Chapter 5
The Makeover

"Chrissy get up it's time for breakfast"!

"I'm coming mom"!

Chrissy puts on a bath robe and goes downstairs.

"I'm starved whats for breakfast mom"?

"Oh the usual".

"Hey wheres dad"?

"He's gone to work already".

"So what do you have planned for today Chrissy"?

"Mom will you stop that it's Chris remember"!

"Ok what do you have planned for today Chris"?

"Nothing".

"Sounds exciting".

"Luckily I have things planned".

"Well you have fun mom I'll just hang out here".

"My plans include you".

"What"?

"I've decided that since you're going to continue to pretend to be a girl we might as well do it right".

"What does that mean mom"?

"Were going to spend today getting you everything a normal teenage girl needs".

"You're kidding right"?

"No"! "I even have a couple of surprises for you".

"Gee thanks mom".

"Finish your breakfast we have a busy day ahead of us". "Before you head up stairs here is your first surprise". "Chris's mom hands him a box". "Now go upstairs and put it on and I'll meet you in the living room in 10 minutes".

Chris goes upstairs to his room and opens the box. Inside is a girls excersize outfit, a pair of tights and a matching leotard. "You have to be kidding"! Chriss yells to his mother.

"I am not kidding put them on now and get down here" she yells back in reply.

Chriss grudingly puts on the outfit and heads to the living room.

"Ok I'm here now what"?

"My dont you look nice"?

"Mom"!!

"Well you do". "That outfit makes you look very feminine and you have a very nice figure to."

"Gee thanks". "Can we get on with this already"?

"Ok as I said at breakfast since you have decided to continue being a girl you will need to learn to act like one". "So were going to start with an exercise program".

"But why do I have to wear this"?

"All girls want to look good when they exercise". "I 'm going to show you what I do every morning and then you can try other exercises yourself if you want but you will need to do something to keep your figure". "Lets get started".

Chris's mother turns on the VCR and the tape begins. "This is an aerobics tape that I use just try to copy what I do".

"This is dumb"!

"Just give it some time you'll get it".

After a while Chris begins to learn the moves and can keep up with the tape. 20 minutes later the tape ends.

"Wow thats a lot harder than it looks, and you do this every day"?

"How do you think I keep this girlish figure"? "Go get cleaned up and change into something casual we've just begun".

Chris goes upstairs takes off his clothes and heads to the bathroom to take a shower. He hasn't realized how hard the workout really was till his steps into the shower and the warm water begins to relax his muscles. Feeling refreshed after the shower he goes to his sisters room to find some clothes to wear he picks some fairly conservative panites and a matching bra and puts them on. This he tops off with a pair of jeans and a plain blouse. Finally he touches up his hair and makeup a quick glance in the mirror and he heads downstairs.

"You look nice dear".

"Thanks mom". "Where are we going"?

"Come on I'll tell you on the way".

They get into the car.

"Ok where"?

"We're going to the mall".

"To the mall". "Why"?

"We have to do some shopping for you".

"For me, what do I need"?

"Well clothes, makeup, underwear, etc".

"What why do I need that stuff"? "I can use sis's till this is over".

"First you don't know when this will be over". "Second some of her things won't fit you correctly and lastly all girls have their own things".

"Oh god"!

They arrive at the mall.

"Come on Chrissy".

They enter the department store and head straight into the womens section.

"Ok were looking for clothes in this store well get the underware and cosmetics in a different store in the mall". "Lets see where should we start"? "How about this"? she says while holding a pair of girls jeans.

Chris is very nervous and looks constently from side to side afraid someone will see him in the womens area.

"Chrissy I said how do you like these"? Chris looks at the jeans and says. "They look fine".

"Good you can try them on then".

"What in here"?

"Of course in here".

His mother calls over a clerck. "Miss can you show my daughter the changing room".

"Certainly madam".

"Now take these Chrissy and try them on I'll keep looking".

"Chris smiles nervously at the clerk then follows her to the changing rooms".

