It was to be a great vacation for the whole family: Paul and Janet Richards and their children Jeremy, 11 , and Jennifer 9 were at last going to have a long awaited trip. They planned to go to Disneyworld, and were going to spend two whole weeks in Florida. Paul was a corporate lawyer, and it had been difficult finding the time off to go. ………But then a week before they were to go, Paul’s firm had a large litigation suit dumped on them.

"Oh Paul, what am I supposed to tell the children ?" Janet cried.

"You will just have to go without me. It’s impossible for me to get away now."

"Oh, … but Paul, … you know what a handful Jeremy can be. He listens to you." Janet complained.

"I’m sorry, but you’ll just have to manage. Why don’t you ask your sister Charlene to go in my place."

Janet sighed, … and nodded. She would just have to do the best she could.

So it was that Janet, with her sister Charlene, flew to Florida with her children. … Jeremy and Jennifer were quite excited, and their exuberance and constant questions already were exhausting Janet by the time they landed in Orlando.

Janet had thought her children couldn’t get any more excited, …. until they pulled into the Disneyworld hotel complex. They bounced and yelled, and screamed out a dozen questions a minute…. It was going to be a tiring trip… but hopefully fun too.

Since it was Saturday, and tomorrow was Sunday, Janet decided they would go to Cypress Gardens on Sunday to avoid the large Disney weekend crowd. They had plenty of time, and the weekdays would be less stressful, she reasoned She hadn’t counted on the children’s unlimited fervor though; and the next morning you would have thought she had personally shot Mickey Mouse, … from the reaction from her kids…. Janet knew she was right, though, and besides, it was her vacation too, and she wanted to see Cypress Gardens, and the children would like it too, once they were there….

Jennifer was somewhat convinced, but Jeremy was fit to be tied. He moaned and whined and complained loudly about this turn of events, and expressed his displeasure every two minutes, … and in-between his complaining he worked to convince his sister also they should be riding Space Mountain right now.

Both Janet and Charlene were nearly frazzled by the time they drove the short distance to Winter Park by Jeremy’s incessant whining. Jennifer, too, had been persuaded this was unfair, and had joined in….. that is until they entered the park.

The females were immediately enamored with the beauty of it all. There were flowers everywhere… and several pretty, college-age girls dressed in delightfully colorful southern belle dresses with pretty ribbon and lace bonnets and their hair all done up. Jeremy was not impressed…. even if the girls were quite pretty…. They were not equal to space mountain…. And so his complaints continued….. and continued… and he found only fault in the flowers and frills … and girlishness of it all…

Now the park had a feature… For a price they offered the opportunity for young girls to dress up as little belles themselves. When Jennifer discovered this, Jeremy completely lost any hope of his sister’s alliance. But it was not only Jennifer who thought it was darling, but Janet and Charlene as well, … so off they went to the building where they would turn Jennifer into a lovely little southern belle.

As they approached the shop a young girl of about 7 came out with her mother and older sisters; .. and she was all dressed in a long hoop-skirted dress with lots of ruffles and a huge yellow satin bow at the back of her soft yellow, taffeta and organza gown. Janet, Charlene and Jennifer all swooned, cooing and fawning…. Jeremy thought he was going to gag ! He was quick to degrade the girlish frills, making fun of such girlish nonsense. His mother scolded him, for what little good it did.

Janet had to physically force the reluctant boy into the small house with the all the gowns and petticoats hanging, with all the ribbons and lace trimmed accessories so abundantly displayed. Jennifer, and her mother and aunt sighed and purred over all the lacy frills.

Inside, there were four young, pretty girls to help the girls dress, and put their hair up, and to put them in a little makeup; and Jennifer was enthusiastically greeted.

"….bunch of dumb, sissy girl junk !" Spat Jeremy.

The girls looked at Jeremy disdainfully, and hugged Jennifer.

"That will be enough, Jeremy !" His mother yelled.

"…STUPID…. STUPID … GIRL CRAP !" Jeremy reiterated.

"Jeremy !" Aunt Charlene scolded.

Jeremy sulked in the corner as the girls began to work over Jennifer. They picked out a pretty light blue dress with layers of ruffles and a delicate lace edging with a large white satin sash that had a bow and long ends that draped down over the full skirt. Jennifer slipped out of her top and skirt and the girls sat her at the make up table as they deftly worked their magic with a couple of curling irons, and fixed her rather long hair with front curls and gave her sausage curls in the back, pulled to one side and fixed in ribbons. They put mascara and lipstick and a little pink blush to her cheeks before they helped her into a white hoop petticoat with layered ruffles and a ribbon bow … followed by the baby blue dress. The girls fussed over her, primping and complementing her on what a pretty girl she was.

"Jenny’s a sissy fruit plate …. A sissy .. sissy fruity cake … " Jeremy derided from the corner.

"Jeremy ….. stop…. " Janet admonished.

But Jeremy rarely listened to his mother.

"Jeremy, … maybe we should put you in one of these pretty dresses…" His mother chided.

