Chapter Four.

Saturday: Seven Fifteen P.M.

As Violet drove to the country club in the forest on the outskirts of the city Jerry sat quietly thinking. Anxiety and worry were making their way back into his thoughts. Although he still felt thrills of excitement when the image of his hair rolled up reentered his thoughts, the periods between these flashbacks were lengthening. He had started to wonder what he looked like in these clothes. He knew these were definitely woman's clothes, he was even wearing a corset that made him look like he had breasts. I wonder were all that flesh came from Jerry thought. Jerry continued to try to straighten out his thinking, which was quite difficult since he seemed to vacillate between happiness at the thought of his hair being so pretty and the fear of what he really looked like now. Violet distracted him from this introspection by beginning to tell him what she expected him to do this evening.

"I have a special job for you this evening Jerry. All of the entrants in the style show will go on the stage as pairs. They have all been given numbers and all of the numbers were fastened to their clothing by my employees here at the salon. I have a list of by order of appearance for you to use you are to get them

lined up in correct order and then when I call out their names you are to step through the curtain and curtsy as you move them to enter. You will be

stepping out onto the stage with the entrance of each couple, but all of the attention will be focused on them. As soon as the couple has passed you, step back through the curtain and get the next couple ready. I will go through the procedure with you on the stage before the show for practice. Do you think you can handle that for me, Jerry?"

"Oh yes, Violet it sounds simple enough."

"Good they have all been through practice, but with the excitement of the event, there could be some confusion. Now I have had circles fastened to the floor in a line behind the curtain. In each circle is the number of a couple. As they leave the stage they will return to their own circles and wait until the last

couple completes their walk. On the far left of the stage as the audience views it, is a circle with the letter P, for a presenter, this circle is for you to stand in. From where I will be announcing the show I can see that circle. As soon as everyone is in place you are to step in the circle, look at me and nod your head. At that time I will press the button to open the curtain when the curtain is fully open you are to curtsy again and that will be the cue for all the entrants to do the same. When the applause has died down I will close the curtain and come backstage to escort you to our table."

"I will do my very best Violet, I can see that it is important for the show to go off without a mistake."

"I know you will Jerry and that is one of the reasons I have picked you instead of one of my employees for this important duty. One other important thing you

must remember though, except when you are on the stage you must not go anywhere without being escorted by me, or some other member of the society. All of the members of the society are dressed as I am. Remember this is a woman's society and no men are allowed on the premises without an escort."

By concentrating on the instructions Violet was giving him, Jerry had been able to focus his thoughts somewhat and was now beginning to worry about his appearance again. He knew his eyebrows had been arched into a high feminine appearance and his hair was now very femininely styled. As they had passed under a street light he had noticed his nails had been shaped into ovals and were polished very glossy, thankfully it was a clear polish. The fitted clothes must also give him a feminine appearance, although he had not been able to see himself dressed as yet. While Jerry was fretting to himself Violet had entered the gates to the club. Jerry was very impressed, armed uniformed female guards stopped each car and inspected the membership badges before allowing entry. After entering the gates the drive wound through the wooded grounds for a considerable distance before reaching the main building. What a building it was! An imposingly large multi-storied granite and masonry structure appeared in a softly lighted clearing. Violet pulled into an underground parking garage at the rear and after circling several floors parked in a space near the elevator with her name on it. Jerry knew that Violet made a lot of money from her business, but his surprise at seeing a parking space reserved just for her must have been apparent because Violet asked with a smile:

"Is something wrong Jerry?

"Oh no, I'm just really impressed, I had no idea you were such an important person." 

"If it weren't for the SISTERS I wouldn't be. Everything that I am and have been able to accomplish is due entirely to them. Their concern and care for me have made all of this possible. In turn, I am going to make it all possible for you."

"Boy, this must be a very rich and powerful organization."

