Jimmy walked into his best friend, Tommy's, room and saw him lying in bed again, with the remote control. Tommy'd been sick longer than usual this time, and as far as Jimmy knew, they still didn't know what was wrong with him.
"Hey," Tommy said once he saw his friend.
Jimmy noticed that Tommy had pulled the blankets up higher than normal, and wondered about it. It wasn't cold in the room at all. Then he was momentarily taken aback; Tommy had been letting his hair grow and for the briefest of moments, Tommy looked like a very pretty girl.
Having Tommy as his best friend for these last years had been a little difficult for Jimmy. Mostly their friendship was natural because their mothers were very close. The two boys had known for some time that Jimmy's mother Janie, and Tommy's mother Holly, were lovers. That, and living next door to each other since forever, made them natural friends; even though Tommy seemed a little ... girly at times.
Jimmy had even 'dated' Tommy's older sister Tina. If you call getting together for a clandestine ass-fuck behind the pool shed, dating. Three years ago, Tommy, Jimmy and Tina had been really good friends despite the fact that Tina had been two years older than the boys.
One thing led to another, and a game of 'doctor' got really interesting. Jimmy ended up with his little cock up Tina's pretty ass, while Tommy caressed her breasts. Later it became just Tina and Jimmy, and just before she was sent away to that school, Tina and he had actually fucked! She said she loved him, and didn't want to go to that school.
Tina was gone for two very long years. Jimmy got no letters or phone calls. He felt that she'd forgotten him and it broke his young heart. As a result, the remaining two friends got closer, and Jimmy'd found that he wanted to take Tommy in his arms as well, but everyone said that was gay.
The feelings only got stronger for Jimmy, and as Tommy got sicker, Jimmy began to worry that he was going to lose the person he loved again.
Jimmy sat on the bed. "Hey. What's with the blanket? You cold or something?"
Tommy bit his lower lip. "I've gotta tell you some stuff that you might freak out about."
"Dude, you're scarin' me," Jimmy said sarcastically. "You know I don't freak easily."
"Well ... they figured out what's wrong with me; why I've been getting sick," Tommy's soft voice said.
"Really? Cool! Maybe now they can get you feeling better!" Jimmy said.
"Well, they're still thinking about that. But, this is going to change things ... things between us. I'm afraid you'll think I'm a freak."
"I'm your best friend, Tommy! It can't happen." Jimmy said bravely. He noticed that his friend had winced when Jimmy said his name.
After a deep sigh, the invalid pushed the blankets down her body to her waist. She was wearing a night gown, and the paired lumps of semi-largish breasts were obvious on her chest. "There's some stuff I've been hiding from you. Turns out I can't hide it anymore."
Jimmy just sat there with a strange look on his face. He seemed to be staring at the breasts. Suddenly he shook his head like he'd realized he'd been staring, and rose from the bed to think. Tommy was a girl? But ... Jimmy'd seen his dick! Played with it when they were younger. How could he suddenly be a she?
"How ... I've seen your dick, touched it. How can you be a girl all of a sudden? Did those doctors do something to you?" Jimmy asked even though he'd never heard of someone being accidentally turned into a girl before.
"No, I was born this way. I do have a dick, but it's small and isn't developing anymore. I should have told you back when these started growing," she indicated her chest. "But the doctors said it just could have been in response to a surge of either estrogen or testosterone in my system. It wasn't, my body has finally figured out what it wants to be; a girl," she said fearfully watching Jimmy. "Still not freaking? Are we still best friends?"
Jimmy was thinking a hundred miles an hour, but it always came back to how he felt for his friend. "Yeah, we are ... On one condition."
The girl looked a little panicked. "What?"
"You let me do something I've wanted to do to you for years." Jimmy said as he walked over, knelt on the bed, and kissed his friend on the lips.
Hesitantly, Tommy put her hand around her friend's head to hold him closer and so he wouldn't break the kiss she'd been wanting too.
Someone clearing their throat at the door made them part quickly. A smiling Holly was standing there. "Well, I see that you've figured out your new relationship. You both know, don't you, that you're in for a really hard time with the other kids and a lot of the adults?"
Jimmy shrugged. "I don't really care. How do you and Mom deal with it?"
Holly blushed brightly. "Deal with what?"
"Denial is not just a river in Egypt," the former Tommy said, chuckling.
Holly gave her new daughter a playfully dirty look. "Paybacks are a bitch, little girl! Now, I need your signature on these forms and then you can legally start using your new name."
"New name?" Jimmy asked, looking back at his friend.
The girl shrugged. "I'm a girl now and need a girl's name. So, I'm Tammy," she replied as she signed the forms for Holly and handed them back. "Has the insurance company called yet?"
Holly shook her head sadly. "That's not the way it works, sweetheart. You have to call them, not the other way around. Although the last response I got from those pricks makes me want to hire a lawyer and sue them for every penny I can."
"What do you mean? What'd they say?" Jimmy asked.
"Well, Tammy needs to have a partial reassignment surgery, or her condition will eventually kill her. But our insurance flatly refuses to pay for it because they consider sexual reassignment surgery as 'elective' by their guidelines. The little fact that it's a life and death situation is irrelevant to them. The asshole I spoke to last time told me that they were a good, Christian, god-fearing company that didn't deal with sick perverts."
"So ... does that mean that Tom ... uh, Tammy's not going to get better?" Jimmy asked.
"Not yet, honey, sorry. I'm still fighting them, but you know the saying; no one wins against the insurance companies. But, we'll keep trying, and figure something out," Holly said bravely as she left the two alone.
"So ... I guess you're not too freaked over the whole me being a girl thing then?" Tammy asked.
Jimmy shrugged. "Not really, more confused than anything. I mean, do you remember how you, I and Tina used to be before she went away?"
"That was mostly the two of you, but yeah I do. She has some really nice tits," Tammy said grinning.
"Lesbian!" Jimmy said teasingly.
Tammy stuck her tongue out, "Nope, I like at least one boy! Besides, Tina doesn't count anymore."
"Dope! Anyway, I think I kinda, you know, started likin' you both back then. A lot. But anyway, you saw how she acted when she got back. Then when you got sick, I was worried I'd lose you too," Jimmy explained. He snorted, "Still might if we can't get you that operation. What's that for anyway? I mean, you're a girl, right?"
Tammy nodded. "I've got all the girl parts except a vagina. I have a penis and what was supposed to be testicles in place of it. I don't have a prostrate like other boys. I have ovaries, and a uterus, just no pussy. They need to remove the boy stuff, so I can be a girl."
"But what about the other stuff, like, you know, the clitoris, and vulva and stuff?" Jimmy asked.
Tammy shrugged. "I have a clit, it's in there somewhere. The doctor touched it, and I about pissed myself right there. Anyway, since I have ovaries, and a uterus, I've been having my period. That's what's been making me sick."
"Well, you have to get better, otherwise, how am I supposed to take you out on dates?" Jimmy asked smiling at his friend. Tammy grinned back.