The girls all giggled and began teasing Jeremy.

"Yeah …. Like I would wear that dumb, sissy junk !" He sneered.

"Girls, … what do you think ? Do you have a dress for miss Jeremy here ?" Janet asked.

The girls all howled with laughter.

"Oh, … I wish we could …. It would serve him right, … but I don’t think the park would permit us to do that…" Carolyn, one of the girls responded.

"See ! …. Ha ! Even dumb, sissy girls have SOME brains ! I’d never do that it a jillion years ! Only stupid girls would wear such icky crap as that !" Jeremy yelled.

"Boy , …. He’s asking for it …" Chrissy hissed.

"Go for it sis." Charlene whispered.

"Girls, … I’ll take full responsibility. I’ll make sure the dresses and everything is returned in perfect condition, … and pay for any damages if any." Janet pleaded, suddenly finding herself wanting to see her son taken down a peg and put into such pretty feminine trappings.

The girls all looked at each other, and giggled. …. Jeremy suddenly felt vulnerable. Before he knew it, he was surrounded and being ushered toward the back of the room. His mother and aunt pulled at his clothes; and despite his struggles he found himself standing there in his underwear and socks shivering with some trepidation.

The young girls giggled with satisfied glee as they sat their young male victim on the stool at the hair and makeup counter. They began combing and brushing out his shoulder length brown hair, while giggling girlishly at his predicament.

"Oh, .. you are going to look so sweet, Jeremy." Kathy teased.

"Oh, … yes you ARE !" Chrissy squealed. "You’ll just make the sweetest, SISSY girl !"

Jeremy turned a crimson red, and made an attempt to fend off the fussing females.

"Jeremy ! … If you don’t sit there and behave you are NEVER going to go to Disneyworld ! … Is that clear ?" His mother chastened.

Jeremy hadn’t heard his mother use quite that harsh a tone before, … and he realized she meant it. He wasn’t sure if he could stop them anyway, and to jeopardize Disneyworld at this point just seemed pointless, so he stopped, …. and tears began to well.

Chrissy used the curling iron and setting jell to give him spiral curls at his temples … just like his sister’s, and then they put some curls in the rest of his shoulder length hair, and pinned it up high on his head. Darlene then handed Kathy a hair-piece of sausage curls that they pinned to his hair in back, slightly off center, and Chrissy added a large pink satin bow at the base, with the ends dangling down the same length as the curls, to his shoulders. The girls all cooed, … just as he had heard his mother, aunt and sister coo over the sissy girls leaving as they came in.

Chrissy held his chin and looked him over before picking up a thin tube, and began applying mascara, … lengthening and darkening his lashes. Next came a little light blue eyeshadow, …

"..’.to accentuate those pretty blue eyes" she giggled.

Kathy used a small brush to apply light pink blusher to his cheeks.

"I don’t think he really needs this." She laughed. "I think he will be rosey cheeked on his own. … Oh Jeremy, you blush so girlishly."

"…’ do not !" He protested.

It was true. Jeremy’s cheeks were light red in color, and they felt hot from embarrassment.

Kathy picked up a pink lipstick, and the girls all swooned with delight as she turned his lips a nice .. girlish, … sissy pink.

They all giggled and tittered as they led him to another room where more frilly gowns hung about on the walls.

There were many dresses there, mostly of one color, some pastels, and some brighter, all with ruffles and ribbon sashes; but Carolyn, after sizing Jeremy up, went over and selected a pink, peach, and ivory flower print dress. Jeremy let out a low groan as she held it up to him…. The girls all giggled and squealed delightfully.

"Yes, … I think this size 10 girls will fit just right." She said.

Chrissy pulled a white hooped petticoat from the wall, and they slipped it over the cowering boy’s head, and tied it around his waist, …. to fits of giggles. Next, the dress was lowered carefully in place, … and poor Jeremy was fit to be tied, .. and squirmed helplessly as the girls buttoned it up the back, and smoothed and fussed over the pretty dress, picking at the ruffled bodice, and adjusting the shoulders of the dress just so. Chrissy slipped a pink satin ribbon around Jeremy’s neck … and tied a bow.

The girls all screamed their praises. …..What a pretty …… sissy girl he looked……’ He was just adorable !

The girls congratulated themselves, and were just having such a feminine bonding session, … having feminized and subdued such an aggrieves young male. Jeremy quietly floated back to a wall, where he found a chair, … and sat… …………. WELL … his dress and petticoat flew up, exposing himself clear to his waist…… Poor Jeremy didn’t have a clue for a moment just what had happened…. The young girls laughed.

"Jeremy ! ….. Honestly ! ….. You can’t sit like that. You have to be more careful; … and …. Oh dear, what are we going to do about those boy’s underwear ? What if this happens outside ? ….. Jeremy, …. Everyone’s going to see you aren’t a girl. What do you think they are going to say ?"

The girls helped push the skirt in place, and as the skirt came down it revealed the frightened and very red face of Jeremy.

