Part 1

The Morris family arrived at the reception area of Dr.Zaaijer office. Dr. Zaaijer is a family therapist according to the plaque above the door and a very good one according to his reputation. Mrs. Alisa Morris, age thirty-six, suggested that her family come to the doctor. She is afraid that her husband Jack Morris, age thirty-eight and her daughter Michaelina, age thirteen weren't getting along. Alisa was the chief breadwinner for the family ever since Jack stopped working due to an 'accident' at work. Since then Jack became a stay at home dad to his step-daughter Mikie. Alisa had always earned more money than Jack anyway so it wasn't much of a problem.

The three waited in Dr. Zaaijer outer office waiting for their appointment. Mikie didn't want to be there and so she had a bored look on her face. She knew there were problems but she didn't really want to talk about them.

Jack on the other hand didn't see a problem at all. True staying at home all the time could be boring sometimes and Mikie could be a brat but that wasn't any reason to see a therapist. He would rather be home with a beer in his hand watching something on TV or just fooling around with his computer. In many ways that 'accident' at work had been the best thing to ever happen to Jack. From then on he didn't have to go to work anymore. He wasn't making as much money on disability as he was working full time, but staying home was better than going to work anyway you looked at it....or so Jack thought.

The three waited for their appointment with Dr. Zaaijer. None of the three had anyway of knowing that the man there were about to see although he called himself Dr. Zaaijer wasn't really a therapist. He wasn't even a doctor. Actually even though there was a man called Dr. Zaaijer this man wasn't him. He had come into the real Dr. Zaaijer office one day and send the man away using his hypnotic abilities. From then on, this strange man was known to everyone as Dr. Zaaijer, Family Therapist. The real Dr. Zaaijer now lives an entirely different type of life than he had before meeting this stranger. But that is a different story.

Jack, Alisa and Michaelina entered Dr. Zaaijer office. Jack and Alisa took the closest seats to the doctor and Mikie took a seat behind. Mikie didn't want to be there the most. She had a lot to say, but she didn't want to say anything. She had been telling her mother for months about what had been going on at the house with her and her dad, but Alisa didn't really believe her. Alisa really wouldn't let herself believe the truth. But Alisa knew there was something wrong and so she arranged this meeting.

"So what can I do for you nice people?" Dr. Zaaijer said with a broad smile.

"My husband and my daughter aren't getting along. I think a little family therapy could help us." Alisa piped up. Alisa was a pretty young woman in her mid-thirties. She was five-foot five, 130 pounds and a creamy complexion with an infectious smile. She wore a tan business suit as she had taken the morning off from her job to attend this session.

Alisa explained that since Jack had become a stay at home dad to her daughter that there had been some tensions in the house and that she thought that some family therapy would help them. Jack and Mikie remained silent while Alisa explained the situation as she saw it.

Dr. Zaaijer kept an impassive face while looking at the family. He wasn't really concerned with what the problems were, but there was something about this family that Dr. Zaaijer could use to satisfy his sick needs. Dr. Zaaijer could make some changes to this family. They would be clay in his hands and he would mold them to his liking. He particularly liked Jack and Mikie. He could do some amazing things with them. He wasn't sure exactly what at this time, but after talking to everyone privately he would think of something.

Dr. Zaaijer suggested that he meet with everyone privately one at a time. Alisa was the first to speak with Dr. Zaaijer but Dr. Zaaijer wasn't interested in her. He used his influence to make sure that for the upcoming sessions Alisa wouldn't be attending. She would think that it was because she didn't have the time as the chief breadwinner. If Dr. Zaaijer wanted Alisa to attend for whatever reason he could just call her, but for now, it would be just Jack and Mikie.

Jack was the next to speak privately with Dr. Zaaijer. Jack didn't have much to say. Jack was a slight man who was only five-foot seven and 160 pounds. He had a weak chin and along with his personality. His hair was short and still brown, he wore a loose fitting blue button down shirt and jeans. He wasn't particularly muscular, but more importantly to Dr. Zaaijer was that even at 9 AM, Dr. Zaaijer could smell alcohol on Jack's breath. To Dr. Zaaijer Jack was what Arnold Schwarzenegger would call a 'girlie man.' This gave Dr. Zaaijer an idea. Dr. Zaaijer knew that Jack was an alcoholic. Alisa refused to see this fact and Mikie had to live in the house with an alcoholic father. This was the big problem and a caring therapist would address it. But that wasn't the type of person Dr. Zaaijer was.

Dr. Zaaijer asked Jack to tell him about himself.

"Well, let's see I'm a husband and father. I try my best to be both. I think I am doing a great job." Jack was deluding himself. He believed these things but they weren't true. He went on to justify his life describing himself in the best possible terms. Nothing was his fault particularly all the problems he was having with Mikie who he said could be a 'brat' at times. Anyone could see he was a failure in everything he did and that in reality he was a small shiftless man who thought that world owned him everything and that nothing was ever his fault.

Mikie was the next to speak with Dr. Zaaijer. Mikie was a pretty girl with wavy brown hair that fell to just below her small breasts. She was five foot four and weighed about 140 pounds. She wore a floral shirt that was mostly blue with button's down the front and short capped sleeves. She had an athletic body which she must have received from her natural father. She had small but developing breasts and still a mostly androgynous figure due to her age. She wore of hint on makeup on her eyes and her lips. Despite her makeup, her face showed her real age of about thirteen or fourteen. She was in fact thirteen now but would turn fourteen in a couple weeks.

"Tell me about yourself," Dr. Zaaijer asked.

"I don't know what to say."

"Start with school."

"Well today was the second- last day of year eight at Faith Lutheran High School. So I don't know why you want to know about that. School is about to end for the summer. " (Dr. Zaaijer and the family lived in New Zealand, so despite it being late November summer break was coming up.)

"Well tell me about how you feel about that then."

"I don't want to sound like a dork but I reckon my school is great." her face brightened for a second. "But it seems like everyone is leaving for the summer like Courtney, Georgia, ,Jaymi my best mates. Not to mention one of my very best friends Ellen."

"How does that make you feel?"

"Of course being me, I have already organized a surprise going away party for this weekend. I can't wait to see her face.."

"You like organizing things?"

I guess so, well I am in Leadership at school. Today was leadership day you know."

"No, what is that?"

"Leadership day is basically when they round up all the future leaders for year 9 and make us play team building games for 4 hours...My theory is, boys only sign up to be captains for the free food." Mikie snickered a little bit. "And who could blame them? Anyway, I was made to hold countless boys hands. Between you an me, some of which I didn't mind. One boy in particular was, ummm, I don't want to tell you his name," Mikie then made air quotes and said "AKA, the heartthrob of my grade. All girls were looking on at me with jealously and admiration, I couldn't help but notice how sweaty his hands were. As he was squeezing my hand deathly tight.

"You think he liked you?"

God knows why But, I was more concerned in getting the large green hula hoop over my head. Seriously, who invents these games?"

"Sounds like fun."

"Another thing I noticed today that when we are all having group chats, Jason doesn't really care about what I have to say." Mikie continued ignoring Dr. Zaaijer questions. "It was a mutual breakup, and you would think after all of those months of being obsessed with me that he would at least want to make the effort to be friends." Then after a moment of thought Mikie said "What do I care, I have moved on to better things, right?"

After talking to Mikie for a while even though Mikie was more talkative than Jack, Mikie avoided the facts of the problem. She didn't mention Jack's obvious drinking problem or actual problems in her home, instead focusing on the 'good 'things or the things that didn't matter too much.

Despite both Jack and Mikie not wanting to continue the sessions, Dr. Zaaijer arranged for both Jack and Mikie to meet at his office for another appointment soon. Alisa would not be at the next session.

The next session came in short order. Mikie was ushered into Dr. Zaaijer's office. All was planned ahead of time such that Jack was left alone in the reception area. Dr. Zaaijer's receptionist, Janice was exceedingly loyal to Dr. Zaaijer. Janice was hire after Dr. Zaaijer had finished with Dr. Zaaijer's original receptionist. Back in those days, Dr. Zaaijer wasn't as sure of his technique as he is today. He couldn't do a complete personality and physical transformation as he could today. Jack and Mikie would be his first to do a complete 'swap.' But back then Dr. Zaaijer was still performing baby steps. He had to make relatively small changes that were rooted in the old personalities of his victims. Dr. Zaaijer former receptionist, his first victim since taking over as Dr. Zaaijer. She was actually his second victim ever, Dr. Zaaijer himself was his first victim. Regardless, Dr. Zaaijer's former receptionist, the new Dr. Zaaijer couldn't remember was her name had been was now a high class hooker. Dr. Zaaijer got her to believe that prostitute was just another type of receptionist, except now she would receiving a man's penis into the folds of her hands, her mouth and her pussy. It paid much more than being a 'conventional receptionist' and she could set her own hours. To her it was a step up. The number of well paid hookers grew in New Zealand's bigger cities. Most of the increase had been Dr. Zaaijer's former patients.

It wasn't unusual for her to change her name once entering her new profession. She also moved to a bigger city where she could make more money. Her friends and family wondered what had happened to her, but they never found her. There weren't signs of fowl play she simply went missing.

Once the former receptionist was gone, Dr. Zaaijer hired a new receptionist. He wanted a person in which this would be her first real job. He wanted a person who needed this job tremendously. When he found the perfect person. A person who was predisposed being loyal to him, he used his influence on her to make her obsessively loyal to him. Janice would do anything that Dr. Zaaijer said. Of all Dr. Zaaijer's victims, Janice had gotten off lightly. True she no longer had any ethics when it came to Dr. Zaaijer's demands but the rest of her life seemed perfectly normal. This is what Dr. Zaaijer wanted. He even paid her well.

When Mikie disappeared into Dr. Zaaijer's office, Janice offered Jack a drink. Jack turned Janice down until he found out the drink she was talking about was a beer. At that point, Jack readily accepted. He didn't know the hypnotics that were contained in the drink. Dr. Zaaijer would be able to manipulate Jack very easily by the time it was his turn to enter Dr. Zaaijer's office for their private session.

Dr. Zaaijer joined Mikie in his office.

