I pick out from the jewelry case a faded gold band that I'm sure Sam would love. Asking the man behind the counter how much, he replies with, "Haven't had it appraised. Since that's the case, I'll let it go for no more then ten dollars."
As I begin to haggle for the ring I can her something thumping about upstairs and a girls voice whine, "Not right. Not real. How did this happen? I don't wanna accept it."
Blocking out the girls voice, I use logic to talk the pawn shop owner down to five dollars. Paying for the ring, I head outside and than curiosity gets the best of me and I open the bag and look at the ring I have just bought. Wanting to try it on, I slip it over my ring finger and look at it sparkling in the morning light.
Loving the way it gleamed, not sure why I said it, but the words, "I've had this ring all my life," tumble past my lips.
Suddenly memories flood in and I realize that I have had this ring all my life. It's a gift from my great-grandma who told me that it is a magic ring that can alter reality, "But only if it is on your finger and only if you don't put the request in the form of question." Great-Grandma Elmira told. And the real strange thing was, a day later she died.
Having wondered about the coincidence of being given a ring when I was eight and then my great-grandma dying the next day, I found the best thing in the end was usually to ignore such stuff.
The only thing I have ever considered doing with the ring was turning myself fully female or fully male, but the words of my mother, how I was born this was for a reason, kept me from doing something like that. There was that and there was also Sam, the one hermaphrodite that I had met, fell in love with and shared life's various adventures with; I could never do something like that to hurt Sam.
In the end, I settled for trying to look as feminine as possible. Which is why today I'm dressed in tight jeans and breast inserts that make me appear to be a cup size bigger then my normal B size.
Snapping out of my reverie, taking off the ring and hiding it in my purse, I continued on my way to Sam's place and when I arrived, bid a hello to her parents and went up to her room. She had just finished getting dressed when I entered and crossing the room, I gave her a kiss. Her response was to kiss me back and massage my left breast. Placing a delicate, petite hand down between her leg, I massaged her penis and whispered to her in a low sultry tone, "Later, my darling one."
Sitting down at her vanity and fixing her hair, she asked me what I wanted to do. I knew that she knew about the ring, seeing as she was the only other person I ever told about it. Looking at her, I said, "Well, I thought maybe we could go swimming. Or if not, maybe we can have some fun with the ring. Maybe we could turn Ron into the lesbian female Elf he has always wanted to be and Billy into the Bisexual female Elf she has always wanted to be."
Sam turned to me and said, "Both sound like a good idea. Or we can meet up with the others at the mall?"
I nodded in agreement and after a tick, we decided on...
