Nicky showered and quietly got dressed not wanting to wake the apparently sleeping Angus. What she didn't know was that Angus was just pretending to sleep. He was scared shitless that at any moment Amy would wake and see that she had been molested during the night. Then all hell would break loose. He just closed his eyes and hoped, not knowing what else he could do.
Once dressed Nicky checked her reflection and seeing that she had blue eyes began to get concerned. It was now after 6.30 and she had not yet changed back. Surely it was past dawn. Was the game malfunctioning? She wasn't so much concerned for herself but was very concerned about Eric. What if he was stuck as a girl?
She went to the spare room and knocked 'It's just me' she whispered as she opened the door. Eric was stirring. Nicky felt glum to see that Eric was still female with long dark hair. 'Shh don't panic. Angus is back home. Try not to make too much noise'
Eric was just becoming aware of his surroundings. Aware that he was in a strange bed. Why was Nicky talking to him about panic? Then she saw her hands as she brushed the hair out of his eyes and the events of last night flooded back to her. 'Oh shit I'm still a girl!' she uttered fortunately not too loudly.
'Yes we haven't reverted. I'm still stacked and last time I looked still had blue eyes'
'Is it not yet dawn?'
'I'm not sure when exactly dawn is. It's light outside but raining. I can't see if the sun is up'
Eric looked at her phone. 'Shit it's 6.40. Sun up is at about 6 this time of year' Eric was starting to panic.
'Try and be quiet. We don't want to wake Angus'
'Why haven't I changed back? I can't be a girl'
'Shush. Let's ring Amy and Jen and see if they have changed'
Eric had last seen the pair at the nightclub. Much to Eric's chagrin they had wanted to stay on when she had finally convinced Nicky to bring her home. Eric was fearful that Amy, the girl who he had a crush on, was lost to him/her. When last seen she had been pashing a tall dark bloke she had been dancing with.
Nicky rang but got no answer from Amy. Jen answered on the 3rd ring. 'We haven't changed back. What about you?'
Eric couldn't hear Jen's answer but gathered from Nicky's reaction that it was negative. The conversation continued then suddenly nicky's face brightened 'Yes you right the wording was something like that. Maybe it will happen when the rain clears. Here I'll pass the phone to Eric. You tell her' Nicky passed the female Eric her phone.
'Hi Jen' Eric was at least getting used to her voice.
'Hi Eric. You both sound exactly like Nicky. Anyway I just wanted to say don't worry. The wording on the change cards was something about "when the sun casts shade" I'm guessing we haven't changed because the sun hasn't come out'
'I hope your right'
'I think I'll stay inside and keep out of the sun. I like my body'
'Not me. I'm going to check the weather radar and see how long until this rain clears. Keep your fingers crossed'
'I hope to see the male Eric back too. Good luck'
'Thanks. See you later' Eric passed the phone back to Nicky.
'It gives us some hope' said Nicky as she hung up.
'So what do we do?
'Check the weather radar as you said. But then I think you need to get dressed and let's get out of here before Angus wakes. Do you want a shower?'
'Um probably. I'm sorry but I think I must have leaked. I'm all sticky down there and sore. I think I've made a mess of your bed. Maybe Amy has an infection or something'
'Ew!'
'Yeah that's how I feel too'
'Do you always sleep naked?'
'No. Never actually. I guess I had a restless night. I certainly had a few vivid dreams' She didn't want to mention that those dreams involved making love to a man.
'I'll get you some fresh panties but you probably need to wear the same dress. It might change back into your own clothes when you do change'
'I guess so. But look they suggest this rain will clear by about 9. I hope they are right' Eric showed Nicky her own phone on which she had bought up a weather app.
'Well that give's you plenty of time to shower. You start. I'll fetch clean panties and a towel'
