Note: After the last chapter, I didn't really know what to do. I'm writing this as I'm typing so I hope it works out.

Chapter Nine

Courtney wasn't too happy about walking back to her cabin without Jason after lunch. To make matters worse, Courtney and Jason couldn't spend an afternoon activity together. Courtney rested in her bed with the headphones on, trying to catch a little bit of sleep.

Carly walked in, making a grand entrance, as always. Instead of doing anything else, she climbed onto Courtney's bed.

"What happened," Carly whispered.

"How did you know?"

"How could I not have known? You two were practically attached when you entered the Lodge!"

"Well, yes, something did indeed happen."

"How far?"

"You sure like to get to the point."

"And you don't. Now will you tell me or do I have to ask Jason?"

"Don't do that! I'd be mortified."

"Well then?"

Courtney looked around to make sure no one was listening or looking. Everyone except Liz was in the cabin and they were minding their own business. Courtney leaned forward so her hair covered her face and stuck out her tongue ever so briefly.

Carly yelped in delight of receiving this juicy news. She really thought Courtney and Jason looked cute together.

"Well," started Carly," tonight's evening activity is gender bender. That's when couples trade roles in clothing. I'll make sure you and Jason are together for that."

"Thanks Carly."

------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey man," Sonny greeted.

"Hey," Jason responded.

"So what's new?"

"Nothing..."

"I know that isn't the truth but I'll respect that anyway. Carly will probably suck it out of Courtney and tell me. Listen, tonight is gender bender. Courtney will probably be paired up with you so I suggest you clean up this mess you call a living area!"

Jason knew Sonny was joking about that last statement. Jason's area looked like a hotel room it was so tidy. In any event, Jason appreciated Sonny giving him the heads up. Who knew what Courtney was going to make him wear.

------------------------------------------------------------

After dinner, Courtney and Jason met outside the Lodge. It was decided the would go to Jason's cabin to dress Courtney first.

They walked in the warm evening air to Jason's cabin and when they arrived, no one was there.

"What to dress you in..."

"How about a pair of your shorts and one of your sexy wifebeaters?" The part about 'your sexy wifebeaters' was a slip. Courtney blushed and looked away as Jason attempted to make eye contact.

Jason pulled out a pair of baggy shorts and one of his wifebeaters and handed it to Courtney. She began to change in the middle of the cabin and Jason put his hand on her shoulder.

"You know there is a bathroom you could change in?"

"Yeah, but I figured you've already seen me in less clothing than now. If you want I'll go in the bathroom."

"I think I'll live if you change right here," Jason concluded. As Courtney changed, Jason didn't even blink. The shorts fell a few times Courtney also borrowed a pair of boxers so they could sag halfway down her butt. The wifebeater was a little low cut for Courtney but Jason didn't mind so they proceeded to Courtney's cabin.

As they entered Courtney said a brief, "Your mine!" Her cabin was also oddly empty so they could talk without being overheard.

"What does 'your mine' mean," Jason asked nervously.

"It means you won't fit into any of my shorts or pants and you know what that means..." Courtney said as she pulled out a denim miniskirt. She then went back into her cubby and pulled out a tight pink shirt.

Jason put it on reluctantly. He knew that no one was ever going to let him forget this.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to gender bender 2003," Sonny shouted in front of all the oldest kids. There were a few cheers as the fashion show began.

Almost everyone in the crowd could see how good Courtney and Jason looked together. Everyone that is, besides those who were jealous.

"Courtney is really getting to Jason," Carly stated to Sonny.

"What makes you think that?"

"Well, beside the look in his eyes, my guess is it takes someone really special to get Jason Morgan to wear a pink shirt with a miniskirt!"