Jennifer shook her head and tsk. tsked … at the awkward, clumsy boy.

"I know", Chrissy suddenly cried.

She went into a drawer and pulled out a long pair of white pantalets with many rows of lace at the bottom with ribbon bows over the lace.

"Here, these will cover things up." She announced, and the girls proceeded to pull them on Jeremy under his petticoat.

"Oh dear !" Cried his mother, looking at Jeremy’s stocking feet, and then at his black and white boy’s sneakers sitting across the room.

"Those are going to look awful with a dress." She said, pointing at the sneakers.

The girls groaned in agreement.

Chrissy smiled, and slipped off her white sandals. "I bet these will fit her."

Jeremy was feeling very ill …. and weak…. How much of this can he endure he wondered.

They pulled off his socks and slipped the sandals on, … and they fit…. just right…, and they gleefully buckled them.

"Oh, …. But a proper little girl would wear polish with sandals." Chrissy teased.

"Well, … I have some perfect pink nail polish." Kathy happily announced pulling a bottle from a drawer, to giggling squeals from the other girls.

"May we ?" Chrissy asked his mother.

"Why not ? …. And you may as well do his fingernails too while you’re at it."

The girls squealed, … and tears began trickling down Jeremy’s cheeks. Chrissy wiped his cheeks with a tissue, and sat next to him, retouching his mascara and eye makeup.

Chrissy was a very pretty, petite girl, with long, light sandy blonde hair. Jeremy had noticed her as soon as he had entered. He immediately had a little crush on her, although boys at 11 do not admit to such things …. even to themselves. Wearing her shoes and having her tenderly fuss over him was very pleasant, … even if it was to put him in girlie makeup. ….. He was all flustered and confused …. His mind spun like a top; and his heart raced as Chrissy held his hand and turned his nails a pretty shade of sissy pink.

They stood him in the middle of the room and had him turn around, while they fussed and squealed at what a cute little girl he looked to be.

His aunt pulled out her camera, and began taking pictures…to Jeremy’s dismay.

"We need a name. We can’t call you Jeremy now. ….. Hmmm How about … a nice southern name … Ashley ….. Ashley Beth. …. Ashley Beth, and Jennifer Lynn ….. Let’s go girls ….. Your adoring crowds await…’ ’ such beautiful young ladies….. " Janet swooned, … and giggled.

They were all just so pleased at how sweet the feminized boy looked, .. and at having the last laugh at his annoyingly boyish behavior.

Jennifer Lynn squeezed through the door in her wide dress, followed by her older "sister" Ashley Beth. Janet made Ashley take his younger sister’s hand once they had cleared the doorway, the bright pink nail polish showing up more distinctly in the sunlight.

Ashley Beth looked up to see the crowds of people stop in their tracks as they stared at the two little, lovely "belles".

"Oh how sweet they look" ….. "Aren’t they adorable ?" ……" such sweet, darling girls" ….. " mommy, … look … they’re pretty "…… "beautiful dresses"…….. " oh …. how lovely…" The crowd murmured, to Jeremy’s complete embarrassment.

There was only a small step in front of the shop, but it still took two hands to lift the dress as they walked out into the swooning crowd. Jeremy reached up to his throat, feeling the smooth ribbon there before remembering what it was…. and blushed all the more at the thoughts of how very girlish it looked. He wore a pink ribbon choker and a large pink ribbon bow in his curls…. He looked down at flowered ruffles and a large shiny flowered skirt. He felt the wide ribbon sash around his waist. ….. He was dressed like such a sissy girl ! He gently picked up his skirt, and walked quietly along-side his sister in dainty steps, a raging blush to his face.

Several women together rushed up to greet them.

"What wonderful, beautiful girls you are !…. You both look so very sweet !"

Jennifer Lynn curtsied and thanked the ladies. Ashley Beth stood in stunned silence.

"Ashley Beth, …. thank the nice ladies." His mother prodded, smiling.

"Oh …. Uh …. Thank you." He stammered, … wobbling a late curtsy.

His mother, aunt and sister stifled giggles.

"Can we take a picture of you girls ?"

" Would that be all right ? ….. You have such lovely daughters." The women cooed.

"Oh yes. …Girls, … why don’t you sit over there under the tree while the women take their pictures ?"

"Jennifer Lynn took her sister’s hand and held her skirt with the other as they walked over to the bench."

Ashley Beth looked apprehensive as she placed both pink tipped hands over the front of her dress and slowly descended. She smiled as the skirt stayed down, and the two gorgeous dresses melted into the sides of each other.

The women were soon joined by others with cameras, as strangers took the opportunity to photograph the two sweet "sisters" in their lovely gowns. Of course they all remarked what pretty girls they were; … and Aunt Charlene took more pictures as well.

