Two Peaceful Ends to an Evening

Chloe was nervous, sure she went on a date with Aubrey earlier and things had gone well. Until of course it got derailed because Mark turned into a woman. The fact that she didn’t feel like she owed her girlfriend the world did help. I mean I do owe Aubrey, I’m just glad I don’t feel a need to actually repay that beyond just caring about her. Chloe had gone outside to check the set up but had gotten Aubrey to promise and not to peek. It was beautiful, there were hanging lanterns strung above the platform, right outside the boudoir. With the mirrors all around creating a surreal display as they reflect the lanterns and the patterns shifted as they swayed, in the exact center was a table covered in a pale pink table cloth, with dark green embroidery along the edges and two ornate chairs on either side. Cassandra had added flowers all around primarily roses but many others that Chloe didn’t actually recognize, but were pretty all the same. Cassandra had really gone above what Chloe had thought she herself would have been able to do in the time before dinner. I’m glad Aubrey was willing to go with something less adventurous, tonight.

Chloe jumped in surprise and a little pleasure as Merida came up the stairs and said, "Well, div ye no look mighty fine. I thought ye were Aubrey for a minute, in that outfit. Why are ye so... pink?"

“Aubrey thought it would be fun to wear what we each thought the other would look good in.”

"Ach, well, shame I winnae get tae see Aubrey in her get-up." Merida sat down the covered tray she was holding on the table. "Yer tea, like ye asked. Feel free tae tak' yer time gettin' ready. The tray'll keep them exactly like they were when I put them in there, but'll vanish when ye tak' off the lid."

“I noticed that with the bento boxes the lid disappeared first and then when we were done so did the rest of the box.”

"Aye, they cam' back tae the cottage when ye were finished wi' them. They'd also come back if ye didnae open them that day. Anyway, am away then, an' let you twa hae a nice time. Am fair keen on the lichts wi' the mirrors, it's awfy romantic." Merida hurried off.

“Okay, everything is ready, I just need to wait for my girlfriend.” Chloe went back inside to check on Aubrey’s progress. “Are you ready yet? Merida just dropped off the food.”

Aubrey shouted from the bathroom, “I’ll be right out.” and she came out of the bathroom after having changed her makeup.

“Damn do you look good, Aubrey.” Causing Aubrey to pull her knees together for a moment.

“I could say the same. I kind of just want to eat you for dinner instead.”

God I wish. And maybe picking outfits that make complements cause arousal wasn’t the smartest choice. Oh well. “Well, shall we. I’d like you to close your eyes, we don’t have far to go but I want it to be a surprise.”

“Okay.” Aubrey moved to the door, held on to Chloe’s arm with both of hers and closed her eyes. Letting Chloe lead her outside. Chloe walked her forward a bit and then moved one of Aubrey’s hands onto a chair so she could sit. Then Aubrey heard Chloe pull out a chair and sit nearby.

“You can open your eyes now.”

Aubrey did and was dazzled by the scene, and took in a sharp breath, “It’s so pretty. I love the florals and wow I could get used to seeing you no matter where I look.” Chloe squirmed in her seat a little at the complement.

“I know, Cassandra took what I thought of and added a bit more but this is what I wanted tonight.” Chloe then removed the top of the tray that Merida had brought. “Damn, that smells delicious.”

“Well I’ll say something does, not sure if it’s the food though.” Causing Chloe to squirm some more.

“I thought we agreed not to tease each other constantly.”

“Constantly, Chloe. You need to pay more attention.”

“Well I guess, I’ll just be thankful that I have such a beautiful genius as a girlfriend to point these things out to me.” Aubrey both squirmed and blushed at the complement. “But let’s eat.”

They spent the next minute or two just enjoying the food, the surroundings and being with each other. “Chloe, this is great. Also we should encourage Merida to cook more, she’s really good.”

“She is, I don’t know how much we should be pushing someone to use an amenity though, Mark thought it was supposed to help reinforce us accepting being his, women. I’m not saying we can’t use them if we want to but, I wouldn’t want to be the reason someone turns into a submissive housewife or a bondage **** for Mark.”

“That’s fair, sometimes I forget about the subtle reinforcement. I mean even what we are wearing now I guess is supposed to make us associate skintight clothes with pleasure even if I can appreciate how good you look in that dress.” Causing Chloe to feel a surge of delight.

“Also respond to compliments that way too. I think it will be fine as long as we don’t use them constantly.” Chloe could see Aubrey was thinking about something. “Okay I know that adorable face, tell me what are you thinking about.”

“Well… Chloe, do you think we’ll be okay? After all this? Not like us as a couple but like us as individuals. Though also us as a couple.”

