Little Ms TG pageant part 1

“Morning mom.” ten year old Scotty Reber said coming down for breakfast one morning.

“Oh...good morning dear.” His 38 year old mother Rachel Reber said getting her coat on and getting ready to leave.

“Is something wrong mom?” Scotty asked.

“No...just a little anxious about my flight.” Rachel said.

"You're not leaving again are you?" Scotty asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to England for a week." Rachel said.

"What?!" Scotty cried. "But you promised you'd take Josh and I to laser tag this weekend!"

"Yeah, I know honey but plans got changed." Rachel said. "An important client is in England and I can't turn this offer down."

"I wish you had more time to spend with me." Scotty said.

"I know dear." Rachel said. "Look, how about next weekend, we go out and so something together? And you can pick."

"Really?" Scotty asked.

"You bet sweetie." Rachel said.

“How long will you be in England for?” Scotty asked her.

“Just a week.” Rachel said. “But Mrs. Jenkins is going to be staying here with you. She'll take you to soccer practice tomorrow as well.”

“When’s Mrs. Jenkins coming?” Scotty asked.

“In about an hour.” Rachel replied. “Now I gotta go. I’ll be back in a week. Love you.”

And she kissed her son goodbye and walked out the door.

Scotty sighed. His mom was busy all time and he rarely got to spend time with her. She went to England almost every month, and was there sometimes for weeks. He was also sad because his father had died about a year ago.

But Scotty didn't know something about his mother...at least not yet. She wasn't a realtor.

On Rachel's way to the airport, she called her assistant, Ivan Fritz Gore.

“Hey Ivan, it’s me Rachel.” Rachel said.

“Rachel, where the hell are you?” Ivan cried. “You said eight thirty sharp!"

“Ivan, Ivan I know.” Rachel said. “I’m sorry, I overslept and I had to think of something to tell my kid about where I was going."

“He still doesn't know your real job huh?” Ivan asked.

“You know we're forbidden to tell anyone about the organization” Rachel said. “He still thinks I’m a Realtor."

"You Americans always come up with the worst excuses." Ivan said.

"Ivan!" Rachel cried.

“Well hurry! The flight to England leaves in one hour. The next flight isn't till tomorrow and we'll miss the contest, and Cheryl will win again! And become president!"

“Don’t worry. I’m not gonna let that foxhole take me down this time!” Rachel said. “This time, I’m winning! I'm gonna become president!”

“Just think: You'll win the prize and become  president of the organization, and I'll finally become a ..."

“Ivan, let’s talk when I get there? Okay?” Rachel said.

“Um....sure.” Ivan said and hung up.

You probably now want a backstory on the characters. Rachel Reber was NOT a realtor like her son thought she was. She really a young scientist working for an organization called “Government funded science avoidance Program" or the GFSAP. YOu see, in recent years the British government had been ruthlessly taxing people in the UK for medical treatment which several thought was unfair. So a man by an unknown name who had an intelligence level very high thought of a secret organization that would help people get medical treatment for reasonable prices through means which were unbelievable (and not government approved, so they kept it a secret only for a few people, but it still made them lots of money). The organization consisted of some of the smartest people on earth who worked to invent new ways for people to get medical help without taxes. Rachel, her late husband James and Cheryl were the only Americans in the organization...more info on that later. Rachel and her husband James were the leaders of a certain branch of it, but James had mysteriously died a year ago, leaving her the sole leader. Rachel was forbidden to tell anyone who wasn't a member about the organization and that included her son Scotty, whom she told was a realtor.

Now every year, there was a contest, which was kind of like "The Nobel Prize" only for the organization Rachel was desperate to win the contest ever year, but always came in second place to Cheryl Pouckett, the leader of another branch of the organization. She was incredibly snooty and arrogant and was especially mean to Rachel since she was the only serious threat to her. Now this year, the president of the organization announced he was retiring, so the grand prize in the contest was presidency of the organization. Everyone was determined to get the role, but none were as determined as Rachel and Cheryl. Each one planned to remove the other from organization for good.

