The mall was busy. I’d just just arrived in China with a tour group to Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an and goodness knows how many other Interesting Places. I’d been so fascinated with the place that I’d slipped off the tour and was no enjoying China on my own. Today, I had time to explore a shopping center, or mall. It had been fascinating. There was no doubt that the stores were full of the best fashions at the best prices, haggling assumed of course. This was my first time to China, and I had little idea what to expect. The depth and breadth of choice was quite overpowering;. There was no doubt that China and the word were here to shop until they dropped, including me. So I decided to look out the food court. The bilingual signs were hard to miss and soon I was standing in line at KFC. Yes, Mickey D, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Baskin Robbins and the whole crew were here and doing clearly the best of business.

The line was long but seemed to be moving fast with an efficient team loading trays at a consistent rate bordering on the frantic. A moment later, I wasn’t the last in line. A Disney umbrella stroller arrived complete with a young man, about two and some, I’d guess. The stroller the youngster’s out fit and My! his Mom, all showed this family to be doing very well indeed. She was tall, elegant with big black wide-set almond eyes over high cheekbones. The perfect complexion was framed by a neatly cut mane of deep black hair to just sort of the shoulders. A blue velvet hairband assured control. An orange-yellow 24-carat gold chain showed off a small jade figure. She wore a matching blue satin loose dress to mid thigh, and then the legs that went on and on until matching blue heeled sandals.

"Ni hao!" (Hi!) greeted the young man. Mom smiled, looked at me appraisingly and said,

"I’m sorry, It’s just that he always want to play."

"I’m pleased to meet you", I said with a smile and rush inside whenever I made eye contact with Mom.

"He really needs a playmate." Mom added. "He’s very outgoing."

"And your English is perfect." I complimented.

"I try. We lived in California for a number of years until my husband took a visit to China to see family and business peoples. He got the SARS and died, so we came back Life’s good here now."

It seemed that this was a capable professional Mom who was out to replace that first husband and that I was being given the once-over. Already this was the best part of the mall visit!

The order clerk quite took me by suprise. I chose by the pictures, being once again amazed by my total lack of even the beginning of usable Chinese. My jaw dropped when Mom purred,

"Would you join us, if you don’t mind the Little Man?"

"I would be happy."

So we all sat down at a table and started to organize the meal.

"I’m Judy, and this is Ming-Ming." she smiled

"I’m John, here on a vacation tour. It’s wonderful."

"We did some shopping for my niece, who is sitting the College Entrance exams next week. We Chinese get very worked-up out this because so much opportunity depends on the result. She so wants to go to college and be a doctor."

"Seems like you have a fine family here."

"We try, and China is a good place nowadays. I try not to park Ming-Ming on baby-care more than I must, but life is busy "

"I hope he finds a playmate soon." I said, hopefully supportively.

"He has. He likes you."

"I think I’m more like an "uncle" maybe?"

"You’ll do just fine, I’m sure."

It seemed necessary to confess the untidiness of my expired passport visa.

"You see, I liked you country so much, that I left the organized tour, and now I’m here on my own. It’s great except that my visa is well expired and there’s the daily possibility that any police an or official will notice this. They’re very particular about such things."

"You’re safe here with me. They’ll never find you. Relax." Judy seemed assured about this.

"I hope you’re right." I hoped that I didn’t seem any less assured.

"It’s easy. If they are looking for a foreigner, they expect to see one. I’d guess you’re about late twenties. Your dark straight black hair is not bad. Your clothes are the give-away. I have an idea. Wait right here a moment with Ming-Ming. I trust you."

Judy leapt to her feet and speedily made off for the nearby Department Store. Moment’s later she returnend carrying a large bag.

"How’s he been?" Judy asked.

"Fine. We enjoyed a little more lunch but only some of it went inside."

"Listen carefully." Judy explained. "There are cops in the mall doing id checks for something. You can’t go now or they will surely find you. Here’s the plan. At this time of year, no cop will bother a graduating high-school student. We just make you look like one. I have uniform vouchers for my niece’s High School, so I got one for you. Take the bag to the men’s room and change. Put everything you have in the bag. We’ll be here for you."

The distant sight of two large policemen questioning a shopper had me speeding for the restroom.

Inside the bag was the modern simple school uniform common in the big cities. A two piece training suit in the panelled colors of the school is worn over a white tee, underwear and white sneakers or canvas shoes. Not very shapely or inspiring as any high-schooler will tell you, but practical So off with the old and on with the new. Judy had thought of everything, but the white underwear was skimpy indeed, and the suit was only barely big enough. No time to complain now. Soon I emerged with bag in hand, with ’Fourth District High-School - The Champions’ over my back.

Judy looked me over and smiled. "You need a little more work, I think, then you’ll do just fine."

We walked out of the mall to her Audi A6. Ming-ming was installed and I was set beside him.

