She’d kept her silence since Tuesday, but as they sat down for breakfast on Thursday Melanie asked in a small voice: “Have you thought any more about my proposal?”

In truth, Ava had thought of little else.

What Melanie was proposing was that Sean, her boyfriend, should have sex with Ava, her roommate, while wearing Melanie, who would be turned into a condom.

There were so many reasons for saying no that she could think of, and only one for saying yes, and that was to make Melanie happy.

Then she thought about Sean. She’d been gelling back her short hair when he wandered into the bathroom by accident, wearing only briefs.

Okay, so two reasons.

Three if you count her not having sex in six months.

She really shouldn’t.

She said, “Sure, let’s do it.”

Melanie’s face almost cracked in half from the smile. “Fantastic! Thank you! We can venn me at four. I’ll text Sean and let him know!”

Ava only hoped they wouldn’t regret it.

Welcome to Kat’s cafe.

On Tuesday morning, table four had been occupied for some time by a blonde woman in a business suit.

On Wednesday, table four had been occupied by a red-headed woman in jeans with freckles over her nose.

This morning, it was occupied by a short punkish girl with lank green hair, a tongue piercing and both brows, clad in Hot Topic’s finest.

Oddly enough, all these women had ordered the same thing: raisin toast and a large latte.

Because they were in fact the same woman.



Anna sipped her latte and again wondered how anyone drank hot coffee with a tongue stud. Not that they weren’t fun - she had a moment’s entertainment imagining Bella, her girlfriend, reacting to one during a kiss.

She looked up from her book - a collection of Anne Sexton’s poetry, grabbed off the bookshelves at home pretty much at random - and took in Kat behind the coffee machine. Today Kat was wearing a vintage Siouxsie T-shirt and jeans that were more holes than denim. As usual, she wore no bra, with her nipple rings clearly visible under the fabric.

Anna thought she looked tired. Something confirmed by one of Kat’s staff, who said pretty much the same thing.

“I was up late last night, playing with a new couple,” Kat said.

“A bit bruised this morning?”

“Am I ever! But it was worth it.”

How intriguing. What kind of games was Kat playing?

Kat stretched out her arm, the tattooed one. Anna drank it in.

She was going to hopefully wear something similar on Saturday night.

Sean felt good as she walked to work at the bookstore. Every morning since Tuesday, she and Anna had sneaked over to the Venn machines at the mall before she started her job. Sean would change Anna to look like a different person so she could go check out her friend Kat. And Anna would change Sean from a male to a female.

She was getting better at it. Sean still felt a little too tall, and her hair a little too long, but she was mostly very happy with her female form. And Anna had also changed her clothing from her usual uniform of jeans and T-shirts to a pair of satin-look black leggings and a red singlet. Better still, she’d got Sean’s makeup right - heavy underliner, blood red lipstick.

By now her fellow workers were used to Sean going to work as a girl, and all she got when she walked in were friendly waves and good mornings.

Evie was seated behind the cash register. “Hey, Sean. Oh! I like your leggings! Where did you get them?”

“Uh, they were kind of custom made,” she mumbled, making Evie laugh.

“By which I guess you mean you got them from a Venn machine,” she teased.

“You got me.”

“So I guess I’m going to have to get Venned if I want a pair.”

“Oh, you Venn?”

Evie grinned and lowered her voice. “I spent last weekend as a cat. It was freakin’ incredible. The only thing is, now all I want to eat is tuna sandwiches and sushi.”

“You realise that’s not from the Venn machines, right?”

“Ha! Hey, you and me should go shopping sometime. There’s a sale at Victoria’s Secret.”

“Sure! How about today?”

“You’re on! See you later.”

Sean went to her post with a grin. Today she was just one of the girls.

*

Bella stretched out on the yoga mat. After spending most of last night as a vibrator, it felt good to move. She couldn’t help but smile as she remembered how Anna had used her. This was the second time this week she’d been Venned into something so intimate, and Anna wasn’t the only one getting off on it.

Being turned into a machine was just so damned sexy. Changing from a flesh and blood person to a thing made of mechanical parts was almost as good as being a dress. And if that thing happened to run on batteries or electricity, so much the better. Idly she considered other things she could become. An old-fashioned watch came into her head. How would it feel to be round, packed with gears? How would it feel to have Anna wind her up?

Fuck. The rest of the yoga class was onto another move. She quickly tried to copy them. Harper, the class instructor, was smiling at her. Bella blushed.

No more daydreaming for you, she told herself.

