The thought that she was dead didn't really bother me at this time. As I approached the house I could see Kate's bike was already lying by the front door, I knew she would be heading for the broken window so I quickly dismounted and ran to the side of the house. "Billy!" Came her voice from the garden area, I quickly looked to see if Cassandra was playing with her voice again, but I saw Kate by the steps going down into the garden area, I walked over to her. She was dressed in a different blouse and skirt, she really did look pretty, but from the look on her face she didn't like this. "You're still looking at me!" she accused me. "I'm sorry Kate; I suppose you're still having problems?" I apologised to her. She nodded, unable to look me in the eyes, "Every time I try to pick up my jeans I hear his voice, and my hands can't touch them. It's so infuriating; if he wasn't dead I would kill him!" I wanted to tell her how nice she looked but I knew she would just snap at me, which I didn't want, so I kept quiet about that. We walked into the garden area, I could see the fountain at which the lion had been drinking, it was dry and overgrown, and of course the table wasn't there but I almost expected to see it. Kate spoke to me as we looked around, "Have you had any more thoughts about them?" she asked, I shook my head, "No, I think they want more from us than they're telling us, but at the moment I wouldn't mind seeing Cassandra again." Kate snorted, "Only because you like her playing with your prick." She said. I got angry at that, "And what about you," I said, "I saw him with his hand in your clothes, don't tell me you hated it when he played with you!" She kept quiet, I looked at her, tears were in her eyes, I felt so bad about that, I put my arm around her shoulder and hugged her close to me. "I'm sorry Kate, I didn't mean that." I said, I could feel her sobbing into my chest. "That's the problem," She said softly, "I do like it, I dream of him doing that whenever I'm here, I can't help it, and I hate it later." And she started to cry for real, I didn't know what to do except to just hold her. After a few minutes she stopped and relaxed in my arms, then she realised what she was doing because she pulled away from me, and looked at me curiously. "Why did you do that?" She asked me, "You never normally hold me, so why?" I didn't want to answer, I mean how can I tell her that she was so pretty that I couldn't stop myself, I wanted to touch her - not just hold her, to kiss her and to feel her all over, it wasn't something I could tell her. I was getting confused, if only there was someone I could ask about my feeling. Maybe Cassandra could help me. "I thought you needed me to." I finally said, not looking at her, she pulled my hand, and I looked up, "Come on." She said, "I suppose we'd better go in" and we walked towards the broken window, hand in hand. When we arrived at the window, I held it up for her to go ahead, she looked at me, "I can do that myself!" She said I kept quiet; I didn't want to go first because I knew I would want to watch her as she entered - trying to see her panties again, I mentally told myself `This is KATE, not just another girl!' But after her grumble she slid into the room, her skirt raising itself as she went in, I slowly followed making sure my back was turned to allow her to fix her skirt without me seeing. "Billy," She said, "Thank you." Again I didn't answer. This time I turned on the light, we hadn't switched off the power when we were last here, the stuffed lion was still pouncing on the zebra, I looked closely at it, expecting it to roar at me, but it just stood there, a quick look around showed several birds in exotic plumage, I remember seeing them in the garden as well. Kate opened the door and we went into the corridor and out to the hallway, Kate stood at the bottom of the stairs. But nobody was visible. "DARCY!" She called, "WHERE ARE YOU?" Her voice echoed in the stair way, `YOu, You, you, ou, u' From behind us came a voice, "Ah the lovely Kate and prompt Billy," Said Darcy and then he stopped as if surprised, "I must say Kate you look a lot better as a girl than an urchin." She angrily turned on him, "How could you." He looked surprised, "Every time I tried to change there was YOUR voice telling me how nice girls don't wear trousers, you made me do this, now stop it!" He opened his hands, "My dear little fox, how could you say that, I wouldn't do that to you!" Her hand flew up and went to hit him but Darcy moved out of her way. "I've told you before," Kate hissed at him, "My name is Kate not little fox." Darcy just smiled at her and gestured her away, she looked to me but Cassandra was beside be holding me back. "Let Darcy placate her in his own way," Her voice whispered in my ear, "I've a lot more to show you!" And she turned me round to the stairs, I looked back to see Darcy taking Kate into a room, the door shutting behind them. ----------------------------------------------------------------- *Kate's Version* I suffered throughout lunch, with mum smiling at me and making remarks on how nice and pretty I looked, and how the boys would love to be with me, it was making me sick! I was glad when lunch was over, I ran upstairs and tried to change again - with no luck, that