CHAPTER 9

Karen noted George’s reaction and turned to me.

“It’s the only way!”

I nodded. George looked stunned.

“There is no way you are going to make me into woman. No way!”

“George, we must get on that ship. How else?”

“Do I look like female material? I’m 6’ 2” and weigh 220 pounds.”

I laughed.

“You haven’t seen the miners on Fledora.”

I looked back at Karen.

“What do you have in mind?”

“This resort caters to every need. They have a spa that can do wonders. It’s not real transformation like on Fledora but it will look like it.”

“George, please try it. If it doesn’t look right, we will think of something else.”

Of course, we both knew there was no other way. George put his head in his hands.

“Why me!”

Finally, he looked up at me.

“OK, but you owe me big time. If any one laughs, I’m out of here.”

“Don’t worry, no one laughs at Karen’s women.”

Karen clapped her hands to gather.

“Great! I’ve already set up the appointment. Let’s go back to my room and we will get the ball rolling.”

George still looked pale but he followed us without further comment. Once in Karen’s room, she pulled a suit case out of the coat closet.

“I’ve got everything you’ll need right here. Gina, can you stay here and watch after Raylan?”

I beamed.

“It will be my pleasure. He’s not getting out of my site until we get on that ship.”

Karen grinned.

“I’m glad you two are back together. Even though I knew nothing about the kidnapping, I feel responsible. I imagine Mary will feel the same.”

I grimaced.

“I’m afraid Mary’s reaction may be a bit overboard when she sees you. But, I’m sure you know that. We will try to keep you two separated once on the ship.”

Karen nodded.

“My thoughts exactly. Maybe some day she will forgive me.”

She turned to George.

“Are you ready?”

“Not hardly!”

Karen laughed.

“OK, let’s go.”

They left the room and I picked up Raylan.

“I’m sure glad to see you. We will be with your mommy soon.”

Of course, Raylan had no idea what I said but he gurgled anyway. It sure was good being back together.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we left the room, Karen took hold of my hand.

“Don’t worry, George, nothing will be done that is permanent.”

I nodded.

“I kind of figured that but it doesn’t help.”

Karen laughed.

“Just go with the flow. Look at it as a new and wonderful adventure.”

I grimaced.

“Yeah, right.”

We walked down to the spa and were met by a very large lady.

“George, this is Vernice. She used to work for me on Fledora but came here with my team. She is a genius.”

“Don’t worry about a thing dear. We will take good care of you.”

She led me into a side room. A table was in the center with cabinets and a sink along the back wall.

“Just lie down on the table and we will get started. Oh, you need to disrobe first.”

I took off my shirt and pants. I started to lie down but she grabbed my arm.

“All of it, George.”

“I don’t know. This is getting a little unsettling.”

She nodded.

“Be right back.”

She came back in a couple of minutes with a glass of something.

“Here, drink this. It will relax you.”

I took it and drank it down. It tasted vaguely like raspberries.

“Now, lie down. I’ll let you rest a minute before we start.”

Lying down, I thought ‘what the hell am I doing!’ I felt a little funny. I must have dosed a minute because I snapped awake suddenly. Something was not right. I looked down to see ---- well, breasts!

“Shit!”

Obviously, I had been asleep for more than a minute. I started to get up but I was light headed.

“Don’t worry, you’ll feel better in a few minutes.”

I looked over to find Vernice standing by the door.

“What did you do?”

She smiled.

“We gave you your womanly attributes like Karen ordered. The rest will take a little time.”

“What do you mean ‘the rest’?”

“Well, we glued on fake breasts and vagina. The active ingredient in that drink forms your curves but it takes a while. You should be ready by morning.”

I tried getting up again, this time with better results. There was a mirror next to the door. I walked over in front of it. To say I was shocked was an understatement. Looking back was me with breasts and a vagina. I still was me, otherwise.

“Oh, this is great.”

She laughed.

“We are not through. Put your clothes back on and go to your room. The other changes will happen overnight. In the morning, I will come to your room and finish up.”

I shook my head and dressed. I hurriedly left the spa and went back to our suite. I walked in to find Gina sitting on the couch feeding Raylan. She started to say something but I held up my hand.

“Don’t say a thing. I’m going to bed.”

