It was a week and a half after she first woke up and Sierra was in one of the Readjustment Center's gyms, enjoying a spin class with a few of the other future wealthy women of Lakeview. To her left was Bambi Erikson, a bit of a ditzy redhead with a rack even bigger than Sierra's, and on her right was Kiko Duprix, a petite Japanese-American woman with incredible long black hair, currently done up in an elaborate braid. Sierra herself had her blonde locks tied back in a high pony and wore deliciously tight pink yoga pants, and a loose sleeveless pink crop top over her sports bra.
"Alright ladies, home stretch!" the enthusiastic instructor called out, urging Sierra to give that last bit of energy to her workout. She'd never liked working out as Jon, but there was something so euphoric about exercising now. Of course she wouldn't do anything to put on unsightly muscle, but cardio, pilates and yoga all turned out to be a lot of fun, and a good way to stay in shape which Sierra realized was terribly important.
"Whoa, I'm like totally exhausted after that," Bambi said as she fanned herself after the session came to an end. Sierra giggled, already finding herself endeared to her new friend. She'd been a bit skeptical of the other two women when Tracey had set up what essentially felt like an arranged playdate a few days ago, but ended up hitting it off with the other ladies right away. It was actually kind of nice to have some friends to go through this whole thing with.
It was a good thing they got along since Kiko and Bambi were slated to be two of Sierra's closest friends in the new Lakeview. Apparently she was supposed to have known both since college, with all three of them being members of the same sorority, Delta Gamma, of which Sierra had been the President. Well actually Bambi was President first, as she was a few years older than Kiko and Sierra, but passed the torch after graduation. They had all been instructed to only refer to each other by their new identities, and closely monitored, but Sierra actually found it easier to just treat them as the women they appeared to be than to guess at their old lives. After all, there was no point in starting some sort of conspiracy amongst the Lakeview residents; the way to reverse things was to get the stone, and she couldn't do that until her time in the Center came to an end, so until then it was just best to go with the flow.
Kiko took a long sip of her water bottle before asking, "you ladies have anything fun planned for this afternoon? Molly's got me studying up on this year's floral arrangements and then it's off to dance lessons." Molly was Kiko's assistant who fulfilled a similar role to Tracey. Sierra took a sip from her own water as she regarded her new friend. Kiko was a svelte elegant woman, though fairly short at only 5'2. She didn't have as much to shake in the front or the rear as Sierra, but she was undeniably beautiful. According to the backstory Sierra had been briefed on, Kiko was to be the most popular wedding planner in the new Lakeview, and indeed had apparently organized both Sierra and Bambi's weddings as well as her own. In all their interactions so far, Kiko came across as a driven yet fun woman, with an easy confidence. Even if Sierra had known Kiko's original identity, it would be hard to see perennial slacker Jay Duncan in Kiko Duprix.
"Well, I've got a bit of studying this afternoon too, but after that I get to test drive my BMW!" Sierra gushed with genuine excitement. Sure, the situation was insane, but as Jon she couldn't even afford a used clunker, and now she apparently was getting a fresh off the lot luxury car all for herself.
Bambi pouted, "Aw, no fair, that sounds like fun. I'm gonna be so jelly to be stuck in cooking class while you're zipping around." Bambi folded her arms below her enormous breasts as she spoke. If Kiko was a bit flatter in the butt and boobs department than Sierra, Bambi was on the other side of the spectrum with tits and ass for days. That said, Sierra liked to think she was a little better proportioned than her friend, with a bit more height, a slightly trimmer waist and legs to die for. Call her conceited but Sierra figured she was pretty much the goldilocks of the three, everything was just right.
Sierra gave her friend a hug, tingling slightly as their breasts smushed together a bit, "I'm sure you'll be set up with something fun to drive soon, Bambs. After all, isn't Rachel supposed to be some hot shot lawyer?" Rachel Erikson was to be Bambi's wife, though like Sierra and Kiko, Bambi had yet to meet her spouse. Bambi's new role was similar to Sierra's as the wife of one of Lakeview's most successful/wealthiest citizens.
Bambi played with a long strand of ginger hair, "I guess... I'm still so nervous about meeting her, ya know?"
Sierra nodded sympathetically and Kiko added, "I must admit to some trepidation about finally meeting Emmaline as well. I know they told us we're supposed to be part of these couples but well, it just doesn't feel real yet." Emmaline Duprix was Kiko's intended spouse, and according to what she'd been told, the lead anchor for Lakeview's new news station. The three women didn't know it yet, but the intended revamped Lakeview news was intended to be much more than just a local channel, and would be a key part of Femcorp's growing media empire.
"I know what you mean," Sierra opined, "I don't exactly feel like Mrs. Richards yet." She offered her friends a smile, "but you know, you just have to take this place one day at a time. I mean, I didn't know you two until a couple of days ago, and already you're like my best friends." Sierra surprised herself with the sincerity of the sentiment. While it was unknowingly the result of subliminal conditioning to prime her for it, she was really starting to think of Kiko and Bambi as two of her best friends, her orignal closest friend, Karyn, drifting to the back of her mind.
"You're like totally right, Sierra!" Bambi declared with a grin back on her face. Bambi was such a bright and positive person, very different from her prior identity of Sabrina Johnson, Zoe's foulmouthed borderline delinquent friend. Indeed, due to needing less extensive changes than Kiko and Sierra, Bambi had been awake the longest of the trio and was the furthest along in her mental conditioning. She playfully slapped Sierra's butt, "let's get out of these sweaty clothes so Sierra's not late for her drive, because next time I see you I want to hear all about it!"