infuriating voice in my head whispering on how nice girls should dress. It was driving me mad; I vowed to seriously hurt Darcy when I met him. I rode back to Harding House, putting my bike in the driveway near the front door, but I didn't go in first, I wanted Billy to be with me, somehow wearing a dress made me feel vulnerable - I know Darcy could touch me no matter what clothes I wore, which made me even angrier - I could have worn jeans all the time, but no he wanted me to stay in a skirt! - I was beginning to understand what a chauvinist pig was! His name was Darcy. I was just looking at the garden, comparing its present condition with the way I saw it last night, it was a sorry mess. I almost felt sad for it, overgrown and lost with age, the fountain was damaged and had graffiti scrawled on it, I don't know who Victor Krueger was, but you don't spell duck like that! At least I think it was duck, and who's Sharon Smith? I went back to the garden steps looking for Billy, I didn't want to enter the house alone, I was relieved to see him arrive, he was going to the window, I called out to him, he turned to look and waved to me I could see his eyes looking at my skirt and blouse, although in a way I liked it, another part of me was cringing at his gaze, I had to stop him so I spoke up "You're still looking at me!" I said. He lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry Kate; I suppose you're still having problems?" he said I nodded, I couldn't look at him, "Every time I try to pick up my jeans I hear his voice, and my hands can't touch them." I was so annoyed so I added, "It's so infuriating; if he wasn't dead I would kill him!" We walked into the garden area, lost in our own thoughts, I asked Billy, "Have you had any more thoughts about them?" she asked, He shook his head, "No, I think they want more from us than they're telling us," This I understood and then he added, "but at the moment I wouldn't mind seeing Cassandra again." Oh yes! He must have enjoyed the way she used his cock so I told him off. He looked annoyed when I finished, and then he accused me of wanting Darcy to touch me - But he was right in a way, I felt so ashamed at that, I could feel my control going, to my surprise he pulled me to him and hugged me. I couldn't help but cry out loud. "I'm sorry Kate, I didn't mean that." He told me, but how could I admit to him, but then he had confessed to me so I spoke up. "That's the problem - I do like it, I dream of him doing that whenever I'm here, I can't help it, and I hate it later." I broke down again, but he was so gentle as he held me, I could almost stay in his arms for hours, but I had to pull away from him, I wonder why he was being so nice to me so I asked him outright, he was quiet for a moment and then said "I thought you needed me to." He kept his head down, so I knew he was trying to avoid the real truth, I took his hand, to show that I wasn't really annoyed with him, I pulled him with me as we went to the house. "I suppose we'd better go in" I said to him, when we got to the window he held it up for me, I was grateful as I didn't really want him to enter before me, I was getting so conscious of my skirt, which decided to ride up as I climbed in. I don't think Billy saw anything as he had turned to close the window, but I thanked him for his gallantry anyway. Billy turned on the light and looked around the glass eyes of the lion seemed to follow me so I left the room; I went into the hall with Billy behind me. I tried to find Darcy or Cassandra but couldn't see them - this was making me angry, he made me come here and then he didn't show up! "DARCY!" I shouted out, "WHERE ARE YOU?" He spoke from behind us, making jump. "Ah the lovely Kate and prompt Billy," He looked closely at me, "I must say Kate you look a lot better as a girl than an urchin." This made me really angry, he made me dress like this and now he was humiliating me, I looked at him and said; "How could you. Every time I tried to change there was YOUR voice telling me how nice girls don't wear trousers, you made me do this, now stop it!" He tried to deny this, but I knew he was to blame, he was so arrogant in the way he was standing I tried to hit him. But he just seemed to be out of my reach, then his words struck my ears, he called me little fox again, he never listened "I've told you before," I said to him with clenched teeth, "My name is Kate not little fox." But all he did was smile at me, he reached to me and pulled me towards a side room, I turned to see Billy, but Cassandra was beside him, herding him up the stairs. "Let my sister look after Billy," said Darcy, "We have better things to do." But I didn't want to do things with Darcy, but I went with him. The door closed behind us and I found I was in a music room; I turned to speak to Darcy when he spoke first. "I must apologise, Cassandra does have a strange sense of humour," He said, I just looked at him, she smiled at me, "When Cassandra spoke to you in your dream she implanted a suggestion, and reinforced it. I believe she wanted you to act as a lady of refinement, I'll endeavour to persuade her to remove it from you - later!" I was really annoyed at that later part, I wanted removed now! And told him so, he just laughed. "Little fox, you're so beautiful