You move your collection over to Sue's room. It's quite a large pile once it's all in one place. You're about to hide it in the back of Sue's - no - your closet when you realize you may not be in this body long. You don't know where Sue is either. It would be better to stash all this stuff somewhere else.
Before running around the house you decide to get dressed. It's pretty difficult - every time you pull out some blouse or skirt you remember seeing Sue wearing it and the disconnect really messes with you. Plus there seems to be some part of your brain that's thinking about clothes differently. You look at one skirt and think 'light blue' but that other part thinks 'powder blue'. You grab a shirt and think 'pink' but the other bit screams 'fuchsia' at you.
Great, you have your sister's sense of color and fashion. You spend way more time than ever before getting dressed, constantly tossing aside one article of clothing or another for making you look fat, for not matching your shoes, for letting your bra show too much or too little.
You even change your underwear a few times to see if it works better with the new combination you've picked out. As a result you end up reaching the bottom of your sister's underwear drawer. Under all the different cuts and colors of panties you find a thin box of specialty condoms. Strawberry flavored. Yet another reason Sue's such a popular girl.
In the end you put on an ass hugging little black skirt combined with a powder blue - LIGHT blue damn it! - blouse. It's cut low enough to show off your cleavage and loose enough that you can arrange for guys to get an even better look when you want them to.
Along with some earrings, a necklace and some pantyhose you feel ready to face the world. You have to fight the urge to wear those tall heels, opting instead for more practical flat black shoes. After all, even that annoying little bit of your mind is willing to admit that you won't look very good wobbling around like you're on stilts.
Finally you grab the stuff and head downstairs. You need somewhere public enough that you'll be able to get to it as either Sue or Rob, but somewhere nobody will ever look. Downstairs you find the perfect place, hidden away in the drop ceiling above the bathroom.
With your photo collection well hidden you head back to Sue's room and spend a few minutes trying to guess her password before remembering that you went to your - Rob's - room for money.
Again you heave the mattress out of the way. This time your fingers close on the envelope and you pull out your little emergency fund. Maybe you're a little paranoid, but you always wanted to make sure that if you needed money you wouldn't have to leave a trail. Since you don't know your sister's credit card pin (and no one is likely to believe you're a girl named Rob) it seems that was a good bet. |
