The TESTBY Ericbased on the concept "You Write The Story", found on fictionmania.comGeorgeI am George Guile (G.G. to my friends) and I am 19 and dead broke so I was glad when . my younger sister Alice met me  and said I can make some easy money - not involving work. Well that was right up my alley!  Said she would met me in my place after school. 'Works OK but its a hell of a way to make a living' that's what my Dad told me just before he shipped out for points unknown. Dad was the most charming man you'd ever want to me - friendly smile always a fund of jokes - especially dirty ones. Mom - well she drove the poor guy away with her nagging him to find steady work. Dad always had these great ideas for a making a large fortune, but somehow they never worked out. He had a small trust fund and he worked occasionally - when ever he needed a few bucks and mom wouldn't give it to him, or he found a job he liked and where thought he could find a way to make a killing. He was a terrific car and real estate salesman! But as I said Mom drove him away. Mom has a damn good job as a lawyer and is a partner in the firm of  Jones, McBride, Waxenberg, and Reynolds. Mom's Reynolds. She always used her maiden name because of Dad's creative activities. Alice uses it too, NOT ME -  I imagine if Guile was good enough for dad it was good enough for me.  Sis is usually on time - just like mom and like mom is a real over achiever. I get up and amble to my frig. Shit! Only one more beer. I have to get my hands on some quick cash! Rent on my flea bag apartment is also two months over due - and if the landlord throws me out - I will have to endure a fate worse than death - living at home where mom can nag me into an early grave. The lights go out. Damn - that's right the electric bill - I haven't paid one in months. The refrigerator gasps to a halt with shudders. Lucky there no food in it or it would spoil. I light candles borrowed from Mom's basement.There a decisive knock on the door. Sis comes in and looks at the candle lit room."I thought it would be nice to conserve electricity and save the environment."She doesn't miss a beat." Didn't pay your electric bill, huh!. You really need to move back home where mom and I can look after you. Why are you shuddering? It would be good for you."I look hurt. " What's your proposition, Alice?" I study her - she looks great in candle light - in fact she looks beautiful almost any time. Long beautiful long blond hair, cute face and image - kinda looks like that movie star - Alicia - something or other. I've made a few bucks over the years with guys asking me to introduce them to my sister. The electric kicks back on. I guess it was just a warning. "I hate to admit it, but I need your help - I'll even help you clean your place up - this is a real mess! ""Get to the point - what do you want me to do  and what's in it for me?"She took a deep breath. " I am doing real well at school - I love geology! Top grades here, I hope to talk mom into letting me be a geologist instead of a lawyer. But none of that will matter because I am going to fail history - Mr. Kreuger, the sexist jerk, gave me a F on my term paper, my thesis was proving that all the problems in the world today are caused by men.  I need to get at least a B+ on the history final tomorrow or  I wont graduate from high school. It would just kill mom! History was your best subject at school. I know mom and I could never image how you aced every test - you never studied.""Some things just come naturally." They didn't know but I loved history and studied like crazy, I just pretended not to. What they didn't know wouldn't hurt me!"Like beer drinking and lazing around."I grinned and despite herself she had to grin back. "Do you want me to tutor you or something?" I said dubiously.She didn't meet my eyes. "Not exactly - its too late for that. I want you to take the test for me. ""Come again?""I want you to switch bodies with me and take the test. I would die rather than hurt mom. She has worked so hard for us over the years.""Good plan, Alice!  Great idea!- only one problem - its impossible."The words came out in a rush." NO, I heard about this gypsy lady at a local carnival that has a magic spell that would let us swap bodies." She looked at my body  shuddered and made a face." I guess I can endure it for mom's sake.""Thanks a lot! " I laughed. "I wouldn't be happy to be a girl, wear those stupid clothes, have to paint my face and spend hours on my hair  not even counting the tits and ass aspect."She glared at me, no doubt considering my comments crude, but she wanted something so she bit back the automatic retort. "Look - if you do it - I will pay you $ 1,000!""Two thousand!""What! That's highway robbery! 1100."We settled on 1500 - not that I would ever see it - its was just impossible - any fool knew that!  "I also want $ 50 just for trying.""What!""My time is valuable.""To whom?""We wont go into to that!"" Twenty!""OK." We shock hands on it I put the twenty in my pocket. As soon as she leaves I can buy more beer! "I'm surprise you would trust me with your bod, Sis - I might steal from you or something."She patted me on my shoulder affectionately. " I know you well, brother - you may think nobody knows, but mom and I do - how you help out at children's hospital every weekend, play with the sick kids - take them on outings.""Don't tell anybody, it would ruin my reputation!""Your problem is that you're trying to be like dad - don't. Just be yourself. ""You're trying to be like mom!" I reply hotly.She flushes" If I do at least she someone worthy imitation! I will go and get the spell. You look over this list - its my schedule. You know most of the kids and teachers - somehow you managed - god only knows how to graduate with honors last year. Be sure and  watch out for that bitch Nancy Richards! She do anything to stab me in the back just because she thinks I tried to steal her boyfriend.""Did you?"She got red into the face and didn't answer.Alice The carnival was kind of scary somehow. I wish I would have asked George along. Though he can be a jerk he does love me and he is a big guy and I would feel safer with him at my side, but I know him too well! He'd make some crack about magic to the gypsy lady and we'd end up as toads or something. I am not looking forward to trusting my beautiful body to him - he'll probably make me look ghastly and really uncoordinated.Well this isn't getting the spell. I better find her before the carnival leaves town.I look for the gypsy then there comes a pinch on my bottom. I whirl to slap the jerk, but he catches my hand."Hey, beautiful girl, how about a kiss?""Beat it and let me go before I have you arrested!""No cops goin' to touch me I am the Mayor' kid brother. How about that kiss?"I think fast." How about buying me some cotton candy?""You got it sweet cheeks!" The  ass hole pats my but and goes over buys some. I smile sweetly, take it and  rub  it in his face and eyes and take off running. "Why you little bitch!"I look back - he is chasing me looking like the wild man from Borneo with the cotton candy decorating his ugly face. I see a very burly country looking kind of guy. I head towards him the jerk follows me and full speed. At the last minute I serve aside and the jerk can't stop or change direction and goes plowing into country. "Oifff!" they both echo. The burly country guy looks down and the frightened jerk." Friend - you run into me, don't say your sorry, and get cotton candy in my beard. I don't take kindly to rude behavior. In fact I do not tolerate it."Smack a large ham like hand smashes into an ugly face and the jerk is down for the count.I discreetly leave the scene giggling. There's the gypsy stand I had heard about. I cough as I enter, the tent is full of foul smelling incense and cigar smoke that burns my eyes. The cigar smoke comes from a old gypsy woman with dirt on her face wearing a faded red dress and a tattered shawl."What can I do for such a pretty lady. I can already tell you have no man trouble - except for a lazy brother." Her voice is even worse than Fran Drischer on the Nanny."How do you know that?" I gasp."Madam Olga she knows all, pretty lady - called Alice - except how to quit smoking. For many hundreds of years Madam Olga has tried to quit without success. But enough of my problems. What you want is clouded in mystery - but it has to do with school - a lazy brother and your mother who you worship."I gasp some more. She is really cool! So I poor out my tale of woe and finish with  " And so do you have a spell to switch bodies between two people?"She nods her dirty dark hair with complacent satisfaction. "I do indeed. Between brother and sister it is easy. I have spell - do you also need return spell?""YES!"She cackles." No need to get upset., beautiful young lady. Many people - men and woman - not  happy - wish to try another life - another body only wish one way spells"I look at this ugly old gypsy "  do you ever think of using your spell yourself, Madam Olga?""Never! Where could I find a body as beautiful as the one I have?""I see what you mean" I answer tactfully. She must really need glasses bad!"How much for both spells?""Ah, how much - for such a pretty young lady as you - - I usually charge a thousand dollars a spell - but you are so young and pretty - a thousand for both!"" A thousand dollars!" I screech"Did I say a thousand dollars - I meant to say five hundred. Yes five hundred - firm price."" I can't afford that.""Mustn't lie to Madam Olga - you have two thousand dollars and 16 cents in your checking  account."" Its still only worth 200" I say firmly."You want Madam Olga to not have even a crust of bread to eat tonight? Well I see you want to do it for your mother. Am I not a mother , too? Let us say 400."We settle on three hundred dollars. "Now both must recite spells at same time! You must stay in body of your brother at least three days to rest soul. Souls not like jumping from body to body like fleas! No, souls get frightened. Hold on to body more next time - so return spell be more difficult."It just so happens I have three hundreds in cash with me. "If it doesn't work I want my money back!""It work, child, it work! Trust Madam Olga!"I frowned. Looking at the face - well trusting her was going to be a real leap of faith!I got on my bike and rode like the wind back to my brother's pathetic place. I grinned and  trust the papers into his surprised face."See here Mr. SO COOL! I've got the spell! Na, Na, Na, Na, Na!" I said reverting to childhood when he thought he was better than me just cause he was a boy!George looked them over. "Jesus! Where did the person learn to write - from physicians?""Never mind that - let's get to it!" I said. I grinned to see him sweat. So Mr. so Macho Cool, ws worried was he?George I reluctantly took the papers. Alice looked so damn confident! "What do you do? And do we have a change back spell?"She nodded vigorously. " You don't think I'd take a chance on being stuck in your body do you?!"I swallowed and together we started reading the spell." Tick Tock , tock tick, up down, down up, right is wrong, wrong is right, man is woman, woman is man, By the spirit of  " . . . the spell went on and on. I heard a roaring in my ears. Our voices blended together, until I could not tell who was speaking what. I had trouble getting air down my throat. A whirlpool  came when it sucked me away it was a relief.  Suddenly I felt the floor coming up to meet me. Shit, that hurt! After my head stopped trying to swim the Atlantic I tried to get up. I feel really weird. I didn't  know how else to explain it, but nothing felt right. My sense of balance, hell - my sense of everything was just WRONG. I have a very  BAD feeling about this. I feel long hair in my face. My arms are suddenly  too weak to push me up easily. I feel elastic constricting  my chest. There's a draft on my legs.My glasses fall off. I don't wear glasses! Hair flowed in a soft cloud in front of my face. I groggily stagger to my feet and with hands with LONG, SLIM FINGERS WITH RED NAILS push long blond hair out of my face. Through a glass darkly I see the fussy out lines of my  - yes my face. It is looking shocked as well. No question about it - I am my sister. I stared down at breasts. When I try and to touch them she - he slaps my hands. "Paws off buster!" boomed my old voice at me.I ignore myself - Alice is in my body. Jesus my head is swimming I didn't know who I am  any more. The world had become a blur over five feet away. Great, Just fuckin' great I think sourly. I am not only a seventeen year old female still in high school, but I had traded perfectly good 20/20 vision for these near sided eyes. I ignore Alice's jabbering at me - about how - Eureka! It worked! It worked I will graduate and mom will be so pleased and aren't you excited George?  - I finally see my glasses - her glasses - well I guess my glasses! I fumble them on using  unaccustomed muscles. Thank God! - I could see again!"This proves we have a soul - isn't it wonderful George, we have immortal souls" Alice gushed."I need a beer!" I said. I staggered on legs not really my own to the frig and grabbed a beer. I put it to my lips and drank it in one breath!"Just like a man!" Alice sneered. " We prove we have immortal souls and you need a beer!"" Not a beer" I gulp, god I have a sweetly feminine voice. " Beers!" I grab another one. I strong hand takes it away from me." Forget it, SIS! I am not having you get me all drunk as a skunk  - I - my body is not use to beer and it does not agree with me. Besides, I need to keep my weight down - and beer is very fattening. Say but it does smell good though."Before my parched gaze the son-of-a-bitch drank my beer and opened another. Talk about moral outrage!"Say, this stuff isn't bad " Alice said smacking my lips.I felt tears coming to my eyes. "HEY! That's my beer - you're guzzling " I squeaked with my sister's voice."Not at the moment - besides you're under age!"I was steaming! Shit! I couldn't even legally buy beer. What a revolting development! My stomach protested about the beer inside it.. Maybe it was just as well I hadn't drunk that second one  - that beer I had chugged down was fighting a losing war with this stomach I had inherited. I put a slim hand over my mouth."Out of the way! " I rushed for the bathroom and just made it. I heave my guts out into the toilet, I barely keep my glasses from following the beer into the bowl as they slide down my small, shapely nose. "God, I feel awful!" Tears sting my eyes."I warned you -Beer doesn't  agree with me" Alice laughed with really offensively superiority.Beer didn't agree this new body of mine? " Death where is thy sting, grave where is thy victory!" I intoned. Something I remember from some class or other. I thought it pretty cool."Oh, don't whine! Its only for three days. You can give up your disgusting habits for three days " Alice said finishing her third beer."Three days!" I squeak, my voice was so shrill it hurt my ears." You didn't say it would be three days!"Alice looked guilty - my face had a very shifty look about it I thought."Didn't I?"Alice then told me what the gypsy had said about souls and fleas. Sounded stupid to me, but now that I was living in my sisters very shapely body who was I to say anything? "It's going to cost you more money."Alice shook my head." No mention was made of duration." Alice walked over and stood next to me. I cower away - he - she - was so much larger and stronger now! A powerful hand gave me a shove and I stagger across the room almost falling. I feel weak and helpless." You big Bully!"My former face grinned at me. " What was it you use to say to me - about God defending the just and might being right?""Big Bully!" I find tears in my eyes. I hate being so small and helpless against this drunken brute. " I am going home to mother!"He thrust some papers in my hand bag." Don't forget your schedule, ALICE."I stare coldly at him lording it over me. "This isn't forever you know. Just you wait until I get my own body back, Alice Reynolds - just you wait - you big bully." I look around - "Where the fuck are the keys to my car?"Alice patted her pocket." Where they belong in MY pocket. You have to ride the bike back. Hey, I am sorry, but we can't make Mom suspicious. How would it look if you came home with George's car?""You're right!" I groan and feel my breasts thrusting against my bra and blouse. It is a eerie feeling."God! I'm so damn cute!" Alice sighed looking at me in her body."If you do say so yourself!" I answered back, strangely inwardly pleased at the thought."You take good care of my beautiful body and try to act like a lady, not some one who is in the running to someday a proud member of America's Ten most wanted."I give him the finger and he grabs it and I think he is going to twisted it off." That's exactly what I mean, George, You better act like a lady - like me or else!""Or else what?""How would you like to go through my period next week?"I gulped. "OK - OK you've made your point!" I feel myself shuddering."Wait a minute - your - my hair?""What about?" I am very conscious of its weight all of a sudden."Let me put in a pony tail so it wont fly in your face when you ride. Pay attention so you can do it yourself later."She drags me to the mirror I see a pouting looking girl and a large man doing her hair.. What a hassle! "Also, you better brush it at least one hundred strokes each night?""What if I don't?" I snap back."If you come back here Sunday night with my hair looking terrible - then I will deduct from the fifteen hundred dollars."I glare at 'him' through my glasses and Alice uses my good eyes to glare back. I think I win the glaring contest. Girls can glare better than boys. "Oh, just get out of here an keep your mouth shut!"Alice just sits there like a slug as I morosely open the door.  