But being a watch sounded hot.

*

“How would I look in this?”

Evie held up a pink and black corset on her body.

“That would be so lovely on you! How about this on me?”

Sean’s choice was a black halter-neck babydoll.

“That just screams to your boyfriend ‘tonight you’re getting some’,” Evie laughed.

“Uh, girlfriend.”

“Girlfirend, sorry. Seriously, you should get that.” Evie turned back to the lingerie display. “You want to check out stockings?”

“Actually, I want to check out panties. My friend gave me a G-string under these leggings, and they keep vanishing up my butt cheeks.”

“Ah, occupational hazards of being female,” Evie grinned. “There’s a two-for-one offer on cheekies! One for you, one for your girlfriend!”

“You don’t know Melanie. She’s definitely a jeans and bikini briefs girl. The running gag is I’m way more girlier than the one who was born a girl.”

“That just shows you’ve got good taste. C’mon, let’s try this stuff on. I need you to tell me if I look fat in this corset.”

Sean was semi-naked in the change rooms when her phone beeped. There was a text message from her girlfriend.

“Hey sweetie! Ava and I have a big surprise for you when you get home tonight. I might not be around (tee hee) but please know you have my permission to do ANYTHING you want, and Ava too. This is gonna be fun! Love you! M.”

She knew immediately what she was talking about. She hadn’t mentioned her condom fantasy for a couple of days and Sean had assumed she had forgotten all about it. Apparently not.

Well. Tonight was going to be awkward.

And exciting.

And awkward.

*

She was shaking again. Damned caffeine. Once more Anna cursed herself for forgetting to order decaf. She hadn’t been getting much sleep this week.

Of course, the coffee wasn’t the only thing to blame for that. She flashed onto the vision of Bella, being slim, thin, pink and … buzzing …

She really ought to get out of here.

Anna nibbled the last bit of toast, clicking her tongue stud against her teeth as she did so. Was this thing supposed to be sexy? It didn’t do much for her. Well, it was all where you used it, she supposed …

She paid Kat, who smiled politely at her, not realising this was her friend from the fetish club, and she left.

As she did, she caught sight of a new notice in the window.

“KAT’S BARISTA COURSE! Love our coffee??? Learn how to make it! Starting soon!”

Hmmm …

*

Session over, Bella rolled up her mat and headed out. Unlike most of the other women - and it was pretty much all women - doing yoga this morning, she didn’t have a slick mat bag, and her shorts and old Fugazi T-shirt stood out among all the tight Lululemon spandex.

“Uh, Bella? Hold up a minute.”

It was Harper, the yoga instructor, who was bearing down on her, holding out a CD.

“It’s that Beats Antique record you were asking about the other day. I realised I had two copies of it, so I thought you might as well have one,” she explained.
“Oh, thanks,” Bella mumbled. “Yeah, I think my girlfriend will really like it.”

“Sure, let me know what you guys think of it. I’d be interested to know. We should have coffee after a session some day … maybe tomorrow?”

“Uh, yeah, that’d be fine.”

The other women in the room streamed past them.

“Great!” smiled Harper. “See you then. I gotta pack up now, I’m teaching another class over in Belmore in an hour, believe it or not. Busy times!”

“They sure are.”

Hmmm …


*

Sean was chatting with Finn, one of his co-workers, when she changed back to a he. The effect was instantaneous, and she’d been so caught up in her conversation that the change didn’t register until he saw Finn’s double-take.

“Now that’s a quick change!” Finn joked.

“Yeah, I guess this is what Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson had in the Batcave,” Sean said. Off Finn’s slightly puzzled look, he explained: “The old Batman TV show? You know how they’d slide down a pole in civilian clothes and land as Batman and Robin?”

“I’m sure I’ve seen it at some point,” Finn said diplomatically.

Sean picked at his jeans and T-shirt ensemble. Thank God the G-string was gone.

“So what are you doing on the weekend?” Finn said, picking up their conversation again.

“Saturday I’m going to the Lounge with my girlfriend and our friends.”

“Oh, I’m going too. I might see you there!”

“Maybe,” Sean said. Although, since he was hoping to be a dress, he almost certainly wouldn’t be seeing Finn.

He checked the time. Just an hour until he clocked off. And then …

Well, something was going to happen.

*

Surprisingly, Ava found she wasn’t having second thoughts about this whole crazy scheme as she and Melanie walked to the mall. Would it be awkward? Probably a little. But hell, she hadn’t had sex in six months, she liked Sean and if Melanie had given her blessing …

“So what kind of condom did you want to be?” she asked Melanie, only to be answered by a frown.