Getting up was yet another bit of a struggle for the girls in the unfamiliar gowns. The front of Ashley Beth’s dress tipped up a foot or so, and several women squealed at the sight of the pretty, lacy bottoms of her pantalets, … and the fact that she was even wearing such endearingly old fashioned apparel. The women were just delighted with titillation. …. And to Ashley Beth’s mortification, they made her pick up her skirt so they could have another peek, much to his sister’s, mother’s, and aunt’s glee. They were having a wonderful time, despite the fact they were making such little progress around the park.

They finally began their slow stroll, walking about the beautiful flowers and plants, … often having to stop for women to admire their pretty daughter’s and their dresses. Ashley Beth was uncommonly quiet. Just like the old fashioned girl she portrayed, she never spoke unless spoken to, quite contrary to the whining Jeremy. This was hardly missed by his mother and aunt.

They came up on a gift shop as they strolled. Ashley Beth and Jennifer Lynn could only look in. Their dresses were much too cumbersome and wide to go in. Janet and Charlene went in, however, and came out with two gold charm bracelets with the single charm of the Cypress Gardens symbol. They fastened them on to the "girls" wrists. Jennifer Lynn squealed in delight.

They stopped at a outdoor café next for something to eat. Everyone graciously made room for the lovely dressed girls in their wide dresses; and they all made a fuss over them, snapping more pictures. Everyone watched as the two girls took their seats …gently and delicately. Janet and Charlene were so enjoying every moment of this, even more than Jennifer Lynn, and most definitely more than Ashley Beth….. Ashley Beth was every bit the young lady though, as she sat eating her sandwich and soft drink. Her pink fingernails, the dainty bracelet around her wrist, and pink lipstick rimmed glass were constant reminders of just who she was supposed to be. Jeremy was determined he was not going to be seen as a boy, … clumsy or otherwise. She was a dainty girl…. At least for now. This too came as a surprise to his mother and aunt. They had never seen Jeremy behave and eat so mannerly.

They made their way back to the girls at the shop. The two hours they had to rent the dresses seemed to roll quickly bye, … even for Ashley Beth, … that is, once the long, first 15 minutes had passed.

There were two other little girls in the shop when they arrived, and the shop was quite full, what with the two sets of parents, and their sisters, and one brother. Jeremy was in a panic ! Were they all about to see this frilly "girl" turn back into a boy ? … Oh NO ! They would all laugh at and ridicule him as such a sissy !

The girls were delighted to see Ashley Beth and Jennifer Lynn, and barefooted Chrissy gave Janet a knowing wink. Everyone in the room ooohed and aaaahed at the girls and their lovely dresses as they arrived; and it gave Ashley Beth one last opportunity to practice her curtsy….. and the young girls giggled

Chrissy ushered Ashley Beth into the back room, with Jennifer Lynn following, where she and Kathy began helping them out of their dresses.

"How was it girls ? Did you have fun Ashley Beth ? … Jennifer Lynn ? Oooo such pretty little girls with such lovely names…. " Chrissy giggled, delightfully.

Jennifer responded by saying she loved it. Ashley Beth was silent.

Once the dresses were off, soon to be followed by the large hooped petticoats, Ashley Beth was quick to shed the lacy pantalets, … but now what ? He wished there was a back door to slip out of to avoid the people in the front.

"Umm … Mrs. Richards, … we sell lovely souvenir T-shirts." Chrissy suggested.

She held up a pink one. It had a scene of two southern Belles with the Gazebo that was at the center of the park … the same design that was on their charms, … and the words, … "I was a Southern Belle at Cypress Gardens" on the front and back. It had a dainty ruffled edge to the collar and ribbon bow in front. They came in several colors and sizes.

Just what I need, …. Jeremy groaned.

"You know, … if … uh .. Ashley here keeps her hair up, and wears this T-shirt … the shorts and shoes could be overlooked. Lots of young girls wear clunky boy shoes and the … shorts … well … they could get bye." Chrissy suggested as she unpinned the ribbon and sausage curls from Ashley Beth’s hair.

"Let’s see" Janet replied.

She took the T-shirt and pulled it over Jeremy’s head. Jeremy looked down, dismayed at the dainty lace ruffle and ribbon bow on the pink T-shirt.

She then handed Jeremy his shorts, and the boy quickly pulled them on.

"Yes, … I see. I guess he could …’ … Jeremy…" She whispered. "Do you want to walk around as a boy with curled hair, or do you want to finish out the day as Ashley ?" She asked.

Now, … normally this would be a very easy question, but the problem remained as to how he was going to walk out as a boy when the crowded front room had all seen him go in as a girl. It would be embarrassing; …… and, after all, he had passed for a girl outside to the crowds of people. …… The next few words that he uttered were unbelievable to him.

"I … uh .. umm … I’ll … I uh … I’ll go as .. Ashley." He muttered.

The prideful boy would rather wear girl clothes, and be seen as a girl, than be seen as a sissy boy who had worn such girlish frills. …. He had no idea what this would cost him…

His mother looked a little surprised, but smiled and tugged at the pink, frilled T-shirt.