"That it is Jerry, but the secret of our success is that each Sister does whatever is possible to help another Sister get anything she wants, as long as it is within the guidelines and suits the purposes of the Society. If you do well here this evening and are liked by the Sisters then I can depend on them to help me make you into a success." Violet explained as they took the elevator to the ballroom floor.

Violet showed Jerry all the positions on the stage she had told him about and then rehearsed him in how to perform a graceful curtsy. It took several tries before Jerry could perform to Violet's satisfaction. Not the least of Jerry's problems were the heels on his shoes, he had just barely learned to walk with reasonable poise by swinging his hips somewhat. The corset had caused a considerable change in his posture and restricted his movements somewhat, the new center of gravity gave him a little trouble with his balance. Soon he was able to curtsy and move his arm in a sweeping motion of introduction gracefully enough for Violet and she went over the list of entrants with him. Finally satisfied with Jerry's proficiency and understanding, Violet advised him that the couples would come to the stage from the dressing room at the proper time so all he had to do was line them up when they arrived. She then left him there to perform his duties while she left to take care of some last-minute details.

Jerry rehearsed all that Violet had told him, walking the path he was to take when making introductions, even practicing the arm movement and curtsy. When he had practiced walking enough that the slight swing of his hips necessary to walk smoothly became almost effortless he returned to his position to await the arrival of the entrants. Soon after Jerry returned to the edge of the stage to wait, the first couple arrived. Jerry quickly brought the first couple to their circle, looking at the couple he thought he must have misunderstood Violet's description of the entrants. The more mature half of the couple was wearing a dress just like Violet, but that was apparently a girl in a prom dress with her, maybe there is more than one part to this program and Violet just forgot to tell me, but before he could give it any thought the second couple arrived.

As soon as he had lined up the last couple Jerry heard the music begin and hurried to his place by the curtain. On his cue, he stepped through the curtain and swept his arm toward the audience as Violet had taught him. The first couple walked through the curtain to begin their journey down the catwalk as  Violet began her narration:

"Mother number one has chosen the color pink for her son, this strapless pink formal has a fitted waist and lace bodice, the satin skirt is covering three layers of starched cotton petticoats which are over pink nylon and lace pantaloons. As you will notice this evening all of the hairstyles of the proteges are similar to the Sister who has sponsored them. Couple number one chose the popular permed bob, which compliments their dark brunette hair perfectly. We used Rich Dark Brown's permanent color on both to get the perfect match. Couple number two"

Oh my god, Jerry thought as he hustled to and from the curtain! I didn't misunderstand what Violet said. She just said the mother chose pink for her son! But they all look like teenage girls. They all have makeup, earrings, very feminine hairstyles, and are all wearing dresses! This is very unusual! As the second group began to enter the backstage area Jerry was again astounded. One half of each couple was dressed like Violet, but the other half, except for the fact that they appeared slightly more mature, had very feminine hair, were wearing makeup, had pierced ears, and dresses very similar to the younger ones. But these are supposed to be boyfriends and husbands! How in the world did these women get them to go along with this? Is this what Violet's special programs are all about? Are these mothers, wives, and girlfriends bringing the boys and men into the salon to have their appearance changed to females? Jerry's thoughts remained confused about what he had seen but he continued to perform his job perfectly. Soon the whole group was assembled behind the curtain again and as Jerry stood in his designated spot Violet caught his eye and opened the curtain to a thunderous round of applause. Jerry and each couple curtsied repeatedly as the applause continued to fill the ballroom.

Chapter Five.

Violet came backstage to meet Jerry and they were immediately surrounded by the entrants offering their thanks to Violet for a perfect program. Jerry was surprised when many of the ladies came up to compliment him on his lovely hairstyle and clothing. Not knowing what to say, no one in his whole life had ever complimented him like that before, Jerry could only smile say thank you, and blush. Soon everyone began to drift away toward the banquet tables, and Violet led Jerry to their places near the head table.

"Didn't I tell you everyone would just love your hair, Jerry?" Violet asked as they walked to the table.

"Yes, you were right of course, it is very pretty, it's just so"

"So feminine?" Violet replied.