“There are different types?”

“Says the straight girl. Of course there are! Plain, rippled, ribbed, coloured, even flavoured. Although I am not turning you into one of those … you really don’t know this?”

Melanie shrugged. “I’ve been on the pill since I was 16. I never had to think much about it. What do you think Sean would like?”

“Why don’t we just go for the plainest one we can find. Simple, uncomplicated. Something we don’t have to think about.”

“OK.” Melanie couldn’t restrain a giggle. This fantasy of hers was actually going to come true. She was going to enjoy this, and she thought Ava and Sean would too.

Thanks, Venn machines!

*

Anna was walking away from the Venn machines when she spotted Ava and Melanie coming her way. She panicked a little, and turned away, walking over to the mall proper. She slipped into Forever 21 and began foraging among the jeans on display.

This is nuts, she thought. Why am I avoiding my friends? I don’t need to feel guilty. I’ve done nothing wrong!

She walked back out of the store - and straight into Bella.

“Hey, babe! Fancy meeting you here!” her girlfriend grinned.

“Bella! What are you doing here?” Anna blurted.

“I was just going to check out some yoga gear. Wanna come help me out?”

“Sure, honey. Maybe we could see a movie later?”

“Sounds like a plan. And maybe after that … a late night visit to the Venn machines?”

“What did you have in mind?”

“You ever see an old-fashioned fob watch?”

*

“Melanie?”

Sean walked into the apartment, dumped his backpack and coat, and wandered into the living room.

“Sean.”

Ava sat on the sofa, in a short black dress that showed off her legs. Her black hair was slicked back in a semi-quiff, in a style Sean found very attractive.

“I’m just having some wine,” Ava said, indicating the bottle and glasses on the coffee table. “Want to join me?”

“Sure, sounds good.” Sean slid onto the sofa, keeping a little distance between himself and Ava. “So, Melanie’s not around.”

Ava snorted a laugh. “If by ‘around’ you mean ‘a round object’, then yes.”

She picked up the bottle and poured Sean a glass.

“She did it?”

“Uh-huh. Well, I guess technically ‘we did it’, since I was the one that changed her.”

Sean took a long sip.

“Sean, can I ask you something?”

“Sure, Ava.”

“You’re into this scheme of Melanie’s?”

“Into it?” He thought. “It’s not something I would have come up with, but … I mean, I want to make her happy.”

“And me?” Ava said softly.

“I guess … I guess I want to make you happy too.”

The pair stared at each other for a few seconds, then for some reason, they both started giggling.

“She really wants to …”

“I know …”

“Oh God … this is awkward …”

“I know.”

“Ava, if you don’t want to do this …”

“But that’s just the problem. I do want to do this.”

Melanie’s message flashed into Sean’s head. Permission to do anything you want.

“I don’t … I mean … I’m not in love with you, Ava, you know that?”

“I’m not in love with you, Sean. But I’m not gonna lie, I find you very attractive.”

“Ah, well, I find you attractive too. I don’t know who wouldn’t.”

“So?”

“So.”

Somehow they’d moved closer together.

Sean leaned over Ava. She thought the first thing he’d do was go for her boobs, but he surprised her by nibbling behind her ear.

God, she loved that.

What the hell were they doing?

Who cared when it felt this good?

He caressed her, and gently stroked her hair. He smiled at her, and she smiled back.

She really liked him.

She’d told herself there would be no kissing, let alone tongues.

Well, there you were. Another thing she was wrong about.

*

At some point the dress and the jeans had come off, and Ava suggested they should take it to her bedroom.

The room was softly lit, with a few candles burning. Sean surprised her again by unfastening her bra with a swift, sure motion.

“I guess you’ve had experience in doing that.”

“I’ve practiced a lot on myself.”

She giggled, then she pulled his T-shirt over his head.

“Tell me, how does a geek like you keep in shape?”

“Uh, I surf a lot. I lift weights most mornings.”

“Well, I approve.”

“Good. So does Melanie.”

“Oh, speaking of whom …”

Ava, laid out on the bed, reached over to her bedside table. She held up a small foil packet. And she grinned.

“Guess who?”

Sean gazed at it. She was …

“That’s right. Your girlfriend. My best friend. Crazy girl with blonde hair? Well, not any more. Tonight she’s this. Just an object to be used. Just like she wants.”

Ava handed the packet to Sean.