Oh, .. good, … then you will be expected to behave as a good little girl also …." She stated, smiling.

"Oh, … that’s wonderful Ashley Beth." Chrissy sang. "You can keep your ribbon choker sweetie, and let’s just freshen your lipstick. You must have been eating. … And we don’t have to remove your pretty nail polish either."

She put fresh pink lipstick on Ashley Beth, and straightened the pink bow at her neck, which now went so sweetly with her pink T-shirt, which matched her new charm bracelet.

After Jennifer got dressed in her new souvenir T-shirt, a yellow one, they walked out into the front room, where the girls were putting on their petticoats. They all looked at them in surprise.

"Wow, … what a difference ! You girls looked so elegant and ladylike in your fancy dresses. You look so different now." One of the mothers commented, and others nodded in agreement.

"I can hardly wait now to see what Lindsey will look like in her dress."

The four of them all waited to see the two girls don their southern belle gowns … and complemented them on how pretty they looked. Jer…. er .. Ashley noted the girls didn’t curtsy.

They said goodbye and thank you to the girls at the shop, and Janet gave them a nice tip, even though it was against the rules…

They walked out into the sunshine, … Janet, her sister Charlene, and her two "daughters" Jennifer and Ashley.

Jennifer said she needed to use the restroom. She had managed to hold it while in the cumbersome dress, but now had to go, so … all four of them headed to the women’s room. …. Ashley stopped at the entrance.

"Come along …. Ashley", his mother prodded; and the "girl" with the glowing pink cheeks was ushered into the women’s rest room.

They strolled about the park, and Ashley was a model little girl, very quiet and behaved. Janet and Charlene were enjoying the flowers, the park and the quiet pleasant company of such well behaved …… "girls".

It was a couple hours then when they left Cypress Gardens, and looked for a restaurant.

Just a couple miles away Janet pulled into the parking lot of a department store.

"Come on, there are a few things I want to get before we eat."

Ashley wasn’t too pleased about going into yet another public place to be seen as a girl; but he had been at a crowded park and was ok, so he guessed a few more people wouldn’t matter. He wasn’t even bothered when his mother led them into the girl’s department. It wasn’t until she began looking at skirts and blouses and dresses did it dawn on him what she might be up to, … and he didn’t like it ! He began squirming, and then whining, and then pleading for them to get out of there and go eat. The more he whined, however, the more his mother picked out to buy: …. And then she called for him.

"Ashley… come here. I want to see if this will fit you." She called calmly.

It was a frilly blouse ! Jeremy was suddenly panic stricken ! How far was this going to go ? He whined louder, and squirmed and stomped his feet.

"No …, MOM ! Not girlie thiings ! No……. " He pleaded.

"The more you carry on like this the longer you are going to stay dressed just as you are. Just keep it up, and you will be wearing dresses when we return back home. Is that what you want ?" She whispered.

Well, it was like his energy switch was just turned off. He slowly shook his head, and said no more. He stood as his mother held up blouses and skirts up to him, and a lace and ribboned pink and cream dress as well. Jennifer giggled as Jeremy’s face turned bright red. Janet even took him into the changing room for girls, and made him try a few things on.

Before they left she had purchased several blouses and skirts, two pair of girl’s shorts, two adorable dresses, a pair of flower print sneakers, and several pair of lacy anklets.

Next she led them over to the lingerie section. The first thing she picked out was two packages of flowered panties, and then several pretty girl’s vests or camisoles his size. Jennifer giggled with delight. Janet sorted through some slips, and picked out a few pretty styles; and then she even paused over a package of two white training bras, looking Jeremy up and down before deciding against them. Jennifer might get jealous and want her own, … and Jennifer was too young yet for that, she thought. Jeremy hadn’t seen what his mother had contemplated, for he had followed his mother around while staring mostly at the floor. His mother then took him by the hand over to pick out a pink nylon nighty. It had ruffles and lace and a pink ribbon bow at the bust.

It was a quite subdued Ashley that walked out of the store; and a much bemused sister and aunt.

They were half-way through dinner before Jeremy spoke.

"Mom, …. am I … really .. going .. to have to wear … all those … girlie clothes ?"

"Why, yes Ashley dear. You will look so pretty, … don’t you think ?"

Jeremy just pushed the food around on his plate, not uttering a word.

Janet thought the silence was paradise; … and smiled too that his table manners and demeanor had improved immeasurably. …. Wow, .. he is under control. This is going to be wonderful, pleasant vacation, she thought.

"You looked so pretty today Ashley…." Jennifer added.

Janet and Charlene smiled at each other.

His mother, aunt and sister chatted merrily about the beautiful flowers … and dresses, and their pleasant time at Cypress Gardens on the way back to the Disney hotel. Jennifer had had a wonderful time, .. as did her mother and aunt. Ashley sat silently, looking at his pink fingernails, contemplating his sissified fate he now faced for the next several days. It felt like he had been doused with ice-water, …and he was still struggling to catch his breath.