"How are you today?" Dr. Zaaijer said.

"Fine," Mikie said matter of factly.

"Just fine, yeah what do you want me to say?"

Trying to get Mikie to open up and talk, Dr. Zaaijer asked, "How was the party?"

"I don't know why I had any doubts. The party was a success and the look on Ellen's face said it all.

"The feeling of knowing I did something nice like that for a friend was more satisfying than receiving a million shoes."

"Sounds like you had a really good time."

"The only way to describe the party was majestic. From the beginning to the end I can easily say it was one of my best memories that I'll keep with me forever.

"It's funny how your expectations of something a nothing like the reality. Sometimes they are better and sometimes worse if there's something I can take away from my recent experiences it would be that you can't choose all of your future, only some you have to go with the flow and not mess with the balance of things." Mikie said eagerly.

Now that the ice was broken, Dr. Zaaijer suggested that Mikie make a list of all the things she is thankful for.

"Well let's see...Since the summer is coming up I guess, best group of friends ever, bikini bod, pool, beach, shorts, ice-cream, great photo ops, great new friends, Christmas and my birthday."

Dr. Zaaijer wanted to ask about Mikie's 'Bikini bod' but didn't want to come off as some sort of creep. Mikie wasn't under any hypnotic manipulation at this time and even though how Mikie felt about herself was important to Dr. Zaaijer he couldn't be so forward yet. There was plenty of time for that at a latter session. After all, Mikie had just turned fourteen, she didn't have many real assets to show off, but yet she thought she had a 'bikini bod' as she called it.

Dr. Zaaijer also took note of 'great photo ops.' Dr. Zaaijer was happy at even at fourteen Mikie was happy with her body. Dr. Zaaijer would explore her feelings about it later. He would want the new Mikie to feel the same way after Dr. Zaaijer was done with her.

"Wow that is great. Now what are you not so thankful about?"

For a few seconds, Mikie thought about it, then she said, "My dad...my dad...my dad...Ellen leaving...little money...my dad."

"There seems to be a theme there."

"Well I can tell you about it."

"Do tell that is why you are here."

"Well, my father needs a job, a hobby, SOMETHING.

"He makes such a song and dance about mealtimes that I'm contemplating never eating again."

"Really???"

"You know, that is a HUGE thing to say for me, lets just say I enjoy my food. I know that its all he's got but why doesn't he engage in some house work rather than pile it on me. I'm supposed to be doing school work, remember? I suppose education doesn't really matter to him I mean, you don't have to get A's to be an alcoholic.

"Maybe I would respect him more if he got up and did something about the rut he is in. Instead of diving in deeper with a bottle of Jacob's Creek."

"You think your father's an alcoholic?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Tell me about it." Mikie went on to tell how her life has been living with an alcoholic. How it was bad before his 'accident' at work and how it had gotten worse ever since that time. She also told Dr. Zaaijer how her mom doesn't believe her when she tells her how bad it is. How her mother has blinders on when it comes to dad.

Dr. Zaaijer pointed out how it was Mom's idea to take Mikie and Dad to these sessions.

"But mom thinks that it is also my fault. Not that Dad is a fuckin alcoholic."

Dr. Zaaijer decided to go slow with Mikie. He knew it would be easier to make the mental and emotional changes in Mikie that he wanted to since she was still young. It would be easy to manipulate her from scared girl to strong man, since in her heart she wanted to be strong. The man part would come later. Mikie had an idea of how she wanted her father to act. Dr. Zaaijer would see to it, that she would become the ideal father she wanted for herself. Since this was already internally in her mind, Dr. Zaaijer knew how to make her into her own ideal father.

Jack on the other hand obviously would never want to be a girl. It was true (or so Dr. Zaaijer thought) that Jack was a weak person. He was a person who needed the guidance of a strong hand. But even though he needed that, Jack probably didn't want that. He wanted to be a man, not an little emotional girl. But it didn't matter what Jack wanted, in the end he would be an emotional girl. He would become a girl like Mikie except he would be even more feminine that she is. Not only that, but more emotional and dependent on the people around her. Jack would be a girl who wanted to have a 'bikini bod,' a girl who liked the look of herself in pretty clothes, a girl who could laugh and cry at a drop of a hat, a girl needs to fit in with her friends, a girl who is boy crazy but not a slut. It would take time, but in the end Jack would be all these thing. But to do all these things it would take time.

After Mikie's session was done, Jack was led into Dr. Zaaijer's office. Dr. Zaaijer didn't necessarily need to use his brand of hypnosis for Jack's early sessions, but Dr. Zaaijer decided that he wanted Jack to answer all his questions honestly and the hypnosis would make him completely truthful. Also Dr. Zaaijer wanted to put in instructions into Jack's mind so that he would come to sessions for as long as Dr. Zaaijer wanted him too. Dr. Zaaijer put into Jack's mind that he was coming to these sessions just for Mikie's benefit. Jack thought that all he did was to drink beer while Mikie was in the office with Dr. Zaaijer, something that Jack would be doing if he was home alone anyway. And that Jack wasn't having any sessions himself.

During Jack's first session, Dr. Zaaijer confirmed that Jack was a complete failure as a person. Dr. Zaaijer discovered as suspected that the accident at work was Jack's fault. Jack didn't drink as heavily in those days, but he was already on the road to becoming an alcoholic. Dr. Zaaijer gave Jack an Androgyny Test and found that Jack was clearly masculine in behavior and orientation. Jack didn't want to wear women's clothing or be gay in any way and he certainly didn't want to be a woman much less a girl. Jack would be a completely different person when Dr. Zaaijer was done with him. He would in fact would be Mikie. But that would take time and planning. Dr. Zaaijer would start on Jack's next session. Dr. Zaaijer had to get into Jack's mind as he was now and know everything about him before he could use Jack's wants, needs and feelings to turn him into Mikie.

At the next session, Mikie again went into the office first. The session started the same as before. "What are you thinking about?" asked Dr. Zaaijer.

After a little encouraging Mikie said, "One of my very best friends Emily is the subject of my jealousy. She has guys falling at her feet front and center."

"She does?"

"Yes, and really who wouldn't she is the kind of person I want to be."

"How so?"

"Well she is funny, smart, talented, strikingly beautiful, caring, creative and she has the spark in her that makes you want to be around her. I guess what I'm most envious of is how she can talk to guys so easily. I can only dream of the trait. "

Mikie's response was an inspiration for Dr. Zaaijer. "I'll bet you can be all those things."

"I doubt it."

Dr. Zaaijer encouraged her, but in reality, Dr. Zaaijer knew that it wouldn't be Mikie that would become those things, but Jack who would end up that way. Mikie on the other hand would become strong and stoic. Not that she couldn't become 'caring' she would, but not in an overt emotional way. She also would be able to talk to boys without any trouble since she won't be attracted to them anymore But when Dr. Zaaijer is done with her, it'll be the gorgeous ladies who will be falling all over themselves to be with her.

But at this early stage it was Jack who Dr. Zaaijer was more concerned with. He had already taken his drink out in the waiting room and he'll be ready for this session with Dr. Zaaijer soon.

Pretty soon it was time for Jack in Dr. Zaaijer's office. As soon as he was there, Dr. Zaaijer hooked him up to a machine. The machines job was to show jack pictures and see the areas of his brain that were excited. Dr. Zaaijer wanted to see what emotions the pictures would entail. He wanted to map Jack's brain. To find out what Jack thought was sexy, what he thought was disgusting, what made him laugh, what made him sad. It was true that some emotions were suppressed in his male mind, such as sadness, but anger, embarrassment and disgust would be easy to find.

The first and easiest things to research was how Jack reacted to pictures of sexy women. He wanted to see which got him excited and which didn't. There were pictures of Alisa and Mikie too. But he also showed Jack pictures of men and boys to see what his reaction to those would be. Everything was shown to him in a hypnotic state so Jack had to show his true unfiltered emotions.

But what made Jack sexually excited was just a small part of what Dr. Zaaijer was interested in. He showed him pictures of all sorts of things, from puppy dogs to rag dolls to baseball games to see what his reactions were. All responses were recorded. It would be interesting to see how Jack's reaction to all these pictures would be when Dr. Zaaijer was done with him. In the end, Jack should become nervous about seeing 'cute boys' and should be ambivalent to seeing naked sexy women. He might be even a little jealous when he sees them. Soon the session ended and Dr. Zaaijer was happy with all the data he collected. He could see the areas of Jack's brain which would have to be stimulated to change Jack's feelings. Jack's sexuality would be the hardest part and it would be the part that needed the most delicate care. Jack was a heterosexual man. In the end, Jack would have to still think of himself as heterosexual he would just be attracted to boys instead of women. Those boys would have to be mostly boys of Mikie's age. Right now thinking of being with a boy Mikie's age would disgust Jack, but that would have to change. When Dr. Zaaijer was done Jack left his office. Jack thought he was only there a few seconds.

Part 2

"This was a good start," Dr. Zaaijer thought. At their next session, Jack would be hooked up to the machine again, but this time he would be subjected to sounds instead of sights. Then smells and tastes and finally being touched and touching other people. When Dr. Zaaijer was done after a few sessions, all of Jack's brain would be perfectly mapped.

During one of Mikie's sessions, out of the blue Mikie told Dr. Zaaijer, "It's funny how people see situations differently to each other. The world is full of people who think they are perfect, flawless, blameless and that no matter what they do, no matter how terrible it is, no matter what responsibilities they always try to turn it around onto other people."

"What do you mean?"

"I have made a point of always trying to own up to my own mistakes. I know I hate it, so blaming others for my wrongs would make me a hypocrite right?"

Dr. Zaaijer liked where this was going. It proved that Mikie had an inner strength that Dr. Zaaijer could exploit later.

"Well it seems that my father is one of those people. I know their fights are mostly my fault. I try to do the right thing everyday but no matter how angelic I am he finds something to get angry at me about, something to take out on me. .Mom and Dad's fight are like guerrilla warfare. They are my fault. I know I'm putting a strain on their marriage. But despite my best efforts, Dad still try to fight with me. It's like he wants unhappiness and unrest. I wonder if they would be happier if I wasn't there or would they fall apart even more?

