Before heading back out in my normal clothes, I got a quick text from Zero, telling me to meet Mikaela at the short connected bridge to the other field. Knowing what it was already about, I powered my way back into control, walking carefully to the destination.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTYrtPnqhd

Since it wasn't that long ago when by body freaked out over the headache, I was still having just a little trouble controlling my own limbs. They were weak and wobbly, like my arms or legs might suddenly fail or give out at any moment. It felt like I had to purposely send twice the amount of subconscious signals to my body to perform any action like walking or turning. God knows what damage those headaches inflict inside without me knowing.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5e3kpsxIu
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1wg1JGy7k
As I made it to the bridge, connecting the center field to the girl's side of the field, I felt just a little better. Mikaela was waiting for me as instructed. She leaned gently against the inner wood of the structure dead in the center, deterring me from having to physically step foot on the grassy lands of Wahsega where I would not be allowed to. It was as far as any boy would be allowed to travel, and Mikaela knew so.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKo9tCqSmT
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tpySNsmv9
When we greeted each other, Mikaela promptly pulled out a small bottle of glittering blue gel, allowing me to confirm the purpose of this visit. Mikaela was tasked with the decoration plan to paint my nails with nail polish. If I were to go all the way with the plan, this was one of the small requirements.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75yliErMW4
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q4n04kPiX
I've never had my nails painted before now, but the thought of having them done excited me, bringing me back awake a little faster. I leaned right next to Mikaela so that she could have unlimited access to my short finger nails, preparing the wet brush in hand.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoWbzngkJG
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRSWU3s9v
Zero and Mikaela both knew I was having a headache, but they acted as though it didn't matter for the main event. I'm glad they reacted that way, because I didn't want to cancel a single aspect of this dance, nor did I want to worry anybody about my terrible health.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbgJiol8iX
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOhu3yPRkc
"This is still so weird you know. I can't believe I'm painting a guy's nails."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIaBjf6DQ5
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxo5FWNIB0
My nails felt cold to the touch from that gel coming off the brush, but I held in any and all complaints. I wasn't willing to let a single thing bother me anymore. After what I just recovered from, after how much worse it could have been, I was glad to be back in this moment. "Ah, what's the issue? When you get back home from this fieldtrip, you can have this story to tell your friends about."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbEYX7XnO8
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdBKmXcm3z
Mikaela paused her work for a brief moment, studying my serene face with her gleaming hazel eyes. "You look a little different. Oh, you are okay from the headache, right? These fumes are probably bothering you."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQtf7aY86W
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jNbOpZ7YL
The only thing I was sure was different about me now was how calm I was, or rather how calm I was forced to be. After all that forced tightening and tensing that headache put my through, this was like taking some kind of magic muscle relaxer, yet I wasn't too relaxed either. "I'm fine. Don't stop now." The smell of the nail polish wasn't so bad. I don't know if it's normal to like the smell of the substance, but I wanted to turn it into a candle for my personal room, having it surround me in essence, always.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6kdgxdFZT
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAQMRbBgkW
"So I never did get to ask you this..." Mikaela wasn't as quick to speak since much of her was in the zone of applying nail polish perfectly, but I could tell she just wanted to make small talk during her decoration. "Why exactly did you decide to dress up today? Can't be from just a dare."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiop7aZdyxg
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo8ix7olDT
I wasn't too sure of the answer myself. Even long after the purge, this desire to be totally feminine still lingered on. Was it natural to feel this way? Or, is the effect of having my personally synchronize to Lumina so long ago still keeping alive my desire to act out so girlishly? With the exception of this obvious moment, I don't think I've been feeling the desire as often as I used to, so it's hard to be sure. "I don't know..." Mikaela went silent, almost like she was annoyed at my halfhearted response. "Maybe it's because, everybody else around me finds it too funny. At the risk of sounding weird, I want to make this moment at Wahsega memorable for everybody involved, not just for myself. Even though it might look like people will make fun of me for wearing this, I'm having a lot of fun, dress or no dress. So, anyone can point and laugh all they want; I don't care."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVUDcAUvON
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ctT0EMSH1
"So then, you're saying you're having fun playing dress up?"120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3J9ALtAQS
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDSeU0HUld
"I don't know. I'd rather show up to the dance with a secret weapon than without. Let's just say, this isn't the only part that's making me enjoy this place so much; it's only a piece of me."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMnm0qtPG8
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJOjumYbTx
"So it's not for a dare? Interesting."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAidMpGovv1
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ6fLsECEC
