Sometimes a name is all you need, and sometimes its the wrong name

I was excited today. For the first time in two years, I was going to practice on a real spring mat again.

It's possible, but not easy, to do floor gymnastics without one. I have been using just our grass yard for the last two years since elementary school.

I stopped taking lessons after that because I was getting to old my mother said. They didn't have a floor mat in junior high school when they did what they called gymnastics. But this year I will be going to high school and they have one.

My older sister was one of the cheerleaders in high school.

The teacher, Mrs. Walker, said that I could come in and practice on one-half of the mat while the cheerleaders were out using the other half. They weren't going to use all of it, just half. So while they were using their half, I could use the other half. I was going to be in seventh heaven.

When we got to school the Mrs. Walker wasn't there. I was so disappointed, because I thought that the other teacher wouldn't allow me to work out.

Still since the person that was there didn't know who was a cheerleader and who wasn't, so I just took my hair and put it into a high pony tail like my sister and just walked in with Sis.

Then while they went going to the locker room to change, I just went to a corner and slipped off my sweat pants. I was wearing gym clothes that kinda looked like the girls did when they practiced, so I didn't think that she would even notice that I was different.

Teachers can be so stupid some times.

Right after the girls all left for the locker room, I started in with some very simple floor exercisers to warm up with.

The substitute looked over at me and said. “And who are you?”

“Julian” I said.

“Well Julie Ann before you get going too much, why don't you do some warm ups and stretching so
you don't hurt yourself doing all of that tumbling.”

“OK, I forgot.” I said like I was a dumb girl who would forget something like that. And then I started with some upper body stretching to get looser.

The girls started to come out of the locker room at about that time. I knew most of them, as Sis has had them for sleep overs and parties over the last two years to our house. They saw what I was doing and started in on their own version of easy warmups.

When all of them were out the Mrs. Johnson said “Mrs. Walker couldn't make it today so I said that I'd fill in for her. She said there are a couple of things that has to be done today.

First thing is that we have to get ready for the back to school week and the pep rally on Friday and school spirit week in the first week of school. So you have to do make sure that the new girls know all of the cheers for them.

Also you have to measure yourselves for your uniforms today, Mrs. Walker has to order them no later than tomorrow. Mrs Walker told me to have everyone fill out on this card for each persons uniform tonight, and to be put on the final list for the office for the cheerleader squad.

So get in groups of three, one of you measure, the other one write down the measurements, and of course one of you will have to be measured. After you have each switched off, we can then start in on the your practicing cheers.”

As she finished that everyone got up, so I did also. I was walking back to the other side of the room to do some floor exerciser when I heard Nancy call out. “And where do you think you are going Julian?” Nancy was the cheerleader captain.

I turned around and she recognized me at once. “Hello Julian, what are you doing here?”

“Mrs. Walker said that I could practice my floor gymnastics while my sister was practicing with the rest of the cheer-squad.” I replied

Susan called out “Nancy, we need one more person to help in measuring.”

Nancy turned around and looked at Susan and said “OK”

Susan was one of the new cheerleaders this year. Sis had told me in a rare moment of confidentiality that she was also one messed up girl. She had gotten date raped last year and was now a boy hater. Sis said that Susan would like nothing better than to hang all males on the planet by their dicks.

“Julian why don't you come and help us for a second, for me please.” Nancy said.

I'd do anything for Nancy, she was the hottest babe in the world. I walk with her back to the other girls who were measuring each other. “Here Julian, help your sister and Susan with their measurements.” she said.

Sis looked startled and worried and said “Susan can measure me and you write them down.”

“Then your sister can measure me while you write them down, and then I can write them down while your sister measures you.” Susan said.

“Why do I have to get measured?” I asked.

“So that it looks like we all did each other silly.” Susan said.

So that's just what we did. I didn't notice it at the time, but Susan handed in all three cards.

I was on my way back to my interrupted floor exercises when Nancy called “Julian, could you come and help me for a minute?”

I of course didn't say anything, but changed directions and went back to where the girls were lining up. “Could you please take my place Julian so that I can make sure that the other new girls are doing what they are suppose to do.” Nancy said.

I just took her place and put out my hands like I had pompoms like everyone else. It was not the first time that I had helped Nancy like this. They girls were always practicing at home with my sister. So I knew most of the cheers already, from almost everyone else place.

We started the easy 'Give me a B' cheer. Changing the letters each round. I'm sure that the cheer has not changed for the last million years. By the time that we had done it all the way through with out any of the new girls making a mistake, it had been a half an hour.

“Once more Julian.” Nancy asked while smiling at me.

I never did get to do any of my gymnastic floor exercises like I had wanted to. I had ended up the whole time in Nancy's spot.

At the end Susan said, “Maybe we should just add Julian to the squad since she knows all of the routines as well as anyone. And with her gymnastic training she could help out later when we start competitions. We could dress her up as a mascot” Susan said my name making it sound like Julie-Ann. I hated it when she did that, and I think that she always did that just to annoy me.

“That sounds like a great idea Susan.” Nancy said. “All in favor of making Julian the mascot of the pep-squad say aye” Everyone said 'aye'. “It's settled, your now on the pep-squad Julian. Now you have to be here for all of the practices.”

“Don’t I have to try out for it or something?” I said trying to find a way out of 12 girls getting their way. “Wouldn't all of the girls that tried out and didn't get on it be really mad!”

“Well you just tried out, and won, so case closed, you have been selected and that's final. You're better than any of the other girls that tried out. We need you to show us some of your gymnastic stuff that we can use in our dance routines. And there is no one else more suitable to be our mascot.”

“But the school mascot is a girl mermaid!” I remembered.

“We'll do something about that. But being on the pep-squad is the easiest way to get noticed for dates. Have you ever heard of any of us being with out a date to anything we wanted to go to? You'll have them lining up just asking for your phone number. Just ask your sister.” Nancy said.

“Just what I need, a bunch of stupid boy jocks lining up to get my phone number.” I sarcastic replied.

“Don't knock it till you've tried it” Sis said.

“I'll pass.” I said. “Can we go home now?”

“Just a second Julian, I need to have a chat with Mrs. Johnson for a second.” Sis said.

She walked over to talk to her while I went to my corner to get dressed. I noticed that Mrs. Johnson looked over at me a couple of times and nodded her head OK a couple of times.

Then Sis came and got me, and we went out to her car to go home.

“Why did Susan want me on the pep-squad?” I asked Sis. “I thought that you told me that she hated boys.”

“Yep, she hates anything and everything that wears pants.” Sis said.

“Then why did she pull that joke about me being in the pep-squad?” I asked.

“Oh, I think that's just her trying to embarrassed another guy.” Sis said. “Don't worry about it, or take it personally.”

The next day Sis came into my bedroom, without knocking as usual and said “You have to come to practice again, you might have to help out.”

OK, but just a little, I would really like to work on my gymnastic floor routines also.” I said.

Well if you don’t want to come and help” She started.

No no no, I'll help, It'll be worth doing this to be able to use the floor mat. You know that I don’t mind helping, but I want to work out too. Just doing those cheers of yours is not the same as a full floor workout.”

OK, just be ready at four-thirty” Sis replied.

Why so early? Your practice doesn't start till five and it's just around the corner.”

All of the girls are getting together before practice at either Nancy's or Susan's first before we go. We want to try something before practice begins. Nancy said that you'd be perfect in helping us out this once.” Sis said.

* * * * * * * *

At four-thirty I was ready. I had on my normal workout clothes, a T-shirt, shorts and sweat pants again.

We're going over to Susan's house, so hurry up.” Sis said.

I followed Sis out the door and got in the passenger side of her car. Susan lived about 20 miles away.

When we got there, we went into the back yard. They had a pool, but there was also enough grass for the girls to practice on next to it. The girls were all talking together, but were silent as soon as they saw the two of us come through the backyard gate.

Hello Mary-Ann and Julian, you got here just in time. We were just about to try and make the pyramid. And since Julian is here and is the smallest she can be on top while we try this.” Susan said.

But I'm not a cheerleader.” I said, ignoring Susan's us of female pronoun for me again. She was always doing that, just to irritate me.

Sure you are Julian, we made you one yesterday” Nancy responded.

But I don’t want to be a cheerleader, I want to be part of the boys gymnastics team.”

Well Gymnastics doesn't start till after football season, so why don’t you help us out til then?” Nancy said.

If you enrolled in sixth period as part of the cheer-squad, then you would be able to use the spring mat all year long instead of just half the year” Sis said.

Sis always did play dirty. She knew that I wanted to practice more than anything “Can I just be like a helper, and not have to do cheering?” I asked cautiously.

Julian, you're here because I know that you can help us with the cheering competition. Coaches have been training you for floor exercises for years your sister told us” Susan said,

We can use some of your expertise in gymnastic floor exercises that we don’t know how to do. So what you know will be giving us an edge over everyone else. Are you going to let me down and not help? ” Nancy asked with a pout on her lips.

I couldn't refuse that. “OK, as long as I don’t have to cheer, I'll help you all I can”

That's what I needed to hear from you Julian, OK girls, lets try to do that pyramid thing the way we discussed earlier.” Nancy said.