She got an idea one evening from Ivan. Ivan you see was a transgender homosexual and revealed while Rachel and him were going out as friends that he was planning to get a sex change operation. Rachel was surprised but said supported his decision if it made him happy. Then she thought of something: maybe she could make a sex changing machine! Ivan liked the idea, thinking it would be much easier than surgery. So she and her team worked day and night and invented a machine that would completely reverse the gender of a person in just a few minutes! And best of all, it could be reversed as well in case they didn't want it! The machine was in their laboratory in England (which was an old watch tower). The only thing it needed now was a special chip which Rachel had just finished inventing and was planning to transport to England.

She arrived at the airport, parked and found her gang of scientists waiting for her by the gate. In addition to IVan, there were two other scientists who worked for her called Dr. Henry Peterson and Dr. Julius Moritz.

“Hello guys!” she exclaimed. “I am so sorry I was late! I slept in and....”

“You got the chip right?” Dr. Peterson asked.

“Yes, I got it right in this safe.” Rachel said happily.

"Oh boy! I finally get to fulfll my dream!" Ivan declared.

So the gang got on the flight and set off for England. When they arrived there, they headed for an old abandoned watch tower where the experiment was to take place.

"Well here we are guys." Rachel said. "Time to set up."

So the gang got to work preparing the equipment.

"You know, this machine reminds me a lot of Frankenstein." Dr. PEtrson said.

"I know, I made it like that on purpose." Rachel said. "Love the movie. How bout you?"

"Naw, too dated." Dr. PEterson said.

"Okay, bring the ape in." Rachel said.

Peterson and Moritz carried a male chimpanzee in a cage. Rachel applied it a sedative, and she and her gang bandaged it up to protect its skin from the flashing lights. They straped it to the table.

"Okay boys, is everything ready?" Rachel asked her team.

"Sure is." Ivan said eager to see if this machine would work.

"Alrighty boys let's move!" Ivan sprang up power supplies and completing last-minute connections. Rachel herself moved quickly fine-tuning the equipment and making adjustments in power levels.

"Moritz, hit the button!" Rachel commanded.

Dr. Moritz did so and an opening in the machine, which was up in the roof opened up.

"Okay, Ivan, pull the switch!" Rachel said somewhat like a mad scientist.

IVan did so and the massive electrical machines sprang to life, sparks flying. Small bursts of energy leapt from electrode to electrode.

Rachel pulled the lever controlling the pulley system. While Dr. Peterson kept an eye on the electrical readings, Rachel slowly pulled the lever, sending the table straight up toward the opening in the machine. Higher and higher it went.  The table cleared the opening, and then it ;was in fully in the giant machine.

"Okay, Ivan, full power!" Rachel yelled.

"Ivan hit a button and the machine sprang to life sending a powerful green rays in the body. IT shook and shook and though unconciouss was shaking like insane! Then a green gas was poured into the nostrils of the the ape, and the shaking slowly decreased. Then another ray struck the body, this time orange, and the green gas was applied again. This process was continued for a while

Below, Rachel stared up, her eyes glittering with the hope that she would win the prize and become in charge of the organization and Ivan looking hopefully he would finally become a woman. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Moritz just stood there, not sure what to think. When the body had been in the machine long enough, Rachel pulled the lever in the opposite direction and opposite direction and lowered the table down to the lab floor. Ivan turned off the machinery and everyone rushed to the ape. There, on that stainless-steel operating table, was the gruesome result of her many months of hard labor.

"Remove the bandages." Rachel ordered. They were removed.

"Rachel went to examine the ape. Then she grinned.

"It worked!" she screamed "The penis is gone! The penis is gone! The machine works! I did it!"

Everyone applauded her.

"I'm gonna win the contest for sure and become the new president! And we'll finally be rid of Cheryl once and for all when I'm in charge!" Rachel declared proudly.

