A Trick Before Treats: Tea Party

If there was one thing that Laurie prided herself on, it was her patience. Sure, she had had a little fun that morning making Alex, as Miss Frou-Frou, clean the house in preparation for his best friend Max coming over to play video games, but her actual plan to make the day a little more exciting? That required the utmost restraint to avoid revealing herself too soon. Thankfully, she had patience in spades. She smiled and knew it would all be worth it.

“Can we take a break before the next round?” Max asked. “I gotta piss.” Alex agreed and Laurie smiled. At long last, it was nearly time. Sure, she had influenced things somewhat by making sure that the fridge was stocked full of everything the boys liked to drink, but it still felt good to know that she had just allowed things to take their course. As she heard the bathroom door close, she grabbed just what she needed. Thankfully, Alex had not followed Max, so she would have him alone.

“Right where I want him.” She mused to her reflection as she waited by her bedroom door. She opened the door just as he opened the bathroom door and they nearly collided in the hall. “Whoops!” She exclaimed. “After you!” She laughed awkwardly, waiting for the shaggy blond boy to turn his back to her. She struck, half tossing the tiara onto his head. As if by magic, which it probably was, it planted itself perfectly on his head.

“What the?” Max said, reaching up and touching it. His pants abruptly fell to the floor, exposing his Minecraft boxer briefs. By the time they reached the floor, however, his jeans had vanished. His t-shirt began to lengthen until it covered his bottom before erupting with countless layers of frothy petticoats that kept the lower half of his underwear exposed as it transformed into a pair of rhumba panties that perfectly matched the sequined pink party dress his Avengers t-shirt had become. His slender, hairless legs shook in place as he tried to run, but the spell held him in place, his new dress rustling slightly. He turned and stared in confusion at Laurie, who smiled to see her brother’s best friend, who was practically a second little brother to her, standing there in shock, his hair and outfit those of a little girl at her fifth birthday.

“What do you think?” She asked as his black and green socks became lacy white booties in a pair of pink patent leather Mary Janes.

“What did you do to me?” He asked, his voice trembling with fright.

“I got you ready for your next game. You guys just finished a round of whatever that shooter game is, so now you two will be playing something else.”

“But”

“Shh.” Laurie said, putting her finger to his lips. “It’s a surprise for Alex.” Max stared at her, all the proof she needed that Alex had never told him of the things she had done to him over the last few months. “Now, here’s what you’re going to do”

“What’s taking him so long?” Alex wondered out loud as the main menu music restarted for the hundredth time. He looked up as he saw something moving out of the corner of his eye. “What the hell?” He exclaimed as Max came toward him, dressed like the biggest sissy he had ever seen. Princess crown, long curly hair, dress, girls underwear, everything! “Laurie!” He yelled. “What did you do?”

“I am so sorry.” Max said as he drew closer. “I can’t help it!” He grabbed Alex and kissed the shocked boy square on the lips before setting a matching tiara on his head.

“What was that for?” Alex scrubbed at his lips in disgust even as his tiara worked its magic and he soon looked almost like Alex’s twin sister.

“Aren’t you two pretty?” Laurie said.

“What a pretty dress!” The boys said to each other in unison. Their smiles immediately faded into horror, feeling betrayed by their own mouths.

“Aw, don’t look at each other like that. Thank each other.” She grinned as the boys mirrored each other’s curtsey, even as they stared at each other with absolute revulsion. “Here’s the deal, boys. You two are going to play tea party. Right here, in your pretty new dresses.”

“What a pretty dress!” They said in unison. She smiled.

“Very good. Give each other a kiss.” She chuckled as they each kissed the other’s cheek. “That’s something we need to keep even after your playtime, boys.” She said with a grin.

“Laurie!” Max complained.

“Let us go!” Alex yelled.

“C’mon, boys. It’s just a little kiss!” She grinned as they had no choice but to kiss each other again. “I think I’ve made it clear that you two are basically my dolls for the day. So, you two are going to play tea party for two hours straight, understand?”

“But”

“You can either do it here, in the privacy of the living room” she interrupted. “Or, I’ll take you two to the park and you can play there.”

“We won’t go!” Alex said. His experience with Laurie’s magical items gave him a confidence that his best friend lacked.

“Oh, you won’t? You’ve seen what those tiaras let me do.”

“I’m a princess!” Max announced with a downright girlish giggle. “Oh, my god. What was that?”

“A special something just for you.” Laurie explained. “Any time me or Alex says ti” she smiled as he winced. “That word, you’ll announce that. Just you wait until you see what Alex’s is.” She smirked at her twerp of a little brother. “Anyway, either you two can play here or you’ll go to the park, whether you like it or not.”

“Laurie”

“Do you want me to demonstrate how much control I really have? Maybe just to the mailbox and back?”

“No!” The boys said in unison. They did not know for sure, but they had seen enough to know that they would not be walking normally.

“Then what are you two dollies going to do? Pretty little dollies?”

“What a pretty dress!” The boys said to each other, clearly both on the verge of tears as they realized that had no choice.

“Well?”

“We’re going to play tea party.” They mumbled in unison. She smiled. It felt good to have two playthings now.
