"Pass" said Allison. "Frankly, Kira, you scare the hell out of me, and not in a fun, sexy, way either. But I appreciate the thought."
"So you're a racist, then?"
Kira and Allison held each other's glances for a few seconds, then both burst out laughing. It was exactly the kind of joshing that they had both engaged in as male basketball players. Kira spun her paddle like a movie gunfighter before putting it back in the loop. "Well, you ladies ever want a good old-fashioned ass whuppin', you know where to find me." She walked out of the restroom. She stuck her head back in. "Allison, you can tell Logan I'll be praying for her."
"Will do. Thanks, Kira."
Sarah gave Allison a puzzled glance. "Hey, just because she's a dom doesn't mean she can't believe in God." Allison answered.

Amanda's next class was Physics with Mr., presumably now Ms., Chung. Mr. Chung was a fun teacher because he always got so excited about his subject, as if he believed that spreading a proper understanding of physics was a way of saving the world. Amanda really hoped she would be exciting today, as she needed something to take her mind off her sore butt in a hard chair.
When Ms. Chung, now a cute Chinese-American female in what appeared to be her early twenties came into the room, she didn't seem excited at all, she seemed very sad.
"Students, when I began to study physics, it was the most exciting discipline because it really seemed to say something fundamental about the nature of the universe. The idea that the fundamental structure of reality could be expressed in mathematical laws and that future events could be predicted via those same laws intoxicated me. I wasn't a brilliant physicist, although I did publish a few papers, but I thought of myself as a foot soldier in an army whose generals were Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, and I was excited to bring the gospel of physics to my students."
"And it turned out that we were all wrong. The Laws of Physics turned out more to be the Suggestions of Physics. I can't even begin to tell you how many of those laws were broken by the great change. Conservation of Mass, Laws of Thermodynamics--I mean, where's the heat this should have generated? There is absolutely no way that what happened yesterday could have happened in a universe governed by physical law. I have submitted my resignation to Principal Negrotti effective today. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time in the years I have been a teacher. I'm even more sorry for wasting my own life. Please sit quietly for the rest of the period, and tomorrow there will be a substitute, although I have no idea what she'll teach. It sure as hell won't be Physics." Tears were streaming down her face as she left the classroom for the last time.
At least she had taken Amanda's mind off her sore butt for a few minutes.

"Look" said Allison "I don't know why this hit me and Logan in such different ways. Maybe I always had a feminine side to my personality and Logan didn't. All I know is that this is who I am now. Maybe we'll wake up tomorrow and the whole thing will have turned out to be a cosmic joke and I'll be a guy again. But I doubt it, and all I can go on is what I am now. I'm very sorry about your boyfriend."
"It's not that--I mean, I'm as much of a lesbian as everyone else. I just miss Alan."
"I miss him too."
There was a pause.
"Allison, I have a slumber party going on Friday. It was scheduled before the change. A bunch of us born-women are going to paint each other's toenails, play spin-the-bottle, watch a romantic movie--you know, girl stuff. Want to come?"
"That's awesome, Sarah." Allison squeed. "Thank you."

Anyone who knew Millie either before or after the change thought of her as a very mild-mannered person. They might have found her hard to recognize now.
"That is complete, utter fucking bullshit! Some crazy old religious ladies think nobody should ever get laid again, and for that we're supposed to hide! That makes me sick!"
"Look, this won't last for very long. Homosexuality is sexuality under the current conditions. When it becomes clear that it can't be suppressed or marginalized, people will give up. Hell, maybe even after tonight, when the President and her wife address the country. We won't have to hide for very long."
"So in other words, we can hide in the shadows and rely on other people to be brave?"
"I guess if you put it that way, it doesn't sound like a very good thing."
"We're going to march right up to Principal Negrotti and tell her we have no intention of being on the down-low! Tonight, we're going to have a romantic candlelight dinner at Casa Hermana, murmuring endearments and gazing into each other's eyes!. And then we're going to the park downtown, and we're going to engage in a clinch by the fountain! And then we're going to walk home, hand-in-hand, stopping every few minutes to kiss each other! And then we're going to come home, draw the curtains, and drive each other to new heights of pleasure!"
"Yes, you're right. She's not going to fire her indispensable assistant and her best kindergarten teacher for doing what 99% of the population is doing."
"And I'm not going to act like the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me in my life is something to be ashamed of. Not for one single second."

Here goes nothing, Logan thought, as she began to masturbate for the first time as a woman. She closed her eyes, and saw the image of Allison in her cute pink pajama top.
