A Bride for Halloween (8 page)

Our school broke the academic year into quarters, and we had time off after each quarter. This year, fall break occurred immediately after Halloween. Jenny knew that she could whisk me away for an entire week, and nobody would notice. Well, nobody other than Michelle, and I was pretty sure she was in on it.

"You realize that we can’t fly anywhere" I told her. "I don’t have any of my identification, and even if I did, I don’t think the airport security would think I look very much like Michael Berry - not in this outfit."

"That’s OK, dear" she replied. "You’ll be traveling as Heidi Campbell."

"I can’t do that" I said. "Heidi is a fictional person. How do you expect me get past security masquerading as Heidi?"

"Look inside your purse."

I looked inside my purse and to my great surprise, found a driver’s license, social security card, and credit cards in my name. Heidi’s name, that is. The picture on the license showed me wearing my favorite pink dress.

"I can’t use a fake ID. I could get arrested. I really don’t want to have to explain everything to the cops!" I could only imagine what would happen to me in jail if the cops found out I was a man and put me in the same cell with men. I would surely be a fine prize for a fellow prisoner.

"It’s not fake. I have a cousin who works for the government. The license and social security cards are legitimate cards, and he created an entire history for you in government files. You’re a real person, as far as the government knows."

This girl really did her homework. My nervousness subsided a bit.

Jenny wouldn’t show me the tickets, because she didn’t want me to know where we were headed for our honeymoon. She handed to tickets to the woman at the counter. The woman asked me a few security question and asked for identification. I gave her my driver’s license and hoped that I didn’t look too nervous. Apparently, Jenny’s cousin was good at what he did. The woman waved us through without a second glance.

Before too long, our flight number was called, and we boarded the plan to Los Angeles. I had never been to LA, and I knew that I would enjoy our time in LA.

When we arrived in LA, we made our way off the plane, and I started to head toward the baggage claim area.

Jenny grabbed my arm. "Heidi, dear" she said "our luggage is going through to our final destination."

So we weren’t going to LA after all. I followed Heidi, and we checked in at LAX and sat to await the next leg of our flight. When the gate attendant called for passengers to Honolulu to board, Heidi stood up.

A week in Hawaii! This was our fabulous honeymoon trip!

The trip across the waters of the Pacific was long. I fell asleep on the plane, and I rested my head on Jenny’s shoulder. When she gently shook me to wake me up, we were touching down in Hawaii.

We had jet lag that night, so we checked into the hotel and ate at the hotel restaurant, looking out over the ocean. We went to bed early, clinging together in a tight embrace.

We had a great time in Hawaii. Jenny and I spent many hours working on our tans on the beach. I learned to hula dance. We walked the beaches and took boat tours of the island.

On our last full day in Hawaii, Heidi took a day off. Jenny got out the solvent, and for the first time in a week, I was without my breasts and vagina. Michael had reappeared.

Jenny Campbell and Michael Berry were married in a simple ceremony on the beach. My parents were ecstatic. Jenny was everything they could ask for in a daughter-in-law. She was attractive, smart, had a great personality, and come from a wealthy family. Michelle commented that it was nice that we got married "for real this time", which confused my parents a bit.

Personally, I think what we were also married for real when we exchanged vows in Amy’s house. We were married twice now. I mused that it would take two divorces if we ever wanted to call it quits. I wasn’t sure if I was Heidi Campbell or if Jenny was Jenny Berry. I don’t think it really mattered. We were two people who were deeply in love, and nothing would change that.

After the ceremony, I morphed back into Heidi. I felt like a complete woman again. I was wearing my lucky pink panties and my favorite pink dress when we boarded the plane the next day to go back home.