"Yes, too feminine!" Jerry stated.

"Well in my opinion too feminine is not possible, but if I had not given you a definitely feminine appearance you would not have been allowed to be here at all. No one with a masculine appearance is ever allowed on the grounds at any time, and any male even with a feminine appearance, must be under the supervision of a Sister. All of the contestants tonight have been undergoing feminizing treatments and training for months just to have the opportunity to appear in the program tonight. I hardly think a new hairstyle and feminine clothing is much of a sacrifice on your part."

After everyone had been seated a number of waitresses served a glass of white wine to each of the ladies. Jerry noticed that no one touched their glass until one lady at the head table stood up with her glass in her hand, at which time all of the ladies stood up with theirs. Since all of them were dressed alike Jerry assumed this was to be some sort of opening ceremony. The lady at the head table who was the first to arise began to speak:

"The Sisterhood is gathered together here to continue our work. All Sisters will join me in the pledge."

"I am a Sister by the grace and kindness of all other Sisters. I shall each day give thanks for the privilege that has been bestowed upon me. I will work every day to further the goals of the Sisterhood, and to seek each day for those who would make worthy additions to our number. I pledge my eternal devotion to the principles of our Sisterhood. and to my fellow Sisters. I shall always seek that which is good for my Sisters and as in the ancient days to never reveal our purpose to any male person until he has, by the trial of the Goddess of Phrygia, been made acceptable for membership in the Sisterhood."

Jerry mulled the pledge over and over but could not decipher all of the meaning, having never heard of a Goddess of Phrygia. Everyone was seated again and the waitresses began serving. Each of the ladies received white wine while all of the protege's and Jerry received a light pink wine. Upon tasting, Jerry recognized it as the same great wine he had been given at the salon. Jerry tried to appear casual but drank most of his wine as soon as possible, he remembered how it had helped him get over his nervous feelings while in the salon. As he looked around the tables he could see that all the proteges were also drinking theirs rather fast. The meal was excellent, each person was served a large green salad with marinated slices of chicken breast, a side plate of vegetable slices, and a delicious dip for the vegetables. Glasses of water and continuous refills of the delicious wine. Jerry had become accustomed to eating these types of meals, as Violet was emphatic about no red meat. He had to admit that other than an occasional craving for bacon and eggs he felt much better now that he stayed on Violet's diet and vitamin pills and was participating in her aerobics classes. His waist had gotten considerably smaller, and his body generally seemed to be more fit and full of energy, but he could not account for the extra flesh that seemed to be showing up on his hips and chest. He guessed it had something to do with the dietary changes and exercise, probably just a phase he was going through before he really slimmed down all over. The boy? girl sitting next to Jerry seemed to chatter incessantly, calling Jerry's attention to the other's dresses and hairstyles and asking his opinion about each one. Jerry kept smiling, nodding his head in agreement, and making what he thought were appropriate comments. 

Jerry was feeling much happier about his situation again, but he really wanted a few moments of quiet to sort out his thinking. Everything about this event seemed strange, yet Jerry couldn't help agreeing that all of the boys were very pretty. He was starting to have those visions of how he looked with his hair being permed to enter his consciousness again. While he was enjoying the thrill all over again, Jerry's seating companion told him how envious he was of his lovely blonde curls, explaining that he had just been dying to have a perm but his mother just insisted he keeps the shoulder-length page boy to match her own. He told Jerry his Mother had brought him to the salon for his eighteenth birthday nearly a year ago, and although he had been very unhappy than with everything she was having done to him, he had eventually come to love his new appearance and just adored having all the beauty treatments now. By paying careful attention to this very pretty boy talking to him, Jerry was able to suppress the exciting feelings he was starting to have. Jerry was surprised when the boy asked him if it made his nipples get hard and did he get all excited when he got his perm. Caught off guard by this question Jerry admitted that he was still being thrilled just thinking about it.