The four biggest girls lined up at the edge of the grass, next to the pool. Three girls got behind them and crawled up on their shoulders. That looked scary already. Then two more of the smallest girls then started to climb up on top.

Nancy then said. “OK Julian, go around back next to the pool and climb up on top. Your the smallest.”

I was caught up in the excitement I guess. I didn't think or pay attention to where they had started, if I had I would have refused to do it for safety reasons. But I had always wanted to be the top of a gymnastic pyramid. I went behind them and then started to climb up. The last two girls stood behind and helped me to start. I was at the going toward the top, so started to climb on the last two girls , when I felt the pyramid starting to fold under me.

The two girls under me started down forwards. I knew that it wasn't to high for me to fall and roll, but I was concerned with the two girls under me going forward toward the grass. I realized that the pool decking was just behind me. I looked over my shoulder and then knew that the only way I was not going to get hurt, or let anyone else hurt themselves, was to land in the pool. The two girls that was catching at ground level would be able to help the two under me, but not me also, and the three under them would be OK, if I didn't fall on them, which I couldn't do if I fell on the grass.

So I decided to do what I had to, and dove for the pool. It was kind of a bad idea for them to do this so close to the pool, but it was too late to complain about that now. They had so much grass area to work with instead. I hit the water and was at the bottom of the pool before I knew it. I pushed off of the bottom and came up with no problem. I looked at the girls and none of the girls were hurt thankfully. So I swam to the side and climbed out.

Anyone hurt?” Nancy asked.

No-one said anything, so she continued “Lets get going then, it's almost time for practice now anyway.”

The girls started giggling and heading for the gate. A few looked at me and said they were sorry I got all wet like that but they would see me at school. After a few minutes, the only ones that were left were Susan, Nancy and my sister.

Hey Susan, want to come with Julian and me to school?” Sis asked.

Sure Many-Ann, I'd love to lets go” Susan said.

hmm Julian, you can't get into my car all wet like that.” Sis said.

What do you suggest I do Sis?” I said.

Susan said. “Well you can't stay here Julian, my parents would have you jailed if they come home and find a guy here you know.”

Don’t look at me Julian.” Nancy said. “You can't get in my car all wet either.”

Well he can't go in wet clothes either” Sis said, “So why don’t you go to the bathroom and get out of those wet cloths and we'll see what else we can get for you to wear.”

I went to the pools bathroom that also served as the changing room. I took off my wet sweat pants, shorts, jock strip and T-shirt, and dried off with a towel that I found hanging in the bathroom.”

Hand them out here so that Susan can put them in the dryer while we are gone.” Sis said. “And Susan is getting you some shorts and a T-shirt so we can go.

I handed out my clothes and two seconds later Sis knocked at the door and said “Here's something for you to wear while we are at practice.”

I opened the door a crack and grabbed a wad of clothes. They were all PINK!. “Hey, I can't wear these, they are all pink”

Just get them on Julian!” Sis said loudly “we don’t have time to waste, we're already going to be late, so just shut up, put them on, and lets go.”

I was not happy. I debated just staying here and facing jail, but Susan said that her parents would call the police and I'd have a criminal record. I'm sure that I'd be in jail in no time with what I wearing. I was sure that Susan's parents would think of a naked boy in their bathroom, or even a guy dressed in Susan's PINK clothes a pervert.

Can you ask Susan if she can get something of her dads that would fit me?” I asked in desperation.

Julian, put them and and lets go, we don't have time for this. I'll loan you my sweater when you get out, OK?” Susan said.

OK,” I put them on. It was pink girl pink panties, pink shorts and a pink T-shirt that said 'Girl Power' on it, there were also really short, pink socks, and pink matching shoes. Everything was tight fitting, except for the shoes which was the right size.

I opened the door expecting to be laughed at. But instead, they just looked at me for a few seconds before Susan said, “That will work out perfectly.”

Sis said. “Perfect, lets go.”

I think that I want to go with you to Mary-Ann” Nancy suddenly said.

OK Nancy, but lets hurry, we don’t want to miss the big practice now do we!”

Definitely not! So lets hurry.” Susan said.

We ran to the pool gate, Susan only stopped to lock it behind her. I got in the front seat with my Sis, but she made me get out and ride in back with Susan to let Nancy ride up front with her.

As soon as Susan got in we were on our way.

You need to fix your hair Julian” Susan said. “Turn your back to me so that I can fix a ponytail for you.”

I turned around to let Susan fix my hair. As she started to comb it out, I realized that she must be using her own brush from her purse. Knowing how much Susan hated boys, I thought that this must be really hard for her, so I sat real still letting her brush and tug it as much as she wanted. I knew that she was making it on almost the top of my head instead of down low like guys wear, but what the heck, it must be good for her to at least touch a boy again with out shuddering. I've seen her shy away from boys just passing her in the halls and sidewalks trembling so badly that I felt sorry for her.

I tried to listen to Nancy and Sis in the front seat, but they were not talking. Sis had turned the mirror so that she could keep an eye on me. I knew that she must be worried about what Susan was doing, and making sure that I didn't do anything that would cause her some mental anguish. All of the cheerleaders seemed to watch out for Susan all of the time.

All finished Julian, let me see your hands.” She said.

I turned around and held out my right hand.

My god, how can anyone have such horrid hands. Let me see the other one too.”

I held them both out as she put her brush back in her purse and was getting out some other things.

Now hold them still, we haven't got any time to waste.” she said.

Then she gripped my hand and pulled it toward her, where she grasped just a finger and started to use a file on it.

This is never going to work, wait a minute I have something. Just hold on a second.” She said.

She reached back into her bag and came up with a plastic kit of stuff. Susan opened it up and put it on the seat between us. I could see long finger nails in the kit. I started to draw my hands back.

Don’t move your hands Julie Ann.” Susan said.

Sis from the front seat said. “Hold still Julian.” The first words that I had heard from her since we pulled out of the driveway.

I put my hands back, dreading what I knew was coming next. It was confirmed as she pulled a nail out of her box and said. “These are only temporary for now, I don’t have any nail hardener or clear polish, to fix your nails, and it would take too long anyway, but for just today you will just have to wear my nails. But you have to promise me that you'll be careful with them and give them back after-wards. I was saving them for the next school dance.”

I felt like a fool. But I also was felling good in a way. That must have been because Susan was touching a guy again and not drawing away, but even talking to me, (a one sided conversation to be sure) but I felt that I was helping her overcome her problem with guys, It might be a little step, but at least it was a step for her.

We spent the rest of the short trip with her putting on these stupid nails of hers. They were a light pink so they seemed to match the rest of this outfit that I found myself in.

At the school Sis parked and we got out. There was practice for football just starting. Two boys pulled up beside us and started getting out. As we got out, the girls got wolf whistles.

The girls ignored them so I guessed that was the thing to do, so I followed them toward where the practice was going to take place.

When we got to practice Mrs Walker was there. She looked up at me, and then did a double take. I just surged my shoulders. What else could I do? She motioned me over, but all of the girls came over. Just before we got there the other girls mobbed me. “Your so cute Julie Ann”, “That's such a cute outfit girl.” “Welcome to the Cheer-squad”

By the time that I got loose from the girls making fun of me and to Mrs Walker I started to hear the three girls with Mrs. Walker,

... so the Cheerleaders have decided to let her into the cheer-squad and so now we have a chance at the 'All Girls Cheer Competition' this year using what she knows about dancing.”

But it's an all girl event. We have to follow the rules you know girls.” Mrs. Walker said.

I was thankful for about two seconds.

But my sister is a girl Mrs. Walker, we looked it up. According to state law any person that is in transition to a sex different than their birth sex is considered to be the sex they are transitioning to, for all school events and shall not be denied any privilege, right, or anything else.” my sister said.

Julian is my sister as you can see, and she was voted onto the squad by 100% vote during her try-out, which was yesterday according to school rules.”

Mrs. Walker looked at me for a full minute at least, I thought that it was a million years. I was to horrified to say anything.

You seemed to have covered everything girls, but it's too late. The list for the squad and the uniforms have already been ordered yesterday, Julian will just have to wait till next year.” She finally said.

We've already covered that also Mrs. Walker, I turned in her name as part of the squad and also filled out her card for her uniform and also her mascot dress, it'll be here tomorrow.” Susan said.

What about her name, you can't have a Julian on in an all girl school competition.” Mrs. Walker said.

I was so relieved.

We did put Julian on it, we just spelled it J-U-L-I-E space A-N-N like her sisters is spelled.” Susan said.

I don't know what was said after that. I fainted.

Chapter 03

I woke up laying on the floor at the side of the Gym. Sis was watching over me me.

You have to tell Mrs. Walker that you intend to be a girl all year long, and that's what you've always wanted. I told her that you only wanted to come with me so that you could see how girls move so that you could imitate them. If you mess this up I'll kill you Julian.”

Why are you doing this sis?” I asked quietly.

Mostly because of Susan. She doesn't flinch when your around, so Nancy and I decided to see how close we can get you and her to be as friends. As you saw in the car, she treated you friendly, like a girlfriend. We have been planning this for months now since we saw she didn't react with panic whenever you came close. She just acts like your another one of the girls. And whenever she has said anything about you, she always used a female pronoun. So the two of us got together with the rest of the squad and set you up. Now you either go through with it or else you'll get into so much trouble that you'll never do gymnastics again. Here comes Mrs. Walker, play along, or your ass is mine!”

