Ted downed the mixture with a degree of relief. While the night had been interesting, it sure wasn’t for him on a full-time basis. Rowan watched his mate drink the potion that would return him to his original male form. They had enjoyed a night out as Tabitha and Mindy by using the potion that switched their bodies from male to female.

They had forked out a lot of cash for the experience and it had been an eye opener. They paid this shady guy Keith who hung around their college, a small fortune for the two vials of the DNA switching formula and the two vials of formula to switch back.

Clubbing the night away in skimpy outfits and engaging in some heavy petting with a couple of guys sure was different for the two college students. In fact Rowan even had his privates fondled by one guy before he decided that that was far enough to go.

Now they were home at their apartment and had spent a good hour swapping notes about their night of switched gender. Neither guy had done anything too serious as it turned out but they both knew they should switch back now and not wait too long. Keith had told them the longer they stayed changed the more and more that the new DNA would take hold. Rowan took his formula and sat while his body quivered and changed back to his normal self. Now he watched Ted down his vial which he mixed into a scotch to improve the taste.

Rowan’s change had been almost instantaneous but Ted stood and waited for a while and nothing seemed to happen. Seconds turned into minutes as Ted waited and began to get a little nervous. After twenty minutes he was concerned. Rowan tried to call Keith on his cell but it was on message bank.

As the time got late, tiredness set in and as scared as Ted was he eventually succumbed to sleep. It was late morning before he stirred. Ted was still lying on the couch and he called out for Rowan who appeared from his room still pretty wasted himself. They tried Keith again but no luck. Ted stood up and felt quite sick to the stomach and quickly headed to the bathroom and threw up. Gingerly he returned to the living room. Ted felt better but wasn’t happy to still be female.

Rowan was concerned about his mate but something else was troubling him. The fact that the sight of Ted made Rowan hard was very disconcerting. He wasn’t intentionally feeling randy about Ted. It was just a natural reaction to being alone with an attractive girl, who having shed her bra last night because it was bugging her now displayed her assets freely. Ted was not aware of any of this and Rowan decided he best not let Ted in on how he was feeling. Still it was uncomfortable hiding his physical attraction. When Ted said he felt dirty having slept in his clothes and began to undress Rowan didn’t know where to look. Before Rowan could make an excuse to be somewhere else Ted was peeling off the sheer black top he’d worn out the night before and working on getting his skirt off! Rowan didn't know where to look and he was saved any prolonged awkwardness when Ted said he was going to take a long hot shower. Rowan thought a cold shower might do him right now. Rowan tried to contact Keith again as he heard the bath running, not a shower. Funny thing was, Ted never took baths. No luck with Keith who was notoriously hard to find at times. Rowan heard Ted finish in the bathroom and head to his room. Before long he was back in the living room dressed in one of his t-shirts that now worked like a long nightshirt over his altered frame.

They spent most of the day trying to work out what to do and retrying to get a hold of Keith. Finally as it got late Rowan began to get ready for work. The two of them had part time jobs working as waiters at a local restaurant. Rowan said he’d tell the boss that Ted was sick and wasn’t sure if he’d be in this weekend.

Rowan went into work and spent a troubled evening trying not to think of Ted and his situation. When he got home he was a little surprised at what he saw. Ted was sitting on the couch painting his toenails! Rowan was surprised to see Ted was also wearing make-up and under his t-shirt the outlines of his bra. When Ted sort of giggled his hello, Rowan could have sworn Ted had always been a girl. Ted smiled a friendly hello and asked him if he wanted anything to eat. Rowan passed saying it had been busy and he was going straight to bed. He managed to mask the fact that the sight of Ted still turned him on.

Rowan heard Ted go to bed not long after him and he spent a restless night thinking about his mate in the other bedroom.

Sunday morning rolled around and Rowan woke to the smell of bacon! Dragging himself to the kitchen he was stunned to see Ted cooking. Ted never cooked but now his female body shimmied in a tight pair of boxers and tiny t-shirt as he cooked what looked to be pancakes. Ted turned and saw his flatmate standing there and asked him if he fancied some breakfast. Rowan agreed out of politeness but was still a bit shocked. The food was excellent and Rowan found himself really enjoying breakfast as Ted fussed about cleaning dishes and the like. Normally the sink was full of unwashed things, now though the kitchen was spotless.

