Synopsis:

Scott was on his way west to meet up with his friends to start a new life in L A. What he came across in the desert after his car broke down would change him forever. He wondered if his friends would recognise him once they finally met again. He didn’t think this was what his friend’s intended when they said, "start a new life."

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Julie ended the call, grinning, which prompted a question from William, who was driving.

"So is Sara pregnant?" he asked, having heard part of the banter between Julie and Sara.

"No, but I'm now an auntie," she teased, with a smile, letting him try and figure that out.

"Huh?" He grunted, responding just as she'd expected.

"That Maggie is a cutie, I can't wait to meet her," Julie sighed, letting William puzzle a little longer.

"It must be strange to live as a little girl, after being an adult," William conceded, knowing she'd explain her earlier remark in time.

"I hope she gets what she wants, she sounded so shy and sweet on the phone, she called me auntie. It sent shivers up me, that's something I never thought I'd hear," Julie blushed.

"Sara and I have to work out what to do, to reconcile the adult Maggie and the child, without losing either of them," Kim said, joining in on the conversation.

Kim wouldn't elaborate further, saying it was up to Sara to tell them. They continued driving, stopping for lunch on the coast, where they picked some not very palatable takeaways. The seagulls didn't seem to mind the over cooked greasy fries, which were mostly uneaten.

"I hope Sara has that banquet ready," grumbled William, biting into a much more palatable apple. "Only without the fries, I think I've been put of them for life, with that poor excuse of a diner.

Julie laughed, knowing fries was one of William's staple foods, and that his definition of, "for life," would last only till the next time he smelt them cooking somewhere.

Sarah looked in the cupboards, and thought about what she could make that was simple yet tasty. She made a list of the immediate needs, and went and asked if Kevin would shoot down to the local super market for them.

Kevin half grumbled that it was woman's work; waiting for the nibble he knew he'd get.

"Well if that's what you think, then go as Anita, I'm sure she wouldn't mind," Sara responded. "I'd go myself, but I wanted to take Maggie to the beach for a play in the sand. Once you get back, you could take over while I start dinner, that way you can show off that bikini I bought you."

Kevin blushed, thinking of the three miniscule pieces of material pretending to be called a bikini, it was more string than anything, but it did make Anita look fantastic. The sudden hardening of his cock brought him out of his daydream, as Sara handed him the list.

"Okay, I'll go change," he capitulated, not sure if he'd won or lost.

Sara went and checked on Maggie, while Kevin went upstairs. Maggie had managed to eat most of the spaghetti and had left the table to check out the cable TV. Her chin still showed remnants of the meal and her sleeve looked suspiciously red as if she'd used it to wipe her face clean. Engrossed in the TV program showing the birth of lion cubs, Sara couldn't help thinking how cute she looked. She hoped Maggie would retain her cuteness when she was given her younger 3-year-old body. Maggie sensed Sara watching her and ran to her, pulling at her arm to see the baby lions.

"Look mommy, nice kitties, they just been borned, can I have a kitty, I looks after it special, mommy?" she rattled off in her excitement.

"I don't see why not," offered Sara, seeing how excited Maggie was.

"Yippee, I'm going to get a kitty, I'm going to get a kitty," Maggie sang, dancing up and down. She ran to Sara and hugged her, begging to go get one right there and then.

"Maggie, we'll do that in a few days, okay? Right now, how would you like to go down to the beach? You can make sand castles and even go for a swim when your lunch has gone down. Sara lifted Maggie up, complaining that she was heavy from spaghetti overload, as she went to get themselves changed into swimsuits. They passed Anita coming down the stairs, and Maggie held out her hands for a quick hug before Anita left.

"Looking smart, hon, you have great taste in clothes," Sara grinned, checking Anita's attire.

"Well, seeing they are yours, that's to be expected. I hope you don't mind me borrowing your sundress, the others are too dressy to just do shopping in," Anita explained, blushing a little, as she fussed with the skirt.

