Nobody knew the real identity of Tracy when she walked
towards the dinner party at the far side of the pool. It felt so good walking
into a crowd of people she knew in a tight dress. Her old life as Larry was
gone forever.
In high society people are always friendly at parties.
Everyone assumes someone else invited people they are not familiar with. Tracy
played the game well. She led people she talked with into believing she was
invited when it was really her parent’s home. Even Tracy’s parents were unaware
of who she was. They thought it was the people who moved in down the street
last month.
Tracy started dropping hints as late afternoon bled into
evening. Every guest knew Larry and his desire for a sex change, but in a
social setting crowd mentality took over. Nobody had a clue who he was. Tracy
enjoyed the game. Finally, late into the evening, she stepped on a chair and
got everyone’s attention. The crowd was silent when he said he was Larry and
went to the swapping factory. Once the initial silence was broken Tracy was
congratulated by all. Even her mother gave her a hug. Dad settled for a
handshake, son or daughter.
