straighten out their clothes again.

     “Maybe we should have knocked before blinking back.” Michelle said with a sly grin.

     “I’ll try hanging a mental ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the door.” Sara said with a smirk.

     “Can you do that?” Josie asked getting in on the fun.

     “I hope the ring stayed on while you played around?” Sheana asked looking a little more serious than the other three.

     “Yes!” Sara snapped. “You haven’t been gone that long, and Josie is still dressed like a girl, look” Sara pointed out as she looked at the dress Josie was wearing. “I’m not weird enough to want to have sex with Jo while dressed in girl’s clothes.” Sara added with a weirded out look on her face.

     “Sara and I spoke while the two of you were out the room, and we both want the first time to be special for the both of us, so I won’t be trying anything like that this weekend.” Josie explained.

     “I’m sorry to sound old fashioned about all this, but I was raised in a time when this sort of thing wasn’t as common place as it is now.” Sheana said looking uncomfortable talking about it.

     “I’m the one that’s sorry sis for snapping at you just now.” Sara said as she slid off the bed and gave Sheana a hug. “Josie and I were just playing around, nothing more than that sis, and I don’t plan to just go at it like that either.” Sara said with a look that said she was being deadly serious about it.

     “I do need to have a word with Josie and Michelle while we’re on the subject of...” Sheana blushed when she tried to say the word sex, but couldn’t bring herself to say it.

     “Sex?” Josie finished for her.

     “Yes.” Sheana nodded as she blushed an even deeper shade of red. “I need to give you a warning, but please hear me out before you get angry with me.” Sheana warned in a worried tone.

     “Why would we get angry with you Sheana?” Michelle asked as she saw the worry in Sheana’s eyes.

     “I know that I told you the rings would help you stay as a girl Josie, and you as a boy Michelle, but if either of you had sex and got pregnant, then the rings would no longer work until the child had been born.” Sheana explained.

     “You mean have sex with a man?” Josie asked with a worried look on her face.

     “Yes with a man.” Sheana said with a puzzled look until she realised that Josie was worried about what her and Sara had been doing. “What you did with Sara doesn’t count Josie.” Sheana added with a reassuring smile.

     “I don’t plan on going with a man anytime in the future, but thanks for the warning.” Josie said with a shudder at the thought of letting a man do anything like Sheana was getting at.

     “That goes double for me.” Michelle said as she must have been thinking the same thing Josie was, because she also shuddered at the thought of letting a man touch her in that way.

     “On the off chance that something like that did happen, couldn’t you just cast another spell to end the pregnancy?” Josie asked.

     “No! I would never cast a spell that would end a human life.” Sheana said with anger in her voice. “To take a human life is against all codes of light magic, and I would never dream of doing such a thing.” Sheana said with fear of even thinking about such a thing.

     “Couldn’t we take a morning after pill to end the problem that way?” Josie asked.

     “What is this morning after pill you speak of?” Sheana asked looking confused.

     “The morning after pill is something the medical world came up with to help girls to silly to not have unprotected sex.” Sara pointed out, not wanting to go into the real reasons for the pill and how it was designed for rape victims. Sara didn’t think Sheana was ready for a conversation like that.

     “No form of magical or medical aid would get rid of the baby once you were pregnant.” Sheana explained. “The spell keeping you a girl, or stopping you becoming a boy would protect the baby growing inside you until it had been born.” Sheana added.

     “I can’t see the point of talking about any of this Josie. Sheana and I don’t plan on letting either of you anywhere near any men or boys for that matter.” Sara frowned at the pointless discussion Josie was having with Sheana about the risk of getting pregnant.

     “I don’t have any plan to let you either.” Josie pointed out with a worried look. “I just find it interesting that suddenly having a new life growing inside me could stop me from becoming a boy again until the baby was born.” Josie added with a thoughtful look on her face.

     “If that’s what will happen because of what you call light magic Sheana, then does that also mean that there is dark magic?” Michelle asked.

     “Yes there is. You can’t have one without the other normally.” Sheana pointed out. “Dark magic is a more raw form with little control over it.” Sheana tried to explain.

     “Which is the more powerful of the two types?” Josie asked.

     “They are both equal in power Josie; it’s what you chose to do with it that makes the difference.” Sheana said with a shrug. “Dark magic will darken the soul and make the user care less for the world around them. The darkness of the soul is then reflected in how the person looks, that is why you use images of dark magic witches in all you books.” Sheana pointed out referring to the fact all the pictures she’d seen were of witches with pointy noses and warts, and dressed in black.

     “I never realised any of that. I just thought a witch was a witch.” Josie said.

     “Do I look like one of them dark witches in your books?” Sheana asked with a hurt look.

     “No, but I never thought witches were real either before I met you and Sara.” Josie pointed out. “I always thought those images were just to frighten young kids at Halloween.” Josie added. “And for the record, I think you look really cute by the way.” Josie said as she stepped over and gave Sheana a hug.

     “Thanks Josie, you’re not un-cute yourself.” Sheana giggled as they hugged.

     “Stands to reason Sheana, I only work with the best witches you know.” Josie said with pride just before she started giggling, which set off the other three.

    The four girls were still giggling when Jenna and Prue came into the room. It didn’t take long for them to be sat around playing with hair, nails and makeup. Prue was quite good and she sat Josie down and explained the basics to her with the other’s sat listening as well.

     “Are you sure you’ve not done this before?” Prue asked Josie at one point as she watched Josie applying her eye makeup after Prue had shown her what to do.

     “No! I’ve never tried putting makeup on before today.” Josie said defensively. “I’m just a quick study.” Josie added.

     “You could have a future as a makeup artist with a little more practice.” Prue offered as an idea, forgetting all about Josie really being Jo.

     “Thanks for the tip Prue, but I don’t plan on making Josie a full time thing.” Josie pointed out.

     “You get lots of male makeup artists Josie, so I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it.” Prue argued. “I’m sure Sheana could charm a ring so you could be both Jo and Josie when you get older.” Prue suggested.

     “I think I’ll see how I cope over this weekend before I start planning out a future for Josie.” She smiled as she carried on doing her eye makeup while Prue watched her.

     “We need to get you use to walking in heels before Sunday, or it will be a dead giveaway that you’re not what you appear to be.” Sara said after they had finished painting their nails and they all had perfect makeup and hair to go with it.

    It turned out that some of Prue’s past one hundred and fifty years hadn’t been wasted. She was a good teacher and soon had the girls all working on each other’s hair and makeup.

     “Can’t I just keep wearing these?” Josie asked as she pointed down to the ballet pumps she was wearing again after her toe nails had dried.

     “No, I want you to be able to walk in heels as well as boots and some other forms of shoe.” Sara told her. “Don’t look so worried about it Josie, I won’t be trying to get you walking around in sky high heels just yet.” Sara added with a grin.