What's mine is yours... and vice versa," winked Sara, promising interesting times ahead. Sara kissed Anita, before letting her continue downstairs.

"Byee, auntie Anita," Maggie called, waving at her from over Sara's shoulder.

Once on the beach, Sara rubbed suntan lotion over Maggie, who was only clad in a pair of bikini bottoms. Sara welcomed Maggie's offer to do the same on her. Sara then watched Maggie running around on the beach, exploring every thing with a child's innocence. After an hour of bringing Sara every pretty shell and curiously shaped piece of driftwood, Sara lifted Maggie into her arms and waded into the ocean. The water being warm and calm, Maggie didn't object to getting wet. They played in the shallow waters, splashing each other with Maggie giggling at Sara's mock protests.

A call from the beach heralded the arrival of Anita, wearing her poor excuse for a bikini. Sara devoured her form with her eyes, feeling her body react to the way Anita's chest bobbled as she ran into the water. A quick kiss, and Anita turned to Maggie to respond to the splash attack she had mounted against the new target. Maggie squealed and ran sluggishly in the water, trying to escape Anita's indignant pursuit.

It was while Anita was flicking her now wet hair aside; as she pretended to lose ground in her race to catch Maggie the mischief monster, that Sara suddenly gasped.

"What happened to you lovely hairdo that Tyrissa did for you? I just realised you had your hair down when you went out shopping. I was sure the Krin would have saved it till you became Anita again," Sara asked sounding upset.

Anita broke off her pursuit of Maggie the little mermaid, and turned, grinning knowingly at her twin.

"When I changed, I realised that my updo was a little too smart for going casual shopping, and it would get ruined if it got wet in the ocean, especially with Maggie mischief here," giving Maggie an 'I'll get you look.' "So I stood in front of the mirror and used the Krin to save my image under one of the spare settings. Then by changing into one of the other identities, before choosing Sara/Anita, I got the default form which didn't have the hair style done. The rest was simple I grabbed you dress and you never even noticed," she pouted before grinning at Sara's guilty look.

"Hey, it's okay," Anita, added, realising Sara felt bad about not noticing her hair. She hugged Sara, before continuing. "Remember I only had that hair for a short while, compared to the time I had my normal Anita hairstyle."

"So you can retrieve the updo anytime you want? Asked Sara, feeling somewhat better.

"Yeah, just another use for the wonderful Krin," laughed Anita, as resumed her chase of Maggie.

"Okay, well if you look after Maggie, I'll get dinner sorted," Sara yelled to Anita, as she started to walk to the beach.

"Oh I picked up some dessert, and a treat for Maggie," called Anita to the departing Sara. Maggie's ears pricked, at the words 'Maggie' and 'treat.' She even let Anita catch her and scoop her up in her arms so she could ask what the treat was.

"You'll see. It came all the way from New Zealand as well." Anita said cryptically, not letting Maggie wheedle the secret out of her with those huge imploring eyes.

Leaving the others frolicking in the water, Sara headed to the house, grabbing her towel and sandals on the way. She rinsed off the salt and sand, using the outside showerhead designed for that very purpose. She peeled off her wet swimsuit and wrapped the towel around her naked form, her breasts keeping the tuck secure. She went into the kitchen, not bothering to change, feeling a sense of daring at being naked under her towel.

She washed some potatoes and put them in the oven to bake. She prepared a salad to go with the meal, not wanting to cook vegetables on this fine hot day. She got out the chicken breasts from the fridge, noticing the strawberry cheesecake that Anita had bought. She saw another box in there and had a quick look. 'Ah, Maggie's treats,' she thought, wondering where he'd got the odd looking chocolate confection. After coating the chicken portions in a beaten egg and then coated in breadcrumbs, she set them aside to be cooked later. She checked that there was some cold wine and beer in the wet bar, she went upstairs for a bath, knowing that the bathrooms would be in high demand when the others arrived.