"Oooh I knew it, I just can't wait until I can have mine permed and bleached like yours. I get all trembly just having mine set." he gushed. "I am so happy to be in the program tonight, Mother has promised me if I win a scholarship she will let that wonderful Dr. Black give me lovely big breasts for my next birthday!"

Jerry was sipping on his glass of wine when he heard that comment and nearly choked. Give him breasts for his birthday!

Thankfully Jerry did not have to offer a comment in response, he was so shocked he did not know what to say. Before he could recover from his choking spell the plates were being cleared away and a hushed feeling was coming over the room. He wanted to ask the boy about this Dr. Black, but before he could Violet told Jerry that it was time for the awards ceremony, and took his hand in hers. Violet had told Jerry she had great hopes that all of the entrants would win scholarships, for that would validate her program and assure it's continuance. The anticipation among the entrants in the room was so strong it was almost visible. Jerry noticed various gestures of nervousness among the entrants sitting close to him, some biting knuckles others twisting their napkins, and the one next to him constantly turning his --uh her bracelet while literally bouncing up and down in her chair!

"The judges have given me their decision, and I am happy to announce that a full scholarship has been awarded to each of the entrants."

The roar of applause drowned out any further comment and the chair-lady had to wait until everyone calmed down. Entrants were jumping up and down, hugging each other, laughing and crying with joy,  but then Jerry noticed one of the older ones sitting quietly with a look of resignation on his face. Jerry made a mental note to try to talk to that one to see why he wasn't as deliriously happy as the others seemed to be.

"The Sisterhood owes a debt of gratitude to Sister Violet for making this first step in our new program such a great success. In recognition of her efforts for the Sisterhood, the Council has voted to grant a full scholarship to another person here tonight. Although he did not enter the program, he volunteered to assist Violet in making sure our first presentation would go off smoothly. His cooperation with Violet is evident for him to achieve such a lovely appearance, and especially for this event. His is the type of extra effort we love to see exhibited. Therefore it gives me great pleasure to reward Sister Violet by granting immediate entrance to the INSTITUTE OF THE SISTERS for her companion Jeri."

My god thought Jerry, she's talking about me! He turned to ask Violet what it meant but she had risen and was being mobbed by many of the ladies that were dressed as she was. They were hugging and kissing and congratulating Violet and he had no chance to get her attention. As he stood waiting he felt a touch on his shoulder and turned to see another of the ladies.

"Jeri, if you will come with me I will escort you to the ballroom for the dance. Violet will be along later."

Jerry followed along with the lady as she brought him to a huge room to a table along the wall. Two others were already seated there at a table for four when his escort seated herself leaving only room for him. As he turned to his escort to question where Violet would sit she answered as if having read his mind:

"Everyone who is a guest must sit together on this side of the ballroom with one of us at each table. Violet will be sitting with the other Sisters for the duration of the dance. If you need to leave the table for any reason, except to dance with a Sister, I will escort you or you may ask one of the Sisters that asks you to dance."

Chapter Six.

Jerry looked around the table and realized he was flanked by the boy he had been sitting by earlier, and the entrant who had the glum look on his face when the scholarships were announced. Jerry still wanted to talk to him and ask why he looked so unhappy, after winning a scholarship. After all, that was what the contest was all about, wasn't it? But before he could get his attention, the boy he had talked with earlier started a conversation again.

"Oh isn't this just wonderful of them to give you a scholarship too, and you get to go to the Institute right away, I just know all the others are dying with

envy like me." "I'm afraid I don't know anything about it. Why would you be envious of me?" Jerry asked.

"Because you get to go live at the Institute right away, silly. The rest of us have to live at home for two years, and only get to go to the Institute occasionally, you know, for special training and treatments. You will be there all the time and will get everything right away that we want so bad, but have to wait for. You can graduate in just two years while it will take us three years to qualify for initiation into society."