    Sara soon had Josie walking back and forth in a pair of sandals with a two inch heel on them and Josie found out they weren’t as bad as she first thought they would be. Sara then had her in the same boot’s Sara had worn the day she saved Mike from being beat up by Bull and his friends. These boots had a three inch heel which was a little narrower than the two inch heel on the sandal, but Josie soon got the hang of walking on them as well.

     “You have quite a sexy little walk in those boots Josie.” Sara said with a grin as she watched Josie walking across the bedroom for the umpteenth time.

     “Is that a good or bad thing?” Josie asked as she stopped and turned to look at Sara before walking back towards her.

     “Good because you look like you’ve been doing it all your life, but bad because all the boys will want to hit on you while we’re out shopping on Sunday.” Sara said with a grin.

     “I won’t be wearing these boots on Sunday then.” Josie said looking worried about being hit on by other guys.

     “You could wear a potato sack on Sunday Josie, and the guys will still be hitting on you, just like they will be hitting on Sara, Sheana and Michelle.” Prue told her. “Just be polite and tell them you’re not interested and they should soon leave you alone.” Prue said looking hopeful that the girls wouldn’t find any assholes while out shopping on Sunday, not that she was too worried about any of them with Sara and Sheana around.

     “Couldn’t I just wear a t-shirt that says ‘I’m a lesbian’ on it?” Josie asked with a grin as she stuck her chest out with pride.

     “I don’ think that would help keep the boys away from you Josie, if anything it could make things worse for you and the others.” Prue pointed out with a worried look.

     “We’ll just be four friends out shopping on Sunday Josie. I don’t want to stick out for reasons like that.” Sara said as she thought about the trouble they could end up with if Josie did wear a t-shirt that said that on it. “I’ll be there to keep you safe.” Sara added as she tried to look all tough by flexing her muscles and doing a macho he-man pose.

     “My hero.” Josie giggled as she played the damsel in distress and fell at Sara’s feet like Sara had just saved her from a fate worse than death. “Please keep the bad men away from me Sara.” Josie added sounding just like Scarlett O’Hara from gone with the wind. This soon had them all falling on the bed and the floor in fits of giggles.

    Even Jenna thought it looked funny to see Josie with her arms wrapped around Sara’s legs like she was letting Sara protect her from some invisible evil. “You funny Josie.” Jenna said.

    Before they all started to get ready for bed, Sara wanted to go down and show her mum and Sandy what Josie looked like with her hair and makeup done. Sara also wanted to ask Sandy of she had a spare pair of slippers and a night shirt Josie could borrow. Sara and Sheana were already sharing what Sara had.

    Karen and Sandy were sat in the living room sorting out paperwork for the swapping over of the car to Sandy when the girls all entered the living room looking very glamorous. Even Jenna and Prue had got all dolled up for fun.

     “I hope none of you are thinking about going out clubbing? You’re not old enough.” Karen said with a grin. “But you do all look very pretty though.” She added.

    All the girls said thank you and then Sara looked at Sandy. “Sandy? Do you have a spare night shirt and slippers that Josie can borrow for a couple of nights?”

     “I’ve got a couple of night shirts. But I can’t help with the slippers sis.” Sandy said with a sad look.

     “What about the slippers we brought for you just before all this happened? Won’t they do for a couple of days?” Karen asked as she thought about all the clothes they had gone out and brought just before Simon came home as Sara. “It’s a shame we wasted all that money on clothes and shoes you’ll never wear.” Karen sighed.

     “If you don’t mind me using magic mum, I could change some of them things to suit a girl.” Sheana suggested with a nervous look at her new mum.

     “You can do that Sheana? Change all of Sara’s old Male clothes into those suitable for a girl?” Karen asked a little shocked that she hadn’t thought of this before.

     “Yes I can mum. Changing one item to another is easy to do. Making something from nothing can be a little trickier.” Sheana explained.

     “Why have you never suggested this before now Sheana?” Karen asked with a puzzled look.

     “You said you didn’t want me using magic unless you told me to when we first met and you adopted me as your daughter, and I’ve just not thought to mention it again until now.” Sheana shrugged. “So do you want me to change Sara’s old clothes?” Sheana asked.

     “Yes, please do Sheana.” Karen said, happy that they could get some use out of all the clothes she’d brought Simon before he turned into a girl. “How does it work then Sheana?” Karen asked.

     “I just need to see the clothes and then I need you to show me what you want me to change each piece into.” Sheana told them as Karen cleared a space on the sofa for her to sit down while Sandy grabbed a couple of clothing catalogues.

    Sara and Prue took Josie and Michelle out to the garage so they could grab all the bags with Simon’s clothes in and then took them back to the living room for Sheana to change into usable female clothing. They were all soon sat around watching Sheana change item after item of clothing from that suitable for a boy to that suitable for a girl. She even changed the new male slippers Karen had brought Simon, into a pair of big fluffy bunny slippers that looked the same as the pair Michelle had brought with her from home that she’d been wearing along with the silk PJ’s she’d been wearing the night before when her. Sara and Prue popped in to pick up the voice altering device Mike had made.

     “This brings a whole new meaning to the word ‘Recycling’” Sandy giggled as she watched Sheana transform a pair of jeans into a denim skirt. Sandy even managed to talk her mum into letting Sheana change some of Simon’s things into some cute looking dresses she could wear to her new job.

     “I think that will do for now Sheana.” Karen smiled when she saw the large pile of girls clothes stacked up on an armchair. “I hope you still have enough magic left in you to charm the other ring for Josie?” Karen asked looking worried for her daughter.

     “Okay mum, and yes I still have plenty of power left to charm the ring.” Sheana smiled. “I just need a spot of your blood to tie the ring to you so no one else can remove it.” Sheana added as she pulled a ring out her pocket and placed it in her mum’s hand.

     “Blood?! How much blood?” Karen asked looking worried.

     “Just a drop mum.” Sheana said in a calming voice as she picked up a pin off the table and spoke something before the end of the pin glowed red with heat. “You’ll just feel a slight prick.” Sheana added. She was soon looking round with a puzzled look on her face when everyone started giggling and laughing. “What have I said now?” She whined.

     “Sorry sis, but it’s just the way you said mum would feel a slight prick.” Sara got out between giggles.

     “I worry that I will never understand this modern humour.” Sheana said with a sigh, still not understanding what they were all laughing for.

    Sara with some help from Sandy and Prue then explained what the word Prick was also used for nowadays. Sheana was shocked that any of them would think she’d say such a thing to her mother.

     “I didn’t mean it in such a way mum! Please forgive me if I’ve upset you.” Sheana said as she fell at her mother’s feet to beg for her forgiveness.

