Ramifications

Chapter 10: Unexpected Surprises After The Hunt
After their triumphant return from the caverns with the ancient relics they had retrieved, Nigel and Sydney were the toast of Crete - indeed the toast of the entire nation of Greece! A major part of the country's matchless heritage had been re-discovered and old myths were proven to be based upon fact. Nigel and Sydney felt it best to keep the Minotaur's existence a secret. Otherwise, the Minotaur would likely be hunted down, meticulously dissected, and the remains of his body would probably be stuffed and put on exhibit along with the Minoan crown Jewels. While neither Syd nor Nigel was fond of the creature since it had, of course, tried to kill them, neither was prepared to make the creature a target for anyone else.
A grateful Greek Government awarded the brave and beautiful Professor Fox $500,000 dollars. As usual, 'she' passed 20 percent to Nigel for his assistance. Of course, after their exchange of souls, which one of them was actually getting the lions share of the reward was a still a matter that remained unsettled. However, the check was made out in the name of Sydney Fox and the bank would only cash the check if Professor Fox gave it to them, and that meant Nigel got the money. Nigel, for now, was the famous Professor Fox, while Sydney was her lowly, shy assistant. The first thing Sydney did with Nigel's usual share of the money was to buy some new clothes for Nigel's body. The second was to buy herself an airline ticket so she could fly back with Nigel on the Concord! At least she was able to cash in the return coach class ticket she had been offered.
Nigel looked at Sydney with surprise when she showed up in the seat next to him on the Concorde, but he was even more shocked by how much the new clothes she had bought for his former body improved his natural good looks.
On the plane, they talked in ancient Egyptian to each other to avoid being overheard. Neither wanted to be overheard talking about being in the wrong bodies! To Nigel's dismay, but hardly his surprise, Sydney was still determined to steal the statue of Ram! He wanted his own body back as much as she wanted hers, probably more so since the clock was ticking and he would be facing another period all too soon if he didn't become a man again real soon!
Upon their arrival back home, the apparent Sydney Fox was given a royal welcome! TV cameras and newspaper photographers preceded a flock of reporters swarming like ants at a picnic as they arrived at the airport! It seemed a bit excessive even after their successful mission, but there was a good reason for all the massive attention. Coming forward from a security checkpoint was none other than the President of the United States himself!
Nigel glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw Sydney burning. An egg would fry on her head. Obviously, she expected the President to ignore her like everyone else did. Better her be ignored then him! He wasn't sure Sydney realized the extent that he had been treated like an inferior when they both held similar degrees and knowledge in their chosen field. Sydney's beauty always gave her an edge! Lately she seemed to be taking advantage of it! Nigel couldn't resist when inspiration struck.
He turned to his former body and spoke with the same innocent style Sydney had used on him until recently, Sydney never saw it coming. "Oh Nigel, it looks like the President wants to congratulate me. Would you be a dear and take care of the luggage for me while you get your bags?"
Sydney's anger flamed high. But what could she do? She jealously watched Nigel inside her beautiful body being embraced by the President while she, the real Sydney Fox, was reduced to little more than a baggage handler. She turned away just before it became a little more interesting.
Nigel was shocked when the President's hand strayed down to his rear and gave him a good squeeze there! He thought the last President's troubles would have kept this guy on the straight and narrow, but apparently it was true. 'All men are pigs!' he thought, as he tried to smile and ignore the presidential advance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the office, Karen waited for 'Sydney' to go inside her office to answer the many congratulatory phone calls and then she jumped on 'Nigel' and, pressing her sexy body up against him, kissed him thoroughly. The little man sure knew how to kiss a woman, she thought, and then she giggled as a part of Nigel pressed back into her. "I knew you would be glad to see me, big boy!"
She took in his new appearance - the really cool and expensive clothes must have been bought to impress his new girlfriend. 'The darling man is trying to please me,' she thought smugly. 'And doing a fabulous job of it!'
Sydney found herself blushing at the attention from such a beautiful young woman. She had never had any lesbian interests before but it was amazing the influence a new body could have on one's sexuality! She never blushed as a woman! However, she never had been Nigel before. The mail came with a bunch of telegrams praising success of the latest relic hunt. 'Saved by the mailman!' Sydney wryly thought as Karen let her loose and went back to work and began to sort out the mail.
"Special delivery, registered, letter for Nigel Bailey! That you, young man?", the mailman asked.
Sydney shrugged, automatically signed Nigel's name with Nigel's handwriting and opened it. She read rapidly. "My god, Nig- I mean my lunatic cousins have died climbing while naked and I'm now the Earl of Sandwich!"
"Congratulations, Nigel!" Karen said, kissing him, and feigning surprise.
"I must tell - Sydney!" 'He' said, breaking away with much difficulty from the affectionate woman.
Syd burst in while Nigel was on the phone.
"We need to talk - NOW!"
"Mike, I'll call you back soon. I have an emergency." Nigel turned to Syd. "This better be very important! I was just on the phone with Michael Douglas. He wants to produce a motion picture of our latest exploit. Catherine Zeta Jones will play me and they think they can get Paulie Shore to play your role."
