It has been three weeks since Silver and his mom moved to Canterlot City and a lot has happened within that time. Silver met his old friend along with making some new ones. He also began taking a path he was nervous to take for the longest time. Slowly he has been slipping into his new feminine identity as Turquoise and even though she is still on the fence about taking the plunge to become a real girl she is enjoying the ride so far.

7/4/21

Turquoise and the girls were celebrating independents day at Turquoise’s mansion with everyone’s families included. As for Dan he and his college friends were holding their own celebration in LA.

“ I must say Turquoise you come so far in only a few weeks,” Autumn said while lounging in the pool.

“ Thanks,” Turquoise said.

“ Have you decided to take Dan up on his offer yet?” Haruka asked hoping Turquoise thought this critical decision through.

“ I am thinking of doing it but only if my parents agreed to it since it will be them paying for it,” Turquoise said.

“ I always wanted a daughter so go for it,” Ruby said.

“ And what about dad?” Turquoise asked.

“ I will discuss it with him but I can’t guarantee he will be on board,” Ruby said.

“ All right everyone the burgers are done,” Bullet shouted while plating them. Everyone ate happily while talking with each other. Ruby decided to pull Bullet to the side to discuss the matter regarding Turquoise’s decision.

“ Absolutely not,” Bullet said.

“ Why not?” Ruby asked.

“ Because it’s ungodly and unnatural,” Bullet said.

“ Then why would you agree to let Silver dress like a girl but not become one?” Ruby asked.

“ Because he is still male under all of that make-up and feminine outfits but you’re asking me to let him write his ticket to hell,” Bullet said.

“ You don’t really believe in all this religious nonsense do you?” Ruby asked.

“ Of course not but I don’t want to have to deal with what she will be like while on this dangerous path,” Bullet said.

“ If your that worried then leave the explanations to me,” Ruby said.

“ Well I did notice silver looked a lot more alive than Silver ever was and actually made friends,” Bullet said.

“ So does that mean you will allow it?” Ruby asked.

“ Not yet I want Silver to first understand what he is getting himself into and what kind of potential danger he will face,” Bullet said.

“ So your saying you won’t agree to it unless Turquoise knows the risks of being a woman is that it?” Ruby asked.

“ That’s right,” Bullet said.

“ And just how are you going to do that?” Ruby asked while fearing what Bullet would do.

“ I’m going to have someone pretend to mug Turquoise and if she handles the threat I will allow her to proceed,” Bullet said.

“ Fine but promise me she won’t end up getting hurt,” Ruby said.

“ Relax the gun won’t even have any bullets in it,” Bullet said.

“ As long as it’s staged and no one gets hurt go ahead,” Ruby said.

“ And one last thing,” Bullet said. “ Do not tell Silver about this. With the discussion now over Ruby and Bullet returned to the others. As soon as the night sky came out the fireworks went off and everyone was enjoying them. As soon as the party was over everyone left and called it a night.

The next day Turquoise woke up and got dressed. She decided to head out to the mall by herself this time now that she has a California driver’s license and her own car. As she was walking towards the garage Ruby saw her.

“ Where are you off to Turquoise?” Ruby asked.

“ The Canterlot Mall, Autumn said there was someone who wanted to see me,” Turquoise said.

“ Ok have fun,” Ruby said before Turquoise left. As soon as Turquoise and her blue 2021 Chevrolet Corvette were out of sight ruby told Bullet where Turquoise was going.

“ Perfect the man I paid to scare Turquoise is currently there,” Bullet said.

Forty-five minutes later Turquoise arrived at the mall safely and went inside which was surprisingly not as crowded today considering it’s the middle of summer vacation. As Turquoise was walking she found the place Autumn was talking about which was a small clothing store called Carousel Boutique. As soon as she entered a girl with blue eyes and curled purple hair along with another girl with blue skin, blonde hair, and purple eyes.

“ You must be Turquoise,” The purple-haired girl said.