     “Don’t look so worried sweetie.” Karen said as she pulled Sheana up to a sitting passion on the sofa next to her. “Do you think I’d be laughing if I thought you meant it in that way?” Karen asked as she hugged a shocked looking Sheana in her arms.

    Sheana was soon feeling better as her mum hugged her. She was soon ready to draw a drop of blood from her mum’s finger, and then she wiped the blood on the ring and chanted the same spell that charmed the other ring that Josie was wearing at the minute.

     “Will I become Jo again once you remove the ring I have on to replace it with the new one?” Josie asked when she saw that Sheana had finished charming the new ring.

     “No, the change back to Jo won’t happen for an hour after the ring is removed.” Sheana explained. “I added that after the trouble we had at school today. This way if anyone does manage to remove the ring, you won’t change right away.” Sheana added with a smile.

     “Smart thinking sis.” Sara grinned. “Give me your hand Josie and I’ll take that ring off you and let you put the new one on.” Sara added as she held out her hand to remove the ring she’d got control over.

    Josie gave Sara her hand and then watched as Sara pulled the ring from her hand. Josie was shocked to see how easy it was for Sara to take it off, Josie had tried a couple of times to remove the ring, but it was stuck when she tried. Sara had just slipped it off like it was two sizes too big for her.

     “Do I need to slip the new one onto Josie’s finger Sheana?” Karen asked, not sure what, if anything needed to be done by her.

     “No, Josie can slip the new ring on, just like she can with the one Sara took off her, but each ring can only be removed by the one I bound it to.” Sheana said as she watched Josie slip the new ring on the same finger Sara had just taken the other ring off. “To prove my point Sara, why don’t you try and take the new ring off Josie’s hand.” Sheana smiled.

    Sara was soon pulling on the new ring, but unlike the one that bonded Josie to her, this ring was stuck. Sara stopped trying to pull it off then Josie screamed out in some pain.

     “Ouch! I’d like to keep the finger for another time Sara!” Josie said as she cupped her hand under her other arm for some protection from Sara’s rough handling after Sara spent a couple of seconds giving it a good tug trying to get it off.

     “Do you mind if I try and remove it Josie?” Karen asked as she held out her hand.

     “Okay.” Josie said looking worried, but she held out the hand with the ring on it for Karen to try and remove the ring that was holding her in the form of a girl.

    Karen took hold of Josie’s shaking hand in one of hers and then she took hold of the ring in her other thumb and finger before she gently tried to remove the ring. Karen was shocked when the ring just slid straight off Josie’s finger to leave it sat in her fingers. Happy that it worked she soon slipped it back onto Josie’s finger where it would remain until morning.

     “I’ll remove it again in the morning just before we leave the house to go see this Hypatia you’ve been telling me all about.” Karen said as she laid down the law. “I will also put it back on again when we get back tomorrow evening.” She added with a no argument tone to her voice as she looked at first Sara and then Josie. Karen got a yes mum from Sara and a yes Karen from Josie.

    Karen sent the girls up to get ready for bed while she sorted out making drinking chocolate for them all. Karen couldn’t help but giggle fifteen minutes later when all the girls entered the kitchen all wearing silk PJ’s in different colours, and large fluffy bunny slippers just like the ones she’d watched Sheana make for Josie. Even Prue was wearing PJ’s and bunny slippers, but her slippers had fangs that made them look like vampire bunny slippers.

     “I know I look silly.” Prue said when she saw Karen start to giggle as she pointed at Prue’s feet, or the big white bunny heads with the red tipped fangs poking out the fake mouth.

     “Not silly Prue, just super cute.” Karen said between giggles as she looked at the others. Sheana had even made a smaller pair of silk PJ’s and Bunny slippers for Jenna to wear.

     “I’m meant to be a big bad vampire! We don’t do cute, never mind super cute!” Prue grumbled as she let Jenna lead her over to the table so she could help her get on a chair so she could enjoy her hot chocolate and marshmallows.

     “You still sound’s like mean moody Prue’s to me sis.” Jenna said as she let Prue lift her onto the chair at the kitchen table.

     “Would a mean moody Prue do this baby sister?” Prue asked as she started to tickle Jenna.

    Jenna couldn’t do anything to stop Prue because she was giggling to much as she squealed for her sister to stop.

     “I’ll stop when you say sorry for calling me mean and moody.” Prue said as she kept tickling the small girl.

     “I sorry, I sorry!” Jenna managed to squeal between giggles.

     “That’s better, now sit and drink you hot chocolate, and remember to be careful because it’s going to be hot.” Prue warned as she helped Jenna get straightened up on the chair.

     “It not be hot chocolat if it not hot sis.” Jenna pointed out.

     “Okay little miss smarty pants, just be quiet and have your drink.” Prue frowned.

     “They not pants, they PJ’s.” Jenna said as she stroked her leg through the silk Pyjama bottoms. “But I’s do look pretty in dem.” Jenna grinned up at Prue, already knowing what Prue was trying to get at, but having too much fun with her sister.

     “One more cheeky comment from you young lady and you’ll be going to bed with no hot chocolate.” Prue said trying to look serious.

    Jenna had just opened her mouth to speak when Sara pushed a large marshmallow into it. It did the trick as all Prue heard was a mumble. “You need to learn to pick the battles you know you can win kiddo.” Sara giggled as she pushed another marshmallow into Jenna’s mouth to make sure she couldn’t wind Prue up anymore. Liking the taste of the marshmallows, Jenna was happy to stop speaking and let Sara carry on feeding her the sweet that went so perfectly with the hot chocolate.

    Josie was finding the sensation of her nipples rubbing against the inside of the silk pyjama top without a bra to separate it was making her get that same tingly feeling again. She wanted to wear the bra to go to bed in, but was told that women don’t sleep in their bras. Josie looked around the table to see if she could see any sign that any of the others were having the same feelings she was right now, but they all looked happy to be talking about things like what Jenna had been doing while playing with Maggie and Cathleen, and what Karen’s new position in the Company was. Josie was so lost in thought that she jumped when she heard Sara’s voice in her head.

    “Stop twisting side to side you dirty little minx you.” Sara’s voice giggled in her head.

    “I can’t help it Sara. How do you women cope with feeling this all the time?” Josie thought to Sara with frustration in her voice.

    “Well we don’t sit and rub our nipples like you’re doing for starters.” Sara thought to Josie as she reached over and pulled Josie’s hand away from her nipple where she’d started rubbing it through the Pyjama top.

    Josie was shocked when she realised what she’d started doing without realising it. She started blushing when she realised that the whole table had also noticed what she was doing as well. “Sorry.” Josie said as she wrapped her hands around her mug and lifted it to her face, trying to hide the blush she could feel coming from it.

    Jenna was the only one to look puzzled, but the others had all gone through the same thing Josie was going through now, and they knew how stimulating it could be to feel their nipples rub against something like silk.

