I've been toying with the idea for over a year. It's set in my DNA universe, but it is not a continuation of the main storyline. It's set about ten years after the first story. My next story is called 'It's Hard to be a Man' and after that I'll finally get to DNA III. My website is at http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/2525. There you'll find out a little about me and where my stories are archived. If you are an author of TG stories and you would like to put a similar page up on that site, let me know.

His reflection looked male enough, but he knew that the part of him that really mattered was anything but male. He sighed and collapsed on the water bed. It bulged dangerously, but held. It was made of some sort of amazingly tough fabric that probably wouldn't have split even if he jumped on it. How could he have any hope with Sarah now that he was a girl? His insane gamble had failed after all. He was stuck for the rest his life as a centaur. As much as he had enjoyed the power of his new form, the knowledge that he was now female took all the fun out of it. What was he going to do for the rest of his life? There was no way he was going to ever use his new equipment. The idea of having sex as a mare disgusted him. He wondered if there were lesbian centaurs around? He spent most of the rest of the weekend in the hostel room. Sarah was concerned, but Robert told her he was okay. Only the need to earn money persuaded him to go back to Sarah's work place on the Monday morning. Sarah was becoming increasingly worried over Robert. She had barely known him a few days, but she had found his naivete refreshing. There was no doubt something had clicked between them, but since the visit to Nick that Robert had virtually disappeared. She made sure she was working with him that day as they cleared the last of the trees. He did as he was told and learnt quickly, but Sarah was lucky to get more than a dozen words out of him all day. She lagged behind the other centaurs as they returned to the hostel that evening so she could talk to Robert. "It hurts to see you this way. What's the matter? Do you want to talk about it." Robert sighed, "No, I can't do anything about it anyway." "I always think that sharing troubles helps to defeat them." "I'm not sure discussing it with you would be a good idea." "What's that supposed to mean?" Sarah asked. "It's not your fault. It's just that I wasn't straight with you about all the reasons for becoming a centaur in the first place. What I said about being bored with my job and my life is all true. But there was one more reason that made me choose to become a centaur." "Which is?" she prompted. "I used to drive along this road on my way to work," Robert said, "and every day I'd see you working here." "Whoa! Let's get this straight. You did all that just so you could get closer to me?" Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I know. It's only now that I realize how stupid I was to do this." Sarah was dumbstruck. On one hand it was flattering to be so desired that a man would turn himself into a centaur just to get closer to her. On the other hand it was an insanely stupid reason to so radically change the whole direction of his life. "...and this is the reason you've become so withdrawn. You've realized, too late, that a centaur life isn't for you?" "No! There is a freedom with this form that I've never felt before. I never realized how great it was to be a centaur. I've never been happier than when we were charging about that field." "So it _was_ something that Nick told you?" "Yeah." When she realized he wasn't going to add to that Sarah asked, "Well? What is it? Come on, Robert. I don't like seeing you this miserable." Robert stopped and leaned over to Sarah. He checked up and down the street before speaking. "I found out I have Gifford's Syndrome," he said in an quiet and embarrassed tone. Sarah looked puzzled for a few seconds and then her eyes widened in realization. "You mean, you didn't know?" "Of course not! I was still getting used to having four legs. I didn't know anything like this could happen!" he stopped and frowned at her. "Wait a minute, you're not surprised. You already knew! Nick told you!" "He didn't tell me anything! You only have to look to realize you had Gifford's Syndrome." Robert's face drained of all color. "You mean any centaur can tell I'm...female?" "Yeah, and quite a few unchanged people as well." "Oh my God!" He exclaimed, looking very shaken. Sarah belatedly realized that Robert had no idea that his condition was obvious to so many people. "As Nick must have told you, no centaur discriminates against centaurs with the condition. It's a risk we all took when we were transformed. The vast majority of unchanged humans won't be able to tell." "But how am I supposed to live with this? I've been disfigured for life!" Sarah put an arm around him to console him. "I'm sure everything will work out. You got yourself turned into a centaur without any real thought and things haven't turned out that badly, have they? You're healthy and you've said you prefer the lifestyle over your old job. You could have ended up in a far worse position." "Could I?" he asked her a little more sharply than he had intended. "Yes!" she replied emphatically. "The DNA virus you got from the pusher could have killed you. Or something even worse could have happened. I heard of a DNA pusher who was passing off a basic