I look back longingly at my old place - now inhabited by kid sister in my body. If anyone has ever had a stranger day I would sure like to hear about it!Alice's bike awaits me. I hadn't ridden one sine I had been sixteen. It looked more like a torture chamber than an item of transportation. It seems to gleam in the lamp light with a sinister glow. Carefully I got on and promptly fell off. Shit! Try, try gain. The seat felt very weird against my now female crotch. At least no balls were going to be smashed. Great just great! I do pretty well on the ride home - I only fell off three times.Mom awaits me inside the door."Just were you  been, Alice!? Out and about with a big history test tomorrow! The very idea - you're becoming as irresponsible as your brother."Thanks, mom! I make myself smile Alice's ass kissing smile. "I was over at George's Mom" ( god talk about weird - to refer  to myself like this, for a moment the world swims around me, but I control myself) " He was helping me with history."Her sharp features softened." Good! How much is the worthless boy charging you?""Mom!" Hey - I am not that bad."How much?" she went on without remorse."Twenty dollars.""Got him down, huh. I bet he originally wanted fifty."The old nag knew me better than I thought. "Well go take a bath. You look like you've fallen off your bike."I smile sweetly  and rush upstairs to my - I mean Alice's room and lean thankfully against the door. First hurdle  hurdled, I think, with relief. If I can fool my own mother, I can fool anybody, I'm such a super genius! The mirror draws me like a magnet. I walk slowly towards it. There's Alice's lovely young body in the glass. I smile involuntarily. I look so damn cute! I practice Alice's little manipulative smiles. Perfect. I look around. Shit why not. I looked the door and start to take off my clothes. I feel a little guilty - she is my sister after all, but hey I am going to be living in this body for three days - I can hardly go through the whole time blindfolded! I take off the school blouse. Her well shaped,  firm young breasts peek coyly out from behind the bra. Shit! what a struggle to take it off - that damn thing must have been designed by a committee. I finally shrug it off. Wow! Guiltily I touch them, they're small - 34B the bra tells me, but they are perky and perfectly shaped. I touch them with hesitant fingers and they start getting bigger. Wow! Double wow! That feels good. I grin and the pretty girl in the mirror grins back at me. I wonder if right now Alice is jacking off? I shake my head and the lovely, long blond hair flows to and fro. Naw - not my prim little sister! I sit down on her bed and take off her shoes and socks. My feet are so tiny and the red toe nails wink slyly up at me. I hunt for the skirt's zipper. Why is it in the back again? What do clothes manufactures have against women? Again feeling guilty I slipped my panties off. Hot damn! I am cute and sexy - I mean Alice is. I want to explore this new body, but the bath will be better for that. I slip on a robe and start running my bath. Might as way do the thing right and have a bubble bath!  I am offended by hearing a giggle come out of me! Toes pointed down I slid into the water. It feels heavenly! I feel the cares of the day slipping away. Sensuously I scrub my body. I feel so soft and smooth.  I keep myself from masturbating for a time - then decide what the hell. I slip a slim finger into my womanhood. Oh, that feels good! I feel a flush coming over my body. With my other hand I play with my tits. That makes things even better. Oh, Yes - much better. Wow! I shake and stifle a scream. Then Wow again! Not bad I decide - not as intense, but longer lasting and it felt like my whole body was affected not just a dick and balls. I wont tell Alice about this what she doesn't know wont hurt her!AliceI feel so strong. I can do forty push ups. I want to try out this body - I feel very horny - I don't know if its because of the switch or whether George has been too lazy to do the necessary work to get laid. Anyway - I feel horny. My new dick becomes excited thinking of some of my girl friends. Humm! That sexy exchange student from Brazil, Carmen,  really has the hots for George - she told me so and asked me to help her get him in the sack. I didn't do it. I thought she could do better than my lazy brother - but now my perspective has changed. I call her up and she jumps at the chance to come on over. I open the door and there's Carmen throwing back her hair. She is gorgeous -if a little obvious - she is so dressed to fuck.There's something about being in George's body that makes me appreciate Carmen's charms a lot more. I run my fingers through her, long gorgeous black hair and she presses her soft body against mine. God! That really got my attention!  I feel myself trembling with desire and a knowing smile comes across her face. She kisses me and I respond hungrily. I led her willing sweet young flesh into my bedroom.WOW!  She is really eager and very, very good in the sack!  Something about a hot Latin. I feel so powerful being a man. It is so intense and explosive. I still prefer sex as a female, but this is great. Really great! I won't tell George about this as what he doesn't know wont hurt him.GeorgeI am worn out. Its been a very stressful day for this body. I pat myself dry and put on the powder just as Alice instructed in her ten page list of do's and don'ts. God - she is so organized that its pathetic. I slip on a satin night gown. It really feels good. I seem to have acquired  her sensuousness as well as a body. OK I sit across from her vanity - good word for that in a woman's room. Vanity. Well anyway I start brushing Alice's long - hair the little shit might really fine me if I don't do it. I am actually surprised - it feels really good. I smile at the mirror my hair is even more lustrous.  Mom comes in and kisses me goodnight. I smile Alice's sweet little girl smile up at her even though I want to gag and I say goodnight in Alice's manner. My dreams are not restful. I dream about walking through school and then everyone pointing at me laughing saying - look its good old George in Alice's body! - What a sissy! He's a girl. I wake up with a gasp and as I sit up my tits are quivering. I look down at them. This isn't a dream. I am really in my sister's body. I get up and take a fearsome pee - what mess! Well I had better get dressed and ready for school  - I grimace in the mirror - Alice looks washed out - I will  have to do something with make-up! This is almost as bad as working.Well at least I don't have to decide what to wear as the school requires uniforms. Alice laid out fresh clothes before she came over. I don't like the panties she has out. Too frilly. In for a penny in for a pound, I think and slip them on. It sure feels funny not having a dick. I look at the bra and wish for lighter fluid -after even one  night in those things I can see why women once burned the monstrosities. Still I can't raise suspicions so -  I fight and struggle - ouch the damn thing pinched my very sensitive nipples. 'Once more into the breech dear friends, once more!" I mutter with her sweet voice. I try putting the tits in the bra, but when I move my hands to the back to fasten it - the damn things falls off! Shit! I toss the bra in the  laundry and look in her draws for one that fastens in the front. I believe she put the other one out on purpose! That's better. I look in the mirror feeling like a Victoria Secret model. Damn it! I am just fuzzy - on go the glasses - not bad. The blouse is thick enough not to need a slip, she writes. I look in the mirror. God damn son-of-a-bitch. The black bra shows through! I didn't think of that. I put it back in the draw and get out a white one. That's better. I was glad now the night mare woke me up a little early. In my old body I would been half way to school by now. I slip on the skirt and have a hard time with my hips - I unzip and try again. Alice is getting a little hippy - needs to spend more time dancing and less time siting and studying. I zip it up. Crooked! I try again. It'll have to do.I look in the mirror and rub a smooth hand over an even smoother face. At least I wont have to shave. It is very strange. I contemplate my sister's face. No question she is really pretty. Now the part I am dreading the most - make up. I follow Alice's instructions. Yuck! I look terrible - its like trying to follow a recipe that Mom once made me make - a pinch of this a drop of this - women! I try again and again. Finally I look good. I am really very pretty I think rather smugly. Now I have to go downstairs and make breakfast for the nag. Alice always has done it since she was twelve - what a suck up! I almost dance down the stairs - wow ! I feel so light on my feet."What do you want for breakfast, Mom?" I yell in my sister's soprano."My usual, dear." What the fuck is her usual? I glance at the list - next page - Ah here it is - toast, fresh grapefruit, coffee and yogurt. Oink Oink mother. I usually only have coffee, but this morning I am hungry for cereal somehow. I with hands that move a lot faster and more dexterous  than my former ones I get it ready. Mom comes in wearing her usual power suit, high heels  and just reeking of some perfume. Yuck! I must make a face because she says:"Now Alice, don't say anything. I know you don't like this perfume, but Mr. Jones, the senior partner gave it to me and I have to wear it once a week." She kisses me on the cheek. "I am so lucky to have a sweet daughter like you - makes up for the dead beat son."Boy I can't tell you how delighted that makes me feel. Thanks Mom! But I smile Alice's little girl smile and say."Now Mom, George isn't that bad."She snorted with derision. "That's not what you usually say! I guess he made you promise to soft peddle the criticism since he helped you. I bet he has never cleaned his rooms - has he?""Well -""That's what I thought! Let's change the subject - I trust you will not disappointment me - and do well on your history test. Don't forget - I've promised you five thousand dollars when you graduate with honors!"Five thousand dollars! Fuck! Mom never gave me a dime for graduating! Humm - Alice has been holding out on me. The sly little puss. I want half! Fair is fair! I smile confidently." Leave it to me!" I say with a mouth full of cereal."Don't talk with your mouth full, Alice. You remind me of your brother and father!" She shuddered. "Call me when you get home, sweetie!""I will, Mom." Get the kiss over with I tell myself. I fill my back pack with school books and head out to my bike. Shit - here we go again. I long for my junker.  I do better - I only fall off once on the way to school. I look at the brick building and shudder - I thought I had escaped from this place last year and here I am again! The things I wont do for an easy money, but it didn't look so easy right now. I fix a bright smile on my beautiful face and imitate Alice's dash up the stairs which I have seen a thousand times over the years.Her friends greet me as I come walking in. The ones I know I answer by name - the others I just say "hi" and let it go at that. Now that's weird - almost all the guys are staring at me.Some even have the nerve to brush 'accidentally' up against me. What a bunch of pigs. I feel really uncomfortable. When I get my real body back I will behave better - maybe.I glance surreptitiously at Alice's notes. I need the combination to her locker. In go the books I don't need. God, wouldn't you know it - Alice has a picture of Lenardo in her locker! Gag me! The guys a silly, smirking jerk, but all the girls just swoon! Well I am not looking at it all day. I tear it up. I notice Nancy Richards staring at my oddly. I smile sweetly at her and she smiles sweetly back. Even ten feet away I can feel the antagonism - Alice's name on a tombstone would be her favorite reading.It was weird, I think moving down the hallway in my old school, really weird. To the whole damn world I am Alice! Even though I have the creeps I need to keep Alice sweet little girl smile on my face. It means as little as it did when Alice wore it, I think sourly. Only I knew what an ambitions little fiend she was. How did I ever let myself get talk into it - easy money - the curse of the Guile's. I get to Alice's first class and thanks to her being anal retentive I find her seat from the diagram she gave me. Some boys really were giving me the eye, making me feel like I had no clothes on. God, I must be really cute,  I think feeling rather smug to my surprise.  I smile my way through a English class. It was eerie - they - the - class was just finishing up a discussion of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night - where boy and girl twins get mistaken for each other. Talk about life intimating art! I kept my mouth shut. I hate Shakespeare! Why couldn't the man spell or speak English? As I gather up my books and started to leave, I am startled."Alice!" said the teacher.That's me. God did I give myself away somehow? What the fuck was her name - it was gone and the harder I tried for it the further away it got?" Yes, Ma'am?"  I answer in a small voice."Are you feeling all right, you weren't your usual self in class today. Usually you're the life and soul of the discussion group. You especially identify with this play because you say you have a brother who is lost at sea."Thanks very much, Alice!  I love you, too! I have an inspiration. The name comes to me - Miss Nelson."Miss Nelson, I am just worried about the history test."She put  sympathetic hand on my shoulder. "I heard about Mr. Mr. Kreuger giving you almost a zero on your paper. You've need to remember dear, that though men have caused all the problems in history - they're also the ones that grade papers and they don't like to hear of the failures. Relax, dear I know you will do well on your finals.""Thank you" I say in my sister's soft, sweet voice. How up chuck it sounds, I think.Gym class next. Looking at naked girls might be fun, I thought, if only I didn't have to take off all these damn clothes I barely got on this morning  and then put them back on again. This is not easy money - and before I  give her body back  Sis was going to have to fork over more cash! This was the hardest easy money I have ever made. I was astounded  and disappointed - the naked girls did nothing for me! What a bummer! I guess being in a girl's body makes a difference! Unconsciously I find myself looking on them as competition and wishing I had bigger boobs! Damn!! God, but do girls chatter! The sounds come from all around. I just listen to Alice's friends chatter away about their boyfriends and how the boys lack stamina and holding power. God, girls are gross! I have real trouble undressing in all this crowd, no elbow room. I know I am awkward slipping off the skirt and out of the bra and into the gym clothes. I find Nancy Richards looking at me oddly. Caught in the rush  I scamper out with the rest of the girls to the athletic field. Would they ever be surprised how well Alice would do today in soft ball! I hit the shit out of the ball and make a diving catch in center field. Nancy comes up to me and says in a snide voice:"Since when did you become such a jock, Miss little Prissy would be lawyer?"I flush." Get fucked!"She looks startled. " What happened to your lady like language? Well for your information I will get fucked - tonight - by MY boy friend Steve, whom you weren't able to get your claws into - you little bitch!"We start to go at each other, screaming and name calling. The other girls separate us and we glare murderously at each other.God, it still feels weird to take a shower in Alice's body. I am careful not to get my long hair wet. Then on with damn clothes - still a struggle - damn bras to hell and back! Thank god, I do all right  with the make-up - Just lipstick The big one is coming up - the history test! Here's where I earn my money - lets see - we orginally agreed on 1500 - but that's when I thought Alice only had 2000.16. She's getting another 5,000 from mom. Not a penny would she get if it wasn't for me - so I think I should get half of that. So my price has gone to 2500. Not bad for taking one test. Easy Money! Dad would be proud of me! I smile a perky smile."You look mighty confident for someone whose not going to graduate little Miss Hot Pants!" Nancy hisses in my ear." You're sinking like the Titanic! Mr. Kreuger won't be swayed by your 'cute little girl charm' so just bite me!" I didn't bite the bitch but I did 'accidentally' trip her and down she goes in an ungraceful heap, books and papers flying everywhere."Sorry, sorry!" I say sweetly in Alice most dulcet tones.A flood of very unlady like language comes out of sweet looking lips.I hurry into the history class. Mr. Kreuger gives me a hard look as I scramble into Alice's regular seat. I hunch down over the test paper and get comfortable. I notice Nancy staring at me oddly. Who cares! The only hard question was "What did Bismarck mean when he said' I will not go to Phillipa?'"I handed in my paper ten minutes before the bell - it was interesting to see than my hand writing was Alice's neat, girlish and legible writing."Giving up so soon, Alice?"I smile ever so sweetly. I am so sick of smiling sweetly I want to gag!"No, sir. I have finished all the questions."He looks startled and out of the corner of my eye I feel a surprised glance from Nancy. He starts grading. I return to me seat and stick my tongue out at her. Which makes her looked even more startled. When the bell rings Mr. Kreuger clears his throat and says:"Just a moment everyone I have surprising announcement - proving what I have said all a long - everyone can do better if they apply themselves - Alice Reynolds I am pleased and proud to report has scored a perfect 100% on the final! Congratulations Alice!"My - Alice's friends come up and congratulate me with 'way to go!' from the guys and hugs from the girls. Nancy just glowers. She stalks up to Mr. Kreuger."Mr. Kreuger! Something is very wrong - no way in the world can Alice Reynolds get 100 on  history test - she barely knows who discovered America. "Why the bitch! I think.The teacher shoes the class out. "Are you accusing, Alice of cheating?""Something is wrong. That's all I know. She's been acting weird all day - she's usually the all American out and today she hits two homers and double and when a ball is hit to her she usually runs the other way. Today, she dove - really dove at the ball and caught it! "Kreuger smiled indulgently." Nancy, don't you think you're being a little imaginative. So she has a good day on the soft ball field. What's that got to do with a history test?"" That's not all! You know how prim and proper she is - well she was sitting with her legs wide apart and not crossed at all during the test! ""I was concentrating on the test!" This little bitch was worrying me - what if they should find out what happened? All hell would break lose!"Also, she tripped me in the hallway.""Did not! She tripped over her big feet.""I do not have big feet!""DO TOO!""Not!""Too!""Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" cried Mr. Kreuger putting his hands to his ears.Nancy look a deep breath. " I'm not sure if this is the real Alice Reynolds or if she just cheated on the test. and I will tell my mother on the school board if this isn't investigated! She may have hired an impostor for all we know or have the answers from someone on a two way radio or something."The teacher calls the principle and I'm to be investigated. Oh, shit! I am marched down to the nurses office with Nancy Richards with a smug smile following me. I am stripped to my underwear by a dikey looking nurse - and Nancy looks disappointed when of course they find nothing, but a pretty girl.  