Jerry was about to ask more questions when Violet came to the table to get Jerry for the first dance. Jerry had always been an excellent dancer, this was probably the reason he had been popular with girls while in high school. Normally if you weren't a sports jock you didn't get a second glance. However he had to do some adapting after he met Violet, she always insisted on leading. At first, Jerry was a little embarrassed when they went out, but it only took a little while for his dancing skills to take over and he was able to let the other partner lead so skillfully it appeared as if they moved as one. In fact, Jerry had found he could make the female lead appear to be a much better dancer than she really was. Of course, this had made him a popular partner with Violet's friends. A strange thought flickered through Jerry's mind as they began to dance, he had been following Violet's lead since they first met. Was it because she was older than Jerry, or was she really a dominating person? Jerry had to admit he wasn't sure which, if either, but considering what had happened to him since they first met she certainly had changed his life. except for a few times like last night and today, he had acquiesced to her wishes without the slightest protest. Jerry suddenly giggled as he thought of a phrase he hadn't heard since high school "she was leading him around by his penis". Oh my, he thought I just giggled like a silly girl, I better slack off on the wine. I am feeling much too happy.

"What's so funny Jeri?" Violet asked.

"Oh, I guess that was just a happy sound, I was just thinking how beautiful you are and what a wonderful lover," Jerry replied.

"Well thank you, Jeri, you are really quite pretty tonight too. I am glad to hear you laugh, that must mean you are enjoying yourself."

The dance music at these functions, as Jerry was learning, was always selected to encourage classic ballroom dancing. As the Strauss waltz began Violet lead off vigorously and they were soon twirling around the floor in grand style. Violet was as skilled as a dancer as Jerry and it was evident that they were both enjoying themselves tremendously. They were both smiling happily as they gazed into each other's eyes, and Jerry felt like Violet was consuming his soul with her piercingly blue eyes. The drugged wine (Jerry did not know that the wine that tasted so good had specially designed mood-altering ingredients) had obliterated all of Jerry's inhibitions and resistance and he abandoned himself completely to Violet and the dance. Enveloped in the fragrance of his and Violet's perfume, the vision of Violet's beauty alternating with remembered visions of his own lovely appearance, lifted Jerry to heights delirious excitement. Lost to their surroundings, they danced around the whole ballroom in such style and grace that everyone in the room was mesmerized at the sight. Many of the other couples even stopped dancing to watch. As the waltz came to an end, Violet raised her left hand high and Jerry did a perfect pirouette, ending in a low curtsy. The crowd immediately responded with applause for their spectacular performance. Violet hugged Jerry and whispered "I love you Jeri" as they were surrounded by the others offering compliments. Jerry was swamped with dance partners, dancing six straight times without returning to the table. Violet claimed him for the seventh dance but Jerry asked with some urgency if she would please take him to the restroom.

Jerry started hesitating as they neared the door plainly marked "Ladies Powder Room", sensing his hesitation, Violet asked;

"Is something wrong Jeri?"

"But this is the Ladies Room!"

"Of course it is, that is the only kind to be found here. Now come on in if you really need to use the facilities."

"Oh I do, but what if some other woman is in there!"

"There probably will be Jeri, maybe even some of the entrants also, what difference could that possibly make? You have been totally accepted by the Society, you are expected to use this room."

Jerry carefully followed Violet through the door staying as close to her as possible. His worst fears were realized when he saw there were several women at the mirrors and washbasins. Violet quickly guided him to an empty stall and then went into the one next to it. Jerry began the tedious procedure of extracting himself from his unfamiliar clothing by carefully lowering his filmy pants to the floor. He was gratified to see that the floor was absolutely spotless, being surprised to find himself thinking it would be a shame to spoil the delicate material. The lovely green material of the clothing that only a few hours earlier he did not want to wear. Some wiggling and twisting were required to lower the panty girdle before he could unsnap the blouse and finally drop the bikini panties. During all of these maneuvers the urgency of his need to be here intensified greatly, so much so that the force of the stream striking the water in the bowl sounded unusually loud. Apparently, it was as loud as he feared because he heard a muffled laugh from Violet in the adjacent stall. Even the embarrassment caused by the loud sound was not enough to keep him from uttering an audible sigh of relief as he fully relaxed. After what seemed a long time the flow finally stopped and as he looked down to retrieve the pantie he saw the sanitary napkin was soiled by a large spot of his male fluids. Reaching to touch his penis confirmed that he was covered with that sticky but partially dried liquid. 