It is quite pathetic that he blames all of his wrongs on his child. How can I respect him and do what he says when all he does is sit on his fucking ass and order me about. Who can respect that?

I try so hard but Mum wouldn't know because I've given up by the time she gets home. If only he weren't here.

I know this may make me come across as some moody, dramatic teenager who will regret saying this later, but I honestly and truly feel hatred for him in every ounce of my body. I loathe him. I do not love him."

"Well, I have been talking with your dad for a while now, and I can see what you mean. If you were to have a perfect dad how would he be?" Dr. Zaaijer asked. Dr. Zaaijer wanted to know Mikie's answer because in the end whatever Mikie said would be how Mikie herself would end up."

"Well my dad should be a strong person and I don't mean just physically, but psychologically too. He should be a man who lives for his family. He should be a man who can take the weight of the world on his shoulders to spare his family. He should be selfless, putting his family's needs before his own."

Dr. Zaaijer thought that Mikie described a good man. In the end, Mikie would become that type of man.

When it was Jack's turn in Dr. Zaaijer's office, this time Dr. Zaaijer tried to map Jack's brain through the use of smells. There were lots of smells to try. Colognes and perfumes of course. But also things like the taste of lipstick, the sweat of a male locker room, ordinary things like the smells of fruits and flowers. Even the less pleasant smells of farts and pee. But included were also the more intimate smells and tastes of men and women.

But besides Dr. Zaaijer mapping of Jack's brain, Dr. Zaaijer decided to make a 'small' change in Jack's behavior. Something both small and profound. After leaving the meeting with Dr. Zaaijer, Jack would always do the family laundry. Dr. Zaaijer wanted Jack to become more intimately acquainted with the apparel of his family, especially the bras and panties which he will hand wash. He will also fold the clothing and return it to the appropriate drawers. Jack won't realize how much he is learning about women's apparel.

At the next session at Dr. Zaaijer office Mikie was more contemplative than usual.

"It's funny how moments of taking first getting steps define our childhood. "

"What do you mean?"

"Like first steps, first haircut, riding with the training wheels off, getting your first bra, period, driver's license, etc."

"You have a driver's license?"

"No of course not but it will really awesome when it arrives."

"OK."

"This year for everyone around me we have had a lot of firsts and lasts. Take my friend Courtney's sister for example, she has had of the biggest transitions that life has this year. She graduated, completed her 100 hours, had her first drink, the list goes on. Then there was my first time singing in front of an audience. Mom and Dad have had huge struggles and have learned to acclimatize and adapt."

"OK, what do you really want to say?"

"I have had first this year too. My first heartbreak, first year as a teenager, my first kiss. Yesterday I used a tampon! That was something I never thought I could do but I did and now I can swim all summer long," Mikie said with a broad smile. There was still chaos in Mikie's house, but using a tampon for the first time was making her smile.

Dr. Zaaijer thought about this. Dr. Zaaijer had to smile too, soon, it'll be Jack who is using a tampon.

In Jack's sessions, Dr. Zaaijer was discovering how hearing and touching things was making Jack feel. Jack would hear words just like his name and the names of his family. He would also hear sounds of ecstasy, a baby crying or cooing, to see how he reacted. After this session, Jack's mind was completely mapped. Dr. Zaaijer also put more suggestions into his mind. Dr. Zaaijer wanted Jack to do more and more of the housework. He was supposed to do them anyway, it was his 'job' as a house-husband but he rarely did them, preferring to drink. But Dr. Zaaijer wanted Jack to cut back. Soon, Dr. Zaaijer would be ready to put his plan into action in a major way. Alisa would have to be called down to the office for a private meeting first.

Christmas and New Years are about to arrive in New Zealand. This is the summer time in the Southern Hemisphere. With Jack drinking less and being occupied more Mikie was in good spirits. At this session Mikie started to talk about things that were important to her for the coming year. Dr. Zaaijer enjoyed these conversations, they would be something to strive for for Jack.

"I just want to mention that I have come to terms with the fact that I think about boys WAY too much. I don't need a boyfriend right now. My time will come. They are too much hard work and I'm too picky. I need to learn to be myself around guys before I jump into any thing. I also want a cute guy best friend as well."

Then after some coaxing, Mikie listed her new years resolutions. "1. Exercise daily. 2. Become more confident with boys. 3. Work on my leadership qualities. 4. Have an amazing party. 5. Try and get some sort of job. 6. Be what I promised to be the girl I am when I'm singing, I want to be the girl who doesn't care about what people think, especially boys."

Dr. Zaaijer decided that except for number 3, (Dr. Zaaijer didn't want the 'new Mikie' to have leadership qualities) it would be Jack who would follow Mikie's resolutions, especially number 6. Dr. Zaaijer wondered if Jack could sing.

Dr. Zaaijer summoned Alisa. A few hours later, Jack and Mikie got the news. Alisa had died of a heart attack. Alisa's life would never be the same, in actuality and Alisa would never be seen again at least no one would be able to recognize her., but she was not dead. Although Jack and Mikie would think she was.

Jack returned to the bottle more when he thought that Alisa had died. Mikie went into a depression. Not long after the funeral, Jack and Mikie had an appointment with Dr. Zaaijer but they never made it. Neither knew what had happened after leaving for the doctor's office. They woke up in a hospital totally covered in bandages.

Dr. Zaaijer explained what had happened.

"Both of you are lucky to be alive. You were in a car accident, the car broke into flames and so in addition to having a broken bones and internal injuries, your bodies are severely burned. You both breathing in a lot of smoke so you can't talk. You are going to be spending a lot of time in the hospital. You will both need many surgeries before getting out. Not only to mend your bones, but skin graphs and reconstructive surgeries. I suspect you will spend most of you time here asleep while your bodies recuperate."

Neither Jack nor Mikie remembered anything about a car accident. Both as stated were covered in bandages. Mikie's bandages were all uniform all over her body. Her arms were covered but she could still move them. Her face was covers such that you could only see holes for her eyes, nose and mouth. Her chest was tightly wrapped and the lower parts of her body were also wrapped. The bandages over her crotch stuck out a little bit because of a small plastic tube that was placed there. Mikie didn't notice, but if she did they would tell her it was from her catheter.

Jack was wrapped in a slightly different way. Jacks arms were the most obvious, his arms were bent at a ninety degree angle and his hands were forced to dangle loosely from the end of the his forearms. His face was also covered the same as Mikie's. Jack didn't know that under his bandages on his chest area were two mounds that made his chest stick out. The bandages around his waist were tight, but those around his hips and butt were very loose. Both were hooked up to IV bottles as was expected. Jack's IV contained estrogen and other female hormones. Mikie's IV contained male steroids and human growth hormone.

With both Jack and Mikie all bandaged up, Dr. Zaaijer could do anything he wanted to them without them knowing what was happening. Both would go through radical reconstructive surgeries in the coming weeks or months. Most of the time while they were unconscious, both Jack and Mikie would be subjected to Dr. Zaaijer's intense mental manipulations. By the time they got out of the hospital, they would be not only physically, but mentally, emotionally and psychologically different people.

Both Jack and Mikie started their treatment with Dr. Zaaijer's mental manipulation. To both father and daughter, their bandages seemed normal, but in the back of their bandages were zippers to remove the bandages quickly. There was nothing physically wrong with them anyway.

Jack and Mikie were put to sleep and mental probes were attached to their heads. Jack saw in his mind pretty women and sexy women. Sometimes from a distance, some times up close, sometime actually touching him in some very intimate ways. Dr. Zaaijer knew exactly what Jack liked in women and what he wanted them to do to him. His mind acted as and adult man (with Jack's sexual preferences) would react to these situations . There were of course the usual physical responses too.

Dr. Zaaijer had to break Jack of these feelings. But Dr. Zaaijer couldn't just wave a wand and make all those feelings go away. Sexuality is involved in almost every area of a persons personality, especially that of men. It would take time for Jack's sexual preferences to change. Dr. Zaaijer wanted Jack to feel like a young virgin girl who hadn't had her first kiss from a boy yet, but was still very attracted to them. But the first thing that Dr. Zaaijer had to do was to lessen his sexual desires for women.

Dr. Zaaijer started with the picture of a gorgeous woman. The woman was obviously very pretty, but she wasn't wearing anything unusually sexy. She was dressed normally in pretty clothes. But Jack recognized the beauty of the woman and was having the usual sexual responses a man has when he sees a pretty woman. The responses of a man who recognizes a woman's beauty, but isn't going to act upon it. The actions of a married man. What Dr. Zaaijer did was to include in Jack's mine was a slight bit of appreciation for the woman's apparel. He recognized what she was wearing some of the clothing that Alisa used to wear and he remembered washing clothing just like it. This was a small start, but an important one. For the rest of this session, Jack would see all sorts of pretty women and along with his usual sexual reaction he would also notice how nice the clothing the woman was wearing in a non-sexual way.

Mikie's treatment was easier. Dr. Zaaijer wanted Mikie to become a strong person. Mikie in a way wanted this too. She didn't want to be dependent on anyone. Dr. Zaaijer would use this desire and intensify it. Dr. Zaaijer would start by simply encouraging Mikie to start working out. When Mikie starts physical therapy she would take to it with abandon, especially when weights were involved. This all started with something simple. Mikie kept hearing over and over, "I'm strong, I'm strong." All the while the parts of Mikie's brain that deal with wants and needs were being stimulated.

On the next session, Jack continued to have his sexual preferences exploited. But also intermixed at random times was the words, "It's all my fault. I have to change. I wish someone would take care of me." These were small suggestions hidden behind his sexual excitement. Jack's mind tried to reject these ideas. But somewhere in his brain he knew that if he got into an accident, he must have been drunk and it was his fault. Dr. Zaaijer looked through Jack's mind to find the places to encourage these thoughts.