The Woman assistant principle checks everything out."No hidden, devises." Says the woman  - rumor has it she was head guard in a maximum security prison, but got fired for brutality. "OK, now we check things out at the principle's office.""Not quite, I want to phone my mother the lawyer. "I say in Alice's best indignant tones.Things got awful quite then." Very well, though innocent people don't need lawyers."I raised my beautiful eyebrows at this. And I got to a phone and called first Mom - who was coming right down. She was furious. Then thinking if I was sweating it out the real Alice should sweat, too. I called my old apartment. When Alice answered I told 'him' what had happened."Oh, shit! Well just hang tough - admit nothing! They can't prove a thing. By the way what did you get on the test? A hundred wow! You get a twenty dollar bonus! ""We'll talk about that later."Then in a casual voice that immediately aroused my suspicious Alice asked."Have you seen Carmen, today?""No, why?""Just wondering" Alice hung up.Humm! Hummm! With mom we went into he principles office and she blistered them pretty good. They  ask me oral questions about history and I answered them. I found that Alice's ability to cry fake tears stayed with her body and I made good use of the. I know I presented a pitiful picture - a sweet innocent young girl persecuted and accused unjustly.  Then Nancy insisted I was really Alice's even more evil twin or something. Mom squashed this by using the finger prints on my - or rather Alice's driver's license. It was stupid,  but for a moment I was worried, before it dawn on me that if I had Alice's bod -I would certainly have her finger prints! Nancy was put on detention and she had to apologize to me. She looked daggers as she said she was sorry, her thoughts burned into me - she was thinking she was sorry she hadn't stuck a knife in me and twisted the blade in the wound."By the way, young Lady - tell your Mom to expect my bill in the mail.""Bill?" Nancy asked stupidly."Yes, I charge 250 dollars an hour - I lost 2 hours coming down here on your foolish spite and your mother is going to pay it or I'll take the whole family to court for slander."Nancy started to cry." She take it out of my allowance.""Good!" I said with a triumphant smile. And watched Nancy leave the room in tears.Mom, kissed me goodbye and for once I returned her kiss with warmth. This easy money business was not as easy as I thought. I glanced at my schedule for the rest of the day. Lets see - I had missed out on lunch, but was surprised to find I wasn't  hungry. In my own body I am always hungry. Also I had miss geology - but there was no test there and Alice already had a A+ it hardly mattered. Great - a home economics class. Just great! Just what I need - not! Well there I was with a bunch of giggling girls who asked me was it really true that Nancy Richards had accused me of cheating? I nod and thought it would be good politics to cry and again. Alice's well honed talent came to the front.  The teacher finally broke up the gabfest.Fuck! I had to bake a cake. I put a frilly apron over my uniform and stared through Alice Myopic eyes at the recipe - it was a fancy rum cake to celebrate the last day of class. Separate eggs - now do you separate eggs? Mom had never done much cooking and dad wouldn't be caught dead near a kitchen except to get beer from the frig.. I watched the other girls.  God - it looked disgusting. The first one I tried didn't even crack - then I hit it too hard and it went everywhere - yuck gooey stuff on my hands. But if these girls could do it so could I! I sifted flour - twice - If once was good I reasoned twice was better. It got all over everything, but was it light and fluffy. I gad to stop to clean my glasses. I smelled the batter - Humm - needs more rum extract and vanilla my now sensitive nose told me somehow. ( I do like to eat. And once dated an ugly girl for a long time because she was sweet, went Dutch and could cook up a storm.) I found Alice's hands and movement more dexterous and graceful then my own. I put it into the oven later than most, but at least I turned on the oven. A few girls didn't even do that and a frowning teacher came by and had to turn them the ovens on for these deebs. "You girls may think it silly, but cooking is more important to man in picking a wife than good looks!  Any girl here who doesn't want to trap a husband raise their hand."We look around - no hand went up. In a spirit of mischief I wanted to raise mine, but I stay in protective camouflage. I make the icing again adding more butter, rum and vanilla.  I almost got burned taking the cake out of the oven. When the teacher - Miss Fran tasted them she kept making faces - "You girls will drive boys away - what ever you do don't let them taste your cooking." Then she tasted mine. "Why, Alice - this is superb! I didn't know you had such a natural gift - I will raise your grade from satisfactory to outstanding!" She passed the cake around and it got lip smacking approval. Mary another friend of my sisters - I too had know her for ten years piped up - " Hey, maybe Nancy was right and you are your Evil Twin Skippy!"I feel like I should say something. Then I remembered a Halloween." Maybe - remember when we were ten or so and I went as Darth Vader and you as Princess Leia?"Mary laughed " Yeah and you got mad because your helmet kept you from eating candy!"I went to the girls room to freshen up and looked horrified in the mirror. The girls behind me laughed loudly."We were wondering when you would notice?"My god! I look terrible - my face and hair are covered with flour. Hurriedly I clean up. Walking down the corridor I spot Carmen. I hurry up to her. She looks a little self conscious.Ah, Ha!" Seen anything of George?""What George?" she answers, guardedly."My brother, George?""No, did he say anything to you? " her features were flushed."Just asked if I had seen you today.""Oh, Well see you around.""Did he ask you over last night? " I didn't know if I should be mad, amused or indignant  or morally outraged."Well -" her lovely dark features blushed furiously. " Well - as I told you before I always really liked him "she said with her charming accent. " I really wanted him bad -so when he called well - we're also seeing each other - tonight I am cooking him some Brazilian specialties - Alice,  you don't think he's too good for me, do you?""No, just being nosy." I couldn't believe my holier than thou sister used my body to get laid last night." I couldn't believe it! I feel like charging some sort of stud fee. "And how dare keep a beauty like this away from me! I knew what she was thinking of course. She didn't want her friends involved with her 'lazy' brother. I am going to kick her ass! But I better wait until I am not using it. I check my appearance out on her compact. No getting around it - I am cute. The charming face in the mirror smiles an impish grin at me. I know what I will do - I will tell Alice I am going out with  my buddy Steve  she thinks he's really gross! Of course, I could really go out with him, but I shudder - he is gross - probably be trying to grope me all night. No, I will just tell Alice I dating him. I find myself giggling. It is really weird.  Some friends ask me over to their house for a parity - what the hell - Mary will be by for me at 7. It might really be fun! I get on my bike and head on homeThere are 7 messages on the machine - there all from Alice, getting more and more hysterical wanting to know what's happened. God, the girl has really lost it - what if mom would have got these messages, granted she doesn't come right out and say she's Alice, but since when did I ever get excited about my sister's grades. I erase the messages no since taking any chances the last thing we need is a one of Mom's patented lectures - How would she put this?  - "Don't you kids know its foolish and irresponsible for you to exchange bodies? Parker vs Hamerslogger clearly demonstrates the liability in such a case.""Hello George," I say sweetly into the phone."Thank God you called - where have you been - what happened?""Oh, Mom kicked the stuffing out of them as usual - it was good seeing someone ground up before her besides me. You're graduating with honors. Mr. Kreuger was so upset with Nancy  and was so taken with my apologies about your paper and that I had been under the influence of crazy feminists when I wrote and that if it weren't for men we woman would still be in caves. The man just melted before me when I batted these baby blues at him - really Sis you should use these great ASSets more - ( bite me! she said) that he added a few points to my - your grade and we ended up with an A - he also gave me extra credit for the oral exam under pressure in the Principles office. He seemed really touched when I explained what an inspirational teacher he was - that was why I knew history so well!"Alice made some gagging sounds on the other end. "I will never live your sucking up down!""Who sucks up to mother all the time? ""That's different!""Funny! I thought you were going to say that. By the way,  do you really think you should be deceiving a nice girl like Carmen?"Long pause, then, " I don't know what you are talking about!" she said in a rush."As if! You're getting her to cook you a meal tonight and last night you got lucky! You used my body to get laid and you know it. Well I am glad we can do that because I'm dating my old pal Steve tonight!"Don't you dare let that disgusting pervert touch my body!""See you later, BROTHER - don't bother calling because I wont be answering the phone."After setting down the phone I laugh so hard my side hurts. Then the damn glasses fall off again. I am starving. Miss Fran has given me her favorite recipe for roast beef. I run down to the store and get the ingredients and charge it. I am really hungry for some red meat! Mom believes in the frozen dinner school of cuisine.. I am just finishing taking the Beouff Ala Bourgone out of the oven. "Muuum! That smells good Alice. What is it?"I tell her we are celebrating my A in history and she graciously allows me a glass of wine. I usually hate wine, but who knows I might like it now with this cure little bod. Besides after today I can use a drink. Tastes OK. Mom kisses me and thanks me for the wonderful dinner.  "Thank God I have one child I can be proud of! The best you can say about your brother that is that he is too lazy to steal and that's the only reason he isn't in jail!"Eat shit Mom! I think. Great all I have done today is raise Alice's stock over the ten thousand mark while mine is in the basement with the rats and mice. I lead the conversation around to the money. Sure enough, she has promised Alice 5,000 when she graduates. All she gave me was a twenty dollar gift certificate at Borders Books. Of course she was pissed when I refused to go to college - why waste time in school when the easy money might just be around the corner.I decide to dress sexy for the party - if you've got it flaunt it. I wear a mini skirt, sexy legging with patterns - they made my legs look even better. I also found hidden at the bottom of Alice's drawers a miracle bra - what a hoot! I struggle it on - I look at least a cup size larger - so I find a blouse that shows some nice cleavage. I sneak out of the house without Mom seeing me - she as usual; was working on a brief to cheat somebody out of something. Mary is here and off I go.I get dropped off tried, but happy about 1:00AM - god its terrible to have a curfew again. And I only got up to one with begging - usually its 12. I had a few giggles with the girls - it was fun playing Alice and listening to girls taking about guys - pretty hot stuff! I thought we boys were gross - Alice's girl friends had boys beat.  Most of them thought I ( the old I George) was cute, but poor husband material. That was good! I felt safer for it! Less chance of some girl roping me into marriage and me having to go out working for a living. I drank some white wine, teased and flirted with some boys - got back at some jocks for their treatment of me last year. God with this cute, sexy body I sure had their tongues hanging out. Howard Jones was there - I knew him slightly - he came with his sister - he was the oldest son of the managing partner at Mom's firm. It was tempting to get Alice in trouble by being nasty to him, but that kind of thing can get out of hand in a hurry. She still has my own body - which I am very found of and would not like to give up. God she might even sign me up for a hitch in the marines! My thoughts go cold. Be nice I smile sweetly. I am surprised to find him likable. He asks me out and I am trying to find a graceful way to refuse when he mentions that he want to take me to the best restaurant in the city and a play afterward - Phantom - god tickets to that cost more than fifty bucks and Dinner at Chez Louis almost that.. Hey, there were some advantages to being a girl after all! So I smile my sister best sweet smile and say "I would love, too!." I won't tell Sis about this - what she doesn't know won't hurt her! Besides she owes me for Carmen.AliceSaturday Night.I am still furious. George is a real shit!! He deliberately kept me hanging. I pour myself a beer. Calm down, Calm down. I order myself sternly. The important thing is that - jerk though he is - he brought you from a F to an A in history. I give him this - he is really good at sucking up when he wants too. I can just imagine him turning it on for Mr. Kreuger - of course it was easier for him than me - because I can't stand the man and he was George's favorite teacher.  Tomorrow night I get my own beautiful body and life back, thank God! George doesn't know about the 5,000 that Mom promised me. What men doesn't know won't hurt them, as Mom always says.  It is strange to shave a face - ouch! I always thought it would be as easy as shaving my legs, but its not! I look in the mirror with satisfaction. Mom would hardly know George now - nice sport coat, well pressed pants hair combed and with a fashionable cut. If I have to stay in George's clumsy body I am at least going to make it look presentable. I glance at my watch. Time to head on over to Carmen's - she is making me a real Brazilian dinner. Again, boy what girls won't do to capture a man!  But I am sure the real hot stuff will come for desert. In away I feel like I'm imposing on her, but hey she is enjoying herself with her dream man - even if her dream man is really a woman inside. It is confusing. This time I hope Carmen does better keeping our date away from George in my body -  what he doesn't know wont hurt him!  Besides, he owes me for keeping the news away from me and scaring with that lie about dating Steve ( As if!)- I called Steve's house and he was there with a few buds drinking too much beer. I should have know better - George is to macho ever to go out on a date!  I have nothing to worry about. Tonight he's probably sitting at home with a quiet evening with Mom - doing his favorite thing - nothing!  God he is so damn lazy!  Mom and I are really worried about him. Mom's being trying for years to find some way to control him, without success. I take the steps two at a time - Carmen is waiting! Man she goes beyond cool to hot!GeorgeI never thought I would go out on a date with a man - but hey - biologically I am a girl now - so that makes it OK! Mom is delighted that I am dating her boss's son. Remember the Fregeari rules of acquisition from star trek - it never hurts to suck up to the boss. Surprisingly she even agrees to me wearing the miracle bra. I send her for something - so she doesn't notice the struggle I have getting the damn thing on. I look in the mirror with satisfaction. I really look hot! The bra makes me go from B to C - who says I don't know my ABC s I giggle at my wit. I put on a garter belt and beautiful silk stockings - its bit of a struggle not to snag them but its worth it. Mom comes back with a broad smile:"Surprise! " she whips out a box. Inside is a beautiful evening dress on blue and gold. She holds it up to me and I gasp - god I will knock his socks off wearing this.Impulsively I hug her." Thanks, mom! Its gorgeous and so sexy!" I am excited as I put it on with Mom's help. I look in the mirror smugly - poor Howard he doesn't stand a chance - he will have his tongue hanging down to the ground all evening. Mom helps me with my long golden blond hair and puts evening make up on me. I make kissy faces at the mirror. I feel so good being so beautiful. I veto the heels. She looks disappointed, but gives in.I am flush with excitement - I've never really felt this way before. When the doorbell rings I almost dance with excitement. Mom smiles at me."I'll go down and let him in. When I call out Howard is here you come floating down the stairs."I nod not trusting my voice.It works like a charm. Gracefully I shimmer down the stairs - a blond vision - a goddess descending on to earth. Sophisticated though he is his mouth drops open. I glow with confidence that he will never forget this moment or me. I slip my arm through his and guide him out the door. I forgive mom and Alice a lot right now - sometimes woman do need to direct men. He finally finds his voice." I always knew you were cute, but - god tonight you are drop dead gorgeous the most beautiful woman in the world."I flush pleased with the compliment. I have trouble with the long, satin skirt getting into his Corvette. I think indignantly about Mom - she never bought me  a car! I had to work my fingers to the bone to win my junker at cards. I have never been in Chez Louis before. I see myself in a bronze mirror - a beautiful girl with eyes dancing with delight and on her arm is tall, dark, handsome man. I smile to hear Howard confess - he's never been here before either! But they know his father and my mother. So we are treated like special people - almost like lost sons and daughters. My heart freezes and so does my smile."I heard from my dad who heard from your mother how good you are in French. Would you translate the menu for me?"The waiter most have noticed my terror as he take pity on me and smoothly says. "High school French does not equip one for a great cuisine. You must permit me to order for you." Nervously Howard glances at his billfold. The waiter smiles with Gaelic charm,." Do not worry young man - your father has instructed me to put all on his charge.""Wew!" Howard says unashamed and I feel a tenderness in myself - the boy needs looking after. He clears his throat - "I suppose there's no chance of getting - Ah a little wine?"The waiter looked properly shock." Monsieur! Did you wish us to lose our license - you are both underage. No your father instructed us to give you each a glass of cider."We laugh and make faces at each other. It is a warm moment. They come out with cider in flute glasses - we taste and look at each other with grins and find ourselves whispering at the same time:"It is champagne."The waiters eyes twinkle." Enjoying your, 'Cider'""Best cider I ever had!" says Howard with a silly grin.It tickles my nose. The meal is fabulous! Why can't mom cook like this! I love good food - and resolve that I am going to learn how to cook  - after all did I not make the best cake in Home Ec? The chef