Tiama stirred and rolled over, shifting into a new position. Next to her, someone gave off a soft noise and snuggled closer. Suddenly Taima remembered the note and how she had used it to make a wish to be female.
"But the wish didn't come true," she thought. "I still remember growing up male and I still don't know the first thing about being a girl...except what I have noticed about my sister." She paused for a moment and then asked herself, "So why do I think my name is Taima?"
Unsure, Taima reached down and gently placed a had between her legs, but drew it back just as quick...all the while attempting to keep from waking the person sleeping next to her. What she found when she had placed her hand down there troubled her. And with these thoughts in mind, she shifted and slid out of bed.
Grabbing a robe, Taima looked at the sleeping form, noting that she really couldn't make it out in the dim light. Looking at the clock, seeing that it was about five thirty and she had to get ready for school in about an hour, Taima shrugged and headed for the bathroom.
Inside, she shut and locked the door and flipping on the light, she paused a moment and then disrobed. Looking down at herself and then looking up into the mirror above the sink, she thought, "Well it must have worked because I suddenly am female...though note a human female. So why is that I still remember my life as a male?"
Alone with these thoughts, Tiama took in her appearance: a long neck; a head, and matching set of ears, that almost looked equine except for the soft purple scales that cover it; purple eyes that hint at a fierceness and independence; glimmering silverish-pink scales that begin on the neck...just below the snout...and travel down her belly and disappear right about the spot of the mons-pubis; light coloured spines that start between her ears and travel down her elongated neck, across her back and down her long tail; hands that end in three fingers a thumb with sharp looking pink claw-like finger nails; and finally a set of feet...also ending in three toes with the same nail-like claw set on, all balanced on cat's paws.
"What kind of female is this," Tiama asked herself as she placed a hand between her legs and touching the soft, light purple patch of skin, verifying that she was indeed female.
Unsure of what she had just gotten herself into, and trying desperately to remember her male name, Tiama flicked her tail and sat down on the toilet. After a bit, a stream of urine exited her body. As she sat there, wondering what she was going to do, a knock came from the other-side of the door and a voice asked, "Tiama? Are you all right?"
Without giving it much thought, Tiama answered, "Yeah. I'll be out in a moment Erica," and then reached for some toilet paper.
As she heard someone walking softly away, Tiama stared at the toilet paper and then asked herself, "What am I supposed to do with this and how did I know that person was named Erica?"
Questions flooding her mind...causing confusion because she remembered growing up male, but knew things about being female that she hadn't previously known...Tiama took the toilet paper and gently wiped the area between her legs. Confused on how she knew how and why to do this, Tiama stood, flushed and then washed her hands.
After putting back on her robe...and realisng that she must have shrunk in the night, but confused on why she thought this...Tiama headed back to her room. Upon seeing the humanoid looking Doe mouse sitting on her bed, Tiama suddenly remembered the name Tyler...but couldn't figure out for the life of anyone important why this name was important. Sighing, she disrobed and sitting down next to the mouse-woman, she laid her head on Erica's shoulders and quietly said, "I am so confused."
Erica nodded and replied, "So am I. I mean, last night was my first time and I still am attempting to sort out if what I feel is right."
Unsure, but realising that Erica was talking about sex, Tiama nodded and without giving it a second thought, placed a hand across the other girl's shoulder. As she sat there, comforting the other girl, she whispered gently, "I love you...that I am sure about."
Next to her, Erica nodded and then whispered back, "I love you to."