     “Not as easy being a girl as you thought it would be is it sweetie?” Karen asked with a smile.

     “No it’s not Karen.” Josie said in a whisper. “I feel like I’m wearing a backpack back to front, but I can’t take it off so I can get close to things I normally just do without thinking about them.” Josie said a little louder with frustration in her voice.

     “I’ve never thought of it that way before Josie, but I guess you could be right.” Karen said as she thought about what Josie was saying. “Most girls learn to deal with their breasts over time as they grow, but you’ve gone from being a boy earlier today, to now being a pretty young woman. That is a lot to accept in such a short time.” Karen added with a sad look.

     “It’s only for a weekend, so I’m sure I can cope with it.” Josie said more to herself than anyone else sat at the table.

     “It does get easier the longer you have them Josie.” Michelle pointed out, being the newest member of the all girls club after her. “If you think those are hard to deal with, you should try the ones Sheana and Sara gave me to start with.” Michelle added as she thought about the large breasts she’d suddenly grown when Sheana first cast the spell that changed her from Mike to Michelle. “Just thinking about it makes my back ache.” Michelle giggled.

     “I could help Josie to understand how you felt Michelle.” Sheana said as she lifted her hand like she was about to cast a spell.

     “No! I’ll take your word for it Michelle!” Josie said looking worried as she cupped her breasts in her hands trying to protect them from the spell Sheana was about to cast. Josie relaxed when she saw Sheana start to giggle.

     “I’m just teasing you Josie.” Sheana giggled. “I couldn’t cast another spell on you while you’re already under one anyway.” Sheana pointed out.

     “That’s good to know.” Josie said with a sigh as she let go of her breast again, not wanting to get excited again.

    Things calmed down after that and they talked about more normal stuff while they finished their drinks. Once they were done they all went to the living room where Karen had helped Sandy drag all the sofa’s out the way so they could all sort of camp out in there for the night. Prue was going to sleep in her human form while Josie and Michelle stopped the weekend. Jenna was looking forward to having a normal weekend and cuddling up to her sister for once, and not a big grey wolf.

    Karen helped them all to settle down before she turned off the light and went up to her bedroom. Sara and Sandy had tried to talk her into sleeping in the living room with them, but she’d just said her bones were getting to old for sleeping on a hard floor. Sheana had offered to make her a teenager again, but Karen had no desire to be that age again.

    They all lay in the dark listening to Prue and Jenna tell them some of the adventures they had on their way to England. Prue didn’t tell them about the two men that she killed when she found them about to rape Jenna, and she left out the part where she was evil and left a trail of bodies in her wake as she hunted Jenna.

    Josie was having trouble finding a good way to sleep until she felt Sara cuddle up to her, then she was soon drifting off to sleep with a smile on her face and Sara played with one of her nipples through her pyjama top.

*****

    Karen woke them all the next morning when she sneaked into the living room and stepped over the sea of sleeping bodies as she made her way over to the curtains and suddenly pulled them open, letting the morning sun stream in.

     “Morning girls! It’s such a lovely day today!” Karen said with a cheerful grin on her face as she looked down at the now moaning and groaning sea of semiconscious girls all trying to hide under the covers like they were all vampires that would burst into flames at any minute.

     “Mum! That’s just mean.” Sandy said as she tried to focus on her mother still stood over near the window where the sun was shining in.

     “That may be true dear, but it still doesn’t alter the fact that we have a busy day ahead of us, and I don’t want to be late going to see this Hypatia.” Karen said as she walked back across to the other side of the room grabbing the bed covers as she went. When she stopped and looked back, all she saw was a floor full of girl’s bodies all dressed in silk pyjamas. “Now the last two to get dressed and come for breakfast will end up washing and drying the dishes.” Karen added just before she left the living room to return to the kitchen so she could make a start on breakfast for them all.

    Sara had already decided to just live with being one of the two that would be stuck washing the breakfast dishes as she lay looking at Josie rubbing the sleep from her eyes next to her.

     “How did you sleep Josie?” Sara asked with a smile as she thought how cute she and Sheana had made Jo’s alter ego look.

     “Fine once I cuddled up to you, but before that I kept trying to lie on my belly, which you can’t do with these things.” Josie frowned as she looked down at her jiggling chest as it moved around under the pyjama top.

     “I know just what you mean, I had the same problem for the first couple of nights, but after that I just got used to sleeping another way.” Sara shrugged. “We better move, or mum will be back with a bowl of water in a minute.” Sara warned as she sat up and pulled Josie up to a sitting passion. Sheana, Michelle, Prue, Sandy and Jenna had all ran off, not wanting to be the last ones down for breakfast.

    Sara and Josie got up to the bedroom and then sat on the bed while they waited for the others to finish getting washed and dressed. Once they were done and running down to get breakfast, Sara and Josie set to work getting washed and dressed.

     “How did you ever get use to sitting down when you need to go?” Josie asked as she sat on the toilet and let the flow start. “It just feels so weird going like this.” She added as she got some toilet paper and wiped herself before getting up off the seat and flushing.

     “It just felt right for me to go that way even before I changed.” Sara shrugged as she had a wash just before letting Josie wash her hands. “I’m beginning to get the feeling you’re not keen on being a girl.” Sara added with a sigh.

     “It’s not that I don’t like it Sara, it’s just that I’ve always been happy as a male, and this is taking a little getting used to.” Josie said as she waved a hand up and down her body. “I’m not like you and Michelle, you both dreamed of being girls for as long as you can remember. I was happy with my male self, but I just wanted to be part of your group last weekend, so here I am seeing how the other half live.” Josie giggled as she struck a sexy pose with one hand on her hip and the other behind her head like an old fifties pinup.

     “I love you even more for being so willing to go this far just to be closer to me Josie.” Sara purred as she stepped over to Josie and wrapped her arms around Josie’s neck and leaned in for a kiss. Josie thought she was getting better at controlling the feeling in this new body because she didn’t lose control this time as they kissed.

    They finished getting dressed and then made their way down to get some breakfast before they all left to go and see Hypatia, so Sara could train and they could also talk to Hypatia about getting some help with monitoring the MIB’s

     “Looks like you two are the lucky winners of the dish cloth and tea towel after breakfast.” Karen said with a grin.

     “Technically that would make us the losers mum.” Sara frowned as she helped Josie take her seat before sitting down next to her to wait for her mum to finished dishing up the food.

     “Details, details.” Karen giggled. “Now eat your breakfast, from what Sandy and Prue have told me over the past week, it sounds like you’ll need the energy.” Karen told Sara as she put a plate of food down in front of her and then put a second one down in front to of Josie.