"This one is available".

"Thanks".

Chrissy enters the changing room and takes of f the jeans he was wearing, thinking to himself , I hope no one is watching this. He then begins to put on the pair his mother picked out, but they dont seem to fit. Finally he gives up and goes back to his mother.

"Mom these are to small".

"Oh I thought I had the right size". "Lets see".

She holds up the pants to Chris's waist and says. "They look correct to me".

"Well they don't fit I can't buckle them".

"Ok I'll help you come on".

She grabs Chris by the hand and drags him to the changing area. "This one is open come on". She drags Chris into the booth. "Now take off those old jeans".

"Mom this is embarassing"!

"What no one can see you and I've seen everything you have many times".

"Mom"!

"We haven't got all day".

Chris removes his jeans and puts on the new ones.

"See they don't fit". "I cant close them".

"That's because you don't know how". "Now take a deep breath and hold it". While he does this his mother zips up the jeans and buckles them. "There that wasnt so hard now was it"?

"But I can't breath".

"You'll get used to it thats one of the things a girl must do to look good". "They fit fine well take them". "Come on we have a lot more shopping to do".

The next few hours seem a blur to Chris as his mother picks out outfit after outfit and he has to try on and model each one. Finally they purchase enougth clothes to make a dozen or so outfits. By this time Chrissy is sick of trying on clothes and puts on his original outfit to get ready to leave.

"Come on Chrissy we're ready to go".

"Where now mom"?

"You still need underware and makeup". "I think we'll do the underware first".

"Great"! "Hey"! "What happened to all the stuff you bought"?

"It's being delivered".

They arrive at a store specilizing in womens undergarments.

"Ok I think well start with the panties over there".

"These will do nicely for everyday, do you remember your size"?

"How can I forget from what I went through in that last store"?

"Then find a couple of packages in your size and I'll keep looking".

Chris picks out two of the most convservative packages of panties he can find.

"Chrissy come over here"!. His mother shouts from across the store.

Chris walks to the other side of the store blushing and trying to act like he doesn't know this lady.

"Mom do you have to yell it's embarassing".

"Oh forget that look at these". she says holding up a lacey black pantie and matching bra. "You'll look devine in these".

"Mom I can't wear those".

"We'll worry about that later for now we'll get two sets one in red and one in black".

Again what seems like hours go by as Chris's mom seems to buy everything and anything she sees. Finally she slows down and says. "Well I think we have everything we need in here but I feel like were missing something". "Let me think panties, bras, stockings, pantyhose, nightgown". "Nightgown"! "Thats it we forgot to get you something to wear to bed".

"I can sleep in the nude mom".

"Good girls don't sleep in the nude not in my house anyway". "Come on"!.

Chris suddenly finds himself deep in the intimate appearel area of the store. Looking around he sees things he only dreamed of seeing on girls. He would have never imagined that he would be wearing them oneday.

Holding up a pair of conservative pink pajamas his mom asks. "What about these"?

"I like those says", Chris quickly, trying to make sure she doesn't get anything more girlish.

She holds them up to Chris and says. "Yes they are nice but I don't think they go with your image".

"My image"?

"Yes all girls have an image and this doesn't suit yours".

My image I have an image? Chris thinks to himself.

"Yes this is more like it we better get two".

"What"! "What did you buy I wasn't looking"?

"You'll see soon enough". "Lets get some lunch".

His mother pays for the purchases then they head toward the food court.

"What do you want to eat dear"?

"I'm not that hungry mom".

"Good that will help you with your figure". "I'll get something you find us a table".

Chris looks for the most secluded table in the food court and finds one way in the corner. His mother returns with the food.

"Here you go dear eat up".

Chris looks at the tray and says. "Wheres the rest of it".

"What rest you said you weren't hungry".

"Yeah, but this is just a salad how about a burger and fries".

"You can't just eat whatever you wan't you know". "All that junk will ruin your figure".