horse virus as a centaur one." Robert looked at her in horror. "You mean they were turned totally into horses?" "Yeah. The police reckon he transformed at least eight people before he was caught." "I never realized the risk I was running." Sarah was right, things could be far worse, but this was bad enough. "But what am I going to do now?" "Live your life. It seems like the end of the world, Robert, I know how you feel, but life does go on." Robert nodded, but didn't seem that convinced. Over the next week, Sarah did her best to keep him occupied and stop him brooding on his problem. She wasn't doing it entirely for Robert's benefit. Despite his problem, Sarah found he made an attractive centaur. As the week passed, Robert seemed to lift out of his depression, but Sarah could still see he was upset over what had happened to him. She was sure that given time he could get over it. He was far from the first centaur to suffer from it. Many other centaurs had it and had gone on to lead happy lives. Robert was also a little embarrassed over his admission of why he had become a centaur in the first place. Sarah would joke at his expense about it, though she was always careful not to make it look like she thought it was a stupid thing to do. His ego was at a low ebb as it was. For his part, Robert enjoyed the attention he was getting from Sarah. This was what he had been after in the first place anyway, but he still felt the whole thing was spoiled by the fact that they could never be more than friends. Girlfriends at that. At the end of the week he and Sarah were out the back of the hostel enjoying the last few days of summer. "I'm going to my sister's for the weekend," Sarah announced out of the blue. "Do you want to come too?" "Well, I don't know..." "No arguing, you need cheering up." Robert didn't really feel like doing anything, but he'd rather stick with Sarah than spend the weekend alone. He'd been feeling a little odd towards the end of the week and he didn't know quite what to put it down to. He felt he had got over the initial shock of his discovery, but he was still depressed by the way his life had taken such an unexpected turn. "Your sister won't mind me, what with my condition and all?" Robert asked. "No," Sarah replied adamantly," she won't care! You won't be the first centaur she's met with the condition." "Well...okay then." "Great, she'll be here in half an hour to pick us up. Just time to stretch our legs. Her truck will be a bit cramped with two of us." She kicked off and charged away from Robert. He grinned and tried to catch up with her. Sarah hadn't been joking. Her sister's truck had been designed for holding just one centaur, but two could just fit in it. The back was open to the elements, though thick roll bars welded to the truck would protect Robert and Sarah in an accident. "My husband fitted them," Sarah's sister explained. Her name was Jennifer and she had a strong family resemblance to Sarah. There was barely enough room in the back for Sarah and Robert, but they managed to squeeze on it together. The entire length of Robert's flank was pressed against Sarah's. Despite himself, he found himself getting more than a little turned on. Now he knew exactly what he had between his hind legs he could understand what he was feeling much better. He tried to hide his arousal from Sarah, but it wasn't helped by the way she put her arm around him during the journey. If he had been pressed against anyone else than Sarah, he wouldn't have been able to stand it, but even though they could never be more than friends he still cared for her deeply. He knew he was going to have to accept they'd never be more than friends, but the time they had spent together had only made him fall more in love with her. "Jennifer and her husband have this great farm," Sarah explained. "You can run for miles." Robert found himself looking forward to the weekend away in the countryside. If only to take his mind off his troubles. Jennifer's home was thirty minutes away and Sarah spent the time telling him what fun it was going to be. Robert couldn't believe she was just doing this just to keep his spirits up, but what sort of future could they have? Robert had trouble backing off the truck when they arrived, but after some undignified scrabbling he managed it. Jennifer's husband and daughter came out to meet them. Jennifer's daughter was about four years old and she was ecstatic to see another centaur with her aunt. "Can you take me for a ride, Aunt Sarah?" "Okay, hop on, Ashley." The child scrambled onto Sarah's back and together they shot off across the field. "She wants to be a centaur herself," explained Jennifer, "I have a feeling she'll still feel that way when she reaches eighteen and can decide to undergo the transformation." "Does that worry you?" Robert asked. "Not really, I'm used to your kind now. Back when Sarah first decided to go through with though, I just couldn't believe it. When I first saw her after the change my eyes nearly popped out of my head." "Yeah, I know what you mean." He cursed himself for the way that sounded. Jennifer laughed. "I thought I could see some chemistry between you. It's been too long since Sarah dated and you do seem made for each other." "We're just friends," he mumbled, a little embarrassed. Jennifer persisted, "She's really taken a fancy to you." "She has?" Robert's spirits rose despite the knowledge that he had no real chance with