Ring 1.1: The Perfect Disguise

So here's what happened for this to come into existence: It started out as a planned one-off caption; the first tf, but none of the 'framing' for it, was written out at least a few months ago. I got to thinking, and I thought I might want to make a short caption series out of it. But then when I actually wrote it, it looked better as a story. I'd written it ending a certain way, but wasn't sure I was happy with it, especially on later review. Then I thought, "Hmm, you know what would be great? To continue this story as a series so it can go out longer." So, right now, that's the plan. This is a new story series, or it will be when I, hopefully soon, put out the second part. Anyway, here it is:

Ring 1.1:

The Perfect Disguise

For the fifth month in a row, the best arcade in town was giving a whole Friday night of free play..to girls only. It wasn't to bring in a bunch of male customers, either--guys weren't even allowed in the building that night. And three particular friends were getting sick of it.

They had tried any combination of begging, bartering, cheating and sneaking they knew to get in the last couple of months. Now they were stuck this Friday a few days after school in Cole's living room. Cole was sitting on the couch as usual, Rolf was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, and Akio was sitting sideways on a hassock grinning at both of them while they complained about the arcade's policy. They didn't ask him why he was grinning. It was never a good sign, and he'd find a way to inject his reason for grinning into the conversation sooner or later.

"Man, I don't believe this," said Rolf. "Heck, most of their best customers are guys anyway. Someone needs to get the old man to get onto his daughter. I mean, she's doing mostly fine but this girls only free night thing is gonna kill the place."

"Aah, you know that won't do any good," said Cole. "He made it pretty clear he was done with the place and has total faith in her or whatever. He's probably out in Florida somewhere, enjoying being retired, he's not gonna care if the whole company goes under. Let's face it, only way we're gonna get in there is if we all grow boobs."

"Well I think you're ahead of the curve on that," said Rolf.

"Heyy. Not everyone's cut out to spend all their time running around kicking balls, okay?"

"Guys, guys, calm down," said Akio. "I've got the perfect solution. Take a look at this." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring that, for all intents and purposes, appeared to be made of plain old cheap white plastic.

"You have a ring," said Rolf, shaking his head.

"Not just any ring. This is a perfect disguise ring. I found it on the internet. It's supposed to make you completely indistinguishable from the real thing."

"Ugh..." Rolf facepalmed.

"Really?" said Cole. "How much did they sell you that piece of junk for? Maybe you could at least flag whoever sold it as a liar so nobody else gets scammed."

This was why Akio's grin was dreaded. He was always the one with the weird plans, and they almost never worked. So his friends' skepticism was more than earned. "Hey, it was cheap, okay? It wouldn't hurt to at least try it out!"

Cole said, "Yeah, well, if that does do something magical, then you should test it out."

"But I'm the one who thought of it."

"Exactly," answered Rolf. "So you should be the one who gets hurt if you screwed up again."

He sighed. "Okay, okay." Then he stood up and pulled a folded-up piece of paper out of his pocket, unfolding it before looking at it. "So, these instructions say to put the ring on and think really hard about what you want to disguise yourself as. It starts glowing when it's done entering the command, and then you take it off for it to take effect. It lasts twelve hours or until you put the ring back on." He tossed the instructions to Cole and then held up the ring above his right ring finger. "So, here goes nothing."

Akio slipped the small band of metal on, closed his eyes, and thought really hard about girls--every single thing he could think of about them, but most importantly just the general idea of being female. After a few seconds or so, his thoughts were interrupted by Rolf saying, "Whoa!"

"What?" Akio opened his eyes again and saw what: The ring was glowing. "Ha, I told you it worked," he said.

"You haven't proven it yet," said Cole. "Maybe it just glows to get your hopes up and then doesn't do anything else."

"Oh yeah? Watch." Akio took off the ring, and immediately things started happening.

He felt like he was being squeezed in on from all sides; he felt disoriented and dizzy, too. He dropped the ring, and it was a wonder he didn't fall over himself. His friends, and the whole room, rose up around him, and he looked down to see his clothes squeezing tightly against his body, his stomach getting flatter and thinner, his arms and legs rapidly slimming down.