Mrs. Walker walked up just then. “How are you feeling Julie-Ann.”

I'm fine Mrs. Walker, It's just that I just got so excited about things.” I looked at Sis and hopped that she lead the way. I didn't want to test her on her threat. Sis never threatens without doing it. She said once that if she ever threatened me once and did not go through with it, next time I would think that she was bluffing. With all of the effort that she and Nancy had put into this, I knew that she was not bluffing.

Mary-Ann said that you wanted to join the squad Julie-Ann?” Mrs Walker said.

I winced at the name. She was obviously probing for answers that she wanted to hear from me. Answers that Sis had already prepared me to answer for her.

Nancy and the girls already said that I was on the squad.” I replied. Hoping that she would stop asking questions, but knowing that she couldn't until she got the answers that she wanted to hear.

Why would they say that Julie-Ann, squad tryouts was last spring. There were over a hundred girls who wanted the 12 spots on the squad. We've never had 13 girls on the squad. It's an unlucky number.” She said.

But she implied already that I was a girl, not a boy, and that I should be on the squad. I knew that I could get out of this now. But on the other hand if I did, Sis would make sure that I never was on the gymnastic team. But then again I would never be on the team if I said I wanted to be a girl. I started to wonder if I was talented enough to be on the girls team. That would require a lot more grace, that I know a guy would never have. If I said 'I'm a girl.', I'd never be on the team because I'd be a girl. If I said no, 'I'd never be on the team, because Sis would destroy me'. I just couldn't win.

Nancy and all of the other girls just said at the pool before coming here that I'd never have to cheer, I'd only help out, because of all of my experience on floor gymnastics.” I hedged. “So I'd not really be doing any cheering on the squad. I'd only be helping out with the dance routines because they call what I was doing on the gymnastic floor dancing.”

Mrs. Walker looked up at my Sis. She was looking for an explanation of the difference of what I said and what the girls were telling her I guessed. I bet that it was not exactly what they told her. I am sure that Nancy and her explained it as me being on the team like any of the other girls.

Well I am sure that I could use an assistant like that Julie-Ann, why don't you just sit here for a while more and rest. Mary-Ann, I think that Julie-Ann is okay enough that you can join the squid again now. And I think that we have a couple of things that we need to talk about also.” Mrs. Walker stated.

The squid huddled around Mrs. Walker, I knew that they were talking about me, because every once in a while a couple of the girls would look up at me simultaneously. It was clear that they were listening to some kind of plan from Mrs. Walker.

The squad broke up and went back to practicing cheers. Mrs. Walker approached toward me.

We have talked it over Julie-Ann and the squad has decided that the best thing that you could do was be the school mascot as part of the cheer-squad. Susan said that she would be in charge of making you a costume.” Mrs. Walker said.

What kind of new mascot would the school Mariners have I wondered. And more important what kind of costume would Susan think up for me?

You should think about how to use your moves on the gymnastic floor for being the mascot. Although you might be doing cheers, you will be helping with cheering practice Nancy said."

