The best of a few worlds

“Hi Ashley!”

Lisa was all smiles as she greeted her friend, a radiance and genuine affection emanating from her that was typical and made it so easy to be attracted to her.

“Oh Lisa, this is a surprise!”

Ashley met her friend in a warm hug, her smaller body pressing against Lisa’s big, indulgent breasts, warm smiles on both their faces, before leading her into the apartment.

“I was just in the neighborhood, and thought while I was over here anyway why not call around for a catch-up.”

Ashley scootched over on the couch, throwing pillows about to make room, Lisa smoothing out her lavender skirt as she sat.

“We did see each other just this morning for class you know…!”

Ashley laughed, to Lisa’s reply;

“Okay, okay, so you got me! I just couldn’t help seeing you again! You already know how much I love spending time with you.”

A light blush took to Ashley’s cheeks, as her lips shaped themselves into an embarrassed look. Even though Lisa and her were friends, utterly comfortable in each other’s company, there was something about hearing that from her that never failed to excite, and fill the heart with a feeling like love.

“Mhmm… you know I love spending time with you too, Lisa…”

“Getting a little flustered?”

Lisa teased, sensing how her friend was feeling, and scooting a little closer.

“Huh…? As if!”

Ashley protested, before both girls began to giggle, as Lisa reached over and hugged her again. Ashley couldn’t help but let out a small moan of affection; Like so many friendships between girls, theirs had some sapphic undercurrents that neither really acknowledged, while both enjoyed the easy familiarity of physical affection; cuddling together often.

“Mhmm, Lisa. You know I have a boyfriend now… What if he gets jealous of the way we hold each other?”

“Well is he here now? I have nothing to hide, maybe he can watch us.”

Lisa’s teasing was on the verge on flirting at this point, and was a little further than either girl ever regularly went. Ashley’s giggles indicated she didn’t really want it to end though.

“Stop it, you! Yeah, he’s in the bedroom. I think he’s still napping, we had a fun morning together.”

“Were you guys out doing something, or…?”

“No, no… just in the bedroom.”

Ashley said it a little sheepishly, but she couldn’t resist a guilty smile as she blushed, clearly enjoying all the memories.

“Ashley, you’re such a bad girl now! But, well… I am really glad to see you so happy. I think you’ve really found a keeper.”

Lisa’s smile was warm and genuine, a deep love of her friend informing just how happy she was to see her succeed.

“Yeah, he does make me really happy… who would have thought Jimmy would be such a good boyfriend? It seemed like our relationship came out of no-where…”

Ashley looked thoughtful, before continuing with the smile;

“… But I guess it was fate! All of my manifesting finally yielded some results.”

“Hmm, call that ‘man’ifesting in this case.”

Lisa laughed at her lame joke, Ashley feigning disgust before joining in. Seeing Lisa have a good time made it almost impossible not to want to laugh along.

“It seems like you’ve been getting so close lately, you probably won’t even need it.”

Lisa looked coy as she leaned back, to be met with a raised eyebrow from Ashley.

“Need it?”

“Oh, nothing.”

“Wait, what are you talking about? Need what? C’mon Lisa, tell me! You know I get way too curious.”

“Do you really want to know?”

“Uhh, duh! What are you talking about?”

Lisa looked a little indecisive for a moment, trying to work out whether to keep the charade going for longer before deciding to tell her friend.

“Okay, soooo… I heard about this new way to get closer with the person you love. It’s guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience, and it leads to a deeper intimacy than ever before.”

“Was this something you heard about online? I’m pretty skeptical.”

Ashley had a look like she definitely needed convincing, too many disappointments in her past to ever think something to do with love would ever be that easy.

“I can guarantee it works.”

“How?”

Ashley’s skepticism was at an all time high.

“Because I did it with my crush! And I can really say it’s totally changed our dynamic. I’m closer to him now than I ever thought possible.”

Ashley’s eyes lit up, this sudden gossip seeming to come out of no-where.

“OMG what?? Lisa, you have a crush? You’ve been holding out on us! Does Emmy already know? I can’t believe you wouldn’t tell me! Who is he? Does he go to our University? Does-!”

“Heyy! Okay, okay, I’ll tell you everything, okay! About this technique, and about my crush! Although…”

“No way, you’re NOT backing out of this one!”

Ashley closed the distance in a second, her legs pressing up against Lisa’s, faces only a couple inches apart.

“Well, you know… I’m a little shy about him. I’ve been keeping him to myself, wrapped up tight…”

Lisa blushed and looked down, such bashfulness looking way too cute on her perfect face.

“Oh my God, Lisa… I HAVE to know.”

It was almost as if Ashley’s eyes were full of stars, overwhelming curiosity compelling her to find out more. Lisa leaned over, hand by her mouth, ready to whisper all of the juicy details to her bestie.