“ I am and who are you?” Turquoise asked.

“ Right Introductions, I’m Rarity, Autumn told us about you over the phone,” Rarity said.

“ Us,” Turquoise asked slightly confused.

“ Me, and my two friends here,” Rarity said referring to both the blonde girl and a younger girl with white skin and blonde hair who looked no older than twelve.

“ nice to meet you Turquoise, My name is Sapphire,” The blue-skinned Blonde girl said while curtsying.

“ And I’m her daughter Pettilite,” The younger blonde girl said.

“ Daughter?” Turquoise asked feeling more confused.

“ We will talk about that another time but for now let’s get down to business,” Rarity said. “ Have you ever heard of the Jewelry Box?

“ I’m guessing that is some sort of group?” Turquoise said.

“ It is,” Rarity said before continuing. “ The Jewelry Box is a group of boys who enjoy cross-dressing and we want you to join once school starts.

“ Are you sure you want me to?” Turquoise asked.

“ Come on you will fit in with the rest of us and I promise the boys don’t mind in fact they enjoy it,” Sapphire said.

“ And you promise they won’t try anything sexual with me?” Turquoise asked.

“ Not unless you want them to,” Sapphire said playfully.

“ Ok you convinced me I’m in,” Turquoise said.

“ Great now why don’t we have some fun,” Rarity said before taking Turquoise into the back room. She began by looking at her with a discerning eye before speaking again. “ Tell me, darling what made you go with a braided side tail for your hairstyle?

“ It’s the same one as Weiss Schnee from RWBY,” Turquoise said.

“ RWBY?” Rarity asked.

“ That web-based show with the hybrid weapons and stuff me and Pettilite watch,” A girl with green eyes and long pink and lavender hair said.

“ Sweetiebelle? Where did you come from?” Rarity asked.

“ I wanted to see how Pettilite was doing so I came over,” Sweetiebelle said. “ In any case who is the new girl?

“ This is Turquoise she will be joining Sapphire and Pettilite once school starts next month,” Rarity said.

“ Nice to meet you, “Sweetiebelle said.

“ Always nice to meet another fan of RWBY,” Turquoise said.

“ Anyway back to our discussion what particular style would you say you like?” Rarity asked.

“ Whatever kind rich girls would like I guess,” Turquoise said.

“ So in other words you would say your the princess type of girl?” Rarity asked.

“ If that is what you call it,” Turquoise said.

“ I think I have just the outfit,” Rarity said before going through the rack. A few moments later Rarity had Turquoise change into a knee-length strapless dress with blue and royal blue slanted stripes with matching heels. “ Perfect and it goes well with your earrings.

“ I love it how much do I owe you?” Turquoise asked.

“ It’s on me think of it as my way of saying welcome to the Jewelry Box darling,” Rarity said. Turquoise thanked Rarity and left to check out the rest of the mall. Just as she was looking around a man with big muscles wearing a green shirt with matching pants and a black ski mask stood in front of her before pulling a gun out on her.

“ All right brat hand over all your money and be my whore or else I’ll make you bleed worse than your period,” The man said before cocking his gun and grabbed her purse. Turquoise while at first looked scared until she remembered what she learned from that self-defense course her mom made her take.

“ That’s my purse,” Turquoise shouted while kicking the man in the testicles. After taking her purse back and running as fast as she could in heels the man walked to the nearest bathroom like he didn’t feel anything from Turquoise’s kick. As soon as he entered a stall he removed what looked like a steel cup that had a small dent in it before removing his ski mask and calling someone on his phone.

“ I did exactly as you told me Mr. Bullet,” The man said.

“ And how did it go?” Bullet asked.

“ Your daughter confronted me and attacked, And let me tell you she has one heck of a kick,” The man said.

“ Good to hear and thanks for volunteering Volt,” Bullet said.

“ Anytime,” Volt said before leaving and returning home.