“I wish I could say yes. But I don’t know, maybe, maybe not. I might have a better idea after I spend time with Mark. I haven’t really had a chance besides the party and breakfasts. What about you? You’ve had time to be with him.”

“Yeah, but that was one of my worst dates ever. And the next day I just yelled at Mark, and it turned into a huge mess, and now I think Mark is upset with you because you brought it up too.”

“Aubrey, first I think Mark is genuine in not holding anything against you. If he has a problem with me and what I told Freya he can talk to me, and I’ll explain. But my stance hasn’t changed. I’m not dropping this. We have to share Mark, I don’t like it. I don’t think you do either. If Mark wants us to treat the relationship we have with him with respect then he needs to as well. That means not sleeping with other people, outside of the Harem. It definitely means not having romantic relationships outside the Harem. I don’t have a problem with Freya, I know you think I do. But I really don’t. I just have a problem with her trying to take a piece of what is ours but not being willing to commit and be a part of it.”

“But how is it fair to ask her to join simply to be with him?”

“Aubrey, you asked if we were going to be okay after going through this. Yes, the show has risks, but isn’t the idea that we should end up happy here too. That’s the reward besides the wish at the end. We didn’t get a say in this, I know she didn’t get a say when she was selected for a season either. But if she asks Mark to join then she will have chosen which is fairer than what we had. So no I’m not budging on this.”

“What, what if Mark doesn’t agree with you, and this becomes a problem. Like what if he decides to be with Freya anyway. Then you and he fight and then lose points in competitions…”

“Look Aubrey, I’m willing to respect Mark’s boundaries but being able to sleep with whomever he wants isn’t a boundary, he doesn’t get to decide we have an open relationship. I’m ignoring the harem because I understand that isn’t his choice either, but Freya would be. I don’t know what I would do in that situation but I do know it isn’t to capitulate on this. I also think that thinking like that is dangerous. We shouldn’t just accept something from Mark because we are afraid it will cause a problem if we object. As far as challenges go. I’m a bit less concerned about us.”

“Really why?”

“Well, I don’t want to think too much in these terms but, If you were to look at who we could consider as an ally, obviously I’m going to put you above helping anyone else, unless it’s to save them from elimination. Laura is our friend, we’ve known each other for a while and her physique would make her monstrous in any physical challenge, plus she has magic and she has gotten to know everyone well, even Talia. I kind of bonded with Merida a bit earlier this week. Honestly if I were to group us into teams, it would be Team Laura, and Team Sam. With us, Merida, and Talia on Laura’s team and everyone else on Sam's.”

“Okay but that would assume we not only get to pick our teammates but that we can even interact with one another.”

“Well in a free for all we sort of could pick our teammates. If we can’t interact with one another then I’m less worried, we might not place first, but I’m confident that we can both consistently place in the middle of the pack.”

“I think… I think that’s a little optimistic for me, Chloe. Can we talk about something else? This is a little heavy and I’m rather turned on right now.”

“Oh? That works for me. I was really looking forward to dessert.”

Aubrey looked up in excitement not noticing the purr in Chloe’s voice “What’s for dessert?”

Chloe got up and whispered in her ear, “You, my sweet.” Causing Aubrey to moan in pleasure. And Chloe took Aubrey back inside to have a taste.

“Okay, not my favorite movie, Mark. Also feels a little dated. But that happens sometimes with movies, doesn’t make them bad, just a product of their time. I see why you like it though.” Ellen commented on one of Mark’s favorite sci-fi films as it finished.

“Better reaction than I had hoped for to be honest.”

“I’ll admit when you told me it starred Vin Diesel I had thought it was going to be a heavy action film, but that was more horror, thriller in my opinion. Now there is something I want to do with you.”

“I’m game for most things.”

“Good, I want you to tie me up and play with me.” Ellen said as she moved her face, in really close to Mark’s.

“Not that I’m opposed to that but I’d like to know a little more what you had in mind.”

"Well, I’d be okay with most stuff, bondage related. Blowjobs and sex are both fine, you don’t have to worry about getting me pregnant though I have an IUD."

“Oh, Shit! I didn’t tell anyone, did I? Ellen, that's gone. Cassandra told me on my date with Merida that any contraceptive measures were removed, unless they were medically necessary for something else.”

“EXCUSE ME!? She did, what!?”

“Yeah, I had asked about my medications and apparently we are being provided them so we don’t have to worry, but she said that anything preventing pregnancy was removed, but there are options in the BP store, if I want to be safe.”

“Okay well, correction sex is off the table unless you get one of those options from the store.” Ellen was really upset. “Actually that sort of killed my whole mood, sorry.”