"We’re going to stop off at a friend." Judy announced as we joined the busy traffic. A couple of cellphone conversations and we arrived at a small store,a spa offering massage, facials and whatnot.

Judy ushered me in and set me down in a reclining chair. A hairdresser washed and massaged something into the scalp and face, then it was off to a bed where more massage and cream was massaged all over. The cream had an initial sting and then felt so good. I dozed and was awakened by Judy.

"Come. How do you feel?" She asked.

"I feel fine, best for a long time!"

"Take a look at yourself." She led the way to a full length mirror. The suit now fitted well, even if a little loosely, the facial had taken years of my face, and the hair appeared decidedly longer and shone a brilliant blue-black.

"Wow..."

"There you are, a student. A good-looking student. Nobody will trouble you now." Judy paid and took us back to the car.

I was a little unclear what had happened in there, but I was certainly of lighter build and would now pass for a student with out a doubt.

"Thank you, Judy. What can I do to repay you?"

"Never mind about that, you already have. You’ll be the best playmate for Ming-Ming when you’re finished."

Judy took us home to her spacious townhouse and set Ming-Ming down for a nap. Then she took out a huge towel and spread it on the couch.

"Time for more lotion." Judy announced. "Face down!"

The same lotion was applied and worked in all over. Finally she came to my rear and I tightened.

"Relax, you big baby!" She teased.

I did. The sensation was so pleasurable.

"What did you just do?" I demanded.

"Oh, I just slipped a little something inside to help. Take a nap now?" Judy encouraged. A shower and redressing in High-School kit had me dozing comfortably for I don’t know how long.

A call to the bathroom made me get to my feet. The uniform seemed a little different in color and style, but otherwise much the same. I dropped the pants to take a leak. Everything was different. I tried, but there was nothing but a barely visible tiny pee-pee which had an opening near its base. The scrotum was also tiny and empty. Not a hair was anywhere to be seen. I had to sit. Business done, I called out,

"Judy? What the f*ck are you doing?"

"Just coming. Sweetheart, what is it?" She asked.

"Everything is different about me now."

"I know. You are now safe, with a new life. It doesn’t feel bad does it? You’ll be finished soon." She seemed almost reassuring.

Just then another call of nature had me back to bathroom. A strain was followed by a strange wet sensation, then a coolness. A gentle wipe showed a cleft between the now solid lips were the scrotum had been. The pee-pee had quite hidden inside.

A shower was necessary as much for contemplation of the new situation, as to clean and explore the new parts. Soon I was back in the rather too big uniform, and an approving Judy was suggesting it was now time for bed.

The guest room was small but well furnished. A double bed was turned down and a girl’s night dress lay on it.

"Undress," encouraged Judy. "Now put it on. I expect you never have before, maybe taken a few off, I suspect!" she said with a smile and chuckle. she raised the soft garment over my head and it instantly fell all round. I was standing in a pink nightie!

"Do your teeth and wash your face. We have a fun day tomorrow!"

A sleep and many dreams then Judy entered to draw the curtains to welcome the day.

"Here. " she said, as the laid out some clothes on the bed. "Try these for size".

Dressing and hairbrushing and soon a young lady of about ten years stood infront of the mirror. A pretty party dress was completed by red shoes, white socks and a red bow on the pony-tail. "I have a pony-tail?"

"Yes. Cute isn’t it?" Judy assured. "Today we’ll go to the mall to get a few things before we leave town for a couple of weeks."

We returned to the same mall, and soon I had a small but very cool new wardrobe. The point was proved when a trip to the photo studio resulted in several prints of a very beautiful Judy and here two youngsters, looking very Asian, and cute as buttons.

The trip to the in-laws was a long freeway drive out into rural Hebei. The in-laws welcomed Ming-Ming but after a few words from Judy, we were all welcomed together. It was as if this was my new family. A couple of days later, we went to a lake for a picnic. Ming-Ming and I splashed about on the sandy shore, and had a great time in the warm sun. We both went to sit on a big towel to dry off. After a brief rub down, I had a great thirst.

"Here." said Judy as she offered a mug. "This will make you feel better."

It was strange, and disorienting, as if it was unexpectedly greatly alcoholic. I sat, then I lay, and Judy gave a hug. As I looked up at those big beautiful eyes, they seemed even bigger. Then she gently squeezed a hand, and smiled, the full lips almost in a kiss.

"You’ll do." she purred.

Moments later I was standing unsteadily, dressed in a pink romper, next to Ming-Ming sporting a fine blue one. Both were swiftly powdered, diapered and then matching pacifiers and hats completed the outfits. The in-laws took many photos, and made many approving noises. Then Judy bent down and scooped us both up onto her lap. Judy nursed both infants and as little eyes began to close, she whispered,

"There sweethearts, you finished up as the best playmates ever. Sleep tight.