comes out and introduces himself - recklessly I tell him I want to learn how to cook - he tells me to come back any time and he will work with me, it is a pleasure to teach such a lovely young woman!Well that blows that, I think still smiling, I will soon be George again - and Alice has about as much interested in being a chef as I do digging ditches.The play is exciting and I feel for the girl being trapped by the phantom. At intermission Howard gets us some more champagne. I love it. It makes me feel wild and reckless. In the car he kisses me. Interesting - and very enjoyable. I kiss him back. As a man I had no interest in men - but now that I am in Alice's beautiful body it seems a shame not to take advantage of the situation - it will be my last chance to feel what a woman feels like having sex. Mom and Sis always said I should become more educated. So I agree to his stammering proposition. His folks are not home for the evening. So we head back there. Wow! What a mansion - way cool! Mom squeezes every Nickel - the Jones's show their money! No wonder people have trouble keeping up with them. I find I love the touch of his hand on my bottom as he not so subtly guides me into the house. Inside he sweeps me into his arms. A find being a girl in a man's arms is even better than being a man with a girl in his arms. I feel it from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. Damn it I giggle! How uncool! But he doesn't seem to mind. I let the trembling boy touch my breasts. Oh, that does feel good - better than when I did it myself. I make him undress me in front of the fire place - they have a great bear rug there and it feels so good on my naked skin. I find myself growing moist down below and my slit is widening, This is really weird! His mouth hungrily devours mine. Hey this isn't bad at all. I won't tell Alice of course - what she doesn't know wont hurt her. Besides, she owes me for that A and especially for Carmen.Poor boy can't get enough of touching and kissing my breasts and to be honest they can't get enough of it either. I am worried about how I will like being penetrated - oh well - give it a try I close my eyes and guide by touch his eager member into my throbbing one - what ever my misgivings, my current body has none! Oh! That does feel gooood! I hope he can keep it up, but I know twenty year old men and I am not holding my breath for endurance, suddenly I don't have any breath to hold at all - I start gasping - it feels so good - he is so hard! I orgasm! My whole body shudders and then he starts coming in buckets! I guess I really turned him on I  think smugly. I feel aglow - alive. I still like being a man better, but being a girl you feel it throughout your body, but you do have to surrender control to the man to get there and it is not as powerful. But it was great fun and I felt far more tender then I have ever felt before! I snuggle my head on his broad, stronger shoulder and he tells me how much he enjoyed himself and how beautiful I am. I do not find myself offended by his praise. Fuck! his parents are home - we look at each other with alarm!"My dad will kill me! ""I should only be so lucky with my mom!" I whisper back. We scramble desperately for our clothes! He stifles a laugh "Alice, you're putting on my boxers!"I blush red" Sorry!" Our hearts stand still - they are coming into the living room. We grab our clothes and scramble behind the sofa. I don't think anyone ever put silk stockings on as fast as I did - I saw Howard  dive into his pants. Somehow I got the damn bra back on. Oh, my god the god of luck was toying with us. They sat down in the sofa! We looked at each other - his eyes were showing a lot of white. Shit! my glasses were still on the table next to where Mr. Jones put his drink. Fuck glasses anyway! I dart out a hand and grabbed for them just as his hand comes down - oh my god he misses mine by a hairbreadth. I put my glasses on. And struggle into my dress. Howard is a gentlemen he helps me fasten it - thank god it is not a zipper. We craw on the floor - then duck behind a screen as his mother gets up." I hope Howard and that nice Alice Reynolds had a better time tonight than we did!" she says. Our hands go over our mouths to stifle giggles. "Yes, the party in San Francisco turned out to be incredibly dull and the guest of honor never showed. I glad you agreed to let me fly you back home. It would have been throwing good time after bad to have spent the night at their house." I straighten my hair by touch and comb his for him - his hands are trembling too much to do it. Oh, great - I am leaking into my panties! What a night! But then I grin at Howard and he grins back - I don't think either one of either regretted it or would forget it. I only hope Alice won't freeze him when he calls - if he calls - after all he got lucky tonight - he might not call at all - well that was Alice's worry - not mine I tell myself. We wait for them to turned the other way. I shudder to think what they would have seen if they would have looked through towards the screen. Two frighten young heads staring at them from ground level. We tip toe out of the room. I slip on my flats and he into his shoes. We head for the door when he bumps into the hall table upsetting a framed photograph of a horse."Is that you, Howard?" asked his mother."Yes, mom" his voice quavers. I grip his hand reassuringly and we walk in to living room.His Mom grins at us. " I know what you two have been doing! Naughty, naughty!""You do?" I asked - my eyes wide with fright. "Yes, I can - young lady - I am not so old that I don't remember what young people like to do - your lipstick is hopeless smudged - you've been kissing my son!"I smile with relief. "Guilty - but he is so cute."Howard flushes.I look around. God, in this body Alice has the innocent act right down to these finger tips. I bet she has been in these tight situations before - the little flirt! " Beautiful room " I say causally."That's right - you have never been here before have you Alice?""No, Mr. Jones." The old lech took me by the arm and showed me around.We escaped when I told him we had to go to make my curfew. His mother  embraced and said:"You and your mother will have to come over for dinner. ""Thank you, Mrs. Jones" I said sweetly. 'Alice, lying must be in your bones', I tell my self."Is your brother any better - I know he's been a real worry to your mother - when we talk she's always complaining he just like his father - completely worthless and untractable."I manage to keep the same sweet smile. I wonder if a son can sue his mother for slander. I will have to find a good lawyer. 'Thanks a lot mom!' I think not for the first time. Finally we get away into the safety of his car. We look at each other and break into wild laughter - he kisses my laughing mouth and I do not mind that at all. Then we shake hands and he takes me home. He promises to call - who cares if he doesn't, I tell myself.I throw away my beautiful new silk stockings - they were ruined - too much crawling on the floor I guess! Before going to bed I have to wash out my panties. Being a girl can really suck. Shit - we didn't use any protection! What if I am pregnant - no it couldn't happen - it would be too bizarre. I smile _ I wonder how Sis - little Miss goodie too shoes would handle that! Hummm! I have a hunch I search the bottom of her jewelry box - she thinks its a secret - yah right. I find birth control pills. I sigh with relief. I take one. I only missed last night I see from looking at them. Hopefully I - no Alice will be OK. I think of Alice sitting alone tonight and grin. She probably thinks I am watching TV - oh, well - what she doesn't know wont hurt her.That morning I wake up. I can not believe what I did last night! I really had sex with a man! I shudder. I need to get out of this body before I go native. I group for my glasses and the world reapers magically from its blur. I know that on Sunday morning Mom takes Alice out to breakfast. So at least I don't have to do anything but smile - oh, shit I will also have to go to church. Boring! I will get out of it somehow. Yeah - it will be easy.I am setting in the pew next to Mom and I am most uncomfortably dressed. I had run out of Alice's 'fasten in the front bras' and I felt like an Indian rubber man in the circus when I got this one on - it wouldn't be decent to got to church bra less - sure I'm so sure God would be turned on - sure right! Well what should I expect from an Episcopalians like us. I wore a dress so terminally cute ( mom of course picked it pout for me) that I thought I would puke. Why couldn't I wear something comfortable? Well I guess people on Sunday think they are moral if they are uncomfortable. Thank god it was my last day in Panty Hose! Alice was certainly welcome to the clothes and the glasses! God! I missed my eyes and getting dressed in five minutes. Then I smile and think about how sweet Howard was to me and now much I enjoyed having him in my arms. And how much we seemed to share when we shook on fooling his folks. I felt a little sad knowing I would never see him again. I couldn't take the chance of slipping - what was it the Jack Lemon said in Some Like It Hot - 'they're going to take us down to the Ladies Morgue and undress us and I am going to die of shame!' I am looking forward to tonight and getting out of this emotional tangle - this jungle of confusion. Humm - I think I will try for 3,000 from dear old Sis. The sermon was about the evils of greed - like the rest of the congregation  I didn't pay any attention. After the service I had to smile prettily to a bunch of people who I hated as George but who thought Alice the cutest thing since Kermit the frog. I wish I had ten dollars for everyone who touched my cheek! Gag me! I just found out that my Aunt was expecting me and Mom for afternoon tea! I am not going! Mom can't make me.I smiled as I nodded for one lump of sugar in my tea. God, I was so submissive in Alice's body! I think it had to do with size as well as sex - as George I have always been bigger than Mom ever since I was 12. I somehow smiled all the way through - first they started off being catty about other females - I pitched in with stories of Nancy Richards to be credible at this hen pecking and then - I knew it - I just knew it! They started in on me - the George me of course. I was so sick of hearing myself bashed everywhere I went. Anyone would I think I was some worthless lazy good for nothing and it wasn't true! I mentioned and mom backed me up that 'George'  volunteered time at the children's hospital, but this was nothing to these females compared to the fact that he wasn't making enough money to be husband material for some girl and so was worthless. Then they went on about poor dad. Wow! I knew he was 'creative' but I didn't know he had been that creative. I  got away early  by saying I would go and talk to my poor misguided brother."I fear it is hopeless " said Mom sighing, patting my hand 'like try your best, but the world knows its hopeless.'Not for the first time I wondered if I could get away with murdering Mom on the grounds of Justifiable Homicide - maybe the judge would throw in the rest of these bitches - NO extra Charge. The thought of them all weltering in their life blood made my smile genuine.So I took Mom's car home - one of the gaggle of relatives would take her home latter after they finished trashing most of the population of the city. But I had to leave the  car at home. I had a few hours left in this cute body - so being a person of taste and refinement I took a long bath. It had been a Chinese curse - 'an interesting weekend!' Just about everything that could go wrong had gone wrong. But the positive  was that I had delivered - Alice had an A in History! I would get my money and this nightmare in Alice's body would be a bad dream. As I drifted in and out a doze I found my thoughts turning to Howard. He was nice and I had enjoyed my night with him. I shook myself away from those thoughts. I patted myself dry and put on powder - too heavy - it made me sneeze. No bra - if Alice didn't like when she got back into her body she could lump it. I wanted to wear jeans, but I couldn't get into them  without laying on the bed and pulling them up. Alice was more interested in showing off her cute little butt then comfort. I finally settle on a loose, comfortable dress. Dresses were more comfortable than pants in this heat anyway I grudgingly admitted. I cleaned the glasses again - the world was full of little dirt specs.  It will be so nice to go back to being 20-20 again! I slipped on some sandals - after the tight shoes Mom made me wear all day they were heaven! I checked my makeup - OK. I took a deep breath. It will be good to go back. Get away from mom and get my freedom again. I took one last look in the mirror. Damn, but I was cute! AliceI was idly waiting for George in my body. I must admit I didn't Miss church with Mom. I was looking out the window, I would miss these eyes and to be honest I would miss the freedom of being a male and I would Miss my little spice pot Carmen! I sighed. Sex with her had been fantastic! But it would good to get back home. I was looking forward to college - if only I could get a geology degree instead being a lawyer. Mom would just have to see reason. I wanted my beautiful body back really bad - George was OK in the looks department, but I was beautiful! I hoped he had been bored in my body - I certainly didn't want him getting me in a notorious situation. Not likely - he was too macho to risk anything. The doorbell rang shrilly.  It's the moment of truth.GeorgeThere was no doubt about my apartment hallway smelled . I had not noticed it before. Also I noticed cracks and dirt that I had over looked before - and  this with Alice's eyes! The door opens - it is still a shock to see my old self! Shit! - I forgot how much bigger my body is than the one I'm in."Come on in LITTLE SISTER!" Alice grins at my discomfort."Bite me! " I say pushing my way past Alice. "Let's get it over with!""OK by me!" The papers and candles are all laid out." Anything interesting happen Saturday?"I meet my penetrating stare with all of  Alice's powers of innocence." Pretty boring - how about you - did you see that little hot tamale Carmen?"Alice flushes angrily. " She not a little hot tamale! She a girl from a  good family from Brazil!""I thought you might see her again. Well on to business. Mom tells me that you are promised  $ 5000  when you graduate from High School - why didn't you tell me?""Didn't think it was important!" she says evasively."I see. Well I think we need to renegotiate our contract.""We had a deal!""One based on false information." I tick off points on my slim manicured fingers. "One you're getting  5000 thanks to me - you wouldn't smell a penny of it except for me - nor would you have the scholarship that I am sure Mom has arranged for you to get yourself into college. I want 3000 - I think its only fair. That still leaves you with 4,000.16. ""We had a deal."I get up and smile. "Being you isn't so bad - I can stand it until I get my hands on the five thousand. Then I will take 3,500 - extra time you know being you. I will be at your graduation and all the parties.""You -"She took a step towards me - I edged back from the large threatening male. " You would hardly damage your own body would you?" I ask apprehensively. Boy did Alice look furious and with my body she was at least 3 times as strong as I was in hers. It wasn't fair.She smiled wistfully - "Don't tempt me! " She thinks for a moment. " Twenty five hundred - if you want more we'll see who can hold out the longest - don't forget I have a period coming up next week. As it is you're robbing me."I had forgotten about the period. "OK!" easy money I thought smugly - it worked out to over 800 dollars a day. We get down on the floor.Without thinking I find myself comfortably sitting on my legs. I am reading out the spell - it is twice as long as the other. Alice is drinking beer - the lucky guy. I come to the end.  I close my eyes waiting. Nothing happens."Now what!?" I say."You didn't read it all - honestly George men are so helpless."I don't argue I hope she's right! she does her part again and I do mine Nothing! We look at each other and I see sweat on her forehead."You and your God damn Gypsy spells!" I scream."Calm, calm down " she stutters. She paces back and forth. "We're got to get back to the carnival! Look! There's a page missing from the spell - I just noticed it! Madam Olga was so drunk I bet she forgot to give it to us!""Forgot to give it to us?" I am annoyed to hear my voice screeching. "You and you god damn ideas! Now we're stuck - I'm stuck being a girl!"He grabs me by the arm. "Oh, shut up! Shut up! Just like a woman to go to pieces."Oh, my God I've started to think of Alice as a him and he calls me a woman. Since we didn't switch back - our minds are growing more accustomed to these bodies. I tell Alice my fears, but he makes light of them. We get in his car and Alice drives like a manic to the carnival. Where is Madam Olga?We look desperately around."Oh, look who's over there - bothering some girls?"A odious  looking guy is making a play from some 13 or 14 year old girls and the jerk must be in his twenties. The girls are frightened and looking around for help. Alice walks up behind him and gives the guy my best kidney punch. The jerk goes down with an explosive release of breath. Then he starts throwing up and crying." First a country King Kong and now this! Why me, why me? " He cries."Because you are a major ass hole, "Alice says. The girls fawn all over him and Alice enjoys the hero worship."Come on, BROTHER," I say. "We need to find Madam Olga!" I drag him away from the nymphets. "Oh, sure - right!" Our feet scuff up on the sawdust and straw underfoot. We come to an empty spot. Laying on the ground is a sign.MADAM OGLA - SEES ALL, KNOWS ALL! But no tent - no Madam Olga!!! We stare at each other in mutual horror. We've got to find her or will be stuck like this the rest of our lives!Part 2GEORGEI feel like scratching Alice's eyes out! I am furious. I don't want to be stuck like this forever!. I rant and rave at him. "Its all your fuckin fault!" I beat at his strong chest futilely, sobbing the whole time.ALICEShit! George is really hysterical. "Calm, down will you - we'll find her! We need to calm down. There's got to be someone in the circus who knows where she is." George doesn't listen and just keeps screaming at me. I hate to do this - no that is a lie - I am going love doing this. I slap George hard right in the kisser! Glasses fly off and that stops the hysterics! Its great! I've wanted to do that for years! Its a shame, though, I had to hit what had been my own face. I say "Calm down! - you being a hysterical girl won't get us back our bodies or find the gypsy!"George is sobbing and looking at me liked I am a professional baby poisoner. It doesn't affect me - I perfected that look ten years ago and am immune. "How dare you! How dare you! First you steal my body and then you hit me - you big bully! I'm going to tell Mom!""What are you going to tell her - ALICE?"This brings her up short. George kicks me sharply in the shins and it hurts her more than me - the silly chic forgot she was fearing sandals! She rubs her toes and glares at me. "You hurt me again, you brute."I grab her by the arm." Let's go ask around, Sister dear.""Damn! Why can't I be myself again and be big enough to kick your ass?" George asks wistfully.I ignore her. Unfortunately that also what happens to us. It seems that carnie people don't tell outsiders anything about each other.  