28-MOTHER'S NEW DAUGHTER

"They are only by prescription." He then whispered, "I could get an additional refill each month, but I'd have to go to a different pharmacy each month."

"You'd do that for me?" He smiled and nodded.

After we ate, we went to a large department store. Sidney whispered, "This is what it's about. It's fun to be able to do anything a girl can." He walked up to a perfume counter and sprayed a few of the testers on his wrist. "You can't do this."

I couldn't help notice the freedom he had. A beautiful young salesgirl came over and they chatted about the new season's colors. The girl picked out a lipstick and re-did Sidney's lips a ruby red. I could never do that. But I wasn't sure why it seemed interesting.

We walked around the store and Sidney took my arm, whispering, "Just relax! No one here knows I'm a boy." As we walked into the Juniors section filled with racks of clothes, he whispered, "Look at all these sexy little girl things. The clerks are going to pick out lots of cute dresses to make me more 'attractive"."

Sidney was nearly giddy as he flipped through the racks. As he predicted, a nice saleswoman arrived and began "suggesting" various outfits for him to try on.

"Here's two nice outfits for school," the woman suggested, as she held up a blue low-cut dress and a diaphanous flower print dress.

Sidney egged me on, "What do you think of those dresses for school?"

I almost laughed aloud. "Yes, I think you should wear the low cut one on Monday."

Like a kid in a candy shop, Sidney ran off and tried on dress after dress. I liked the electric blue dress with a denim jacket over it. The clerk even ran over to the shoe department to get matching high-heel denim sandals.

I stared at my feminized buddy in amazement as he modeled each outfit.

In the end, he bought a pretty navy blue suit with a short form fitting skirt. To go with the femininely cut jacket, he bought a white blouse that was so sheer his slip and bra straps showed elegantly through. He also bought navy

high heeled pumps that made him appear taller and older. He looked like one of those sassy executive secretaries that work for the legal firms. I tried to see some boyishness in him--any lingering mannerism that might give a clue as to his real sex. There was none.

Sidney looked totally comfortable trying on dresses that showed off his girlish legs and figure. He blushed when a beautiful young salesgirl raved over his girlish appearance and ran her hand down his dress.

"It's really not so bad being a girl," he whispered. "I get to be around a lot of beautiful girls."

"Yeah, but girls who are helping you get what girl's want! Male attention."

"Being pretty isn't about guys ogling you. It's about being feminine. Com' on, I'll show you. Let's go to the lingerie department.

"I can't go in there!"

"Sure you can----you're with me. I can go anywhere!" A lot of girls were milling around, I felt like a deviate being in the their underwear department.

"Take a breath," Sidney whispered, "It's okay. I'm just going to get a few things I need and have some fun."

I was standing next to a boy wearing a bra and panties and a slip like all these girls. My face was red as Sidney giggled, and held up a panty/bra set. "Why these are like the ones I'm wearing. I want to see if it comes in cranberry. The soft silky fabric in Sidney's hands scared me. As a boy I wasn't supposed to see, touch or understand these garments, but Sidney proudly snatched up a few bras and a pink shorty negligee. I slumbered behind him as he swished up to the counter. I was embarrassed as he asked, "Did you get any of these sets in cranberry yet? I have a little flowered sundress that they'd be perfect for."

Without missing a beat, the clerk replied, "I think I have some in back. 34B with padded cups, right?"

In a few minutes she returned with several sets in fruity colors. There were several pink boxes with big white ribbons filled with an array of "dainty" lingerie. On top were several brassieres. Lacy, silky, ruffly, pretty, padded brassieres made just for young girls! Sidney dove into the box and swooned, "These are delectable!"

While the lady ran off for more, I whispered, "I can't