"Who-a-a-oh!" Akio had to spin his arms around to keep from losing his balance; just as the shrinking slowed down it felt like his hips were suddenly jutting out to either side, and backwards, and he stumbled around, narrowly avoiding falling over, as he got used to the sudden shift of his balance. His voice sounded much higher than before, but it wasn't quite up to a girl's range yet.

Akio managed to regain his balance, and then could only stare downward and gawk at a series of sudden changes to his clothes. His shirt turned white and split in the middle, buttons forming to hold it together, and his sleeves turned bright orange, split off and grew over on top of it, and all the way down to his wrists. His jeans turned to cloth all at once, split at the thighs, and exploded outward up above. The cloth turned purple, and white, frilly cloth appeared beneath it. The leggings combined with his socks, squeezing tight against his now-slender legs. They turned gray at first, then gained thick black stripes all the way down. His shirt grew new sleeves, which ran under and past the cuffs of the overgrown other sleeves.

His look downward was obscured by a bunch of bright orange hair that had apparently exploded from his scalp, and then Akio could feel his underwear squeezing rather tightly between his legs. "Aa--aah..meep!" His voice sounded very girlish now, and still seemed to be rising; but more importantly, the rapid squeezing of the undergarments only ended once Akio had definitely become female. She reflexively crossed her arms over her chest at the sudden feeling of some new clothing there under the shirt, fastened across her back and over her shoulders. Then her chest jumped out into a pair of petite, but still noticeable breasts, giving the brassierre something to support.

"Whoa," said Rolf, getting off the wall.

"I'm watchin', but I'm not believin'," said Cole.

Akio could only sort of process that. Her head felt like it was spinning for a few seconds, and then all of a sudden she felt like she knew a whole ton of new things. Like how to put a bra on, how to match clothes up, how pretty flowers were. But as her head cleared, she couldn't help but grin up at Rolf. It was partially because she just now noticed how cute he looked, but she tried to ignore that part.

"See? It works perfectly!" she said. "Now you guys have to try it out."

"Wh--no way!" said Rolf. "We don't have to do anything."

"Aww, but I thought you guys wanted to go the arcade with me. It's gonna be real weird hanging out with nothing but girls who don't know I'm really a guy..."

"..Dang it," said Rolf. "Cole, did you see where the ring went when the klutz here dropped it?"

"Hey, you would have dropped it too," said Akio.

"I think it went under the couch." Cole leaned over and got his head upside-down near the floor so he could look. "Yeah, it's down there. No way I can reach it though."

"I'll get it then," said Akio. She didn't really think about the fact that she was wearing a skirt before lying down on the floor and crawling halfway under the couch to reach the ring.

While she was busy grabbing it, she could hear Rolf saying "whoa", and when she came back out with ring in hand both of her friends were carefully looking away from her.

"What?"

"You..you actually turned completely into a girl?" said Rolf. His face was kind of red. "I thought it just made you look a lot more effeminate and stuffed your shirt or something.."

"Haha, nope." She grinned up at him mischievously. "What part of perfect disguise ring did you not understand? So, who wants to go next?"

The two guys looked at each other for a few seconds or so, and then Cole sighed. "I'll try it," he said.

"Okay, here ya go." Akio handed him the ring.

Cole looked over the ring, wondering just what about it made it able to do this. “So is falling over and losing the ring a requirement?” he asked.

“You could just stay sitting down if you're worried about that,” said Akio.
“I think I will.” He put the ring on his left index finger and tried to imagine himself as a girl. He thought it would be nice to be thinner, maybe, a little more attractive...

Before long the ring had started glowing again. Cole took a deep breath. “Here we go, I guess.” He took off the ring and then quickly but carefully put it on the end table next to him.

By the time he'd done that, he could already feel a squeezing sensation coming from his stomach. He looked down and saw his shirt turning paler and getting tighter, buttons forming along its middle. Then he felt a strange little pull from between his legs, and had to think about it for a few seconds before realizing he'd already technically turned into a girl.

