But I ain't worried now, I'ma let my hair down

Received a Lap Pillow from Master! +1 VP

Kim sat up and stretched her arms over her head, and let out a big yawn.

“Haaaahn… that was pretty relaxing,” she murmured, her eyes still half-closed. “I almost fell asleep in your lap, it was so comfy…”

Nick couldn’t resist laughing a little at that. “Well, thanks for saying so,” he replied. “Nice to hear my lap is comfortable enough to use as a pillow.”

Kim hopped to her feet and flashed him a smile. “Definitely is,” she said, giving him a peace sign. “So comfy in fact, maybe you could do me a solid sometime and come by the boutique when I’m done with work? It would be nice to get a lap pillow to relax after a long day of being on my feet.”

Nick laughed again. “I’ll see what I can do,” he said, standing up. “For now though, let’s get back to our plans for today.” As fun as it was to hang out with Kim, this was Dani’s day, and he didn’t want to make her feel like a third wheel, even though the complicated dynamics of the relationship between the three of them made things a little awkward. It was only natural to have more chemistry with Kim, who he was sleeping with, than with Dani, who was just his friend. So he needed to be more conscious of the other girl, and make sure she wasn’t feeling taken for granted.

It was difficult, but he was determined to see it through. Especially when he saw the complicated expression on Dani’s face. She looked lost in thought, which was uncommon for her.

“Hey Dani, everything okay?” Kim asked, raising her eyebrow.

Dani jumped slightly. “O-oh! You two are… done already?” She asked timidly, glancing at the both of them. “Sorry, my mind was a million miles away…”

“Daydreaming about Carly?” Nick joked, trying to lighten the mood.

She looked right at him with an intense gleam in her eyes, and shook her head.

“No, not Carly,” she said bluntly.

Nick swallowed. “Oh… uh… I-I was just joking, Dani, I mean-”

“I was thinking about something complicated,” Dani said, shaking her head. Nick could see that it wasn’t some flight of fancy now. “Nola said… there was another way I could get some Victory Points really easily… and I was wondering… if I should do it or not.”

“An easy way? And you’d be okay with it?” Kim raised her eyebrows in surprise. She thought that the only “easy” ways to get Victory Points now would be a little more than the other girl would be able to handle.

Dani bit her lip and nodded slowly.

“It’s… not sexual, not exactly,” she said, glancing furtively towards Nick. “Do you guys remember… when Nick went to the Hall of Mirrors and… turned into a girl?”

Kim went pale and her jaw dropped. Nick’s eyes widened like saucers and he felt the strength leave his legs.

“W-wait, Dani,” he stammered, reaching out to try and discourage her from this line of thinking. Hadn’t they already talked about this before?

“Hold on!” Kim interjected. “You’re not thinking about having Nick turn back into a girl again so you can have sex with him, right!?”

Dani nearly fell over. “WHAT?! NO! Why would you even think that!?” She sputtered, turning red as her face morphed with anger.

“Uh, because duh? That’s why?” Kim looked at the other girl like she was an idiot. “The way you were talking about it, it sounded like-”

“NO!” Dani shook her head firmly. “I-I don’t want to have sex with him! It doesn’t work like that! I don’t care if Nick has a penis or a vagina or… or both! He’s still a man, and I won’t be attracted to him even in a woman’s body! …Pr-probably!”

“Probably!?” Kim’s brain was starting to overheat. “So which is it!?”

“I don’t know!” Dani wailed. “I mean, yes, physically speaking, Nick’s female form was a little cute, but when I remember it’s still Nick on the inside, that immediately kills it for me!”

“OKAY, can we stop this, please?!” Nick shouted.

Both girls froze and turned to look at him, equally surprised.

Nick didn’t often raise his voice, and certainly not like this. It was enough to give both women pause. They stared at him tensely, not sure what to say.

It took a few seconds for Nick to regain his composure himself. When he did, his resolve had returned.

“Okay, first, I just want to put it out there that I am 100% NOT comfortable with turning into a girl again,” Nick said, putting his foot down. “So with that established, let’s try and discuss this whole thing rationally, okay?”

