Vail Ski Resort | Sunday Morning, 10/17

The Fandomites' last morning in Vail dawned cool and clear, the resort warm enough to get by with a light jacket, the slopes above frosty and crisp.

The portal back to Fandom would arrive after lunch, so now was time for packing, last-minute souvenir-shopping, or one final lift up the mountain to the wonderful land of snow-sports.

Or alternatively, freaking the heck out in your hotel room because Fandom knows no boundaries of distance or decency when it comes to attacking its current and former residents in their sleep to leave ladybits where manbits used to be, and manbits where... you get the picture.

So might the maid, if you forgot to leave the Do Not Disturb sign out.

"Tomorrow!" Karla said, nodding happily. "It should all be gone by tomorrow. Last time, males and females changed on separate days, but it only lasted 24 hours for each."

Someone was going to wake up screaming tomorrow.

And with that, Warren let go of the breath that he hadn't been aware that he was holding, visibly sagging from head to wingtip to toe with relief.

"Then really, all we have to worry about is getting back to the island without completely losing our minds, and we'll be fine, right?"

They could maybe even get away with swapping clothing! Because his coat was going to hang off of him something horrible.

Oh. And Karla had really liked the shirts she had brought along. But when considering how much she liked her tops and how much she hated seeing Warren in a harness (would that even fit him anymore?), she'd be much more okay with cutting wing slits into as many shirts as he needed.

"We can always take comfort in knowing that it isn't just us, either," Karla added with a firm nod. "Everyone's going to be at least a little freaked out about this."

Except those few people who actually liked it. Weirdos.

Seriously! Who actually enjoyed waking up like this?

"Some more than others, I suppose." Warren drew a deep breath, and then exhaled again. Sigh. "If you weren't here too, I'd probably be losing it right about now."

He didn't like when his body changed drastically almost overnight. He didn't like it at all.

"If I wasn't here, helping you not lose it, I'd probably be losing it myself," Karla said, holding Warren closer. Hmm. This reverse of how they were usually curled up was almost disconcerting. Like trying to do everything via mirror image.

"I guess I'll just have to add this to my list of things made better by sharing them with you," she added, a little shyly.

Not that 'better' in this instance actually kicked it up to 'good.'

Okay, it was difficult to stay too pouty when she was saying things that kind of made Warren want to say, 'awwww.' Even if he did have excellent lips for pouting with, at the moment.

"How long is that list now, anyhow?"

He did, he really did. In fact, when Karla wasn't internally spazzing about being a male, she was kind of noticing how excellent lots of Warren's newly adopted parts were.

Ahem.

"Pretty long, actually," she admitted. "Pineapples and curry and banana crepes and picnics, among other things."

"Room service," Warren added, breaking into a little grin in spite of himself. "We can't forget room service, now."

He was kind of stupidly fond of room service now, thanks to Karla.

Karla was going to pout, just a little. "I had so planned to call for room service," she said with a sigh. "Breakfast in bed for our last night here."

Warrern couldn't help it. He was now breaking down into a pretty crazy little case of the giggles.

"I really," he managed, "don't think either of us are in any shape to answer the door right now."

Like, at all.

Karla glanced down at her nightie again and sighed. "Noooo," she said, shaking her head quickly. Darkness, not having any hair there was both strange and oddly familiar at the same time. "If there was another little door they could just shove it through so we wouldn't have to actually see anybody, maybe but..."

"But no such luck," Warren finished. "Which is going to make getting to the portal this afternoon into a challenge, too."

Why today, Fandom? Huh?

Because it hated them.

"Maybe I'll just call up a sight shield and stay invisible all day until it wears off," Karla mused. "If you're extra-nice to me, maybe I'll create one for you, too," she added with a smile.

"That... is actually really ridiculously tempting, you know."

Which was a yes, please.

"At least until we get as far as the island, and we can get clothes that fit."

"I am absolutely stealing at least a shirt of yours," Karla decided right then and there. "Maybe some pants, too."

She probably return the pants, even, so that was like a win.

"I can bring over a sweatshirt or something of mine, too? Maybe a long skirt? Those should fit okay even if we're not the same size."

Sigh. Her boyfriend had a nicer chest than she did. Him and everybody else.

"I did pack enough pants to be able to spare a pair for the day," Warren replied, with a sideways little smile. "I don't know if my shoes will fit you, but they'd be kind of stupidly big on me. And we're going to need those, if we have to go outside today to get our portal."

Because barefoot in the snow would probably suck, otherwise.

"Shoes!" Karla groaned, facepalming. She hadn't even thought of shoes. "Maybe they'll extend the trip till tomorrow when it wears off?" she suggested hopefully. "In deference to, well, everyone?"

"We can hope?"

Wishful thinking was a beautiful thing.

"I guess if all else fails, I can try to bribe one of the bellboys into getting us something to wear."

It wasn't as though money was any object, really.

Funny how 'wishful thinking' and 'self-delusion' sometimes resembled one another.

"You know, if we're invisible, we can just sneak into a shop and leave a bunch of money on the counter. It's not even stealing if we do that."

Karla was going to get hungry soon. This dilemma had to be solved before midmorning or tragedy might strike.

She sighed and adjusted her position slightly. "You're still cuddlesome like this. Err, am I allowed to say that?"

"I think I can live with still being cuddlesome."

Really, it wasn't as though his masculine pride could get dinged any more than it already had been.

"So are you, Karla."

... Except for the stubble. That part wasn't all that snuggly at all, but he was going to do his best to ignore it.

Yeah, that stubble was there to stay until the spell or whatever faded. Karla was not going anywhere near her face with a razor. Nooo way.

"Being a male is weird," she pronounced, though she gave Warren a small squeeze in appreciation for the compliment. "Not entirely comfortable, either."

There was still some shifting going on, as she tried to find a comfortable position to sit in. Except there were things. In the way! Constantly.

Squeezes meant that Warren felt smaller still. Which meant that his wings were spreading a little bit more to compensate.

"Well, I wouldn't know about that. But then, I've been one my entire life, so maybe I'm just used to it. Being a girl is weird."

And this came with a pointed little squirm, because there were lumps of flesh on his chest and they were kind of squished up against Karla right then.

So weird.

Karla let go instantly, less because she was reading Warren's body-language--which was harder to do than usual, no surprises there--and more because she was so not ready for moving, squishing bare breasts up against her chest.

"I am so willing to trade whenever you are," she said fervently. "This is weirder than the weekends when we turn into other people entirely. At least when it's happening, I don't know how weird it is."

"... Yeah. That is pretty weird," Warren replied, maybe a little wide-eyed.

And completely not bothering to cover up his chest. While he was wearing pants, it was not generally his front that he had to worry about hiding, usually. Give him a minute, he'd twig on and wrap his arms around and blush furiously, any moment, here.

There we go.

"Yeah. So. Trading would be great."

Karla was just going to hand over a little more blanket. Or a lot more, really. Warren could feel free to wrap himself up as much as he wanted to for modesty's sake. "Do you want me to run back to my room to fetch you something?" she offered.
