Abby stood up and walked over to Tom and put
her arms around his neck and stood on her tip toes to look into his
eyes.

“I really liked them too, and I hope we can
have dinner with them or something again soon” she told him.

Tom didn’t say anything, he just stared into
her eyes, for what felt like an eternity, and she could tell that
he had something on his mind.

“Tom, what’s the matter?” she asked him,
concerned that he thought it was a bad idea for her to see his
parents again.

He leaned down and put his arms around her
waist and lifted her in the air.

“I just realized something” he said.

She put one of her hands on his cheek, since
he had hold of her and she knew he wouldn’t drop her.

“What is it?” she asked.

“I’m in love with you, more than words could
ever describe” he said in practically a whisper.

Abby’s heart started pounding as she looked
into his eyes and saw how sincere his words were. She thought for a
moment, someone loves me, and her heart fluttered.

“I love you too Thomas Murphy, Junior” She
said never taking her eyes off of his.

He smiled and lifted her higher into the air
and gave her a quick twirl, and then he lowered her back down to
his eye level and she grabbed his head and kissed him with all of
the passion she knew she was hiding inside of her. He walked
forward and lowered her onto his bed, never separating their lips
and it was at that moment, she knew she was ready.

She gave him a small push with her hand and
he stood back up, expecting her to tell him to slow down, but
instead she stood up next to him and turned her back toward
him.

“Can you please unzip my dress for me?” she
asked him.

She couldn’t see his face, but given the
silence, she guessed he was surprised.

“Are you sure?” he asked slowly, almost as
though he was scared she would change her mind.

She nodded and felt his hand slide up her
back until it had reached the zipper, and then he slowly unzipped
it. Once the zipper was all the way down, she turned back around
and smiled at him. He reached up and pulled the straps down until
the dress fell onto the floor in a black heap.

She stood in front of him in only black
panties, and a black lace strapless bra. She had never been even
this naked in front of anyone before, much less a man, and her
stomach flipped with her nervousness. He pulled her forward and
started to kiss her again, rubbing his hands up and down her naked
back.

He pulled his head away from hers and
started to kiss down her neck, sending tingles all the way down her
spine. She felt his hand stop on her bra strap, then she felt it
release, and it would have completely fallen off of her body, had
she not been pressed up against him.

She quickly held up her bra with her hand,
scared to let him see her completely naked. He pulled away from
her, and seeing her apprehensive look, started to unbutton his
shirt, pulling it away from his body in lightning speed. He knew
she was scared, since she had never done anything like this with
anyone before, so she watched as he continued to undress, trying to
make her feel better about being naked in front of him.

It didn’t take long and he was standing in
front of her in his boxers, with an obvious bulge indicating how
excited he already was. She looked up at him and nodded, letting
him know that she was okay, and he pulled down the boxers, becoming
completely naked. She looked at his manhood, having never seen one
in person before and although it looked just like the ones she had
seen in books, she knew it was his, so it felt special.

She reached out and wrapped her hand around
it, surprised at how soft the skin felt. She was even more
surprised as she felt it grow even more under her hand, and she
nearly jumped when Tom started to moan. She pulled her hand away
and put it on her bra with the other one.

“It’s okay, it’s supposed to do that” he
told her.

She nodded then took a deep breath pulling
the bra away from her body. She stood before him, exposing her
small but firm breasts. She dropped the bra to the floor and slid
back on the bed until she was able to lay her head onto his
pillows. Tom got onto the bed on his knees and made his way up to
her until he was right on top of her and he leaned in and gently
kissed her, making her skin tingle at the warm passion lying right
under the surface.

He then kissed his way down her neck until
he came to her breast where he then took it into his mouth, licking
and sucking on it until she was nearly moaning at how great it felt
to have a man touch her. He slid his hand down and pulled her
panties down her legs, until she was able to slide her feet out of
them, and he tossed them to the floor.

He then slid his hand down in between her
legs and started to rub her in places she had never even touched
herself before and she couldn’t help but squirm as waves of heat
and tingles ran from his hand, down her body, and through her toes,
making her moan at the pleasure she felt. Finally he pulled away
and came up to her and looked her in the eyes.

“
Are you ready?” he asked
her. She nodded as he positioned himself between her
legs.

She wasn’t prepared for how much it was
going to hurt, but luckily it didn’t seem to last very long. Once
they were finished Tom lay next to her and held her tight, kissing
her and telling her that it gets better. She looked over at him and
looked deep into his eyes.

“I really do love you Tom, more than I even
thought possible.”

Tom smiled, and as soon as the words were
out of her mouth she started to feel very weird, and her hand felt
hot again, as it had back at her place. She sat up in the bed and
stared at her hands, suddenly scared at how red they were. She
looked up at Tom and he had an odd look on his face, halfway
between surprise and disgust.

“What’s the matter Tom, why are you looking
at me like that?” she asked him.

He pointed at her, but couldn’t seem to get
the words he wanted to come out. She turned and got off of the bed
and walked over to the mirror by his dresser and gasped as she saw
herself. Her skin was bright red, the way her hands had looked
before, and as she watched the rest of her body turned red too. She
stood there with red skin, hair, and even eyes when she turned back
to Tom.

“What is happening to me?” she asked him in
a panic. As soon as the question was out she knew exactly what was
happening, her powers were unlocking. She yelled at Tom until he
was paying close attention to what she was saying.

“Tom, go into my purse and get my phone, I
need you to call Jasmine, right now” She said to him calmly. When
he didn’t move she started to panic.

“Now, Tom!” she yelled at him.

He scrambled out of the bed, getting tangled
in the massive blanket and fell onto the floor. She watched as he
finally untangled himself from it and ran to grab her purse and
opening it, he pulled out her phone. He flipped open the phone and
searched until he found Jasmine’s name and hit the send button.

