Vivid Dream Reality 2

by Savannah Maun

  On the fourth day, we were introduced to two new maids called Clair and Belle. They were apprentices and learning the ropes from our maids. Belle was assigned to me. Yani or Felicia would stand back and allow her to participate. This even included our lovemaking. Initially, they were shy and uncertain, but when Vee and I started arousing each other we seemed to lose our inhibitions and they learned to join in. Hesitantly at first, but with growing confidence. At the end of our seven days, both Clair and Belle told us that they would probably not be around when we next returned but would be back when they could. That seemed a little strange as I didn't think everyone knew that we travelled between worlds. Talking to us at all was unusual for them. They had tended to be silent, which we thought was just their shyness.

  With my druid work, I was beginning to hear some words from Andi when she was talking to me, but it was not full sentences. The gist of what she was trying to say was getting pretty clear now though.

  I woke up back in the real world pretty content. It had been a wonderful week. Mum had informed us at our last dinner that all our guests had successfully been transformed. I looked around as everyone began to undo their headsets and look around themselves.

  All were happy. “Would you all mind telling us about your experiences? I would like to record it as it might help others. We can blur faces and alter voices if you wish.”

  Everyone agreed and while we were journeying back I went through all of our new elves to be. Karl and Larry were just full of hope and joy. They had a wonderful time and couldn't wait to join us after they had completed their transformations.

  Sharon had felt that it was a more spiritual experience. She had felt much more complete after her SRS but still had lingering doubts and anxieties. Now those doubts had gone. Her new body image was very different from her present one so she would need another doctor to document her as she was documenting us, but she would sort that out and was very grateful for this opportunity.

  Katherine had a smile that looked like it would never fade. Katie talked about what she had experienced, to give Katherine an idea of what was to come. Since her accident was less than a year ago, her muscles had not completely withered away, so Katie confidently told her to expect faster results than she had had.

  Simon then told us his story. Katherine had been the first transformed and it was done within a few hours of arriving. Holding her in his arms and spending time with her as her new elf self had been wonderful. When they kissed, however, he immediately knew that something was missing. The passion was gone. Over the next few days, he spent a lot of time soul searching, before he came to the decision to speak to my mum. She didn't tell him what to do but confirmed his decision. He asked her to transform him as well. He cared less about his gender than about his wife and their happiness together.

  We congratulated him and then realized that we needed to speak to all the elves about the birds and bees. Accidental pregnancy would be from stupidity, not ignorance. He said he owed us a double favour and wanted to join the Elven Nation. To start with he would sort out our accommodations, whilst he was transforming and then join us. I took him aside with Katherine after asking her nurse to leave temporarily. I checked with Andi that there were no electronic devices that were active and then swore Katherine and Simon to secrecy regarding Andi. I then explained about my electrical familiar and how we would communicate. Andi spoke to them directly through my phone and said she would help him. He was a billionaire with most of his money in property around the world. He had to rely on others to help him manage it all and Andi already knew that some were not being managed very well at all. With Katherine's injury, his mind had not been concentrating on work and some had taken advantage of that.

  Chapter 13

  When we returned to land we said goodbye to Simon and Katherine. He said he was going with the easy swap to Simone. We took Karl and Larry back to Katie's penthouse suite. Tomorrow morning Janice would come round and start the documentation. She would also bring two VDR headsets with a couple of games inserted, Lagbit's world being one of them.

  With Andi's surreptitious help we organised a shopping delivery that should cover them for a few days and a pizza for now. Larry was heavily into his meat, so it was going to be a bit of a shock, cutting it out. Thinking about it I realized that it would be better if they knew about Andi so I used the geas to order them not to reveal her presence and then introduced her. All they would have to do is speak to Andi to both organize further food drops and communicate with us.

  We then picked up our luggage from the hotel and went to the airport. Brett met us there for an early dinner and to say goodbye. He promised to carry on working on other solutions, to take the pressure off us. He also told us that we needed to contact the Fiji commander, The General, as he had phoned Brett directly. He was eager to make a deal and was ready to send his daughter to London if he had to.

  After he left we waited to board the plane. I practised communicating with Andi and was getting better at it. If I understood her correctly she had solved the resume issue but didn't want me using my headset. That sounded a bit off, so I picked up my phone and pretended to make a call and spoke to Andi.

  “Did I understand you correctly, you have solved the resume issue but I can't use my headset?”

  “Yes,” she replied. “Your headset has had its network connection disabled. In order to save your resume point, I had to connect via another headset. It would be a lot easier if you used a different headset which had a network connection. At the moment I am saving it to multiple locations on the net so you can use any headset and there is no real possibility of it being lost.”

  “That is wonderful news. Is it worth mentioning that on our website so no one will think stealing it is worthwhile?” I asked her.