Chapter 04

I went over to my side of the practice floor and started on my normal exercisers. Thinking about other mascots that I had watched at football games, they usually did a lot of running around and getting the crowd excited by their antics. I could do that. In college there was that guy that rode around on a horse.
After practice Nancy, Susan and Sis was ready to go back to Susan's. I was ready to get out of all of this pink.
Nancy said “We put Susan in charge of the mascot costume. So you are going to have to wear what ever it is that she comes up with of course. It of course has to be tastefully done and done fast, so she said that she has something that she can use and just make a couple of changes to. So day after tomorrow you have have to be at her house at four so that she has time to make any last minute adjustments. Bridget and Teresa is choreographing a dance plan for you for all of our cheers and they also promised to be done day after tomorrow. They said that they have watched you before and will try to use as many of your moves as they can, fitting in your costume of course.”
After we got back into the car, I said “I was careful with your nails Susan, can you take them off now please.”
Sure I can Julie-Ann, just hold still” Susan said.
She dug into her bag and got out her nail kit. Ofter opening it and pulling out a few bottles, she said some words that were not very polite.
What's wrong?” Nancy asked from the front seat.
I only have the permanent glue in my kit, so I must have used it when I was putting on the nails.” Susan said.
What do you mean permanent glue?” I asked
Well it doesn't come off easily, and I don’t have the right stuff to get them off Julie-Ann.” Susan said.
But you have the right stuff at home?” I asked
No, There is nothing that takes them off. But it's OK, you can wear them till I can get some remover and take them off, just be careful with them Julie-Ann, I still want to save them for the Homecoming Dance next month.” Susan proclaimed.
Susan, but they get in the way of everything and guys will kill me for wearing them, I was very careful today, but I can't wear them for a month!”
They are not that long Julie-Ann, just be careful with them. Nobody will notice them I'm sure. Like we all wear them all of the time and guys never say anything, so your just worrying for nothing, it's no big deal to have long finger nails.” Susan said.
I was getting a little mad, okay a lot mad, and a lot scared. I would be toast if any guys that I knew saw me with them on. I already looked like a pansy wearing all of this pink stuff. Now I would have girl nails for a month.
Hey Sis, do you have any nail remover or clippers at home?” I asked.
You can't clip those nails Julie-Ann those are my fancy nails that I have been saving for the homecoming dance!” Susan practically yelled.
Nope, sorry Julian, I have never had to remove my nails. I don’t think that you can take them off once you have used that permanent glue that Susan used. Maybe mother will have something that we can use to take them off with.” Sis said.
I fumed the entire rest of the way to Susan's house.
We finally got back to Susan's house. I was looking forward to getting my clothes back on. As we pulled up I saw that there were two more cars in the drive way. Susan's mom and dad must be home.
I can't let your parents see me like this Susan” I cried.
Don't worry about it you look cute, they wont care.” Susan replied.
We got out of the car and walked into the front door.
Hello Dear, who is your new friend?” Susan’s mom said.
This is Mary-Ann's sister Julie-Ann.” Susan lied.
I thought that Mary-Ann had a brother named Julian” She said.
No, it's a sister, named Julie-Ann, mom, she was just elected to be the new school mascot.” Susan said, looked at her mother and then continued. “Can I have a sleep over with some of the girls next Thursday before school starts?”
First who would you invite, and second, don't you think that everyone would be busy getting ready for school?” Her mom answered.
They might be, but it's about the mascot, I was wanting to make sure that her costume was right for what I had envisioned, so I am sure that some of the girls on the pep-squad would want to see it, and then we could make any changes that we needed.”
What's her costume going to be Susan?” Her mom asked.
I was thinking of using that old mermaid costume that I had and make some changes to it for Julie-Ann” She said.
I just stared at her. I wasn't going to wear a mermaids costume to school, how embarrassing could that be?
Susan, how could I run around, with a fish's tail on?” I asked
Oh, I was planing to place you on a wagon that we have so that I could pull you around. Samantha is getting something that looks like seaweed from the drama department to decorate the wagon with. And one of the other girls was going to get her dad who owns a metal shop to make it look like a tank with glass sides. She said that he could make it so strong that we could hang you up with some invisible fishing line from the top, so that it looked like you were swimming. Then place some kind of plastic glass out the sides so that it looked like you were in water.”
That's a lot of work before the start of next week” I said, “Are you sure that it's worth it? For a couple of football games.”
Oh, we almost have it finished, we're planing on taking you to all of your classes for the first week of school in the tank. And it would be great at the pep rallies and basketball games, not to mention the baseball games, both the guys and girls games of course. So I think that your going to be really busy as the newest member to the cheer-squad” She announced with a great deal of excitement almost bouncing up and down in her excitement.
You know, come to think of it, I still have some of those plastic fish.” Her father said while looking preoccupied. “You know I have some real strong fishing line that I use to go deep sea fishing. You could use that Susan, and I bet that your mother could have that old costume sewn up by this afternoon.” Susan's father said.
You know dear, we could sew some heavy duty fishing line into your costume to hold Julie-Ann up. She doesn't look that big, in fact she looks more like a sixth grader than a high schooler” Susan's mom added.
Susan, do you think I could get my clothes from the dryer so Sis and I can go?” I asked.
Were those your cloths Julie-Ann, I'm so sorry, They looked like rags, so I gave them to the goodwill which just come tonight. Bob's always trying to wear things till they look like rags, and I'm always sneaking them out to the goodwill when I find them in the wash. I'm really so sorry, I'm surprised that Susan didn't remember that today was Goodwill pickup day. I am sure that we can find something from Susan's wardrobe that will fit you, and doesn't look so bad to replace them so that you can go home. I didn't know that any young lady would want to wear such clothes, I really thought they were Bobs. Lets go up to Susan's room and see what we can find for you. Something to replace the old ones with. It won't be as nice as the cloths you have on, but I feel so bad about this.” Susan's mom was almost in tears.
Mom, those are my cloths that she has on. Julie-Ann's a real tomboy and we were trying to get her feminine side to show more, her sister just didn't know what to do with her, did you Mary-Ann,” Susan said.
That's right, before today you couldn't tell that Julie-Ann was a girl instead of a boy.” Mary-Ann said, while looking right at me. “In fact I don't remember her ever wearing a dress, even today when she accidentally went into your pool, we couldn't get her to wear one, She even complained about these clothes as being too girly, when Susan loaned her those dry clothes.”
Well you can keep what you have on Julie-Ann, they are to small for me now anyway. And lets go up to my room and see about another outfit for tomorrow's cheer-squad practice. We can't have our newest member running around like a tomboy, now can we. The cheerleaders have an image to uphold and your not going to tarnish it, if it can be helped. So up to my room, and lets clean out my closet of all of my clothes that are to small for me, but will fit you.” Susan said.
That would be wonderful of you Susan, you 've always wanted a sister, I think that you have found one in Julie-Ann.” Susan's mom said.
The next hour was spent in Susan's room. It was a girly-girls room for sure. It also had a connecting bathroom where I could change into what they brought me. I spent an hour arguing with Susan's mom, Susan and my Sis about me wearing dresses. Never argue with three women at the same time, you'll lose, in fact never argue with one girl, you'll still lose ninety percent of the time, even if you think your winning.
I'm not going to wear girls clothes, and I'm not going to wear girls cloths to school, the guys would beat me to a pulp as a fag or a sissy.” I argued with Sis.
Not if they don’t know that you are a guy.” Sis whispered.
It's time to stop being a tomboy and be the girl that I know that you can be.” Susan added loudly. “No girlfriend of mine is going around looking like a boy.”
I suddenly realized that Susan had mixed it up in her mind that I was a boy. I think that she must be in denial or something. I was sorry for her all over again. What ever my problems with dressing like a girl, was nothing compared to her problems of dealing with boys.
You are entering high school, and even a part of the cheerleaders. You have to stop being a tomboy, and start growing up to be a cheerleader. And that means starting to show some respect for fashion.” Susan said.
I looked over at Sis and she nodded at me. I couldn't be sure if it was a nod for respect for fashion, or an understanding about Susan's mental problems. But I still knew one thing that she was not scared and withdrawn around me as she would be around any guy. So I'd play along, I would change and play dress up till I got home.
OK Susan, I'll try on one dress, but then Sis and I need to get home, After all girls need their beauty sleep.” I said.
Good girl,” She said and then kissed me on the mouth. It was a quick peck, but it was still on the mouth. Could she be attracted to me? As a girlfriend? As a boyfriend? It was hard to understand her, but one thing is for sure, She was thinking I was a girl at the moment.
That’s right Julie-Ann, Stacy will be over soon, and she's got something that you need, so we had better get going, like right now.” Sis said while looking at her watch.