    They all ate mostly in silence, but what little talk there was, was mainly aimed at Josie and how she was coping with being a girl. She explained about the not being able to lie on her belly like she did when sleeping as Jo. Michelle knew what Josie was getting at, but she did say that you can, given enough time to get used to the added parts to the chest, but it had felt weird for her when she first tried sleeping while not wearing the ring that made her Mike again.

    Once breakfast was finished, Sara and Josie set to work doing the dishes with some help from Sheana and Michelle. Then they all went up to brush their teeth and finish getting ready to leave. Karen took the ring off Josie and let Sara put the other one back on that she controlled before they left the house.

    Sara had helped Josie get dressed in a simple cotton bra and panty set; she didn’t want Josie distracted to much while they were out today.

     “These don’t feel as nice as the ones you gave me to wear last night Sara.” Josie said after letting Sara help her get the bra on. “This still feels much softer than anything I ever wore as a boy, but the silky feel of the bra last night was much nicer.” Josie added as she stroked her breast though the material.

     “That was a special set I let you borrow last night, these are what I normally wear day to day.” Sara pointed out as she helped Jose step into a dress she’d just gotten out her wardrobe.

     “You have special underwear?” Josie asked with a confused look. “I thought underwear was just underwear?” She asked.

     “You’ve already answered that question for yourself.” Sara said looking a little smug with herself. “Did you feel a little more special last night when you had on that other bra and panty set?” Sara asked.

     “Yes I did, I’ve already told you that.” Josie said as she realised that she had already answered her own question. “I see what you mean now.” She giggled as she turned around so Sara could zip up the dress for her.

     “I think you’re beginning to like all these new clothes you’re getting to wear.” Sara said with a grin as she stood and watched Josie looking at herself in the full length mirror as she twisted from side to side making the dress she was wearing flare out.

     “To be honest with you Sara, I am beginning to like it a lot.” Josie said looking a little worried. “You just have so much more different styles and materials to choose from.” She added as she ran a hand over the skirt of the dress as it wrapped around her upper leg.

     “You can become Josie whenever you want you know.” Sara said as she stepped over and wrapped her arms around Josie just before she leaned in and kissed her. “I find it cool having a boyfriend that doesn’t mind getting in touch with his feminine side.” Sara purred when they broke the kiss.

     “If I learn nothing else from doing this with you, I’ll sure be a better lover when we finally get to that stage in our relationship.” Josie grinned just before they kissed again. They had to break the kiss when Sheana and Michelle burst into the room.

     “Mum says if you don’t get down stairs right this minute, we won’t be going anywhere all weekend, and we will be doing a top to bottom clean of the house.” Sheana said with a puzzled look. “Whatever that means?” Sheana added with a shrug.

     “Trust me when I say you don’t want to find out.” Sara said as she broke the hug with Josie and grabbed her hand before dragging her out the room.

     “Sara! What are you doing?” Josie shouted as she tried to make Sara stop. “Shouldn’t I have something on my feet before we leave the house?” She asked when she saw that Sara wasn’t going to stop for any other reason.

    Sara suddenly stopped moving and looked down at Josie’s bare feet as she wiggled her toes at Sara to get her point across. “Good point girlfriend.” Sara giggled in a really bad imitation of an American teenager as she spun around and dragged Josie back to her bedroom and sorted out some sandals for Josie to wear.

    The sandals were the same pair that Sara had got Josie to wear the night before as she had her practicing to walk in heels, so Josie was able to walk in them just fine, which was a good thing as Sara was soon dragging her out the bedroom and down the hallway before descending the stairs to meet up with the others all stood waiting to leave the house.

     “Sorry mum.” Sara said when she saw her mum looking at her watch before frowning at her and letting out a sigh. “Josie couldn’t make her mind up on what she wanted to wear.” Sara added as she pointed at Josie as the reason for taking so long to get ready.

     “I’m sure that was the reason.” Karen said trying not to grin when she saw the open mouthed shocked look Josie was giving Sara. “You two may want to do something about the smudged lipstick before we leave the house though.” Karen pointed out as she pointed at each girl’s lips.

     “Crap!” Sara said as she looked at Josie and saw the messed up lip stick. “Get your lipstick and compact out Josie.” Sara said as she went in her own purse and got hers out.

    Josie opened the purse that Sara had given her after filling it with half the contents of her vanity, and pulled out the lipstick and the small compact mirror before fixing her lipstick while the others looked on grinning at them both.

     “I’d swear you’ve done this before Josie.” Prue said as she watched Josie fix her makeup and then check her hair that Sara had styled for her earlier.

     “I’ve told you already. I’m just a quick study, and a girl has to look her best before leaving the house.” Josie said as she closed the compact and put everything back in the purse before striking a sexy pose that made everyone start to giggle at her.

     “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake when you charmed that ring?” Sara asked as she took Josie by the arm and started to drag her out the house so her mum could lock up.

    Josie suddenly felt very nervous about leaving the house and showing the world her new female look. “Are you sure I look girlie enough Sara?” Josie asked as she tried to stop Sara dragging her along, but not having much luck.

     “Josie you are a girl.” Sara said as she kept pulling her out the house. “Not even a doctor would say you were anything but a girl if they examined you.” Sara added as she finally got Josie out the house.

    Prue and Jenna were going in Karen’s old car, Sandy’s new one with Sandy, while Sara, Sheana, Michelle and Josie would be going in Karen’s new car with her.

    Sara and the others were seriously impressed with the new car her mum had when they stepped out the house and saw it parked on the driveway waiting for them to get in it. Karen pushed a button on the key fob and the doors clicked to let them all know that it was now unlocked.

     “That must be some promotion they gave you mum.” Sara said as she got in the front passenger seat while Sheana, Josie and Michelle all got in the back. Sara took in a deep breath through her nose and took in the new car smell mixed with the rich smell of leather.

     “It is sweetie.” Karen said as she got behind the wheel and pushed a button to start the car. “I’ve basically been handed the company to run for the new owners.” Karen said with some shock in her voice that she’d gone from just working for the company to now being the one in charge of it.

     “I’m glad someone finally noticed how good you are at your job mum.” Sara looked over at her mum with a smile.

     “Thanks sweetie.” Karen smiled back at her as she put a hand on top of Sara’s. “The extra money that I’ll be bringing home will help keep my girls clothed and fed as well.” Karen added with a giggle.

     “Does that mean I get a bigger allowance now then?” Sara asked with a grin.

     “Do you mind if I get my first new paycheque before you start asking for more pocket money?” Karen frowned. “It’s not like you need to rush out and buy more clothes is it? Not with all the things Sheana changed last night.” Karen added with a grin.

     “But mum, what about all the things in the shops that Sheana and I might see and need.” Sara pleaded with her mum.

     “My god, you really are a girl.” Karen said as she remembered having the same talks with Sandy when she was Sara’s age.

     “Yep! And thanks for noticing.” Sara said with a grin.