"Oh yeah" Chris thinks to himself. I'm getting awfully tired of this worrying about my figure deal.

"Let's finish up dear we have an appointment soon".

"Where"?

"You'll see it's another of my surprises".

Chris glances off to her side and sees a boy staring at her.

"What wrong dear"?

"I think that guy is looking at me".

"So whats wrong with that:? "All boys like to look at pretty girls".

"I don't want him to get any ideas he might come over or something".

"Is that all I can take care of that".

"Mom don't"!

Chrissy's mom signals the boy to come over.

"Excuse me I noticed you were staring at my daughter young man".

"Yes mam".

"Well here name is Chrissy and your name is"?

"Tom"

"Tom why were you staring at my daughter"?

"Mom"!

"Uh, well I just thought see looked nice".

"You hear that Chrissy he thinks you look nice".

"Mom your embarassing me"!

"Well its been nice to meet you Tom but we have to go maybe you and Chrissy can meet again".

"I'd like that". See ya.

Chrissy and her mom begin to walk to the other end of the mall.

"Mom why did you do that"?

"What I just introduced you to a nice boy".

"Mom I don't want to meet nice boys I'm a boy remember".

"Were here dear".

Chris's mother drags him througth the door. Once inside Chris sees that his mother has taken him into a beauty parlor.

Whispering Chris says. "This is a beauty parlor mom, I shouldnt be in here".

"Nonsense, Chrissy all girls go to the beauty parlor". Just then the clerk arrives.

"Hello what may I do for you"?

"My daughter and I have an appointment for the works".

"Yes won't you both follow me".

The clerk leads them into the back room where she instructs them to each take a chair.

"Roberto will be with you in a minute".

A few minutes later a handsome looking man walks into the room.

"Good afternoon ladies and such beautiful ladies".

Chris thinks. "Oh brother what a geek".

"What do we have planned for today"? "Oh yes, I see the works, but two such lovely ladies do not need the works".

Chris thinks. "I'm going to hurl".

"I will of course do the hair my associates will do your nails and makeup". "Shall we begin"?

"Janet please come here" he yells.

Janet you will do the nails for these two lovely ladies.

"Yes Roberto".

"Michelle can you come here", he yells.

Michelle you will do the makeup for these two lovely ladies. "Yes Roberto".

Let us begin.

"I'll start with the daughter first you two will attend to the mother while I work".

"Yes Roberto" they respond in unison.

Roberto moves to the chair Chris is seated in.

"Now what shall we do with you, hmm"? He then circles around the chair looking at Chris from all sides.

Chris thinks. "This guy is a loon".

Finally he stops in back of the chair and takes some of Chris's hair into his hand.

"You have very fine hair mademoiselle". "It shall be a masterpiece when I am done".

He then begins to works on Chris's hair. Leaning the chair back and one of his assistants washes Chris's hair. Roberto then instructs her to apply a series of chemicals to the hair and lets them sit for a few minutes.

While waiting Chris can see the other two assistants working on his mothers nails and makeup. It seems they are trying countless combinations on her and can't find the one Roberto likes.

The assistant lowers the chair again and rinses off the chemicals. Roberto comes over to inspect the work and approves. The assistant then begins to roll Chris's hair onto curlers. When she is done a hair dryer is lowered over Chris's head. Chris can continue to watch the work being done on his mother but can't hear anything but the dryer.

The assistant doing his mother's nails finishes and begins her job on Chrissy. With the heat and the sound of the hair dryer Chris is lulled to spleep. When se awakens he finds that his nails are now a long slender style in a deep red color with a glossy finish.

While Chris examines his nails and wonders what he is going to do about them Roberto returns.

"Now make you beautiful". He then proceedes to use what seems like an endless assortment of tools and gadgets on Chris's hair not stopping till he is content with the result.

"Wella it is a masterpiece".

"Can I see"? says Chris.

"No you must wait for the full effect". "Michelle must do your makeup then you may see".