How he thought, has that happened it has been so squashed down there it could not have gotten hard! He remembered then how excited he had gotten when he had the visions of himself with his hair all rolled in the perm rods and as this thought brought him the answer it also brought a reoccurrence of the vision. He had not removed his hand from feeling the stickiness, and as he was feeling the excitement building with the return of the vision he suddenly felt warm fluid flowing across his fingers. A frantic repositioning so he could see confirmed that his ejaculate was actually

flowing out of his limp penis!

"Violet!" whispered Jerry urgently.

"Yes, I know, look in your purse for the square foil package, there are some moist towels in it to clean up with. There are also some fresh napkins in your purse so you can change the one you soiled." Violet whispered back, with a hint of merriment in her tone of voice.

She knows what I was going to say because she knew what going to happen. That's why she put the pad in the panties, to begin with. But how did she know? Jerry was still mulling over these thoughts even after he had cleaned himself and finally managed to get all the unfamiliar clothing back in place. As he opened the stall door he found he was facing the mirrored wall over the lavatories. He was presented with a lovely face skillfully enhanced with cosmetics, and crowned with multi-toned light blonde hair carefully arranged in beautiful curls and waves. He was fascinated by his appearance and subconsciously moved closer to the mirror. Seeing they were alone in the rest-room, Violet moved behind Jerry and pressed her body to his. She whispered in his ear:

"You are beautiful Jeri, your femininely arched eyebrows accent your tasteful makeup exquisitely, your lovely curls are irresistible, and you love it all. turn around Jeri, I want to show you something."

As if he were in a trance, Jerry slowly pulled his eyes away from the vision in the mirror and turned to face Violet. She handed Jerry a large hand mirror from the vanity counter, instructing him to hold it so he could see the back of his head in the mirror. As he did so Violet placed a forefinger over each of his nipples and began to caress them lightly with her nails.

"Can you see your beautiful curls, Jeri?"

"OH yes!"

"Do you like your bouncy blonde curls?"

"Umm yes," Jerry moaned as he felt his nipples swelling.

"Your lovely crisp permanent wave curls?"

"Oh yes, yes, yes, yes!" Jerry cried urgently as he climaxed shatteringly. Violet swiftly took him into her arms, kissing him hungrily, lashing his mouth and tongue with hers as he clung to her moaning weakly. Violet gently kissed his forehead, cheeks, and lips as Jerry trembled and sobbed in the final throes of passion.

Chapter Seven.

It was quite some time before Jerry was able to return to the ballroom. Violet had to repair his mascara runs from his tears. Jerry did not understand why he had cried, he felt so happy and had just experienced the most shattering climax of his life. Violet was so wonderful to comfort him and help him regain a measure of composure. Violet returned him to his seat and left him alone with the Sister and the entrant he had been wanting to talk to. The excited chatterbox of a boy was off dancing.

"Hi, I'm Jerry, I have been wanting an opportunity to talk to you all evening. I noticed that when the scholarships were announced you did not seem to be nearly as happy as the others. I was wondering why?

"Billy here, I didn't realize it showed. I guess I better get control over my expressions. Do you really want to know, or are you just being curious?"

"Yes I really do want to know, everyone, except you was almost delirious over winning."

"I don't suppose it can hurt anything now, I don't see how I can get into any more trouble than I'm already in by telling you. I don't know how the rest of you got involved in this, but I actually chose to participate, although it really wasn't much of a choice. I had been dating this young woman for several months and wanted to get engaged, Joni, that's her name, wanted to wait. We are both law clerks for Judge Alicia Dumont and met when we were hired after graduation from law school. Well anyway, Joni was always very romantic and initiated a lot of foreplay but always stopped short of intercourse. 