"And I can finally become a woman!" Ivan cried. "I won't need to pay for surgery after all! So long penis!"

"Not yet Ivan." Rachel said. "Not till we win the contest."

"Awww..." Ivan said.

“So now what should we do?” Dr. Moritz asked.

“Let’s go rub it in Poucket’s big fat ass!” Rachel suggested. “She’s staying at the Radisson Blu Royal Viking!”

Meanwhile, back in America, Scotty was about to make an achievement of his own.

"Scotty, Scotty pass it here!" his teamate George cried.

But Scotty realized there was an opening and he kicked it and they won the game!

Everyone cheered happily!

"Reber, great job!" the soccer coach said.

"Thanks coach." Scotty said proudly.

"Scotty, you're a natural!" Scotty's best friend and fellow team player Josh cried.

"You're amazing!" A girl called Elizabeth who Scotty liked said.

Scotty grinned. Everyone was praising his soccer skills and cheering.

Soon all the parents came to see their boys.

Scotty was so excited to see his mom! She'd be so proud!

While all the other parents were hugging their children, Scotty looked for Rachel...then he remembered she wasn't there! He sighed sadly.

"You okay Reber?" the coach asked.

"I'm fine sir." Scotty said. "just a little tired."

He sat down. Josh sat beside him.

"You wish your mom was here don't you?" Josh asked.

"No, I'm not a mama's boy." Scotty said very unconvincingly.

"Scotty, you can talk to me. I'm your best friend." Josh said.

"Okay, maybe I do little bit." Scotty said sadly. "But that's just cause I barely see her anymore. Ever since my dad died, she's been working like crazy...I just wish that...."

He then froze. Josh and Scotty's classmate Janet was walking by. Scotty had loved her since kindergarten...but she didn't seem to notice him.

"Scotty, give it up." Josh said. "She's never going to notice you."

But SCotty was already on his way.

"H...hi Janet." he said.

"Oh. Hey Reber." Janet replied.

"You....see me make the big move in the game?" he asked.

"Yes. Look, I can't talk. I...gotta go with Eric." she said.

Eric was a kid in their class whom was handsome but a jerk.

"What does she see in that jerk?" Scotty asked Josh.

"A good guy apparently." said Josh. "Face it, you just don't know how to win girls Scotty."

"If only I could find out what they like..." Scotty said.

"Scotty, time to go home." Mrs. Jenkins said.

"Coming." Scotty said following her. "Come over tomorrow. We'll talk then."

They got in the car and drove off.

Back in England, Rachel and her gang headed to Cheryl's own lab and knocked on the door. When Cheryl answered, she frowned.

“Reber? What are you doing here?” she asked.

“Here to take you down Pouckett!” Rachel grinned.

“When are you just going to admit that you’re a retard and I’m a genius?” Cheryl asked. “You haven’t won against me once! And you won’t this year either. I'm going to become president, and when I do, I'm removing you and your team of dopes from the organization!"

“Are you sure about that?.” Rachel asked slyly. "You may be surprised by what I have this year for the contest!"

"It'll suck just like your other inventions." Cheryl said, but there was uncertainty in her voice.

"See ya!" Rachel grinned and her gang left.

"Who was that?" Dr. Anthony Samson, Cheryl's righthand man asked.

"Rachel and her team of stooges." Cheryl said.

"You're gonna beat them Cheryl." Dr. Samson said.

"I don't know. Rachel always comes so close to beating me every year,...and i think she might actually do it this time!" Cheryl cried. "Well, we've got to stop her! I've got to have that position!:

"You know she just recently lost her husband." one of her scientists said. "She's still..."

"Big deal! I lost my husband years ago, and I turned out fine!" Cheryl snapped. "Oh John, what a great guy!"

"By the way, all the money you've borrowed for inventions from the organization president is due in a week." Dr. Samson said,

"How much is it? 100 bucks?" Cheryl asked.

"Uh no....it's 20 grand." Dr. Samson said.