Michelle begins the same painstaking process of trial and error that Chris saw her do on his mother. Finally the correct combination is found and Roberto proclaims. "It is done". "You are beautiful".

"Now can I see"? says Chris.

"Certainly". "Michelle if you please".

Michelle leads Chris to a full length mirror.

Chris looks into the mirror and is stunned. He has kind of gotten used to seeing a babe in the mirror over time but nothing like what he sees. This girl is gorgeous. Her hair is the most beautiful blonde color and styled in the most femine way. The hair along with the long lashes and pouty red lips seem to emphazsize every feminine aspect of his face while eliminating anything that could have been male. In total he sees the most gorgeous girl he could ever have imagined.

"Well what do you think" says Roberto?

"I dont know what to say". "I'm speechless". "I've never seen anything so beautiful".

"It is not hard when you are a genius and when you start with such a beautiful lady".

Chris blushes.

Chris's mother comes in. "Come on Chrissy we have to go". Chris turns around and his mother stares at him. "That's you Chrissy"?

"Yeah mom it's me".

"Roberto you are a genius".

"I know".

Chris and his mom leave the parlor and head for the car.

"I still cant believe it you look great"! "You looked good before but now".

"I know I can't belive it myself mom".

When they arrive home mom says. "Wait I have another surprise for you".

"What"?

"Now close your eyes and follow me".

She leads Chris upstairs to his room. She opens the door and they go in. "Ok you can open them".

Chris looks around and sees what is definitely a girls room. The walls are a pastel pink in color. In one corner sits a makeup table filled with bottles, and on the top is a large mirror. In another corner is an assortment of stuffed animals and dolls. In the center is a large canopy bed with rufles in a shade of pink that matches the walls.

"Mom what did you do"?

"Thats not all dear". "See! here is all the things we bought and some of your sisters old things".

She opens the doors to the closet and shows it is filled with girls clothes of all kinds and shapes.

"Here is your underware and other things". She says opening the drawers on a dresser against the wall.

"I've tryed to think of everything that would be in a teenage girls room and put it in here". "Theres even a phone, a computer, and a TV". "Oh and look here I heard that girls these days like Leonardo so I had them put up a poster".

Chrissy looks at the poster. "It's Decaprio mom not Davinci".

"Oh well you can change it if you want".

"Mom this is to much"!

"Don't worry about it you needed your own room when your sister comes back and you need some place when the girls come over".

"Girls come over"! "Oh no"!

"I'll leave you to get settled in". "Oh by the way I left you one more surprise on the bed". "See you in the morning".

Chris looks around the room in shock. "How could this get any worse"?, he says.

Sitting on the edge of the bed to recuperate he spots a box and opens it to find a tutu. Holding it up he thinks, "What in the world"? Then he notices a note in the box.

Chrissy: by now you've seen the tutu and are wondering why I would give you this. The answer is simple I have heard about you from Gwen's mother she tells me you are just starting high school and used to be a cheerleader at your old school. she also said that Gwen was kind enough to get you enrolled at high school here and even sign you up for the cheerleading squad. That of course means that Chrissy is going to be here for a long time so you better be prepared exercise and ballet should help you to get in shape especially for your cheerleading. Your classes start tommorrow.

Love mom.

"Ballet! Ballet! is she nuts I cant do ballet". "God what next"?

Chris places the tutu and note back into the box and heads to the closet. Opening the door he places the box on the shelf but before closing the door he stops to look at himself in the mirror attached the door. Again he see that gourgeous girl that he saw at the beauty parlor and imagines her in a tutu performing swan lake to the applause of millions.

Breaking out of his dream Chris begins to undress neatly folding his clothes and putting them away. While looking in the closet he didn't notice any nightwear so he goes to the dresser and begins to search. Finding nothing but bras and pantities in the first few drawers he opens the last drawer. There are no pajamas only two teddies one red and one black, with matching panties. He puts on the black one and goes to bed tired from all the shopping, confused from all that has happened, and happy about his new look.
