A Whateley Academy Tale
Fey: PMS and Other Problems

Whateley: September 7, 2006
Burnout (of a kind)
Nikki let out a long,
exasperated sigh as yet another group of guys checked her out in the dining
communal dining room of Crystal Hall.
“What’s wrong with you?” Toni
questioned over her cup of unsweetened tea.
“Just tired.” The redhead
shrugged, then added. “And feeling kind of funny right now. I’ve haven’t felt
too well all day long.”
“Maybe you should go to the
clinic, then.” Tennyo put in between stuffing unbelievable amounts of food into
her mouth. Privately, Nikki wondered with some amusement how the girl managed
to even carry all the platters she had chosen for her lunch without actually
juggling them.
“I don’t know, I just, you know,
ache all over. Especially through my hips, my scalp feels like it’s trying to
crawl off my head, and my -- umm -- breasts feel like they’ve been doused with
itching powder.” Nikki answered with a funny look on her face as she realized
what all that might imply. “Uh oh.”
“Did she just say uh oh?”
Hank nervously questioned from behind the mound of food he was consuming while
scanning the dining area for any sign of wayward magical beasties bent on
mayhem.
“Yeah, but don’t worry about it
Hunk.” Toni chuckled. “I get the feeling that this doesn’t have anything to do
with hobgoblins, does it Nikki?”
“Uh, no.” The redhead grimaced
then winced as an obvious pain hit her from somewhere below the beltline. “I
think I’m going to go lie down for an hour before I have to go to Powers
Theory. I really don’t feel good at all.”
“Need someone to walk back with
you?” Tennyo asked with concern on her face and in her female drill sergeant’s
voice.
“No, but thanks.” Nikki actually
let out a giggle as she looked at the separate mounds of food still waiting for
the other girl’s attention. “You go ahead and finish your lunch. I’ll be
okay. Just need to rest a little after last night.”
“We all did kind of stretch
ourselves powers wise against those ninjas didn’t we?” Toni put in.
“Yeah.” giving the bouncy black
girl a weak smile, Nikki winced again. “I never opened up to mine the way I
did last night. Or used them so much.”
“Go get some rest, then.” Jade
put in with a little frown as she put the descriptions of how the redhead was
feeling into the context of a girl who was maturing. “I’ll come back and get
you to walk to Powers Theory in about an hour, ok?”
“Uh huh.” Nikki swallowed nausea
and forced the bile threatening to creep up her throat and past her tightly
closed lips back down. “See you then.”
As she made her way out of the
common dining area, Nikki heard comments from groups of admiring guys having to
do with her looking much better in a thin nightie so much that she wanted to
stop and scream at them, then wondered why it bothered her so much. Guys were
going to be guys, after all, and having been one herself not all that long ago
-- fully, at least -- she could understand the talk and admiring glances sent
her way.
But she just felt so Horrible
that hearing the comments grated on her. Worse, they made her want to actually
turn her powers loose on some of the more obnoxious ones. But she gritted her
teeth and put up with both the comments and the strange emotions churning in
her mind.
Until one guy, a fairly good
looking one with longish golden hair told his friends loudly enough for
everyone in the area to hear. “So she was really hot in that nightgown. I’d
rather see her without it, if you know what I mean. Now that would be Hot.
It was just too much by about an
inch. Closing her eyes for a moment, she gathered in the lines she could
easily reach, holding the obvious show of power down to a subtle enough level
that parents and other non-clued in visitors would have a hard time noticing,
and with a calm she didn’t feel, sauntered over to the offending young man’s
table.
“Would you mind repeating what
you just said?” She asked with a little smile while looking right into the
guy’s face.
“Well.” Typically, he wasn’t
looking at her face in response as the guy shrugged. “I guess you heard
it right the first time, didn’t you, sweet cheeks?”
“I guess I did.” With a sweet
smile on her face, Nikki found the precise lines she had been looking for and
worked a minor transformation in them. The material of the boy’s cotton jeans
suddenly shifted density and texture while other parts of the garment moved
around. He let out a small, shocked gasp as his pants tightened uncomfortably
around his male pride and joy then again as they completely unraveled and
vanished.
“I’d sit there really carefully
for a while.” Nikki informed him with another much cheerier smile and little
wink. “Unless you’d really like to show off your sweet cheeks to
everyone here.”
The boy just stared at his naked
lap, then glared up at the petite redhead standing so nonchalantly in front of
his table.
“Of course, if you really
want to get nasty with me.” Nikki shrugged and gave him her sunniest smile. “I
could make sure the rest of you gets shown off, too, sweetie.”
“Gah!” Was the only thing that
came from his mouth.
Nikki giggled as she heard one
of his friends whisper. “I told you she was a magic user, dumbass! But
would you listen? Nooo! You had to go and piss her off anyway.”
With a little wave of one hand,
she let go of the lines and allowed his pants to return, then raised the same
hand in a friendly wave. “Well, see you guys around. Try and be a little more
considerate of other’s feelings in the future, could you please?”
Nikki actually felt just a bit
better after that bit of mischief. At least for a few minutes. She was able
to pretty well ignore any other comments about Bedtime Babes and the like on
her way out of the dining room.

Powers Theory should have been
interesting, but with the droning monotone of the instructor, her sleepiness
from the interrupted nap, and the near constant churnings in her tummy, Nikki
could barely keep from bolting for the nearest bathroom, or falling back to
sleep.
