Three Dresses for Charlie

The Boys of Galeton

Between chores and Kate's makeup lessons, Charles didn't get much time away from Charlotte for most of the week, and he was looking forward to Wednesday (Wednesday's are always slow), as the hotel didn't have many guests, and he could wander around town as Charles. It turns out they didn't get any dinner reservations, and Ms. Hughes decided to close the kitchen for the night to give the girls a bit of time off together.

When Charlotte got back from cleaning up the four rooms that were occupied, she went back to her own room to find a bit of a surprise. Lilly, Georgia, and Kate were all trying on Charles's boy clothes. Lilly had on his brown suit, which was a tad small for her. Georgia had on his grey suit which fit her just right. And his dark blue suit was hanging off Kate, who was using a belt and rolling up the pants in order to get the suit to fit at all.

Lilly and Georgia both had their hair pushed up under caps, and there wasn't any sign of their breasts. They were helping Kate wrap an ace bandage around hers.

"What's going on?" Charlotte asked.

Lilly answered, "Oh hey Charlotte, we just wanted to try on some of Charles's clothes. Hope you don't mind."

Georgia continued the explanation even as she helped Kate close her shirt and tuck her hair up under a cap. "We all got to talking about how neat it is that you get to be a girl sometimes, and we were wondering what it would be like to be boys."

Kate took a pair of Charles's socks and stuffed them down the front of her pants. "Hope you don't mind."

Lilly and Georgia saw her do this and instantly grabbed more pairs of Charles's socks and stuffed them down their own pants.

"But you're wearing all of my boy clothes... Charles was going to go out tonight."

"Oh, sorry about that. I guess we did." Georgia apologized. "It's just for one night. You'll live."

"So what were you all going to do?" Charlie asked.

"We're going to have a boy's night out. No silly girls allowed." Lilly joked.

"But what about Charlotte?" asked Kate.

"No silly girls allowed... George, Lyle, and Keith are going carousing!" said George(Georgia).

Charlotte raised a finger. "But you're not old enough to get into bars."

"The silly girl has a point." Lyle(Lilly) poked her gently in the ribs.

Keith(Kate) interjected, "Actually there's a street carnival. It's still setting up for this weekend. But some of the games are already open."

"Still, I don't know if I want a girl around." George made a sour face at Charlotte.

"Fine, well then I'm asking her out." Keith pushed the through the other 'boys' and held Charlotte's hand. "Dear sweet Charlotte, would you do me the honor of accompanying me this evening?"

George's head snapped up. "Hey, what are you up to?"

"Well, you didn't ask her. You called her a silly girl. Besides, I burrowed something from Ms. Hughes for her." Keith went over to the closet, and pulled out a dark mauve dress with black ruffles and lace. It was long and elegant, the style that Ms. Hughes normally wore.

Charlotte's eyes glistened; she hadn't thought it was possible to lust after a dress before. "Wow, Kate... Keith. I don't know what to say. It's beautiful."

"So you'll go out with me?"

"Of course!" Charlotte tottered back and forth ogling the dress.

"Hey what about us?" Lyle looked at Charlotte with disappointed eyes.