"Nigel, get a hold yourself! I'm Sydney Fox, not you!"
"Well yes, intellectually I guess that's the case, but I did the fighting in the last adventure, didn't I? I trapped the Minotaur, didn't I?"
"I suppose so. But never mind that! Nigel! Look at this letter I - you just received!"
Nigel read and raised Sydney's beautiful thin eyebrows with surprise. He whistled just like Syd usually did when really shocked.
"My god your - I mean my cousins are dead! I can't believe it! I thought they were too dumb to die! MY god, one of us is now the Earl of Sandwich!"
"Sorry for your loss."
"Sorry? Why are you sorry? Oh yes, you couldn't know. I hated my cousins! They tormented and beat me all during my youth. Their father also was a SOB. He died last year illegally hunting elephants in Africa - he forgot to load his rifle and was trampled to death."
"Well then, I suppose a celebration is in order."
"Go ahead Syd. You do it for me. I've been invited to talk to the museum and all the important members and board of directors about our latest adventures."
Syd's eyes lit up! "You might be able to persuade them to let go of Ram! Especially if you wear a really sexy dress. Most of the board members are past the age of retirement!"
"My thoughts exactly! I know just the perfect outfit in your closet! Ram will be ours, I'm certain of it!"
'I hope so, Nigel…' Sydney thought. 'Or else I put plan B into action. And B stands for Break-in!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So Nigel drove over to Sydney's home, took a long bath and then dressed up in Sydney's sexiest evening gown. 'Sydney looks GREAT!' Nigel thought as he examined his sexy curves in the full-length mirror. No longer troubled by high heels, he drove off to meet the movers and shakers of the city.
At the same time, the apparent Nigel celebrated his rise to the peerage of Britain with an eager Karen. Sydney would have been suspicious of Karen, knowing how she needed money for tuition, if Karen hadn't started her romance with 'Nigel' well before she heard the news today. Again, Sydney forgot, perhaps conveniently so, that Nigel's body capacity for alcohol was less than she was used to, and got drunk. One thing led to another...
Nigel in Sydney's beautiful body enjoyed the acclaim. He was the belle of the ball, the toast of the City!
After about an hour of sweet-talking the top board members, it was finally time to get down to the business he and Sydney wanted to discuss. "Now, about the loan of the Statue of Ram back to my department for a quick analysis? I hope you have reconsidered!" Nigel cooed to the old men with all the power of Sydney's sexy body.
Perhaps the real Sydney could have pulled it off, but the recently feminized Nigel apparently lacked some of the feminine wiles a woman born would have used. "I'm very sorry, Professor Fox. I knew you would ask, and I did my best to persuade them, but the insurance people absolutely refused to budge. In fact, they insisted I step up security. There have been rumors that thieves are after the Ram relic. These criminals apparently believe it may have magical powers!" He roared with laughter. "Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous, my dear? Magic, indeed!"
Nigel forced a smile to Syd's luscious full lips. "Yes, it's a real knee- slapper!" He drew close to the man and thrust his bosom under the man's nose. "Isn't there anything you can do to help me?"
"I'm afraid not, my dear. They were perfectly clear. No exceptions! Perhaps you wouldn't mind looking over the new precautions before you leave, however?" he asked diffidently. "The insurance company asked if you would as a favor."
Nigel was indignant. "You mean they refuse to do me a favor and want to me to do one for them instead?" Nigel was furious, but managed to keep most of it from showing.
"Well - yes - now that you put it that way, it does seem rather impertinent of them. I'll tell them you refuse."
Nigel got a hold of Sydney's emotions. Information about the updated security arrangements could keep him and Sydney out of jail if she went through with her plans to steal Mr. Ram. "No, I'll do it. We can't let anger rule our judgment."
Everyone was fawning and praising, and so Nigel managed to enjoy the rest of the evening. 'It is a far cry from my usual lot!' Nigel thought, smiling although the heels were murdering his delicate feet! Still they made his legs look great! He took them off while checking out the museum security arrangements afterwards, though. One of the security guards seemed rather upset about something. The older, burly man seemed on the verge of tears every time he passed by a mirrored surface.
Nigel took numerous mental notes and wrote them down on a pad in his purse as soon as he was walked back to Sydney's car. He didn't want to forget a single detail. He called Sydney but there was no answer at his former apartment. Sydney obviously partied harder than he did when he had that body. He hoped they didn't switch back until after the hangover went away. He wanted his body back in healthy, sober condition!
Sydney had indeed drunk too much and she woke up with more than a hangover. She woke up in bed with Karen. 'This is getting to be a bad habit!' Sydney thought. 'Or at least a habit! It's really not that bad!" She kissed the beautiful blonde's face and Karen smiled as she woke up to the face she was starting to love! He needed a shave she thought, as she kissed Sydney back
Impossibly, the stone lips of a certain ancient statue moved and formed a smile.