For Jack's third session, More pictures of sexy women, but while showing them the connections in Jack's mind of having sex with actual women he knew was being severed. He was losing without him noticing all of his sexual experiences. As the pictures of the women got younger and younger, Dr. Zaaijer increased the feelings of appreciation for the woman's clothing. This worked out as Jack wanted to feel aroused by women who are of legal age so as the women got younger he didn't want to have sexual feeling for jail bait, but regardless all men do. Soon, to protect himself as the women became girls of sixteen or seventeen, Jack preferred to simply appreciate what they wore. He didn't want to think of himself as a pedophile. As the girls got younger and younger it was easier to just see them as normal girls not sexy women. But then, along with appreciation, slight amounts of envy was added to Jack's feelings when he saw prettily dressed women. This marked a turning point in Jack's sexual behavior.

Dr. Zaaijer would keep coming back to this theme. Jack was learning the sexy girls are pretty and he started to be jealous he wasn't like them. Jack was also getting stronger and stronger thoughts about the accident was his fault and he started to wish that he didn't have as much responsibility as he had. He was starting to feel that he wished he could be like those little teen-aged girls. They didn't have any real responsibility. They couldn't drive and get people hurt. If he was like them, then it wouldn't be his fault. As he started to believe that he would rather be a young girl, it was easy to start aging the women shown to Jack's mind as older teens and then women and even though the women were older, Jack was starting to feel envy for these women instead of lust.

It was during this time, without Jack knowing that he had his first surgery. Dr. Zaaijer tightened Jack's vocal cords. Jack was then allowed to start 'talking.' As he healed he was allowed to talk in his sleep as he dreamed about pretty women and what he would do to them. It was difficult at first to form words, but as he healed more and more, the pitch of his voice shined through. The new pitch of his voice was that of a girl or maybe a young woman. Jack's return of voice was so gradual that he didn't notice that his voice had changed. Dr. Zaaijer also encouraged the pleasure centers of his brain that his voice was coming back. He also removed the connections in Jack's voice telling him what his voice should sound like.

It took many sessions but by the time Dr. Zaaijer had returned to showing Jack sexy women his own age, Jack no longer felt any sexual feelings about any of them. He was more interested in the way they dressed and what they liked to do and he wished he could be just like them. All of Jack's sexual experiences had been removed from his mind by this point.

Also during this time, Jack's bandages were removed so that Dr. Zaaijer could could use electrolysis to slowly remove his body hair. He also used creams and ointments to soften Jack's skin. Jack also regained a bit of his youthful appearance just because he had stopped drinking. He wasn't allowed any alcohol in the hospital and Dr. Zaaijer's mind control techniques made Jake equate drinking with repulsion.

As Jack's sexual transition was happening, Mikie was given more and more of her suggestions that she wanted to be strong. This was true even before she met Dr. Zaaijer. But since she was stuck in bed, Dr. Zaaijer manipulated her into her wanting to be strong emotionally. Mikie's mother had just died, she didn't want to be sad. Mikie's mother was all that stood for her in the world, especially since her father was an abusive alcoholic. Mikie had to be strong for herself, so she had to be emotionally strong or so she thought. Emotions of weakness had to be suppressed. She couldn't let sadness or fear control her. She had to be strong. But not only 'sadness' or ' fear' a whole host of emotions had to be controlled. She couldn't let anything make her cry. She had to be strong for the people around her. In many ways it was easier to make Mikie release her 'girlie' emotions and become a stoic. But on the other hand, this wasn't just base sexual feelings, this was her entire emotional make up. Mikie's change was much more profound than Jack's. Jack wouldn't be losing his sexual desires, they would just be eventually channeled differently. Jack still had sexual feelings, but he wasn't using them since he was 'sick in a hospital bed,' but when Dr. Zaaijer was through with him, he would be boy crazy. Both Jack and Mikie were on their way.

During this time, Jack's voice began to return. It was much higher in pitch than it was before. Jack was allowed to be awake for longer periods at this time. He began speech therapy. The therapist taught Jack how to use his new voice. She told him, that of course it should sound different, but it'll be back to normal soon. After the therapist was through, Jack had a much high pitched like that of a teenaged girl but had a quieter voice. His voice also took on a lyrical tone that was pleasing to the ear. The therapist also had a tendency to use slang that a teenager would use, such as OMG and 'like'. Jack started to pick up these verbal traits.

Dr. Zaaijer addressed Jack first. This was the first time he was truly conscious in a long while. Up until this point he was mostly always in a semi-conscious state. Even during speech therapy. Jack didn't know how much time had passed.

"Jack," Dr. Zaaijer stated, "it is time for your first surgery. You broke your hip in the accident," Dr. Zaaijer continued. We thought it would heel by itself, but it obviously hasn't. We are going to give you a replacement hip." Jack murmured a little concern. "Don't worry about it, people get artificial hips all the time, you will be fine. Once you have your hip in place then you can start rehab."

After the alleged hip surgery, Jack's catheter was removed. When Jack needed to go to the restroom an attendant would help him. Jack couldn't stand and so he began sitting down to urinate exclusively when he went to the restroom. With some subconscious coaching, Jack never returned to standing when having to relieve himself. It was impossible now anyway since even though Jack didn't notice he no longer had a penis to pee through.

Dr. Zaaijer gave Mikie the same story, although she had started rehab much earlier. Mikie had never walked since entering the hospital, but she had started strength training for her upper arms. It started small, but as the time passed, Dr. Zaaijer made sure that the weights that Mikie used were getting progressively heavier. No matter how heavy the weight got, Mikie didn't notice a difference. Due to the training and of course the steroids and other male hormones, Mikie was developing strong biceps, triceps and pictorial muscles. Her shoulders were thickening and her voice was naturally becoming deeper. Also due to the human growth hormone she was getting taller. In the end, she would be taller than her father.

After the surgery, both Jack and Mikie were in their respective rooms. Each thought they had a hip replacement, but in fact they had had a genital transplant. Jack had Mikie's vagina (and the rest of her internal sexual organs) and Mikie had Jack's penis and testicles. Both would now get their sexual hormones naturally although Mikie IV would still contain steroids.

Once the transplant had started to heal, both Jack and Mikie began physical therapy. The physical therapist, Isabella, chosen by Dr Zaaijer was a very affectionate woman. She liked to encourage by touching and hugging her patients. She always kept a hand on Jack's back to 'steady' him. Any small bit of progress was greeted with an encouraging touch to Jack's hand or a hug. Jack tolerated this intimacy at first. This woman was there to help him and physical contact was important in physical therapy. But while Jack was unconscious, Dr Zaaijer would manipulate Jack's mind to not only make these touches seem perfectly normal but he would enjoy the intimacy without feeling any sexual feeling. Dr Zaaijer even made Jack look to the day when his arms were free and he could return the hugs and touches.

"It's time for your healing to begin." Isabella said cheerfully.

"You mean I like get to finally get out of this room?" Jack said. His voice was low and sweet. He had gotten used to it. He knew his voice was different than what it had been before, but he was just happy to be able to speak that it didn't bother him.

"You make it sound like we have been keep you as a prisoner. Well it's not true. Today we are going to start your physical therapy. We are going to get you back to walking again."

"Great."

"OK, but first we have to put these on you." Isabella was holding a pair of Hanes Alive Full Support Control Top Pantyhose.

"I can't like wear that."

"Why not?"

"They are pantyhose."

"No they are not, they are support hose. They will support your legs while you are learning to walk. They aren't pantyhose."

"They look like pantyhose to me."

"Well they are not," Isabella lied. Jack didn't need these, but Dr. Zaaijer wanted Jack to wear pantyhose. Jack would be further shocked to know that underneath the bandages which still covered his crotch, he was actually wearing a pair of bikini nylon panties. On his chest, underneath his bandages supporting his burgeoning breasts was a matching bra.

Placated, Jack finally agreed. It was better to wear these than to not leave this room at all. Isabella rolled up the hose on her finger preparing to put up Jack's legs. Jack's legs were softer than they had ever been. There was still some sparse hair on his legs. Dr. Zaaijer could have removed all of Jack's hair through electrolysis if he wanted. But Dr. Zaaijer liked the idea of Jack having some hair. Dr. Zaaijer liked the idea of Jack shaving if off whatever hair he had left like any other girl would.

Jack's arms were still bandaged. His elbows were held at a ninety degree angle and his hands left to hand loosely from his wrists. Since Jack couldn't take his natural strides with his arms the way they were, he had to take smaller steps and try and walk with one foot almost in front of the other. That was the explanation Jack was told by the physical therapist who taught him how to walk. Dr. Zaaijer wanted Jack to walk like a girl not like a bimbo or the exaggerated walk of a model. He needed to sway his hips to keep balance while he walked. Jack didn't realized he was being taught to walk like a girl. He assumed that as he got stronger he would return to a more normal stride, but in his sleep he was being told that he had always walked like this.

Mikie's bandages between her legs were thickened. This made it impossible to sway her hips and walk with her feet close together. She was taught to take long lumbering steps. Also as part of her rehab, she would use gym equipment to strengthen her legs. The muscles in her legs thickened just has he arms had. She was also starting to develop hair all over her arms and legs. Due to Dr. Zaaijer's mental manipulations, Mikie at first thought it was just normal. She hadn't shaved because she was sick, but in time, it became completely normal to her as if she had always had thick hairs on her arms and legs.

But just because the more physical aspects of Jack's treatment had begun, that didn't mean his mental training was suspended. Jack's sex drive hadn't been lessened although it wasn't focus on anyone now. Dr. Zaaijer would return to building sexual desires for Jack when he thought of himself more as a girl than a man. Until then, his mind would reject those thoughts as the sick thoughts of a pedophile. But for now, Dr. Zaaijer wanted to build a more feminine persona. He started with memories of Jack doing the housework. Dr. Zaaijer enhanced these memories. Dr. Zaaijer made Jack find pride in having a clean house and a nice appearance. Jack would start to even enjoy cleaning up both the house and himself.

Dr. Zaaijer would propel Jack and Mikie on two different tracks. Jack would be, some say encouraged, others would say forced to think of his entire life was a failure that everything was his fault. (This wasn't altogether not true) He would want to be better, but he would know he couldn't be a man in what he thought was the typical sense. He wasn't strong enough, he needed to have someone support him. If he couldn't be a man, then he would have to be a woman. But he didn't know how to be a woman so he would have to be a girl. Once convinced that he was a girl at heart, Dr. Zaaijer would make him into Mikie. Of course, Dr. Zaaijer would make sure that Jack was an even more feminine girlie version of Mikie. Dr. Zaaijer decided that by the time Jack returned to a 'normal' life he would think that even the name 'Mikie' was too masculine for him and he would insist on being called Michaelina from then on.