OK, maybe you can try on the dress next time we're over, or the next sleepover party we have.” Susan said.
As we left Susan's house, me still in the pink outfit to my utter disgust, I asked Sis “Who is Stacy, and what do I need from her?”
She has a set of breast for you to wear when you need to.” Sis said matter of factually.
Why am I going to need a set of breast?” I had to ask.
Because your cheerleaders outfit has to have them, and have you ever heard of a flat cheated mermaid?” Sis said.
I thought that I was going to be a male mascot?” I asked again.
You are going to be the mermaid also, and that also requires that you look like you have a set of breast.” Sis said.
I guess I had misunderstood, I thought that I was just going to us the fish tail, you mean that I'm going to be a girl mermaid, and not a merman.” I said
Right, Stacy has a set of tape on breasts and a wig for you. That way no one will know who you are when you are the mascot. It will hide your shorter hair”
You mean tape on permanently like these nails from Stacy.” I asked holding up my hands.
No, Susan does those things not meaning to. She doesn't know what she's doing some of the time, OK, all of the time when dealing with guys. Consider it a mistake. You have to remember that Susan can not deal with guys, so she must be considering you a girl. She can deal with a girl, but not a guy. That must be why you can deal with her, and no other guy can. We thought that she was just getting use to you, but I guess now that she is seeing you as a girlfriend. She never has kissed anyone else either. So as long as you stay a girl, she's going to be a lesbian with you I guess.”
That was a long deep speech from Sis. I never knew that girls could think so deep. I had to think about it. I looked at Susan's nails. They did look pretty. Not on me, but maybe that was something that we all learned. Guys learned to enjoy and play football, girls learned to play with dolls, cook and sew. Who was I to say what was what? I knew who I was, what did it matter if I wore guy clothes or girl cloths, well except for getting beaten to a pulp, loosing all of my friends, and going against everything that other people cared about. But I cared about people too, and I cared about Susan, and if this would help Susan, then the other things I could learn to cope with. What was important in life?
Do you really think that me dressing up as a girlfriend to Susan is going to help her?” I asked Sis.
She kissed you didn't she? That alone must be something.” Sis said.
Did she kiss a girlfriend, or a boy dressed as a girl? What is it she sees?” I asked.
No one knows what she sees. Maybe you can become a friend that is close enough to her so that she will confide in you, and tell you what she thinks deep down inside.” Sis said after a moments thought.
If I go to school dressed as a girl, then the other guys are going to beat the hell out of me you know.” I advised her.
We have that covered. We have rearranged your schedule so that you are in Susan's classes most of the day.”
What do you mean that you have re-arranged my classes also?” I fumed.
Well we had to make you and Susan closer together all of the time, So we got you put into most of the same classes, we couldn't get you into all of them of course, but it was easy enough to get you into her English, math and history classes” Sis said.
What kind of classes were those?” I asked.
Well most of them are senior classes, but the other girls on the cheer-squad has said that they would help you. With all of the classes.” She said.
Yea, and what other classes did you put me in?” I asked.
Well we had to take you out of automotive and drafting and put you into home economics and art class because we can't have a cheer-leader in an all guys class, they would rape you someday. We only did it to protect you Julian.” Sis said.
Did you think that maybe that I maybe wanted to be in guy classes and not girls classes?” I said.
Yes Julian we thought about it, but look at it this way, what guy wouldn't want to be in a class of all girls?” Sis said.
Well I guess if your one of the girls in that class, or the single boy in that class Sis, which one am I going to be.”
Well we wanted to make sure that there was a cheerleader in each of your classes with you. So you'd be covered. We planned to teach you to be a convincing girl if Susan did accept you as a girl. So we both have a lot to do. Now, I have to admit, you were not going to be chosen for this years gymnastics team because they have too many seniors this year. You would not have been on the team this year in any case. But if you become part of the cheer-squad then you can still practice all of your routines on the spring mat, but we are just going to add a little to them for you, so that they look girlish for us, you know like shaking the shoulders and bum. Most of it will be clothes, hairdo, makeup and so on, but you at least can do gymnastics this year, and the whole year if you can accept the funny stuff that is going to happen? Can you accept that Julian?” Sis asked?
How long have you been planning this?” I had to ask.
About six months.” Sis said as we drove up the drive way to home.
That night Sis said that the cheer-squad had discussed it and they didn't want me to cut my hair again. The squad was going to take me to the beauty shop and get my hair styled for the new year. It was already longer than I had ever had it. That is because two years ago I had vowed I would not cut it until I was on a gymnastic team again. But I see that Sis was going to change it into a ponytail permanently.
Stacy came over about 15 minutes after we got home.
Hello Stacy, so nice of you to let us borrow these.” Sis said.
Well they were mom's when she had to have both breast removed because of her cancer.” Stacy said.
I'm sorry to hear that Stacy.” I said.
Well mom's dead now, and I decided that I don’t want these around the house anymore. So this is a good cause. So now lets get up to your room and lets see if they fit Julian.” Stacy said.
Up stairs, in my sisters room, Stacy pulled the two fake breast our of the boxes, I of course came in because I was curious about what fake breast looked like, after all I am male. Fake ones are just as fun to look at if you can't look at real ones.
Take off your shirt and lets see how these look Julian” Stacy said.
I complied and pulled off my shirt. Stacy took the right one and stuck it up against me. It was cold. I shank away till Sis told me to stop moving like that, they were trying to decide if it was the right color and if it would look good on me.
It does look a little large on him, doesn't it Stacy” Sis commented.
Well my mom was a C-cup, and Julian is a little small, so it only makes it look bigger on him, not like a skinny freshman in high school, more like a fully developed freshman in collage.” Stacy said. “She's sure to have a date to every dance this way.”
I'm not sure that we want Julian to be a sex pot, she might get so much attention that Susan will feel left out and ignored? That would not be good for her, after all, all of this is for her to come out of her shell.” Sis said with a very evil smile on her face.
Julian, if you get any dates, your just going to have to promise that you will not date unless it's a double date, and they find an acceptable guy for Susan also.” Stacy said.
I can promise you that there will be no dates with any guys, period, end of story.” I said.
Do we want Julian to be considered a stuck up snob?” Sis asked Stacy, ignoring me altogether.
You have to be a girl to be a snob, and you girls have forgotten that I'm not a girl, so there is not the slightest chance in hell of me accepting a date with a guy ever.” I said.
I think your right Mary-Ann, Julian is going to have to date some, just so that no-one thinks that she's a snob or a lesbian.” Stacy said.
But if you put those breast on me, I'll be a lesbian.” I said.
Maybe we can fix her up with someones brother? Maybe someone has a brother that's in collage that we can blackmail into taking her?” Sis said.
I'm not going on a date, and that's final.” I said.
Okay, now lay down on the bed for me Julian while I try on both breast at the same time. I have to make sure that they are both exactly in the right place. Before I tape them on.” Stacy said.
I don't know why, but I laid down on the bed. “Raise both arms above your head dear.”
They place each breast on my chest. The second one was cold, but the first one was already warm from being on my chest. “Hold still while I spread this stuff over your chest Julian.” Stacy said.
Is that stuff glue?” I asked.
No, it's just to keep the breast from sticking to your chest.” Sis said.
Stacy spread some on each of insides of the breasts also. “Now hold very still Julian, so that I can place these exactly where they go, and not be croocked.” Stacy said.
After about 15 minutes they let me up. When I rose I felt the breast sag one my chest and pull down on my chest. “Why aren't they falling off” I asked.
Well, I needed to make them hold still while I put the makeup on to cover the seams.” Stacy said. “Now hold still while I finish up with the makeup.”
Stacy spent a long time the putting makeup on the edges to cover up the place where it was me, and the edge of the breast. She talked the whole time. Things like “You have to make sure that you cover both yourself and the breast so that there is not one place that you can see where it changes from you to your breast.” and “We have to make sure that this done in a good light so that you can see the results.”
I watched her, and in no time I stood amazed. I couldn't tell where I ended and the fake breast started. “How come they don't fall off?” I asked again.
Silly, Susan said to make them stay on as long as the fingernails. After all, if you don’t have both on, then its a dead giveaway that your in drag.” Stacy said.
What? You didn't use the temporary tape like we discussed?” Sis exclaimed.
Oh, I mean oops, like was I suppose to like use the tape? like I mean I thought like Julian had already like agreed to help Susan out, like I mean like I thought that it was settled already?” Stacy blabbered.
Don't tell me, it's permanent and there is no remover for it for a month?” I said.
How did you know?” Stacy asked.
Just a guess, it seems strange that a month will be weeks after school starts. So if I start school like this it will be kind of hard to change then, wont it?” I said.
The two girls looked at each other and laughed. Not just a little giggle, but almost rolling on the floor.
I think I've been had.

