disclaimer- down own shit! Even the idea for the story isn't mine (but Calvin is!)
Yet another wish: prologue…
Calvin sat at his computer sighing at how lame the day had been. Sure today was Christmas but it was the worst day of his life so far. He hadn't received so much as a card from anyone, not even old friends. In fact the only news of his family he had gotten was from his stepfather in a cheap 50-cent hallmarks card informing him that his mother had died from a bad case of phenomena, he didn't even write anything in it. He had never considered his stepfather to be his father. His mother had married him during his last 2 years of high school; 3 years after his father had died. His mother had had a soft completion with brown almost red eyes, which he inherited. He smiled remembering his mother's occasional soft smile that seemed to complement her long black hair.
His real father also had black hair but it was always in untamed spikes, he preferred the same hairstyle. He was at an average height, slightly built from working out every week.
"My first semester of collage at Michigan U gone already… and know it's Christmas… great." He thought sarcastically as searched for something to do. His roommate had left hours ago to get drunk and party. Unfortunately his Mormon lifestyle refused him such an existence, so for yet another
Christmas he was alone. Calvin put on a pair of baggy pants and a shirtsleeve shirt that was apparently a couple sizes too large. He turned on computer and watched the startup/loading screen came up. He had a fairly fast computer so it only took about 2.5 seconds to load.
The first thing that came up was a preprogrammed merry Christmas from his computer.
'Merry my ass' he thought as he closed the screen and clicked on his divx player.
Reaching to his left he picked up his divx collection off the floor and searched through it until he found what he was looking for. He put an Onegai Teacher disk in his disk drive and went to go get a glass of water.
Upon returning he found that his e-mail screen was open.
'what the hell' he thought angrily and tried to close the screen. Note the words TRIED to close the screen.
'why now?' he thought as he wondered why the heavens had bestowed yet another problem on him this holy day. Calvin looked at his inbox and saw that he had
one message. Deciding that he had nothing better to do he clicked on it. Clicking on it opened a full screen, on it was:
You have been chosen by the goddess relief agency!
A consultant will be with you shortly.
He sighed.
This had to be a trick by his roommate; he knew how much he was into Ah! My goddess. Now he was angry. He was tired of the jokes that had been made for the past three and a half months.
'So I'm in love with ah my goddess and you: Love Hina, so what?' he thought as he remembered the reason for these "anime wars" his roommate and him have had over what is the best romance-comedy series.
Deciding that it was better to take his anger out on his computer then his roommate he punched the screen.
Hard.
He also failed to notice the figure come out of water he had. He watched as his screen shattered under the sudden impact.
"Fuck!" was all he could say after he realized that he had destroyed his best hope of entertainment for the un-holy day.
"You really shouldn't have done that, Urd was suppose to be here for my first assignment." Came a voice from behind him. He looked to see none other than Skuld standing right behind him.
"S-Skuld?" was all he could say before he did what most people would do if they saw an anime character in their room…
faint.
Calvin sat up in his bead.
'Must have been a dream.' He thought as he looked at the ceiling.
"So you're finally awake are you." Skuld voice came from his right.
'Nope not a dream.'
The first thing he noticed was that she was a little older, maybe around seventeen. She actually looked as some of the fan-boys/girls… I guess you could say people…anyway She looked like some of them had described. In fact it was safe to say that she has a scientist sexiness going on. He hair was tied back as always but it had a new vibrancy to it. A pair of silver rimmed half moon glasses gently rested on her nose giving her a mature look. She wore the same white outfit from the first time you saw her in the anime (when she was debugging), but now it was longer and was shaped more around her… curves. It took him awhile for his brain to start functioning again, unfortunately his mouth was already moving.
"So why are you here?" he stupidly asked.
"Baka! I swear you people are so stupid. I here to grant you a-"
"Wish." he finished for her.
"Good you're catching on so what is it."
