An Honor to Serve

It did not feel normal to Glenn. Traveling to a new world required some commitments Glenn was beginning to have some doubts about. It sounded exotic and exciting at first, but now he looks unreal, like a plastic person, when he looks in the mirror. There was no choice, however. If you want to live on Zalikee C then you had to accept transformation into a local. As an ambassador from Earth, Glenn was required to assume a female persona.

The transformation was painless as the Zalikee doctor promised. Glenn also thinks he is very attractive; Zalikee men think so too, considering the attention they heap on Glenn. On Zalikee C Glenn needed a name worthy of an ambassador: Honor. The name seemed as strange as his look.

The different body soon became normal for Glenn as he attended dinners every night, meeting with dignitaries and other important people of Zalikee society. It soon was obvious that a beautiful single woman in a high position is in need of a husband. Glenn had to admit that life as Honor has stirred feelings he never knew he had. He started looking for the right man to share his life with. Then Ambassador Mollack of Centaur 3 came to dinner one night and Honor could not keep her eyes off him.

Six months later Honor and Ambassador Mollack were married, cementing a new alliance between Earth, Centaur 3 and Zalikee C. Today children read about the historic moment when the three worlds joined together and started the galactic alliance bringing peace to the galaxy. And it all started with Honor, a beautiful, kind, understanding woman from Earth.