Jade, seated next to her, saved
that indignity from happening when she leaned slightly and questioned. “You’re
a level three Esper, aren’t you?”
“Uh, huh, empath.” Nikki
answered quietly, finally focusing on the lecture enough to understand the
relevance of the other’s question. “But that’s still unofficial. I haven’t
been tested for it here yet.”
She managed to get through the
class, but for the life of her, couldn’t recall the instructor’s name. Waving
bye to Jade she headed for the next class on her truncated schedule, Home
Economics with a slight grimace.
She was able to get through that
one without much thought or effort. Doing things like her own laundry,
cooking, and keeping things straight around the house had become almost second
nature to Nick once his parent’s had separated. Especially with his mother
working even harder at her own job.
She even managed to share a
giggle with some other girls at the sick look on some of the boy’s faces upon
hearing that they would have to learn to do all those normal housekeeping
chores and more. Still, that class too, went past in a haze that had her
working to even recall who the teacher was or even the name of the girl she had
been sitting beside.
Principles of Magic did,
however, catch her immediate attention. Beltane was there, and winked in
greeting before giving her a concerned look. “Are you feeling ok, Nikki?”
“No.” The redhead shook her head
and regretted that as sharp pains shot from her forehead all the way over the
top of her head and down to her neck. “I feel weird all over, and like I want
to throw up all the time.”
“Weird how?” The older girl
questioned while looking over the younger one. “Bad enough to go to see a
doctor?”
“I don’t know.” Nikki miserably
shrugged, then grimaced. “I mean, I feel awful, but not so bad that I
can’t get around.”
“So what classes have you been
to this afternoon?” Belle asked abruptly.
“Umm, Home Ec, and Powers
Theory.” Nikki replied after a little thought.
“Uh huh, and who were the
teachers you had?”
“I don’t remember.” The redhead
shrugged then winced. “I wasn’t paying real close attention in either one of
them, to be honest.”
“That’s it then.” Belle nodded
in decision. “Come with me.”
Nikki allowed herself to be
pulled to the front of the class and presented to a tall, slim woman with honey
blonde hair flowing down her back in a exuberant flood of shining tresses that
almost seemed to have a life of their own.
“Ms. Tenent, this is the girl I
was telling you about.” Belle introduced her. “Nikki Reilly, this is Ophelia
Tenent, she’s a practicing witch and is the instructor for this course.”
“Glad to meet you, Miss Reilly.”
Ophelia smiled as she answered in a soft, musical voice that soothed as it
demanded attention. “Is there something wrong here?”
“I think using her magic last
night caused some kind of reaction, she isn’t well just now.” Belle responded
as Nikki mumbled some response to the introduction.
“Then let’s have a look.”
Ophelia nodded, then waved to the students gathered and watching the events.
“Go ahead and make the class intro, dear, and get them going with the texts and
supplies list while I give this poor girl a quick looking over.”
“You got it.” Belle grinned,
then gave Nikki an encouraging smile. “You’re in good hands, hon. Caduceus,
or Ms. Tenent is one of the best magical healers in the business. She’ll get
you fixed up.”
“First, I need to find out
what’s wrong with you, dear.” The woman led Nikki into a small office adjoining
the class room and gently shut the door, with one strand of her long hair.
Other strands reached out to
retrieve various instruments and even in her hazy condition, Nikki was a bit
taken aback at seeing mundane things like a thermometer and tongue depressor
gripped in the shining hair and moving her direction.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Ophelia grinned
as she took the thermometer in her hand while the thick strand of golden hair
moved away in quest of something else. “I sometimes forget that new students
don’t know about me and how I do things. My hair acts like other hands,
fingers, or just about anything else I need it to do. Don’t worry, I keep it
very clean.”
Nikki couldn’t answer because of
the thermometer in her mouth, just nodded and indicated that it was ok with a
small wave.
“Hmmm, One Hundred and Two.” The
woman read the digital readout and took the thermometer probe from Nikki’s
mouth with raised eyebrows. “High, but not all that bad. We can rule out a
catastrophic burnout here. So explain to me how exactly you feel just now.”
Nikki did a little better than
that, sending her feelings, carefully, to the other. Ophelia widened her eyes
at that but nodded acceptance, then winced as she received the information. “I
can see now why you seem so dazed here, poor girl, you’re too ill to be trying
to cope with classes just now.”
“What’s wrong with me?” Nikki
plaintively questioned as the woman ran gentle hands up and down her aching
body. “This feels like the worst case of flu I ever heard of.”
“Well it isn’t flu.” Ophelia
absently replied as she continued her examination. “You’re from Poe Cottage,
right?”
“Uh huh.”
“Are you one of the special ones
like Beltane?”
“Uh huh, if you mean was I a boy
before my powers came on.” Nikki responded without worrying about telling her
that kind of information. If you keep going with the exam, you’re going to
really find that out in a sec...”
“Ah, so I see.” Ophelia nodded
again with a little smile. “Well don’t worry about that. Happened to me, too,
you know. And I think I know what’s happening to you here.”
“What, am I trying to die?” The
redhead asked as if that possibility wasn’t such a terrible thing at the
moment.
“No.” Ophelia laughed softly,
then stroked Nikki’s hair to show it wasn’t meant to be cruel. “Though as I
recall from my own change, and the way it felt, you probably wouldn’t complain
too much if the old reaper showed up with your name on his list just now.”
