45th Annual Gala of Tiresias: 3

Skyler has to make some decisions - should he resist his transformation or should he go all
in to try to win The Gala? Thank you for all the reviews and comments. I did understand that using
a real life political issue would not agree with everyone. I'm sorry if my point of view veers from
yours, but that is the nature of political discussion. At times, we must just agree to disagree.

The slope becomes more slippery as Skyler slides inextricably towards femininity.
Thank you so much for all the reviews and the 'welcome back' messages.
It's nice to have completed a story after six months of writing and rewriting.

Skyler finds himself in an awkward situation and, because the situation could lead
to a huge scholarship, all the women in his life seem to want to keep him in that situation.
As I have done in a previous story, there are links posted at the end of each chapter that
will bring you to a YouTube version of the music mentioned. There's only one link for this
chapter, but there will be more as the story progresses. Please feel free to leave comments!
A QUICK NOTE: This was a long and somewhat challenging story for me, AND it
was written during the most busy, exhausting and frustrating six months of my life. I hope
it appeals to you. If it doesn't, that's cool, too, but regardless,
it was my link to sanity during a tough time.

The first three knew better than to play for money when Zora had a cue stick in her hand, and they’d been kind enough to warn Biggo off before he learned the hard way. Which is to say, the expensive way.

“Tammy, I love what that magical wreath did to me.” Sara loved her new elven body as she looked at her reflection in the full-length mirror.
“I’m glad you like your new body because I hate what it did to me.” Tammy walks up and stands next to Sara.
The magic from the ancient Christmas wreath they found had changed both. Where Sara was turned into a five-foot-six-inch busty, curvy female elf, she was turned into a female elf who resembled Judy from the Tim Allen Santa Claus movies.

How will they all handle the pressure? Are they looking for someone like John or someone like Bebe?