when you're angry." He told me which infuriated me even more. I decided to ignore him, and ask the question - the wrong question as it turned out. "Darcy, why are you here if you were lost at sea." He looked at me his face turning white. "How, how did you hear about that, you wouldn't have been even thought of when that story was around!" he seemed to withdrawn into himself, he stood up and leant forwards his feet planted on the ground together, his arms drawn back as if held by ropes or chains, it looked as if he was fighting a force holding him back. "This is my last memory," he said in a distant voice, "I'm trapped somehow, I can see my prize, but held back from it, I remember a voice saying `The futility of lust' and then nothing, nothing except the knowledge that I'm here until the trump of doom, unable to leave, unable to move except within this house, until I felt you, Kate, I could feel you outside the house looking in, you called me back, you released my bonds, for a few hours at least, so I gave you an entry, the window latch was loose, but I released it for you, and you entered. "I followed you as you walked around the house and then upstairs, when you layed on the bed I found I could touch you, your flesh responded to my hands, your clothes were no hindrance to me, I don't know why, but I know you felt my touch and enjoyed the sensations I gave you. "I decided that you were the means for my release, but my sister was still trapped, unavailable to me, so I hoped that you may know of others who would free her from her entrapment, and gave you the suggestion to return, which you did. Three of your number failed me, but Billy, ah Billy he was the key. "I felt her as she fled from her prison, she knew what his innermost thoughts were, and made them real for him." Now Darcy moved from his position to approach me, I sat still, unable to move, he was behind me now by my left ear into which he whispered, "Do you know his fantasy Kate?" then he moved to my right ear, "Dare you know his fantasy?" I couldn't answer, I was too scared of the answer, Billy had told me how Cassandra had made him think she was me, then Darcy was before me again, nodding. "That's right little fox, he's interested in you, he wants your body next to him, he wants to feel your body and to know your body in its entirety, I wanted to get up and run from the room, but I couldn't move, I tried to shake my head, he had to be lying, Billy was. . . Well Billy! A friend! Darcy was before me again, smiling, taking in my discomfort, "That's right little fox! He's in love with you, although he doesn't know it yet. I've discussed this with Cassandra, while you two are here we are free, somehow you both have something within you that gives us movement, even that small glass fragment I slipped into your pocket allows me movement outside, why I could even follow young Bradley to his home. I do thank you Kate, but I need to teach you. Teach you things of which you've only glimpsed." And then he was so close to me, his eyes peering into mine, so deep, his eyes, so brown, I could almost feel him as he opened a door into my head and entered within. . . within, within MEeee! -------------------------------------------- *Billy's Story* I went with Cassandra up the stairs, we wandered down the hall and entered a room, I could see a rocking horse in the centre of the room, and Cassandra placed her hand on the mane of it. "This was my favourite toy," she said sadly, "It became my second favourite after Darcy showed me a new game we could play. Do you know what that game was?" She asked me. I kept quiet, I could feel what the answer was, but couldn't bring myself to speak, she seemed to be wrapped up in her thoughts. "Do you know what age I was when Darcy taught me this game?" she didn't wait for an answer, "I was your age Billy, I was twelve, and Darcy was fifteen, our governess was asleep, and papa and mama were away, we were up in Darcy's bedroom." I could see that although she was looking at me, her eyes were unfocused as if she was looking beyond me. "For the game we had to be undressed, it was exciting, we've never been naked together before, Millie, our governess, always ensure that Darcy would never see me at all when I was bathing, "When was stood facing each other I was fascinated, Darcy was different from me, he had hair on his body, where I just had a light covering, barely visible, and he had a wonderful stick between his legs, a fleshy pole, sticking up at me. Darcy taught me how to use it, I learnt that the pole could bring Darcy pleasure, and I enjoyed pleasing my brother. "We kept, seeing each other over the weeks, Darcy showed me how we could become enjoined, and share mutual pleasure, finally he entered my body, causing me pain at first, but when I became used to the stretching inside me he started to move, the pleasure soon outweighed the pain, as I felt him spurting inside me I felt as if the doors of heaven had opened up for me, I was in rapture. "Over the years we would play in this room, with new positions, once we enjoyed ourselves on this very horse, using the rocking motions to inflame our passion, we were completely in love with each other. "Then when I was eighteen my father noticed that I was swollen in the belly, he examine me and