Chapter 05

It was hard to sleep that night. School was starting on Monday and I was the fall guy of the Cheer-squad, and more importantly my sister.
I had to sleep on my back instead of my side because of these stupid breast they glued to me. Every time I would roll over they would drag me the rest of the way over. I only wanted to turn on my side, but they were to big and heavy and would drag me more than half way. That was a pain.
The second pain was the fingernails. They must have grown an inch last night. They seemed extreme this morning. I think they must have been an inch longer this morning. And they also seem to have designs in them that I didn't remember having last night. But they were still pink. This was Saturday. Two days before school. My parents didn't even know yet what the cheerleaders did to me. I got up and started to get dressed. It's not easy to get dressed in long fingernails. I finally got on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. A T-shirt that now had two nipples sticking way out the front.
I went down stairs to breakfast. I knew that Mom would know what to do. When I walked in, my parents just looked at me. Finally, Dad said, “hmm, I think she needs a bra Joan.”
Mom laughed. “Yes I think so Dear.”
I was flabbergasted. “If either of you haven't noticed it yet, your son has tits and fingernails longer than a yard stick.”
Yes dear, we noticed, how does it feel to be of the opposite sex now?” Mom said.
All I could do was look at her. This is not what I expected from my parents. I expected them to kill my sister for doing this to me. “Mom, Mary-Ann and a few friends did this to me, aren't you going to kill her.” I said.
No dear, I'm going to feed you and then find you a bra that fits, unless you would rather I find a bra for you before breakfast.” Mom said.
I think that you should go up and find her a bra first Joan. She would look like a slut sitting at the breakfast table with her two tits sticking through a T-shirt like that.” Dad said.
Your right Bill, Okay Julian, upstairs to my room and lets get you a bra first.” Mom said as she moved around the table. My mouth was open, she just pulled me by the arm toward the stairs.
Mom!” I cried.
Yes Julie ... Ann?” Mom said.
Are you going to let Mary-Ann get away with this?” I asked.
Yes, Julian, We are, Mary-Ann has already gotten away with it and there seems that there is not much that can be done about it dear.” Mom replied.
I marched into my parents room and there on the bed were a couple of bras already sitting out.
These are some of my old bras and one of Mary-Ann’s, but I don’t think that she is as big as you, so you'll probably have to wear one of my old ones until we go shopping today and get you some new ones. Mary-Ann spent an hour this morning talking to us before she had to leave.
From what she said there is not much that we can do for now. The fingernails are glued on and can only come off along with your own nails, and I know that it's a consideration, but after the pain of the first one, That will pass, so I'll just tell you you can't pull them off.
Then there are the breasts, and knowing that they used the same type of glue, I assure you that the only way that they will come off is with your skin. So you might as well forget that also.   
Was there anything else that she didn't mention? Did they glue your testicles, and pecker up yet, That would be the worst of all to undo, I can't even imagine you even thinking about pulling the glue from that area of your body Julie Ann.” Mom said.
Mom what am I going to do?” I asked.
Well I guess that you're going to try on this bra, I think it'll fit you just fine.” Mom said.
No, I mean about school Monday?”
Well, I guess that you have three options. First is to try to be a boy with tits, second is to try to be a tomboy, that is a girl that acts like a boy, or third you can try to be a girl that used to be a tomboy, now which one do you want to try?” Mom said.
I want to be a boy trying to be a boy without tits.” I said.
That wasn't one of the choices and you know it, sorry, but with tits like yours it's not going to happen.” Mom said.
This isn't fair.” I said.
No it's not fair Julian, but then again life's not fair, so what are you going to make of it? You can be the worst or the best, you have three selections to choose from, I know none of them are what either your father, me, or you had in mind for high school, but it's just for a while, and then the joke will be over, and everything will go back to normal. As your dad's always saying 'In the army just shut up and do what they say.'” I never understood why mom always used my dad's army sayings when she had never been in the army?
I took off my t-shirt and tried on the bra that Mom held out. She adjusted it to fit better and hold up those weights from pulling my chest off. I didn't notice that I had held out my hand for my t-shirt until I noticed that mom was not giving it back.
I have just the blouse for you. A nice blue one for a boy with tits.” Mom said with a grin on her face.
She handed me the blouse from her closet and said. “Come down stairs when you are properly dressed for breakfast.
After minor trouble with the buttons of moms shirt, because they were on the wrong side, I went down stairs again. Mom and dad was still at the breakfast table. It was quiet, so I knew that the talking had stopped just before I came in.
Much better Julian, there is nothing worst than having a girl without a bra wear in a t-shirt at the breakfast table, don't do it again Julian” dad said. “Or I will take you down to a local bar and enter you into a wet t-shirt contest.”
Bill!” mom exclaimed.
I saw dad just smile at mom and wink at her. I was not sure if he meant it or not.
Julian and I are going shopping today for clothes for the first week of school right after he eats.” mom explained to dad (and me).
I will not bore you with with shopping trip. Just suffice it to say that after 6 hours I ended up with two dresses, 5 blouses, 5 skirts, 8 pairs of nylons, and 3 pairs of shoes all with heels of various heights all of which I nearly killed myself wearing, and a bunch of under-stuff that a young boy should fail to mention before being married, and should never wear. I also ended up with cosmetics, more than my sister has I think. And worse a promise from my mother for me and my sister to go back to a class next week to learn how to wear it. A stop at a beauty shop resulted in my having a hair styled. They also put two earrings in and plucked my eyebrows while my mother stood over them and was over me the whole time saying, “Your tomboy days are over Julie Ann, it's time to look like a girl now.”
Mother made me wear new cloths as she bought them. By the time I got home my feet were killing me from learning to walk in the highest heels that she had bought me.
Julie I want you to take all of your stuff and put it on your bed now. Then meet me in the bath room, there still a few more things that I need to do.” mom said.
I soon found out what those 'few' things were. Shaving all hair from my legs, arms, underarms and face— not that I had much anywhere and Bubble baths with all of these oils.
It took me at least an hour to do everything that mom had asked. When I got back to my bed room, I was in for a bigger surprise. It was almost empty. My closet was empty, my drawers were empty, most of the walls were empty. Then only thing that was still there was the mound of girl clothes still on my bed. It fact it had been added to. I could see a bunch of my sisters things there. “MOM!”
Good dear, I see that you're out. Now, get dressed in your night clothes and help me hang up your new clothes. I also borrowed some of your sisters clothes, if she can get you into the mess, then she can also help you out don't you think.”
What happened?” I asked.
Well if you are going to try to be a girl for a while, then we don’t want anyone to accidentally come up to your bedroom and see that a boy lives here do you? What would be the consequence of that?” mom said.
What happened to everything?” I had to ask.
Oh, I just put them all in large plastic trash bags and stored them out of the way for a while so they wont be either in the way, or worst a temptation to you to wear, and we both know that the first time that I turn my back you will wear them. Not that I would blame you, but if you were to get caught wearing them it would be worst than you think.” mom said.
I had to think about that for a while and imagine what it would be like. “Yes mom, if I get caught I'll be beaten up for sure. So I don't like it but I guess that you are out to protect me. What's the saying, 'This is going to hurt me worst than you' I still don't believe it, but I hope it true here.”
It’s true dear, I don't like what happened, but I understand all of the girls are trying to do a lot of different things, it seems like every girls on the cheer-squad has a different reason to get you to join, but none of them are out to hurt you, that is the only reason that I have let this continue. So remember, no-one is out to get you, they are all trying to do something good, and this is the best way they can see to do it that. Can you remember that?” mom asked.
Sis had another surprise for me when she got home. “Don't you just love it.” Sis said. It, being a long blond wig, not just any blond wig, but a pure white hair wig, it would be down to a ladies bum, but on me it went even farther. And yes she put it on me. “This is to make you look more like a real mermaid. Sandy's mom has a wig store. She donated this for the school mascot to wear. It has about ten times more hair than a normal person has, so it's really really full. Plus Sandy's mom made it curly and put in sea flowers all through it. You know the really really little flowers that a person can find in tide pools along the beach. Isn't it really really cool. You'll just love it as much as the rest of the cheerleaders do!”
And everything else is finished also except for fitting your mascot costume on. Susan is bringing it over in a few minutes to fit it to you. We found that it had to be really tight so that the fishing lines doesn't pull it off of you. So we're going to wrap you with sheep skin, then plastic, then we've got some spray stuff that we will spray in the costume with you in it. It will fill out all of the places so that it will fit just perfect. Oh, it's going to be so neat!” Sis gushed out with bubbles like no one else can.
Just then the doorbell rang. It was Sandy and Susan. “Julian, we have to get this to fit you just right. So upstairs and get into your underwear. Briefs, not boxers and they need to be tight ones. Mary-Ann, better yet, why don't we get her some panties so that it will not have seams.” Stacy said.
Mom interrupted “Julie only has panties, it seems that all of Julian’s clothes are packed away for now. So why don't all you girls just go on up to Julie Ann's room and do it there. After all Julie Ann's room is long over due for some major cleaning and remodeling.”
Okay, Julian, upstairs and get some panties on.” Susan said as she started to drag me up stairs.
I didn't get a chance to say anything as I was forced upstairs with a girl on each arm. I was still in those stupid shoes and had to pay attention to not falling flat on my face, or worse down the stairs.
Nice shoes Julie-Ann” Susan said as she noticed that I had my eye's glued to the floor where I was stepping. “Did you just get them today?”
Mother bought me lots of new clothes for this practical joke that you girls are pulling on me” I said.
Oh then your going to have to model them all for us Julie-Ann” Stacy gushed.
I'm not going to be a model!” I stammered back at her.
It's a law or something that all new clothes have to be modeled to your girlfriends.” Susan said, “And since your a cheerleader, that makes you by default a girlfriend to all of the other cheerleaders. So that means that after we try out the fishtail on you, you're going to have to show us all of them.”
So it ended up with me, Sis, Susan and Stacy in my bedroom. They wrapped the sheep skin around me with the fleece next to me, outside of that they wrapped it all tightly in plastic. Then they put the mermaid tail on. Then they used some-kind of stuff that expanded after they sprayed it between the tail and the plastic. The end results was that the mermaid looked like she had big hips because the waist already hugged my waist. It was so tight that I had to really suck in my belly to even get it on.
Later that night after having to show and try on everything for the girls I finally got to bed. No sooner than I got to sleep then Sis was shaking me to get up for school.