“So why don’t you use her?”

He took it gingerly. He kneeled on the bed.

“Let me help you.”

And Ava helped remove his briefs.

“Put her on. It’s what she asked for.”

God, he couldn’t be more turned on.

Carefully Sean ripped the packet open and removed the rubber object inside.

He rolled it on, so carefully.

This was really the woman he was cuddling just last night.

Now he was cuddling her best friend.

Funny, that.

Ava hooked her fingers into her panties, pulling them down her long legs.
They embraced, and Sean kissed Ava’s small breasts.

“Shall we give her what she wants?”

Ava leaned down and kissed Melanie.

Then she laid back, smiling, welcoming.

And Sean was welcomed.

*
“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

“Do you think Mel enjoyed that?”

“I know I did.”

“Me too.”

“Well, then …”

“So, uh, what do you think we should do with her now?”

“Tie her off and just leave her on the floor. She’ll turn back at some point during the night.”

“Oh, okay. And then …”

“Oh, Sean, Sean … you have other condoms, right?”

Sean grinned.

“I’ll go get them.”


*

They weren’t sure when it happened.

All they knew it was before the dawn, and by the candle light they saw Melanie standing at the foot of the bed.

Staring at the couple who’d just woken up.

Staring and smiling.

Ava opened her arms, followed a second later by Sean.

Melanie jumped between them, to be met by kisses from them both.

*

Sean woke up with sunlight streaming through the window. He was naked and he had his arms around his girlfriend. Then he became aware of the other pair of arms circling his waist, and the other body snuggled behind him.

So it wasn’t some marvellous dream. It was real.

Melanie stirred, with a big grin on her face. “Morning, lover. Or should I say … lovers?”

Ava peered over Sean’s shoulder. “Hey there, missy. Was being a condom everything you wanted?”

“Being an object … being on him … being in you … I have no words.”

Sean smiled. “Did Mel just say she has no words?”

“Yeah, that’s a first. Who are you, and what have you done with the real Melanie?”

“Seriously, guys, it was incredible. Amazing. Splendiferous. I can’t wait to do it again.”

“Do it again?” Sean stared. “I thought that was a one-off. I mean …”

“Yeah, Mel. We really should talk about how this would change our relationships …”

“Change our relationships?” Melanie interrupted. She pointed at herself, then the others. “It’s easy. Girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend. I don’t see anything changed, do you?” She broke into a grin. “Seriously, guys, I’m not jealous. So, unless either of you regret last night …”

Sean and Ava exchanged looks.

“I don’t regret a thing.”

“One of the best nights of my life.”

“Particularly the part with three of us.”

“So what’s the problem?”

Ava leaned over Sean and kissed Melanie’s cheek. “When did my crazy friend from high school get so smart?”

“Maybe I’ve always been smart. Maybe you guys have been the crazy ones.”

“Uh, if we do keep this going,” Sean broke in, “do either of you have any objections if I’m female?”

Ava shrugged. “Boy-girl-girl, girl-girl-girl, boy-girl-boy, even boy-girl-inanimate object … the more the merrier, I say.”

They lay cuddled in a pile.

Sean cleared his throat. “So, it’s my day off … what’s on the agenda for today?”

“Mmm, I’m thinking long shower, breakfast at the diner across from the mall, then straight back here,” Melanie said.

“I’ve just realised something.” Ava propped herself up. “We’ve had sex with me as an inanimate object … we’ve had sex with Melanie as an inanimate object … but we haven’t had sex with Sean as an inanimate object.”

Sean gulped, as Melanie prodded him in the ribs.

“Better order a big breakfast, lover, you’re going to need some stamina.”

“I’m thinking a double-header, in translucent red?”

“Oh yeah.”

*

“They’re up early.”

Anna snuggled into Bella. They’d heard the door below them slam a few minutes before.

“Yeah, wonder where they’re going?”

“It’s Sean’s day off work.”

“How do you know?”

“Uh, he told me yesterday. We ran into each other when he was leaving. So … you hungry? Feel like some good toast and coffee?”

“Absolutely. What are you thinking?”

“You know that cafe I was telling you about? Kat’s? Want to drop in there with me before your yoga class?”

“Sounds great.”

“Okay, you want the shower first?”

“Let’s use it together … saves time.”

“And you can tell me all about how being a watch felt.”

“Not unless you want to skip breakfast.”

“Oh, you’re such a slut for being mechanical.”

“You love it.”

And funnily enough, Anna did.