found out that I was no longer a virgin, but I was pregnant," Her eyes dropped, "He called me a whore, and an unfaithful daughter, he gave me an injection and I passed out. "When I awoke I had a terrible pain in my tummy, Papa's arms were red with blood, my blood! He told me that I didn't have the problem any more, but he would keep a careful eye on me from now on." She walked round the horse, I could see tears on her face, I went to hold her, but she held up a hand stopping me, "Now is not the time, listen to my story and understand," she said, "My parents kept an eye on me when I was out side, but didn't think to watch me when we were home, Darcy comforted me, I told him that Papa had taken our baby, and he cried with me, several weeks later Papa found us together, he locked us in our separate rooms, the servants were told that we'd run away, he made Darcy write a letter, I don't know what it said, I've only learnt about it in the past few days. "Then one night Mama and Papa enter my room, Mama was crying and Papa was saying that it was the only thing that he could do to two people who acted like animals, I tried to back away from him but Mama held me as he injected me with something, and that was the last I could remember, until you entered the house and awoken me. I found myself rising up to that room, I could feel your innermost thoughts and desires, I copied the voice of the one you secretly yearned for, and copied her form. I wanted to thank you for what you have done for me, now let me show you what you could achieve if you let me." She walked up to me looking in my eyes, past my eyes into my mind; I could feel her there pushing at me, removing me, dissolving meeeee... ------------------------------------------------ *Darcy's story* I looked at my body, this was strange, I could feel her with me, I could hear her shouting that this wasn't right, I answered her by saying that it was all right, to trust me and learn. I left the music room, I was slightly unsteady on my feet, I had to get used to walking - I had been immobile for some time, but I knew where to find her, my original love! - The feel of the skirt brushing on my thighs was strange, and I wondered how the Scots managed, and then smiled when I recalled that they wore nothing beneath, then I felt the fabric of the shirt - I mean blouse - rubbing against my chest, I asked my partially unwilling partner if this felt normal, she told me she always wore a tee-shirt which was slight rougher. I mounted the stairs, I could feel where Cassandra was, I knew she was there in the play room, and she was still talking with Billy so I waited outside the room. I could feel it as she achieved entry into his body - I opened the door, He/She was waiting for me, I entered the room and we lovingly touched for the first time in ages, I mean body to body, I had successfully given the illusion of taking her hand but that was all it was, illusion! "Darcy." She moaned with Billy's voice. "I've waited so long for you." "And I you Cassandra," I said, "but we must be careful, as long as Kate and Billy stay aware of us and allow us to remain, then we will be together." She/he nodded his/her head - I'm sorry this is too confusing, the descriptions for what we were doing cannot be maintained, It is Cassandra in Billy's body, She is in control so *She* nodded her head. "I know, and Billy knows this now, he wants to learn and will stay in me, But Darcy what about Papa, what would he say?" I shook my head, "Papa is long gone, returned to dust, now it's just you and I." Kate's voice echoed in my head - `_I'm here as well you know!_' she said I answered her, `_Then please let me show you what to do, watch and learn._' To which she acquiesce. Cassandra then started to undress, I (and Kate) watched as she removed her trousers and shirt, her bare chest, without hair yet, was breathing fast, she stood before me in pants - _Y-fronts_ I was informed by Kate - and socks she was watching me. I realised what she was waiting for I moved my hands to my blouse. `_What are you doing?_" asked Kate, inwardly I smiled, `_returning the favour!_' I told her. The last button was undone and I moved the blouse from off my shoulders, I could feel the air on my -chest? Breasts! - breasts, I moved my hands down my front touching my breasts, now I know how Cassandra felt when I touched her, then I felt the skirt, I wasn't sure how to remove this garment. `_Let me do that!_' came Kate's voice and I relinquished control of our hands, watching as they undid a hidden catch and then the zip. `_I don't want to do any more, you'd better take over!_' she said to me, I thanked her and felt the skirt in my hands, which I dropped to the floor. I walked to Cassandra and kissed her, for a brief moment I could feel both Billy and Kate as they shared the kiss with us, I could feel a warmth in my loins spreading upwards, `_I've never felt that before_' came Kate's voice, followed by `_Me neither_' which I later found out came from Billy. I reached out for Cassandra's pants when she stopped me, I looked at her she lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, but we're scared." I smiled at her "Cassandra, Billy! Just don't worry, relax and I'll guide you both, this is strange for me - I mean us as well" Kate had added `_strange for you?