    Karen just shook her head as she backed out of the driveway and set off up the road with Sandy following behind. Sandy had told Karen the way to Hypatia’s place, so she could follow behind and enjoy the reaction of Josie and Michelle seeing the guards at the entrance to the grounds at Hypatia’s home.

*****

    Karen found the place easy enough due to it being the only entrance on the long country lane. She had also been warned about the large stone statues on either side of the gateway coming to life and stepping down off the wall when they sensed magic of any sort. Karen pulled into the driveway and stopped at the gates to wait for entrance to the grounds. She wasn’t shocked when she saw the statues step down, but Josie and Michelle both let out very girlie squeals when they saw the two large stone figures step down off the wall and bend down to look in each side of the car.

     “Miss Sara. Mistress is expecting you.” The stone figure looking in through Sara’s side of the car and said after looking at the two frightened looking girls clinging onto Sheana in the back of the car.

     “Thank you.” Sara smiled at the figure as he pointed his sword towards the gate and they started to open. He bowed his head at Sara before stepping back up onto the wall and taking the pose he had before they pulled up.

    Karen put the car in gear with a shaky hand before pulling off and making her way into the grounds and up to the main house that was sat up on a hill. The only thing stopping Karen from being more freaked out than she already was was the fact Josie and Michelle were still gripping onto Sheana.

     “You can stop clinging on to me now Josie, Michelle.” Sheana said as she had a girl gripping each side of her being the one sat in the middle.

     “Wh... Wha... What were those things?” Michelle stuttered out as she refused to let go of Sheana until she had an answer to her question.

     “Just some of Hypatia’s security.” Sara said with a grin from the front seat.

     “And you didn’t think to mention that little detail?” Josie asked with an edge of anger in her voice, but Sara thought she still sounded cute.

    Sara and Sheana had designed Josie’s voice and looks to make it hard for anyone to see her as a threat, even if she got mad with someone, she would still look cute and harmless.

     “I’m sorry; I thought I’d told you about them.” Sara said sounding innocent, but trying not to start laughing from the front seat.

     “Got any other little details you might have left out?” Josie asked still trying to sound angry and upset.

     “I don’t think so.” Sara said sounding thoughtful. “I did tell you about the three headed hound’s the size of a horse she has roaming the grounds to keep out unwanted visitors?” Sara asked as she looked around her seat into the back of the car.

     “She’s got a what?!” Josie asked with fear. Jo had been bitten by a dog when he was younger, so Josie was also just as scared of dogs as he was. Sara had never been told this little fact, so she had no idea that her little lie could cause such a reaction in her boy/girlfriend.

     “Jo’s terrified of dogs Sara.” Michelle warned her when she saw the way Josie was reacting.

     “Calm down Josie. Sara was just teasing you.” Sheana frowned at Sara. “Hypatia doesn’t have anything like that.” Sheana added as she hugged a shaking Josie.

     “I’m sorry Josie, I had no idea you were scared of dogs. I was just joking with you.” Sara said with a tear in her eye over upsetting Josie so much.

     “It’s not the sort of thing you tell your girlfriend, not unless you want to look like a wimp.” Josie said in a shaky voice.

     “I wouldn’t think you a wimp Josie, or Jo for that matter. It would have just been nice to know about it.” Sara said with a hurt tone that Jo could think something like that about her. “What happened to make you so afraid of dogs anyway?” Sara asked wanting to find out about it now she knew this much.

     “Jo was chased and then bitten by a large dog when he was six, he’s been scared of them ever since.” Michelle explained when she saw that Josie wasn’t going to be very forthcoming with the information.

     “Everyone is scared of something Josie, so please don’t see it as a sign of weakness.” Karen said as she looked at Josie in the rear view mirror while she drove up to the large house at the top of the hill. “I was thrown in a pool when I was a child, and I’ve been scared of swimming pools ever since.” Karen added.

     “I’m scared of spiders.” Sara said with a shudder as she thought about the eight legged little things crawling on her skin.

     “I’m scared of wasps and bees.” Michelle told them all her fears.

     “I don’t like Camels.” Sheana said. “I was once kicked by one as a child.” Sheana added as she remembered the animal kicking her on the backside once. She wouldn’t call it a fear of the animal, but she was hoping it would make Josie feel better about her fear of dogs.

     “I don’ think you have much to worry about then Sheana.” Josie said with a giggle. “Can’t say I’ve seen anyone walking a camel lately.” She added between giggles.

    This soon had the others in the car giggling as they all thought about some poor person being dragging down the road as they tried to walk a camel like you would do a dog. It wasn’t the reaction Sheana was going for, but she was happy to see Josie looking happier.

    Karen was glad to be parking up in front of the large house/mansion as it was, because she was laughing so hard her sides were hurting. “I wish you wouldn’t make me laugh like that while I’m driving girls.” Karen scolded them playfully.

     “Sorry!” All the girls said together just before getting out the car.

    Sandy parked up beside her mum and then she, Prue and Jenna got out with big grins on their faces as they looked at Josie and Michelle. “Did de big stone men frightens you?” Jenna asked with a grin on her face already knowing the answer having read it in Josie’s and Michelle’s minds before asking them.

     “I think you already know the answer to that one young lady.” Michelle said as she picked Jenna up and hugged her while she spun around on the spot. “You could have warned us about the scary stone men that guard the entrance to this mansion.” Michelle said as she spun Jenna around and around.

    Michelle stopped spinning Jenna around when she heard a woman cough, and it didn’t sound like one of the others. Michelle felt a little dizzy when she looked over to where she thought the coughing sound had come from and she saw a woman stood looking at them all from the top of the steps that lead to the front doors of the mansion.

     “Hi Samantha!” Sara said with a smile when she turned and saw that it was Samantha that had just coughed to get their attention.

     “Mistress is expecting you.” Samantha said as she gave Sara a filthy look before turning and walking back into the mansion without saying another word.

     “What’s her problem?” Sandy asked when she saw the way she looked at Sara before turning and walking back into the Mansion expecting the others to follow her.

     “I think she’s a little upset with me after the other night.” Sara said looking worried. “I used my mind thing to contact Hypatia remember?” Sara asked.

     “Yes I remember you telling us that, but what’s it got to do with Samantha?” Sandy asked looking puzzled.

     “Hypatia was in the middle of some fun and games with Samantha when I contacted her.” Sara said with a nervous giggle. “I think I broke the mood for the two of them.” Sara added hoping that Sandy would get the message of what the two of them were up to when she disturbed them.

     “That would explain the look she just gave you then sis.” Sandy said looking worried for her sister. “I wouldn’t go drinking or eating anything she gives you today while we’re here. She looks ready to kill you.” Sandy added as she led her sister up the steps and into the house.

     “Thanks sis, you’re a great help with all this.” Sara said sarcastically.