We had attended a party given by the Judge at her home and Joni led me out to the deserted pool house and really started coming on. She had me really fired up and I was lying half on top of her when she suddenly said stop. I think you can understand that my answer was no and I kept on kissing and fingering her. She had always liked me to bring her to climax with my finger even when she said quit. Suddenly she went from panting and moaning to screaming for me to get off. I guess I was so shocked that I didn't move right away, and all of a sudden the lights went on. Two off duty policemen that were working the Judge's party grabbed me, put the handcuffs on, and brought me to the Judges

study. Of course, the Judge believed Joni's story and the policemen agreed with her. Joni by this time had calmed down and told the Judge she did not want to press charges, she didn't think I was really going to rape her I just wasn't sensitive to her feelings. Because the policemen observed me on top of her while she was screaming the Judge correctly informed me that I could be prosecuted for rape even if Joni didn't want to press charges. The Judge dismissed the officers and told them to take me home. She told me not to leave my apartment until she told me I could. If I did not obey her order she would have me arrested and brought to jail. She said she would discuss this matter further with Joni and then make a decision concerning my future. You can understand that I did not get any sleep that night and was still pacing the floor worried sick about what was going to happen to me when the Judge had her secretary call for me to be in her office at four that afternoon. At the meeting with the Judge and Joni, I was advised by Judge Dumont that Joni was very concerned about me and really cared for me. She was just afraid of my aggressive male behavior, this being the reason she said, that she had delayed becoming engaged. Judge Dumont expressed her desire to keep me as an employee since my work had been outstanding. 

She said she had looked into some possibilities and found a program that would help modify my excessively masculine behavior and increase my sensitivity to the needs of women. The choice she offered me was to enroll in this preliminary program with Joni as my supervisor, if I obeyed all of Joni's instructions and cooperated fully with the program for six months, she would see that I got an opportunity to enter a contest for a scholarship to the Sister's Institute where I could obtain advanced training. If at the end of the preliminary training I did not qualify for a scholarship she would sever my employment and hold the case open dependent on my future behavior. If I complete the advanced training and qualify for initiation into the Society, she will take that as evidence of complete reformation and drop all possibility of prosecution and will continue to employ me. Obviously, to avoid prison I chose this program. I have wondered lately if I should not have taken my chances in court. I don't know what will happen to me at the Institute, but I am afraid it will only get worse."

"Gee Billy that is some story. But surely this is better than prison."

"I don't know Jerry, at least in prison my sentence would end in a few years. This sentence will never end."

"What do you mean by that Billy."

"Look at me Jerry, my eyebrows have been permanently arched into a feminine curve, all my body hair has been removed, and the medications I have been forced to take are making my breasts grow. I had no idea this is what they meant by modifying my behavior. How can I ever live as a man again, I have been sentenced to look like this for the rest of my life!"

"I guess I didn't think about it like that. Has it been all that bad, I mean didn't you like any of the things they have done to you." Jerry said thinking of the thrills he had been enjoying.

"Well maybe some of it hasn't been so bad, and yeah I have enjoyed some of it. I just realized the moment that I heard that I had won a scholarship that I was going to have to live as a woman for the rest of my life. I don't know what will happen at the institute and I guess I am worried because I don't know. Since I don't have a choice I suppose I better try to enjoy it." Billy said reaching for his wine glass.

Jerry was in considerable demand due to his dancing skills and was asked by many of the ladies. After about ten more dances a gong sounded and all of the entrants were returned to their seats. Jerry and his companions were admonished to remain in their seats until their sponsors came to get them. The band began playing a slow tune and all of the ladies began dancing with each other as the lights were dimmed. The two seated at the table with Jerry like him had been hitting the wine regularly and they all seemed to be lost in thought sitting calmly with pleasant smiles on their faces. The music had ended but Jerry did not stir from his musing until Violet came to get him to leave. Jerry appeared to be in a trance as they drove home in silence.