"I don't know, hmm, maybe a wish like Keiichi's." Skuld visibly paled
"H-how do you know about Keiichi?" she asked confused
"Long story I'll tell you later." He said calmly. He had made up his mind that his roommate had spiked something that he had eaten, he cursed himself for eating those brownies, he knew they looked suspicious.
"Sometimes I wish I had a life like Belldandy's." he said to no one. Unfortunately in where wishes are concerned, if the sentence had I wish in it it's your wish.
"Fuck!" escaped his mouth a second time today as the room started to glow. He watched as small things in his room started floating around occasionally spotting one of his "friend's" porno mags. As the glow died down he looked at her again. On her face was the look of shock and
anger.
"YOU IDIOT!" she yelled as she used her hammed to knock him in to unconsciousness
He woke up and stretched. In his room he found Skuld working on his computer monitor. At first he was surprised.
' I was still hoping it wasn't real' he thought stubbornly.
"Um, Skuld what are you doing?" his voice sounded higher. Odd…
"Shut up and watch!" she yelled. He sat there for a couple minutes before she turned on the computer. He was amazed that the screen actually turned on. Especially after the ordeal it had gone through. He'd have to go buy it some new software to make himself feel better.
"Wow, it works!" he screamed it delight as he watched his baby boot up. He was still trying to figure out how his voice sounded more feminine. Five seconds later the screen glowed yellow, but not like it would explode. He knew what would happen next as he starred. He about to go with anything to say that this wasn't real, even if his mom came down form heaven and told him that he was hit by a car that fell from a three story parking garage and he was in a coma. No such luck as out of the corner of his eye saw his mirror light up.
"So I guess Urd and Belldandy are coming." It was more of a statement of resignation then a question.
"Yeah." She said and gave him a strange look. After Urd and Belldandy made it into the room Skuld decided to speak.
"This is my first wisher." She said pointing to him.
"So this is… `hum something doesn't feel right here…`" Belldandy said to Urd in a barely audible whisper.
"Looks more like a guys room than a girl's" Urd said as she looked around. Calvin caught her mistake and decided to fix it.
"I am a guy!" Urd looked at him. There was a long period of silence before it was cut by Urd's hysterical laughter.
"What's so funny?" he asked in earnest.
Urd looked up at him and continued laughing as she fell on the floor holding her gut. He turned to Belldandy to find an answer; she only blushed and signaled to look down. He did so and the first thing he saw were two male obsessions, also known breasts.
'So what?… wait a minute I'm a guy.' The thoughts processed for a good minute before an ear splitting scream could be heard from a mile away. Down the hall the sound of china shattering could be heard.
Back in Calvin's apartment we find Calvin hugging his knees tightly to his chest in a corner of his room.
'Wait… think positive… hmm… at least I can't get kicked in the balls!' he thought before breaking down crying. Belldandy move forward to comfort him… err… her.
"I thought wishes like that weren't allowed?" She questioned Urd.
"They're not." The answer came from a new person in the room. "The system crashed right as he made his wish, thus the computer wasn't at full capacity when the wish was given and as you can see the result in rather troubling." Peorth finished her explanation. Calvin looked up angrily as he cursed the yggdacil mainframe for screwing up his life to see the newcomer, it was safe to say, that like most males, he was turned on by what she was wearing, or lack of. This only further distressed him.
"Great now I'm a lesbian!" he cried before hiding his head and well… crying.
'damn these womanly emotions' he cursed in his head
"Well at least there is something good about this, Calvin raise your head." Belldandy said calmly. When he did they look at a triforce-like goddess mark on his forehead and triangles under the corner of his eyes.
"Well at least they made you a goddess, stand up so we can have a look at you." Urd said and he obliged. They looked at a female version of Calvin and agreed that he wasn't all that bad looking.
'At least I'm not ugly' he thought as he looked at a full-length mirror.