     “That’s what I’m here for baby sister.” Sandy said sounding just as sarcastic.

    Sara took Josie by the hand and then followed her mum and the others as they all followed Samantha into the mansion and down the hallway to the large room they had all been left to meet Hypatia the week before.

     “Mistress will be with you shortly.” Samantha said just before she turned to leave the room.

     “Samantha? Can we have a talk about what happened the other night?” Sara asked with some pleading in her voice.

     “I’m sorry Mistress Sara, but I have my duties to perform.” Samantha said in a cold voice as she side stepped around Sara’s grab at her arm to stop her leaving the room.

    Sara was left standing in the middle of the room watching Samantha strut out of the room in an angry walk. “I just wanted to say I was sorry for what happened the other night!” Sara shouted, but Samantha just kept walking.

     “She’s not just mad with you my dear.” Hypatia’s voice said from just behind her. “She snapped at me for leaving her to come and help you, so I’m teaching her a lesson in manners.” Hypatia added with a frown.

     “Not sure it’s working very well.” Sara sighed. “I’m sorry I caused all this trouble for you Hypatia.” Sara added looking upset that Samantha was mad with her.

     “Don’t look so worried Sara. Samantha will be fine in an hour; she’s just letting you know she wasn’t happy with your little intrusion the other night.” Hypatia smiled. “She’s been busy in the kitchen all morning cooking. She’s been excited about your visit.” Hypatia confessed.

     “Are you sure she’s not just planning all the different ways to poison me?” Sara asked, thinking about what Sandy had said to her before they entered the mansion.

     “She’d never do such a thing Sara.” Hypatia said with some shock in her voice. “I’d be most displeased with her if she did.” Hypatia added with a frown.

     “Can’t say I’d be too happy either.” Sara giggled as she tried to lighten the mood again.

     “No I don’t suppose you would.” Hypatia smiled as she thought about it a little more. “Speaking of the other night, I must say I was very impressed with how you handled yourself with the Krennan, but we can talk more about that later, right now I would very much like to meet your mother and two friends.” Hypatia added as she looked at Karen, Josie and Michelle.

     “I’m sorry Hypatia, how rude of me.” Sara said as she walked Hypatia over to meet her mum first. “This is my mother. Mother this is Hypatia.” Sara said as she introduced them to each other.

     “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Mrs Read.” Hypatia said as she held out her hand to shake Karen’s. “You have three fine daughters.” She added with a smile.

     “Thank you Hypatia, and please call me Karen.” Karen said as she shook Hypatia’s hand. “I’d also like to thank you for offering your help to train Sara to use these new gifts she has.” Karen added as she looked at Sara stood off to one side with Josie at her side looking nervous still.

     “Sara takes guidance well, so she is a pleasure to work with, and I get such little challenge these days from anyone else, so it’s nice to let my full power flow when we train.” Hypatia said as she led Karen over to a sofa and helped her take a seat before sitting down next to her while the others all sat on the other sofas in the large room.

     “Are we talking about my daughter there still?” Karen asked with a playful smile as she looked in Sara direction.

     “Mum!” Sara moaned as she blushed with embarrassment. “I do listen to you, most the time.” Sara added the last bit as she remembered a couple of times she’d done something her mum had told her not to do.

     “And who are your other two friends then Sara?” Hypatia asked, not giving Karen time to launch into Sara about all the times she’d gone against what she’d told her. “I feel something a little different about these two.” Hypatia added when she sensed the magic surrounding the two girls sat with Sara and Sheana.

     “This is Josie and Michelle, but they are also our boyfriends called Jo and Mike.” Sara explained as she pointed at Josie and Michelle.

     “Boyfriends?” Hypatia asked with a raised eyebrow. “I see you don’t let the grass grow under your feet do you?”

     “I don’t know what you mean Hypatia?” Sara asked with a hurt look.

    Not even a girl a month yet, and already you have a boyfriend, or girlfriend as it seems to be at the minute.” Hypatia said as she looked Josie up and down as she sat cuddled up to Sara’s side like Sara would protect her if this woman talking about her tried anything. “Or is she a girl like you?” Hypatia asked as she looked at Sara again for an answer.

     “Michelle is like me, but Josie is happy to be Jo. He just wanted to see what it was like to be a girl for the weekend.” Sara smiled as she looked at Josie sat next to her. “We’re going to spend the day shopping tomorrow, so she gets to see what fun us girls can have while out shopping.” Sara added with a grin this time.

     “That’s a very brave and caring thing you’re willing to do for your girlfriend Josie. How are you finding being a girl so far?” Hypatia asked as she looked at Josie for an answer this time.

    Josie looked a little nervous having this woman with the flaming red hair looking at her and expecting an answer, but she took a deep breath before giving her one. “Other than the physical changes to my body.” Josie looked down at her chest as she said this. “I can’t say I feel very different to how I felt as a male.” Josie added with a shrug.

     “How did you expect to feel?” Hypatia asked, not happy to let Josie get away with such a short answer.

     “I expected to feel weaker, like I’d need protecting more once I was a girl, but I didn’t.” Josie said looking a little confused.

     “That’s just a typical male response to what the world believes to be true, but women aren’t that delicate, as you can now see and feel for yourself.” Hypatia smiled as she raised a hand to indicate the way Josie looked right now.

     “I can see that now ma’am and I feel foolish for thinking such a thing in the first place.” Josie blushed as she was too scared to look Hypatia in the eyes as she said it.

     “There may be hope for you yet then Josie. We will talk more while we have lunch, but right now I feel like training with Sara, so if you will be so kind Prue, will you please show the others into the training room where Samantha has hopefully laid out drinks for you all.” Hypatia said as she got up from the sofa and then walked over and pulled Sara to her feet so they could go and get changed into some training clothes.

    Sara looked back over her shoulder and saw the worried look on Josie’s face and she just smiled at her to let Josie know that everything will be fine. Hypatia led Sara to a changing room where she promptly set about getting undressed in front of Sara like it was the most normal thing in the world to do. Not seeing any real problem with doing the same, Sara was soon getting undressed and then slipping on the tight shorts and sports bra top just like Hypatia was putting on.

     “Shall we go and try out some of these WWF moves I saw you use the other night?” Hypatia asked once they were both dressed and ready to go and train.

     “Let’s.” Sara said with a grin. “I promise to be gentle with you.” Sara added with a hand on her heart as she said it.

     “I promise no such thing in return child.” Hypatia said as she put her game face on. “It’s been some years since I had such a good work out like the one you gave me last weekend, and I am looking forward to much of the same today.” Hypatia added with a smile.

     “Please don’t be angry with Prue, but she told me about your true power level, and how you used to train with your brother.” Sara said with a nervous tone to her voice.