Once in their room, Janet took Ashley and Jennifer into the bath where she removed their makeup with cold cream. She took Ashley’s hair down, shampooed it, and then set it in curlers. Ashley sat silently, not making a sound. She brought Ashley’s new pink nighty in, and Ashley was told to wash and get ready for bed.

Jeremy looked so cute, subdued, and genteel as she exited the bath in the pink nylon nightie with the large pink ribbon bow and the streaming ribbons. His mother and aunt smiled, .. and Jennifer giggled.

Janet removed Ashley’s curlers and brushed her hair before tucking her two daughters in.

The smooth nylon nightie felt so strange and sissified, … but not unpleasant to Jeremy as he laid between the fresh, crisp sheets.

The next morning came early and quickly, and Ashley was the last one sent into the bathroom to wash and dress.

He couldn’t believe he was going to Disneyland, .. but …. as a girl ! His mother was in control of all his clothes, and he saw no recourse. She had laid out a pair of flower print panties, and a sissy girl’s undershirt, … a camisole, with dainty lace trim at the top with a ribbon bow in the middle. The straps were thin ribbons. He put them on, and stepped timidly out of the bathroom. They were all dressed, and his mother slipped a short white slip with a lace hem over his head and pulled it to his waist. Next was a short pink and white skirt that came to the middle of his thighs, much like the one his sister wore. Janet then had him slip into a short sleeved white blouse. The peter pan collar had embroidered pink flowers and was trimmed with dainty ruffled lace. His mother buttoned it up the back while commenting on what a cute blouse it was. Jennifer tried to stifle her giggles, putting her hand up to her mouth. He looked at his sister, and wished he could wear a less girlie, cotton pullover like she wore. He sat on the edge of the bed as his mother helped him slip on the lace-trimmed anklets and his flower print sneakers. She quickly brushed and combed his hair, arranging his new curls; and then they were off … for breakfast …. with Mickey … and Minnie….

Janet and Charlene were already marveling at the change in their new relationship with their new daughters/nieces….. They were both such constrained young ladies…. Without Jeremy, Jennifer had no one to fight with, or push her into arguments or being bad.

Dressed in a skirt and sissy blouse or no, Jeremy was still quite enthused as they approached the entrance to Disneyland; but instead of insisting on going straight to space mountain like the old Jeremy, …. Ashley was content to see Disneyworld at a slower pace, and enjoy it as it came.

He was surprised that his skirt wasn’t a problem at all, and in fact was a little cooler than shorts, as the breezes swept under his skirt and over the thin, cool nylon panties. He felt almost naked when he sat in the short skirt, with just the thin nylon between him and his seat.

They strolled along Mainstreet, and then on into Fantasyland…. It was mid-morning, and it was after riding "Pirates of the Caribbean" , and "It’s a Small World", and several other rides, that Ashley stood in line for Space Mountain, and scooped his pink skirt as he took his seat.

Near lunchtime they went to the "Castle" to eat, and were disappointed to find it completely booked. Janet made reservations for lunch tomorrow; and Jennifer squealed at the prospect of eating with Snow White…. For today they settled for cheeseburgers at a café. Once again Janet and Charlene were amazed at how daintily Ashley ate, his delicate gold bracelet catching the sunlight. Jeremy barely took notice of how he was dressed as they took in the rides and sights, and only times like this with the slowed pace of eating did the sight of his dainty blouse make him squirm a bit, and subdue his enthusiasm, … along with his boyish petulance.

The afternoon passed pleasantly, and Ashley and Jennifer managed to ride Space Mountain for a second time. They were having a wonderful time.

"I really like you as my sister, Ashley." Jennifer remarked, smiling up at her new big sister.

Ashley couldn’t help it, and smiled back. Jeremy had for the most part only grudgingly put up with his younger sister, and teased her. Now, stuck in girl mode himself, he discovered they could be compatible friends as sisters.

By late afternoon Janet had to at times remind herself that she didn’t, in fact, have two daughters; and Charlene remarked to her sister, in amazement, how much better behaved they both were.

It was nearly 7 PM when they began making their way back to their hotel. They were all tired, and decided to just stop for sandwiches along the way, …. and give their bodies an I o u for a full dinner tomorrow evening….

Ashley was the first into the bath to get ready for bed, but came out a short time later.

"Mom, … will you unbutton me ?" He asked, blushing. He was unfamiliar with not being able to undress himself.

His sister, aunt and mother all smiled at him as he came out of the bath in the pink nightie. His mother lept up and took him back into the bath.

"You’ve been out in the sun all day. We have to condition your hair, and put some moisturizing cream on your face. You have to take care of your skin and hair now, Ashley."

Ashley re-emerged from the bath with her hair set in curlers. She layed down on the bed to watch tv while they all changed for bed, … and curlers or not, fell asleep.

During the night he woke several times from the discomfort of the curlers, but left them in.

Jeremy pleaded with his mother to take the curlers out as soon as she was awake.

