"What do you mean, not just your panties, aunty Susan?" Jared asked.
"I would have thought that was obvious", his/her aunt remarked. What
Jared said next brought his aunt back to reality. "For a naturally
female girl, maybe, but I'm a guy...well, that was how I was born!"
he said. Just then, Jennifer White entered unannounced. "Oh, excuse
me, but I'm looking for Jared, aunty Susan. I'm Jennifer White", she
said. "Then you may as well come in, close the door and sit on the
setee, because you're going to get quite a shock", aunty Susan said.
She did as she was told, then aunty Susan said, "You may as well show
her, girl". Jared, or rather Jennie, turned around to face Jennifer.
"Hello, Jen", he/she said. "Jared, is that you?" "Yes, it is", he confirmed". "But...but how? You're a guy!" she exclaimed. Jared sat
down and sighed. "Do I look like a guy to you?" he asked. Jennifer
also sighed. "No. No, you don't. You're the spitting image of me", she
admitted. She listened patiently while Jared explained how he came to
look exactly like her. He added, "I don't know how female the medallion has made me, Jennifer. Please don't touch it. I wouldn't
want you to look like a boy". "Point taken, sister", she said. Seeing
him flinch at the word sister, she said, "Well, until we find a way
to solve your problem, you'll have to walk like a girl, talk like a
girl, sit like a girl, adopt feminine mannerisms, think like a girl,
dress like a girl, apply make-up like a girl, behave like a girl, in
short, BE a girl. And if you don't want to be called a sissy or
a sister, you can be a distant cousin of mine who rarely visits our
family because of the confusion it causes. Yes, you can be Catherine
Barbara St. John. Now fortunately for you, I always carry spares. Take that medallion off. Jared obeyed, only to find himself stuck as
Catherine St. John. Accepting the bra, he struggled manfully-or should that be womanfully?-to put it on. Taking pity on the new girl,
Jennifer removed her blouse and bra, and showed Cathy the correct way to put on a bra. Having finally secured the bra, she showed him how
to put on a pretty blouse. After a hospital test, Catherine, now waited for her test results to arrive. Finally, the doctor,
Jennifer's mother, arrived. "The results are pretty conclusive,
daughter, Jared Williams may once have been male, but he is now and
forever a young woman who will never age". The male surgeon said,
seeing the look of hopelessness on female Jared's face, "I'm sorry,
there is nothing we can do". Jennifer said, "Maybe there is. Mum,
when I was growing up, I heard dad mention an identical twin. Was what I heard a rumour, or was it for real?" Dr. Andrea White said,
"It was for real. Jared was your twin sister, but was given to another family, who raised her as a boy. Jared said, "Do you really
mean that I was born female, doctor?" She looked Jared straight in
the eyes, she replied, "Yes, Catherine Anne White". "And the transformation device I found?" "Was a gift from an extraterrestrial
visitor. It was specially keyed to restore you to your true self.
Jennifer, meet your twin sister". Jennifer fainted, but Catherine
caught her, and carried her home. "Wha-what happened?" she asked.
"You fainted, but were caught by your twin sister Catherine, who
you once knew as Jared, and touching the transformation medallion
restored her to her true self. In fact, with your help, she will
learn to enjoy her new life"/