A rumor we get from temporary help is that Madam Olga may have been arrested by the police for dispensing illegal drugs or fortune telling or something - .Its not much but its better than nothing. George starts crying again."I don't want to be a girl!"Guilty I pat his hand. Its my fault I guess and I also feel guilty that I am not more upset. I think about the freedom I have now. That I don't have to live with mom and then I think of my beautiful Carmen and my body gets on fire. I wouldn't have thought this when we first switched but if we never went back it wouldn't be that bad - I could live with it. I would still rather be me on balance because George has the most god awful rep and my own body is so fuckin' beautiful.  Poor George though seems to be really hurting. It doesn't help that George is probably going through PMS right about now. I won't mention that - she's freaked out enough right now anyway.I pat her little hand. "Look. We'll find her. Tell you what I'll drive you to school Monday - you only have a half of day - rehearsals and other minor stuff for pre-graduation. I'll pick you up - well have lunch (On second thought I would rather have lunch with Carmen) - no I'll pick you after lunch and well go to the police station. (On third thought I rather spend the day fucking Carmen than spending time with my sister - I mean Brother of course) No, we better split up -  you better go to the police station and I'll go back to the Carnival - give me some money and tomorrow morning I will try and bribe somebody."She sniffs - "You'll probably just buy beer with it!""Just because I have your body, doesn't mean I have your disgusting tastes!" I say kindly.George shakes her pretty head wearily. "OK. I guess I don't have any choice. I'll write you a check for 100.""Better make it two hundred.""No way Jose! Now do you want the hundred or not?""Of course I want the hundred."George takes the check book out her purse and with my hand writing makes me out a check. I snatch it."Hey aren't you even going to thank me?""Why should I - its my hard earned money! Come on we'd better get back before mom becomes suspicious."GEORGEAlice grabs me roughly by the arm. I squeal "not so hard!" He doesn't know my strength yet. I study him. I hope he keeps his promise and looks for gypsy tomorrow. I have a funny feeling he is planning on a hot time with that hot Latin Carmen. Well I don't have much of a choice. I will do anything to get rid of this stupid body. The thought of living with Mom fills me with terror too great for the tongue to tell. My God am I bone weary. I am mentally and physical exhausted. The day with relatives from hell has done me in as well as the disappointment of not getting my own body back. Alice barely stops to let me out - the shit. With a shudder and a lurch and a smoke screen my own junker disappears. Like my body it is under my sister's control and not a hell of a lot I can do about it. Mom hugs me when I come in" I can tell from your face that you had a bad time with your worthless brother! Come let mommie rub your forehead and chase all your troubles away - just like I did when you were my little girl!"Gag me, Mom I think but I of course say my thank you.So I laid with my head in her lap while she smoothing puts her cool fingers on my forehead and strokes my long golden hair. I must admit it feels good. I am almost dozing when she tell me that I better shower before I  fall asleep. I slip off my dress. My toes where that brute Alice hurt them still throb - next time I kick the bully I will be wearing steel toed shoes I vow. I slip off my dress and panties. I must admit the hot water feels great. I fall asleep the minute my head hits the pillow. I toss and turn. I have a bad dream. I am wearing a fancy pink dress - it looks too cute for words. I am a bridesmaid in a wedding. It is Carmen's wedding and Alice is marrying her in my bod. When the words come do any of you have just cause to - I speak up - I mean to say - 'stop! that's Alice in my body!' but what comes out instead is 'Put phasers on stun!' I wake up - not what the hell did that mean? I am still tired, but thirsty too. I get up use the bathroom and get a drink of water - it is 3 AM. I will never get back to sleep I think mournfully. When ever I wake up in the middle of the night - I can't go back to sleep for anything. The next thing I know the radio alarm goes off and its the spice girls. I slam my hand down on it and reluctantly stagger out of bed. Another day at Alice's school - half day anyway. Rehearsal for graduation. I grovel before Mom and she lets me have the car, but I have to drive her in and then pick her up from work. To bad I can't drop her off a bridge! I think as she once again goes into a diatribe against' George'. If I didn't exist she would have to create me - so she could have something to bitch about! But I smile sweetly. Sometimes I think I should have this sweet smile tattooed on my - I mean Alice's face to save me the effort. Once again I go through the chore of getting dressed. All my front closure bras are in the wash. I bitch about it, but I am told that I forgot to do the laundry this weekend, but I can do it when I get home. Oh my god - Bite me - I have to do the laundry, too! So I lock the door to make sure Mom doesn't see my epic struggle to put on a bra. I am not sure whether I am grateful or worried that its getting easier, though still a major pain. I have only one uniform left. I took in the mirror and Alice stares back at me. I look her over carefully. Is this going to be the face I see for the rest of my life? I shudder. "ALICE!" calls the super lawyer."Coming!" I dash down the stairs three at a time.Mom drives to the high-rise where her  office is located - big buck address of course. "I trust you with the car, Alice darling but you have to promise not to let George touch it.I keep my smile - "Don't worry about that! After what that jerk has done to me - I wont be handing him any cars!"My mother looks surprise " But I thought he helped you with History?""Yes, but he was a big bully to me and drinking  and rude Sunday " I reply without thinking. Shit! I have just blackened my own rep some more,Mom nods grimly - " He gets more and more every day like his father!"It nice to be behind he wheel of a good car. Mom - has an Avallon and driving it seems like its floating on air. My junker finds pot holes where there are no pot holes. I almost 'accidentally' run Nancy down in the parking lot and she gives me the finger. My glasses slide off - damn the things to hell! Mr. Krueger and the Principle met in me the door - oh, no - what can be wrong now? Mr Kreuger beams while the Principle Mr. Simple says " Congratulations, Alice! With your A in Mr. Krueger's history class and your outstanding in Ms. Fran's class  we've decided you will deliver to key note address for your class in graduation Wednesday !""What an honor! " I say with believable enthusiasm. My sister really rolls in it - now she will be fawned over by one and all. I can't let myself believe that I still be in this body on Wednesday. We have a couple of meetings of the senior class in which I am wise enough to keep my mouth shut. During graduation rehearsals I feel seized by a sudden cramp. Now what! I wonder. I moan a little. Nancy who is hanging around sneers - 'looks like somebody is going to have their period - that is unless you're pregnant!" her laugh is like ice down the spine. I step on her toes on the way to the bathroom and she curses me - a teacher hears her language and she is taken up before the principle. God damn it I am bleeding! I am going to die I think - Alice has tricked me and  left me to die in her place! Then I realize its just - JUST - Alice's period starting! Starting hell - gushing! - My skirt is positively ruined. I remember vaguely she warned me that it might start this week. I search my hand bag - dreading the thoughts of pads and tampons but dreading that they might not be there any more. Damn Alice to hell anyway - nothing in her purse! Well I shouldn't say that - there is enough in the damn thing to outfit a army, but no tampons. Carmen comes in and starts combing her long beautiful black hair. I feel a pang of envy I wish my hair was as thick and luxuriant as hers I feel positively bald next to her. "Carmen?" She starts guiltily." Do have any spare tampons or pads- I forgot mine with all the excitement.""Of course, Alice. Here you go!""Thanks! Still seeing George?""What if I am?" she asked challengingly."Nothing, but he isn't much of a catch.""You American woman don't know what a catch is - you don't know a real man when you see one. George is a real man!"I laugh hysterically! And offended she leaves.I read the directions and go into a stall. Talk about discomfort and humiliation. Before this I would have just been satisfied with strangling Alice slowly - now I think the rack would be more suitable. I feel like I am constipated in away. From the flow I know I will need some more soon. I go my locker and find spare clothes. Ruefully I looked at the ruined skirt and console myself thinking I won't need it in a few days anyway as I won't be going back to this funkin' school. On the way to the police station I stop at a drug store and buy a box of super absorbent. I use a dirty public restroom at a gas station and feel really unclean. I am almost in tears when I confront  the desk Sergeant."Look1 I don't have time! "- then his Tone changes when he gets a good look at me. The jerk looks me up and down and I feel like I don't have any clothes on. "Sweet cakes - I will check for you. " About ten nail biting minutes later he comes back. "Sorry I have nothing no a Madman Olga, but we did make a few arrests down at the carnival - let me do some more digging. - Come back in a couple of hours, you lovely lady you!"I smile sweetly at him. I guess there is some advantage to being a beautiful girl after all - If I would have been George he would have thrown me out into the middle of the street and whistled to a cop car to run me over. George - I mean Alice is going to have to come with me - I am not facing this wolf alone.I drive home and start a load of laundry - making sure I have some clean front fastening bras. For once I play it smart and read the directions on the clothes. I go up into the computer room which mom keeps at 60 - I shiver and go back and get a sweater. I start searching the inter net. A search on  Madam Olga gets me only info on perfume. A search on body exchange - man/woman yields only some weird pages. One called FictionMania has the most god awful drivel on it - men and woman switching bodies - men becoming woman - the worse part are the stories written by Eric and Raven - those two guys really need some 'HELP' . This isn't getting me any where.I look at my slim, expensive watch. Maybe I should pawn it I think absently. Time to get 'George' over to the police station He sounds funny on the phone and doesn't want to come, but when I threaten to come over with Mom's 357 he sees reason and agrees to go with me. The emegency outfit I have on looks really grunge so I change my clothes and cram extra tampons into a big purse and pick him up - I don't get to go upstairs and I see Carmen's T-Bird on the  apartment building lot. Son-of-a-bitch! I think indignity - here I am, with a period and everything trying to find a way of getting us back and all he does is tom cat around! I am furious and really light into to him."Look, Sis if you don't put a sock in it I will put you across my knee and give you the spanking you're asking for!" he glares at me and I glare right back all the way to the station. The desk sergeant looks very disappointed when I come in with a man. I - without a show of pride introduce " This is my brother George."He grunts. "Well the weirdest thing. The Mayor and his wife wanted her arrested - yes his honor himself can you believe it! They came in the four of them Saturday the mayor his secretary -secretary my ass - I recognized her as a hooker we had busted on a dozen occasions, the Mayor's prim wife - and she was smoking a cigar and her huge burly body guard was trying to take it out of her mouth! Now you wont believe it, but I overhear them screaming in a ready room when they thought no one was listening - that the Madam Olga's return spell didn't work and the Mayor is stuck as his secretary and his wife says something about really being her body guard - isn't that the dumbest thing you ever heard!?" He laughs heartily I could poison both him and Alice who is laughing so hard he has to whip out a handkerchief to dry his tears.I grit my pearly teeth." So what happened? ""It gets even funnier. When we go to arrest her - she's gone. We grab her junk but no old gypsy - when we get back the Mayor is smiling a funny little smile and tells us to forget the whole thing he's changed his mind - and to cancel the arrest order and stop looking for her. The hooker-secretary starts screaming and the mayor orders her arrested and so we throw her in the  tank. The Mayor and his wife go back to the mansion arm and arm. (Again the ass hole George made use of his handkerchief to mop up tears of laughter). The body guard bails out the hooker - God she still has some nice tits and ass! -Even if she is getting past her first youth and she cries and falls on the burly body guards shoulders and swears never to be unfaithful again - can you believe it and they go off arm and arm with the hooker complaining about her five inch heels."Alice laughs so hard he falls off the chair. " This is priceless!" he cries.I had a funny feeling he would be an ass hole again. This time no sandals - I was prepared. I kick him and I am wearing Alice's pointed toed  cowboy boots. "You bitch!" he says rubbing his ankle!"SO sorry, I didn't see you laughing like a hyena on the floor - I  was just crossing my legs!" I say sweetly."Hey, buddy! You watch what you say to your sweet Sister!" he says to 'George'."Where are the gypsies things?" I asked - they had to have a way back."In the police evidence warehouse of course.""Can we see them?""Sorry Miss - it will be months before they are released to the public - and that's only if she doesn't come back to claim them.""Thanks Sergeant O'Reilly you've been a big help!" I coo and pat his cheek and the middle aged man melts before my eyes. I glance triumphantly at Alice who gives me the finger. "Time to pick up my mother from work:" I say getting gracefully to my feet. Alice follows me out, but pulls on a locked car door.  I start the engine. " Hey what about me!"I smile at him " Laugh your way home you jerk!" And peel away - leaving him cursing behind me. Now its my turn to  laugh. I barely make it to Mom's law office in time.  She comes out with a triumphant smile and I know she had won again. I wonder who was done in this time. She looks at my boots oddly."Why cowboy boots in this weather?"I smile and say " Oh, I went over and gave George a wake up and smell the coffee kick."She laughed. "Good for you!. Any other news?"I grimace.  Alice's stock is going through the roof with this one." I have been asked to make the keynote speech at my graduation. ""Darling, that's wonderful!" She makes me stop the car and gives me a hug and kiss. "Let's go home and get changed. I am taking you to the country club for dinner to celebrate."I was torn between annoyance and pleasure. Once I had asked Mom to take me to  her country club (I was hoping to make some easy money there) and she looked at me and laughed and said 'You!?" and I dropped the subject. So Mom and I got all dolled up then - she said I also did a good job on the laundry - she pressed my evening gown from Saturday night.  She leant me some diamond ears rings and pearl necklace. The necklace was easy, but the ear rings were a bitch to put in. I thought I was going to tear my ear lobe off! She also told me that she was proud of me -I had made a tremendous impression on Mr. and Mrs. Jones - and especially Howard - Mom looked sideways at me and smiled to see me flush to the roots of my blond hair. "He seems like an exceptional young man."Still flushing I agreed. I still think she tipped off the Jones because we 'accidentally' ran into them at the club. I couldn't meet Howard's eyes and he gazed so passionately at me, but I found myself holding his hand. Shit don't tell me I was going native again!At first all he talk of the club was in the disgraceful way the Mayor had behaved with that Hooker - making her his 'secretary'. They all thanked god for his lady like wife. I for once kept my mouth shut about my visit to the station - There's was no way I could explain that! I had to go to the lady's room with my mother and Mrs. Jones. Talk about being uncomfortable - mom didn't even want me to shut the stall door. As if! Then as we were  fixing our make up (In my opinion Mom's and Mrs. Jones's make up was not flattering on them) Then they are soon talking about how the hooker had at one time claimed to be the mayor, but now she said she did it only because he dumped her, but now she had found a new man and was trying to make a go of it with the Mayor's wife's body guard. She had said this when the Mayor had threaten to have her committed. These country club ladies were enjoying the scandal and soon  all the woman pitched in. I must admit I thought it fascinating - so the gypsy had fucked up more than Alice and me. What an idiot! And Alice had trusted her with a body switching spell!Back at the table  The Jones flooded me with compliments until I felt I would need hip boats to get through all the bullshit. Why didn't anyone ever compliment me like this when I was George - all this was wasted on Alice! All through I must admit I kinda liked it. Half way through a average dinner - I could cook better than this - the band started playing. Mr. Jones asked my mother to dance and Howard asked me. I was panic stricken. I didn't know how to dance as a woman! Especially in the once inch heeled pumps Mom made me wear. I tried to say no, but Howard wouldn't take no for an answer. So I got up and he put his arms around me - as luck would have it - in this fossilize center of decaying wealth they stilled played waltzes. The lilting music was suddenly in my blood. I found myself smiling up at him - in a flash of telepathy we both remember the close call at his folks house and grin at each other. Without quite knowing how it happens I invited him to my graduation. I flattered that he is eager to come. Boy I am light on my feet. This body seems to know how to dance. We whirl around the floor. It belatedly dawns on me that both Alice and I have moved like each other from the beginning - muscle memory or something. My body grows warm where he touches me.  