Janet obliged, and, wiping the sleep from her eyes, took him into the bath to get ready for another day as Ashley. His mother had a broad smile as she brushed and arranged Ashley’s hair in neat curls. Ashley’s mom then helped her into a yellow and blue flower print blouse and yellow shorts with eyelet lace around the legs.

"Oh Ashley, … don’t you look darling !" His Aunt called as they exited the bathroom.

Ashley sat quietly, looking over his dainty girl clothes as the others got dressed.

Ashley thought he liked wearing the skirt yesterday better. The shorts he now wore were just as girlish, and he found the skirt to be cool and comfortable. He blushed slightly at his thoughts, and at the sight of his lace trimmed shorts.

Jennifer took her sister’s hand as they walked down to breakfast, and smiled at Ashley’s pink fingernails.

"Oh Ashley, your hair looks so pretty today." His mother gushed, as they sat down.

Ashley could only blush, just like the shy girl he appeared, for it was true. He had the cutest curls.

"Yes, it does. .. I can’t believe how pretty and cute she is." His Aunt Charlene commented. …." ..’ and so good. It’s made you so sweet."

"We’ll have to get some pretty hair ribbons. They’d look so pretty with her curls." His mother added. …. And his sister, mother and aunt all smiled. Well, his sister giggled… just a little.

They left breakfast to head to EPCOT; and Ashley was aware of how everyone seemed to smile at him now. It was nice, but also made him a little nervous for some reason.

They went to see "imagination", and Jennifer and Ashley loved it, especially the three-D effects.

Close to noon they took the mono-rail over to the Magic Kingdom where they had reservations at the Castle.

Janet lightly brushed Jennifer and Ashley’s hair as they stood in line. Snow White greeted them, and hugged Jennifer … and Ashley, .. and told them what pretty girls they were.

She was a strikingly pretty girl. She seemed tall to Ashley at 5" 9". She had a glossy royal blue satin ribbon bow in her shiny dark, well kept hair. Her hair ribbon matched her shiny blue dress, and it looked very regal with its large white collar and cape. It had a voluminous skirt that engulfed the children as she hugged them. Boys were more standoffish, so it was mostly the girls that received the welcome hugs, and talked with her.

As they ate Snow White came inside, and came around to the tables. She had "Dopey" with her, … and Ashley noticed how she made a fuss over the younger children, … and the slightly older girls…. like herself. When she came to their table, she came right to Jennifer and Ashley, and again told them how pretty they looked, especially their pretty hair. She presented a dainty gold bracelet to each of them. It had a tiny gold apple charm on it. Jennifer was thrilled. Janet took pictures of her two "daughters" with Snow White … and "Dopey" too…. Snow White lightly hugged the two of them before she went on to the next table. Janet and Charlene beamed radiantly.

They rode a few more rides at Magic Kingdom, and Space Mountain … again… before Janet suggested they go back and swim at the pool. They had stuff they’d like to do in the evening, and didn’t want to get worn out before then. It sounded ok to Jennifer and Ashley.

Back at the Hotel, they realized Ashley had no suit. Janet suggested they go to the shops in the Hotel. Janet found a cute pink and white "Lil Mermaid" one piece suit for Ashley. It had a ruffle at the bosom and a short skirt, and it tied behind the neck. It was a very sweet swim suit. Janet and Charlene loved it. Janet also bought Ashley a pair of white sandals with a bow on the buckle. Ashley was going to need these to wear with her dress for dinner tonight.

They all hurried back to the room to change, to go out by the pool.

It was a wonderful pool ! It had a waterfall, and two slides, and was very nicely landscaped with ferns and flowers. Ashley wasn’t too keen on being in his sissy new swimsuit at first, with the nice neat bow his mother had tied the straps at the back of his neck. He could feel the ends tickle his back, and he looked down on pink ruffles. He got more smiles from those around the pool... Jennifer thought it looked so sweet. She also commented she thought it good and fair that Jeremy had to cover up his chest just as she had always had to do. Still, … the pool was great, … and pink ruffled suit or not, Jeremy had a good time, … even if the small group of boys at the pool looked at him a bit dismissively.

When they returned to their room Janet saw to it both girls washed, and lotioned, and she put Ashley’s hair in curlers again. His mother giggled as she looked at Jeremy and the effects of the sun had left from wearing his suit. He had such cute, girlish tan lines…. Poor Ashley was embarrassed and troubled that he would be marked as a girl when he got home.

"If you are so bothered, you can just lay out in the back yard to even out your tan."

His mother chided. "But I think it’s cute."

