Magician's Assistant - Friends & Lovers Part 4

"Sure! If it'll help you come to some kind of conclusion, I'm up for it. So, which one do you what to tackle first? The pros, or the cons?"

"Well, since we've both been getting some first hand experience with a few of the pros, how about we start off with the cons, okay?"

"Sure." John was agreeable. "Let's. But, since this might be your future that we're talking about, tell you what, why don't you go first."

"All right! I can do that. Let see. what are some of the things that bug me about the possibility of my becoming a woman on a full time basis? Oh, I know! For starters, clothes, makeup, perfume, and all that other crap that women have to use all the time!"

"Okay, kiddo! While I had some other thoughts, tell you what, why don't we tackle those things you just now mentioned one at a time, starting from the top and working down the list? All right, Mikey, tell me. What is it about you and the possibility of your having to wear women's clothing that's got you bugged?"

"I don't know exactly. I guess I just can't see myself walking around wearing dresses all the time."

"Tell me something, Mikey," John scoffed. "Exactly what century have you been living in all these many years, because, unless I'm way off base here, nowadays, at least here in the good old U. S. of A., most women I know rarely if ever wear a dress, save for special occasions when they absolutely have to wear one. In other words, kiddo, should you opt to become a women, there's no law that says you ever have to wear a dress. Hey, I just thought of something. I'll be damned if you weren't wearing a dress tonight, a skimpy little metallic silver number, and I've got to say that you didn't seem to mind it the least little bit."

"You know something." Mike replied thoughtfully. "I was wearing a dress, wasn't I?"

"Oh, yeah! You sure were. And, take it from me, kiddo, you looked fantastic in it!"