"Is it interesting?"120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRzwPiKx3T
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3FWW90HLE
Mikaela nodded slightly, showing off her slight smile. "I guess I expected something different, when Zero told me before about this guy-friend she knew that agreed to have all these girly things done to him. I wasn't sure if you were going to be a snowflake or just crazy. But, you're actually more normal than I thought, kind of mature too."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgi6zNxWJg
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R5z6ud3ad
Really? I know plenty of people who would say the opposite. Lumina got onto me yesterday for being the opposite of mature, by her words anyway. Even I know I'm not close to normal. I'm not insane, crazy, or a delicate flower, but I'm certainly not normal. Where is she getting this from? What was she expecting me to be like earlier? "If you say so. I take long walks at night, admiring the stars, falling in love with the cold winter, plus I'm into all kinds of instrumental and classical music. What eight grade students do you know going around doing that?"120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2yCLc9lXC
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbykZsULrEc
"You like to take night walks too? Classical music is awesome! You don't have to put it down like that!"120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubup0biikP
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YqMqvbASZ
There it was, my third surprise of the day. I've not known Mikaela for very long, but I wasn't expecting her to be this way, nor anybody for that matter. I didn't know she likes to walk around at night. I do it because I've turned into a night-person, thanks to the attribution of the air getting colder without the sunlight. My association with Lumina and the cold is also similar cause for a nightlife I've been developing, for much of the same purpose. It's allowed me to appreciate the other side of nature, the side that's gentle, the side that's forgiving, the side that's nice and quiet, without other people around to disturb me when I'm home wanting to unwind. "Sure, it's fun. But it's not what everybody else seems to be into."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk7IKqJltc
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2TZFFFqUU
"So what?" Mikaela's words took my full attention, while she paused in our locked gaze to tell me something I would never forget. "Have you ever considered that it's not you who's strange or weird, but rather everybody else? Nobody has a trademark on what normal really is, and it's not wrong to be a little different sometimes either."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOhzavTZdj
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwzuaoGA6c
What an amazing revelation! What if I'm not the strange one, but instead, everyone else? No, her words were deeper than that. I don't why, but I know there's a lot more inside the person in front of me. We can't always be ourselves, but I get the feeling that - when Mikaela is going about her business, she does whatever she wants regardless of how it affects the image people see when they see her. I don't know why it sang to me so much, but hearing Mikaela say this lifted all hidden concern and worry I thought I had destroyed long ago. Somehow, I forgot the most important part of being myself. Being normal or fitting in isn't what matters. Doing what makes me happy, no matter the reactions from others, that's what I should value most. Even knowing that now, I can't open my mouth to tell her the truth about Lumina; I'm so scared to try, the thought causes my jaw to shake. It can't be now, but maybe some time later on, I'll find that courage to try again. One day, somebody I want to befriend can hear all I have to say, calmly and openly, if ever I could get out the words properly. Lumina is real, of that I'm certain! How I want to tell somebody so badly!120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ozl1NRBmZ
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9LfQcwETq
"There! I'm all done. The rest is up to you." Mikaela let go of my left hand, allowing me to examine her amazing artwork.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE87Ewz3pA
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCmHiFWh19
There was something quite exciting about having nail polish cover my normal nail stubs. It somehow screamed in all directions that I was choosing to be girly, and proudly too. I let a shameless smile carve itself on my face, congratulating Mikaela for her good work. "It looks amazing! Now, I can have all the fun I need tonight. Thanks Mikaela."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClPy7P4SM0
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6JkqcvkTL
"Yeah, I'm still going to need to get used to that." Mikaela was trying her best not to laugh, but we could see the rippling resistance of her self-control waning. In the end, her resistance failed her, but she only laughed at the situation a little.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6vxaWdYcC
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNA57jnfIn
I didn't mind, nor would I ever hold it against her. Now that I had one ingredient done, the rest really was up to me. Banarus didn't have time to fix my hair in the commotion earlier today, so she instead let me hold onto her two hairbands, entrusting me to make use of them.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNXuefjz7U
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad4iWgmFP6
As I started walking back to my cabin, hiding my nails from sight only to save them for the big reveal later, I considered using those hairbands to style some pigtails, while the other three ingredients waited, hidden inside my belongings at the cabin. Others around me were already heading for the dance cathedral, but there was still time before the main event would start.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcpRICOL3z
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmSyjmDe3f
I considered myself lucky and happy. With my headache gone and my energy slowly returning in sparks, I knew I would be able to call Lumina back so that she could attend the best part of the party as well. Tonight, nothing will stop me!