She was just getting out of the bath, when she heard Julie's voice calling out for her.

"I'm upstairs, give me a moment," she called back, slipping on a robe.

Sara managed a quick change, putting on a white bra and panties before grabbing some pink shorts that showed off her derriá¨re and a white sleeveless shell top, which showed off her other assets.

Julie and William had brought up their luggage into the rooms they'd been using before. They were just coming out to go downstairs again, as Sara rushed out of her bedroom.

"Julie," squealed Sara, grabbing her into a hug.

"Wow! You smell fresh. Love the clothes. Is there any hot water left?" Julie rattled after, after returning the hug. "I could kill for a shower," she added, with a laugh.

"Sure, but you better get in first, Maggie and Anita will probably want a shower after their swim. They should be finished soon," Sara answered.

No sooner had Sara said that, Maggie's excited giggling was heard coming from downstairs. William, Julie, and Sara went down to see wet footprints on the floor leading from the backdoor across to the owner, who was stood motionless, looking at Kim sitting in the lounge room. Maggie was buck naked, having been divested of her bottoms by Anita, who had washed the sand off Maggie using the outside shower.

"Hello Maggie, nice to see you again," welcomed Kim, holding her arms out in welcome.

Maggie, knowing that Kim was responsible for her having gained the wonderful gift of her present body, and having had the most glorious time since, flung herself into Kim's arms, unconcerned with her present state of attire or dampness.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," she cried, hugging Kim fervently, at a loss to say more at that moment.

Kim, understanding what Maggie was thanking her for, smiled, not worrying about the water that was being soaked up by her clothes.

"You are most welcome," she replied.

Sara and the others grinned at each other, as they advanced into the lounge, seeing the scene before them. Anita, came through the backdoor, her bikini top in her hand and pulling at the ties that would release the patch of cloth at her groin. She didn't notice the others, as she undid the knot that let her step out of her bikini bottom. She looked up and froze, seeing the others grinning at her. A blush suffused her whole body, as she realised that she was standing fully naked in front of her friends.

Julie swept forward with a rush, enveloping Anita in a hug, before Anita had a chance to flee.

"You look fabulous, I'm so jealous of that tan," she said, offering Anita, her body as a shield.

I wasn't expecting you yet, I thought I was alone except for Maggie, I feel so embarrassed," she returned, looking down at the floor.

"Don't be, we are all friends here, and William has been exploring the world of femininity as well. I'm glad to meet Kevin's sister at last," Julie giggled, kissing her on the cheek.

William, in a brilliant display of sensitivity, had used the Krin to take on Mi Ling's form, as soon as he had seen Anita's embarrassment. To show that Anita had nothing to worry about, Mi Ling took the opportunity to walk closer to Anita, so that she could get her own hug in, before Julie released her.

Anita felt Mi Lings arms slide around her and heard her whisper, "I'm glad to at last meet my new sister in the flesh as it were," grinned Mi Ling, before she kissed Anita on the cheek.

"You look particularly cute too," grinned Anita, as she took in William's diminutive form.

"Cute maybe, but decidedly dangerous," laughed Mi Ling, stepping back and flourishing her fans, as she posed in a defensive stance.

"Fantastic," was Anita's only response, as she stood looking more relaxed in her state of undress.

"You'd better go get a shower," offered Julie, resigning herself to the prospect of a cold shower. "Try and leave me some hot water, I'm all sticky and need to clean up," she added.

"Um, you don't need to worry about having no hot water," Kim said looking slightly embarrassed. "I had the system revamped while you were both away."

"You didn't?" Julie asked, looking at Sara with a raised eyebrow.

"Sorry it sort of slipped out when we talked to Kim in Washington," answered Sara. She blushed, recalling the shower antics the four of them had together as women.

"Well, at least there's hot water," remarked Julie, deciding to overlook Sara's indiscretions.