Indeed, he had c cup breasts and a really good figure. His eyes were the same but they seemed to almost glow, his hair was long like his mothers and reached his mid-back. He looked away not wanting to arouse himself.
"Skuld go into the yggdracil data base and find his medium and secondary power source."
Calvin sat in the bath trying hard not to look at himself. Steam rose from the water making the ordeal easier... It had been an ordeal just to get
scrubbed. He had to enlist the help of Belldandy so he wouldn't have to open his eyes. Today had sucked, and as he sat there soaking his mind recapped what had happened.
flashback.
Skuld nodded her head at her sister's request and quickly jumped though her glass of water.
"How come she only listens to you?" Urd said as she fake pouted.
"Maybe because you always fight?" Calvin said sarcastically.
"Shut up… wait how do you know about that?" she gave him a quizzical look. Calvin shrugged not wanting to tell them that their story was made into a story that thousand of people read and watched. Slowly he paced his room contemplating his new life. Then he realized something, he lived in Michigan at collage. How was he supposed to tell his roommate that he would move out if he was now a girl?
"Great… Now what do I do?" he said drawing attention to himself.
"what do you mean *now what do I do?*" Peorth asked as he flopped himself down on the floor Indian style.
"Whoa, I was never flexible enough to sit like this so easily." He said as he remembered trying to sit down fast and stretching a little too much. They had to lift him and put him in a bed so he could starch his legs. He was snapped out of his revere by the strange looks that he was getting.
"Uh… never mind. So how exactly do you think I'm supposed to tell my roommate that he will be living by himself for now on?" he asked as he rested his head on his fists.
"Well. You could always pass as your sister…" Urd said quietly knowing that his gender change was a sensitive subject.
"I guess so…" he dragged on. 'Might as well do it now'. He thought as he got up and headed toward his door.
"Where you going?" Urd asked as she followed him out the door and down the hall towards a room that had music blaring.
"to tell my roommate that I'm going to Japan." He said as he opened the door.
`I'm getting a little upset about you knowing so much about us'. He heard Urd voice in his head.
`I tell you when I get my head cleared enough to have coherent thoughts' he replied. She could tell that his mind was in overdrive as she listen to him talk to her telepathically. She could hear thousands of different thought patterns in the background and there where so many that she couldn't make out a specific one.
Urd followed him as he made his way though the people towards where he knew his friend would be, which was in the kitchen raiding whoever's poor dorm room refrigerator this was.
As predicted he found his short red headed friend scrounging though the fridge. Calvin walked behind him knowing that he wouldn't leave the area until he had all the food he wanted.
"Hey mike!" he called getting his attention.
"Yeah and who are you?" he asked without looking back. Calvin could swear that he had eyes on the back of his head.
"I'm Calvin's sister, he is moving out of his dorm today because… his mother died." 'Nice save' he thought as he waited for his reaction. Mike put the raid on hold as he turned around to like at his roommate's "sister". Blues eyes met brown as he confirmed whatever he as thinking and turned back to the fridge.
"Hmm… didn't know he had a sister, but you now that his mother died and even I wasn't supposed to know. I just found the letter lying on his bead. Also you look a lot like her, I've seen your brother's picture of your mother." He said as he looked deeper in to the fridge.
"Alright, we better get going, and don't get too plastered." He said as he walked out of the room.
"hey can I have you phone number?" one of the partygoers asked. Calvin looked at the drunk.
"um… no." she said and walked right past him. As they walked back to the room Urd had some questions.
"So… Who was that?" she asked.
"Oh, that was Mike. He's a good friend, very loyal except when there's a party around." He shrugged, "of course there's always a party around." Urd simply nodded. As they made it back to the room he didn't know what to pack so he just grabbed some big shirts and baggy pants.
"You ready to go?" Urd asked as he walked into the room after getting his toothbrush from the bathroom. Urd snapped her fingers and the rest of Calvin's stuff disappeared. He nodded and within a matter of seconds was pulled though the computer screen with Urd.
