comes from the girl's department-I guess I'm smaller than most boys."

"I bet you looked fantastic. I bet nobody would ever guess you were a boy!" Jeff said enthusiastically.

"Well, you're kind of right," Tani chuckled.

"Gee, you know what would be real fun. You should dress up and let me take you out to dinner some time. A friend of my dad's owns Fredrico's, this fancy restaurant. He's always playing like he was the original ladykiller. I've had him try and put the make on some of my dates there! It would be funny to play a trick on him and see if he makes a play for you.'

Tani thought, but only for a second, "Sure, you buy dinner and I'll provide the entertainment."

"Really? You'd do that? How about next Saturday?" Jeff continued. Tani realized that he had better not sound too anxious.

"Next week?! Gee, I don't know if I could get any girl's clothes to wear by then."

"Oh...hmmm, I guess your mother's won't fit?”

"No, she bigger than me!" Tani laughed, "And besides, her tastes are more in line with her age, a little too old for me, don't you think?" Tani took out a tube and put a bit of salve on his lips.

"Oh well, I guess some other time then," Jeff said dejectedly and a little crushed. "I guess it's a little to much to ask."

Hold on, Tani thought to himself, enough of the playing 'hard to get'. With a teasing smile, Tani said, "Hey, I just thought of something. My cousin Katie lives in close. She's about the same size as me and the same age. I bet I could borrow something of her stuff!"

"Alright! Then next Saturday night it is!" Jeff exclaimed with excitement.

Tani making sure they were both on the same wave-length, asked, "Gee. Do you think I should borrow a pants outfit or maybe a dress?"

Jeff hadn't given it much thought but sputtered, "A DRESS. . .I mean it is dressy. I hope that isn't too much to ask?"

Tani smiled, "Okay, a dressy dress it is. Short or long?" "Short," Jeff said without thinking.

Jeff seemed very elated by this new development. Tani couldn't remember when he had ever seen him so animated.

MY SON, THE BRIDE 11

They had a good time over dinner, Jeff paid willingly and finally Jeff drove Tani home. That night Tani lay in bed thinking.

He was actually more excited about dressing up for his "date" next week than he could remember in a long time. Why was that he wondered?!?

Chapter XIII

Chris sat in the waiting room of Dr. Joanne Schnieder's clinic. His mother said that she was highly regarded in the cosmetic surgery community. What she hadn't told Chris, was that after extensive research she was directed to Dr. Schnieder. Her investigations discovered that Dr. Schneider had quite some experience in breast implants and the like.. .patient's gender was no object!

Chris noticed a three-ring binder amongst the usual magazines piled on a small table in the waiting room. Out of curiosity he picked it up and flipped it open. He was shocked to find that it was obviously a photo album of some of the Dr.'s clients. What shocked him further were the first few pages.

They showed several of the doctor's patients in 'before and after' shots. The patients stood before a white backdrop, naked from the waist up. Chris felt his insides do a nervous flip-flop. The patients were very flat-chested in the "before" shots, but in the "after" pictures they each displayed beautiful, full, feminine breasts. Because all of them had longer hair, Chris couldn't tell for sure, but he thought they looked like they could be males!

"Oh, I see you've found my 'Happy Patient' book, a feminine voice said startling Chris, "they're happy to show off, and it helps new patients to see what can be accomplished." Chris looked at the very attractive woman wearing a white doctor's coat standing in the doorway.

"You must be Chris? I'm Dr. Schnieder."

"Hello, Dr. Schneider. Yes, I'm Chris," Chris responded, but his eyes kept looking back to the photos. The doctor had had a long chat with Chris's mother when she stopped by to make his appointment. Chris wasn't aware of it, but the doctor knew all about Chris and Christine. Mrs. Thompson had even brought along her "special photo album' and discussed Chris's secret desires.