"It's solar heated with a 2000 gallon tank, plus its gas boosted for those extra dirty days," Kim said straight faced.

"Everyone, but Maggie got the reference of "dirty days," and laughed, glad that Kim had a sense of humour.

Anita scampered upstairs keen to get clean. She knew she could have just used the Krin to switch to Kevin, and therefore not have to bother with it, but she felt it unfair to put Anita away dirty, likening it to putting dirty underwear back in the drawers. There were two other good reasons for remaining Anita. She loved the sensations of soaping her womanly charms, and maybe getting herself off if she was quick. The other reason was, that she wanted to show off the do the Tyrissa had giving her. She thought about which dress would set it off, as she started the shower.

While Anita was busy upstairs, Julie and William, who had reverted to his male self, were being introduced to Maggie. They both made a fuss over her, which soon endeared them to the pocket pixie. Julie loved her straight off, giving at Maggie's often scrambled recollections of her trip back with Sara and Kevin. William was a little more reserved, making sure that what he saw was the genuine article and not some kind a fraud that was taking advantage of his friends.

Maggie's enthusiasm won out, convincing William that Maggie was indeed a treasure to be kept. Julie was kept entranced, as Maggie related all her adventures to her fresh audience. It wasn't until a polite cough from near the stairs, that Julie realised how much time had passed.

Now that she had got their attention, Anita continued to walk elegantly down the stairs. The awed gasp from Julie, and the involuntary wolf whistle from William, made her feel strangely pleased with herself. Although Kevin was happy to be a man, doing what comes naturally when it came to women. While as Anita, the sexual part didn't change much, other stuff did. Looking nice meant so much more as a female.

Where Kevin just threw on what was clean and comfortable, Anita had to consider where she was going and what she'd be doing, before she could even start to get dressed. Then there was the whole co-ordination thing, what went with what, and what colour went with others, even the choice in makeup and nail polish had to be taken into account. Although it was more complicated, there was a certain pleasure when you got it all right, and the look in the mirror said, "that's it, you got it." Having a great body helped of course, but it made it hard to leave the mirror, when the male part of you mind was telling you that there was a gorgeous female standing in front of you under your full control. Being admired by others, after spending the time to get the look right, sent shivers through Anita's attractive body.

"You like?" asked Anita, as she twirled smoothly on her black heels. Her black mid length dress showed off her curves perfectly and the black lace shawl that lay slung low across her back and draped elegantly though her arms at the elbows, only helped set off the blonde updo that was Tyrissa's piece de'resistance.

"My god you look fantastic," gasped Julie running forward and taking Anita's hand. "I must borrow that dress sometime," she added, plucking at the material.

"Hey, buy your own, I did," Anita scolded, getting territorial for a moment before breaking into a grin. 'What a turn up, fighting over the right to wear a dress,' thought Anita, feeling somewhat foolish.

Everyone laughed at the display, knowing who was really inside that attractive body. Julie hugged Anita and whispered in her ear.

"You look so good, I could eat you up," before blushing and stepping back.

Maggie, not to be left out, ran forward to meet her dad/mom2/aunt, combination. Maggie sprang into the air, as if launched off an invisible trampoline, right into Anita's arm

"Hello scamp," Anita grunted, as she caught the airborne child in her arms. "I think you need to get a shower, maybe if you asked Julie, she would let you join her, when she gets her shower." Anita suggested, giving Maggie an exaggerated sniff test and wrinkling her nose at the supposed smell.

Maggie knew she had to protest anything to do with getting clean. She knew it was in the rules somewhere for all children to avoid all soap bearing water. Showering with Julie, on the other hand, sounded rather nice, and a great opportunity to bond with her new auntie.

"Awhh, do I have to?" She protested, half-heartedly.

"Well if you do... I might give you a treat before dinner, as long as you promise to eat all your food later," bribed Anita hopefully.