  “I'm not sure I am the best judge for that. I can tell you there are three groups who are seriously considering that strategy. If we do publicize that information, I could tell you if they change their minds.”

  “Who is thinking about it?” I asked.

  “Nobody is imminently planning it. The Americans, the Chinese and the Israelis are thinking about it more seriously than the others. The drug cartels are thinking a bit more broadly and want all of you. Mexico may not be a good idea.”

  “Thanks, Andi. We will make sure to include you in our plans.”

  I chatted to the girls and we decided to release the information. There would still be pressure on me, but that was always going to be the case. At least, no one should try to steal the headset now and if they did, it didn't matter anymore. I did want to try with a different headset before I was completely certain, but I trusted Andi and if she said it would work, then it would work.

  The flight was business class and comfortable enough, but pretty boring. I did contemplate joining the mile high club, but when I wanted to Vee was deeply involved with a movie, so I left it. Later she told me the movie wasn't that good and she would have preferred my idea but the opportunity was gone.

  When we arrived at Heathrow, we did have to suffer the photographers, but we tried to smile through it. The studio had sent their team economy class and they started recording us as soon as we exited passport control. The only comment I got about my passport was that I needed a new picture. Roni had organised a stay at the Holiday Inn in Kensington. Close to Imperial College and the tube station. Simone would better sort out our accommodations but needed a few days at least.

  It was lunchtime the next day because of how long the flight was and the time zone changes. We tried to get into the right zone by having lunch in the hotel restaurant. Our party was a lot larger now that we had Sharon with us and a camera crew. None of us were that hungry as it didn't really feel like lunchtime, so most of us had salads. We then retired to our hotel rooms. No suite this time which did have the added advantage that I would have more privacy with Vee. For security, we were relying on a combination of the publicity from a camera crew and Andi's watchful eye.

  We all gathered in
my room, which was crowded when you included Sharon and the camera crew. We needed to go through the candidates if we were going to give them a chance to arrive tomorrow for our first experiments. Unsurprisingly, we had a lot of possibilities. To make life easier, Andi had ranked them for us with the priorities that we had talked about.

  Roni left us to phone The General. She came back to say we should be receiving his legal papers tomorrow and his daughter the day after. He had verbally agreed to offer the island as a free nation-state in return for the successful treatment of his daughter. We still didn't know exactly what was wrong with his daughter, but she did meet the requirement that she could use the VDR and he was aware of all the conditions that we had explained on the website. He was sending an aide with her and a security detachment.

  Andi's recommendation based on the ranking was to start entirely with security. I suspected that was a hint and when I tried to mentally communicate with her, I think she was saying yes. We knew we could manage five transformations in one game session and until we had more information from the research team that is what we would stick with. I didn't feel any worse for today's session. The first five were all either army or navy. Most were injured in one way or another, but all were still a force to be reckoned with. I didn't know why Andi had chosen these in particular, but I trusted her judgement. None of us had any objections to any of the choices, so Roni made the calls and organised for them to join us tomorrow and then stay with us.

  We told the camera crew that we had set up an algorithm to help us select the candidates based on what we were looking for. We told them it was with the help of a friend and left it at that. I guessed at some time, the name Andi would be heard, but no one should suspect that she wasn't flesh and blood.

  We then agreed to meet for dinner and separated. Roni and Katie still needed documenting, so Sharon went to sort that out which left me and Vee alone in the real world in privacy. We told the camera crew that we were going to have a lie-down and they were not invited, as politely as possible.

  I approached Vee with a glint in my eye. “I was thinking....”

  “I like how you are thinking.” She said closing the distance and kissing me passionately.

  I was enjoying the kiss so much I almost forgot what I wanted to talk about, but a random shout in the street was enough distraction for me to pull back.

  I held up one finger in a wait a second gesture. “I was thinking about that position that mum was talking about. I have been practising keeping my eyes open.”

  “You mean?” She gestured putting two holes together.

  “Well, sort of. I love the idea of having your baby, but with everything else going on, I'm not sure now is a good time. But that doesn't mean we can't practice. Just make sure we are not quite lined up. That'll be your job, by the way, since I suspect you will be on top.”

  “That sounds suspiciously like the withdrawal method. I heard that was a quick trip to motherhood.”

  “Between two women it shouldn't even be possible. We really don't know the rules very well, so I thought it might be nice to experiment. Don't you want to?”

  “Hell yes, I want to. You had me at 'I was thinking'.”

