That evening Mary had some difficulties to fall asleep. As a man, she had allways sleeped in the prone position, but now she felt pression on her breast, even if this wasn't so big. So she couldn't fall asleep until she decided to sleep in supine position.
When she got up the following day, it was 8:30 and light was timidly lightin up her bedroom. She yawned and sat on her bed. “Goodmorning Mary” it was Gabrielle's voice. “Goodmorn...” but she stopped seeing her sister (or better, her fiancee until the last day) fully naked near to her wardrobe. She blushed and looked away. “What's the matter, sis” Gabrielle asked. “Oh really, nothing... I was just wondering what are you doing naked...” Mary admitted and soon her old sister answererd “I was just dressing up as every morning sis... it's no first time you see me naked” she laughed, taking her undewear and dressing up. Mary blushed and smiled “oh you're right, just continue” she tried laughing too. Mary reflected that this had to be the truth, considering that she was now in Gabrielle's sister body. Although she was actually embarassed: as a man she had desired to see also just her fiancee ankle, but was sure that seing a woman in the nude before marring her was a sin. But in her condition? Being now a girl, it was a sin to see a naked girl? Or was considered a sin, instead, to think about a naked man? This moral issues worry her. She continued curiously watching Gabrielle dressing up and with some disconsert she noted that she wasn't having any sexual attraction to her. She understood that, having now a Mary's body, she had also her liking. “That means that also Mary... I want to say, 'John' has now my liking and so he's attracted to my fiancee... I want to say my sister... Oh... I only hope that he has moral sense and would do anything to her while staying in my body” Mary said herself while dressing up, alone, in her bedroom.
It wasn't more so strange and exciting to dress female clothes: being this normal, now, she had no more curiosity on it and found having to walk in a long skirt only uncomfortable. “What a fortune this is only for some days. I only need a few days to satisfy every my curiosity about the fair sex” she thought.
She also had fun that days as a girl, but she had also to deal with the fact that being gone from being the first male son of a family to being the younger daughter of another family, she now had care more respect and, for most decisions, she was now the fifth wheel on the wagon.
At the end of third day, seing that John had not yet come for that bath, with the opportunity of bringing some eggs to Smith house, Mary went to him and knocked the door.
Mrs. Smith opened the door. Mary smiled at her, wanting to hug soon again her real mother, and asked about John. “Oh miss” she answered sadly “my son has a bad cold and fever. He said me to tell you that he will visit you in five days, no more”. Mary thanked the woman and asked her to bring him her well wishes. Then she came home. During the path, she considered that she couldn't force him to have a bath in the river's cold water if he was ill. Of course this was a very unfortunate fact! As a guy he hadn't had a cold for years, and now that that body was taken by Gabrielle's sister's soul, he even has fever! Mary couldn't know that John caused fever himself by asking another potion to the witch. So she accepted the fact of having to be a girl until the end of the week without choice and repeated herself “just be patient, girl and this will end...”