Chapter Theme Music: The Way I Are ~ Timberland ft. Keri Hilson, D.O.E., Sebastian120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gnqr7p2mj
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrekfAST2b
My transition was as smooth as the hot music and beats stuck in my head. I was practically bobbing my hips left and right as I started applying all the new equipment I needed in order to change my appearance strongly. While I kept cosmetic makeup away from my face still, I did change my hair to give myself girlish pigtails, my excitement building exponentially the closer I got to being done. My eye lashes were naturally long enough not to need mascara, so this was an additional factor I could skip without consequence.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTri9GIeZs
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nOLndhzK0
Then came the outfit. At the risk of premature humiliation, I waited until I was the only guy in the cabin, my heart pounding at the thought of some other student or teacher walking in on me changing entirely. The crazy idea only sank in during my actions, as I went far enough to bring a pair of female underwear as well. After I slipped everything off, I started from zero, putting on tight pink panties that fit just well enough not to hurt. My arms were nearly trebling as I glanced down at myself from the neck down, observing myself as I was wearing such risky panties out in the open.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPYEuhbhSu
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG91yNT4fCs
In a new haste, I slipped on Zero's dress before anyone could catch what I was up to. I'd rather others know I was wearing only the dress than for the guys to know what I had on underneath. At the same time, this incredible embarrassment only fueled my excitement further. Getting the dress on wasn't too difficult for me, but getting the zipper in the back to go up took longer than I wanted it to.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw00CmPsd4H
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwVeg7v381
Then finally, I added the last finishing touch, the high heels I brought from home. Even though it was my first time in heels, I made many quick assumptions as I tried to slip them on with socks and adjust to a new stance. I was essentially finished changing the entire outfit, but there was immediately the new challenge of being able to stand, let alone walk in these heels. The long stilts on the rear bottom of each shoe was skinny enough to mess up my natural balance and stance, yet my desperation to get it right for the dance was overpowering against all doubt.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIyye7e7Qf
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipi6GvLTXB
I put myself into the trial by fire, trying to walk to the cabin exit, no longer concerned if any student sees me wearing this, as it would now be expected for people to be in their Halloween costumes for the upcoming dance. I tripped over myself twice so quickly, but once I reached the door, a striking revelation hit me regarding the balancing act of high heels.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GkvCVJ0wu
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgWmFcBk6y
I get it now! All of the weight distributes forward, so all I have to do is shift my balance closer to my toes and away from my heels. As I tested my own theory, I was thrilled and surprised to find myself tripping and wobbling much less than before. Putting all my body weight on my toes instead of my heels or flats wasn't as comfortable, but I figured it was a necessary sacrifice to put up with the fun I'll get out of it.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Hp52WyHQ
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNFbFV2zA9
Once I was outside, gradually freezing from the chilling cold air hitting my bear arms and lower legs, I still took a few practice steps since the ground would be uneven from the different terrain, but I didn't struggle too hard. At the same time, a small number of the boys walking around got a load of my self-inflicted spectacle, pointing, laughing, and congratulating me for such an amazing effort. Some of them started hooting at me as a joke, as they knew who I was by face even at this distance.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf2LK2Ers6
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKFotyihCB
Instead of being too embarrassed, I put into perspective the simulated reactions I considered as soon as I show up in front of the other acquaintances I knew. With that in mind, I slowly started walking towards the building reserved for the dance, spectating for a safe location that would give me some amount of privacy.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JS9SpKqqw
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsuQkvE0JX
With that spot located in seconds, I hid myself behind a tree, planted my feet sturdy in the ground, and closed my eyes in concentration. Enough of my energy had been restored from before to make the effort in contacting Lumina once more. When I did, she and I quickly caught up with what happened after my headache, since she wasn't there for those few hours. Afterwards, I resumed where I was to leave off, by examining myself with my own eyes, which Lumina was also using to see in my world.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dE5P1RVrL
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoDgH2WwQt
"Wow! You actually did it! Oh my god Reed!" Lumina tried not to laugh, but I could hear the giddy excitement in her voice, her reaction making me feel the same and more.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKRAYhXjJa
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq78lSrPQIX
It was a little more nerve-wracking having Lumina check me out up and down this way, especially since my high heels and cute sparkling blue nails were in full view during this moment. I was doing this mostly because it was making everyone around me happy with laughter, but I wasn't sure until now if Lumina would feel the same. Now that she does, I know this is no mistake. "I can't believe how much I look like a girl in all of this." I softly spoke out loud, in disbelief myself. Lumina couldn't see it now since I had no mirror, but I spotted myself in a reflection in the cabin after getting changed. As a guy, I was barely above average looking. But as a feminine doll, I could really pass as a cute girl; that's the crazy aspect to this.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOjdpeeTiT
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNaH9xozQv
Still stifling her own laughter with strong effort, Lumina was starting to shake a little more. "I never in a million years expected to see my fiancé this way. I had no idea you were a cross-dressing master."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFKQVrlo69
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWtXnWOgpC
"I wonder how many poses I'll have to strike tonight. You think one hand on my hip is good enough, or should I have brought a purse too?"120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnAgEsdUid
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm25pqdBgYT
Finally, her resistance broke down. Lumina started laughing at me in much the same way the others were earlier, only she was having the most fun in making fun of me. I couldn't believe how hard she was laughing; Lumina was unable to recover for more than several seconds. "I'm so sorry! Seeing you in that is just too much!"120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNbgKGsagp
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh1bEsONnp
I didn't announce it to her, but I felt so much better now than I did before. I was used to Lumina humiliating me, but seeing her this happy only filled me more with excitement than I ever could have imagined on my own. I knew everyone was laughing at me, but the tradeoff of their brightened moods, especially Lumina's was well worth it. "The dress fits nicely. But I am having difficulty in these heels."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhl5Y48623