“You have that right.” Nikki
swallowed as another twitch in her middle almost caused her to loose what
little lunch she had managed to get down.
“Well, it will get better.”
Ophelia soothed. “Probably by tomorrow morning or early afternoon.”
“That’s good news.” The redhead grumped,
daunted by the idea of feeling so miserable all night and possibly part of the
next day, too. “I think.”
“Oh it is.” The blonde woman
assured with a twinkle in her deep blue eyes. “At least you won’t have to
worry about when the changes are going to finish up after that.”
“Changes? Finish up?” Nikki
squeaked.
“Yes, dear.” Ophelia nodded.
“Your sudden use of so much magic last night has accelerated your change into a
female. You’re going through all the internal and external alterations to fit
the template your power imposed on you right now.”
“Oh great.” Nikki mumbled.
“Then I can worry about being a real girl instead of when that’s going
to happen. But my doctors at home said this wouldn’t happen till I was about
seventeen.”
“They hadn’t taken the massive
use of your powers you worked last night into account when they told you that,
dear.” The woman answered with a shrug. “They couldn’t have, after all. The
kind of surge you’re going through is similar to a catastrophic burnout in some
respects. You’re feverish, almost delirious, hurt all over, and can barely
keep track of what you’re doing moment by moment. The changes in your body are
causing that, I’m afraid and you’ll just have to weather them until they’re
finished with you.”
“Am I burning out?” The
beginnings of panic were showing in Nikki’s eyes.
“Not at all.” Ophelia hugged the
trembling girl. “All that’s happening here is your body is burning out all the
extraneous stuff in it. Namely, the male DNA, organs, and body shape that was
left so you fit the template of your power. That’s why you’re running a fever
now and ache so much. Your insides are literally moving around and changing
even while we sit here talking about it.”
“I kind of noticed that.” Her
stomach clenched again and Nikki did throw up that time. Fortunately a strand
of Ophelia’s animated hair was holding a small washtub close in case of that
eventuality.
A cool washcloth softly moving
across her face brought the girl back to her surroundings and she groaned as
another spasm shook her small frame. “I’m going to hurl again.”
“Go ahead.” the basin was under
her chin and looking at what was in it only made her stomach churn more
violently as she added to the mess.
Following several other abortive
attempts at coherent speech, the current spate of illness passed. Mostly.
Nikki closed her eyes and shuddered. “I need to lie down now, I think.”
“I think so, too.” Ophelia
agreed while still sopping her patient’s face with cool water. “I’ll have
Belle take you back to your room so you can do that without too many
distractions.”
“Ok.” Nikki weakly nodded as she
tried getting to her feet.
“No, just stay in the chair for
now, sweetie.” The woman’s voice compelled as well as soothed and the redhead
didn’t struggle too much against that.
“I know you probably won’t keep
it down.” Ophelia told her as she held out a glass filled with a murky whitish
fluid. “But drink it down. It will help.”
“If you say so.” Nikki swallowed
the lump in her throat to make room for the stuff and hesitantly took the
offered glass.
“Drink it down.” The woman urged
in her soft, compelling voice.
Nikki grimaced as her throat and
stomach rebelled at the simple thought of putting anything down either one of
them, then forced herself to gulp the stuff down. Her throat contracted and her
stomach lurched once she had, but the fluid stayed down.
“Good!” Ophelia encouraged.
“Now hold it down for as long as you can, even if you have to fight to do it.”
Nikki did both, for a while. At
about the tenth spasm in her abused stomach she gave up and leaned over the
clean basin that was offered to spew the contents of her digestive system into
it.
But even after that, she did
begin feeling a little better.
“Think you can walk without
colliding with walls, floors and other people now?” The woman questioned
solicitously.
“Dunno.” Nikki managed to get
out, then did get to her feet, even if she did wobble a little once there. “I
guess so. Haven’t fallen over since I stood up.”
“Well, that’s as good as it gets
until this passes, dear.” Ophelia shrugged. “What you need now is rest,
fluids, and rest. In that order. You wait here and I’ll go get Belle to help
you back to Poe. I’ll arrange to have you excused from classes for the next
couple of days because even after it finished, you’re going to be worn out for
a while.”

“Hey Nikki!” Toni charged into
their room with her usual aplomb and lightly prodded the lump of blankets in
her roommate’s bed.
That lump stirred, a little,
groaned, then a pair of watery, bleary violet eyes glared from their refuge.
“Unless you’re here to put me out of my misery, just go away. I’m sick.”
“I know, Beltane told me.” Toni
nodded briskly, then pulled the blankets away from her roommate. “She also
told me that you need fluids and a shower. So come on and get with the program
here.”
“If I felt just a little
better.” Nikki glowered as her roommate pulled her off the bed with surprising
gentleness. “I’d turn you into a toad or something for this. If I knew how to
do that. Can’t you please leave me alone to die in peace?”
“You aren’t going to die,
chickie.” The black girl grinned at her disheveled, miserable looking roomie.
“Even if you do look more like a zombie from some horror movie than your normal
beautiful self right now. But a shower will fix that, and make you feel
better. Trust me.”
“Do I have to?” Nikki grumbled,
then looked up at her roommate with a scowl. “Trust you I mean? I already
know you well enough to have given up hope that you’ll forget this and let me
go back to bed.”