Sometime later Turquoise returned home and told her parents about what happened today.

“ You actually stood up to someone stronger than you?” Bullet asked while acting surprised.

“ Sure did and hopefully we never cross paths again,” Turquoise said.

“ Now about your request for wanting to be a real girl,” Bullet saids before continuing. “ After careful consideration and hearing about how you defended yourself, I have decided to let you go through with it but first I must warn you once you begin there will be no turning back.

“ I’m well aware but why would I ever want to go back,” Turquoise said.

“ Very well,” Bullet said.

The next day Turquoise and Dan were having lunch at a sports bar restaurant called cardinals which was one of those restaurants where women with big boobs would work as waitresses at.

“ Why exactly would you pick here to eat?” Turquoise asked.

“ Because this place has the best wings in California and you haven’t lived unless you tried them,” Dan said.

“ No fooling?” Turquoise asked.

“ Just try them and you can be the judge of that,” Dan said before he and Turquoise got straight to the point.

“ The reason I wanted to have this date was that I have some great news,” Turquoise said.

“ What is it?” Dan asked.

“ After some convincing, my parents agreed to let me take the plunge into becoming a real woman,” Turquoise said.

“ That’s great news,” Dan said.

“ So when can your uncle see me?” Turquoise asked.

“ I told him about you but unfortunately his next opening won’t be for another three months,” Dan said.

“ No problem I can wait,” Turquoise said.

“ Are you sure?” Dan asked.

“ I have been keeping this side of me hidden for six years so waiting a few months to make it a reality won’t kill me,” Turquoise said before the waitress came with their order of wings.

“ Try one and see how you like it,” Dan said. Turquoise took a wing in both hands before biting into it. As soon as she did her taste buds were in heaven.

“ The crispiness of the breading was fried nicely but what is this spiciness I am tasting?” Turquoise asked.

“ That would be the special blend of cajun spice cardinals is known for,” Dan said.

“ I love it,” Turquoise said.

“ If you think the wings by themselves taste good try them with one of the three dipping sauces,” Dan said referring to the three sauces in front of them. Turquoise tried the honey mustard one first and it paired well with the spiciness of the wings. Next she tried the ranch one which while not as complementing did cool her mouth off. And finally, she tried the special sauce that cardinals was also known for. This sauce was orange in color and after dipping a wing into it and taking a bite her mouth was assaulted by waves of heat and spices like she never felt before.

“ That is extremely hot, What is this stuff called?” Turquoise asked before chugging her drink down to cool her throat.

“ That is Cardinal’s Phoenix Tripple X sauce,” Dan said before going into more detail. “ This stuff is so hot and so spicy that the owner once said on an episode of Restaurant Sleuths that he had to keep the bottles of it in a locked cabinet so the kitchen staff doesn’t prank the customers with it.

“ I can see why this stuff could be lethal to anyone who is not expecting it,” Turquoise said.

“ But enough about that what do you think?” Dan asked.

“ The spices and amount of heat make you feel like your taking a bite out of the sun itself,” Turquoise said.

“ So good or bad?” Dan asked.

“ It’s good but it’s way too much for my stomach to handle,” Turquoise said before excusing herself to run to the bathroom. Ten minutes later Turquoise came out looking slightly thinner than before.

“ I didn’t know you had a sensitive stomach,” Dan said with a face that was begging for forgiveness.

“ It’s ok you only wanted to give me the full experience, I should have told you from the start,” Turquoise said.

“ In any case will you be ok?” Dan asked.

“ Besides now having a perfect figure I’m going to be just fine as soon as the spicy taste in my mouth fades,” Turquoise said.

“ Good to hear,” Dan said. Dan decided to take turquoise home just in case her stomach acted up again. Despite being in the bathroom for ten minutes turquoise really enjoyed cardinal’s wings and was thinking of maybe working there as a waitress since her parents want her to find a part-time job soon. With today’s excitement now over she decided to call it a night.