"20 GRAND?!" Cheryl screamed. "That can't possibly be right!"

"It is Cheryl." Dr. Samson said grimly. "Your account says you owe that much. And you know the punishment for not being able to pay a loan on time."

"Does the president know yet?" Cheryl asked terrified.

"No, not yet. He hasn't check according tot he computer." Dr. Samson said.

"Well, let's see how that bitch Rachel owes. I bet she owes 100 grand!" Cheryl said. "Hack her account and see."

Dr. Samson did so.

"Um...it says here she owes nothing." Dr. SAmson said.

"NOTHING?!" Cheryl screamed."She hasn't borrowed ANYTHING?! OH that little..." then she stopped.

"What's up?" Dr. SAmson asked.

"Samson, I got an idea!" Cheryl grinned. "An idea to get rid of Rachel once and for all and get us out of debt! Bring the computer here! I have some work to do!"

LAter that evening, Rachel and her gang were at a bar drinking and having fun.

“You know guys, I’ll give you all credit for what you all did. You were all big helps to me.” Rachel said.

“Well you’ve been a wonderful friend to us Rachel.” Dr. PEterson said.

“When can I use the machine Rachel? I'm so excited to become a lady!" Ivan cried.

"As soon as we when the prize, I'll make you one!" Rachel said.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing Ivy?" Dr. PEterson asked.

"I sure do. I've been trapped in the wrong body since I was a little kid. I wanted a sex change operation all my life, but could never afford one. But now I don't need one! Just think, in a week I'll be Ivanna!".

All of a sudden, there was a beeping on their watches

"IT's the president, he wants to see us." Rachel said.

So the drove to headquarters to meet him.

Yes, Rachel come on in. Alone." the president ordered.

Rachel came in and sat down.

"How are you sir?" Rachel asked.

"Fine thank you." the president said. "But I'm afraid I have news for you."

"What's that?" Rachel asked.

"Rachel, my computer says you owe me 20,000 dollars in money that you borrowed from me." the president said. "It's time to pay up."

"WHAT?!" RAchel cried. "But...I didn't borrow that much!"

"IT says here you did." the president said. "And you know the punishment for being unable to pay debts here in the organization?"

Rachel sighed. It was to be locked in a detainment cell.

"Sir please! YOu can't do this! I didn't borrow any moneY! And I have a ten year old boy to raise!"

"You should have been more careful Rachel." the president said sadly. "I'm sorry to have punish you, but you were all warned the consequence of this. You have one week to pay the debt, or you'll be going into the debtors vault! Now good day!'

Rachel left the room terrified.

"Rachel, what happened?" Ivan asked. She told them.

"WHAT?! THAT'S HORRIBLE!" Dr. Moritz cried.

"You didn't borrow that much money!" IVan cried. "you must have been framed!"

“Cheryl!” Rachel cried. “I bet she’s the one who hacked their computer and changed my settings!”

“Why would she do something so horrible?” Dr. Moritz asked.

“Cause she doesn’t want to take any chance of me winning the contest. She HAS the be the winner and I’m the only threat she has.” Rachel said.

“What do we do?” IVan asked. “We have no proof you’re innocent.”

“We could get the money to pay the debt somehow.” Dr. Moritz suggested.

“How can we earn twenty grand in one week?” Rachel asked.

“Did I hear you folks say you needed twenty grand?” a voice said.

The gang turned to see a handsome looking man.

“Who are you?” Rachel asked.

“Carter Aikman.” he said. “Manager of the little miss Talent Beauty pageant. If you need the money, you could enter you daughter in the pageant ma’am. The grand prize is 20 grand for the parents and one prize of any choice for the girl that’s within 10,000 dollars.”

“Thanks for the offer, but...” Rachel started.

“Wait a minute.” Ivan interrupted. “What exactly are the qualifications the kids must have?”

“Well, the girl must be ages 8-14, and in addition to beauty, the girl must have a beautiful dress, a swimsuit, and must perform a special trick and sing a song.”