“Nope.” Toni wrapped a robe
around Nikki and guided her towards the door. “So don’t fight it.”
“Uhhnn.” was the only response
the redhead managed to that.
Nikki looked better, marginally,
after the shower. Glancing at her reflection in the mirror, steamed up as it
was, showed her that, and she only had to interrupt the proceedings to throw up
once, which she sourly thought was some improvement.
“Got her bed changed.” Jade’s
voice penetrated the fuzziness in Nikki’s head. “Ugh, those sheets and blankets
were a mess.”
“Thanks, hon.” Toni answered
while guiding the still nearly comatose Nikki back to her room.
“Here’s those ice chips.” Tennyo
entered the scene carrying a small bucket filled with shaved ice. “But will
she take any of them?”
“Belle said we had to get some
of it down her or she’ll dehydrate.” Toni answered while helping Nikki back to
bed. “The shower helped with some hydration, but she needs to get some internally,
too.”
Hank peered into the door with a
concerned expression. “How’s she doing?”
Ayla joined the group as Toni
began forcing ice chips between her roommate’s resisting lips. “Better. At
least now she’s moving and muttering instead of curling up and moaning.”
“Peace and quiet, that’s what
Ophelia said I needed.” Nikki mumbled then gasped as Toni took that opportunity
and shoved another sliver of ice into her mouth.
“We’ll see that you get that.”
Toni assured her.
“That’s what worries me.” Nikki
grumbled as her eyes closed again.
*
* * *
Nikki awakened to see sunlight
flooding the room she shared with Toni, but no sign of her roommate or anyone
else. A look at her clock showed that everyone would be in class, and with a
start, she jumped out of bed. “Sheesh! How could I have slept through half
the day? Oh.”
She recalled bits and pieces of
the day before, and shuddered at the memories those brought up, then wrinkled
her nose as she smelled something rank. The smell was coming from her. “Eww!
Time for a shower here.”
“Ack!” that was pulled from her
as she lost her balance and fell back to her rumpled bed. Her breasts bounced
and jiggled uncomfortably in reaction to that and she grabbed at them to hold
the masses of flesh still. And her eyes widened at what she felt. “I did not
have this much up there yesterday, I know it!”
Sure enough, her breasts had
grown, overnight it seemed to her. Instead of the smallish, developing little
things she had almost grown used to the mounds of flesh proudly jutting from
her chest were full, rounded, firm and anything but small. At least in
her opinion.
“These are not little girl
breasts.” Nikki swallowed as her hands continued to hold the objects of her
present attention until the brownish nipples went erect. Pleasant tingles
surged from those little (ok not so little any longer) points to her belly,
crotch, and toes as she massaged them.
“Oh!” A gasp of indrawn air came
as the feelings played tag all through her body with results that had her
quivering and pulling in even more ragged breaths. “I have got to stop doing
this or I’ll never get that shower taken.”
A wetness at her crotch had her
grimacing. “Oh wonderful, I peed myself on top of everything else.”
But the smell from that area
told her it wasn’t urine that was causing the feeling. “Uh oh.”
Spreading her legs and staring
past her expanded chest, Nikki realized that now she really was a girl. “Urk!”
She battled with an urge to
explore that still unknown territory for several seconds before giving up and
reaching down to gently spread the fleshy lips that now nestled within the
inverted triangle of flame red hair where her penis and testicles had held court
for all of her previous life.
“Yup, I was right.” Nikki
closed her eyes and fought to stay calm as all that penetrated her battered
psyche. Larger breasts, obviously wider hips and bigger, rounder bottom, that
she could feel without really looking, and a warm, dark little tunnel where her
former genitals had swung so arrogantly.
Tendrils of soft, thick flame
red hair tickled her shoulders and newly expanded breasts as she noted in
almost passing that her hair was also a lot longer that it had been.
And was kind of wavy instead of perfectly straight like it had been.
“Ok, I knew this was going to
happen.” She told herself while getting a very tight grip on emotions that
galloped through her mind like a whole herd of wild horses engaged in a race. “So
I won’t scream here.”
After some sober thought, she
grinned, shrugged, and told herself. “Hell with it. I need to scream.”
So she did. A high, piercing
one that actually shook the windows. Then stood up with a small smile playing
around her lips. “Nothing changed but it feels better anyway. Now for that
shower.”
Following the shower, another
illuminating experience with all the extra flesh her body now carried, Nikki
padded back to her room, sniffed her bedding, and immediately changed her sheets.
‘”Bleh!, whatever it was my body was getting rid of, it sure smells bad now.”
She almost threw the messy,
stinky sheets away, but hauled them to the bathroom, put them in a shower
stall, and ran the water very hot and hard until they were soaked. Then she
soaped them up, scrubbed industriously then rinsed them with cold water. After
wringing them, and her longer hair, out she put the wet but better smelling
sheets into the hamper in her room.
“Oh, yeah, great.” She groused
to herself while hunting for clean sheets. “Now I don’t have any clean
sheets. Laundry room, here I come.”
Tugging on a pair of lavender
panties that were noticeably tighter than they had been the last time she'd
worn them, and wrapping her robe carefully around her more abundant anatomy,
she fished the dirty clothes out of the hamper and dumped them in a basket.
Thinking, rightly, that using magic at that point would really make little
difference, she sought out the lines of gravity holding the basket down, then
loosened them so the thing floated several feet off the ground.