"I can't wait to see their faces, Banarus, Zero, and the others." I wonder if I can fool some of the others into thinking I'm actually a female, for those who don't know my face anyway.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSj4XeNqmA

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvqaFyMH8W
I figured Lumina would already know the truth behind this by now, but I refreshed her on the details once more. "I'm really not doing this for the dare. I'm doing it because it's fun. I don't know why, but I feel pretty good when I get those reactions from others."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpyjKvlnEw

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b6s5g23zJ
Notice how she didn't say no? "I can't believe I'm going to the dance like this!" I examined myself once more, astonished at what I was putting myself through. I never thought I was brave enough to try anything on this scale, but somehow, here I am, about to show off something no guy would ever dare to in front of hundreds of other students.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZSyiWfecn

I finally started resuming my strut to the location in the center field, adding some hip-swaying action just for the fun of it. As soon as I started to move, Lumina cut herself off for a brief pause.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SVi8yruzg

"Never mind."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qECOqvN0Y
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf3FNWYfy6
Yeah, now I know what she was about to say. It's useless; nothing can stop me from what I was doing now, and nobody could talk me out of this. "I wonder if trying to look all cute and girly is really this easy."120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEMZTdg1a9

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99QWT9uksi
I wanted to keep talking to Lumina, back and forth as it made me less nervous, but before I got the chance, one of the guys I didn't know on my side of the field winced in his reaction to seeing me, jaw dropped and all. "What, the, fu—"120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz0tLJmkBN

I was only surrounded by three people at most, in close proximity at least. It was more than close enough to see my face and determine that I wasn't actually a lady, but it was clear already why they were making a fuss. I just kept my gaze forward, walking a little faster while trying to hide my blushing face with silence.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzWpIHiN2x

"If they do, then I'm going home. I won't be part of a party if it's going to be that lame. They said we all had to wear appropriate clothing or costumes. I may be in a dress, but I made sure nothing revealing was showing, so they can't cite me with one of their dumb rules." I felt fairly agitated though, as the thought was now on my mind. I still have to get past Ms. Dang and Ms. Quaker guarding the entrance.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnHRkU4CdU

As I got much closer, some of Zero's friends ambushed me, recognizing this outfit from a distance. I didn't get the same chance to surprise them like I wanted to, but their combined reactions to seeing me this way were still worth it to me; they were barely holding it in.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcmuY4CRAr

Ashly was in this small mob cluster too, correcting Mikaela's partial assumption. "He's only half of a guy now." She too was covering her mouth after speaking, eyes wide and shiny with excitement.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaXCMqNM53

"Yeah, well, I'm ready to get started." It was all I could think to say. Of all the things to feel embarrassed about, I actually felt so good about this situation. They didn't know it either, but seeing them have this much fun at my expense was making my day.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCyj0Mv8GH
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAfjpfNUV9
"You should make sure to talk to everyone first!" Ashly wanted me to rub it in, ensure not one single person misses out on my hilarious spectacle. I wasn't about to challenge her on that idea either, but Banarus inquired about one more detail she wasn't updated on.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu82cNt49HV