“Oh… wow…”

Ashley looked surprised by the news for just a moment, before a strange, blissful malaise came over over, a sleepy, vacant look in her eyes. Within a few moments though, the full girl was no more, reduced to nothing more than a wearable skinsuit, a tool anyone could use to become the pretty young blonde.

For her own part, Lisa had a look of deep satisfaction, and an uncharacteristic grin that seemed infused with a sinister quality, and the predatory nature of an alpha hunter.

“Cute outfit.”

Jimmy’s voice came from the bedroom doorway, as he leaned against the doorframe.

“Thanks! I think I’m developing a real eye for this sort of thing.”

Lisa leaned back, relaxing on the couch as she crossed her legs with a smile. It was true, her outfit was extremely cute. A lavender skirt matched a lavender cardigan, with an elegant blouse underneath. Her glossy black hair was accessorized with a matching hair bow, while her feet were covered with white socks terminating in chunky black loafers

“I’ve got a cuter outfit for you to wear right here though.”

Her smile growing mischievous, Lisa plucked up the vacant Ashley, almost skipping over to Jimmy and handing her husk over to him.

Jimmy looked a little conflicted as he accepted, some guilt managing barely to hold back the curious, almost overwhelming desire just behind it.

“And you’re sure she won’t remember this?”

“Of course not! Not after I edit her memories just a little. Has she ever seemed to remember how exactly your relationship started, after all?”

“That’s true…”

Jimmy trailed, before his enthusiasm took over and her rushed into the bedroom. Now it was Lisa’s turn to lean against the doorframe, as she watched Jimmy get inside his girlfriend’s skinsuit with a nostalgic smile.

“So, it seems your relationship is going really well.”

“It’s been amazing so far… I feel more for her than anyone I’ve ever met.”

It was an incongruous sight, such wholesome, sincere words contrasted with the very dubious scene that was unfolding in the bedroom.

“I hear about it mainly from Ashley these days, she’s really falling for you. It makes me really happy to see her feeling so good…”

Jimmy had taken her legs now, and was marveling at how smooth and soft they were, the exotic sensation of male hands moving across female legs as the wearer feels both sensations. In between his fascination with gaining her body, Jimmy was still managing to keep a conversation going.

“I guess it has been a long time since we properly hung out. Sorry man, I’ve just been so busy with Ashley. When was the last time…?”

“Mhmm, we went out drinking a few weeks ago. Maybe you don’t remember because of all those shots.”

Shared laughter filled the room, before Jimmy’s turned to moans as he was overwhelmed by the sensation of Ashley’s pussy replacing his own male internals.

“Don’t… ahhmmmm… oh my God… ahem… don’t act as if you weren’t getting messy too that night.”

I could tell he was struggling a little to form sentences, the powerful richness of female sexuality providing an almost poisonous pleasure to someone who’d grown up male.

“Yeah, I guess I was… it was such a strange experience actually.”

Wrapped up in Lisa’s skinsuit, I reflected on the night in question. It had been the first time I’d taken her off in weeks. Getting dressed in my own male clothes, making an appearance in my flat. I could tell my flatmates were relieved to see me, or at least Frank and Alicia were. Well, every flat traditionally has a “ghost flatmate”; one who is seen so infrequently it’s as though they aren’t even there to begin with. Impressive I could get the title, compared to Grace, the shy girl I lived with.

“Oh really? What was so strange about it?”

“Just… you know. Blending into the background again. Actually waiting for ages at the bar to get served. Having people pay me no mind as I walked around. Getting practically no attention in the nightclub we went after.”

Jimmy laughed a little as he flexed Ashley’s fingers, before replying;

“You make your life sound so sad! It must have been relaxing, at least?”

“Yeah, it was, kinda… it was a nice break I guess. But still, as soon as I got back that night, I have to admit…”

“Hmmm?”

He was fondling the new breasts that were appearing on his chest now, a grin halfway between wondrous and lewd taking his features as the sinews joined up the back of Ashley as made him all her from the neck down.

“I got back inside Lisa faster than ever before. You, know, in a weird way, it was like her skin wanted me inside it too. It almost seemed to eat me, sinews and slimy parts absorbing and covering me, like it was hungry.”

“That sounds… kinda hot…”

Jimmy was so distracted feeling up Ashley’s body, enjoying it from the inside with a dreamy smile on his face. I knew he could relate to what I was describing. I chuckled a little, easily finding the humor even as I mused about my own situation.

“Mhmm, yeah, well… it was. Buuutttt, part of why I was so excited when I got your text is, now we can have a do-over of that night!”

I watched on as I spoke, getting to see the slightly freaky sight of Ashley’s face distend a little as Jimmy’s was stuffed inside, the strange momentary vision of how it would look with an entirely different skull behind it, before it tightened and grew smooth like magic. When Jimmy opened his eyes, he was seeing the world now through Ashley’s beautiful pacific blues.

“Hmm…? Oh my God. Oh my God!”