With a grin, she headed for the
door and glanced back at the basket. “Well what are you waiting for? Come
on!”
Responding to the gentle pull on
the lines connecting it to her, rather than the command, the basket of dirty
laundry obediently followed her down the hall, stairs, and into the laundry
room.
Several upper classmen, between
classes, gaped at her robe and panty clad form with more interest than gay guys
were supposed to show in a girl. One whistled and called out. “Woo Hoo!
Looking GOOD Red!”
Nikki glowered at them for a
second, then surprised herself and them by giggling. “Thanks, but I’m really not
in the mood for this just now. C’mon laundry.”
The basket of soiled clothing
and sheets obediently followed her into the laundry room and the door slammed
shut behind it.
There was no sign of the boys,
or anyone else when a very tired Nikki directed a basket of clean and neatly
folded laundry back to her room. Once there, she placed Toni’s things on the
other girl’s bed, her own in the proper drawers or the closet, made her bed,
then gratefully slid back between the clean, soft sheets and was asleep almost
instantly.
PMS and Other Things
Nikki awakened very slowly.
This was not the gradual, easy thing that was her usual sleepy self when trying
to get up in the morning, though. Something had been interrupting her sleep
for the past several nights, dreams of chanting and shadowy figures brandishing
varicolored pieces of carved crystal in her direction kept waking her up at odd
times in the night. Having been so ill with the magic accelerated changes in
her body hadn’t helped any in that respect either.
Toni, as usual bounced out of
bed as if there were springs in the thing specially designed to literally throw
the black girl out to the floor. “Morning Sunshine! Time to get ourselves
moving if we don’t want to fight for a shower and mirror!”
“Ohhh.” Nikki groaned while
covering her head with her pillow to shut out both the light and sight of her
terminally cheerful roomie. “Go away.”
“Grumpy this morning?” the
black martial arts whiz chirped as she pulled the pillow away from Nikki’s head
them yanked the blankets off her red headed roomie. “Come
on! You have that meeting with
Mrs. Hawkins this morning about those special training classes and you want to
look good for that, don’t you?”
“Arrgh!” Nikki, also known as
Fey for her own mutant powers almost screamed as her shield from the world was
torn away. “I don’t care! Just let me sleep another twenty minutes. I’ll get
up then, I swear!”
“Sure, like yesterday?” Toni
grinned while literally pulling the petite beauty into a sitting position.
“You missed the orientation meeting for our Team and Mr. Shane was really
pissed about that until we found out you were so sick. Now get yourself up and
going... Whoa!”
The last was when the other girl
took a second to really look at Nikki. Huge dark circles beneath her large
almond shaped violet eyes marred her otherwise flawless complexion, but that
isn’t what drew out the gasp of surprise.
Nikki glanced down at her well
filled nightie and let out a long sigh. Her breasts had grown again.
Along with her hips and bottom. “Oh great. Now none of my bras or
panties are going to fit.”
“The doctor was right.” Toni
nodded while giving her roommate’s newly burgeoning figure a halfway envious
look. “Using your magic really is accelerating your change into a girl. I bet
you’re up to a full C cup already.”
“Wonderful.” Nikki groused,
then let out a little “Eep!”
“What?” Toni glanced
suspiciously around the room to make sure no hobgoblins were lurking in the
corners. One of Nikki’s biggest problems with her new found powers was fine
control of them. If she lost her grip on the use of her magic, little things
like mischievous bits of excess energy manifested in her general area and
caused no end of problems for the people and things around her.
“Look!” Nikki pulled down her
panties to show a completely feminine, and more importantly female, crotch to
Toni. “I noticed this yesterday, but it’s still a shock for me to have a...
a...”
“It’s called a vagina.” The
other helpfully finished for her. “And those are the Labia Majoris, with your
Labia Minoris inside those, and...”
“I Know what they are,
thank you!” Nikki shot back. “I just didn’t think I’d end up with them
on me so soon!. My doctor back home didn’t think this would happen
until I was about seventeen!”
“Well, the best doctor here told
you that using your powers so much, like against those raiding Ninjas, were
bringing you along a whole lot faster than if you were just sitting around
doing nothing.” Toni soothed her roommate.
“Oh, I know.” Nikki let out a
long sigh while checking out her filled out bosom, hips and cutely rounded
bottom. Along with the obviously female equipment nestled between her silky
thighs. “It’s just that I’ve still been having those stupid dreams all night
long, am getting hit on everywhere I go, and was a boy three months
ago. Now I’m this guy magnet, with a glamour I can’t turn off that makes me
even sexier, and now I’m a girl all the way. I don’t know if I
can deal with all this stuff in a single, mixed up package at once, Toni. It’s
making me crazy!”
“Uh oh!” Toni grimaced. She
already knew that when Nikki lost it, things tended to get more than a little
exciting. “Well let’s get you into the shower, and ask Ayla if she has some
things you can use until you can get some that fit. Ok?”
“Sure.” Nikki glumly agreed.
“I’ll just shake and jiggle all the way down the hall with you and see if
anyone notices.”
“That’s the spirit!” The black
girl literally pulled Nikki to her feet and propelled the other girl towards
the door of the room they shared. “You get into the shower, take care of all
the other stuff you do in the morning and I’ll go beg some stuff from Ayla for
you.”
“Right.” reaching for her
cosmetics bag, and the one filled with skin creams and hair care products,
Nikki stumbled towards the door. “Just make sure the stuff isn’t synthetic,
ok?”