Both women meekly nodded, which was another surprise. Neither Dani nor Kim were the kind of person to “meekly” go along.

Nick sighed and scratched his head. “Putting aside that we all agreed not to use the Hall of Mirrors anymore… Dani, what are you talking about?”

Dani sucked in air, then exhaled. She fidgeted with her fingers and glanced at Nick. “It-it’s just, well… Nola said…”

There it was again, “Nola said”. Nick held back his frustration as best he could.

“She said… she reminded me… when you turned into a girl, remember how Rose touched your breasts? She got some Victory Points for that, so…” Dani was seldom this meek and shy, she knew herself better than this. But she couldn’t help feeling embarrassed to be talking about this.

“Of course, I knew somehow Rose would be the one at fault,” Kim joked, rolling her eyes.

It wasn’t the time for her bad jokes though. Nobody was laughing.

“So that’s what you wanted? Just to… touch me? As a girl?” Nick couldn’t deny that he felt uncomfortable about that. But he also couldn’t deny feeling pretty hypocritical given how much he’d already touched Dani when she was uncomfortable with it.

Dani nodded. “Well, see… I know we agreed not to go to the Hall of Mirrors, but… here, just have a look.”

She showed Nick the sheet for spending her BP; she hadn’t even looked at it since the first time she read it.

• 1000 BP: Bubbly Bubblicious – Contestant Dani will be given a box of gum. Anyone who chews it will become more feminine in temperament, becoming obsessed with cute and “girly” things at the cost of a sharp drop in IQ. (Effects wear off 6 hours. Contains 6 sticks of gum.)
• 2000 BP: Shake Weight™ – Contestant Dani will be given Shake Weight™ to train her body. Usage for a period of 30 consecutive minutes will release a discharge of “Man Cream” that, when swallowed, will temporarily transform her physique into a buff athlete with short hair once again. (Effects wear off after 12 hours. Comes with 3 doses of Man Cream. Additional doses must be purchased for 500 BP.)
• 10000 BP: Sapphic Kiss – Contestant Dani will be given a special tube of lipstick that, when applied, will turn anyone she kisses into a woman. (NOTE: This item cannot be purchased without consent from Master Nick. Should Master Nick not desire to turn into a woman for whatever reason, the lipstick will have no effect until such a time that he does. Effects wear off after 1 hour.)

Kim cringed a little. “Some of this stuff, it’s a little…”

“I know,” Dani said, rolling her eyes. “Believe me, I have no interest in any of it. But that last option…”

She let the words hang in the air, looking pointedly at Nick.

“I mean, if it’s just for an hour, that wouldn’t be so bad,” Kim said, reading over the sheet again. “I thought it would be, like, a full-day thing. And I was so totally against that, because, like, how would that even work?”

She made a face. “Maybe it doesn’t matter to you what Nick’s genitals look like, Dani, but it sure matters to me,” she griped, shaking her head. She handed the sheet back to Dani. “I’m not exactly interested in being with another woman.”

“Can we stop talking about my genitals?” Nick begged. Kim had a point though. One hour wasn’t the worst thing in the world.

He could go along with being a girl for one hour for Dani’s sake, couldn’t he?

“It’s a moot point anyway,” Dani said, putting the sheet away with a huff. “I couldn’t afford it even if I wanted to. It just got me a little frazzled, that’s all.”

She turned and looked at Nick. “Don’t worry. I was never seriously considering it. Nola just put the idea in my head and it was hard to shake, that’s all.”

Nick **** an awkward smile to his face. “Well… I appreciate that, really,” he said, nodding timidly. “But I don’t think you need to be so self-conscious about it, Dani. It’s fine. Besides, there’s still a lot of other stuff we can do together I bet.”

“Yeah, like twerking,” Kim said, nodding. “That should be fine! Especially considering your curves, right?” She tried to play things off again with a joke, but the awkward atmosphere caused it to go over like a lead balloon.

Dani sighed and hung her head. “Yeah… no thanks,” she grumbled, shaking her head.

“Still, there’s other stuff,” Nick encouraged her. “Stuff that won’t have to involve me changing my gender completely. That would make me feel a little uncomfortable.”