Mikie would follow the opposite path. She would want to be strong in all things., She wouldn't want to be girlie in any way. Her body will be strong, her mind will be strong and her personality will be strong and her emotions will be strong. To do this, she'll be a man's man. She'll be the strong silent type who takes care of her family the best she could.

Mikie was already starting to be strong in a physical sense, but now it was time to make her want to be a man. She now had a penis and that was the first place for Dr. Zaaijer to start. While under Dr. Zaaijer's hypnotic control, Mikie was shown pictures of sexy and sensual adult women. All the while, her penis would be stimulated. She couldn't help but to get hard. Scene and scene of sexual encounters would be thrust upon Mikie's brain until she climaxed. Then she would return to sleep until her body recovered enough to be able to do it again. She did this time after time. Each time with different sexy women and different sexual scenarios. Dr. Zaaijer also stimulated to greater degrees than normal pleasure centers of Mikie's brain. Mikie had never even been kissed by a boy yet, so these virtual sexual experiences overwhelmed her burgeoning sexual orientation. Later when Mikie started to think of herself as a man, Dr. Zaaijer would seal her sexual orientation by inducing shame and revulsion when thinking of anything sexual with a man and especially under-aged boys.

Physically, Jack and Mikie were well on their way to their new lives. Jack's diet along with female hormones had lowered Jack's weight and reduced his muscles. The creams and ointments and electrolysis were making his skin silky smooth. He already had Mikie's vagina and was developing a narrowing waist, rounder hips, a bigger butt and the beginnings of breasts. The physical therapy was making his movements refined and graceful. All he needed was facial reconstructive surgery and breast enhancement surgery and he would look like a teen girl, much like Mikie. Dr. Zaaijer couldn't make Jack look exactly like Mikie, they weren't biologically family, but it would be close enough given the explanation of the car accident.

Mikie was getting bigger and stronger every day. She was developing hair everywhere and was much bigger than Jack ever was. She was already the same height as Jack. Soon she would be even taller. She moves with strength and purpose now with the lumbering strides of a man and her arms forced away from her body by muscles. Mikie is also gaining confidence due to her stronger appearance. She still considers herself a girl, but she is becoming an intimidating sight. Mikie's chest is bigger that it had been before all this started, but she didn't need a bra at all. She didn't have breasts anymore either, they had been surgically removed without her knowing.

As time went on, more therapies were added to Jack's regiment. All of the therapies were designed to make Jack move in more and more feminine ways. While Jack was unconscious, Dr. Zaaijer increased Jack's mental manipulation. Jack was made to realize how much of a failure he was. Whether his drinking was a symptom of his failure or the cause of it didn't matter. Now that Jack was sober, Jack could see the truth, he was a failure as a husband, a failure as a father and a failure as a man. He didn't have any job, his wife was dead, he caused injury to himself and his daughter because of his accident and in the light as day, he knew that his daughter hated him. That is why she hadn't seen him since they got to the hospital.

"He hated his old life, but didn't think he was strong enough to be a man. He wished he was someone else." That was the thought that was being forced into his head. There was enough truth to it to allow Jack to believe it. Once Jack had accepted the blame a new thought was thrust upon his mind.

Jack started to cry. All of Jack's emotional defenses were gone. The emotions just flew out of him like a damn that had broken. This was the turning point. "I wish I was a little girl so someone would take care of me, because I can't take care of myself," Jack thought while sobbing. Jack was actually sobbing physically even though he was still technically unconscious. Jack couldn't go on. He hated himself and everything about himself.

Knowing the breakthrough was at hand Dr. Zaaijer woke Jack up. Now Dr. Zaaijer could point Jack into any direction he wished. He could make Jack into a woman his own age, or a teenaged girl or even a little baby girl if he wanted.

Jack wasn't sobbing anymore, he was crying uncontrollably like a baby.

"What is wrong?" Dr. Zaaijer asked seemingly concerned.

"I'MMMM A A FAILURE.. I I I HATE MYSELF?" Jack said stuttering as he cried with big tears rolling down his face.

"No you are not honey."

"But I...I...I am. I...I can't do do anything right."

"You are just upset."

"I can't go on as a man anymore."

"A man???" Dr. Zaaijer gave Jack a way out of his position. "Mikie, you are not a man."

"I'm not Mikie, that is my daughter."

Dr. Zaaijer who had been prepared for this scene,took Jack over to a mirror and removed all of his bandages, except those over his face and let Jack look at his body for the first time. He saw the body of a girl. He had developed breasts that was plain to see, but down below he obviously had the genitals of a woman along with the narrow waist and wide hips. His skin was soft and smooth. Noticing the sparse hair on his legs, he was slightly revolted and felt the need to shave it off. He couldn't be a man. He wasn't a man named Jack Morris. He... no she is Michaelina Morris who people most called Mikie. This was such a relief to Jack that his tears were replace with a big smile. He threw himself into Dr. Zaaijer's arms.

"There, there Mikie. It'll be alright," Dr. Zaaijer soothed.

There was no turning back from this point. Jack was now Mikie. The final physical step was the facial reconstructive surgery and then the new Michaelina would be complete (Dr. Zaaijer decided long ago that when Jack became his teenaged daughter, he would prefer to be called Michaelina instead of Mikie. He thought that Mikie was a much too masculine name for a girl.) There would be no resistance as 'Michaelina' relearned all the things she needed to be a girl.

Once Michaelina admitted to herself who she really was, Dr. Zaaijer waited until she was asleep to probe her mind again. What he wanted to do was release all restraint on her emotions that she had built up while being a man. Michaelina was well on her way by her tears and the big smile. But that was under extraordinary circumstances. As Dr. Zaaijer decided when this whole thing started he wanted the new Michaelina to be very emotional. To be the type of girl who could laugh and cry at the drop of a hat. To be the type of girl who's emotions: love, hate, sympathy, empathy, warmth, etc. are shown regularly. The old Jack had emotions of course, but as a man he suppressed expressing them. From now on that suppression mechanism was gone from his brain.

Part 3

For the real Mikie's transition, Dr. Zaaijer used a different tactic. Mikie was becoming stronger every day. The time to return home and go back to her old life was approaching. Mikie knew this but she didn't want to go to her old self. She was reminded of how it used to be at home with her alcoholic father. She didn't want that. It would be worse since her mother was not around anyway. The idea scared her. Then Dr. Zaaijer gave her a way out. She didn't have to be the scared little girl living with an alcoholic. She could be the big strong man of the family. She would make the rules, set the limits. It would be better if she was the father, she could live by example and protect her family. Under hypnosis with the two choices of being the scared little girl or the strong decent man, she chose to be the man. She had all the power and she didn't want to lose it.

When she woke up and like Jack before her, looked in the mirror she would see the body of a strong man and would assume Jack's name and his position in the family. In a strange twist, the new Jack would take responsibility for all of the old Jack's problems. He would never drink 'again.' He would be a good man and provide for his daughter everything that she formerly wanted for herself.

Dr. Zaaijer started to work on the new Jack's mind. There was still a lot of girl in him. Sexually he was now all man and thoughts of women dominated his interests. But the 'emotional garbage' as the old Jack would have thought of it had to be removed. Dr. Zaaijer went back to examining different portions of Jack's brain while showing him the same pictures that he had shown the old Jack in their initial sessions. Jack would like strawberries for example, but think it wrong to use strawberry scented shampoos. The emotional ooos and ahhs that Mikie had when she saw pictures of puppies and dogs had to be removed, but the thoughts of the relationship between a man and his dog had to be preserved. Thought of wearing women's clothing had to be changed from being common placed, to being embarrassing or slightly funny. Wearing panties would have to seem sexy on women but gay if he wore them. It was a balancing act, but Dr. Zaaijer had all of Jack's original responses and he could build on them. It took a while to get Jack's emotional balance right. Jack had to have all of emotions that Mikie had had before but have several of them suppressed and others controlled. It was not Dr. Zaaijer's intention to make Jack into an emotionless robot.

Dr. Zaaijer worked upon Michaelina's mind also. One of the things that he emphasized was babies and little children. Michaelina's mind was subjected with pictures of babies, baby smells, baby sounds and the feel of baby skin, etc. All the while Michaelina was made to feel feelings of joy, contentment, happiness, well being. In the end Michaelina was just drawn to babies and young children. She loved them and enjoyed being around them. Even changing diapers was pleasurable to her.

After both Jack and Michaelina's emotional balance was perfected but before their facial reconstructive surgeries, they met for the first time since the first day they entered the hospital. Michaelina threw herself into Jack's arms with a broad smile on her face. Jack (the former Mikie) due to human growth hormones and steroids was now two inches taller than Michaelina who was still five foot seven. Michaelina kissed her dad all over his face. This was difficult since both still had bandages covering their faces. Michaelina kept saying "I Love You!" over and over again.

Jack hugged his daughter tight. "I'm so sorry about what I have done to you. I'm going to be a better person. A better father. I'm going to treat you like a princess. I'll never drink again," Jack said sincerely. Jack held back his own tears, he had to be strong for his daughter. Jack kept apologizing to his daughter. Everything he said he meant. He was going to be a better person. He was going to give her everything she wanted if he could. He was going to treat her like a princess. Jack's strength and sincerity comforted his daughter. They loved each other very deeply, but expressed that love in different ways. Dr. Zaaijer knew from how each handled the encounter that each was almost ready to rejoin the outside world.

Some of Mikie's friends had visited the hospital a short time after the accident, but they were turned away. They were told that Mikie was much too injured to have visitors, but that when Mikie was better they would be called for a visit. Jack had few friends. Most were alcoholics like him and so Jack didn't get any visitors. But now that Michaelina had accepted her true identity Dr. Zaaijer decided that she should have some outside contact. Dr. Zaaijer wanted to see how Michaelina interacted with her friends. This would be the first baby steps on 'returning' Michaelina to the normal life of an ordinary teenaged girl. A nurse called the number one of Mikie's friends left and asked them if they wanted to visit.