“Yeah, I remember. No sense in
you dealing with a rash on top of the other stuff.” Toni muttered while
making sure her roomie actually was headed for the girls shower and bathroom.
“You just get yourself presentable and I’ll get some underwear for you. And don’t
go off on some weird tangent on me or anyone else, please?”
“I’ll try and be good.” Nikki
grumbled as the bathroom door closed behind her.
*
* * *
Ayla was up, and getting
dressed, when Toni knocked on her door. “Hello? Is it safe to come in?”
“Sure, Toni.” The slender
shemale responded just a bit more cheerfully than Nikki had managed. “What can
I do for you this early in the morning?”
“I got the hint, Ayla.” Toni
grinned as she entered the other’s room and winced at the sounds of Real Nasty
Heavy Metal Music erupting from the other’s small but loud stereo. “But umm,
Nikki has kind of a problem that I think you might be able to help out with.”
“Nikki?” Ayla looked puzzled
then questioned. “What kind of problem and why couldn’t she come and ask me?”
“You don’t know how Nikki
gets when things go kind of funky on her. But I think there‘s a really good
chance that everyone in Poe is going to learn about that pretty soon.” The
black girl shrugged. “I got her into the bathroom and hopefully into the
shower. The problem is that she developed some more overnight and none of her
undies will fit her any longer. I was wondering if she could borrow some stuff
until she can get some more of her own?”
“Developed how?” Alya asked,
thinking of the already hot little Nikki with even more attractive
attributes and doing her best to keep her still male parts under control.
“Well, she’s at least a C-Cup now,
and her hips and bottom are definitely looking more like those on an
adult female. Her own bras and panties are way too small now. Would you have
something that might get her through the day, at least?”
“Oh, yeah.” Ayla nodded with an
internal grin. This she just had to see for herself. She began rummaging
through her drawers and closets. “Non synthetics, right? And does she need
outer wear too?”
“Oh probably.” Toni grimaced.
She hadn’t thought of that, then giggled.
“What’s so funny? The spiky
haired girl questioned, her voice muffled because she was almost buried in her
closet.
“I was just picturing poor Nikki
wandering around campus in bra and panties...” Toni giggled again.
“That would sure cause some
heart attacks.” Ayla agreed with a giggle of her own. “We sure can’t have that
now, can we?”
“Nope.”
“Ok, I’ll find some stuff and
bring it to the bathroom.” Ayla replied.
“Thanks, and Nikki will thank
you, too.” Toni grinned at the very attractive bottom the other was still
displaying.
“Uh, what was that?” Ayla asked
as a distant sounding rumble grew closer.
“Kind of sounds like thunder.
But in the Hallway? ” Toni answered, then smacked herself in the forehead.
“I’ve gotta go! Nikki is going crazy about something, I just know it!”
*
* * *
Nikki stripped out of her night
gown and carefully looked herself over in the full length mirror in front of
her. Her breast had gone beyond merely pert. Now they were full, with large
nipples and quarter sized aureoles. Her waist looked slimmer, but that had to
be from the wider and well rounded hips she was now blessed (cursed) with. And
her bottom! Well, that was something that would have had her drooling as Nick,
and thinking of ways to get to know the girl who had it. Problem was, now
Nikki was the girl, and had legs that perfectly complemented the newly emerged
feminine charms she had.
“Oh, maaan.” She moaned to the
air in general. “I have got to get a handle on all this stuff before I
go completely bonkers.”
Then she realized something
else. Those dreams that had been haunting her sleep, or lack of it recently.
Were they connected to her physical changes? Or were they really something
from outside intruding on her during sleep? With all the changes she had gone
through over the past few months, she couldn’t discount the latter at all. Too
many people had developed an interest in her recently, many of those she still
hadn’t seen or met. “Damn it! Why can’t people just leave me alone?”
Something she had never felt
before filled her to the point that she was completely overwhelmed. A red haze
filled her vision as she thought of someone Daring to disturb her
sleep. Anger like she had never believed possible threatened to submerge her
in a tide of emotion that was entirely alien to anything in her experience.
Distant sounds of thunder and
the crackle of lightning, accompanied by more than a few surprised squeals in
the hallway filtered through the unaccustomed rage she felt.
*
* * *
“Ack!” Ayla straightened up in
shock as a mini lightning bolt hit so close to her head that it caused her
already spiky hair to stand even straighter. “What the Hell was that?”
“A thunder storm.” Toni almost
had to shout over the noise. “In the hallway! I’ve gotta get to Nikki now!”
“Nikki?” Ayla questioned while
warily watching a small, ugly cloud wreathed in an aurora of flickering
lightning advancing on her from the open door to the hall.
“She also turned into a real
girl down there last night.” The black girl shouted back with a worried
expression. “Do you know anyone who might have something to help with PMS?”
“Oh shit.” Ayla closed her
eyes. Someone with Nikki‘s, or Fey’s as she was called, powers with PMS? That
didn’t bear thinking about. “I’ll go find Tennyo!”
Tennyo was already in the hall,
clutching her own bath stuff while dodging lightning bolts and gusts of wind.
“What’s going on?”
“Nikki is all girl now!” Toni
hollered, then added as she slipped in a puddle of water. “Yikes! You got any
Midol or something like that?”
“Nikki is PMSing?” Tennyo gave
them an incredulous look. “Oh my God! I have Pampronal. I’ll go get it!”