“Oh trust me, I understand. I flipped out when Cassandra had told me. I would have punched her damn the consequences if Allie had actually ended up pregnant because she didn’t tell me about that. I’ve also already looked at the cost for contraceptives, it isn’t too bad individually but with nine of you the costs will add up. Plus I’m not sure all of you will be okay with the same option, or any of them. I’m sorry Ellen, I just realized I need to send a quick message to Laura.”

Mark: Hey, Laura, I just wanted to check on something for tomorrow. Did you buy any contraceptives from the BP store? Apparently Cassandra removed any that all of you were using.

Laura: THAT BITCH! No, I figured my IUD would be good enough. I think I’m going to kill her. I don’t have any BP left. Can you buy us something?

Mark: Already looked into it and yes I made sure to put aside enough to get one of a few different options for you.

Laura: You’re the best. Look forward to tomorrow but get back to Ellen now.

“Sorry about that Ellen, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t ruin Laura’s plans by forgetting to tell her about this, or forget about it by tomorrow.”

“No, you’re fine.” Ellen’s phone started blowing up with notifications.

~PingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPing~

~PingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPingPing~

“Um, what's happening?” Mark asked as his phone was not making sound.

Ellen pulled out her phone and checked. “Yeah, figured it was that. Laura just told everyone in the group chat. Let's see, everyone is cursing Cassandra except for Aubrey, asking what we can do about it, and they are going to check the BP store.”

“Okay, that’s good. I'm a little confused why I’m not in the group chat, though.”

“Um… we wanted a place to chat amongst ourselves.”

“Oh not that you have a group chat without me, I’m not confused about that. I meant why this wasn’t sent to the group chat I’m in since I could offer suggestions.”

“Right. Probably because we are on a date. Now let me silence my phone because I think they are going to be at this for a while.”

“Let’s just talk some more, I feel like you told me a lot but I didn’t tell you nearly as much.”

“Sure, do you want to just start sharing or have me ask questions?”

“Ask away.” Ellen said, handing Mark her microphone.

“Alright.” Mark tilted his head back and forth as he thought. “Okay, if you had not gone into acting what would you have liked to have pursued as a career instead?”

“Probably writing. Honestly, I’ve put some ramblings together that might be able to be called an outline for a book. I also have half a screenplay written and wrote the script for a few episodes of a show I did.”

“Okay, how are you handling all this? The show, but also the transformations and the idea that you have to be with me.”

“Pretty well, I think. I mean there isn’t actually much pressure from the show right now. Even with how hectic everything has been there is a lot of down time for us. I’m more worried about you on that front. We get time where we aren’t expected to really do anything. I’m not saying it would be wise to just hold up in my room and read a book if I’m not with you, but I could, if I needed to decompress. You don’t really have that. As for my transformations, well I think I learned my lesson about Waist Training. Sam is looking for something that might make things suck less in the store. I don’t mind wearing the costumes, that’s fine. I do worry though, about picking up permanent traits from it though. I’ve actually given Sam the **** outfit, to keep away from me. I worry that I might just keep putting it on. That isn’t healthy.”

“You don’t think you got anything from it already do you?”

“No, I don’t think so, or if I have I can’t notice at all. I feel the same as normal.

“Well, that’s good.”

“Sure for now… but that’s the thing, I wanted to keep wearing it. Some of the outfits felt like they called to me, to some degree. At some point I’m going to have to pick some favorites to wear regularly. Like I want to know what I can expect, from whatever I pick, but that means creating a pattern, which means I’ll pick up traits if it isn’t a large enough pattern. My biggest concern is actually continuing to act.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, you have to be in costume for a film a lot. Some films have you in it for essentially weeks straight.”

“Oh, that would be a problem.”

“Right, so I’ll have to be hyper selective on any roles or the director needs to be super accommodating to the costume requirement. Then of course will anyone take me seriously if I’m always in a costume?”

“How many of the accessories with this outfit do you actually need to have?”

“What?”

“Like the microphone, and watch do you need those?”

“No, I don't think so. But it does feel more comfortable.”

“So you don’t have to have a 100% matching outfit, that’s good to know. Now here is my question. What qualifies as a costume then?”

“I’m not sure I follow.”