  She leaned back in for an even more passionate kiss. I kept my eyes open and stared into hers. It was difficult at that distance but we both had amazing eyesight, so it was more an effort of will. She then led me to the bed and pushed me down onto it. In no time at all we were naked, kissing, touching, rubbing and stroking. Keeping the eye contact and feeling my love reflected back made this one of the most special lovemaking ever. Somehow we managed to line up our clitoris, one on top of the other and a gentle slow pelvic movement brought us closer and closer to our peak until suddenly we were there. Then it was like we were paralyzed with pleasure. It started in our bellies and rolled slowly like a delicious wave, both down to our toes and up to our heads, then started again even stronger. After the fifth one, I thought I was going to pass out, but the next one was a bit less strong. Each one following diminished a bit. Eventually, we were able to move, but the pleasure was still gently rolling through us.

  “Were we lined up?” I asked her.

  “I don't know. I intended to move as soon as the orgasm hit, but I just couldn't. I'm sorry.”

  I hugged her tightly. “You can't say 'I am sorry' after that. It was amazing. If I get pregnant, so be it. Hell, it was worth it.”

  “Wait until childbirth before you say that,” Vee said wryly.

  “Wait until I hold our child in our hands before you disagree,” I replied. “I guess we will know in a couple of weeks.”

  “We have made a bit of a mess.” The sheets were soaked underneath us. “Lucky we are in a hotel. I'll call housekeeping,” she said.

  Chapter 14

  The next two weeks were concentrated on work. Imperial College and Professor Baldwin set up a room and eight lounge chairs. Next to each was a plethora of wires leading to machines. We brought our headsets with us each day as we didn't trust the security. Each day, when we took our five candidates, we all had these patches attached to our heads before the headset went on. The only information they wanted from us was what conditions we were treating and if any had been unsuccessful.

  On our own security front, of the first five candidates, Dave, was a Major in the army, before being forced to retire. He had prostate cancer, aggressive and non-responsive to chemotherapy. He was still mobile and active, but with a life expectancy of less than a year. He was a first-class commander and Andi thought he would make an excellent head of security.

  My main worry was turning these very manly men into women. I knew from Andi that she had taken that into account. When I had a moment of privacy I quizzed her about it. Her criteria was looking for men who didn't fit the usual mould. Take the Major for example, on his private computer he logged on to a transgender website and read stories from there. He never registered but logged on as a guest. There was something about all the men that Andi chose that made her think that they would be a good fit for our organisation and take the transformation well.

  Each day Katie and Roni changed a bit more. Katie was the most noticeable because she grew so tall and filled with so much muscle. Roni was just as happy with her changes. They had to take trips to Belladonna every few days for a new wardrobe as they were changing so much. Sharon was monitoring it all. She had a lot of people to document and more each day as well as visit her own documenter. Fortunately, after her first night's sleep, most of her pain and discomfort disappeared and she had a lot more energy. After the first week, she requested either someone to help her or another doctor to legally document the changes.

  Since we were covering a wide range of diseases and injuries, we needed access to an MRI machine to cover the effect of the transformation on the different conditions. Imperial College was very accommodating and organized that for us, as long as they were able to publish the results. This meant Sharon had to be involved with other doctors and researchers.

  Everything was unofficially being published by the camera crew anyway. Their show was a big hit. Shown initially in both America and the UK, but now was being published internationally with subtitles. I thought it a bit boring myself, but people liked to see the dramatic changes that were taking place and the delight with the results. They did conduct interviews with different candidates, both before and after the treatment. The joy and happiness on their faces made for great television drama.

  Most of our discussions were about which candidates and updating the website, requesting different qualities depending on what our new head of Human Relations wanted. Maria, our new HR head, was kicked out of a large multinational company when she transitioned. They didn't call it that, but it was clear. She was probably the most stressed of us, trying to juggle our wants and needs. She had to travel from Texas, so she was in the third group. After appropriate safeguards, we introduced her to Andi and they worked together to produce our lists. Maria did decide one rule that we all had to agre
e to. The use of different pronouns was becoming very awkward. We had lots of men who were becoming women, but it didn't initially look that way. She said, regardless of their name, if they dressed as a man, then they would be treated that way and the same if they dressed as a woman, they would be treated as one.

  We did manage to get some privacy, but Dave, soon to be Davina, was not very happy with our security and was posting a guard directly outside our door. He was also liaising with Simone about accommodations, with the difficulty of not knowing how long we were going to be here or where we would go next. The first time we did Taigoa, I wouldn't say he scoffed at the form, but, I could see he didn't think much of it. When we did our sparing his interest ticked up a notch and when Katie needed someone to spar with, the results made him very interested.

  Katie went with us for each trip to Lagbit's world, because she liked spending time with Ash and Holly. She admitted that she had the occasional liaison with another interested party, but never Ash, Holly or Kara. She knew from our talks that if she did, they would have to leave and she loved the martial arts training she was getting. Kara was part of the social group but wasn't into weapons training. Ash and Holly both pushed Katie hard to improve her skill with spear, shield and sword. Without realizing it, she probably was a bit of a ringer.
