Masks XX: The Mystery of the Mechanical Master

Part One

The video conference call was unusual in more aspects than the fact that all three participants were wearing costumes with masks. The members of Tricorne were planning yet another Spring Break together. However, this time the youngest member was proposing something different from previous teamups.

That darn hospital forced me to stay there for nearly three more days, even though I was obviously in completely perfect health!

Ahhh, well, I had a bed to sleep on, food to eat, a TV with silly shows on it to watch all day. Oh, and visits from Commander Ares. It seems he really wants me to go to this Compound on the edge of the city to find out just what I can do beyond leaving scorch marks on walls.

Immediately after I came home from school on Monday afternoon I changed into my girl clothes, to connect with my experiences. That had been Becky’s suggestion. I then re-read my journal and started on the essay. I noted the stereotypes which were relevant to my experience, and decided to limit my essay to just those points. According to the instructions, Mrs. Benson wanted the essay to be at least one thousand words. My first draft was twice that. I set it aside to polish it over the next few days. I changed out of my girl clothes for supper, to avoid any snide comments from my sister although something in me was saddened when I did.

At that point I realized that having let my feminine side out, she wasn’t going to go away without a struggle. I decided to keep the name Renee for my feminine side.

“You might as well give it up Casey. No one is going to hire you for an acting job, especially a male role. You look like you could be my little sister or in a kiddy show.”

Casey had barely made it back in time for his shift at Pete’s Steak House. He looks at Harry as he slips his apron on over his black t-shirt. He was lucky that he remembered to keep a change of clothes for work in his 1998 Mustang. The body needed some work and it had an oil leak, but it got him where he needed to go. He could fix it, thanks to his uncle showing him how to work on cars at his garage.

Chapter Four – A Night at the Flicks

Our four transvestite Wrens are beginning to enjoy their forced feminisation while Michele and Spike begin a platonic relationship which Spike is obviously keen to progress. The Sailors and Wrens open up the base cinema for a night at the 'flickers'...who knows what will happen with the four attractive Wrens and four handsome Sailors sitting close together in the dark theater.

Chapter Two – Wren Division Ho!

Michele's crew of recruit 'Wrens' are not considered up to standard when they are inspected by the Leading Recruits. Michele is ordered to properly feminise her charges, which she does, displaying her ingenuity. The 'Wrens' are starting to enjoy being feminised just a little and the Leading Recruits are finding them just a little attractive, especially being alone with them in the deserted cold barracks. Michele incurs the wrath of Spike and is publicly spanked. Is this the turning point, have they gone too far?.

I let out a happy sigh as I wake up in my warm, cozy bed to discover that during the night, Kayla’s arms have wrapped themselves around my body- and mine have wrapped themselves around hers.