Courtney and Ellen were the first come. When they got to the hospital they were escorted to a room in which to wait for Mikie. Inside the waiting room a nurse greeted the girls. She told them what they already knew that Mikie had been hurt very badly. But the nurse also explained that they shouldn't be surprised at her appearance and that she might seem somewhat different from how she was. She told them that even though her body was heeled, her face was still recuperating under bandages so don't be alarmed. They should also try and not upset her. The two girls agreed and waited for Mikie to arrive, not knowing what to expect.

When Michaelina walked into the room, the girls were shocked despite all the warnings. Michaelina was much taller than she had been. Most of the girls had grown in the year since the accident, but Mikie grown the most. She was only five foot four before but now she was five foot seven. But that wasn't the biggest change, her boobs might have been a large A-cup before but now they were definitely a C-cup or maybe a D-cup. She had also filled out in the hip and butt department. If she hadn't come with the nurse that was just her, the girls wouldn't have recognized her. Her face was covered under bandages. Michaelina had a graceful fluid walking style now that she hadn't had before. She walked with her hands in front of her with her hands limply hanging from her wrists. She was dressed only in a hospital gown and a pair of panties. Michaelina begged Dr. Zaaijer to allow her to wear something pretty when greeting her friends, but Dr. Zaaijer said that she was still sick and should continue to wear just the hospital gown. Besides he reminded her, she still had bandages on her face.

When Michaelina saw her friends her arms flew up, instead of down and she ran towards them. Even though she was running her feet still landed almost one in front of the other. She hugged, Ellen who was the closest to her and kissed her several times on the cheek and neck. Then she did the same for Courtney who joined them in a three way hug. Michaelina realized that she had 'forgotten' Courtney's name, but she knew Ellen's who was her best friend. Michaelina didn't let on that she couldn't remember Courtney's name.

When the hugs were broken, Michaelina said, "Oh My Gawd, I am like so happy you came,"

"How are you doing?" Ellen asked.

"I'm doing great now that you are here." Michaelina then burst into tears. They were tears of joy.

Ellen didn't know what to say about Mikie's appearance. Mikie looked so different than she had before. Her body was now a knockout, but she was wearing bandages over her face. So Ellen didn't know whether to say that she looked great or something else. Ellen decided to go with the great line. "Mikie, you look great!"

"I do. They have been helping me here. The people here are like soooo wonderful. But don't call me Mikie anymore. I want to be called like Michaelina from now on."

"You do?"

"Yes," then Michaelina made a joke to break the tension. "I'm like Michaelina the Diva, now." Michaelina giggled at her own joke and soon all three were laughing.

"WHATEVER MICHAELINA," Ellen said enunciating the words and purposefully rolling her eyes. "But you really look great! Doesn't she Courtney?"

"Yeah you are fuckin gorgeous now....well except for your ape-like face good thing it's still covered," Courtney meant it as a joke and Michaelina took it as it was intended.

Michaelina struck a sexy pose. "I look hot bitches." Dr. Zaaijer had encouraged Michaelina to use teenaged slang, but he also tried to remove cussing from her vocabulary.

"Well it is taking so long because like the surgeon is like looking for the perfect, hottest face for me. I'm going to be so hot that I will get all the best looking guys. If you are nice to me, I'll leave like the crumbs for you."

"Well at least you won't look like a god-damned gorilla anymore, Mik...Michaelina." The girls wanted to know all about the accident and how they had been helping her.

"I really don't remember much about the accident. I was like in the car and then the next thing I remember I was like here. Then I was like oh my gawd what happened."

"Really you don't remember anything?"

"Nope not a thing. I was just in a hospital bed and my doctor, Dr. Zaaijer told me what had happened. He has been overseeing my entire case." No one wondered why a family therapist would be in charge of Michaelina's case. Continuing, "I have had like a million surgeries and I have rehab everyday."

"When will you get out of here?"

"It'll take a while. I need plastic surgery on my face. But my doctor said I will look gorgeous after."

"Well, anything is better than how you looked before." The three giggled.

Michaelina wanted to know what had been going on at school. Ellen and Courtney told Michaelina all that had gone on at school in the last year. They told of friends who got into big fights and don't speak to each other anymore. Some friends that had moved away and of course who was dating who and what happened. No relationship lasted that long. Michaelina took it all in. She loved all the gossip. But one thing concerned her. She didn't seem to know who the people were, especially the boys. Some of the names seemed a bit familiar, but not many. Michaelina pretended like she knew everyone, but she started to get worried. She would have to talk to Dr. Zaaijer about her memory loss. Regardless, Michaelina felt for everyone she was told about, whether it be happiness, sadness or concern.

Michaelina then steered the conversation to fashion. She wanted to know what all the girls were wearing. Ellen and Courtney told Michaelina everything they knew. Michaelina took it all in. She would have to get a new wardrobe for back to school.

The girls stayed over two hours, before the nurse made them leave. Ellen and Courtney didn't suspect anything was wrong with Michaelina. Michaelina had changed, but it had been a year and she had been through an awful lot. The girls promised to visit again and then they were gone.

Dr. Zaaijer had been watching the entire exchange on a monitor. He was pleased that Michaelina had fit in so well. If things had gone wrong in any way, Dr. Zaaijer would have sent in the nurse to end it before there was a real problem. Dr. Zaaijer knew that Michaelina wanted to fit in at all costs so that there probably wouldn't be any trouble, but it was better to be safe.

The day before their final surgeries, Jack and Michaelina spent together. Just enjoying being with each other and reestablishing a loving familial bond.

Both Jack and Michaelina's faces were still bandaged for sometime after the surgery. It was at this time, that Dr. Zaaijer started to feed to one another the tapes of the sessions which were made before the 'accident.'. Michaelina saw edited sessions that she had had with Dr. Zaaijer. There wasn't mention of the troubles she had with her father. It was all about who she was and what she wanted to do..

Dr. Zaaijer started Michaelina off with the video of Mikie's first session with him. It started off with the school that Mikie attended and her friends there. When a friend was mentioned, Dr. Zaaijer showed a picture of that person to Michaelina. The picture was taken from Mikie's facebook page. Then it went on to Mikie's excitement of her best friend's Ellen's birthday party. Dr. Zaaijer knew he had to catch Michaelina up on the things that Mikie should know.

Entry after entry of Mikie's sessions was shown Michaelina. Michaelina was also read Mikie's diary. Dr. Zaaijer concentrated on Mikie's hopes and dreams. First there were the immediate hopes. It had been almost a year since Dr. Zaaijer met Alisa and her family. Summer, Christmas and New Years were all around the corner and Michaelina was concerned about having a 'bikini bod.' In truth, Michaelina had a better body than Mikie did. She looked older and had much bigger breasts. She was curvier and walked in a more feminine style. Michaelina definitely had a 'bikini bod.' Even though she thought of herself at fourteen, almost fifteen, she could attract boys much older now.

The next step was short term goals. Dr. Zaaijer fed into Michaelina's mind the new years resolutions that Mikie had made the year before. "1. Exercise daily, 2. Become more confident with boys, (The third choice was removed from the list 'Work on my leadership qualities' Dr. Zaaijer didn't want Michaelina to have any l;eadership or masculine qualities at all), 4. Have an amazing party, 5. Try and get some sort of job, 6. Be what I promised to be the girl I am when I'm singing the girl ('who doesn't care about what people think,' was edited out of the list. Dr. Zaaijer didn't want Michaelina to have a large sense of independence) especially boys. " The exercise daily was definitely being fulfilled do to her rehab. The rest was more iffy, but Dr. Zaaijer would help Michaelina with the parts about boys.

Finally, the long term goals were decided by Dr. Zaaijer himself. They where simply to be a devoted loving wife and a caring mother. Michaelina would grow up to become a housewife and mother. That is what she would want to do, nothing else was as important..

During Michaelina's waking hours, Dr. Zaaijer made sure to send in people who could teach Michaelina all she needed to know to be a woman. Not the least of which would be to teach her how to use a tampon so she could swim all summer. Something Mikie had been very proud of. Although when she got to the beach, Michaelina would spend more time just being pretty and looking at boys than actually swimming.

Dr. Zaaijer wanted to have a good friend in place for when Michaelina got out of the hospital. He wanted a person who Michaelina could always depend upon while she was out in the real world. This would make it easier for Michaelina's feminine persona to grow. Ellen was Mikie's best friend and Dr. Zaaijer wanted Ellen to encourage Michaelina to be as feminine as possible.

Mikie's friends never came to the hospital alone, they always came in couples or trios. When Ellen came to the hospital with Courtney again, Dr. Zaaijer had them escorted to his office. They were given something to drink with Dr. Zaaijer's usual hypnotic in it and were hooked up to Dr. Zaaijer's machine. To Dr. Zaaijer's surprise, he found out that Ellen didn't consider Michaelina as her best friend anymore. Ellen had found a new best friend in the year that Mikie was gone. This infuriated Dr. Zaaijer. Dr. Zaaijer decided that Courtney would be Michaelina's new best friend. Courtney would become very close to Michaelina and encourage her to be the girly-girl that Dr. Zaaijer wanted. It would be arranged for Michaelina to spend some time at Courtney's house while Jack got his living situation in order.

But Dr. Zaaijer didn't want Ellen to get away scot-free. It infuriated him that Ellen had dumped Michaelina as a best friend. Ellen had to be punished. So while under Dr. Zaaijer's influence, Ellen was made to have strong sexual feelings for girls. Not for Michaelina of course, but other girls. This would be especially true for Ellen's new best friend Emily. "That should add spice into their relationship," Dr. Zaaijer thought.

For the new Jack, he would spend most of his time hearing about Jack's sex life. It all started when Jack was sixteen and he was dating a fifteen year old girl. Jack had had the hots for her and he wanted to get into her pants. He tried everything to do it but she put him off some. Finally, Jack borrowed his father's car and took the girl out to a carnival. He bought her cotton candy, hugged close to her in the rides and won her a 'medium sized' stuffed lion. They found a place to park and he had made a man out of himself that night.