Then, her hair began to slowly grow out, and she felt a gentle tingling across her body as her skin lost its hair and smoothed over. She could feel her chest and hips pushing out as her stomach continued to shrink, soon becoming completely flat and gently curving its way in on the sides. Her shirt seemed to grow a black jacket over its sleeves and sides, and a bra underneath to take care of her growing breasts, all on its own. By now she could see bits of her brown hair hanging down in front of her face, and feel it tickling her shoulders and back, a couple of the longer parts falling to either side of her face.

She looked up at Rolf and Akio out of curiosity, and found that Rolf definitely looked great to her. Akio looked..good, but not attractive in any special way. And then her pants suddenly started crawling their way up her legs. She looked down to see the leggings joining together as they came closer and closer to her hips, finally stopping at the thighs and folding into pleats, a red plaid pattern forming on them.

She hadn't even noticed her arms and legs shrinking until now. She stood up carefully, getting used to the new balance of her body, and looked up and grinned at Rolf. A heat in her cheeks told her she was blushing; the change finished as her new breasts finally finished growing, the top few buttons of the shirt undoing themselves to show off a little of her sizable cleavage.

“W-well,” she said, and paused at a deep alto voice coming out of her mouth. It sounded mature, but definitely feminine, easily sultry if she wanted to talk that way—not that she did. “This isn't so bad.”

“How did you manage to stay so tall?” said Akio. Cole looked over and realized that her height apparently hadn't changed at all.

She shrugged. “I dunno..I just kind of did.” Then she went and got the ring, and offered it to Rolf. “Guess it's your turn, then.”

“..I guess so,” he said, taking the ring. He cleared his throat. “This doesn't hurt, does it?”

“Not if you don't fall over,” said Akio.

“Okay then.” Rolf thought, as he put on the ring, that he didn't want to turn into some kind of weak girly-girl. Maybe a tomboy, a girl who was still strong or at athletic at least. Actually, he wasn't sure if Akio or Cole was any stronger or weaker, but they weren't all that strong to begin with. The ring started glowing at some point in the middle of his thoughts, and he took it off without much hesitation, closing it in a fist.

Suddenly his clothes changed. His pants pulled their way up to his thighs and spread out into a dark blue skirt with a white stripe along the trim. His shirt's sleeves grew out to his wrists, and a vertical blue stripe and buttons appeared all the way down its middle. The collar slipped down an inch or two, then a green ribbon tying it together at the top.

“Wh-what the?!” The girls giggled. “This isn't funny, guys..” Rolf didn't have much to worry about, though, as after just a brief pause his body began changing. Which is to say, the hair on his skin suddenly started pulling in and thinning down all over, and his hair suddenly turned a much brighter shade of brown before shooting its way out, all the way down to his hips. And then he felt something like a punch to his gut, and suddenly his whole body was much thinner. His hips shoved themselves out and back, and then his underwear suddenly pulled up between his legs, seemingly causing what was in its way to disappear entirely.

Before she could react at the sudden flatness down there, though, Rolf felt another jolt from her chest: Two large boobs suddenly jutted out, filling up a bra she hadn't even noticed appearing under the top. And then..she felt a strange rush in her head, yet a pleasant one, accompanied by a brand new, very pleasant feeling between her legs. A giddy grin spread across her face; she wasn't completely sure what was going on but she didn't want it to stop.

“Wh..wow!” she said, somehow managing to drop the ring. “I feel great. You didn't say anything about how good this felt.”
“W-well, I didn't think I'd have to,” said Cole.

“Wait, what're you talking about?” said Akio. “I mean, I feel pretty normal, aside from being short and suddenly knowing what the deal is with clothes.”

“Y-you mean you're not thinking about boys right now?” said Rolf.
“W-well now I am,” said Akio, a small blush on her cheeks. “But I was trying to ignore that. I mean, it's just part of the disguise, right?”
“I guess so,” said Cole. “Maybe because when we thought of what we wanted to disguise ourselves as we thought that was normal for a girl?”
Akio said, “Probably, yeah...but anyway, forget about that, it's time to go hit the arcade!”
"Yeah," said Cole. "Right after Rolf finds the ring she just threw on the floor so we can change back after."
 "O-oh, whoops!" She blushed slightly without even thinking about it, and then got to work looking around on the floor for the ring. It wasn't that hard to find, thankfully.