     “Prue talks too much, but its best you know who I truly am Sara if you’re going to put your life in my hands while we train.” Hypatia said as she looked to be thinking about what Sara thought to be her brother.

     “I’m sorry that you had to...” Sara couldn’t bring herself to say the word ‘kill’

     “Kill him? He didn’t leave me much choice, not that it would have worked.” Hypatia added at the end.

    Sara thought it was an odd way for Hypatia to phrase it the way she did and how it hadn’t worked, but she didn’t want to give Hypatia anymore painful memories than she already had, so she let the subject drop as they entered the training room and they both saw Samantha serving the others drinks up the other end of the room. Sara tried to smile at Samantha, but she just looked away, letting Sara know she was still upset with her.

     “Do you think Samantha will ever forgive me for the other night?” Sara asked with a sigh as they started on a trip around the course Hypatia had set out in the large room.

     “Don’t worry about that now Sara, just focus on the course and getting around it as fast as you can.” Hypatia warned her.

    Sara did as Hypatia told her and they did nine more laps of the course before Hypatia took Sara over to the training mats so they could do some real training against each other. Sara was doing fine till she saw Samantha out the corner of her eye and she dropped her guard just as Hypatia lashed out with a blow to Sara’s head. Sara was sent flying across the room where she crashed into the wall and fell to the floor dazed, but thanks to the ring and its protection, not badly hurt. What did shock Sara was the speed at which Samantha was at her side making sure she was alright.

     “Sara! Sara! Are you alright?” Samantha asked looking worried.

     “I thought you’d be glad to see your Mistress knock me around a bit.” Sara said as she sat up and shook off the blow before getting to her feet as she saw the others running over to make sure she was alright.

     “I’m sorry if I made you think I hated you that much Sara.” Samantha said with a hurt look. “Yes I was angry with you, but not enough to wish you hurt.” Samantha added as she pulled Sara into a hug with her.

     “I warned you to focus Sara.” Hypatia said when she got to where Sara was being hugged by Samantha. “You should have been able to block that punch with ease.” She added when she saw that Sara was fine.

     “You should pick on someone your own size you big bully.” Samantha said in a scolding tone as she looked at Hypatia.

     “You’re my size; do you want to teach me a lesson Sammi?” Hypatia asked with a grin.

     “I’m a lover not a fighter.” Samantha grinned back.

     “When I let you.” Hypatia said in a mocking tone. “Does this mean you’ve learned that sometimes other’s needs are greater than yours?” Hypatia asked with a raised eyebrow.

     “Yes Mistress, please forgive me for being so selfish.” Samantha said as she dropped to her knees at Hypatia’s feet.

     “You’ll get your forgiveness later in my bedroom you little minx, now go and take care of our guests while I carry on training with Sara.” Hypatia said as she helped Samantha to her feet again.

     “Don’t you think she’s had enough for one day?” Karen asked as she got to where Sara had hit the wall before falling to the ground.

     “Not yet Karen. I want to see how she copes after taking a hit like that, and I think she will be more focused now as well.” Hypatia smiled as she held out her hand to lead Sara back over to the training mats to carry on.

    Samantha led the others back over to the tables at the other end of the room and she had to force Josie down into her seat before going to get them all another drink.

    Sara and Hypatia were soon going at it again, and Hypatia was right, Sara was more focused and she was enjoying the training session even more than she had the weekend before. Hypatia found it relaxing in an odd way to be able to fight and not hold anything back.

*****

    Sara and Hypatia had trained for longer than they planned, so Samantha had taken the others for a tour of the grounds. They were all sat out in the garden waiting for Samantha to bring out lunch when Sara and Hypatia joined them after taking a shower and getting dressed again.

     “Are you okay Sara?” Josie asked looking worried when she helped Sara take a seat next to her at the large table. “That was some blow you took earlier.” Josie added as she looked for any damage to Sara’s face, but she couldn’t find any.

     “Don’t worry Josie, I heal fast, and the necklace Sheana charmed for me helped protect me from the worst of the blow.” Sara smiled reassuringly when she saw how worried Josie was for her safely.

     “I’m always going to worry about you Sara.” Josie frowned.

     “I bet you will.” Sara said with a warm smile as she thought about Jo and Josie both worrying about whether or not she’d be safe while out fighting demons and the dreaded men in black that keep showing up.

     “You have a lovely home Hypatia.” Karen said while they all started eating the food Samantha had spent most the morning sorting out for them.

     “Like I said to your daughters last weekend, I do like this one the best out of all the places I own.” Hypatia smiled as she looked around the large garden area they were seated in while they ate. “I hear you got a promotion at your place of work.” Hypatia added as she put a fork full of food in her mouth to hide the smirk.

     “Yes I did, but how would you know about that?” Karen asked looking puzzled. “Did Sara tell you about it while you trained?”

     “I never said anything about it.” Sara said after she’d finished chewing and swallowing the mouth full of food she’d just put in.

     “Then how could you possibly know about my promotion?” Karen asked as she looked at Hypatia for an answer.

     “Simple Karen, because I told them I wanted you to take over the running of the company.” Hypatia said just before putting another fork full of food in her mouth.

     “You’re the new owner of the company I work for?” Karen asked after she almost choked on a piece of chicken that went down the wrong hole. “But why would you do such a thing?”

     “You have two very special daughters Karen, three if you count Sandy.” Hypatia looked at Sandy and smiled as she said that last part. “I didn’t want you worrying about money as well as what your daughters are doing, so I brought the company and made it so you had a sizable pay increase. I can also help to keep the military off your backs this way.” Hypatia added with a grin.

     “Did you have something to do with Sandy’s new job as well?” Sara asked as she started to put all the pieces together.

     “Yes, Sandy will be working for one of the design company’s I own.” Hypatia smiled. “Sammi was telling me about the trouble you’d had back in your old home town, and the dream you had about becoming a fashion designer, so I’ve got you in on the ground floor at one of my studios, but you will have to work hard and learn all you can Sandy.” Hypatia said in a warning tone. “I don’t believe in handing out free rides to people.”

     “I won’t let you down Hypatia.” Sandy said with a serious look on her face. “And thank you for giving me a chance.” Sandy added looking happy again.

     “I will also earn the extra pay you’ve sorted out for me Hypatia.” Karen said looking just as serious as Sandy just had.

     “You already do earn the pay you now get Karen.” Hypatia smiled. “I can see you doing some great things with the company now you have the power to do what you want.” Hypatia said with pride.

     “Thank you for all the help with my family and our future.” Karen said with a bow of her head.

    Hypatia was glad when lunch was out the way, because she needed to have a word with Sara about some sort of disguise to stop the MIB’s working out who she was.

     “Sara? We need to talk about changing the way you look when you go up against the men in black as you call them, and we still need to have a talk about this new information you have on them as well.” Hypatia said as she rubbed her hands together.