“We’re in!” Ivan cried excitedly.

“Ivan, what are you...” Rachel asked.

“Shhh. I’ll explain later.” Ivan said whispering.

“Just sign up 24 hours prior to contest, which is in 96 hours, so you have 72 hours to enter. Here’s my card.” and he left.

"I'm going to enter the pageant!" Ivan cried.

"What?" Rachel asked confused.

"Use the machine to make me woman and I'll enter that pageant and win us the money!" Ivan cried.

"Ivan...the pageant is for children." Dr. Petrson pointed out. "You're a grownup."

"Oh yeah...." Ivan said disappointedly.

"Guys, thank you for trying to help, but I don't think there's really anything that we can do." Rachel said glumly. "I'd better start thinking about what I'm gonna tell Scotty. He's gonna be so..."

Ivan's eyes widened.

“Your boy Scotty is an excellent singer, correct?"

“Oh yes.” Rachel said. “You should have heard him when he played Oliver in “Oliver the musical”. He’s an amazing singer.”

“And he’s talented too right?” Ivan asked.

“Yes, he’s a pretty good dancer.” Rachel said. “But what does this....”

"Rachel...I have a notion." Ivan said. "And I'd like you to hear me out."

"Okay..." Rachel said confused.

"What if...instead of me....we used the machine on your kid Scotty..and had HIM enter the beauty pageant and win us the money!"

Rachel's jaw dropped.

"Are you insane?! We are NOT using the machine on my boy!" Rachel cried.


“But Rachel...” Ivan started.

"No! MY son is all male! No one is gonna feminize my boy!" Rachel said

“Rachel, you may not have a choice.” Dr. Moritz said. “There’s no other way to get the money. Except the lottery maybe. You’ll go to cell if you don’t get it.”

“But my son...” Rachel started.

“Rachel, if you don’t get the money, not only will Scotty be separated from you for most of his childhood, but Cheryl will beat you again. This time for good.” IVan pointed out.

Rachel thought for a moment. She did not want to use her sex changing machine on a kid, let alone her child....but Ivan did have some good points. Scotty was very talented and would likely win the money and get her off the hook. And she realized Scotty was also still grieving over the loss of his dad and the news that his mom was going to jail would probably traumatize him even more. He would now have no parents to take care of him. She could not bear to let that happen to her boy. And she also was not willing to let Cheryl get away with framing her and get the presidency.

"Well..." Rachel said. "Okay. I'll ASK him. But we WON'T force him....Oh God, I must be insane."

“I’m proud of you Rachel.” Ivan said.

So the gang flew back to the states and drove home.

Rachel sighed. She could hardly believe she was gonna ask her son to do this!

“Rachel, you’re home early!” MRs. Jenkins said.

“I know, I know, it’s a long story.” Rachel explained. “Where’s Scotty?”

“He’s upstairs playing video games with his friend Josh.” she said.

"You can go home now Shaunna." Rachel said. "I'll mail you your check."

Once she left, Rachel sighed.

"I cannot believe I'm doing this..." Rachel said. "Most mothers just have to ask their kids for money....or for help watering the plants...I have to ask my kid to get a sex change....I've got to be the worst mom on the planet."

"Does Scotty know about sex change operations?" Ivan asked.

"Good god no!" Rachel said. "He's only a little boy. He's going to need a delicate explanation. I gotta make sure I say it just right."

So Rachel headed upstairs. Her team tried to follow, but she stopped them.

"Stay down here guys. I need to get him alone." Rachel said.

“I win Smash Bros again!” Scotty cried.

“You are just unbeatable..” Josh said.

"Well that's cause this is the only one I have." Scotty said. "My mom keeps promising me she'll get me the new ones, but she never does."

"Scotty, stop pouting." Josh said. "You're actually lucky. My parents are home all the time and they nag and smother me to death."