Ashley sat in the room in panties with a slip. Janet had slipped it over his head in the bath. It was white with ribbon straps, and had lace on the chest part, and around the hem. It was smooth nylon, like his panties, and it felt nice, … but it looked so girlish… He sighed, … knowing he would be going to dinner in a frilly dress. Aunt Charlene came out of the bath in her bra and slip, and Ashley blushed. The women were so much more relaxed with Ashley. After all. they were all girls now……

Ashley was dressed in a blue taffeta dress with white lace accents. It was slightly lighter blue than Snow White’s Ashley noticed. And then after his mom took his hair down and combed it, she produced a shiny blue satin ribbon which she pulled through Ashley’s hair, and tied a neat bow on top. He pulled on lacy white anklets and his new white sandals with the bows, … and "she" was ready. Ashley looked at the two dainty bracelets that now adorned his wrist, and watched as he swung his hand, making them tinkle against each other.

They went to a very nice restaurant, right there at the hotel. It overlooked the lagoon, and Ashley had this nice, deep down feeling. What he wore was sissy… yes … but it was not uncomfortable, and it felt so dressy… like he (she) was special, and this evening was so special. Once again, those around him smiled at him, his sister and mother and aunt. They all looked nice, but especially Ashley.

The waiter called him "miss" and was so respectful. It was being a pretty nice vacation, in spite of the calamity that befallen him. It was very confusing to Jeremy. He was liking Ashley, and the last two days. And then too his mom , aunt, and sister liked Ashley. The acceptance and love he was now getting, instead of resentment at his boyish petulance felt nice.

The cap and highlight of the evening was a lighted boat show. They ate desert as the prettily lighted boats paraded outside the restaurant windows.

Ashley felt good after, as they walked along the paths around the pretty lagoon with all the lights and the excitement around them. Even his dress felt nice, as the cool evening breezes floated his pretty dress around him. Instead of feeling imprisoned in the sissy girl clothes he felt such freedom as the nice evening currents danced over his nyloned bottom. He felt pampered and good as he slipped into his pink nylon nightie and crawled into bed.

The days that followed were met eagerly by Jeremy as Ashley. He often had the thought he was enjoying the Magic Kingdom even more … as a girl.

He and Jennifer wore their Cypress Gardens T-shirts and mothers and a few girls approached them several times to ask about their adventures. Janet, Charlene and Jennifer were always happy to tell them all about it … in detail…. Except for the Jeremy part, of course.

When it came time to leave, it was Ashley that got on the plane in a pretty blouse, pink skirt, and white sandals. Ashley was apprehensive about going home dressed as such a sissy girl; but his mother reassured him. He would be able to wear his boy clothes again once they were home.

"It’s such a shame." Charlene lamented. "Ashley’s so good, .. and so sweet. …. What are you going to do with all her pretty clothes ?"

Janet smiled.

"Well, … Jennifer will grow into them. Besides, … they were well worth it… even for a short time." She sighed.

It wasn’t until they pulled into the garage at home did Ashley run up to his room, to change into Jeremy.

Janet packed Ashley’s things and gave them to her sister to take home.

"Charlene, … hold onto these for me, … will you." She asked.

 

Jeremy’s father didn’t take much notice, but days later suddenly expressed his amazement at his son’s improved behavior.

"Yes, …" Janet replied. " He’s seen things differently….. "

And she smiled……..

It took Jeremy several weeks after returning to school, and being around his friends before some of his boyish brashness returned. One day he promised to do his chores as asked, and then sassed his mother when she asked why they hadn’t been done.

That Friday she put Jeremy into the car straight from school, and headed over to her sister’s house.

"Mom, … where are you taking me ?" Jeremy questioned.

"You are going to stay at your Aunt Charlene’s this weekend, …. and every weekend until you learn some manners……" His mother stated, nearly finishing the sentence with .."again".

"Well, hello …. Ashley…. " Charlene greeted coyly as they entered her house.

Jeremy suddenly turned ashen. He squirmed, and looked around for some escape as his aunt took him by the hand, and led him upstairs.

"No……", was all he could get out.

He was stripped, and made to bathe, … in a bubble bath that smelled so girlie. His mom and aunt set his hair in curlers, … and then took him into the bedroom to dress.

He quickly recognized the dainty underthings he saw she had laid out for him; but then his eyes got big when his aunt held up a white cotton and lace garment.

"Hold out your arms …. Ashley." She cooed.

But he just stood there, paralyzed. His mother lifted his arms for him.

"Look Ashley, … your first training bra. Isn’t it pretty ?" His mother asked.

His aunt giggled softly as she hooked the elastic cotton and lycra band around his chest. He looked down at the little ribbon bow…..

Ashley stood silently as they finished dressing him in the slip and frilly dress with the dainty lace around the collar and edges of the puff sleeves. Charlene slipped his lacy anklets on followed by his white sandals; and then they took his hair down, and tied a pretty white satin ribbon bow in his cute curls.

His aunt and mother took him downstairs, where Charlene produced a lacy white apron, with ruffles, and slipped it on him, tying it in a neat bow in back.

"There, … now you can help me with dinner, and … some of the other chores around here, ..like the dishes and laundry. … Do you know how to sew dear ?"

Jeremy slowly shook his head. …. His aunt looked down at him … expectantly.

"Uh … no, Aunt Charlene", Ashley responded, ……... and curtsied lightly.
