With that reply of 'Yes Principal Weems' Jack had given away the fact that his voice was definately higher. Jessie was aware that soon her brother would be totally sounding like a girl, which would give away what was happening to him. She didn't yet want Jack to realise that he was becoming female.
She had a mint in her pocket. She pulled one out and handed it to Jack 'Would you like this?'
'Sure' Jack took the mint and popped it into his lipstick lined mouth. As was his habit he crunched the mint and swallowed it. He immediately noticed the smug look on Jessie's face once more. 'Why that look? What did you just give me?'
'A special mint. It will work on your voice box. Acording to what I read it will nullify your Adam's apple. In a few minutes you will sound totally female'
'That's not fair!' Jack tried to retch
'Too late now. I can already detect your voice is a bit higher'
Just then Rebecca returned. More quickly than Jessie had expected. 'Your Mum had a fabric brush, I didn't need to go all the way home. What's Jack complaining about now?'
'She gave me a mint that's making my voice get higher!'
'Ooooh! It is isn't it? Well Jessie does have control over your costume and a feminine voice will add to the effect. Wow! I must say that girdle has really given you a feminine figure. You look great! It looks so realistic!'
'Let's get the dress on him. We have to be careful. Make sure your fingernails don't get caught in the lace sleeves'
The girls made Jack step into the dress first. Then helped him put his arms into the sleeves. The back of the dress needed to be buttoned up. Jessie gave that job to Rebecca. Jack would not be able to get out of the dress without help.
While Rebecca worked on Jack's back she pretended to rearrange his bodice. She gave herself a feel of Jack's breasts. They certainly felt real. She also noticed no sign of an Adam's apple on Jack's neck any longer. When Jack spoke next 'Do I really have to go out in public like this?' he sounded totally female. She also noticed that the arms inside the lace sleeves were now slim and feminine.
'Just your shoes and jewellery and you will be ready to make your debut' Jessie informed him
'Shitttttt!' replied Jack
'I think you look fantastic' Rebecca informed her boyfriend. 'I never dreamed we could make you look so feminine. Mum did a great job with the makeup'
Jessie had a look at Jack's face. It had changed. He must have taken on some of the characteristics of the girl who had donated the dress to the op shop. His eyes had an exotic look to them. It was if he was a girl of middle eastern origin. She was grateful that Jack had not yet seen his own reflection. He would think the changes were all due to Mrs Smith's make-up skills.
Rebecca meanwhile was down on her knees putting her Roman sandals onto Jack's feet. 'These are going on even easier than I expected. I barely have to adjust them at all'
Jessie was at the same time putting the tiara on Jacks head. She wondered if the tiara would somehow interact with the ring. If so she didn't detect anything. She placed a fake pearl choker necklace around Jack's neck. It would hide his lack of Adam's apple. She also clipped on matching fake pearl earings to Jack's ears. She couldn't help but notice that Jack's ears were now peirced. She was not aware that Jack had pierced ears and suspected that this also was an artifact of the ring.
Lastly she said 'I've had second thoughts about this ring. I don't think it goes with the rest of your outfit. Let's try this one instead' She replaced the magical ring with a gold zirconia ring, slipping the magical ring into the pocket of her skirt suit. Jack was now stuck as a female until Jessie choose to change him back. That could wait until he was aware of his or should that be "her" predicament. Jack could discover that for herself, but Jessie wanted to delay that discovery for as long as possible.
'Well that's it! We are finished! Wear this costume until midnight and you have fulfilled the obligations of our bet'