"But my mother is almost always busy!" Scotty cried. "And when she is home, she usually just makes phone calls! Gosh, I don't think I even REMEMBER the last time we did anything together!"

"What does she do for a living?" Josh asked.

"Oh she's a realtor." Scotty said. "She has a lot of business in England for some reason."

"Well why don't you ask her for some time together?" Josh said.

"I keep asking her, but she never agrees. It's like I'm invisible to her...God I wish I could do something with her...something big...before school starts again. I wanna enter fifth grade doing something incredible. Cause my life has been such a bore."

"I'm sure she cares about you Scotty." Josh said. "Maybe she's just finding her place right now. So you figured out how to win over Janet yet?"

"No." Scotty said. "And Eric came by and said that if I ever tried to woe his girlfriend again, he'd beat the living snot out of me!"


Rachel was listening. She felt sad. She really hadn't been paying much attention to her son...and was doing so now cause she needed him. She realized she had to change that...but that was a worry for later...

"She knocked on the door.

"Hello?" Scotty called.

"It's me Scotty. May I come in?" Rachel asked.

“Mom?” Scotty asked. "Sure."

She entered.

"What happened? Did you sell all your houses early?" Scotty asked.

“N-not quite.” Rachel said. “Josh, could you please go home? I need to talk to Scotty alone.”

“Sure Mrs. Reber.” Josh said. “See ya Scotty.”

“Mom, what’s going on?” Scotty asked.

“Let’s go in the living room and chat.” she said.

They both headed down there.

Scotty noticed his mothers gang of scientists downstairs. They were eating.

“Mom, who are those guys?” Scotty asked.

“It’s...I’m going to explain it to you in just a second.” Rachel said. “Let’s sit down and talk.”

“Am I in trouble?” Scotty asked. “I know my grades were a little shakey in school this year, but...”

“OH no, you;re not in any kind of trouble sweetie.” Rachel said. “I just need to ask you a favor.”

“Um...sure. What do you need?” Scotty asked somewhat puzzled.

“Well...it’s...kind of a big one sweetie.” Rachel said.

“A REAL big one.” Ivan added.

“Ivan, let me handle this please.” Rachel said.

Scotty looked puzzled.

“Scotty dear, I haven’t been totally honest with you about my life.” Rachel said. “You see, I’m not a realtor. I’m a scientist. and this is my team. We work for the Government funded science avoidance program or the GFSAP."

"What?!" Scotty asked surprised.

"L-let me explain this to you in a way you'll understand. You see, years ago, the British government started charging people through the roof with taxes for medical stuff, and people can't always afford it. The outcry got so bad, that a man whose name we actually don't know decided to started a program that would secretly help people in the UK with medical help through means and ideas which you would never believe were possible. He recruited some of the worlds greatest scientists. Including your father and I...

"Why didn't you ever tell me?!" Scotty asked shocked and a little betrayed.

"IT was forbidden for us to tell anyone who did not work for the organizarion." Rachel explained. "You see, it was an illegal organization. Since we did this to help people get stuff without being taxed, we didn't tell the government about it and didn't get a license to run the business, which is against the law....not to mention our treatments were not approved medically either...so we had to keep it a secret. We'd be kicked out if we did. Your father actually did want to tell you about it...he felt it was wrong of us to keep it from you...so we were going to tell you on the night....that he died..."

"Dad worked for this organization too?" Scotty asked.

"Oh yes, he was the leader of this branch along with myself." Rachel said

"And THAT'S why you've been working so much lately!" Scotty cried. "Because you've had to run the organizarion on your own!"

"Exactly!" Rachel cried.

Scotty was surprised. This was a lot to take in!

“Honey come here.” Rachel said offering a hug. “I know you’re upset, but it was for your safety.”

"Well...thanks for telling me now." Scotty said. "But why are you telling me though?"

"Well...we'd need to...." Rachel said. She was having trouble getting the words out.

"need to what mommy?" Scotty asked.