“Well okay let’s take your school girl outfit. It’s sort of generic right? But what if you got a specific school uniform from a specific film or show, would that work differently. I mean your **** girl outfit is most definitely modeled after the Leia outfit but it isn’t exactly the same. There are differences, maybe that’s enough for it not to be considered a Leia outfit. Like right now you aren’t in a reporter’s costume, you’re in an April O’Neil outfit. Moreover a specific likeness of that character. In other versions she isn’t a reporter, she’s a computer expert and scientist. So if you wore that version of her outfit I would guess you would get different traits than this one. Which brings me back to my question of what constitutes a costume. Because, while she did wear different outfits there was one fairly consistent one. But that’s also fairly normal clothes. Just a purple crop-top, some loose fitting pants, a dark belt, and I think converse but I would have to double check. Put on a wig for it and I’m willing to bet if you went to comic-con you would be recognized as the character. But that’s normal clothes if maybe not what you would normally wear. Take that to other specific characters and their costumes. Like Doctor Who, you could dress up as Rose, Donna, Amy, Clara, River Song, Sarah Jane, Heck even Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor. Maybe even do a gender bender version of the other Doctors, all of those are mostly normal clothes, Does that count as a costume? I don’t know but we should definitely find out.

“So, I would then gain specific character traits. Is what you're saying instead of a stereotype? If that works that opens a lot of options but do you really think I’ll be allowed to do that?”

“I don’t know but I can say that as long as it is distinctive enough of a look probably. Like tell me, if you had never seen ‘Ninja Turtles’ do you think anyone would be like ‘yep this is a costume of something’ or just think you are wearing odd clothes.

“That is a good point.”

Mark got out his phone again.

Mark: Hey Cassandra, I have some questions for you about access to the walk in closet. Specifically I noticed it disappeared, would it be possible to regain access to it and have the ladies try stuff on and model them for me, as long as they don’t leave the suite with it.

Cassandra: Ah, how wonderful of you to message me, so considerate. No, that won’t work. Though, I can make it so they can try on and model them for you just like they are at a store but they have to take them off as soon as they are done modeling them.

Mark: Thank you, Cassandra.

Cassandra: You’re Welcome.

Mark noticed that the closet door had reappeared. “Okay so Cassandra gave me access to the walk-in closet again you can try stuff on just like if you were at a store in town but you have to model them for me and you can’t leave with any. So want to go try on some clothes?”

“Absolutely, Thank you Mark. I’ve got an idea for every two outfits you find that are actually normal-ish looking. I'll increase my bust or hips by five sizes tonight and I’ll let you pick one of the sexy outfits I bought to have some fun afterwards.”

“Well I was motivated, now I’m driven.” So the two headed into the closet.

“Okay I know the others said this was big but like this place is huge.”

“Yeah, feel free to look around, meet back here in say twenty minutes or shout if you think you have a bunch of options?”

“Works for me.” So the two started rifling through the clothes to see if they could find any that would work. After going through options a little longer than agreed upon they met back up.

“Didn’t find anything Ellen?”

“Oh I found plenty… but nothing that I could both consider a costume and approaching normal. What about you?”

“Well, it's a good news, bad news situation. The good news is I found a few options that I think will work, for what we want. The bad news is that either suggestive, you can’t wear a corset or well… you’ll see.”

“How suggestive?”

“It varies, but let’s just say more than simply attractive.”

“Okay well, might as well see what we can do here.”

Mark had picked out a little more than a dozen outfits out for Ellen to look at.

“Well, Mark I will commend you on picking our actual normal looking outfits or at least close to them.” Ellen started going through them one at a time. “Nope, nope, the skirt is way too short on this one, Mark! This is essentially just a bikini!

“Yes. But does it count?”

Ellen looked at it, “...Yes.” and sighed. “But this one doesn’t count as normal clothes, got it.”

“Whatever you say.” Mark held up his hands.

“Oh, this is actually nice but everyone will recognize it, hmmm I’ll attempt to try it on at least. It will tell us more about character costumes. No. No. No. I don’t know how you think this is a costume and not simply a style but if it counts, this would be good, into the yes pile. Oh another one, I bet Talia would be pleased with this one if I can’t wear it. No. NO! I Recognize this one, but don’t know where from. No. No. I count four that I find acceptable and didn’t immediately scream ‘not a costume’ to my TF. I’ll go put one on and be right back. ”

It took Ellen a minute but she came back in an orange turtleneck sweater, a short red skirt, orange sock, red shoes, and black square rimmed glasses. “You make a terrific Velma, Ellen. Wait… Your face, and do you have freckles?”

“Jinkies Mark, apparently traits, means physical ones too. Hair seems to be the most common to change. It also seems to happen more on specific character outfits, did you not notice before in the April outfit?”

“I guess I thought it was a difference in makeup or something and I assumed the hair was a wig. So this is just your hair?”

“That’s right. I think it’s cute this way.”

“I do too. Also when you are ready for sexy, I want you to wear this. Okay?”

“Oh have a thing for Velma do you?”

“I simply have taste, thank you very much. Also a thing for cute nerdy girls.”