Chapter 06

Come on sleepy head, it's time to get up and get ready for your first day at high school” Sis said.
I don't want to go to school. I want my old cloths back, and I don’t want to be a girl.” I mumbled into my pillow.
Sorry Julian, you have to follow through with this now. There is no escape now.” Sis replied.
The sun is not even shinning yet. Let me at least sleep in on my last day of life before the guys kill me at school?” I said.
Sorry Julian, but the girls are going to be here real soon to help with you're makeup.” Sis said.
But I read the rules and makeup is not allowed in school” I said, after all I read the rules.
Well, no one cares about those rules, they are for the normal kids, but cheerleaders are a special case, and are allowed to wear the make up because it's part of the costume, so no more excuses Julian, get out of bed and get a shower now. I've still got to get ready too.” Sis said.
It was only then that I looked at Mary-Ann and saw that she was still in her night clothes.
You are going to take longer to get ready this week because of it being spirit week. After this week, when you know how to do it yourself, you can sleep in longer. So get up and get at it, so that we have time to finish what has to be done.” Sis said.
It was never any good to argue with Sis, she always won, right or wrong, she won, so I got up.
Twenty minutes later the door bell starting ringing, after another twenty minutes all of the Cheerleaders were in my bedroom. Most of them were harassing me, but some of them were teasing each other too.
The first ones here were Stacy and Susan together. “We have your cheerleaders costume Julie-Ann.” Susan announced.
Why do I have to wear a cheerleaders dress? That was never part of what I was suppose to do! I was just going to have to dress in that mermaid costume.” I announced.
It's just until we can get you to school and into the mermaids costume.” Sis said. “They wouldn't let us do what we wanted to, and put you in before first period. They complained that it would distract from other students learning, having a half naked girl in classes, so they said that the mermaid would have to just wear their cheerleaders outfit till 15 minutes before noon, and then they would be let out early and could change.” Sis said.
Okay girls lets go now” Nancy announced.
We all walked together to school. I guess that it looked like all girls walking together. I was instructed the entire time on how to sway my hips, and walk with smaller steps, and to hold my book in front of my chest. We all walked to the front office. There the other girls just went on, but Nancy and Sis, lead me into the office. “Hello Mrs. Steller, we need to get a new listing for Julie-Ann, She was added to the Cheer-squad after last year, and so Mrs. Walker had to make some changes to her schedule so that she would have right classes.” Nancy told the secretary.
Okay, just a moment Nancy, what's her name and ID number” Mrs. Steller asked.
Here it is” Sis said, giving a piece of paper to her.
Mrs. Steller punched up the information and said. “This say's Julian, and is male. But who ever heard of a male taking Home Economics?”
Does my sister look like a male Mrs. Steller? Just because she has always refused to wear dresses before and play with the boys, some of her teachers had always had it out for her.” Sis said. “Could we finally correct it and make it right Please, Mrs. Steller?”
Well I'm not suppose to do this, but since I know you Mary-Ann, I'll fix it, now is everything else right about Julian, except her being a female, and not a male?” Mrs. Steller asked.
Well no, she spells her name J-u-l-i-e dash A-n-n” Sis said.
Well if that's all it will be no trouble. Here is your class schedule Julie-Ann and good luck in high school.” Mrs. Steller said.
With that I they rushed me outside. Susan waited for us. “Did it go okay? Is she set now.”
Went just like we planned Susan, nothing left but getting her through her first week of school with out anybody finding out. She's mostly your for the rest of the day. See you just before lunch to get her ready.” Nancy said.
Come one Julie-Ann it's time for homeroom.” Susan said, put her arm through mine and pulled me toward homeroom.
Next I found myself sitting next to Susan in the front row. Susan leaned over toward me and said. “You going to have to sit with your legs crossed or Mr. Jankins will have a free show this morning.”
I was able to cross my legs, just like Susan. It' kind of squeezed my balls together, but there was no helping it. It was just lucking that I was limber enough to do it. After roll call and a number of announcements including noon pep rally we went to our first class. It was Home Economics.
Okay class, settle down, this semester we are going to learn how to sew, each of you will be required to sew your own gown for the Christmas party. Which of course means that your going to have to find and convince someone to take you. I am passing out the requirements for your dress. It can be anything, but it must meet the requirements on this list. You might have to sew it on the inside to hide it, but you still must learn to sew each of the different types of materials, and each of the different types of stitching. Any questions?”
I looked at Susan. She returned my look. “Don't worry, you'll look gorgeous when I take you Julie-Ann” she said and smiled at me.
I feared that my days as a male ending forever was just confirmed. Susan was not the one to talk about it either. She was messed up enough to not want to talk about it. I guess that it was okay, being a girlfriend of Susan. I also just realized that Susan must be a lesbian. She had to be after the problems in her life. If we ever necked and she put her hand up my dress and found what was really there would she, like go crazy? I also just realized that she didn't shutter or slink off to another part of the hall while we were walking to class. I wonder if she felt safe with me after all?
The class was interesting, well interesting in that I didn't know that girls did so much in a class like this. I always thought that is was just baking, and eating the results, (now that is something that I wouldn't have minded). But this must just be a sewing class.
You are also required to sew some baby clothes. These will be giver to a local home for girls who have had a child, kicked out of the house, and has nowhere else to go. Now to make it even, if your last name has an even number of letters, you can make a girl baby clothes, if you have an odd number of letters, then you have to make boys clothes. If you want extra credit then after you make what is assigned, you can make the other one. I usually find that those who have to make boys clothes, always end up making a frilly dress for a girl. But remember in real life, you will not get to select the sex that your child will be, so if you get to make a girls baby dress first, leave enough time to make a boys outfit also. Consider it that you will have twins.” The teacher said.
This was going to be one weird class. As a boy dressed as a girl taking a girls class still does not change me from being and thinking what a boy thinks. But oh well, at least the scenery is nice.
Fifteen minutes before algebra II was finished the teacher said, Okay cheerleaders you can leave. Susan and Stacy got up, and motioned for me to get up and come also.
After we got outside, I asked “Where are we going?”
It's time to get you ready to be a magical mermaid Julie-Ann” Susan said.
We went toward the dressing rooms and I started to turn toward the one marked MEN. “Just where do you think you are going young lady?” Stacy said.
I have to go to the little boys room to do some personal business.” I said.
You are not allowed in the boys room girl.” Susan said while Stacy at the same time said. “You can not be meeting your boyfriends in there, you'll just have to find another place.”
Julie-Ann is a lesbian” Susan then said to Stacy.
Oh, and how would you know that Susan?” Stacy asked.
I have seen the way that she looks at other girls Stacy. It's obvious that she just looking for who she is going to seduce next.” Susan said.
Are you going to let her seduce you Susan?” Stacy asked.
I'm thinking about it, I was even thinking about seducing her, time will tell” Susan said while eying me.
I was flabbergasted with the conversation. They were talking in front of me like I wasn't even there. “Don't I get a say in what I do or don't do?”
Only if your good.” Susan said. “Then I might let you decide.”
Thanks” I responded. “But right now, don't you think that we might want to get to class. Hello Nancy, where am I suppose to go, I seem to be a little confused here. Where is the costume that I'm to wear?”
Mrs. Walker has the costume in her office. Joan and I will get the tank and bring it around, Susan and Stacy can help you change. Hurry up, you only have 12 minutes left, and remember that you have to be wheeled over to the gym and hidden before anyone gets out of class.”
Susan and Stacy both grabbed me under the arm and started me toward the girls dressing room. I didn't resist. After all who would ever believe that I was a boy with size C tits and inch long pink nails, wearing a cheering skirt in the middle of school. I was a confused and hopeless case, that was for sure.
We went into the dressing room. I got a glance of the girls just coming in from P.E. And getting undressed for the showers. I wish that I could have lingered, but my two guards wouldn't even let me think about that. Mrs. Walkers office was on the side about half way though the changing room. They rushed me in. and closed the door and lowered the blinds.
Okay, you peeping tom, strip, it's our time to see you buff naked. Well, hurry up, we don’t have all day.” Susan said with a bit of authority in her voice.
I Started to take everything off. I must not have have been doing it fast enough because first Stacy, and then Susan started helping. In no time I was down to my underwear. The glued on breasts were heavy again.
Okay Julie, now put on this bikini top.” Susan said.
What top, there's nothing there but two little, and I mean little triangles that kind of looked like shells, with invisible strings attached. I don't know of any girl alive that would wear something so reveling!” I said.
Stacy whispered “But you’re not a girl and guys reveal their chest all of the time, so just act like a guy right now and don't think about your chest. Of course all of the guys will be think about them, and be watching them, and hoping that they will fall out.”
Wont the teachers do anything because of indecent exposure?” I said, hoping to get out of this.
If the teachers try, just think of all of the guys coming to your rescue!” Stacy said.
Don't worry Julie-Ann dear, we have blankets to cover the tank with, All you have to do is act like a captured mermaid when we take them off. It will be great!” Susan added.
I put on the top, it didn't cover much of Stacy's moms breast forms for sure. Then laid down and waggled into the tail as they put it on. I couldn't move my legs except together. I also had to be careful to not get tangled up in all of the fishing line that was attached to it. Stacy put the wig on me as a last touch. After another fifteen minutes of putting on makeup, combing the hair and other beauty aids they seem to be finished.
I knew that this was destine for failure.
I was facing the wrong way when I heard the door open and what must be the wagon being pulled in.
Is she ready” Nancy asked.
Yes, but it's going to take at least six of us to hold her up while we attach the fishing lines to the pulleys at the top of the tank lid.” Stacy said.
Next thing I knew there were at least eight girls around me lifting me toward the 'tank'. They held me while another couple started attaching the fishing lines around pulleys on top.
Nancy explained. “Julie-Ann, your bum is always held in place, but your fin lines are connected to these three upper body wires, so you can sit up if you hold onto this strap. You can also turn around because   the lines go all of the way around you both ways. You can almost fit laying down. We want you to lay down facing this way when we unwrap you. Then after a speech you should sit up facing away from the students. You might want to glance over your shoulder once in awhile. Then as the football team comes out we want you to turn around and drop the blanket covering your top. That should bring the house down. Then we are going to do all of our cheers around your tank. Okay, any problems?”
Nope, I understand” I said as I laid down.
Perfect. O.K. Girls lets get the cover on the tank and start pulling it to the gym.” Nancy said.
I was in darkness as the 'tank' started to move. It was scary. Most of the girls were giggling and whispering so low that I couldn't hear. There was an occasional bump and shutter that I could feel as we went over uneven flooring. I could tell when we got to the gym because of all of the noise.
Now I waited, it what seemed like forever. It's hard waiting in a covered cage. Now I know what they mean by a girl in a gilded cage. It might have been large enough, but I was still tied up and inside where I couldn't get out on my own. It was a very strange feeling being at the mercy of others. The school principal started in on his speech. They must have forgotten to unwrap me first. I laid still waiting for them to start.
Welcome. Welcome back to those who are returning, and a special welcome to those who are new. You will find that you only get out of school what you put into it. So …..” I tuned out. “And the cheerleaders have said they have caught something that they want as the school mascot for the mariners. They tell me it is a fish like no other, and now without further ado lets hear it for the football team.”
Just then the covering to the tank was taken off. The sound in the gym burst out with laughter. I wiggled my bum and flipped my tail, and the laughter increased.
Sis said. “Okay now pretend that you have just woken up, and wiggle some other parts of your body, good. Now stretch your arms up. That’s right. Now sit up facing me. Slowly. Now turn around.”
As I turned around and dropped the blanket that covered my top, I could see that everyone was looking at me and not the football team that was facing toward them. But then one of the players turned around and looked at me, and he nudged those around him and whispering to them. Then he let out the loudest wolf whistle I have ever heard. Soon that was all that I could hear was whistles from everywhere. I thought I even saw some girls whistling.
I looked at the principal and he didn't look to happy. Pretty soon a couple of teachers were coming toward the 'tank' and covered me up again. I didn't listen to much else after that. I wondered how long I was going to be in prison for this. 'Mermaid' started to be chanted all over the place. There was a lot of noise outside my 'tank' and I didn't know where it was coming from or what was going on. I felt my 'tank' being pulled around, by what seemed like the football team members Some of them were peeking under the cover once in a while for a look. I decided that I was grateful for having that blanket covering my 'tank' because I am sure that if it was not there, I would have a couple dozen football players inside in an instant groping me. They stopped, I guess just outside the gym.
Okay, all of you back to the gym. NOW!, everyone.” It must have been a teacher, because I only knew the principals voice, and it was not his. Soon it seemed that we were alone.
Okay young lady, come out of there this instant.” she said.
I can't get out myself.” I said.
And just how did you get in there then?”
The cheer-squad help put me in here.” I said.
Are you part of the cheer-squad?”
Yes ma'm” I replied.
Do you have some decent clothes to wear, and where are they?”
They are in Mrs. Walkers room” I said.
Okay, I'm going to cover you and wheel you back inside to a corner out of the way. Your to stay there until I say so, and be quiet, understand me!” She sounded like I have just murdered a dozen teachers.
So saying she wheeled me back in by herself. The moment I was inside the door, the whistles started again. The whistles never completely died down through out the rest of the assembly, even after being told to stop it by the principal and a few detentions being given out.

Chapter 07

I was finally wheeled back to the girls gym and let out of the cage. There was three women teachers there to help me. They took longer to get me out than the cheerleaders took to get me in. They did not look happy and they didn't say anything except to each other on how to unlatch, unhook, or otherwise how to get me out.

After I was out I was sure that they would discover that I was a boy dressed up as a girl. I was finally laying on the floor, having just been dumped out of the fish tail.

“Get presentable, dressed and then join the other cheerleaders in the principals office.” One of them said.

When I was opening the school office door I realized that I still had the wig on. There was nothing I could do now. So I just joined the other cheerleaders sitting along one side of the wall. The secretary said, “Sit with the other girls and no talking.”

This didn't look good. Mrs. Walker walked out and said. “Julie-Ann, would you please come in here for a minute.”

I of course got up and walked into the principals office.

Mrs. Walker said. “It has come to the attention of the principal that there is a problem. There is a very strict dress code for indecent exposure for a girl to display as much breast as you have. However when I explained that there was no problems, as you are a boy in a costume, he failed to believe me. It seems that someone has already changed your records and it states that you are a female named Julie-Ann. To prove that you are a boy, could I get you to drop your skirt for the principal while I turn my back. This should then prove to the principal that you can not be charged with indecent exposure since males can only be charged if they expose what's between their legs.”

I started to undo my dress at the side as Mrs. Walker said to do.

“I can't have girls undressing in my office like this Mrs. Walker.” Principal said.

“Well It's the only way that Julie-Ann can prove that she didn't, isn't and wont be disobeying the decency in the law or the dress code being the school mascot.”

“And how do you explain that he is in all of these classes that are for girls Mrs. Walker?”