_' in my mind so I corrected my words. She nodded and stood still in front of me as I reached for the garment, which I pulled down over her hips and down to the floor. I looked at her, seeing her penis which was standing proud, again with very little hair around the pubes and scrotum `_Balls!_' said Kate `_No that's the medical term for that bag_' I told her only to be corrected in the vernacular terms. Cassandra looked down at the organ, she laughed. "That looks so strange." She said and then out loud said, "I'm sorry Billy, but I'm used to seeing my breast and tummy, not your penis - alright cock!" She looked at me and shook her head, "They call it different names nowadays it seems." She said in explanation. I move back and slightly spread my legs, "Your turn now Cassandra." I said and felt her hands on my hips, gripping hold of the yellow fabric covering my lower body. I could feel it as it was round my ankles and so I stepped out of them and stood before my sister. "Kate!" said Cassandra, "You have a lovely body, and Billy says that too - Yes you did! I heard you!" she added obviously answering an inner voice. `_Kate_' I said internally, `_You can answer Cassandra you know._' She replied, `_I know, but I'm too ashamed, I don't want to look at Billy when he's naked._' So I spoke for her. "She thinks Billy is handsome too." `_NOO, don't let him know that!_' she cried in my mind. So the attraction was two way then. I just smiled and approached Cassandra, "My love! It's been so long since we were together, let me touch your body and feel it again" I know I was wrong, but to my eyes although Billy's body was there I could see Cassandra's breasts and legs in my minds eye I walked behind her, rubbing my hands down her front, missing the full breasts that I was expecting, but hearing her moan with the sensation, then I moved down her flat stomach until I touched her - penis. I had to excite her and so I did what was previously unthinkable. I masturbated her, making her penis rise and stiffen in my hands, I allowed Kate to feel our hands, I could feel her gasp as she felt the flesh within flesh, the skin moving, I heard Cassandra panting with the pleasure, I moved my body around so that I was kneeling at Cassandra's feet, I started masturbating her again, I could tell that she would climax soon. Then she spurted, jetting out as only the young can, `_Gross!_' Came the reaction from Kate. And then I really made her gasp as I took our covered hand and sucked the emission off from it and allowed her to share our taste buds. I allowed her the use of our tongue which she used to lick. `_That's strange, but I like it_' she finally said. I didn't want to suggest that she learnt to suckle the gland directly, at least not just yet anyway. Cassandra shuddered with the pleasure, "I didn't know it felt like that when you did it!" she said, I nodded "It feels better the more times you do it." I told her, "The only trouble is that it takes so much out of a boy." I added as I saw her eyes start to droop. She gathered herself and returned to me smiling. "Darcy, you've done so much for me, can I return the favour?" Cassandra said. I nodded, she turned to face me, her hands reaching behind my neck, her mouth on mine, urgent and wanting, it felt as if she was trying to suck the very life away from me, I felt Kate with me `_Oh God!_' She exclaimed, `_this is good_' I tried not to answer her. I then felt Cassandra's hands moving down, cupping my breasts, Cassandra laughed. "I'm letting Billy do this, it's something he's been aching to do all day - I'm sorry Billy, but you did say that!" there was a wicked smile on her lips as she said that. Kate moaned in my head, I was allowing her to feel everything, "Slow down a bit Cassandra." I said wanting Kate to get the full benefit of Billy's hands, the feeling in my loins increased and I could feel a dampness forming down there. Cassandra then started to kiss my breasts; she looked at me as she did this, "This is from me." She said, "For Kate" I felt Kate's arousal as she heard this `_Oh yes, don't stop, please don't stop_' she screamed in my head, I allowed myself to wallow in her pleasure. Finally I felt her hands on my loins, delicately probing the folds of the flesh there using the found moisture to titillate the little nubbin there, using her knowledge of what excited her to do the same to me, she became insistent with her manipulation of my body, I could feel that the pleasure was becoming too great for Kate, and then I joined her in unconsciousness. When I awoke I was still in charge of the body, Kate still unable to control herself; `_Oh Wow! That was great_' she moaned in my head, I smiled up at my sister who was in Billy's body. She was kneeling over me smiling away. "Oh brother, now I know how you felt when you were touching me, I'm so hot and anxious to know what it feels like from your perspective as you entered me." And she positioned herself between my legs; her penis had now recovered itself and was rigid. I could feel it as it entered where previously her fingers had been. Then I felt a panic overtaking me, I couldn't understand where it was coming from, it built up quickly and started to force me out! And then I heard Kate's voice screaming out from my