I am Baaack! Part 1

It was spring, a time of rebirth, it was the new millennium, and SHE WAS FREE! "Look out everybody, Momma's back in town!" And the first thing Rose, aka Nikki Mitchell, thought was, 'I've got to get the hell out of these frumpy uncomfortable MEN'S clothes!' She quickly stripped naked, noting while looking in the mirror that Ross was not entirely gone; although the equipment hadn't worked for quite awhile, it was still there. She would have to decide rather quickly what she wanted to do about that. The little bit of Ross that was still in her mind cringed.

As part of Ross's unsuccessful struggle to get back to being Ross, there were no female clothes in the office, but there was a somewhat unisex sweatsuit. Rose left her breasts bound for the time being, till she could get a decent bra and put it on. She would have to go shopping, but she needed to sit down with a cup of coffee and regroup first; her long delayed recognition of her female self did not in the least, she reflected, affect her plans for Louise and Edwina. She refused to think of them as Lou and Ed, that was too painful. She poured herself a cup of coffee from the coffee maker in the corner, and settled into her chair behind her desk. 'Amazing,' she thought, looking at her chintz curtained office through newly disillusioned eyes, 'how feminine this is. Poor Ross, after being me, he couldn't create a macho office even when he tried.' She settled back, and let her mind roll back four years to when she had been Ross, and had not yet become Rose.

Chapter 1: Memories of the way we were

Ross had been so happy to get the job at Transformation Systems, doing the kind of computer work he really liked and getting paid much more for it than he had at his old job. More than the job, though, he was happy to have found such good friends - and lovers - as Louise Edwards, the company M.D., and her secretary, Edwina Porter. Ross had had lovers before, forceful women who had taken the shy, somewhat effeminate young man under their wings, but Lou and Ed were different, real friends, or so he'd thought.
