Both Eric and Maureen ignored the doorbell initially as they were concerned about Ted. The girls head had hit against a chair as she fell down and appeared to have been knocked out. "Ted! Ted! wake up!" said a distraught Maureen as as she shook the prone girl.
"I'll get a glass of water" suggested Eric as he rushed to the kitchen sink.
"Her eyes are rolled up! she's totally out to it!" wailed Maureen.
Eric put the glass down and moved across to have a closer look at her father. "I'll carry her to the couch" she suggested remembering that last night she had come to on the couch. It seemed the right thing to do.
However despite Ted having lost close to 30 kg's lifting her proved too much for the considerably weakened Eric. Her muscles had gone and along with them so had her strength. Meanwhile the doorbell was continuing to ring. "You see who that is" suggested Maureen. "I'll fetch a cushion"
Eric felt hopeless in her new body. She didn't want to go to the door. She wanted to help her father. She remembered all too well what it was like to wake up in a strange body. She wanted to be there to offer the girl her support when she woke. She didn't move.
Maureen returned with a pillow. She must have gone to Eric's bedroom. The doorbell was ringing for a third time. "Get that Eric. I'll watch Ted"
Reluctantly Eric stood up to give Maureen access to the prone girl. Once standing she did go to the door and through the peephole saw Amy was the ringer. Eric was now in a dilemma. Ted had asked that what happened remain a family secret. If she let Amy in then he was going against Ted's wishes. But then Amy already knew about the game and what it could do. They could do with an extra persons support. She could do with a bit of support for herself.
She raced back to Maureen "It's Amy. Should I let her in?"
"No. Your father explicitly wanted this to remain in the family"
Eric's phone rang. It was Amy. She answered "Hi"
"Eric? What's going on? I'm at your door. Why won't you let me in?"
"Dad's collapsed. We are trying to revive him"
"Well let me in. I'm a nurse remember"
"We don't want to be seen. It's embarrassing""
"Oh don't be silly. I don't care what you look like. I'm your friend. I'll keep ringing this bell until you let me in" with that Amy hung up and the doorbell recommenced ringing.
"Did I overhear that Amy is a nurse?" asked Maureen
"Yes"
"Well let her in but swear her to secrecy. I'm worried about Ted"
Eric didn't hesitate. Quickly she was at the door. She opened it an inch "Amy. I'll let you in but promise to keep what you see secret. And no photos"
"Yes I promise" said Amy.
Very soon Amy was tending to Ted. She had immediately asked what had happened to the girl lying on the floor. When Maureen told how Ted had collapsed. Amy gave Ted a gentle shake and slap on the face. That did the trick and the girl began to stir.
"Stay calm Mister Thompson. You knocked yourself out when you collapsed" Amy was back to her usual self no longer the beauty who had met Maureen and Ted last night.
"What happened? Did I change?" Ted started to get up. "My voice!"
"Yes you changed. You're now a girl but remember it's only till the morning. Nothing to worry about. Just stay lying down for other minute. Eric will fetch you a drink of water"
"Who are you? Maureen?" said the puzzled girl.
"No I'm Amy. You met me last night in a slightly different body. I was tall and had unblemished skin"
"Can I get up now? I want to see myself"
"Have the drink of water first" Amy suggested. Eric was ready to pass the glass to Amy who helped the now sitting up Ted have a drink. Ted stared at his body now clad in a copy of Maureen's skirt. "Is that really me?"
"Yes it's you" said Amy, who helped Ted to her feet. "Let's just go slowly" Amy held one of Ted's arms and Maureen took her other. They helped the girl to the bathroom. Eric followed. Everyone was staring at Ted.
Ted stared at herself. She was certainly a girl now, a twin of Maureen and Eric. She was wearing Maureen's clothes but she was not fat or skinny. She had the hourglass figure Maureen had wished for. Below her large breasts and wide womanly hips she had a impossibly narrow waist.
"Wow! I'm beautiful"
"You sure are" echoed Maureen and Amy
