Lucy came down the stairs the next morning to find the entire house was so clean it shone. Not a speck of dirt or dust, not a thing out of place. Sweety was already in the kitchen making breakfast. Lucy looked about, "Where is Alex?"

"Master is still asleep. But I sense he will wake soon so I must have breakfast ready for him." Without Lucy even needing to ask, a plate was set at her spot and the girl spun away back to the food still cooking like a ballerina.

There were pancakes and bacon, syrup from their refrigerator but also bowls of toppings the familiar must have whipped up herself. Lucy remembered how good Sweety's cooking was last night so she immediately began cutting into the pancakes and eating.

Alex walked into the kitchen still yawning and stretching his limbs. He saw Lucy at the table, eyes closed and chewing, a look on her face like she was on the verge of an orgasam. She opened her eyes to see her brother and squealed like a little girl.

"Alex, it's the pancakes from that lodge in Aspen. She made the pancakes from Aspen." Lucy took another bite and gave her brother a stern look. "Alex, I swear to God, if you don't bed this girl soon, I will!"

Before Alex could even object to his sister's crass comment, Sweety's voice piped up, "I was in Master's bed last night, miss Lucy."

Alex's stomach sank as Lucy's eyes grew wide. " Oh my God Alex, you didn't. Did she finally give that much needed sperm reduction?"

"No!" Alex complained as Lucy rolled with laughter. "There was no sex. She… she just slept cuddled up in front of me."

"Oh," said Lucy miming a tear running down her cheek, "you spooned with her? That's so cute. And it's at least a step in the right direction." Lucy finished her plate and grunted. "Though if this keeps up I'm going to have to add another gym day." As she patted her abs.

"Yeah, right." Jibed Alex, "like you've ever put on an ounce of fat in your life, no matter what you ate."

Alex wasn't fat. But his soft belly had never had six pack abs. Unlike his sister who for as long as he could remember had the chiseled physique of a Greek goddess. Alex was suddenly plagued by strange doubts, like would Sweety prefer a less doughy master. Someone like one of those ripped gym guys that constantly hung off his sister.

"And fuck if I'm going to start now." Scoffed Lucy. She gazed at the little familiar girl, "You realize she is still in just your t-shirt."

Alex was playing with his breakfast, trying to shake off those weird, nagging doubts from he had no idea where. "I've not exactly had a chance to go shopping since last night."

Lucy thought briefly on the idea of her brother taking a girl clothes shopping. "Oh, hell no." She said standing up. "You finish your food," she said to Alex, "Sweety, come with me." She told the familiar, holding out a hand to her.

"I should clean up." She protested.

"It's fine, leave it." She said, taking the girl's hand. "It's my kitchen, after all."

She led the girl upstairs as Alex ate his food. Lucy found her shortest summer dress to put on Sweety. It still reached her mid-shins and she had to tie the shoulder straps together on her back to keep it over the girl's breasts. Lucy found some old scuba shoes of hers for Sweety to wear. They were still too big but she could flop around in them till they found something in her size.

Sweety looked at the clothes she now wore, "I think I like Master's shirt better."

Lucy bent down to look the girl in the eye. "These are just so we can go out and buy you your own clothes. Pretty clothes. Clothes your Master," Lucy found it harder than she thought to refer to her little brother by that title, "will be happy to see you in." This seemed to placate the girl a little better.

Lucy put some finishing touches on herself and guided Sweety downstairs. Alex was on the couch by the time the ladies made it down. "Not bad." Alex commented on the baggy dress.

"This travesty is only to cover her naked butt till we find her better outfits." Said Lucy with a sideways glance. "Not you," she snapped as Alex began to stand, "you're staying here. You will be less than useless shopping for girls' clothes, and you know it."

Alex sat back down and noticed the look in Sweety's eyes. He took her other hand, "it's ok, Sweety. Lucy is my sister, you can trust her to keep you safe. And I don't mind her doing this for you. She's right, I have no taste in clothes." Alex kissed her on the hand and Sweety seemed a lot more confident leaving with Lucy. When the women left the apartment, Sweety's eyes were wide as she took in everything outside. The trees along the street, the line of connected townhouses that spread out to either side of the one they came out of, the singing of the birds and the frolicking of squirrels up and down the trees. As Lucy pulled the girl to her Camaro, she noticed the girl's distracted state.

"That's right, you've never been outside." She was literally born yesterday, Lucy thought, this is going to be harder than I thought. She made a decision right there before she ushered the girl into her car.

The first store Lucy went to she bought Sweety a pink sundress, some pretty sandals and most importantly, underwear. As she slid the silky pink underwear on the girl she remarked, "Finally, no more flashing that little kooch at us. Cute as it is"

She dressed her in a matching bra and put the clothes she came in into the bag instead. Sweety wore her new clothes out of the store. They shopped for hours. Lucy ended up spending more than she intended. Before Lucy began conquering every sport, she remembered playing with dolls as a girl. She stopped seeing the point after she discovered more physical activities. But she felt like a little girl again on this shopping trip. She felt like Sweety was like having her own living doll, and Lucy was having a blast dolling her up so to speak. Lucy quickly figured out Sweety looked best in sundresses and little baby doll dresses. These really accentuated her innocent beauty. And Lucy couldn't help smiling devilishly knowing the effect they would have on her brother. But she had to go for a slam dunk and the girls found their last stop a fetish costume shop.