lips. "BILLY! STOP HER, DON'T DO THIS! I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, NOT NOW, BILLY! LISTEN TO ME - DON'T LET HER DO IT!" I was standing beside her as I saw Cassandra lower herself down on the girl - and then she was also beside me, I watched as Billy lifted himself from Kate who was sobbing, We had almost achieved the thing which had been denied from us for years. Kate looked at me, tears still shining in her eyes, "I'm sorry Darcy; I could feel that you wanted Cassandra to do it, but I'm too young - I'm just not ready yet." I was about to answer her when Cassandra spoke up. "I'm sorry Kate, for all I did to you, I thought it would be fun to guide you to act as a lady should, which is why I entered your mind and planted the command to dress as you have, but I'm now removing that." I noticed a smile on my sister's lips as she said this. She turned to Billy, "I have to thank you for the use of your body, I hope the lessons I've now given you bear fruit and allow you to use them with the one you want!" He blushed and lowered his head, I notice that Kate didn't seem to be taking any notice of this, she appeared to be deeply thinking, I took her hand. "Kate," I said, "I'm sorry that I went further than you wanted to go, I hope you will allow me another chance to caress my sister once more, but that will be another day, you need to rest and relax. Tomorrow is Sunday I would ask that you forebear from coming here, Monday will be enough, you can come in the afternoon." Kate shook her head, "I can't I've got netball practise after school on Monday and Wednesday, the next time would be next Saturday!" Cassandra shook her head, "But yesterday you weren't at school in fact you had been off all day!" Billy spoke up, "The teachers had an inception day, when they meet and learn things themselves, and they give us the day off. But we've still got lessons next week. Kate's right the next time would be next Saturday." I nodded, "Then we are agreed, we will meet here in the flesh so to speak, next Saturday, now I suggest you get dressed and leave, again we thank you for the use of your bodies." And so Cassandra and I took our leave of the two. While we were returning Cassandra spoke, "So we're going to see them tonight then." I nodded, "Why didn't you tell them?" She asked. I smiled, "It's always better to surprise them." I told her, and then I was held. Imprisoned again! ------------------------------------------------------ *Kate's Version* I watched as Darcy and Cassandra seemed to fade away, I tried to avoid looking at Billy, but since I'd already had seen him all over I couldn't see the point, but I turned away as I put on my panties and blouse, I picked up my skirt and fastened it, finally putting on my socks and shoes, I turned to Billy who was also dressed. "Thank you Billy," I said, "You were kind to stop when you did." He blushed, "Kate," he said slowly, "I have to tell you, it was very hard to do that, I wanted to carry on, Cassandra told me that it would be so easy and wouldn't hurt you too much, but then I could really hear your words - I had to stop," He looked at me, "I'm sorry I did what I did." I smiled at him, "But you did stop Billy, you were able to." I could tell he was confused by my words, so I kissed him - I KISSED HIM! And like a shot I heard, `_Wow, she must really like me to do that_' I answered him, "You're my friend Billy, I trust you it's not just a matter of liking you!" He just looked at me, his eyes wide. "I didn't say anything," He told me, "But I did think that!" now it was my turn to be amazed. "But if you didn't. . ." I started and then thought, `what the hell did they do to me' Billy answered my unvoiced thought, "I don't know, but I hope it doesn't last!" We quickly rushed down stairs and out of the window. We cycled home together, Billy beside me, I caught a brief thought from him `_I wonder if I'll see her panties again!_' I almost fell off my bike, `When did he see them before?' I wondered He looked at me, "I'm sorry Kate, remember earlier when I nearly fell of my bike?" He asked I nodded. "Well, when I looked back then I could see up your skirt, it was an accident, I'm sorry!" he said. I smiled at him to show I wasn't annoyed, "With the skirt I was wearing I'm not surprised!" I said. "See you at school on Monday." I added quickly turning away down the road to my house. I got home and put my bike in the shed, ran upstairs and went into my bedroom. I quickly removed my skirt and reached for my jeans. I could touch them! The rough fabric was like heaven under my hands! I quickly put them on, I could wear jeans again, no voice inside me telling me off, I quickly removed the blouse and put on a tee-shirt. I was me again Kate, not some sissy goody-two-shoes who wore skirts, I could almost hug myself. I felt something in my pocket, when I reached in I could see that it was a piece of crystal, I looked at it closely - this was what Darcy had used! I thought about throwing it away, but somehow I couldn't, I could now recognise Cassandra's hand stopping me. Oh well it didn't matter too much. I returned downstairs to my mother, who just looked at me, "Well," she said, "at least you were my daughter for a few hours!" --------------------------------------------------------