“Going to go try the next one on.” Ellen went back with the black outfit Mark wasn’t quite sure if it would count or not. Ellen came back in the Velma outfit. “Sorry Mark, this one doesn’t count. It feels close though maybe with more accessories it would. Talia will love it though so make sure to keep it aside for her. I’m going to need you to undo the corset for the next one because of the midriff.”

“Okay…” Mark grimaced, not sure that was a great idea but he had picked out the outfit.

“Mark, don’t worry, I know it says that my morals are tied to the corset, but it very much seems to be more on the sexual morals side of things. Not, I’m okay with kicking a puppy, morals. But Sam and Allie did both ask me to talk to you about it to see what we can do, as it is problematic.”

“For sure. Okay turn around and lift up the sweater.”

Ellen just blinked at Mark. “Mark, I'm perfectly capable of removing it myself. But the knot is magically fastened. I just need you to remove that.” Mark facepalmed and thought about it being able to be loosened and it was.

“Okay you’re good to go.” Ellen went and got changed. Coming back this time in loose dark green pants with brown pouches attached to one leg and her belt, a black long sleeve turtleneck top exposing her midriff and a pair of black gloves and boots. Mark let out a wolf whistle.

“Care to tell me how it’s possible for that top to contain your cleavage?”

“Oh that’s my TFs, any outfit I try on will always fit, correctly.”

“That’s nice. So Ellen, I’m curious about something?” How quickly do you reverse back from physical changes?”

“What? I don’t understand.”

“Okay well let’s take your hair. How quickly and what would you have to do for it to go back to its natural state.”

“Oh, I don’t know the change isn’t instant but is fairly quick once I’m completely out of an outfit though.”

“Try taking everything off but the gloves before changing into the next outfit and checking to see when it happens.”

“Mission accepted.” Ellen started to unbuckle her belt.

“Ellen!? Stop! I want you to tell me, do you think you would change in front of me with a corset on?”

“Maybe… but probably not.”

“Then please go get changed over there, and please put the corset back on. I don't want the first time we do stuff together to be because of your sexual morals being looser.”

“Just the first time?” Ellen teased.

“We can at least talk about it after the first time.” Now, one last thing before you go change. I believe you said I could ask for a bust or butt size increase, I’m going with bust. I’d like to watch it happen.”

“A boob man I can respect that.” Ellen’s bust increased significantly in size.

+750 BP For increased Bust Size x5 (50/100/150/200/250)

4025 BP -> 4775 BP

“Get a good look?” Ellen presented her cleavage to Mark. “Maybe later you’ll get to touch.” She sashayed away with the last outfit. She came back out in an off the shoulder floor length blue dress, with a ribbon around her waist, white gloves, pearl necklace and earrings, and her hair back to its original color in an updo.

“Oh, Darling I’m so happy to see you again.” She walked over to him, held his face and planted a loving kiss upon his lips. “Honey, I just love the dress you got me.”

“Ellen are you okay?”

“Why wouldn’t I be Dearest?”

“You are wearing a corset under that right?”

“Absolutely, My Love, I followed your instructions like any good wife should.”

“Excuse me? Did you say wife?”

“I’m sorry, Sweetie, I meant wife to be. I know you’re touchy on the whole, marrying all of us, thing.”

“Um, so I didn’t think that this was a housewife outfit myself.”

“Well, Beloved, I actually don’t think this is too bad. I know I might seem a little enthusiastic about this but it actually feels nice. The whole, not being able to say My Sweetheart’s name is annoying. Honey, Darling, Love, Husband. See what I mean?”

“Yeah that seems like it might be annoying.” Mark thought for a moment. “Can you say your name?”

“Of course Dear, I’m Mrs. Garret.” Ellen frowned. “My full name is Ellen LeAnn Garret ne Thompson. We are Mr. & Mrs. Mark Garret.” Ellen smiled for a moment and then frowned again. “Okay I think I should go change, would you like April or Velma?”

“I’ll let you pick but I might just toss you on the bed and rock your world if you come back out as Velma.” Ellen considered that as she went to get changed. She came back as April.

“I appreciate the offer Mark. But remember the contraceptives?”

“Right, sorry thinking with my lower brain.”

“If it’s alright with you I’d like to just relax, watch another movie and go to sleep. Maybe some kissing and cuddling during the movie.”

“Works for me.”

“Now, I don’t care if you’ve seen it or not. I want to watch my favorite film with you. So we are watching ‘The Princess Bride’.”

“I love that film but would love to watch it with you. Plus I heard that there might be kissing and cuddles.” Mark smirk and they moved back to the couch to watch the film.