I couldn’t bear to undress so I went to bed in my clothes. I must have still been feeling the affects of that drink because I went right to sleep.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After feeding Raylan, I decided it would be best if I slept on the couch. I didn’t think George was in any mood for company. I really felt sorry for him. I know this is very hard on him but it is the only way to get him on that ship. I fixed a makeshift crib on the floor next to the couch for Raylan. I sure didn’t want him to fall off the couch. After placing his sleeping form on the pillow, I laid down. Tomorrow was likely to be a crazy day. The next thing I knew, a knock on the door woke me up. God, it couldn’t be morning already but it was. I opened to door and a large woman blew in.

“I’m Vernice. Where’s our new girl?”

“He’s still asleep, I guess.”

“You mean she don’t you?”

I rolled my eyes. Vernice proceeded into the bedroom without knocking. She was carrying the suitcase Karen had shown us yesterday. I soon heard a commotion. It seemed like the best thing to do was stay here. I changed Raylan and then fed him. The noise had died down in the bedroom. A little bit later, the door opened and Vernice breezed out.

“She’s ready. I called Karen and she is on her way. Bye.”

With that, she left. Karen came in a minute later. George hadn’t come out yet and I didn’t have the courage to go in.

“How’s our new recruit?”

“Karen, go easy on him --- er, her. This is a hard one to take.”

She laughed.

“I can imagine. By the way, do you have contact with your ship?”

“Yes, we have kept Coop updated.”

“It probably will be best to have your ship shadow the shuttle to the alien ship. Does it have any armament?”

I laughed.

“You remember James Cooper.”

“Sure, he worked for me for a while.”

“Yeah, I know. He designed the laser we have on board. Actually, the ship was built around the laser. Coop says it is the most powerful one in the galaxy.”

“Wow, Fledora is coming on fast. OK, have him stand by when we get to the ship. He may have to take out their drive engines when you make your escape.”

Just then we heard a high pitched scream come from the bedroom. Karen and I looked at each other.

“Shit! I guess George is up.”

We ran into the room to find George standing in front of a full length mirror. I have to say, he looked very female. He was wearing a red dress that came down to about 2 inches above the knees. His hair was in a French braid and came half way down his back. The dress hugged his new curves nicely. He was a big woman, for sure, but would not look out of place on Fledora. Since he was going as one of Karen’s team, he looked just right. George looked over at me in a panic.

“God, this is too much and I sound like a monkey with laryngitis.”

“Nonsense, you look and sound very nice.”

He glared at me.

“I ought to punch you in the nose for this but I never hit a woman.”

I rolled my eyes. Karen was smirking. Thankfully, George did not see her.

“This is only until we get Mary and Linda off that ship. Hang in there!”

He sighed.

“I’ll never live this down.”

“Don’t worry, no one will ever know but us.”

Karen piped up then.

“You will be fine, Georgia. I have a crew getting the shuttle ready. We will leave in about an hour. What say we get some breakfast.”

He glared at Karen.

“Georgia now is it. Well, I’m not going out for breakfast like this.”

“No one will notice a thing especially since you are with me. You need to get more comfortable in your role like Gina here. Come on, you’ll do fine.”

He shook his head. I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the bedroom. I picked up Raylan and we left the suite. George reluctantly followed us to the breakfast bar. We filled our plates and sat down. I looked over at George.

“You OK?”

“I guess.”

I noticed a woman looking at us. Karen glanced at her and waved. The woman got up and headed our way. George was starting to panic again. I laid my hand on his knee. The woman addressed Karen.

“Hey Karen, I guess this must be the Gina we have heard so much about.”

She stuck out her hand.

“Good to finally meet you.”

She then looked over at George.

“And who is this? I might take this one off your hands.”

Karen laughed.

“No you don’t. We have to go up to the ship in a few minutes.”

The woman smiled at George.

“I’ll be waiting when you get back.”

George turned bright red and got chocked. The woman laughed and went back to her table. I patted his knee.

“She was just pulling your chain.”

“Yeah, well, I don’t like it.”

We hurriedly finished eating and headed for the shuttle. I kept an eye on George. He seemed to be settling down. I opened the hatch and we went inside.

“OK, everyone strap in. I’ll power up.”

I checked everything. Karen’s team had done a good job getting the shuttle ready. I turned on the com unit and contacted Coop.

“Hey, Jonnie, what coordinates do you have for that ship?”

I turned to Karen.

“We don’t need any. As soon as we leave Prowhiness, they will guide us to them.”

“OK, I’ll just hang behind you.”

“Thanks, Coop.”

I turned to George and Karen.

“Let’s launch!”