Calvin felt a pulling sensation as they traveled through the once broken screen. As they ended the trip Calvin found himself in the very room that he had seen on TV for the millions of times he had seen the anime.
He quickly looked around and instantly regretted it as a wave of nausea hit him full force. The room started to spin as he got dizzier and dizzier. With a thud he landed on soft…and warm… and round…
"We have plenty of time for this later." He heard Urd joke before passing out.
He awoke to find himself on the couch. He closed his eyes to hide out the sun that was desperately trying to blind him.
"Are you ok?" was obviously from Belldandy. As his vision cleared he say the face of a highly concerned Belldandy looking at him. Realizing that he had not answered he nodded his head.
"Good, now all we have to do is wait for Skuld to come back!" Her voice was full joy… he would learn later that Skuld would take a couple hours to get back.
"So… now what do I do?" he asked as he sat up still deciding that he would never used to the feeling of missing morning wood, and the additional weight on his chest.
"Well you could help me in the kitchen, help Kei with his new bike that he has to build for the next race or-" she was interrupted by Urd.
"You can get plastered with me!" Urd held a bottle of sake to him.
'Great… I suck at kitchen duty and Bell will probably kill me for destroying it, I don't drink so all that's left is poor old Keiichi.' He thought with mild sarcasm.
He stood up and stretched before heading out toward the area where Kei usually worked. just as he thought Kei was on the floor working.
"Need some help?" he asked kindly getting Kei's attention.
"Sure! Thanks Mr.…"
"Calvin, just Calvin." He said as he sat down next to him. They worked on the new bike for a good three hours before he realized that Keiichi did not call him a woman.
"So, how'd you know I was a guy?" he asked off handedly as he started to fit the engine into the frame.
"Well Urd told me about your 'mishap.'" Kei said simply.
"So did she laugh at me behind my back?" He already knew the answer but he might have gotten a surprise.
"Yep, and said something about legally being able to cross dress!" Kei had a hard time holding in his laughs.
'Nope no surprises here,' Calvin thought dejectedly.
"KEI-KUN AND CALVIN-SAN TIME FOR LUNCH." Bell voice rang out. They walked back into the temple talking about vehicles and such. As they entered the temple a smell that was heavenly entered Calvin's nose.
"Ah, foood!" he said almost drooling.
"That's Bell's cooking alright." Kei whispered to him as they made their way to the table. As he sat down bell walked in with trays of food floating behind her. Calvin almost passed out at the sight of so much good food in one place at one time. Back at the university, this kind of dinner was simply impossible to obtain.
As the plates made it to the table he was the first to dig in, savoring the smell and taste. Soon all of the food was gone and Calvin sat there feeling stuffed for the first time in his life. But of course this was the perfect time for Skuld to make her arrival.
As she appeared she looked out of breath like she had run a long time. After composing herself she turned to him and spoke.
"Calvin, that stupid file of yours had so many errors it took all day just to finalize it." She shook her head and headed toward her room, "Oh and take a shower, father wishes to see you."
End of flashback
Now here he was minutes later, taking a bath and waiting for his appointment with God…
Calvin got out of the shower making sure to keep his eyes off the mirror. As he wrapped the towel around himself, he couldn't help but wonder how much easer it would be if the others just told him the spell to change his clothes.
He glanced toward the mirror and saw that his chances of seeing what his wish gone wrong had done to his body very slim because of the condensation that was formally known as fog.
Slowly he made his way to the mirror and wiped away enough to see his face. He starred at the mirror for a long length of time. 'Man, if I was someone else I would probably go after a chick like this,' was one of the trail of thoughts that he was having as he effortlessly produced a toothbrush out of thin air with out noticing.
"Kami-sama better have a way to fix this." He mumbled as he started brushing his teeth. As his mind slowly woke up he realized two things.
One.) He was brushing his teeth with an unknown toothbrush.
Two.) The mirror was un-fogging.