All of Jack's dating life which he had told Dr. Zaaijer was played into Jack's unconscious. All the while, the appropriate emotions and feeling were reproduced for Jack. Jack's whole relationship with Alisa was also shown to Jack. Jack made all these experiences his own. The only goal that Dr. Zaaijer gave to Jack was to find a woman who he could marry that would be a roll model for his daughter. That was the most important thing to him now.

It was now time for Michaelina to be reacquainted with her feelings about boys. Michaelina's brain had been denied an outlet for sexual expression. She still had sexual feelings, but she had no outlet for them since all feelings for women had been removed and any thoughts of having sex with boys was disgusting to her. But now that she embraced her female persona, thoughts of sex and relationships with boys could be introduced. It was a simple step for Dr. Zaaijer all he had to do was introduce pictures of boys and then excite the libido in Michaelina's mind. Dr. Zaaijer displayed many different types of boys to Michaelina, from nerds to jocks and all in between. Michaelina found she liked all types of boys. By the end of the sessions, Michaelina was boy crazy.

But Dr. Zaaijer didn't want Michaelina to be just the school slut who would do it with anyone, so he instilled into her mind some sexual restraint along with the feeling that she was just too young for sex. When Dr. Zaaijer was finished, Michaelina thought about boys a lot, but she didn't do much about it, preferring to wait for boys to make the first move. Even then her virgin mind would prefer holding hands, a little touching and some kissing to having sex or letting some boy just grope her. She wanted to be thought of as a lady.

Finally the big day came, the day to remove the bandages. Jack was first. Jack looked great. His face was handsome and rugged. He had very short hair that was a half inch long and its longest part. On his angular face he had a small growth of beard. His chin was squarer and his nose was large, but in fact, Dr. Zaaijer hadn't made many real changes to Jack's face. The male hormones did most of the work. What Dr. Zaaijer did was to give Jack a more mature appearance. When taken with his hard, muscular body, the seemingly thirty-nine year old man was quite handsome and could get any woman he wanted. Once he got out he would be quite a catch for any woman.

Michaelina had much more extensive work done to her face. She had her nose reduces and her face was made more oval shaped. Her eyes were more expressive and her skin was made much softer and more pretty. All angles on her face was smoothed out. Her hair was much shorter than it had been, but there wasn't time for it to grow. Dr. Zaaijer assured the worried Michaelina that she didn't have to wait another year for her hair to grow to it's proper length, they could add hair extensions now. Taken with Michaelina's new slightly more mature, curvy body, Michaelina was a knockout. Although Dr. Zaaijer worked hard to give Michaelina an innocence that made her look like a teen instead of an adult.

Now that all the bandages were removed, Dr. Zaaijer sent a specialist to teach Michaelina how to take care of herself.

"Hi, I'm Samantha, you will be going home soon and you will need to know what to do to keep your skin healthy."

"Like what?" Michaelina asked.

"Well let's see, you will have to use this lotion to keep your skin healthy," Samantha said holding up a bottle."

"OK"

"And you can't use just any shaving cream on your legs anymore. Have you started to shave your legs?"

"I guess not. Michaelina didn't remember ever shaving." Michaelina giggled a bit to relieve the embarrassment.

Samantha showed Michaelina how to shave her legs and her underarms and finally her more private areas. After they were done, the two got to talking about fashion. A subject that Michaelina loved but didn't seem to know much about.

Michaelina had grown in many ways since entering the hospital (or so she thought.) "Look at me," Michaelina commented, "I must have like had a growth spurt, I was five three, now I'm like much taller I think."

Once measured, they found that she was now five seven, not to mention her hips had flairs to thirty-five inches and she had a 34-D chest. Michaelina didn't remember what her waist had been but now it is 27 inches. After all the measurements, both realized that Michaelina would need a whole new wardrobe. Her old clothes wouldn't fit properly. But for now, Samantha put Michaelina into a dress. One thing led to another, and soon Samantha was teaching Michaelina how to put on makeup. When they were done, Michaelina looked at herself in a full length mirror. Then she twirled around to see her back.

"Wow, you are as pretty as a ballerina."

"OMG, do you like really think so?" said with another big smile.

"I do indeed. Do you know how to dance?"

"No."

"I think you should take lessons, you seem to have natural talent."

Soon after getting out of the hospital, Michaelina did take dance lessons.

Part 4

All in all, neither Jack nor Michaelina looked exactly as they had 'before.' but there was enough similarities so that no one would question the identity of either. Everyone knew about the accident and they all had assumed that they would be slightly different. Michaelina was still growing so her appearance was expected to change anyway.

Michaelina's lessons on makeup, hair, nails and fashion where making big impact on her appearance. She was becoming more confident with her technique everyday. She was a very pretty girl to begin with. Dr. Zaaijer's plastic surgery had seen to that, but the final touches of the makeup and wardrobe magnified that effect. Michaelina was gorgeous. She could compete with any girl in New Zealand in the looks department. She was extremely feminine just as Dr. Zaaijer wanted her.

Michaelina had selected a very pretty sleeveless mini-dress with a U- shaped neckline that accentuated her full breasts and long shapely legs. She took her time in selecting the accessories that went with it. Finally she used everything she knew, to apply her makeup. She was just stunning as she posed in the mirror.

Looking at herself, Michaelina thought of the long struggle she had to achieve this look. She remembered she didn't always look like this. She started to think back to before. She couldn't remember what she looked like when she first got into the hospital, she was covered in bandages. So she thought back even before that. She remembered when she was young, before puberty. The old images came into her head. But they weren't images of a little girl. They were images of a little boy. He was cute back then, but no one, least of which himself called him pretty. Back then he remembered, he remembered that he played with the boys. "Wait wasn't she a girl?" She forces herself to use feminine pronouns. She thought the girls were all stupid back then. Michaelina liked dolls and stuffed animals now but did she like them when she was just a kid? "What happened to me?" Michaelina thought.

Then flashes of later times came into his mind. He...he meant she remembered being older. Remembered the good times hanging out with his mates. He got a job out of college, he had graduated from university and (what did she think of herself as a he, she meant she. Her mind struggled to think of the right pronoun) got a good job. She was on the fast track for promotion. "Wait were these memories or where they dreams?" Michaelina wondered.

Dr. Zaaijer was so focused on exploiting all of Jack's bad memories that he forgot the good memories of Jack's life. Jack was in his late thirties, it was hard for Dr. Zaaijer to totally eliminate his entire history.

Michaelina started wondering who she really was. Was she really this gorgeous girl? Or was she a man? She started to cry. She was scared, there wasn't any masculine strength in him to fight off his feelings now. Emotions welled up in him. He was just scared, he felt sorry for himself. For a second looking at his pretty clothes, he became embarrassed about wearing a dress. He was disgusted about the panties he now wore, did that make him some sort of fruit? He was ashamed of himself for dozens of reasons. He also felt a bit of pride at being such a pretty girl. Finally despair overcame all his emotions and he began to cry harder.

That is how he was found, weeping uncontrollably saying over and over again, "I'M NOT ME! I'M NOT ME!" He was taken to Dr. Zaaijer's office for some intensive therapy.

By the time Michaelina was seen by Dr. Zaaijer his personality was in shambles. He was sure his name was Michaelina. But he had all the emotional control of a highly emotional young woman, but he knew he was really a man and the core of his original personality was fighting every feminine trait he now had. He was conflicted about everything. He was prideful about his stunning looks, but he was embarrassed that he wore women's clothing which he at the same time loved. He hated that he loved playing with dolls. He thought he was too old for that or did he think that he was a boy and only gay boys played with dolls. But he couldn't deny that he just love playing them. He didn't know if he was a she or she was a he.

He was having his period, but men don't have periods. He couldn't pee standing up even though he wanted to. His mind was heading for a complete breakdown.

Michaelina had disappeared and Jack wanted to know where his daughter was. Dr. Zaaijer said that she had had a relapse and she would need intensive therapy for a while.

"Can I see her?!?"

"I don't think that would be a good idea."

"That wasn't a question. I am Michaelina's father and I want to see my daughter now!" Jack said in a forceful tone.

"Alright." Dr. Zaaijer didn't see any harm in letting Jack see her. She was between treatments anyway.

On the way towards Michaelina's room, they passed Samantha. Jack had never met Samantha, she wasn't involved in Jack's treatment. After Dr. Zaaijer had calmed Michaelina, Dr. Zaaijer talked to Samantha. He wanted to know if she had seen any sign that something was wrong. Samantha did see something, but didn't think to tell Dr. Zaaijer.

Now Samantha's life was quite different than before. Samantha was sweeping the hall floor with a broom. She wore a pale green janitors uniform as she had since Dr. Zaaijer had talked with her. She would be wearing this uniform everyday for the rest of her life. She didn't wear any makeup and her hair was cut short and straight without any style. Her IQ had been lowered to seventy and her knowledge had been reduced to the basics for living and what she knew about cleaning floors and nothing else. She now lived in the hospital in the janitorial closet with the cleaning supplies. Samantha would never leave the hospital again for the rest of her life.

Dr. Zaaijer let Jack see his daughter through a window in the door. Michaelina was lying in bed. It was clear that she had been crying and she was sedated.

"What happened to her?"

"I'm not sure, I think the strain of everything that has happened was too much for her fragile psyche."

"Can I help?"

"Just hold her hand. Be strong for her." Jack was let into Michaelina's room and did just that.

The crisis eventually passed and Dr. Zaaijer found the right combination of memory suppression and memory implantation to return Michaelina to the generally cheerful girl she had been before.

The time was approaching when Jack and Michaelina would be released from the hospital and 'return' to their normal lives. But before they left, Dr. Zaaijer asked to speak with each of them privately.

Michaelina strode into Dr. Zaaijer's office. She wore a pretty peasant top with matching leggings. She walked as she had been taught with one foot almost in front of the other, her hips swaying, her arms held out in front of her with her hands handing limply from her wrist. She carried a purse on a long strap from her right shoulder to her left hip. Her makeup was artfully applied, she work a nice bracelet and was every bit a girl. When she sat in the chair in front of Dr. Zaaijer she unconsciously crossed her legs.