Sarah. "Yeah, she told me on the phone that you were very cute." Robert was going red, "I haven't known her that long and we're not dating or anything." he said hastily. It sounded lame even to him. "Yet," replied Jennifer. "I know my sister and I can read your face like an open book." "Stop teasing the poor guy, Jenny." Jennifer's husband told her with a smile on his face. Sarah thundered past. Ashley was squealing in delight as she held on tight to her aunt. "They'll keep at this for hours. Do you want a bite to eat? I know what sort of appetites centaurs have." "Thank you. I am feeling a bit peckish. I still haven't got used to how much I eat as a centaur." They walked over to a bench outside the house. Jennifer had set out a delicious selection of vegetables and fruit. Over the next half-hour they chatted. Sarah was careful not to go to far from the house and stayed in view of Ashley's parents at all times. Robert couldn't help but admire Sarah's athletic body as she ran. If only he didn't have that damn Gifford's Condition. He began to feel turned on again as he watched her gallop across the field. She truly was very beautiful. Eventually, she slowed down to a walk and came over to Robert and the others. Ashley was in heaven. "I'm going to be a centaur one day," she proudly announced to Robert. "Really?" "Yes! I'm going to have hooves and a tail and I'm going to run through the fields all day long!" She looked up at Sarah. "Can I ride you again, auntie." "Give me a chance to get my breath back, kid." Sarah told her. Ashley looked disappointed, then she turned to Robert. "Can I ride you, mister?" "Well...uh...I don't know." "It'll be okay," Jennifer told him, "just make sure she holds on tight." Robert felt a little uneasy as he lifted the child onto his back. The last thing he wanted to do was to drop her and ruin the whole weekend. Ashley held on tight, but Robert put his hands around her to steady her just in case. "Ready?" he asked. "Yes," Ashley announced. "Go horsy!" He moved slowly at first and then picked up speed. Ashley seemed to be holding on with no trouble and she was fully enjoying herself. He just wished she'd stop shrieking so loudly. Sarah wiped herself down with a towel and watched Robert and Ashley galloping around the field. "He is quite cute," her sister remarked. "It's good to see you with someone after all this time. "I'm not going out with him. I'm just helping him through a difficult patch, that's all." "If you say so," Jennifer replied, sounding utterly unconvinced. That night, Robert slept in a downstairs bedroom. It's oversized bed had obviously been put there for Sarah when she stayed over. Sarah was sleeping in the dining room on several spare mattresses. He felt a little uncomfortable taking her bed, but she wouldn't allow him to sleep elsewhere as he was the guest. The bed was very comfortable, but Robert had a sleepless night. He felt restless and for some reason he was aroused for most of the time. When dawn finally broke, he had had enough. As quietly as he could he went outside into the cool morning air. Robert felt the need to burn off energy and was still aroused. He decided to run off some of his energy. It still amazed him how fast he could move and he covered several fields in minutes. He wasn't aware of the heavy clouds in the sky until it started to rain. He took refuge in an empty farm building to wait until the weather cleared. As he watched by the door he saw someone running across the field towards him. It was another centaur, so it could only be Sarah. She caught up with him and ducked into the building. "Damn!" she exclaimed. "I'm soaked through!" "Were you following me?" Robert asked. "Actually, I was. Where were you going?" "I couldn't sleep." Robert told her. "Couldn't get comfortable?" she asked. "No, not exactly. I've been feeling a little odd since last night." "Oh? What do you mean by odd?" "It's a little embarrassing. It doesn't matter." He was beginning to wish he hadn't mentioned it. "I'll be the judge of that. It could be something important and you don't have to worry about shocking me." "Well...ever since last night...I've been excited...you know... sexually." Realization dawned on Sarah. "Ah, I know exactly what the problem is. Horses have a breeding cycle and that couldn't be completely edited out of the centaur form." "You mean I'm in heat?!" Robert couldn't believe he was hearing this. "This just gets worse and worse!" "Relax, you can easily control yourself. You won't go and lose control when you around stallions or male centaurs. There's a pill nearly all female centaurs use that reduce the effects down to nothing." Robert's face brightened, "Thank God! Can I have some of yours then?" Sarah looked a little embarrassed. He sighed, "you're one of the few who doesn't use them, aren't you?" "I don't use them because I don't need them." "Why not?" "Why not!" she said in surprise. "Robert, you've been watching me all week and you still haven't noticed?" "Noticed what?" Sarah held Robert's hand, "I have Gifford's Condition as well." Robert froze, "You mean, you're...um...a man." "No!" she shouted in mock anger and gave his head a playful slap. "I still think of myself as female. That's why I understand what you're going through and why I've helped you so much." "That's not the only reason is it?" Robert said, "I know I got myself changed for a really stupid reason, but we have got something going haven't we?" Sarah