Lucy was finally beat. The athletic Lucy was rarely at a loss for stamina but this excursion had taken a lot out of her. Before leaving the mall, Lucy sat Sweety down on a bench with their bags so she could stop at the coffee stand. Sweety was holding one of the plastic cases from one of the bags.

"What is this?" She asked.

"That's make-up." Explained Lucy. "It's something women wear to make them even more pretty." Not that she needs that, a sudden pang of jealousy slipped into Lucy's mind.

Lucy shook off that thought and went to get her coffee. She may not eat but I need a pick me up, thought lucy. As she waited for her beverage Lucy became aware of Sweety's sweet voice, but it sounded distressed.

"No, only Master."

"No only Master may touch." She was standing by the bench where Lucy had left her, with two sketchy guys trying to insert themselves into her company. One of the men kept trying to lift up the tail of Sweety's sundress, and the other kept making crude comments at her objections while grasping at his crotch..

"I can be your master, doll. Yea, I can show you what a REAL master is."

Coffee forgotten, Lucy ran to the distraught girl.

"Hey, back off!" Screamed Lucy.

"Don't worry, Hardbody," said the crass one, "we got plenty for you and your friend here.

Lucy walked up to him wearing a sweet smile as she put her arms around his neck. "Oh baby, are you sure you do?"

The man sprouted a perverted grin for all of about two seconds as Lucy's very quick, very strong knee collided with his groin with a resounding crunch. An elbow to the head sent the man crashing to the floor.

"Hey, bitch." Said the voyeur as he reached for Lucy. She grabbed his wrist with her left hand as she drove the heel of her right hand into his nose, rotating her wrist as it impacted. The cartilage snapped in two places spraying his face with blood. She spun his arm in a circle flipping the stunned man onto his back.

Lucy grabbed Sweety's hand, snatched up their bags and pulled her away from the scene.

Sweety looked back at the men laying on the floor as they left. "They were not very nice. But you handled them wonderfully, miss Lucy."

"Yea, I kicked their asses." Said Lucy, annoyed as she made a beeline to her car.

Alex was going through the book again. He has discovered another spell he could perform. Apparently he couldn't perform it before because he tried it before trying Luminos Plasmos. The two were similar. Alex hypothesized he needed to learn some spells first, to kind of unlock others. It started the same, but he could hold the energy out in front of his hand for a few seconds like a disk. He was practicing for a while until he started getting distracted. It had been a few hours, and he found he kept thinking about Sweety. Why was he starting to worry? She was with Lucy, she should be fine, he told himself repeatedly. So why am I worried, he thought.

Then the thoughts came flooding to his mind. What if someone figured out what she was? What would they do to her? No, surely no one could figure that out. She seems perfectly human. There was nothing to suggest she wasn't just a regular girl. But what if someone could sense it? The magic in grandfather's book was real, surely others out there somewhere knew magic as well. And not just other people, if familiars were real, what other magical creatures really existed? What kind of dangers were out there, a threat to Sweety? Could he keep her safe? Why did that thought worry him so much?

Alex was practically in a cold sweat when he heard Lucy's car pull up in front of the house. "Finally." He whispered.

Alex was up and had the door open by the time the girls had reached the porch. Lucy was laden with shopping bags from various stores but Alex didn't see Sweety.

His sister noticed the genuine fear in her brother's eyes, "she's getting the rest of the bags from the trunk, Romeo. Calm down. I came up first to unlock the door."

"No…I wasn't…" Alex began.

"Bullshit, you were panicking. I saw it on your face." Lucy cocked her head back toward the car. "That, and she was feeling it for the last 20 minutes. She was positively antsy the whole ride home."

At the mention of her, Alex could now see Sweety gliding up the walk, bags her hands, the hem of her little pink sundress swishing along with her hips. The book dropped from Alex's hand as he took in the sight of her.

Lucy smiled as she pushed past her brother in the doorway, "you're welcome." She whispered in his ear. "Am I good or what?" As she set the bags down in the house.

Sweety dropped the bags on the porch and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Master, I felt your fear. Are you ok?"

He picked her up by her waist, and he could literally feel the fear draining out of him. She seemed to weigh practically nothing. "I'm fine, maybe just a little worried with how long you were gone."

"I'm sorry Master, I didn't mean to take so long. It was just so much fun."

He smiled at the tiny girl. "I'm glad it was fun. I want you to enjoy yourself." He placed his fingers under either side of her face and looked in her eyes. The glow of her eyes was visible in the shade of the porch, and he felt like he could just fall into her eyes.

