It wasn't long before Alison returned with the pink Nike's in a bag. 'I don't think they are your size' she said thinking she was being very witty.
'Thanks Alison' Nancy replied. He knew the shoes were exactly his size when he was in his correct female body. 'I'd better get going' He knew he had to hurry if they were going to get to Chris before that ankle was x-rayed.
Nancy ended up running back to the Morrison house. He loved how strong and athletic this body was. He was met by Tanya in Mary's now adjusted body when he came through the front door.
'Don't laugh' Tanya/Mary warned Nancy.
'What happened?' Nancy was amazed at the transformation of Mary
'I guess those pantyhose also fit large girls, not just tall girls. At least I did gain 5 inches but I wasn't counting on the extra 100 or so pounds'
'Wow how big are you now?'
'5'10 and 220 lbs. I dare say in this body Chris will be able to hold a post pretty effectively'
'Yeah but I'm not sure she will be impressed. No one wants to be a fat chick'
'Tell me about it. At least Mum's bra fits me. I can only wear a wrap dress and this is a shirt of Dad's. I'll have to go shopping to get something else to wear. However first thing we need to do is get to the medical centre and swap you and Chris back'
'Not swap. I don't want a broken foot. I'll use these to change myself into my healthy self. But we need to get to Chris before her ankle is examined too closely'
'Well let's go. We have no time to waste. We may already be too late. You take Chris's bike. I ride my own. I have the medallion in my handbag'
'Let's put the medallion in with these Nike's. I want to use them to change back to myself.
So the two of them started cycling to the medical centre. Nancy found riding in Chris's body effortless however he had to be careful regarding the testicles he now possessed. On the other hand Tanya now in Fat Mary's body was really struggling. Tanya was by now looking forward to getting her own slim body back.
By the time they arrived at the medical centre Tanya was puffing pretty severely. Nancy smiled at her, feeling very superior. He noticed the Spencer car in the car-park. 'Hurry up. Remember talk to my Mum and keep her distracted while I and Chris find somewhere to change' They went inside and immediately noticed Chris and Angela sitting outside a waiting room.
Chris saw them as they walked in. She made a face as if to say "Where the F... have you been?"
Chris and Tanya went across to see her. 'Hi Mrs Spencer, Nancy. How is the ankle?'
'We are about to find out. The doctor is running late. We should have been in there 40 minutes ago' replied an annoyed sounding Angela.
Chris had just noticed "Mary". 'What happened to you?'
'I'll explain later' She tried to sound dismissive.
'Nancy you need to introduce me to your friend' asked Angela
'Oh this is Mary. She's the girl who was going to fill in for our basketball team. However I'm guessing that with my ankle we are going to have to forfeit anyway' replied Chris, who was currently in Nancy's body.
'Hello Mary, have I met you before? You look vaguely familiar'
'I used to live here but my family moved to Canada 4 years ago. I'm staying with an Aunt for the summer and bumped into Nancy and Tanya last week. They said they needed another player so I volunteered to help out'
'Um Nancy. Could I have a word in private?' asked the apparent Chris. "Mary" continued to talk to Mrs Spencer.
'Probably not' was the reply from the real Chris. 'I'm struggling to stand up. Look at the ankle' She pointed to a very swollen ankle at the bottom of her leg. The real Nancy winced.
Nancy bent down and whispered in Chris's ear. 'I have the medallion. We need to swap back and at the same time fix the ankle'
'I'm at the front of the queue to see the doctor. It will have to wait' Then more quietly 'We don't have half an hour to swap. We can't change in front of everybody'
Nancy made a quick decision. 'Well I have a surprise for you then. Put your hand into this bag and feel around' Nancy was aware that his Mum was watching the two of them closely although still talking to "Mary"
Nancy had judged that Chris remaining as "Nancy" for the next 12 hours was the lessor of two evils. At least the ankle would be fixed and the basketball team saved. Chris probably wouldn't be happy but what other option did they have? Nancy also didn't want a broken ankle when she swapped back.
Chris half guessed what was about to happen. She reached into the bag the apparent Chris was holding. She felt shoes inside then a zap as her fingers also touched the medallion. All she could do was trust that Nancy knew what she was doing.
'Try and delay the doctor examining you for as long as possible' Nancy whispered into Chris's ear.
Just then the door to the doctors room opened. A woman left and the female doctor asked 'Nancy Spencer?'
'That's us' said Angela. She addressed the doctor 'Nancy has hurt her ankle and will need help to get into your room' she was immediately helping "Nancy" to her feet.
Locked out Nancy or Tanya went outside where they could talk in private. Nancy explained what had happened.
'Well there is not much more we can do. Let's go and get some clothes that fit this body' said Tanya after listening.