"Scotty...first of all, this is totally optional." Rachel said. "And also, I would never ask you to do this if the situation was not so severe.....but....only if you are willing to....we'd need to......"

"Go on and say it." Scotty said.

"Turn you into a girl....temporarily..." Rachel said.

"Scotty was dumbfounded.

"Turn me....into a GIRL?!" Scotty cried. "Why?"

"Let me explain." said Rachel. "First, let me tell you how I joined the organization. When your father and I were about your age, the two of us and a girl named Cheryl Poucket were best friends and the presidents of the science club in our school. We even went to college together taking a science major. Well one winter, we were in England for a science convention when we acidentally uncovered the headquarters to the organization and found out about it. We all wanted to join, but the president said that only British people were allowed. But we threatened to expose them and he let us in. We became the three peson heads of a certain branch. For a little while, we got along fine, but Cheryl was determined to win the yearly contests and get noterity...she had no respect for nature or the people she treated...she just wanted money and fame. Finally, she made a hacking and bugging device which she planned to use to steal information from other scientists and use their invention. Finally, your dad and I had enough of her and told her she needed to stop once and for all. But she refused and so your dad had to choose one of us. He chose me. So Cheryl went off to start her own branch of the organization, taking most of our team, save for these three guys. while your dad and I remained. Cheryl won the contest every year, but your dad and I came so close to beating her every year….and then last year…."

"Dad died." Scotty said sadly.

"That's right." said Rachel. "Welll..."

"Wait a minute." said Scotty. "I have a question."

"Yes?" Rachel asked.

"If this organization is in England, why don't we live there?" Scotty said. "Then you wouldn't have to travel so much."

"How did dad die really?"

"He was murdered." Rachel said. "WE aren't sure who did it..."

"I bet it was that bitch Cheryl." Scotty said.

"Don't use that language Scotty." Rachel said. "So anyway, the president has announced retirement and said that the winner of hte contest this year will take his place. So all of us have been competing like crazy.   Cheryl got into a huge debt while trying to make the best invention. Now in the GFSAP, the punishment for borrowing money you can't pay back is to be used for mutation experiments... Now Cheryl somehow managed to alter our accounts, so it would look like I owed the money, and she was off the hook."

"Why don't you just tell that president guy that you're innocent." Scotty said.

"We have no proof sweetie." said Rachel.

"So...why do I have to turn into a girl to help you?" Scotty asked.

"There's a beauty pageant coming up that offers the exact amount of money we need to pay the debt." Rachel said,

"And you want to enter me in that and...why did you even build a sex changing machine anyway? Who would want something like that?"

"Scotty, this is some delicate information I'm going to tell you. It's not something most mothers would tell their kids, so don't tell any of your friends about this..."

"I'm listening." Scotty said.

“Well son, I know that we just had the talk about sexual innercourse...now do you know what a transgender is?"

Scotty shook his head.

“Well....son you see everyone is born differently...some are born smart, some are born strong...and some people feel they're born....in the wrong body...a transgender is basically someone who has the mind of the opposite sex.

"You mean like a homosexual?” Scotty asked.

"You know about homosexuality?" Rachel asked surprised.

"Duh. Everyone in my school does mom." Scotty said.

Well..kind of." Rachel said. "Homosexuals are always attracted to the opposite sex, but that does not necessarily mean they are feminine in their personality...now transgender, are really people who have the brains of the opposite gender of the body they're in....so in the early 50s, a special kind of surgery was invented to change the gender into that which they think like."

“Are you serious?” Scotty asked. This was hard for a ten year old to understand!

“Yes.” Rachel said. “Well... not quite...the surgery is basically plastic surgery to alter the body and removing the ...you know what. It's to make you LOOK like a lady, but you aren't ACTUALLY one...I know it's hard to understand, but you're very young to be knowing this stuff..and my right hand man Ivan is a transgender and he said he was getting an operation for this...so I decided to see if I could invent a machine that could REALLY change someone's sex...we spent several months reasearcing it...and we found a way to do so: the sperm that fertilizes women is xx while men's are xy...this machine alters the sperm that fertilizes the person into chromosome of the gender they wish. So the choice is yours."