Alex put the girl down and grabbed the bags she carried from the car. "You got a lot." As he put the bags down next to Lucy's. "Please, tell me you got some things for yourself."

"Nope, this is all for Sweety." Replied Lucy. "She's a girl Alex, we need more than the average guy."

"Where do we put it all?" He asked.

"Um, in your room." Lucy said, raising an eyebrow at him."you barely use your closet, there's plenty of room in there."

"I mean," he said sheepishly, "do you think she needs her own room?"

Lucy stopped sorting through the bags to look at him as if he just said the sky is purple. "Alex, do you honestly believe you'll ever be able to convince her to sleep in a room without you? She's your magical girlfriend, she stays with you."

Alex was turning red again from his sister's prodding. "I told you it's nothing like that."

"Uh huh." Lucy picked up two of the bags and turned to Sweety gesturing to the rest of the bags. "Take these up to Alex's closet and put them away." She held up the other two bags in front of her and jiggled them a little bit. "When you're done, meet me in my room."

She turned to Alex, who wore an expression of bewilderment. "You," she poked a finger into his chest, "will go upstairs when she comes out and change into something nice. Date clothing! If you want her to be treated like a real person, YOU have to take her out tonight, YOU have to show her how to have fun. And YOU, have to show her this world you've dropped her into. Whether you want to think of her as your girlfriend or not, YOU are responsible for her. And if you want her to be treated as a real person one of those responsibilities is her happiness."

Alex stepped back from his sister's barrage. He'd seen her like this before. There was a girl at their old school that was kind of a plain Jane. She wasn't ugly, but she wasn't a beauty. That, and the rumor was she liked girls. She spent her days at school being harangued by the boys at the school. Her name was Zoe, and they called to her like she was a dog. Whistling, and shouting, 'here Zoe, Here girl' laughing the whole time. Lucy got help from her with school work because Zoe was smart and while Lucy wasn't dumb, she was falling behind with all her athletic stuff. Lucy got to know Zoe, and she got to really like her. Soon after, Lucy overheard their taunting of Zoe and she exploded on a group of guys. She pushed and shoved, hurled insults at them including about their manhoods, She may have even made a few of them cry. She came down on them like a fiery red amazon warrior. They never taunted Zoe again after that, the guys on campus gave Zoe a wide berth. They were too afraid of Lucy. Her and Zoe are still friends, she was at another college studying literature Alex thought. The two still talk sometimes. Alex even developed a slight crush on Zoe during high school. So the gay rumor disappointed him alot.

But it was obvious Lucy liked Sweety. She had grown attached to her in a day. And Alex wasn't about to suffer the fate of Those guys in high school.

Lucy went upstairs and closed her door. A few minutes later Sweety exited his room and stood in front of Lucy's door looking at Alex over the railing. "It's ok," he mouthed to her, waving his hands toward Lucy's room. "Go ahead."

Alex didn't know why, but this development filled him with dread.

Alex looked into his closet. Sweety had organized the boxes he had previously just tossed into there. They were neatly stacked and out of the way of his clothes, the few of which he had she had pushed to the right side. On the left were her new outfits, they took up half the closet from the left side. Alex was too worried to actually sift through them, but he could tell most of them were either very silky, or very lacey. Lucy had bought her outfits that would leave her definitely dolled up. He looked over at his dresser and saw she had reordered the top of it too. She had to make room for cases of makeup and jewelry Lucy had gotten her.

Alex let his head thump against the closet door and sighed as the truth finally penetrated his slow male brain. Lucy was dolling Sweety up right now for this date she was pushing them on tonight. Alex didn't know how he was going to survive this night.

He sighed again, steeled himself and grabbed the polo he wore on the couple dates he had been on in his life. Girls didn't exactly throw themselves at guys like Alex. His dating pool had been as deep as a reflection fountain. He dug out a nice pair of jeans from his dresser and slipped on his interview shoes. Lastly he combed his unruly auburn hair.

Alex slumped on the couch and waited. It was nearly six when Lucy came out of her room. She came downstairs with a 'cat that ate the canary' grin on her face.

She looked at Alex and her expression changed to disappointment. "That is what you wear on dates?"

"On the two I've had in my life, yes." Snapped Alex as he stood up and straightened himself.

"It's… ok I guess." She conceded. "Ready Sweety." Lucy called upstairs.

The door opened and Sweety gingerly stepped out. Lucy had put her in a little pink babydoll-like dress. She even had white thigh high nylons with white wedge heel sneakers. Silver teardrop earrings hung from her ears and she had tied a pink ribbon in a bow on top of her hair. The ribbon ran behind her ears and her hair. And she had continued the pink motif on Sweety with sparkly pink eyelids and glossy pink lips. Sweety descended the stairs slower than usual, at Lucy's prompting no doubt, and Alex couldn't take his eyes off her.

Before she got to Alex he groaned to his sister, "I really hate you sometimes."

"Then my work here is done."
