“I’m sorry Mister Blandings, but we really can’t let you go until our engineer mages have done something about that voice of yours”, said the manager of Hidden In Plain Sight, “Your voice is still far too deep, almost like it was when you were a man.” “When I was a man? What are you going on about?” said George Blandings, who had gone to HiPS in the mistaken belief that they provided what he had been told were the best costumes and disguises you could find, so he had gone there to get dolled up so he could play a trick on his sister by showing up at her girls only pre-wedding party. That it was a deeply hidden place where real workers of magic saw to it that people could get a whole new, one way trip, no take backs, self to hide from whatever they were hiding from… well who would have ever believed that was the case?But that was indeed what it was, and what had happened when George had thought he had fallen asleep while they put on his disguise, but really had turned him from his five foot, eleven inch twenty-six year-old former male self, into a petite five foot three inch girl of only 18. “Well, if you wish, we can leave the voice a bit on the husky side,” said the manager, “but let our voice witch work on you and I’m sure we can make it into a very lovely contralto.” To cut to the chase, it took some convincing, but after a look under her new silk dress George at last came to grips with what had happen, and was even still able to take part in her sisters wedding, as the new Maid of Honor. And at the reception, everyone was indeed impressed with the singing voice of Bettie Blandings surprise kid sister Georgena. -- source link