“
Jasmine? This is Tom,
Abby’s boy friend. She told me to call you, something is wrong with
her, she is all red.”

He paused, listening, “Yes, even her eyes
are red, can you come here? I can give you directions.”

He looked surprised, “Oh, okay, thanks” he
said and hung up the phone.

“She said she’s on her way, but I didn’t
tell her how to get here” he said confused.

Suddenly Jasmine was in the room, and the
air had a glittering effect around her. Tom screamed and grabbed
himself, as he was still naked. Jasmine never once even looked over
at him; she was staring at Abby with a smile.

“Don’t be scared Abby, but you probably need
to be somewhere magical right now, so the change goes smoothly” she
told her as she walked up to her and put her arm around her.

Abby looked over at Tom, “I’m sorry, I’ll
explain everything to you soon, I have to go with Jasmine now,
okay?” she said, but they were gone before she could hear his
answer.

***

While Jasmine was taking them someplace
magical, all she could see were tiny little lights around them. It
was as though they had been swarmed by hundreds of tiny little
lightning bugs. She looked around at the lights, expecting herself
to be scared, but she was somehow calm, as if she knew it would all
work out.

Suddenly all of the lights flew away and
they were standing in the meadow with the orange flowers by the
gazebo. They walked up to the gazebo and as soon as she stepped
inside, she felt the magic inside of it. It surrounded her body in
a way that sent tingles through her, making her laugh as it started
to tickle. She sat down on the bench as Jasmine leaned over
her.

“I will be right back Abby, do not go
anywhere” she said, and then was gone in an instant.

Abby lifted her hands and looked at them,
besides them being red, she noticed that there were tiny lights
radiating around them. She looked up her arm and noticed the lights
were there too, and she thought to herself that she wished she had
a mirror to look into, and suddenly a mirror appeared in the corner
of the gazebo.

She stood up and walked over to it slowly,
hoping that it wasn’t just a figment of her imagination. As she got
close enough to the mirror to see her entire body, she gasped. Her
entire body was still an odd shade of red: her hair, her skin, even
her eyes, but now she also had little flying lights swirling around
her and for the first time actually felt them radiating from her
body.

Abby turned her head as she heard thunder in
the distance and looked up at the sky just as it started to rain.
She lifted her hands to the sky.

“I want sun!” she shouted, and as soon as
the words were out of her mouth, a bolt of lightning came out of
her left hand and disappeared into the largest black cloud, not far
from where she was standing.

She watched as the rain stopped, the clouds
separated and the sun came shining through, sending a beam of light
right onto the gazebo, instantly warming her up. She felt as the
air started to move around her and she turned back to the bench as
Jasmine appeared, in the same spot she had left, only now she had
her mother with her. Her mother turned her head to her and put her
hand up to her mouth.

“Oh Gods, she is changing” she said to
Jasmine, who nodded in response. Her mother walked up to her and
took her hand.

“It is time to show you the Other World, so
that you may finish the change” she said to her pulling her out of
the gazebo and into the field of orange flowers. Her mother looked
up at the sky and had an odd look on her face.

“
Did you conjure the sun?
It was just raining wasn’t it?” she asked her.

Abby nodded, and for the first time since
she started to change, she started to feel her nakedness.

“Yes, I just pointed to the sky and told it
I wanted some sun, and I got it.”

Her mother looked at her with new eyes, “You
are powerful already, now I am certain you were destined to be
queen” she told her, a look on her face of pure happiness.

“Now, it is time for you to learn to open
the portal into the Other World. Jasmine has already told me you
see the flowers as orange. This is a good thing, the magic is
definitely inside of you. Now I need you to go to the edge of the
flowers and pick one of the orange ones.”

She let go of Abby’s hand as she walked into
the flowers she reached down, pulling out the largest one she could
find, and walked back over to her mother. Her mother nodded her
approval.

“Very good, now I will tell you what to do.
Hold up the flower in front of your mouth and say to it, open the
door for me, Other World, as it is my right through the magic that
runs in my veins. Then blow on the flower, sending the words out,
and the portal should open for you” she explained to her.

Abby did exactly as she was told, and nearly
gasped as she blew the flower and it disappeared right out of her
hand, opening up a tall line of light right in front of her. She
looked over at her mother and after she nodded, walked into the
beam of light.

As Abby walked into the light, she was
blinded for a second, and was unable to see anything but the
whiteness of it, but she kept walking. She walked until her eyes
suddenly adjusted to everything around her. She was in a beautiful
place, and she looked around in awe at her new surroundings. There
were so many colors around her that she almost couldn’t tell where
one color ended and another began. They all blended together,
making everything literally shine in a rainbow color.

She looked out into the distance and
marveled at the tallest mountains she had ever seen, jutting up
into the clouds that were unlike anything in the mortal world. The
clouds were a shining gold, and looked too heavy to sit up in the
sky, which looked more purple than the blue she was used to. She
looked over to her left and saw, very far away, what looked like a
white castle, just like the ones you see in fairy tales.

She noticed the people around her, some were
walking and speaking softly to one another, and others were
actually flying a few feet above the ground with beautiful wings in
pastel colors attached to their backs. Every one of the women were
wearing flowing dresses in pastel colors, and she thought to
herself that she wished she was wearing a beautiful dress like that
too.

Her body became warm and she looked down and
as she watched a pastel green dress, just like the ones the other
women were wearing floated onto her body, fitting her perfectly.
She suddenly felt happier than she could ever remember before, and
grabbed the flowing skirt of her dress and danced in circles, her
bare feet practically massaged by the soft flowers underneath
her.