The new girl seemed to shiver a little, hugging herself; the overwhelming sensation of hearing that cute voice leave his lips, of literally being the girl he loved, filling Jimmy with a thrilling ecstasy. My smile was affectionate as I watched him, knowing exactly how he was feeling.

“Enjoying yourself?”

“Oh wow, yes! Thank you so much Alex!”

“Ashley” ran over, wrapping her arms around me and pulling me close. I held her tight, enjoying the feeling of her smaller, naked body pressing up against mine, our boobs pressing together, and the attractive smell of her hair.

"Any time, Ashley. After all, what are besties for?”

I winked as I imitated Lisa, feeling a rich pleasure tumble around my heart.

“And really, I’m grateful to you too… I’ve really wanted to have a ‘girls night out’ with you, and it seems so perfect this way. Two best friends, wearing two best friends… each of us wrapped up tight in our crushes.”

“People are really going to see me as Ashley, I’m going to wear her clothes, smile her smile…”

The look of wonder in “her” eyes melted my heart a little.

“I love Ashley, I really do. Ever since we’ve started dating, it’s been a dream, really. But I… I just couldn’t totally forget. You know… what we did together. As Lisa and Emmy. How it felt… being a girl. So I, you know. I really wanted to see how it would feel being Ashley. She’s the one I really love…”

I couldn’t help but laugh as I pulled him in for another tight, tender hug.

“What, don’t laugh at me!”

“I’m not, I’m not! You don’t have to worry so much. I can see you struggling to justify it to me. I get it Jimmy, I really do. I mean, hey. I’ve barely taken Lisa off for nearly a month! If anyone understands the appeal of being your crush, it’s me. We’ll restore Ashley tomorrow, give her fun memories of girl’s night. The only thing she’ll remember about this time is having fun. And any other time you want to be her, any other time you want to experience being the cute, fun blonde girl with the pretty smile, I can make it happen. Or even if you want to try something else? I could see you trying out a goth girl for a day, you know? Maybe I’ll try being a sexy librarian, or a bitchy fitness girl or something? We can have all kinds of fun with these powers.”

I laughed, before he joined me, the pressure of being judged tumbling away while the open minded, possibility filled comfort and hope of acceptance expanded both our horizons.

“Okay, okay! All of that sounds really good, I’m totally down. But really, do you ever use this power on guys? Or is it only girls you’re interested in being?”

His teasing sounded so cute coming out in Ashley’s voice, as I laughed along.

“Hmm, my my. You mean you’d rather I was a big, strong guy right now? While you’re in that cute, little body? Be careful you don’t cheat on yourself while you’re in there now.”

“Wha- what?! No…”

A furious blush took to Ashley’s cheeks, and the incredibly lewd, forbidden idea of having sex with a guy while wearing his girlfriend's body burst into Jimmy’s head.

“…Mhmm, maybe you are better when you’re wearing girls. I mean…”

His embarrassed, lewd thoughts turned a little more thoughtful as he looked over me, while I turned my head to the side, letting my long, beautiful dark hair cascade onto my shoulders.

“… you are kinda good at it. No, really. Like, really good at it.”

“Are you saying I’m super, duper cute? Or maybe I embody the quiet, gentle beauty of traditional femininity? Or mayyyybe I’m your super, hot, dream girl?”

I made sure to pose with each statement, looking immature and bratty at first, then demure and feminine, before finally letting one hand rest on my hip with the confident, teasing sensuality of a girl who knew she was hot stuff. All this before eventually just laughing, the fun inherent to my silly poses making me feel light and happy.

“No, no, don’t laugh like that was some unrealistic joke! Like, you aren’t seeing this from an outsider’s perspective like I am. No, seriously, I mean you really, really embodied all of those poses. I know Lisa is just gorgeous anyway, but somehow you seemed even more attractive doing all that than she used to be! Maybe she kinda had a perfect, unapproachable princess thing before, or something… I mean, you still have her princess vibe, but like, I don’t know. You seem more fun or something. You’re just… you’re just way too good at wearing women… way too good at being Lisa.”

Hearing him say all that made my heart feel so funny, like it was melting, a rich euphoria tumbling around inside me. A blush took to my cheeks now, as my knees got ever so slightly weak.

“Mhmm… I mean, thank you… that makes me feel really, really good somehow. I guess it’s just more fun wearing women, you know? Being so cute, looking in the mirror and really getting to embody everything I’m attracted to. Plus it’s so exciting, I was already a guy for my whole life, so being some other guy would hardly be special. But being a girl, being a woman, it’s all so new, and so fun. It’s just… I mean, I think if anyone got these powers, they’d want to be the opposite gender. It’s so much hotter…”

“Now who’s trying to justify things?”

Jimmy in Ashley laughed, before walking towards the bedroom.

“C’mon!”

She waved me after her, as I followed along.

“Wanna help me pick out an outfit? After all, you said it yourself. You are developing an eye for this sort of thing. And, well…”

She jumped on the bed now, with a peculiar look in her eye.

“… maybe first we could… cuddle…?”
