The Grass is Greener              by: Paul G Jutras

 

Part 3

After talking to mom and dad, Tom went in for electrolysis every weekend for the next several months. 30 minute laser treatments of the face and hours of body hair removal. Mom was especially pleased at the results. After Mom signed the consent form, Tom began hormones. He'd be injected with a shot when he first got up and just before bed.

After a couple of months, Tom's body changed in ways he couldn't image before. Tom's mother was pleased enough to let Tom just to wear pants. With his hair straight and shoulder length, he wore a necklace with a white shirt with the word MORGAN in dark bold letters and matching pants.

"You look great." Steve said one day to Tom as Tom had developed a look that made Stacy extremely. As the two walked down the hall arm in arm, Stacy slammed her locker door in angry.

"The freak." Stacy gritted her teeth. "Both him and his sister. Stacy rolled her eyes and sat bitterly throughout her classes that day. On the way home she saw a eighty year old woman heading pass her on the side walk. Sticking her leg, she tripped the woman, wishing it was Tom.

She was still close enough to hear Tom and the cheerleaders practicing. With Pom-poms in hand, they leapt in the air and split on the ground. Tom didn't like cheerleading at first, but it really started to grow on him.

"Give me a D!" Tom shouted.

"Give me an R!" another girl shouted.

"Give me and A!" yelled Tom's new best friend, Karen.

When they finished, they spelled out the word DRAGONS, they then grouped together and formed a human pyramid with Tom on the bottom and Karen on top. It took Tom awhile to learn how to help the others into the pyramid without putting down his pom-poms.

Seeing Steve, waving to him, Tom dropped his stuff and ran over for a kiss. He then ran across the football field to the ladies locker room. A quick shower so not to show up sweating at the local pizza place, she changed into a flowing purple sundress made of silk.

"Here you go." The waiter said as Tom had only one slice instead of a whole pizza. Since the hormones he started to watch his weight. He scuffled his feet a little under the table before kicking off his heels. He ran his nylon coated foot up Steve's pant leg in a playful game.

"Thanks." Tom said, taking a bit of the food. He really like the pineapple and pepperoni. It was a great pizza date and was amazed at how much he now enjoyed being a woman. He couldn't wait until his mother could legally swap his and Tammy names so that he'd be legally a girl and Tammy was legally a guy.

Stacy nibbled her lower lip from a dark corner. She couldn't stand Steve being with a she-male like Tom. She knew that Tom now thought of himself as a girl and for all rights was a girl. It was hard for her to have Steve taken from her by anyone.

"Stacy, hi." Tom said when he noticed her trying to pretend she didn't see them together. Taking out a compact, Stacy checked her make up and then looked up.

"Oh, it's you!" she said with a grimace. "I was wondering if Steve even remembered I existed now that you're in his life." She got up and left The Pizza Palace. "You stole my life with Steve, by steeling my man."

"Hey!" Tom protested. "It's not like I expected things to happen this way.

Stacy smiled at herself, anticipating the moment. She'd never known a woman who didn't respond to her suffering routine. She didn't give damn if she had Steve or not. Just as long as nobody else got him away from her. When she turned around, Tom and Steve were both gone.

"What a freak!" Stacy said to herself as she stormed out of the place. She went home, threw herself face down on her bed and started to cry into her pillow. When her mother called her to supper, she just told her that she didn't want any. An even that made her mother very puzzled.

A breeze rustled the leaves of an oak tree in Stacy's front yard. She watched as Tom and Steve walked down the sidewalk pass her house. She skipped up the walk way and waved to the two of them. She grabbed Tom's hair, which was now in pig tails and gave them a yank.

"Uhh!" Tom groaned ecstatically. In the next instant, Tom felt fainted and collapsed in Steve's hand. Anything Stacy tried to do just brought the two closer together .Feeling suddenly sorry for Tom, she fanned him in her hands.

The weather was cool, but Stacy was fuming enough to cook an egg on her forehead. She marched down the street toward school, to engross in her own thoughts to say hi to her friends. What could she do or should she do to break the two up. She started to feel like she was wasting her time trying.

When she put her stuff in her locker, she turned around wildly, franticly for Tom and Steve. They were nowhere in the hall. Then a horrible noise distracted her. The principal voice came over the loud speaker saying that due to some problems in the air units the school was closed for the day.

That was then Stacy thought that other people had it worst than she had it. She was trying to do anything to get what she wants. She realized how wrong she was keeping Tom and Stacy apart. When she found them on the way home, she apologized.

After Tom and her sister legally exchanged names, Steve and the new Tammy graduated and got themselves married. Since either of them could have any kids they ended up adopting and being the perfect family.

THE END