Three.) He was meeting GOD.
The first two brought mild surprise but the last sent his mind to a grinding halt. The toothbrush fell out of his hand into the sink, his eyes opened wide, his towel dropped, and he almost fainted. Ah, what a lovely .245 seconds.
He took a deep breath to compose himself as he wondered what he was going to wear. His mind must have fun shocking him because he remembered that he was a guy yesterday and had no cloths!
"Think… Belldandy must have some extra clothes!" was his last words as he ran out of the bathroom
"Yes Calvin?" Belldandy asked as he rushed into her room. Calvin took a couple minutes to catch his breath before continuing.
"WHAT AM I GOING TO WARE!" he was surprised at how feminine he sounded talking about clothes.
"Oh dear!… don't worry Urd will think of something…"
That was two hours ago. Now Calvin starred at the doors that held Kami-sama. He was wore a reveling red dress. The dress stretched to her ankles and she would never try to guess how Urd found one that fit her perfectly. There was a slit in it that reached all the way up to her upper thigh naming it as obviously one of Urd's.
It wasn't the gods giving him long gazes (which he would have liked less of), or the confused looks that he got from some who knew that something wasn't right here (he got enough of those to last a lifetime). No it was the fact that behind these seemingly endless oak doors was the most powerful creature that one usually meets after death. Last time she checked she was still alive.
He had been standing there so long that the others had left him behind and walked off to find something to do. He took a breath and willed himself to open the doors. He had originally thought that he wouldn't be able to open them but as he gave a slight push they opened with ease. As he entered he was nearly blinded by the holy brightness that presided there.
He could make out a figure that sat on a throne on a high pillar. He felt comforted as he starred at the silhouette.
My child, you have arrived. Telepathy… seems everybody uses it these days.
I'm sorry about you loss of …. Male attributes but it is not something that I have the will to change at the moment. To fix this because of the circumstances I would have to reconfigure the yggdacil mainframe. And if I do that it would mean Paperwork, lots of paperwork. Kami-sama seemed to shudder at the word.
I still regret making such a thing… I'm off subject. Anyway I have watched you this afternoon and have noted that Skuld has yet to tell you of your status (Calvin almost smacked his head in irritation as he realized that he was right.) so I will tell you myself.
You are:
Goddess Calvin, second-class trainer restrictions, goddess of honor and truth.
You travel medium is shadows.
You are to be relocated here to area alpha p67435 where you will start you goddess studies under the tutelage of goddess Peorth.
"you mean, I HAVE TO STAY A GIRL!" Kami-sama's earlier words sunk in. Kami-sama nodded.
"Wait let me get this straight, I am to live here, train under flower girl, and stay a girl just because you won't get off your lazy ass to help me!" Calvin never seemed to realize whom he was yelling at until after he shut his moth.
"oooppps….. oh lord! I was angry please forgive me!" he begged as he tried to figure out how he could be so stupid sometimes.
Understandable, now if being a woman is that much of a hassle I'll give you a secret if you call me dad for the rest of you life.
"O…k…" Kami-sama seemed to glow brighter if it was possible.
There is a class that very few gods and goddesses have achieved. In this class you will be able to slightly change the will of the ultimate force. Although it's slight you probably will be able to change you gender back to it's original... if you achieve this.
The way Kami-sama put it made it seem to be impossible. But it was now Calvin's turn to look extremely happy.
"Thank you… dad." And with that said he proceeded to walk out of the grand hall.
Wait, you might want to change your name to something that consists of no gender rules. Calvin is a guys name, try X or Alex or something like that…
'Alex, has a nice ring to it' he though as he stepped out of the doors and into a new life.
"Muhahahahahaha, I'm ba… Ahh put that gun down, down, be a good little reader and put the gun down…."
Bang!
"HEY! THAT. WAS. MY. ARM… get back here you little bastard, I'll get you!
All accounted for,
Demonsaint.