That finally managed to get a laugh out of Dani. Chuckling, she shook her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead. “Yeah, me too,” she agreed. “Still… I really can’t think of anything.”

Yup, it was a bit of an issue. Dani had resolved to try and earn some VP off of Nick today, as much as she could get. But the well had pretty much run dry on potential actions she could do with him that could be excused as platonic.

“…Maybe we’re going about this the wrong way,” Kim said, drawing the attention of the other two. They both looked curiously at her.

“What do you mean?” Dani asked, frowning.

“Well… we’re trying to think of stuff that you guys could do together that’s platonic, right?” Kim pointed out. “What if we went about it the other way?”

Nick couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Is she really suggesting…?

“Kim, the whole point is that I don’t do sexual stuff with him,” Dani reminded her coldly, crossing her arms over her chest. She put a voice to the objection that Nick had been preparing to make, much to his relief.

“Yeah, but… you’re going to,” Kim pointed out.

Dani bristled. “Huh?”

“We both are, isn’t that the whole point?” The shorter girl continued. She glanced over at Nick for a second. “Dani… we’re having a threesome in a couple of hours,” she reminded her friend. “I haven’t ever been in a threesome before, but… I assume there’s gonna be a lot of… t-touching, and… doing stuff… all three of us at once, right? Or even one at a time maybe…”

Her face was getting redder and redder and eventually it was too much to take. Kim had always been rather reserved and chaste, so talking about this stuff was flustering her almost as much as it would have Mary. She squeezed her eyes shut and buried her face in her hands. “Look, it’s embarrassing to think about, okay!? But it’s happening!”

Dani winced. “Yeah,” she admitted timidly. “I know. It’s kinda… a lot for me, too. To think about Nick that way…”

“A threesome is worth 10 VP,” Nick said quietly. “Maybe… maybe that’s enough, Dani? Do you think? Maybe?”

Dani glanced at her hand. She had 67 VP now. A little over 2/3rds towards her goal. An additional 10 VP would get her over 3/4ths of the way. She couldn’t discount how valuable that was.

But was it enough?

Dani sighed and shook her head. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “All I know is that I don’t want to compromise myself, Nick…”

She started tugging on her clothes. Suddenly she wished she could wear a shirt with sleeves, and for some reason her skirt felt far too short, even though it reached her ankles. She just couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable, even though she knew that Nick would never do anything with her that she wasn’t okay with.

“I-I’m not saying you need to jack him off or anything like that!” Kim said, peeking out from behind her fingers. “But what if you, like… I don’t know… m-masturbated?”

Dani and Nick both stared at her.

Nick turned red. “Masturbated? Kim, that’s a little much, don’t you think?”

“I know!” Kim wailed.

“…Actually maybe she’s right.”

Nick snapped his head around in shock to see Dani stroking her chin contemplatively. In spite of the embarrassment in her eyes, her face was serious.

It was almost as if she was actually considering it.

Kim’s jaw dropped. “Eh?” She squeaked.

“Well, think about it,” Dani said, raising her head. “If we’re going to have an actual threesome, I’m going to need to do more than that time with you and Carly,” she pointed out. “We’ve been dancing around it all day, but you’re going to be seeing me in a sexual situation, Nick. It’s unavoidable.”

Dani had already resolved herself to go that far when she agreed to Kim’s request. Even if it was still embarrassing. It helped that her Just One of the Guys transformation made her rather ambivalent about actually being seen sexually by Nick.

“Compared to watching Kim and I touching each other and getting each other off, watching me masturbate is actually pretty tame,” Dani pointed out.

“Yeah, uh, that’s what I meant,” Kim stammered. Her heart was pounding so fast in her chest. She’d just been trying to have a good time today, but hearing Dani of all people talk about things so seriously… it made the whole situation feel so much more real.

“And you’re… okay with that?” Nick asked cautiously. If she was, that would be a serious relief. But he didn’t want Dani’s desire for Victory Points to cause her to make a mistake that she’d later come to regret.

Dani blushed. “Look, I’m trying my best too,” she mumbled. “It’s not like I know much about threesomes. But like… maybe I could masturbate and you just don’t look at me, or something? Could that work?”