"Hi, Mikie, how you are feeling?" Dr. Zaaijer asked cheerfully.

"Oh, I like feel great, but I prefer to be called Michaelina now."

"If you like, Michaelina. Are you really feeling great?"

"I have a few questions for you before you go home. Do you mind?"

"No of course not."

"OK, I'll start in a minute. Before we start would you like a drink?"

"Sure." Dr. Zaaijer gave Michaelina a drink spiced with the same hypnotic that he had give to Jack when this all began. Dr. Zaaijer wanted honest answers. Dr. Zaaijer knew that Michaelina wouldn't lie to him, but if she was lying to herself then he wouldn't get the true answers he wanted.

Soon, Michaelina was in a trance-like state ready to answer Dr. Zaaijer's questions.

"What's your name?" was Dr. Zaaijer's first question.

Michaelina hesitated when answering. She thought her name was Michaelina, but there was something in the back of her mind that said that wasn't right.

"My name is...., my name is..."

"That's alright. What do you think you name should be?"

This was an easier question and she quickly answered. "My name should be Michaelina Lynn Harris."

"Good. Are you a girl or a boy?"

"I'm a girl." This was obvious, she looked like a girl and had breasts and a vagina. She was obviously a girl even to herself.

"Do you like being a girl?"

"Yes."

"Do you feel like a girl?"

"Not all the time."

This surprised Dr. Zaaijer a bit. He thought that he had already excised everything male about Michaelina. "What do you mean?"

"I mean like sometimes I just don't feel like a girl. I sort of feel like a man."

"You feel like a man?"

"Yes, like sometimes I see sports on TV and I know I'm not interested, but part of me is. Or sometimes I see like this pretty woman and I think she is pretty and then I start to get a feeling like...I don't know...like a man gets."

"You mean you like women like a lesbian?"

"No not like that. It's different. Do you like know what I mean?"

"It's alright, lets talk about something else." Dr. Zaaijer asked Michaelina a whole host of questions. Most of the questions, Michaelina answered like the girl she appeared to be. But for a few, the old Jack was still subtly in her mind. Dr. Zaaijer would make sure by the time Michaelina and Jack left the hospital, they would be in every way the people they appeared to be.

Changing Jack into Michaelina was harder than Dr. Zaaijer thought, it seemed that small parts of Jack's personality still stuck to Michaelina's head like getting glitter off a prom dress.. But Dr. Zaaijer is determined to remove it a hundred percent.

One day while Michaelina was fixing her makeup a woman came into her room.

"Hello, I'm Mrs. Michno, I'm the hospital administrator. I hear you are getting out soon."

Michaelina thought, "Hospital administrator? is dat a thing?" but didn't say it. "Yes, it's like any day now. I am soooo looking forward to getting out of here." Michaelina said with a big smile. Then a moment later he expression dropped a bit. "I don't want you to like think dat I like don't like your hospital. I just want to go home."

"I understand completely. No one wants to stay in a hospital longer than necessary." Michaelina's face brightened again. "But to let you know why I am here. You are getting out soon and Dr. Zaaijer said you can go home, but as the administrator I have to be sure that you are ready."

Michaelina realized that this woman who she had never met before could prevent her from going home. She became a bit nervous and the worry showed on her face. "I'm ready. Look at me I am in like top shape."

"I know honey, but I want to see what is going on inside that pretty little head of yours. Don't worry I don't bite."

"Kk, what do you want to know?"

"Just tell me about yourself."

"Well let's see, I am Michaelina Lynn Harris. I'm fourteen years old. I'll be fifteen on January fourth. I go to Faith Lutheran High School, I'm in grade, well I will be in grade 10."

"That is fine, what do you like?"

"I like boys of course."

"That isn't what I meant, but you like boys?"

"Like duh. Hashtag HOTCHICK"

"Do you have a special boy you like?"

"I like this guy, but he like doesn't know it."

"He doesn't? Have you told him?"

"Like no way, if he didn't like me it would hurt sooooo much."

"But maybe he does like you."

"I hope so."

"Have you ever kissed a boy?"

"No, I haven't yet." Michaelina was embarrassed that she hadn't kissed a boy. Lots of Michaelina's friends had had their first kiss while Michaelina was away. She was so jealous. "But when I get out of here, I'll find a boy and kiss like the hell out of him." Michaelina knew she couldn't just go up and kiss a boy, but her mock bravado was fun to see. You would see on her face that she was kidding about kissing just any boy.

"I'm sure you will. What do you want to do most when you get out of here?"

"I want to go to the beach. I have this rockin bod, I want to show it off. I like need a tan anyway. But when I get a tan and stuff, I'm gonna mupload that ish to pinterest and fracebook."

"You are very pretty."

Michaelina stood up, thrust out her hip, put her hand on it and then puckered her lips. "I'm bitchin hot! Can I get an amen!"

"That you are!" Both laughed at Michaelina's display.

The interview continued. Michaelina was all girl, all woman, all teen in every way. The words she used, the posture and mannerisms she used, the expression on her face, the emotions she conveyed were totally natural and appropriate. No one looking at her could tell she wasn't just another teenaged girl.

When Jack and Michaelina left the hospital, Michaelina stayed with Courtney while Jack established himself. Jack needed to get a job and a new home for himself and his daughter to stay. Michaelina enjoyed staying with her new best friend. This was the first contact she had with people her own age outside of the hospital for a year.

Michaelina's friends marveled at how Michaelina had changed, but it was to be expected, she had gone through so much. Michaelina had matured a bit, but mostly she became more feminine than they remembered. Anything that had been even slightly tomboyish had been removed. She wanted to dress prettier, didn't care anything about the lacrosse she used to play. She was more dependent on people than she had been, especially Courtney. She needed to fit in with her friends more than she used to. She was also much more concerned with her clothing than ever before. But none of her changes were a bad thing, she was immediately accepted by her friends who were just happy to have her back.

Dr. Zaaijer helped to find Jack a job. Jack didn't have the education for an office job, but a job at a construction site suited him quite well. The pay was good and his physical stature made the job easy for him. It didn't take too long before Jack could afford an apartment for both him and Michaelina.

Jack was putting his life in order. He wanted to be the rock of the community, strong and dependable. Jack vaguely remembered his days as an alcoholic and he never wanted to be anyone like that again. He wanted to be able to take the world upon his shoulders for his family and carry it without any problems. Once he was secure financially the next step was to find a woman to make his wife. It was important that Michaelina have a mother. That was his main concern, although he was a man and he had his own needs too. But no matter what happened he would never cheat on his wife. Of course, until he found the woman of his dreams, the woman who would be the mother to his child, he didn't mind some fun with other women he liked. Jack was such a stud now that finding women was easy for him. He had rugged good looks, a great body that belonged on a 'man' half his age and a gentlemanly disposition that made him stand out among the rest of the guys.

During one of Jack's nights on the town. He met a gorgeous woman names Alisa. She seemed rich and sophisticated. The two got to talking and hit it off. But Jack had misjudged her, she wasn't who she seemed to be. She was in fact a high-class prostitute looking for a score. When Jack found out her true nature, he left immediately. Jack couldn't afford her anyway. Neither Alisa nor Jack recognized each other from their former lives. Alisa had been Jack's wife in a previous life. She hadn't died of a heart attack as Jack and Mikie were told. Instead she was kidnapped by Dr. Zaaijer and changed from a working woman to a high-class 'working woman.' Alisa could now afford very expensive things and could live the high live, but she didn't remember ever being married. All she remembered was the life she now had.

Normally, a person such as Jack would never come into contact with a woman like Alisa, but Dr. Zaaijer arranged the meeting without either knowing.

After the summer was over, Michaelina returned to school. Dr. Zaaijer had certified that Michaelina had had tutors during her rehabilitation so Michaelina could stay in the grade with all her friends. The work that the former Jack remembered became Michaelina's best classes. Those that he hadn't remembered as much she didn't do as well in. Michaelina was worried about returning to school. She couldn't hide her feelings from her friends (or anyone else.) Her friends got together and they had one killer party to cheer her up. But she had no problem with the workload of her classes. Michaelina took dance one night a week and joined other school activities such as the swim team and the drama troupe. She tried out for the vocal group, but her voice was never the same after the accident. Michaelina still loved to sing though. Michaelina prepared for weeks before the first school dance. She was so nervous about her first dance after getting back. She wore a gorgeous white knee length dress with a sweetheart bodice. There was a lace overlay that went from her shoulders in a tank to her waist. A lot of thought went into picking out this outfit. She was proud that she picked out the outfit using her own money. She fulfilled one of her resolutions by getting several jobs as a babysitter. She loved being around young children particularly toddlers.

Her hair was held up with a scrunchy and fell to the top of her right breast. It wasn't as long as it had been, but it was still very pretty. Michaelina's makeup pretty and very well applied. Her nails all had a french tip and she wore shoes with a low heel. Even with a low heel she was taller than most of the other girls. But her eyes were bright, her smile broad, her skin smooth and pretty and she didn't have any hit of masculine muscles anywhere. Her legs were quite shapely actually. There was no doubt that she was a very pretty young woman.

She danced with as many of her school mates as would let her. She had a lot of fun at the dance. Although, sadly in grade 10, most of the boys were still too shy to ask real girls out although most of them bragged about what they would do with this girl or that.

Jack and Michaelina returned to a normal average life. Their relationship had never been better. Well it had never been good, but now it was well above average. Soon, Jack found a woman he could marry that he loved. Jack was closing in on his forties and so the engagement was brief. The wedding was planned and Michaelina took part in the planning. Michaelina couldn't be happier that her dad had found someone he loved that he could share the rest of his life with. She was in the wedding party. During the rehearsals and throughout the events that lead up the the wedding, Michaelina met a boy, Evan who was her opposite in the wedding party. They hit it off quite quickly. Michaelina was excited about the wedding but now she had another concern, she hoped that boy would kiss her. She was very nervous about this kiss. This would be her first real kiss with a boy she really liked. She was hoping that the romance of the day would propel the boy. Regardless, Michaelina gave out lots of hints, soon she would be a flirting expert.

End.
