Rating: PG!
Status: Complete!
Billy Batson, currently in Lorna Dane’s body, headed to where Alice worked, ready to see his friend, even if he was in a new body, currently. He hoped she was doing well, working in the clothing and design shop...at least he thought that was what it was.
He peeked in as he arrived, looking around for her, and curious about the shop, too.
Alice smiled as she buzzed around the shop, making sure customers were happy and everything was working out all right for everyone else. She hummed when she spotted a pretty green haired girl in the store, smiling and making her way over. “Hi, welcome to The Mirror. May I help you find something?”
Billy grinned as he saw her and realized with a start that she didn’t realize... “Ah, it’s me, Billy, Alice. I was hit by the body swap.” He smiled lopsidedly.
She just blinked. “Oh, Billy.” Moving to hug him, she smiled. “Lots of people were. I’m glad I was alone when it happened.” That’s what she figured had gone on; she must’ve been too far from someone to swap or something.
He hugged her back, then grinned at her. “I was near a friend, in a movie theater. Just blind luck, really.” He nodded, shrugging. “Mostly, I'm trying not to think about the differences, even if they are... ah, obvious.” He glanced down at the rather large rack he was sporting now.
“Lorna is good people, and I know the body doesn’t make the person, even if I freaked out for the first day or two.” And still was some.
“Oh, you’re still Billy even with the boobs,” Alice laughed. “I just mean it would be confusing. Does your back hurt? Do you want different clothes? Anything to make it comfortable.”
“I am yes. I mean, I think so?” He laughed. “Yes, ma’am. Very confusing. And a little, yes.” Then he hmmed. “That would be cool! I could buy a new outfit for this body, and then give it to her when I change back! Alice, you're a genius!”
“Oh, I just wanted you to be comfortable, sweetheart.” Alice kissed his forehead. “Come on, let’s find you something.”
Billy laughed, then and blushed. “Oh, well, okay. Okay!” he grinned and followed her. “How have you been doing? How is work?”
“I’ve been great. I love working here, and Jefferson and I get to see each other more. That’’s a win-win.” She liked his blush, and she pinched his cheek a bit. “Silly.”
He poked her lightly. “Bah. Not silly. You’re Silly.” He grinned at her. “I’m glad things are going so well. We should go have tea some time.” He nodded. He liked tea a lot.
“I’d like that.” She motioned for him to follow her, moving to look at the looser, more comfortable shirts.
Billy followed, peering along at the items. “I don’t know how to judge such things, so, I, ah, place myself in your hands?” He smiled weakly, unsure.
She picked out a few and then picked out some comfortable pants as well. “Feel like trying things on?”
Billy nodded. “Sure. I can do that. I want to try to do this right, you know?” He grinned at her. “What sort of things do you recommend?:”
“Here, take these. We’ll see how you feel in these. If your friend doesn’t like them when you switch back, which is soon, I hope - have her come in. I’ll get her something.” Alice beamed.
“Sure, okay.” He took the clothes and glanced around. “Where should I try them on?” He wanted to make sure he didn’t mess up.
Alice showed him to the dressing rooms. “Let me know if you need any help, I’ll be right here for you.”
“Okay!” He ducked in and began to change. Because of his unfamiliarity with the body, he had a couple of issues, but he managed to slide into the more loose pants and shirts, and then stepped out to show off to Alice. “How do I look?”
“You look adorable, but more importantly, is it comfortable?” She couldn’t make this less awkward, but she could help him feel as comfortable as possible.
Billy looked down and then nodded. “Actually, yes. It feels... soft. Kind of silky but not... yes.” He chuckled. “Its different from anything I have ever worn.”
“I figured you’d like it because it’s soft but loose. Sort of like a super nice t-shirt.” She smiled, nodding at the pants. “What about those?” Some girl pants were super complicated, so she’d gotten him some that would be familiar, just a button and a zip.
“They’re pretty nice.” He smiled at her. “They make my legs feel good.” He rubbed his face. it felt weird, but still interesting. “I’ve never been motivated to wear women’s clothing, but the, ah...” He blushed. “The underwear does feel nice.”
“Oh, that’s funny, I wear boxers around the house. You guys get the better underwear in my opinion.” Alice smiled. “They’re cute, I hope she likes them when you give them to her.”
“Thanks!” He hugged her tight, then bounced back into the changing room. Changing back took next to no time, and then he came out with his choices.
“You rock.”
“I try,” Alice beamed. She hugged him back in return before moving toward the register so she could ring him up.
Once he had paid, he nodded to her. “Give me a call when you are free to have tea, and we can do that, whether or not the swap thing is over.”
And then he was hugging her again and heading out.