“Ativan is a good idea!”
floated from the third floor and those freshmen not currently dodging small
lightning bolts or sliding in puddles on the floor noted a cluster of faces
peering down to the chaotic second floor.
“I’ll take anything you got!”
Toni shouted up the stairs, then had to resort to some pretty good moves to
dodge a series of tiny, but forceful bolts of lightning intent on frying parts
of her anatomy she preferred remained uncooked.
“You come and get it, then!” The
still unknown person shouted back. “No way am I coming down there just
now!”
“I’m coming!” Jinn shouted and
nearly flew towards the stairs, adroitly dodging both lightning bolts and
puddles in her progress. “Have it ready when I get up there, ‘cause we really
need it bad down here!”
Jade watched the chaos from
under the relative safety of a heavy table for a few more seconds before
scrambling out and running in a zig zag pattern that would have made a military
drill sergeant proud. “Where is she?”
“Who?” Another student shouted
back, then yelped as a small bolt of lightning hit her in the bottom.
“Nikki!” Jade made an acrobatic
leap over the stumbling girl, while still headed for the room Nikki and Toni
shared.
“In the bathroom!” Toni hollered
down the hall, performing a stylish skid and turn at the door leading into the
girls shower room. “Come on! Maybe we can calm her down a little!”
The mini thunderstorms winked
out, to be replaced with a steady rain. In the hallway.
“Now she’s gone all teary.”
Toni let out a sigh of relief as the lightning chasing her subsided into the
more gentle rainstorm. Even if it was in the hallway of their dorm.
“Sheesh, are we gonna have to
put up with this every month?” Hank questioned from behind his own
door, which was opened just enough for the others to see one eye very carefully
checking out the situation.
“It kinda snuck up on her this
time.” Toni defended her roommate.
“Well if this is sneaking...”
The voice from upstairs contributed. “I don’t want to see her in a full
blown hormonal rage. You guys need to do something about this!”
Toni found Nikki curled up in
the shower crying so hard her whole body shook. “Hey, hon, calm down. It’s
going to be ok.”
“Cuh -- cuh -- CALM DOWN?!!” A
tearful Nikki screamed with the accompaniment of thunder in the background. “I
can’t! I don’t even know what’s happening here!”
“It’s called PMS, I think.”
Toni soothed the still shaking girl and was gratified to notice that the
thunder faded away as she stroked Nikki’s back. “It looks like you got the whole
package there, all at once. So just take some deep breaths and try to get
yourself under control, ok?”
“PMS? ME?” Nikki sobbed with
the soft sound of rainfall coming from the hallway.
“Oh yeah.” Toni assured her
roommate. “But don’t worry. Billie has something that will help with that.
She’s bringing it to you right now.”
“Buh -- buh -- but if I’m having
PMS...” Nikki sobbed again. “Then that means I’m also going to have a....”
“Period, yes, that’s part of the
deal.” Tennyo’s voice entered the conversation, in carefully soothing tones.
“I can help you with that, though, so don’t get all up in the air over it, ok?
It’s something all us girls have to deal with. Our monthly visitor is
just a part of life we deal with and get on with life once we do. Not to
worry, I can get you through this. Trust me, I know all about that kind
of stuff.”
“NONE of my Clothes FIT anymore,
either!” Nikki almost screamed, but was swarmed by Tennyo, Toni, Ayla, Jinn and
Jade, who all began stroking and hugging her to avoid more thunderstorms.
“I’ve got that covered, girl
friend.” Ayla answered in carefully soft tones. “Until you can get some of
your own that do. Ok?”
“And, and -- some jerks are
interrupting my SLEEP at night!” Nikki sobbed like all the world had just
turned on her. “That’s the worst part. How can I show my face in public with
these big dark circles under my eyes? And bags!”
“Yup, she’s all girl
now.” Tennyo needlessly told the others.
“Makeup can hide the worst of
it, hon.” Ayla answered with a glare towards Tennyo. “I’ll show you how to do
that. And we’ll all help you find what it is that’s disturbing your sleep.
Right?”
“Sure!” chorused everyone else
in the bathroom, and more than a few people who had cautiously come back out
into the hallway once all the storms had passed.
“You will?” The redhead
questioned with wide eyes as she slowly looked around the circle of friends
still holding on to her like she was the ball in the middle of a rugby match‘s
scrum.
“Damn right!” a chorus of voices
answered loudly from the shower room, the hallway, and even filtering down from
the third floor. That voice added with a note of wry humor. “Hell, if it’ll
keep you from doing that kind of thing again, the whole cottage
would be willing to help you out with that. And do you think somebody could
please mop the floor down there?”
“I think I feel better now.”
Nikki announced tentatively. “You can all let go of me now.”
“Not until you take these.”
Tennyo held out what looked like a handful of pills with a glass of orange
juice.
“What are they? The redhead eyed
the innocent looking white pills suspiciously.
“Propanol, Pamprin, Midol, and
Ativan.” The Asian girl answered. “They’ll make you feel better and hold down
the thunderstorms and stuff in here while they do.”
“I have to take All of
them?”
“Ok, we’ll save the Ativan for
real emergencies.” Tennyo allowed as she removed two of the pills from the
pile. “But the rest of ‘em are definite takers or we tie you down and knock
you unconscious until this passes.”
