"What do you mean daddy?” Debby asked quickly.

"Simply that Gene will not become Gene again until you are both graduated, but stay as Jennifer. You'll be together all the time. I hope that by that time you'll get tired of each other and find someone else instead of marrying."

I was shocked speechless but Debby fired the questions at him. "Why is this necessary, when you know? We only dressed him as a girl to fool you. That sounds like a ridiculous decision."

"I'm not through yet!" he warned. “I'll pay both of your tuitions, your reasonable expenses and supply you with your own car. If you both stick out the bargain, I'll keep mine and let you marry when you graduate if you still want to. If you don't accept it, I'll do all I can to cause your marriage to fail, and that's a lot. I'll completely cut you and your heirs out of my will.”

"What if someone gets wise to the fact that he isn't a girl at college?”

He smiled.

"I'll take care of that. I'll aid your little deception with some of my own wrinkles. We'll cross that bridge a little later. How about it, Jennifer?”

I winced at the name now. “Do we have to sir? I want Debby for my own bad enough to go through with it, but it sounds like a plot to get revenge."

He answered me then: “Sure, I'm going to get a kick out of it. Both of you have pulled the wool over my eyes for several months. On top of that you have taken the most precious possession a girl has -- from my daughter, and that is her virginity. You need to suffer some. I'm going to help you complete a feminine image, which I will undo if you keep your promise. Then when you finish college and still want marriage with her and she with you. I'll give in and treat you like a son-in-law. Until then I'm going to treat you must like a girl, and that's final.”

“Don't agree to it Gene. You don't know what he's got on his mind, and I don't like the tone of his voice."

"We've got to, Debby," I answered. "We have no other choice. Without a college education, I can't supply you with what you need in life. I can't go to college, and support a wife, too."