"Do...do I really have to do this?" Scotty asked.

"I will not force you dear." said Rachel. "But...it would be very helpful though...."

"Can...can I think this over?" Scotty asked. "In my room?"

"Of course dear." said Rachel.

Scotty nodded and headed upstairs and laid down on the bed. He stared up at the ceiling....this was too freaky! He wanted to help him mom out...but being turned into a girl?! He thoguht and he thought...not sure what to say. Then he realized something: maybe if he were a girl, he could go undercover and figure out what girls like and how to win Janet over!

Scotty came downstairs and nodded.

“Scotty....I....don’t know what to ay...” Rachel said happily. “This is the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for me in their life!”

“UH...you're welcomed." Scotty said. "At least I'll be able to spend a bunch of time with you now!"

“Oh Scotty.” Rachel said sadly. "Look, I know you feel like I've been ignoring you....but a really do love you sweetie! But I have been a lousy mother to you....but no more! I'm gonna be there for you....when we get back, I promise, I'll spend time with you...I'll do a better job with m schedule and...I promise!"

“Well let’s go back to England tomorrow!” IVan suggested. “I’ll book our tickets.”

“Scotty, meet my team of scientists.” Rachel said.

“Hello Scotty, I’m Ivan Fritz Gore, your mothers right hand man.” Ivan said friendly.

“Hey, your name sounds like...” Scotty started.

“Igor, I know.” Ivan said. “And my middle name is Fritz, the trope maker. It’s just a coincidence.”

“I’m Dr. Julius Moritz.” Stan said. “Your mom’s told us so much about you Scotty.”

“I’m Henry Peterson .” another doctor said.

“Scotty, for agreeing to help us out, I’ll let you have whatever you want for dinner tonight.” Rachel said.

“Pizza.” Scotty said.

Rachel ordered some and they ate.

“You know Scotty, you remind me so much of your dad.” Dr. Moritz said.

“You knew my father?” Scotty asked.

“Oh yes. He was a scientist just like your mother.” Dr. PEterson said. “He and your mother were our leaders.”

“How did my father really die?” Scotty asked. "My mom said he died in a car crash. That's not true I'm guessing."

“He was murdered.” Rachel said. “We found him dead in the laboratory. Someone had poisoned him.”

“Who?” Scotty asked.

“We don’t know.” Rachel said. “And we probably never will...”

That night Scotty climbed into bed. His mother came up to say goodnight.

“Are you nervous champ?” Rachel asked him.

“Yes...” Scotty said. “I am.”

“I’m very grateful that you’re doing this for me sweetie. I know this seems very scary, but you're a real trooper for agreeing. Most boys would have said "FORGET IT!” Rachel said. “You’re just like your dad.”

"Well, I'll do it just for you mommy." Scotty said.

"Scotty, I know I ahven't been there for you a lot lately, and I'm sorry." Rachel said. "You must have felt really neglected. I hope now you understand why...but I promise I'm going to change that. I'll be there for you much more often."

“Thank you.” Scotty said. “Hey, I was wondering....”

“Sweetie, I know you probably have a lot more questions, but it’s late, and we’re hitting the road early tomorrow.” Rachel said. “I’ll answer anything you have tomorrow okay?”

“Okay.” Scotty said.

“You’re a very brave kid Scotty Reber. I love you with all my heart. Good night.” Rachel said and she kissed him and closed the door.

Scotty laid in bed. He couldn’t fall asleep though. This was the most bizare day of his life! He had a ton on his mind. He had found out his mother was a secret scientist and that she needed him to become a girl temporarily in order to win her money to avoid jail time. And becoming a girla..that was something he didn't want to do at all! He was very upset and freaked out by it...but felt good that he was helping his mother for the first time. But just when he thought he’d never fall asleep, he did.