“Oh, all right.” Nikki took the
pills, grimaced, and shoved them in her mouth, then drained the orange juice.
“There. Happy now?”
“Ecstatic.” Ayla answered while
rubbing her bottom. “Now I can stop dodging lightning bolts in the hallway,
right?”
A distant rumble of thunder
caused all of them to wince, but it soon faded as the frown on Nikki’s face
relaxed. Toni tilted her head and grinned. “Hey, for a while there, we had
our very own danger room on the second floor! That’s something special, isn’t
it?”
“Oh my God.” Tennyo grumbled
while glaring at Toni. “We have a natural disaster, and a terminally UP
and OUT THERE case rooming together. We’re all doomed.”
Toni and Nikki exchanged puzzled
glances, then giggled while hugging each other as if to seal the unholy
alliance. Once finished with that, both turned innocent expressions on the
others and sang out in Unison. “Who? Us?”
“Hey in there! The rest of us would
like to take a shower today too, you know.”
“Just a minute!” Toni yelled
back. “We’re having a moment here!”
“Aww, that’s sweet.” The girl
yelled back in. “But if the weather has cleared up, could you go have it in
your rooms? Or the sun room, or even the common room? I really need to
pee and take a shower!”

* * *
“Are you feeling better now?”
Toni questioned as the group almost herded Nikki back to their room and the
other girl started getting dressed.
“Compared to what?” The redhead
asked without real heat, as she got into the larger bra that Ayla had lent her,
then the panties. “But yeah, I’m not going to go off and get the floors wet or
short out the wiring or anything. Thanks by the way, to all of you.”
“I guess that’s an improvement.”
Tennyo grinned as she watched the newly blossomed Nikki getting into the green
silk top and white cotton shorts. “Now I know what some people went through
when I was throwing my power around. I didn’t think I’d be able to dodge all
those lightning bolts much longer. I was starting to get tired. And you’re
welcome. We’re friends, right? Friends help each other even when it isn’t the
easiest thing to do, you know?”
“I mean for all of it.” Nikki
gave the group a weak smile. “You know, taking care of me when I was so sick,
getting me under control with that PMS, loaning me clothes...”
“Hey, it’s ok.” Ayla had also
been watching Nikki get dressed with a little more appreciation than she
thought was a good idea just then, but she couldn’t help it, the girl was just
so gorgeous. “We all need help off and on. I’m just glad I had some
things you’re able to use for a while.”
“Oh, yeah.” Giving her somewhat
exposed, and very non-teen aged appearing cleavage a rueful glance, Nikki then
turned to see her shapely bottom encased in the snug, short shorts. “How do I
look?”
“Great!” “Wonderful!”
Absolutely gorgeous, girl!” The answers chorused back as the girl carefully
watched her bottom and hips sway while she walked.
“Wow, and I thought I had problems
keeping the guys at arms length before.” She giggled and gave her bottom one
more shake just to make sure. “Well, if I had to be a girl, I’m glad I’m a
good looking one. I guess.”
“Just good looking, she says.”
Toni grumbled, then gave a brilliant smile. “Nikki, honey, you are so far
beyond merely good looking it’s almost terrifying to see. You won’t
have to worry about all the boys, about half of them are going to have heart
attacks the second they lay eyes on you, babe.”
“Oh joy!” The redhead muttered
just loudly enough for everyone to hear. “Like I’m looking forward to that!”
“Better get used to it, fast.”
Tennyo pointed towards the door Jade had just opened once the other girl was
fully dressed. Word had gone around the dorm and a steady parade of boys
walked past on one pretence or another. Every one of those made sure to glance
into the room as they strolled past. Of course that not so carefully
maintained nonchalance was marred on several occasions as the boys stumbled
into each other, walls, or in one case, actually fell down the stairs.
“Watch out for that wall,
there!” Nikki called out as she in turn gaped at the steady parade, then
slammed the door with a nervous giggle and stood with her back against it. “I
did not enjoy that. Tell me I didn’t, please.”
“Can’t do it.” Toni shrugged.
“From the expression on you face there, I’d say you were having a great time a
second ago.”
“Gee, thanks for the support.”
“Hey!” The black girl chirped as
the others laughed at Nikki’s expression. “I mean that’s what friends and
roomies are for, right?”
“Sometimes I wonder.” A glint of
amusement in her large violet eyes took the bite out of her retort. “But I’m
stuck with you now. I might get used to you in about four years. Until
then things are going to be real interesting.”
“Look who’s talking.” Jade
muttered to no one in particular.
“Hey, any of us could rightfully
lay claim to being that.” Tennyo pointed out with a shrug and grin. “And as it
stands, I think we make a pretty decent team, don’t you guys? At least if we
stick together none of us will be too worried about what the others are up to,
right?”
“Makes sense to me.” Ayla
nodded, then waved a diffident Hank into the room to join the rest of them.
“Come on in, Hank. Nikki’s decent now, and she even got dressed.”
“I’m gonna get you for that
one.” Nikki whispered to the other girl before letting out a girlish giggle
that seemed to embarrass her since her face went through several shades of pink
then red in rapid succession. “But only I know when it will happen.”
“We have some work to do.” Hank
grimaced as he gestured at a mop bucket, wringer, several squeegees, and other
floor cleaning equipment. “I guess everyone kind of expects us all to clean up
the mess.”
“See!” Toni crowed in agreement
to what Ayla had said earlier. “We
