As the years went by Murdoc and Rigs grew close and while Murdoc grew into the sex-addict, satanic bassist; Rigs grew into new and even baggier clothing. Rigs voice had changed to, it seemed to be extremely high which Murdoc teased Rigs excessively for. Rigs had also learned to play the guitar and with Murdoc had daily jam sessions in Rigs' garage. They had gotten good and they decided to form a band but one hot and sunny Saturday afternoon everything between them changed.

"Hey Murdoc" Rigs greeted his friend as Murdoc walked in the sun.

"Hey Rigs…how can you wear that in this heat?!" Murdoc asked and Rigs shrugged; Rigs was still in his face-coverage base-ball cap and baggy attire.

"Once you get used to it it's not so bad." Rigs said and Murdoc chuckled.

"Well listen I was thinkin' why don't we go down to the pool and maybe pick up some babes eh?" Murdoc said and looked at Rigs. Rigs looked uncomfortable and shuffled around with his feet. "Whatsa matter mate? What you've never had a lady before?" Murdoc asked. Rigs paused and then nodded though still looking uncomfortable. Murdoc laughed and took Rigs' hand. "Come on! We're gonna land you a lady!" Murdoc said and dragged Rigs off to the pool.

"Murdoc seriously I don't want to…" but Rigs was cut off by Murdoc pushing Rigs into the dressing room with a pair of tight swim trunks.

"Rigs c'mon be a man!" Murdoc said and leant against the door of the dressing room. After an hour Murdoc was still leaning against the door. "Rigs what is wrong with you? I'm coming in Rigs!" Murdoc yelled and burst in the door. Rigs was sitting down with the trunks opposite him.

"Murdoc I'm bein' serious! Don't you dare!" Rigs shouted but Murdoc already had the trunks in his left hand and was tearing away and Rigs' baggy clothing. Rigs kicked and tried to get out of Murdoc's grasp but Murdoc had his hand firmly on Rig's shirt and with a mighty tug it came off. Murdoc gasped and Rigs did as well. Rigs went over to Murdoc and grabbed the shirt back and turned away. "I told you I was serious…" Rigs said and put on the shirt to cover her chest. Murdoc looked stunned as his childhood brother turned out to be a sister. Rigs was a girl and using the baggy clothing and cap no one had noticed.

"You're a, a, a, a….." Murdoc began but was taken aback as Rigs removed her cap to reveal a head of light reddish-brown hair that extended to her lower back. She turned around and flashed Murdoc her pair of stunning green-hazel eyes. She put her shirt back on to cover the light pink bra she wore and put her cap over her hair.

"Yeah a girl…." Rigs said and turned away. Murdoc jumped up.

"But Rigs….that's your name right?"

"My name is Joan Valerie Rigby…people call me Rigs" she said and turned away and walked out of the dressing room. Murdoc stunned stayed there until someone finally kicked him out.

Murdoc walked back to his house where his brother opened the door and ran outside with him.

"Alright Muds, this girl in there is HOT mate, if I can have her I'll pay you!" Hannibal said and Murdoc brushed him off.

"Why is it my concern?" Murdoc asked.

"Because she says she's your friend." His brother replied and Murdoc tore away. In his living room sat Joan with his father who seemed to be getting a little to comfortable with her.

"Dad, seriously I need to talk with her." Murdoc said intruding since his father was talking to her intensely with his hand firmly on her thigh. Sebastian looked up in disappointment but motioned Joan to go and speak with his son. Murdoc led her upstairs to his room and began to pace.

"Muds…" she began but Murdoc stopped her.

"You have no right to call me Muds anymore Joan!" he said and she frowned before looking at him again.

"Fine then you can't use Joan anymore!" She hollered at him and he stopped dead in his tracks and looked at Rigs. She had changed and put on a bright blue summer dress that showed off her curves instead of hiding them. She had a nice chest and a bit of a butt while her face now looked feminine with her curly hair down and around her shoulders and her lips, full and plump, pursed together. Hannibal was right she was hot. Murdoc didn't let that stop him though.

"Why did you lie to me Rigs?"

"Well it's not like you asked me and since you thought I was a guy you told me your attitude to girls so why would I ruin a friendship?" she said and looked down. "I know it wasn't the best thing to find out by surprise but Murdoc I care about you! I wasn't going to let you know since you cared for me like we were brothers oddly enough. I remember when you were nine and lost your virginity to that lady…you told me first. And when your father beat you and made you perform you told me and when Tony fucking Chopper beat you senseless…which I was there for….I was the one that helped you! I've always been there and I don't see why my sudden "gender change" would hurt it but I knew somehow it would so I kept it secret…Murdoc I never wanted to hurt you…ever." She finished and looked away. Murdoc walked over to her and hugged her.

"Rigs I'm sorry…I guess I was wrong to freak out…sorry." He said and let go. Rigs turned around and looked at Murdoc.

"Are we okay?" she asked.

"Yeah except there are three conditions…"

"Okay…what?"

"One: you can't sleep with my Dad or brother. Two: You must still play a badass guitar. And three: DON'T HIDE CRAP FROM ME!" he shouted jokingly and Rigs laughed before hugging him and again reuniting as friends.
