Shawna laughed, her eyes still firmly shut. "Dani, when I open my eyes, I want the first thing I see to be you." Danitru's heart leapt when she heard the old nickname coming from Shawna's lips. She shucked off her clothes in record time (the fact that Jayutah could see didn't matter--as captain of the queen's guard, Jayutah had seen a lot more) and rushed into Shawna's arms. Shawna opened her eyes, and greedily drank in the beauty of Dani's form. "Oh, it's good to be back."
"Yes it sure is" Dani responded "But no more talking, just kissing!" The embrace that followed was so passionate, even Jayutah had to turn away. She went into the kitchen and poured three glasses of wine to celebrate Shawna's return, listening to the moans, grunts and screams coming from the living room and smiling.
After about a half an hour she heard Shawna call out. "Come in here Jayu! We're decent now, I swear!" Shawna and Dani were eating hamburgers and grinning like fools. They took the glasses and raised them in a toast. "To happy reunions!" proclaimed Queen Shawna.
The rest of the night was spent in talk about the old days, about how Earth differed from home in Qirmallah, about what being male had been like and how glad they were that was over. By unspoken agreement the three did not talk about how they had been stuck on this planet in those bodies, and if there was a way to return to Qirmallah. That would wait until the morning.