I smile when he tells me how beautiful I am. I really enjoy the dance and the rest of the evening. The way home I wonder morosely if he will  notice the difference between me and Alice when we got back out regular bodies - a large part of me hoped  Also he is so damn funny, once when we were alone at the table he whispers to me:"Alice, Tell me when muggers meet your mother are they so frightened they hand her their money?"I laugh and choke on my coke.( yes, that's what 17 year girls get to drink when out with their mothers) But Howard sure has sized her up in a hurry! Mom is a tough cookie I think with pride.On the drive home mom breaks into my reverie. "You really like him don't you, Alice?""Yes, Mom" I answer honestly. She's much to sharp too fool on something like this."Well you're both too young for anything serious, but I have no objection to you dating. I just hope he doesn't meet George - your brother might well ruin it for you." "He just might!" I say. "He just might." But up yours mother! 'George' might ruin it in another way than she meant. I feel like kicking mom and I regret the loss of the boots. I am so sick of her putting George down. Thank god Alice has to live with her - not me! I am worried only two days to graduation. I get the location of the police storage building for seized property from Mom. When asks why I wanted it I explain that I promise George I would ask her where it was.She snorts with derision. " I wonder what crazy scheme for easy money he has in mind now? That easy money obsession of his will bring that boy to grief one day!"It already has, mom, it already has! I think ruefully - staring down at my perky breasts and lovely evening gown, peaking out below the lovely gown are two small slim  ankles and feet wearing panty hose that now belong to me. I wiggle them - they're tried.Then mom drops the bomb on my head. I listen in horror. "But mom its not necessary!" I  say with clenched teeth.She looks at me in surprise." But Alice dear - you always liked the beauty parlor. It only natural you would go in for the works before graduation!"I smile and say sweetly ( gag me) that I didn't want to put her to any more expense - she been too good to me already.She pats my slim little hand and says fondly. "You're just a thoughtful child Alice - so unlike your brother! But it will give me pleasure to see my lovely little girl looking so pretty on her graduation day!" She shuddered "I will never forget your worthless brother graduation.  George didn't even shave or comb his hair that day. Remember? Also, he offered the Principle a beer when he got his diploma."I smile with fond remembrance. Ah, those were the good old days. I had really enjoyed embarrassing Mom! When we get home I call 'George' We arrange to meet  early in the morning at the Police storage area. He wants to know why not later."Because you SONOFABITCH! I have to go to the beauty parlor instead of you tomorrow!" He roars with laughter "That's great - I am sure you will enjoy yourself, you sweet thing you!""Yep its almost as much fun as me having your period! It is the most God awful, yucky gross thing I have gone through! Shit! There goes another cramp!"I thought the man on the other end was going to break my ear drum this time as he laughed so loud. Before I slam down the phone - how insensitive can you get? I think. I hear a Latin voice in the back ground. With so much going on how can he fool around? Just like a man to think with his peter!ALICE"What's going on, my lover?" asked my lovely Carmen."Its just my nutty sister Alice - she's having her period and mom's driving her nuts.""Your sister is very bright, but sometimes I think she puts too much pressure on herself because of your mother."I lay back and feel her warm, sexy body snuggle up to mine. Then she giggles and gets up and comes back with my scissors. "If she bothers you too much tell me and I will cut off that long blond hair she be so proud of - thinking it better than my black."Her eyes sparkle with Mischief - "Or my love shall I cut yours while you sleep? I will be Delilah and you will be my Samson - that way I will capture you and make you mine!"She screeched with mock alarm when I made a grab at her. "No, No  do not take me in your arms and carrying me back to your bed and force me into wild and crazy sex!" she said suggestively.I'll tell you this was going to be hard to give up, I think as I sweep the laughing Carmen up in my strong arms and carry back to bed. All this freedom and strength and sex is intoxicating!I wake up and groan early the next morning.  Time to meet George. God it is so funny thinking that she is having my period now! I hope its a heavy one! Sis is there waiting impatiently. She's got Mom's car.  George drags me into the shadows and we sit down."You're late!" she bitches."Never mind that! How did you get the car again?""It's that Fuckin' beauty parlor appointment after school! Mom doesn't want me to get my lovely hair messed up driving home on my bike. She's taking a Taxi in and I will pick her up."I look at her flushed face and behind those ugly glasses the frightened eyes and I feel a little sorry for her. "OK what do we do?""Find a place to break in, of course!"GEORGE.Honestly men are so helpless! I practically drag him by the hand to the window I found early.  We bend down a suddenly wind whips my fine long hair around and into my face. I impatiently push it away and smooth it out. He looks at the window carefully. "It figures. The police don't feel they need alarms." He tries it and laughs  "Also its unlocked! What a bunch of Maroons!"My heart is beating a mile a minute and my breasts are shaking and heaving. I had sneaked out without a bra. Its just a little before dawn. I wipe my sweating palms on my short dress. It was a lot easier to deal with a heavy period like mine wearing a comfortable dress rather than tight jeans. George - I mean - Alice went first. Why did I call him George I wonder than push the thought away. He looks around and nods and I clamber down - his strong hands grip mine and I am safely on the floor. I look around - bikes, and  tires and desks - everything imaginable was cluttered everywhere. "Where do we look?" he whispered."Start with files!" I am reminded of the Indian Jones Movie where the Arc of the convent I think it is - is put into 'secret storage' along with a billion other packages - safer from discovery than in the sands of Egypt. We make our way with difficulty through the dark and clutter.I find the filing cabinets. Long ago dad told me how to open locks - he thought it might come in handy in the pursuit of easy money. So I open them up with the tool from my purse. I start desperately going though them looking for clues about Madam Olga and the Carnival.Nothing, absolutely nothing! I start to cry. He puts his arms around me. It feels good. "We'll keep looking - maybe its in one of these boxes?" he says.We find a Box mark Madam Olga! With my throat suddenly dry we open it. - A crystal ball and faded table cloth still smelling of incense and cigars. Some Jacqueline Suzanne paper backs, a box of cheap cigars (too foul for even the police to steal, I think.) Some press clippings about A Madam Olga - they date back to the 1904 world's fair in St. Louis! Alice and I stare at each other. Shit my glasses slid off my nose again and I shove them back impatiently. A book the Golden Bow.  Some potions - most of the labeled wart remover - Madam Olga's Secret recipe! Potions labeled hair growers. I hand it to Alice. "You made need this!""That's funny, but I forgot to laugh!"We go back to our search. At the bottom is a folder labeled spells. I squeal with delight. He puts his large dirty hand over my mouth. "Be quite you air head!"I glare at him - wasted of course on the insensitive clod. With trembling fingers I open it. We leave through these spells - no body switching ones! The only ones left are for making hair grow  and for giving your enemies nose hair and  flat feet!"I sat back against the file cabinets and start to blubber."Sorry, George she must have gotten away with the good stuff. But will find her.""How?" I continue crying, I take off my glasses and wipe the tears and try to stop." You said yourself the Carnival people would tell you nothing!""Hey we advertised in the papers around the country for Madam Olga - you send out E-mails on the Internet. We'll find her."I touch his strong hand." You really think so, George? OOPS! I'm sorry Alice. I don't know what made me do that!"ALICE"Its OK - It only natural - I think we better start calling ourselves by each others name - to avoid embarrassing moments - Alice."She giggles - "OK George." Suddenly we hear a door being opened. Damn! the police are here! I hear a sleepy voice call out - "Joe, you can't mean to tell me you only bought 2 dozen donuts!"I mouth 'we got to get out of here!' The beautiful girl looks at me with frightened blue eyes behind those ugly glasses and nods. She takes my hand for comfort. Bent double we edge out way towards the open window. "Hey, Joe - who the Fuck left that Window in the back open?" Large flat feet lumber towards it. We run quietly bent double to the opening. Shit he gets there first. Now what are we going to do? He shuts and locks it.' Got it, Harry - do you think we should search the building?"A groan." I suppose we better if  there's a burglar here and he got away the press would never let us live it down. ""Lets have a donut first, Harry.""OK Joe!"We stare at each other - it was a fuckin' nightmare! Alice - I mean George no I guess I mean Alice puts a finger to her lips and creeps forward. She waits until the guys have left their desk then darts forward and puts some stuff in their coffee. Meanwhile I find us a hiding place behind a seized porno display picture of a man and woman doing naughty things. I "Mouth what did  you do?" Her blue eyes sparkle. And she mouthed back. "Sleeping tablets in the coffee I brought some just in case."I hug her soft body. Good work, Alice!" She flushes with pleasure.The cops say - "Hey our coffee's getting cold - we'll look some more later. The sit heavily down and sip away - soon they are cutting Zzzzzs. We grin at each other and creep out the front doorGEORGE.I was so glad to have brought some of Mom's pills. I could to believe what my idiot brother wanted to do. He wanted to take some lilies back in and place them in their sleeping hands. Men can be so stupid sometimes. "We'll keep the deception right!?""Right!" he answers - "you go ahead and graduate for me - and don't do anything stupid like hand the Principle a beer!"I giggle - "That was funny! Don't worry - I will keep you image of a goody-two-shoes intact - I don't want to jeopardize my 5,000 dollars.""Your five thousand!?" he exploded.I smile - "I think I've earned it all - don't you? But I'll tell you what - I'll let you have a thousand of it!""Why you greedy bitch!"I smile sweetly. "Mom would be mad if she heard you talk to me that way.""I want to ring your neck! God what I wouldn't give to twist it off!" Alice said wistfully.I start the mock tears "Oh George how can you talk to me - your sweet little sister - like this? I am terribly, terribly hurt!"ALICEI got out of there before I murdered George. His making fun of me was worse than the way he kept stealing my money. I wasn't like that! I just know I wasn't! Well - we'll see who comes out on top. We'll see!Carmen was waiting for me "I will be going back to Brazil Wednesday evening. My father he is coming  in for my graduation."The thought of losing her was like lead in my belly. "The way you talk you are knowledgeable in geology as your brilliant sister, no!"I had to smile it was nice to hear myself called brilliant. I nodded - "Yes everything she knows - I know."She touched my hand and her hand was like fire. "I do not understand why a man like you handsome, smart, from a good family - who is the best lover any woman could have - no one has ever given me pleasure like you, you who understand the female body and soul like you - chooses to live like this?"Alice looked around at George's hovel. "It is a rebellion against my mother - she always wants me to do what she wants rather than what I want. ' The more I thought about it the more true it was. "What do you wish to do, my love?""Be a geologist - go out in the wild parts of the world and make a discovery - make people respect me - AND make enough money that I would not have to be a lawyer like my mother!"She nodded her lovely head. God! her hair was so beautiful - how could her small head have so much thick, lush hair. I stoked it and she purred. "Tonight you must meet with my father!" she commanded.I was a little worried - I wasn't sure how Latins would react to our affair - would I be challenged to a duel? God what have I gotten myself into to - thinking with my peter!Then she smiled and took me by the hand and led me bed wards. Damn  she just couldn't get enough. Her mouth was hungry on mine as she slid out of her negligee. Then she was in my arms again!GEORGEI wrinkled my nose when I went into the gleaming beauty parlor. It reminded me of a mad scientist's lab in a horror movie. Three  hours later I was wondering why woman voluntarily put themselves through such torture. I feel like the facial had taken off every atom of my sensitive skin. Then they put a mud pack on. I thought they were going to bury me alive the way they troweled it on. Then I had my long hair washed and styled. That actually wasn't too bad. The head message felt good. I fought the good fight  and kept them from curling my golden locks. That's all that I would need to have to fuss with Hair for a half an hour everyday! When  I was guy I often wondered about manicures, pedicures, getting your nails - done, bluffed polished. I always figured that since almost  all women do it must be pleasure filled - wrong! It hurts! There I was finally with nails done - waiting from them to dry with cotton wedged between my toes. It really sucks. But I do not dare do anything too different from Alice (god rot her bones - shit I hope he didn't hear me - just kidding - I am using those bones right now  as well as the rest of her.) The body massage feels good though - very relaxing. When I get home mom beams at me like a proud mother. I feel it coming - "You're so beautiful Alice - at least I can be proud of one of my children!"I dash up stairs and read what the former Alice had written in the way of a speech for her class. What a bunch of twaddle. I am very tempted to jazz it up a little, but pull my self back and just put a in a few nice touches and tightened it up - Alice is a good writer, but too wordy. I groan - time to change the tampon. Major Gross out. Alice doesn't have enough money to pay me for all I am going through. It is really disgusting! Well its finally done. I call Alice up to bitch about it, but there's no answer. Probably he is out drinking beer with my friends - celebrating because I'm having the period - I will have to walk down the isle in a skirt and cap and gown - I am the one who has to make a ridiculous speech. What did I ever do to deserve this!? The next morning things are little better - the flow has slowed and I have no cramping. I take a shower - I know I took a bath last night, but since I've been in Alice's body I love to clean myself. I don't know if it's because I have inherited her obsessive desire for neatness or whether it because I love to soap and to caress this wonderful silken body. This part of being Alice I am going to miss!  I know there's no getting away without a bra today. Its getting easier to put them on, practice is making prefect. Might as well go all out - I put on a really sexy pair of panties! I look in the mirror and smile with satisfaction I would love to go and get my diploma wearing nothing but this! That would rally be something, but its just a silly dream. I put on the rest the outfit Alice told me was for the occasion. The blue silk dress looked great on me. I ruin two pair of  panty hose trying to get them on.  