backed off a little, "yeah, I suppose we have and you are the first man with Gifford's that I've ever fallen for." Robert found himself getting even more aroused. "This isn't quite what I intended, but I really want to do it with you. Even if you are on top instead of me." She sighed, "that's just the hormones talking." "Maybe just a bit, but you want to just as much as me, don't you?" Sarah sighed. The thing was, Robert was absolutely right. She had known many centaurs with Gifford's Condition, but she had never been as strongly attracted to any of them as she was to Robert. She had only had sex several times since becoming a centaur and she had never really been able to fully enjoy it. Her desire was increasing and she could feel her member growing. "I do want to make love to you, Robert. I just don't want to ruin what we have." "You won't," he said with a smile and kissed her. Robert could feel her aroused nipples through the fabric of her bikini top. He reached behind Sarah and undid her top. As he pulled it away he caressed one of her breasts with his hand. Sarah felt herself weakening. He was very cute and it had been so long since the last time she had had sex. "Okay, Robert. I'll give you what you want, just don't complain when I fill you up." Sarah stepped away and Robert got his first view of her erect penis. His head was buzzing from what he was about to do. It wasn't quite what he had intended, but at last he was going to do it with Sarah. Even so, half of him wanted to go no further. He fought down his fear, he couldn't afford to drive away Sarah. She was the most important part of his life now. Sarah moved to Robert's rear. He lifted his tail out of the way and steadied himself. Sarah reared up and then down on to Robert's back. Slowly, she worked her way forward until her penis reached the entrance to Robert's vagina. Robert was surprised how heavy Sarah was, but he could bare the weight. He almost bucked when he felt Sarah's member reach his own private parts. His arousal and determination to not spoil the moment kept him going. Moments later Sarah began sliding inside of him. He was unable to stop himself gasping as he was penetrated. It was so utterly alien compared to the last time he had made love, but it felt somehow right. His body was doing what it had been designed for. Sarah leaned over and kissed his neck, "You okay?" she asked. "It's not what I...oh...planned, but don't stop!" "I had absolutely no intention of doing so." Robert was lost in the immensely strange yet fantastic feeling of penetration. He reached behind him and stroked Sarah as she rode him. He felt himself building to a climax and when it hit his legs almost gave way. The sensation washed through him and Sarah wasn't finished yet. Despite the ecstasy he felt, part of him still felt some revulsion to what he was doing. If Sarah's human half had been so obviously female he wouldn't have been able to stand it. She gripped his shoulders and her nails dug in. She was near her own climax and she knew she wasn't going to able to hold on much longer. The pressure became unbearable and her human half collapsed forward onto Robert's. As she gripped him tight she orgasmed. They remained locked together for a little time. Neither of them wanting to break the moment. Eventually Sarah withdrew and moved unsteadily off Robert's back. He looked at Sarah and smiled. Being the female was still going to take a lot of getting used to, but somehow it had just got a lot more bearable. It was an odd way to make love, but it seemed to work for both of them. Sarah recovered her bikini top. The rain had topped and the sun was out. Together they headed down to a stream to wash themselves off. "Are you okay?" Sarah asked. "You've been a bit quiet since we did 'it'." "I'm fine, Sarah. You don't need to worry." he reassured her. "I still can't believe you got yourself transformed just to get to me." He shrugged. "Don't knock it, it worked. Not quite the way I intended, but I'm not complaining." "No?" she replied. "I told you it wasn't the end of the world, didn't I?" "Yeah, you did." he admitted. "This is going to take quite some getting used to. Why didn't you tell me you had Gifford's Condition as well earlier?" "It wasn't any of your business at the time. Anyway, the evidence was in plain sight all the time, if you'd used your eyes." She also suspected he would have completely freaked out if he had learnt she had male equipment a week or so before. Now, he seemed to have got over the initial shock. "I'm going to need a crash course in centaur anatomy," Robert remarked. "You just had that," Sarah replied with a broad smile. "Heh! That's true. So...you up for another round?" Sarah laughed, "Typical woman! Never satisfied! You're lucky I didn't just roll over and go to sleep. Anyway, Ashley will be wanting more rides this morning and we'll need to have some energy left." "She can wait. I want to give you another ride first." "You'll have to catch me first!" She whooped and accelerated to a full gallop. Robert watched her for a second before chasing her. It was true, this wasn't at all what he had intended when he had made that mad gamble and been turned into a centaur, but it had paid off. He hadn't felt this alive in years! They hadn't know each other for that long, but he knew that this relationship was going to last. He galloped after Sarah and managed to catch her just before they reached the stream.