“don’t tell me that you are a sexiest sir, I thought that it was the policy of this school district that all children were to have equal opportunity?”

I had just dropped the skirt and had my hands on my panties pulling them down. Nether one was paying attention to me. I pulled them all of the way down and was pulling off the tape that Sis had used to tape me up with when they both heard the sound and look at me as the parts that define a boy from a girl dropped down.

“Well OK, so that is a boy, but where did he get those breast Mrs. Walker.”

“There are a lot of medical problems that I know of where boys develop breast. I don't know all of the details, but I do know that his breast come from medical sources. I am not a doctor, and I don't think that you should be either. As far as I am concerned Julian can pass as a boy or a girl. There is no place anywhere for a child that is both or neither, so until that happens I see no reason why this child should have to go through this again.”
“You can and should run this school, but this is a problem that is out side the jurisdiction of a school principal I think. So Lets both just let this slide until a real problem occurs. Now as for P.E. I can not imagine you allowing this child into the boys changing room with those breast, there will be nothing but problems. I would guess that he would be raped withing the first week.”
“So that means, so that he will have no problems, Julie-Ann will have to pose as a girl until the doctor takes his breast off, if that is what the doctor is going to do.”
“I am sorry that my girls used poor judgment in making his such a sexy school mascot, but technically there is nothing wrong with what they did. They are suppose to raise moral of the school, and they did that and then some.”

“OK, we'll not do anything about Julian or Julie-Ann for now. Now what about that costume? We have got to do something about that. I can't let a girl run around half naked like that.”

“Your right, I think that we need to get a bigger shells for her to wear, but that's all.” Mrs. Walker proclaimed.

“How about if I get all of the girls involved to be told what is decent and what shows to much. I think that the cheerleaders wanted to raise a little hell, and they did that, now lets just reel them in a little bit, and at the same time get some spirit from others.”

“Julie-Ann get dressed and come outside.” Mrs. Walker said as she walked out the door. The principal turned his back, and I proceeded to get dressed again. And then followed Mrs. Walker out.

“I am not happy with you girls in the least, you used poor judgment in making Julie-Ann wear something so revealing. So from now on, anything that she wears as the mascot will have to have my approval. And I want it displayed, and voted on by the girls in all gym classes. No one is to tell anything about this to anyone understand?” Mrs. Walker said before she said shoo to everyone to go to class.

A few of the girls walked with me back to class. They were not remorse in the least, but excited about what they had done. “Okay what was next one the list to do?” Susan asked.

Joan said. “Next is getting her a date with John Rumings.”

“I'm not going on a date with a guy, you can forget that right now!” I fumed back at them.

“Julie-Ann, we think that John is a mommy's boy.” Stacy said.

“So then one of you guys go on a date with him.” I said.

“No you don't understand Julie-Ann, you're not going on a date-date with him, just like an activity with him and others. You can talk boy stuff with him so that he's not all turned off by having to talk to girls who have cooties and stuff. He really needs some help Julie-Ann to come out of his shell.” Joan said.

“So why do I have to do this, and not one of you real girls.” I said.

“Because we have tried and failed Julie-Ann, now we want to see if it's really girl cooties or if he's gay” Joan said.

“Well I'm not gay, so forget it.” I said.

Susan slide up against me and said. “Everyone knows that you are a lesbian Julie-Ann, and that your my lesbian, but you need to help us get John to come out and play. We know that you will not seduce him because you are not gay. So that makes you the only safe one to do this for us.”

Never argue when there is more than one female arguing against you, you will never win.

“What do I have to do then?” I asked.

“I'll set it all up for tonight, you, Mary-Ann and I will meet John and a couple his friends when they meet at the library. Then we will find each other and study close by. He will need your help with math, because you are higher than him, even tho he is a sophomore and you are a freshmen, and he can help you with history because he is really good at that and you need help. You simply sit with him and draw him out of his shell. Easiest thing in the world to do.” Joan said with a big smile on her face.

The rest of my first day not uneventful. A lot of guys tried to hit on me, thinking I was a slut because of what I wore. How it got out that it was me, I guess it was because we forgot to take off the wig.

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

After we got home, Sis said. “Hurry up and change into one of the dresses you have so we can get to the library.”

“Do I have to actually date this idiot? And why do I have to wear a dress? I hate this.” I said.

“No, you don't, Joan loves this guy, but she has not been able to turn his head toward her for two years of trying. Everyone keeps telling her to forget him, there are plenty of fish in the sea, but she just wont give up on him.” Sis Said.

“So what I'm suppose to do, is get him to notice her, by being friendly to him? I'll never understand women logic.” I said.

“Right, just get him talking to you, see what he thinks of Joan, or even girls, Joan thinks now that he must be gay, because she has almost thrown herself at him, but he wont even ask her out for a date. The guy must be touched in the head, brain dead or gay. It's your job to find out which one for us.” Sis said.

“Maybe he likes someone else that's far away or something?” I suggested.

I went to my room and started to change. I wore my blue blouse with the matching skirt. It had a wide belt that I cinched tight. It made my waist look smaller than it was. I then got open toed sandals and knee high socks. I was not the height of fashion, and most likely made a number of women turn over in their grave from the lack of matching ensemble. I knew that I would have to wear that cheer-leaders uniform most of the week so I threw it in the washer along with Sis's uniform. Sis and I left with our book bags for the library. Pink book bag.

At the library was Joan, Stacy, Susan waiting for us out front. “John is sitting with his two friends like he always does in the back corner.” Joan said.

We went into the building to the back corner. We all sat at a table next to them, but facing them. Then everyone pulled out books to pretend to work on. I don’t think any of the girls was really working, they were more interested in passing notes back and forth. One note came to me.

Go Talk to him for crying out loud.

I wasn't sure who wrote the note, but I was sure that I wasn't going to just go up and talk to him. That didn't work before, so I shook my head and wrote back.

Wait, what is it that they are doing? It looks like D&D?

The note passed back up the table with everyone reading it and writing on it. After it passed to Joan who also wrote on it the note came back.

What's D&D? How can they play in the Library?

Girls! Leave it to them to never have heard of the game. They play make-believe all of the time. They should be naturals at it. So I wrote back.

Joan, do you want to play D&D with John with me?

Julie How do you play?

Joan, it is a pretend game where you think you are a knight, or magician, or maybe a paladin and fight and find gold and solve puzzles.

Julie, OK, but I don’t know how good I'll be.

I left my books on the table and whispered to Sis “Watch my books for me please” I walked over to the table where John and his friends were working. I could see that they were in the process of making a game. Usually only the Dungeon Master made the game and then a couple of players played it.

“Are you making a Dungeon and Dragon game?” I asked shyly.

“Yea, and your bothering us, so go away.” Johns friend said.

“Can I help, I have played but I always wondered how Dungeon Masters made their games in the first place.” I said, knowing that they didn't know that I had made a couple with my friends before.

“This is a tournament game, you can't help.” John said.

“Where does the tournament play at?” I asked.

“We play at the high school on Saturday nights but you have to be a part of a team.” John said.

“Doesn't a team get extra points if they have a newbies play.” I asked. Not everyone does but it was a shot.

“Yes,” John's other friend said, “But they lose more points that it's worth.”

“What about two newbies, wouldn't that give you a really big handicap in points?” I persisted.

“You and who else” John asked?

“I was thinking of one of my friend. They would love to learn all about how to use magic spells against ogres and trolls.” I hoped that Joan did. “What are your characters?”

“It's an all female group that is trying to capture an evil magi that is capturing princess for his own evil purpose.” John said, while looking me right in the eyes.

“Oh, we would love to play that.” I said.

“No, you don’t understand, in this tournament, you have to play the opposite sex. So girls have to be men and men have to be women.” John said. “We can't allow that to get out to others in school. We'd be creamed for sure.”

A month ago that would have sounded like fun to play. “Well can we play, as beginners I am sure that we'll make some mistakes, but as girls, I am sure that we can give you some pointers in playing girls as well. And if it got out then it would mean that we'd be creamed as well wouldn't it? And wouldn't it be better to have a fighter with lots of hit points, because girls are so weak and sweet and never brawl. See we could help you play your characters better.”

Johns friend leaned over and whispered to John, who then leaned over and whispered to his other friend, they seemed to be in agreement. “How about you come over later and we'll see if you can join. We'll play a short part of a game to see how you do, then we'll decide?”

“That sounds like fun, I'll be there.” I said. I bet that Joan already knew where he lived so that was an easy setup.

I wrote on one of the three notes they passed to me. 'John and friends are D&D freaks, they want to play a game with me and Joan today at his house in a couple of hours. I can show you how at home for a while, and then you can play at his house in a couple of hours. That is why he doesn't talk to anyone, is because he likes to play that stupid game of imagination more than talk to real people. So if you want to get to know him, you will just have to learn to love to play his game.'

I then started in on my home work for today. But I soon got a message back. 'OK, lets go to your house and if you show us how to play, then we will leave you alone to do your home work.'

We were soon at my house, where I had to have my sister drag out my stuff from where ever mom had hidden it. She made the girls stay with me in the garage while she got it.

After I showed them the books, and a simple grasp of the game, I got to do my home work. Three of the cheerleaders left to go and play, and I stayed home. I didn't want to go, for obvious reasons.