"I pwromise," was Maggie's immediate response, wriggling out of Anita's grasp and running to Julie.

"We gotta gets a shower, so I gets tweat," urged Maggie, tugging on Julie's arm.

The others grinned as Julie was led away upstairs by an impatient Maggie.

"It's so unfair," grumbled Sara, looking at Anita. "Kevin has my body and looks better than me," she complained to Kim.

Kim leaned close and whispered in Sara's ear, which turned her pout to a grin of mischief. She used her Krin to snap an image of Anita as she was moving to sit down. Sara winked at William, as she stood up to go check on the potatoes that were being to send the delicious smell into the room. Once in the kitchen, Sara used the Krin to make herself the exact copy of Anita, hairdo, and all. Feeling much better, she checked the potatoes, and started heating the pan to cook the crumbed chicken portions. She called out to William whether he or Mi Ling was joining them for dinner, as she tried to estimate how much meat would be required.

William came in with Anita following. At first, Anita pouted, seeing Sara was upstaging her. William looked on at the two identical women with a smile, before saying, it looked like Mi Ling would be joining them for dinner.

Anita, (Kevin) decided to go back upstairs and change, seeing Sara was busy in the kitchen. She did save her image in the Krin, so that her work wasn't all for nothing, then went and raided Sara's closet for something she knew Sara hadn't worn yet. Later, Sara (Kevin) came downstairs and flounced into the kitchen wearing a delightfully ornate gown in white satin. All it needed was white gloves and a veil and it would have suitable as a wedding gown. The real Sara looked daggers for a second, before seeing the humour of the situation. She hugged Anita, or was it 'herself?'

"Like it Anita?" asked the real Anita to Sara, sending her the challenge.

"Oh Sara, it's just you," gushed Sara, playing along.

Mi Ling, laughed, William having changed while Anita was upstairs becoming Sara.

"Up to our old tricks, I see, the old who's fooling who game,"

"Well, seeing she stole my best look," here, the pretend Sara tried to look hurt at the faux Anita. "Then I can get my own back and steal her wardrobe," she sniffed, trying to keep up the, "I'm hurt," look.

"Women!" sighed Mi Ling, throwing her arms up in the air in defeat.

That one word, coming from the epitome of femininity that William was now wearing with such grace, cracked the twins up. They hugged each other, as they tried to regain their composure.

"I love this," admitted the real Anita come Kevin. "How long do you think we will fool Julie and Maggie?"

"Well, sister mine, it depends on how well you play me, doesn't it, but I doubt it will be as long as you think," giggled the real Sara.

When Julie and Maggie announced themselves at the top of the stairs, dinner was ready to be served. Julie had raided Sara's closet and was wearing a turquoise gown in silk with an asymmetrical hemline that showed more leg on one side than on the other. She had managed to give herself an updo of her own, which while not as ornate as the one Tyrissa had fashioned, still looked respectable, given the time. Maggie was wearing a new outfit too, one she hadn't worn yet. It was a yellow sun frock with a white bow at the back and had little kittens chasing each other, around the hemline.

They waited till everyone gathered to watch them descend, before starting downstairs. Julie looked at Anita, thinking she was Sara, saying she hoped that she didn't mind her borrowing her clothes.

Anita, acting for Sara, said it wasn't a problem, as her sister was always borrowing her stuff. Sara giggled, thinking 'how true was that.'

Maggie once she reached the bottom of the stairs ran giggling to Anita and launched herself into the ever-welcoming arms.

"I love this game your playing," she whispered in Anita's ear. "Is mommy going to be my daddy when auntie Anita leaves?"

Anita was shocked that Maggie had seen through her disguise as if it wasn't there.

"Um, no- we are just playing with Julie, to see if she can tell," answered Anita softly. "How did you know so quick honey?"

"Your auras," answered Maggie, as if it was as plain and simple.

"Aura's? Oh boy!" muttered Anita, in shock.

To be continued.
