"So how'd it go?" Amanda asked Natalie when she returned
two hours later.
"I've never seen two grown men complain as much as these
two." Natalie
rolled her eyes. "But besides that," she grinned broadly. "It
went great."
Natalie nodded behind Amanda, and she turned. There stood
Steve and Jesse,
decked out in women's dresses and standing like men. Amanda
wrinkled her nose.
"Now what?" Steve asked.
"Well," Amanda began. "You look more like women now...."
"Ugly women," Natalie whispered.
"I heard that," Jesse said as Natalie and Amanda choked
back their laughter.
Amanda coughed twice and continued. "You don't exactly
walk like women."
Steve and Jesse looked at each other for a minute, then
back at Amanda. When Amanda didn't say anything, Steve spoke
up. "Well, you are going to teach us aren't you?"
It was a chore trying not to laugh again, but Amanda and
Natalie were able to do it. Natalie nodded and held out her
hand gesturing as she spoke. "Walk
over here, then turn around and walk back."
Steve and Jesse stood looking at her for a minute before
Steve jabbed Jesse and he started forward. He wobbled across
the floor in the high heels and stopped in front of Amanda
and Natalie before turning in what he hoped was a
graceful manner and walking back to where Steve stood.
Amanda and Natalie looked at each other, still trying not
to laugh, before giving Jesse tips on how to move.
"Hold your ankles still."
"Don't drag your feet."
"Walk like you're on a tightrope."
"Stand up straight and hold your head high."
"Sway your hips a little more."
"Not quite that much."
"The swaying or the head," Jesse asked.
"The swaying," Amanda replied.
Jesse did as he was told and tried again.
"Not bad," Amanda said. "It needs some work, but it's not
bad. Steve it's your turn."
Steve rolled his eyes and walked forward.
"Now, I gave her, uh him, flats because of the height,"
Natalie said.
"They're easier to walk in as well," Amanda said as Steve
walked back.
"But finding a size to fit....," Natalie shook her head.
Steve turned around and looked at them through narrowed
eyes.
"Gunboats," Amanda agreed.
"How'd I do?" Steve asked.
Amanda and Natalie looked at each other. Amanda wrinkled
her nose and shook her head. "Like this," she said as she
walked across the room and back. "Got it now?"
Steve and Jesse looked at each other then back to Amanda.
"No," they said together.
"Watch again," Natalie said, and Amanda took another trip
across the room.
"Now you try," Amanda ordered.
Steve and Jesse walked across the floor and back. Amanda
and Natalie looked at each other. "Well," Natalie said.
"They're getting better."
Amanda nodded. "Ready to go.... girls?"
"No," they said together.
"But we're as ready as we'll ever be," Jesse went on.
"After you," Amanda said with a gesture to the door.
Steve and Jesse, er, Stephanie and Jessica exited the
store with as much dignity and grace as they could muster,
Amanda trailing after.
"Good luck," Natalie called as she watched them go.
Steve stepped out on the street and prompty ran into a
small woman entering. The woman looked up and up until her
eyes met Steve's.
"You are such a tall woman," she said. "Shopping must be
a drag."
Jesse and Amanda burst out laughing as the woman went
past Steve and walked into the store, but stopped their laughing when he gave them a sharp
look.
"If looks could kill," Jesse began as Steve turned on his
heel and stalked towards Amanda's car.
"We would be sooo, dead," Amanda finished for him.
They caught up with Steve and hopped in the car. "I think
she knew," Steve commented.
"How?" Jesse asked.
"She took one look at us and, well....," Steve shrugged.
"You don't know that," Amanda said as she glanced over at
Steve. He was scratching his leg with one hand. "Don't do that!"
"It itches," Steve replied.
"No kidding," Amanda replied. "Your hose will run."
"Mine itch too," Jesse said. "Isn't there anything we
could do about it?"
"Shave your legs," Amanda replied.
"No way," Jesse and Steve said together.
"Then don't scratch," Amanda replied.
"How do you stand it?" Jesse asked as Amanda stopped for
a red light.
She looked at the two men dressed as women. They looked
back expectantly. "We just do," she replied with a shrug.
When they finally got back to the hospital and Steve and
Jesse headed for Steve's car, Amanda stepped up behind them
and snapped their bra straps.
"Ow, what was that for?" Steve asked as both men rubbed
their backs.
"Revenge for every girl that you ever did that to in high
school," Amanda replied as she got back in her car and drove
away.