I hate panty hose! Just let me get my hands on that five grand and Mom won't find her daughter so agreeable. Mom wants me to wear heels, but I got out of that neatly by saying  'what if I trip - I would just die of embarrassment. I wonder how Alice is going to feel watching me in her body getting her diploma? I am excited despite myself. My mother tells me the five thousand is burning a hole in her pocket. Well it won't burn a hole in mine! We kiss each other goodbye. Howard has been nice enough to offer me a ride. I must admit I enjoy his admiring looks as he open the car door for me. It seems only natural to kiss.ALICEI stare at the telephone. This isn't getting it done. Like most of us I can resist anything, so long as its something I don't want! Just do it I tell myself! I call home. Mom answers."What do you want George, is it to spoil your sister's graduation day? Perhaps you would like to burn down the house?"GEORGEI see Nancy Richards and she glares at me. I smile sweetly back. What a bitch. I feel like going up to her and boyfriend who she is guarding, to undulate over and stir the pot, but I don't. I have enough problems. I might be stuck as Alice for many days now. I get cold chills - maybe for weeks! All the girls are so excited and jabbering away about their dresses, about parties to come, about boyfriends past present and future. The boys are huddled protectively together trying to stay out of this feminine maelstrom of emotion. They are very careful to only talk sports. A few guys hit on me later but I brush them off. They seem so pimple ridden and callow after Howard. I look fucking ridiculous in the white gown and hat from the very distant past. I blow the tassel out of my eyes. Damn! My glasses are dirty again. The music starts and we file out to POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE. I sit down and as luck would have it its next to Nancy. She smiles and shows her legs - always half the battle for any female. She says to me so very sweetly. "You can fool the rest of the world, but you can't fool me, Alice Reynolds, I know you for what you are!""And what is that, oh ugly one?"Again she looks at me like reading my name on a head stone would be the greatest sight in the world - easily beating the Grand canyon. "Like lying and cheating you snotty nose  four eyed bitch! I will get you if its the last thing I do!" she looks away smiling with dreams or bloody revenge.Shit! If I don't have enough problem I have acquired a life long enemy. No, Alice has got Nancy - I will be out of this peach skin shortly! This is ridiculous."Look1 This is ridiculous. We used to be friends once. I am sorry I made a play for boyfriend. You won. You beat me. Now, I have a steady boyfriend of my own.""You do? Who?" curiosity overcame antagonism."Howard Jones!""Wow! He a college junior!" Then she frowns remembering she's mad at me.Impulsively I put out my hand."Nancy, it was all my fault. Forgive me. We're graduating today - time for new starts we're both just going to make trouble for ourselves if we continue to feud. "I can see her thinking how much trouble she got herself into by claiming I was cheating.. Then she starts crying overcome by the emotion of the moment. "Gosh Alice I never thought I would ever hear you admit you were at fault for anything! Its the main reason I -" We hug each other.That sure sounded like Alice all right and mom too - never admit you're wrong or take the blame for anything!I am thinking about the women in my life when Nancy touches me. "Wake up dream girl - they're calling you for your speech. "Flustered I rise and nervously smooth out my gown and my dress. I got through with my speech and at least they didn't rush the podium and tar and feather me.Later, I introduce Nancy and her boyfriend Bob to Howard and we all make plans to do something together Sunday - Howard offers to take us out on his father's boat on the lake. Nancy and Bob are excited and eagerly accept. I wonder if it will be me or Alice that goes on the date. If it is Alice I will have to threaten her to make sure she is nice to my friend Nancy! Mom comes up with a strange smile. She hugs me and congratulates me and says she'll see me at home after the party. The four of us end up going together and have a great time. I look for Carman, but don't see her. I wonder if she and my brother are off some where having their own party! Howard and I manage to steal away and have a few kisses and snuggles. This body is so sensuous. I feel all a glow. Howard is kind of hinting around for more, but backs off in hurry when I tell him its my period. Men are so squeamish! Mom has told me to be home by nine. We have our own little party so I reluctantly say goodbye to everyone and Nancy I have a tearful parting. When Howard drops me off and give him a real kiss goodbye - I don't want him wondering off on me. I walk in with a big smile on my face. My mother looks likeArnold in the Terminator all of a sudden. "Sit down Alice - or should I say GEORGE!"Stunned I flush and collapses into a chair. OH SHIT! " You know then?" I ask weakly.She nods her head grimly. "Alice has told me the whole sordid story. About how when she went to you for help on her history weeks ago - you took her money, but put off tutoring her until it was too late and then came up with this crazy scheme of switching bodies - how she didn't want to do it, but you forced it on her by saying that I would be so hurt if she didn't graduate - how you found the evil old Madam Ogla the gypsy and used Alice's money to buy the spell and then wanted Alice's five thousand dollars and how the spell didn't work for the switch back- yes I know all.!"My mouth dropped! Damn Alice -"why that lying little bitch!" I say. Mom stalked across the room and slapped me as hard as she could across the face. My head whipped around and I saw stars."How could you do something so stupid and wicked, George?  How could you!? At first when Alice came to me I thought it was you playing a practical joke in your usual poor taste, but she convinced me with things that only Alice could know and then I thought about how different 'Alice' had been over the last week and how 'she' did so well in history and on the ball field how 'she' talked with her mouth full - her sudden interest in cooking." Mom shook  me until my teeth rattled"But Mom it was Alice's idea, she's the one  -"She slapped me again! "How can you lie about your poor blameless sister like this at this late stage! George, who do you think I am going to believe my worthless never-do-well son who would rather lie than tell the truth or my little girl who has always been honest with her mother? And do you really think that I believe that Alice would be so foolish as to risk being suck in your miserable existence and your worthless sex  if you hadn't practically forced her into it! "I am going to kill Alice! I decide. I am going to kill her slowly. After all the other stuff over the years she as stuck the blame on me this is the limit. Mentally I start pricing skinning knives. "We talked a long time.( I just bet you did!) and this is what we decided. It would be useless for her to go on to college in your miserable body -as when you switched back you would have the credits not her. So Alice is going off to Brazil with Carmen's father Senor Gonzales, he has many interests down there. (Brazil, Alice gets to go to Brazil and with Carmen!) So I have given Alice Twenty thousand dollars to buy into one of his businesses down there.""You didn't give me spit!""Be quite George! I didn't give you any money because you don't know how to handle it! Alice does. She's like me."I start crying. "What about the five thousand?""Oh, stop your stupid blubbering. Here's the deal - you are legally under age and under my control - I hope you realize this ALICE! So I am going to put you in a secretarial school."  Things keep getting worse and worse - a secretarial School?" I asked in a weak voice."Yes, and don't interrupt again - ALICE! Then you will come and work for my firm as a para-legal -I will keep an I on you - Now you can't bully me because your a man and bigger than I am. You will learn discipline. At last I have the chance to turn you into a decent person and not a worthless peace of shit like your father. If you behave yourself at the end of the year I will give you 20,000 - I hope you will go on to college, but what you use the money for will be up to you. I will also use the firms resources to search for Madam Olga and the spell to switch you back. But you have to stay Alice for a year. Work hard, behave yourself. Otherwise you will never change back. I will not let you know when we find the missing spell. Neither you or GEORGE have a prayer of finding her on her own. Am I making myself clear - ALICE?"I nod crying. She softens a little - "There, there Alice dear, cry it out - go take a shower and just cry - you'll feel better then and realize it will be for the best. Mother does know best sweetie - you'll see."I do not trust my self to speak1 My head is in my hands and like a little child she has to lead me upstairs to my room. She helps me undress. I am so afraid I am stuck like this forever - Alice the bastard must be in love with Carmen. He has stolen not only my body but my dream. He is off to Brazil with 20,000, with a chance of  making easy money! Finally I get into the shower and keep the water as hot as I can stand. I wonder who's putting out more water - me or the shower. And my tampon needs changing, too! I cry until even this body has no more tears. Finally I get out of the bathroom. I put on my prettiest night gown -to help me feel better. I am emotionally just exhausted. My soft, clean bed beckons me. My last thoughts before drifting off until a troubled sleep was that I hoped Alice would catch some painful and humiliating disease. I wake up feeling better. That was the strangest dream I had. It was weird beyond belief. I dreamed that I had exchanged bodies with my sister and mom found out about it  How silly can dreams get. I stretch and I feel my breasts move. It wasn't a dream. Neither is changing my tampon. I throw on a satin robe and I go down stairs.  Mom calls down after me."Alice dear, would you mind making me breakfast? I am running late. " While she is eating she says" Alice dear, would you  mind doing the laundry today  any don't forget it had better be done right!" she gives me her best steely smile. She's really got me by the balls - only right now I don't have any balls - Alice the little fink has them in Brazil!."No, mother" I say hopelessly. Mother's got me where's she's always wanted me - under her control. I need to get my body back. She smiles and with unbecoming triumphant kisses me and heads out - leaving me stuck in Alice's body and life. Listlessly  like one in a lengthy convalescence I start on the laundry. Instead of just throwing everything in together the way I usually did - I was very careful. Mother's threats are not be taken lightly I knew this all to well!  Besides I had a lot of pretty things in the wash and didn't want to ruin them. I had to think of something - some way out - but right now my brain felt like a we sponge. Just get though the day, I told myself, just get through the day - tomorrow will be another day. After three loads of laundry - not including some of my dresses that I  washed by hand I took a nap, I didn't feel like eating anything. My dreams were troubled and fevered. I woke up and took another shower and cried a little more. I felt a little better. I put on my sexiest out fit - mini skirt - tight red silk blouse and heels. I almost fell and broke my neck, I looked in the mirror - I feel better looking at the beautiful; sexy girl in the mirror. I try and walk in the heels and almost break my neck. I pull them off. The phone rings. It is Howard, he is a little nervous and stammers a little. I smile. He is so cute!"Alice, I was wondering - I have these tickets to the rock concert Saturday night - I know it is short notice and everything, but would you -"He seemed to dry up. "I would love to go, Howard!"  - a few weeks ago I was wondering how to pay for tickets to the same concert and now I was getting them free. Easy Money I thought bitterly and started crying again. Instantly Howard was all concern."Are you are right?""I am not feeling the best, Howard. The last few days have put a strain on me. I'll be OK " I couldn't resist what I knew to be a cliche - I am just not myself right now.""Well take care of yourself! I loved your speech at your graduation!""Thank you!" We made arrangements for Saturday. It would be nice to go out with Howard. I would get away from mother too - the evil bitch! I bet she was even too mean for hell! " I call the witch up."I say in Alice's sweetest tones. "Mom, I was wondering where my car was?""Car, car? " she sounded puzzled. "You must be confused Alice dear, you don't have a car. You never did."Fuck! she was playing it close to the chest. I played along - what other choice did I have. "Silly me, I meant George's car of course  I thought I might drive it while my brother (I thought but did not say 'the lying, sneaking life thief) is in Brazil.""I don't think the car is suitable - or safe for you to drive, Alice sweetheart! Neither did George. He sold it to add to the money he was taking with him. He didn't think it would safe for a nice girl like you to drive. Isn't that the sweetest of brothers?"Roast the bastard like a marshmallow! I think. "You needed worry about a car, dear when you start work here We can car pool together - if I work late I will arrange for you to get back home. Also - I think Taxi's or your bike will be the best thing for secretary school. Yes, I think your bike - its only ten miles from the house and the exercise will help you keep your girlish figure."I closed my eyes. I am going to kill her - just going to kill mom. "Anything you say, mom" I pipe sweetly. "Mom, I was wondering - could I get contacts? I hate my glasses.""Of course dear! I will make an appointment for you right away! I am so glad you're talking more interest in your appearance. "She laughed musically. " What do you they say in the old films we see on  TV that were made before WW2 - guys don't make passes at girls that wear glasses!"Up your nose with a rubber nose I think but I just thank her sweetly. Gag me!"Oh Alice - would you be a dear and make out a list of things we might need from the grocery store and take your bike and get them?""Not at all, Mom " I say threw grated teeth. I am a god damn slave. Why did I ever listen to Alice? "Mom, Howard and are going out Saturday night - if that's OK with you.""Of course it, dear - I am so glad you are finally have a nice boyfriend! You know I only want you to be happy!"Sure - when Clinton enters a Monastery! What a hypocrite! What! a lying bitchy hypocrite. I start the list the first item I write is RAT POISON! I check through the pantry and the frig. I think about the chef and Chez Louis. I call and he says come over about four and I can help in the kitchen. I am so excited. At least this will get me out of the house. I throw on a comfortable dress and sneakers and a sports bra and bike over to the store. There I look at the rat poison wistfully but regretfully pass it up. I put a few bottles of wine in the cart - I few drinks might help me make though the interesting times ahead. The cashier looks at me quizzically."Now, Alice you know we can't sell you wine. You're tried this before."I always knew Alice was a sneak! "Mom, wants them! " I say desperately. The cashier smiles patronizingly at me. "Does she indeed. Then you wont mind if I call her and confirm?""No, don't brother her! Just put it back!" God I felt so humiliated! I felt like a five year girl with dirty paws caught with my hand in a cookie jar. After putting away the groceries I bike the five miles to Cafe Louis. The owner-chef greets me with enthusiasm and says he wishes his daughters and sons were interested in great Cuisine. He starts talking in French and to my surprise I find I can understand and speak it fairly well. I can't explain it, but never look a gift horse in the mouth. M. Calvert says he recognized in me immediately a twin spirit - like one great musician can recognize each other. The aromas are heavenly. He is patient with my clumsiness and I help with  cutting and dicing and stirring. I call Mom and she is delighted that I am, learning to cook and gives me permission to stay at the restaurant until closing. Then I am to call and she will come and pick me up at ten. It is hard work, but I don't mind. It takes my mind off my problems. At a convenient break M. Calvert and I sit down and share a delicious Lobster ALA American - I am surprised that the dish has really nothing to do with America. Being French  he offers me wine as a matter of course. I am to come back as often as I please. Friday night? Certainly, he says, but shouldn't a pretty girl like me have a date. Saturday! I reply with a smile. "Same young man who brought you to my place?"I find myself winking and nodding and he pats my hand like a fond father."He is almost worthy of your beauty" he says gallantly.Impulsively I kiss his cheek, he looks very pleased.I am tired but proud of myself when Mom picks me up. I introduce M. Calvert to her and for once she is nice."Madam, you have a beautiful, charming, talented daughter! My congratulations." He kisses her hand. And damn if the old witch doesn't flush. Then she rallies and returns to form." Yes, I am very proud of MY DAUGHTER ALICE - I am so glad she hasn't turned out like her worthless brother."He smiles gently at her." Madam, I beg of you - please  do not judge your son too soon. Children are like roasts - sometimes they take longer to reach the right degree of doneness." For once she has nothing to say. In her car she says she is pleased with the way I did the laundry and the grocery shopping. She laughs her steely laugh. "In checking around I more than expected to find some rat poison."I give her Alice's most innocent look. "Mom! As if I would even think such a thing!"She looks at me a hint of a grin. "I'm sorry, Alice dear. I'm sure you wouldn't." She kisses me good night. God what a hypocrite!I make Mom's breakfast. I have no house work as the maid is do at ten. The phone rings. It's Nancy."Hey Alice - I am having a little party at my folks house about 8 you want to grab Howard and come?"I hesitate. I don't want to spoil out friendship before it  starts."Anything wrong?"I tell her about Chez Louis. And that I will try and get Howard to pick me up around 7 and then come on over.""Wow! You're really learning to cook - and at a French restaurant at that? " She pauses for a moment. " I bet Howard took you there last week - didn't he?""Yes." What a leap of intuition."You must really like him - you are really going all out to capture him! Even learning French cooking!"I am about to protest, but realize it will do no good. She rings off after thirty minutes telling me about her boyfriend and where they both are going to college. She thanks me for being a good listener. "Most of my other girl friends talk too much! Thanks for listening Alice - it was very important to me!"I feel pleased. Its nice to have a real friend. Most of the guys I know were interested in easy money, too and they would have cheerfully run me over in a car to get to an opportunity first. Howard is delighted to take me to the party. That is very gratifying. He offers to pick me up at the restaurant, but I don't want him to see me all dirty and disheveled from the kitchen. So he is to pick me up at home. I get everything ready - sexy, tight mini skirt and blouse - no heels though. I may look like and feel like a woman, but I'm not crazy enough to wear those ankle busters. I should cancel the restaurant, but I don't want to disappoint M. Calvert. I swallow my pride and ask Mom if she will pick me up at 7 there _ I don't want to arrive  home all hot and sweaty. She is delighted to - she even tells me to take a Taxi - and she pay for it also to the eye doctor this morning; she has pulled a few strings and got me an appointment. It is hard learning to put the Fuckin things in my eyes and I am astounded how much care they take, but looking in the mirror at the beautiful girl there - minus those awful glasses will be worth it!M. Calvert just smiles knowing when I tell him about tonight. He nods with self satisfaction." I knew you were too beautiful a girl to remain working on a Friday night! I feel honored at your commitment to cuisine that you are here at all. "Mom Picks me up and I run upstairs to get ready. I shower - and without to much trouble slip on my bra and clothes. Wryly I think practice makes perfect. Thank God my period is almost over - tomorrow morning should see the end of it, mom thinks. God I hated to hear her laugh when I timidly asked her how much longer it would go on!I smile to see Howard's eyes light up when he saw me. He kissed me soundly. "You look even more beautiful without your glasses!" I knew I would - Alice was too much of a coward to get them I found out from Mom. Howard and I arrive at the party. It is obvious that Nancy's mouth has not been idle - we are looked upon as an 'item'. The girls I am glad to see look envious and the boys I am glad to see look disappointed. I have a great time. To Howard's passionate hints I answer - still having my period, but I promise him my sexy body for tomorrow night. I am surprised how much I am looking forward to it. I have a great time. Nancy and I seem to be bonding. She like everyone else says I look better with contacts. She remarks how much I have changed for the better. I tell her about Mom and she is horrified."No wonder you were such a bitch!  " then she flushes."That's OK - I bet I was!"I give Howard a goodnight kiss I know he won't forget soon at the door. When I come in Mom says blandly. "I am glad you and Howard are getting along so well, Alice dear. The Jones have invited us over for Sunday dinner."I have butterflies in my stomach. Its obvious mom and the Jones are into match making. But what about her promise of changing me back? I asked her."Don't worry dear, you can trust your mother! The search will take time and don't forget - you have to behave yourself for an entire year. You've started well, but you have a long way to go. Now good night, sweetie - you need your beauty sleep for your big date for Saturday night!"Yeah, mom I can trust you - trust a corp. lawyer  - right!! But what fuckin' choice do I have?"The next morning I do my chores. God I hate to look at Mom's smug satisfied smiles. She feels she really has me under her thumb and every look shows her gloating. I am going to kill Alice! I think not for the first or I'm sure for the last time.I sit despondently  in what had now become my room. I am feeling helpless crushed under Mom's high heels! I am under legal age to move out. She is insisting before she gives me money for college or anything I have to work a year as a paralegal secretary - go to school for it and then work under her in the law firm. Shit! who's going to trust a cute 17 year with an easy money opportunity. If Alice was here I would roast him over a slow fire! I think with  feminine savagery. He has stolen my big chance at easy money.  He's off to Brazil with a hot chick and I'm home with mother! It just isn't fair. I start crying again. I have become a fucking watering pot! I sniffle - I got to stop - this isn't doing me any good - except it does feel kind of good. What am I going to do? I throw the picture of mom crashing against the wall and the frame breaks along with the glass. I feel better. What can I do - how can I make easy money - how can I get away from Mom's control? Suddenly it comes to me. There is a way! It will be easy - easier for me than if I was still George! I look critically at myself in the mirror - I am a very beautiful, terminally cute and innocent looking 17 year old girl, charming and intelligent. Men would pay  big bucks for this body, for these smiles, for this little girl cuteness. Big bucks - EASY MONEY. All I would have to do would be to smile, be cute, flatter them a little and open my legs. I could make 500 or more a trick. Say I turned ten tricks a week for 50 weeks - that's $ 250,000 for a fifty week year with a two week vacation - which could even be a working vacation, let some John take me with him for two weeks - add another 25,000 to that say. I could live a great apartment - drive a corvette. Eat well - again with Johns picking up most of the tab. The 2,000 in Alice's - now my account would pay for the initial investment in clothes and pad.  Say I clear $ 200,000 tax free dollars a year. In five years with good investments I would have over 1,400,000 - I could retire - all easy money. Dad would be so proud of me. I could rub mom's face in it, too and make sure her sister and all he other female relatives knew what her 'golden daughter' was doing for a living. Alice would find out for sure, too. I would have my revenge. I would have lots and lots of EASY MONEY. I lay back down on the bed laughing like a manic. It would be all so sweet!I get up and cross once more to the mirror. I speak to myself, to that very beautiful girl in the mirror." You should do it. It's the easy money  you always dreamed of. You're a fool! You're not going to do it are you?" I wasn't. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Somehow I just couldn't. God damn morals and self respect! I  laugh ruefully. I guess I have a lot more of  them than I thought. Fuck my bad luck! I dry my tears. I didn't want to look red eyed and puffy. The phone rings. I pick it up and I brighten. It's Howard."Darling!"He called me darling - that was so sweet! "Yes, Howard dear?""I am so looking to tonight -  I just can't wait to see you or hold you in my arms!"I smile. Howard is the only good thing in this raw deal. Oh and M. Calvert.Boy, was Howard horny and passionate when he came for me. It's very flattering. Mom of course broke it up. She always was a kill joy. She pried us apart and warned  Howard to be on his best behavior - all the while with her cold, steely smile. I was sympathetic rather then contemptuous to observed that she frightened him. I hope mom didn't drive him away from me. In the car he turns to me.'Tell me what's your mother's best record in pit bulls?'What is he talking about it? "Pit bulls?" I answer puzzled. What do pit bulls have to do with anything."Yeah just what's her record -  how many pit bulls have your mother killed with her teeth in an hour?"I giggled and slap him playfully by the arm. "You're bad!" I say admiringly."Well?""Well if you must know its fifteen. It would have been sixteen but he ran away just as the timer buzzed."He laughed and kissed me. The concert really rocked. I refused pot and so did he. Mom would kill me if she thought I was on drugs. This night Howard was taking no chances and had booked us a room for the night in the Adam's mark. His parents sure gave him a lot of money, I thought enviously.  I was a little nervous. I hoped I would be good in bed. I just resolved to do to him what I always like girls to do to me. He felt so great in my arms. Did I ever need his love after this horrible week! It was nice - no better than nice, to be a beautiful girl - having wonderful sex with Howard. After the third time he fell back exhausted and I took advantage of his weakness and before he knew what hit him we're an item - going 'steady'.Sunday night was a strain, though Mrs. Jones was a hell of a lot nicer than my mother. But it was scary at the same time. I was already being treated like the daughter of the house. Before I knew what hit me I was agreeing to join them on a trip by private plane to their vineyard in Napa valley for the next weekend. I was also encouraged to ask a friend. So I called Nancy - she was delighted and was sure Bob would be too. It was funny she had been Alice's biggest enemy and how she was my best friend. God! What a weird situation.Monday I am doing the windows - the maid won't - when the phone rings. It's Howard wanting to know if he can come over. I grow excited - "Hurry!" I whisper.The days go by - I start secretarial school. I hate it, but do OK.  I continue to work with M. Calvert at his restaurant in the evening - an evening away from Mom is a good evening, besides I find that I love to cook! The weekend is great and Nancy tells me that I have really turned out to be her best friend and so is sorry she called me a cheating bitch. I kiss her and tell her - its OK and I'm sorry I tripped her. She is glad that I talked mom into not sending her folks a bill and is surprised to know that I did it before we made up. Howard, Nancy and Bob and I have to be discreet, but we still get a little Nookie in. The food is fantastic - If I do say so myself. M. Calvert had given me some recipes which I tried out to unanimous applause. The wines from the Jones's own reserve are fabulous! What a great weekend!Eventually I go to work under Mom's direct supervision. I know she is just waiting for me to crack - I won't give her the satisfaction! Everybody at the office hates and fears her - what a hell of a life for her. She must be really unhappy. I start to feel a little sorry for her and she's surprised when I am nice to her. God! I hate it when Howard goes back to college - thank God its his last year. He's coming home most weekends and I am flying up to his big social events. I am all a glow. I still work three evening a week for M. Calvert. Mom is puzzled as to why? I am already a good cook. Its simple - I want to be a great cook and I love M. Calvert. Some evenings I fill in  for the hostess and seat people and explain the glories of French Cuisine. I refuse to accept any money from him - surprising me and delighting him that I like him and cooking so much. My French now is very fluent. At Mom's law firm I am banking my Salary - Mom pays all the house hold expenses - she also has told me not to buy a car. I guess she wants me to be dependent on her as much as possible.Mom still buys me almost anything I ask her in the way of clothes. I purchase some of the most darling winter clothes and one pair of boots from Italy that I just adore. I still refuse heels to mother's disappointment. I think she has fantasies of me becoming a lawyer like her - as if! Sometimes I also think she forgets who I am really am and thinks of me as Alice! I encourage her in this - she treats me a hell of a nicer then. To turn me onto the law - she often she has me doing long hours in the law libraries - sometimes my eyes get so tired I need to take out my contacts and go back to old yucky glasses.Mom keeps telling me they're still looking for the gypsy - I don't believe her, but what can I do? Also, somehow it doesn't seem as important to me as it did a few months ago. I laugh. I wonder if mom has any clue how close she came to having a hooker for a  daughter? I smile. I know I just know she and George - I mean Alice of course are keeping in contact. Probably a post office box. I know she wouldn't keep the letters at home. So they must be in her office. One night when she asleep is I make impressions of her office keys. I almost  piss in my night gown when I dropped them - fortunately I catch them with my toes! When she out of town on business. I search her office - shit nothing - probably in a safety deposit box. Fuck!On December  16 - Beethoven's birthday according to Peanuts I am called into mom's office.  "Sit down, Alice, dear, she says with a bright smile that is as phony as her briefs. "I have some good news for you."I know better than  to ask anything, but just wait. My gut feeling tell me its going to be something unpleasant."You brother, George is up for the Christmas holidays. Isn't that nice! ""Peachy!""I knew you would be as delighted as I. He is at the Adam's Mark -"The Adman's Mark - mom are you paying for this?""No dear - as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted (sorry, I mouth) he is up here with his wife Carmen and is very rich now?'"Bride? Rich?" I asked stupidly."Yes, he and his father-in-law - oh did I forget to tell you that George and Carmen were married in July?""Yes, - a minor matter like that must have slipped your mind!""So sorry," She says sweetly." Anyway he and his father-in-law made one of the largest gold strikes in the history of Brazil. Your brother is a great geologist!""I'm sure  I didn't even know HE was even interested in Geology?" Son-of - a bitch Alice had stolen me - not only my body, but my dreams - he had struck it rich - he made the fortune in easy money - had a beautiful wife - while I am stuck as a secretary in the law office working for mom!Mom smiles blandly." They are taking us out to dinner and I want you to be nice.""Nice - he steals my body and my life and you want me to be nice! As if!""Alice -""No I wont do it - its obvious I will never get my body back again - so what are you going to do fire me?" I scream"Calm down, Alice I can understand why you are upset. But your brother did not steal your body - it was your idea to exchange and its not his fault, but yours that you two did not exchange back. You are still interested in that twenty thousand dollar bonus aren't you?"I was. "Then come to dinner with your brother. Its Christmas soon - the time forgiveness and love. Besides I bet you're dying of curiosity!"She had me there!"Also, George has most generously decided to be fair with you - even though the switch was all your fault to have peace in the family and for your promise never to tell Carmen or anyone else he will give you a ten thousand dollar Christmas present.""Twenty! " I say automatically "otherwise I vomit up the whole thing in Carmen's face."She made a face. "Very well. I am sure he will agree."I nod smiling." I'm sure he will."I go out and buy a new dress for dinner. I want to look my best somehow. I even decide to wear heels. I practice in them until I can walk gracefully.It is the strangest dinner in the world. Carmen throws her arms around me crying "My beloved sister! I'm sorry, I wanted to ask you to the wedding, but he - your brother George's so masterful. He insisted we get married right away!" She looked fondly at her husband." He is also a Brazilian citizen now! He's a tremendous success - drive and ability and intelligence and good connections count for more than any degree in my country,He hugs me without turning a hair." Hello, Alice.""Hello, George." It is really weird. It is almost a leap of imagination to remember that this tall man opposite me was once myself. He is tan and fit - looking like a jungle jaguar ready for another meal. He has grown a striking mustache and looks handsome and dashing. His embrace is too tight and cry out in pain."Sorry, Sis I was so exited to see you again that I forgot my own strength."I bet!! I think"My don't you look beautiful! And so well dressed - you look good in high heels." I smile and smile. I barely keep from losing my cookie's when I hear of 'George's intrepid trek into the jungle and of the adventures he had and how much the gold is worth. All the while the beautiful Carmen is staring at him with love and hero worship. PLEASE! I do not taste a bite while Mom talks about how well I am doing as a secretary and how good a cook I've become.'George's eyes twinkle. "I always knew you had it in you, Alice." Carmen and her husband dance a tango when the dance band strikes up one.My mother pats my hand. "Thank you, you're being a real gracious lady about this Alice."Mom does know how close she came to getting my uneaten food right in the kisser!I see my brother talking to the band leader. They strike up 'My sweet little Alice Blue Gown.'Shit! He asks me to dance - insult to injury, but if being a female teaches you one thing - it teaches you this - how to grin and bare it. So we go waltzing around the floor."You -""Don't say it Alice - Everything you want to say - believe I've said to my self often enough. I didn't feel we had a choice. We were not going to find the gypsy. Mom had to know and since she despised you to begin with - I didn't - well think there was any point of having her despise us both - besides I needed the money to go into partnership with Carmen's father. I thought I could get it by blaming you. And it worked. Besides I have never made any secret that I would do anything , ANYTHING  so Mom would not be disappointed in me -didn't I go so far as to exchange bodies with you and offer to pay you thousands of dollars in the beginning?""So to make yourself look good you blamed me for everything! Do you know what you've put me through - I've been Mom's abject slave.""Has it really been that bad!" he laughed."Well no - but I have had to visit our aunt 28 times since the exchange!"He laughed -" Poor Sis. I know you hated that. " He looked at me slyly. "Mom tells me you have a serious boy friend - Howard Jones."I just stare at him as he twirled me around the dance floor."Its funny how things work out for the best.""What!" I hissed."Well look at yourself - you at best be dead broke now or in jail - I would probably have been bullied into law - I wouldn't be rich and married to the sexiest girl in the world - determined to make me happy. You have a roof over your head - with the salary you're saving and the twenty from me and the twenty from Mom you'll have pretty close to 62,000 in the bank - Easy money!"I did not trust my self to answer. George makes millions and I get a few thousand dollars most of which I worked for in one way or another.Howard meets my brother when he comes back from school for the Christmas holidays. I ask him for his frank opinion. He looks at me to make sure I am serious."He's charming, but I don't trust him."Right on, Howard! At Christmas Howard sneaks me away off to myself in his parent's living room."Remember our first night together here?""How could I forget it! We were almost caught naked!"He laughed. :" As long as I live I will never forget the sight of you so frightened that you tried to put on my boxers - you're so pretty and feminine they looked so funny when you were trying to put them on."I laugh too. How long ago and far away that seems now.He clears his throat nervously and gulps the last of his drink and sets it down. He take my hand."Alice I love you - will you marry me!"That's the nicest Christmas present a girl ever had. We are going to married after the first of the year. I will go back with him to his University and take a few business classes. After graduation  he will take over his father's business outside the law firm. I volunteer to help.It is a beautiful wedding - Nancy who beat me down the aisle by two months is Matron of honor as I was her maid of honor. Carmen is a bridesmaid - flying up for the wedding. George wants to be best man - as if! No way Jose!.  Mom and M. Clavert cry at the wedding. We've been married for six wonderful months now. Howard says besides being the most beautiful girl in California if not the world -that I'm  invaluable as a wife and as a business partner - I always seem to sniff out the 'Easy Money' crooked scams people try to pull. I work about twenty hours a week. Also I still spend about 12 hours a week at the home for abused children to them I am George's pretty young sister. I cook them up special treats every time I go down.  I am famous for my parties and our little set says I'm the best cook in LA. That's a laugh - M. Clavert is! But I am a great cook. We have a maid - who likes me - as she says I am nothing like my mother. I get along very well with my in-laws. My mother and I have an uneasy truce. She tried to pass it off that she did what was best for me, but I know she wanted what was best for my sibling and for own rep - she now she has a son and daughter to be proud of so I suspect she's as happy as she can be given her nature. I'm an aunt now as Carmen delivered a boy down in Brazil. I guess I'll fly down one day soon. I sit back on the bed reflecting over the last year.When I have children I will be a better mother than Mom was to Alice and me. It will be easier - I have Howard for a husband. I may not have the 'easy money' that I ways dreamed of having when I was George  - I have something my poor mother never had. I know I will sound like a silly young bride and I guess that's what I am, but I have love - Howard loves me and I love him. Believe me that makes me richer  than all the easy money in the worldfin