Ted stopped long enough to ask Rowan if they'd be ringing Keith today as he was feeling strange being a girl and wanted to change back. Rowan grabbed his phone and rang Keith's cell. Keith answered, to Rowan's relief, and he began telling Ted's tale. Ted waited as the conversation ran its course and Rowan hung up. He looked a bit serious and Ted asked for information.

Rowan explained that Keith said it might take a while to get hold of another vial and the price would be the same as what they paid for the two vials previously. Ted squealed a girly sound in anger at the rip-off artist he/she was dealing with. Rowan was pretty mad too specially as they didn't have the money anyway. They decided to confront Keith and try and get him to help them quicker.

Rowan told Ted to wait while he went out first on an errand. About lunchtime Rowan returned with some shopping bags. He found Ted ironing! A neat pile of freshly washed and ironed items of Rowan's lay neatly folded by the changed man as he smiled at his mate. Rowan was lost for words as Ted almost giggled his question as to what was in the bags.

Rowan didn't have much cash but he decided to max his credit card out on some things for Ted. He knew Keith would play hard ball about the money and Ted would definitely be stuck as a girl for a while at least. So he opened bag after bag of clothes. He had bought a couple of dresses, skirts, two pair of shoes, a blouse, underwear and a little bit of jewellery. He hadn't spent much but it was the least he could for his mate. Ted was crying as he examined each item. Rowan was such a good friend, he could never replay him for his thoughtfulness.

Ted took all the items and excitedly went to his room to get dressed. Rowan waited patiently for his mate to get ready. They had to go and see Keith as soon as possible. Ted appeared from his room and Rowan was gob smacked. Before him stood a pretty blonde girl in a dress to her knees and shoes with a bit of heel. Ted did a twirl for her flatmate and Rowan was sure he could see her panties when she did. He was sort rooted to the spot and it was Ted who was calling him to get a move on. Rowan found himself in his car driving Ted over to the rather seedy bar that Keith inhabited.

They pulled into the parking lot and Ted went to get out but Rowan stopped him, saying it wasn't the place for a pretty girl. Ted blushed and reluctantly agreed to stay in the car.

Rowan went in and found Keith and began his pitch for him to supply the formula and work out an arrangement for the money later. Keith wasn't in the mood for being helpful and the more Rowan tried to convince him the more Keith resisted. When a hot chick walked up to him and grabbed him, Keith was a bit surprised, when he realised it was Ted he couldn't get over it. He was hot! Ted was smaller than his male self and younger it seemed to Keith. As Ted badgered the lowlife, Keith saw an opportunity. He stopped the pair before him mid sentence.

"Ok fellas, seems to me your the ones with a problem. Like I said its going to be days maybe a week to get another vial and it's going to cost more for short notice. I'm guessing it will be a few weeks before you can come up with the money and I'm not a credit agency so forget any more begging. Now Ted cutie I don't see you being able to earn any cash towards to this expense while you have no identity. Rowan is going to have to shoulder the burden and I doubt on your little waiter's wage your going to make much headway. Now if Ted had some way of getting a job we'd be able to fix this problem sooner. I have a suggestion if you'd like to hear it." Keith waited for a reply.

"Lets hear it," Ted said softly.

"Well I can arrange through a guy I know to get you some documents like identity, social security so you can get a job."

"How much Keith?" Rowan interjected.

"Well free of charge in terms of cash that is."

"What's the catch," Rowan snapped.

"Easy there friend, I'm trying to help here. I have a financial interest in the Dirt Bar, and well, I could get Ted here some work there, without paperwork, in exchange for the identity stuff." Keith proposed.

"No way Keith, you are one fucking scum bag!" Rowan cursed.

"How long?" Ted piped up.

"Huh?" Both Keith and Rowan said in unison.

"How long do I have to work there for the papers?" Ted asked.

"No way Ted, you can't, that place is a sleazy strip joint!" Rowan tried to stop his mate from what he thought was a bad mistake.

"Relax will you, I can get Ted a job waiting tables and maybe pulling a few beers, nothing to seedy. So maybe four or five days should do it," Keith added

"Ted don't." Rowan almost begged.

"Ok, when do I start?" Ted asked after a moment.

"Call in tomorrow morning about 11am I'll get you set up." Keith said while flashing a sleazy grin to Rowan.

"See you there." Ted replied before asking Rowan if he was coming home.

Keith leered to himself as he watched Rowan and Ted leave the bar. The sight of Ted's backside swaying out the door and the sunlight shining through the cotton dress only made Keith think harder about things.