“Yeah, I doubt it,” Kim said bluntly. Nick had to agree. No way would Dakota let them skate by on a technicality like that. If Dani was going to get those Victory Points, she couldn’t just masturbate in front of him while he turned his head away.

He would be getting an eyeful, or no dice.

That helped reinforce Nick’s decision. “With that in mind, then maybe you shouldn’t-”

“Fine, then we’ll do that,” Dani interrupted him.

Nick stared at her in shock.

“…Seriously?”

“Y-yes!” Her face was hot. She clearly didn’t like this any more than he did, but she seemed determined. “Like I said, we’re having a threesome together,” she reminded him. “I wouldn’t have agreed to that if I didn’t plan to go at least that far!”

Kim had been right all along- they were looking at things the wrong way. Dani had initially planned to spend today building up to their threesome that night, doing platonic actions to win some VP. But they ran out of platonic stuff to do. That just left the more intimate acts, which they’d all been concerned about her doing, since it would definitely raise the temperature between them and could lead to a lot of awkwardness.

But there was a big difference between twerking or masturbating on an outing between friends, and doing so in the middle of a threesome. Somehow, Dani found that it was a lot easier to imagine herself doing that kind of stuff in the privacy of a bedroom while she was sharing the bed with Nick and another woman, even if she didn’t want Nick there.

…Right?

The more Dani thought about it, the more her heart began to race.

That’s right, it isn’t just the threesome, is it? The reason it seems easier for me to imagine doing that kind of stuff… it’s because thinking about Nick and Kim together sounds really fricking hot.

Dani had always considered herself to be pretty vanilla when it came to sex. Which made it seem so weird that she was dating a sex bomb like her girlfriend. But the more her brain thought about watching Nick together with a cute girl like Kim, the more she found herself getting aroused by the prospect, even if she didn’t like Nick that way in the slightest.

This is the Wingwoman transformation at work. It makes me aroused at the thought of seeing Nick with other girls… girls like Kim. Dani glanced surreptitiously at the confused tomboy and fought back her hungry grin.

She’s so cute… and she’s clearly embarrassed about this. Maybe even more than I am. But she really wants a threesome. And I want… I want to give her to Nick. I know it’s the transformation talking… but even knowing that… I also want to see that body I’ve helped her tone up in action. She’s got the stamina to give it to him all night, after all!

Dani had never been attracted to Kim before. Not while they were getting hot and sweaty together in the gym, or sharing the communal showers, or even their multiple dips together in the hot spring. Kim was a pretty woman, in a cute, “girl-next-door” kind of way, but Dani had just never thought about her in that context before.

Now it was all she could think about.

“…I’M SORRY!” She blurted out suddenly, startling both of them.

“Huh?” Kim jumped, caught by surprised. She looked at Dani. “Sorry? Sorry for… what?” She wondered, scratching her cheek.

Dani turned bright red and lowered her head. “Just… you know… sorry,” she said finally, timidly. She glanced warily between the two of them. “I’ve kinda been… fantasizing about you two together all day, if I’m being honest.”

Kim blushed and Nick just looked uncomfortable.

“Hey, it’s no big deal,” he said gently, trying to defuse the situation. “That’s just your transformation talking, right? Wingwoman. Your new one.”

“Yeah, it’s cool!” Kim nodded in agreement.

Dani sighed. “I know… I know it’s just my transformation,” she mumbled. “Still… don’t you think it’s kinda… weird?”

She definitely felt like a weirdo, anyway.

“What’s wrong with weird?” Kim asked bluntly, putting her hands on her hips. “You’re still cool, even if you’re having those thoughts, Dani.”

“Kim’s right,” Nick agreed, giving her a soft smile. “I’m really not bothered by that stuff, Dani. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed about it. You’re just being affected by a transformation, that’s all.”

Dani looked at her friends, overwhelmed with relief to hear that they weren’t thinking less of her for having those thoughts.

“Thanks, guys,” she said, wiping the tears from her eyes. “That means a lot.” With the weight lifted from her chest, Dani was ready to embrace the bright, happy situation in front of them.

However tonight went, she would face it with her eyes wide open.
