Work It Out

The coach had initially seen the competition between Enrico and Reggie as a good thing. It was inspiring them to push themselves harder in practice, and it was improving both their games. Things took a turn, however, when they both suddenly transformed into women one afternoon. The coach had certainly seen the effects of illegal X-Change pills before, but he doubt either of them did it to themselves. He told them enough for enough and to work their shit out.

Each of them was able to pull some clothes from the university’s lost and found to fit their smaller bodies, and they began to talk in the hall after practice.

“Look, it doesn’t matter which one of us is a starter and which one of us is on the bench,” Enrico admitted, “We’re both gonna still be kicking ass on this team. Coach was right about the pills. I’m sorry I slipped one in your water bottle. It’s only a 24 hour pill though, so you’ll be back to normal in about a day. How long am I stuck for?”

I don’t know,” Reggie shrugged.

“What do you mean you don’t know?” Enrico asked while putting his hands on his hips in a feminine manner, “Didn’t you ask the guy you got ‘em from how long they last?”

“I don’t know, because I didn’t buy any X-Change pills. I didn’t slip anything into your water bottle or your food. Whoever did it, it wasn’t me.”

“Come on, drop the bullshit. Who else would do this to me?”

“Dude, you think I’m your competition, but I’m not. I’m good, but I see you every day on that field; you’re better. I’m pushing myself just to try to stay anywhere close to spitting distance. I know I’m going to be on the bench for most of this year. But the other guys? The upperclassmen? You could very well end up benching one of them, and do you think they’re gonna take that lying down? I really have no idea how long that pill is gonna last, but I’m pretty sure more than a few of them want you out of the game for a long time. So who knows?”
