Turquoise, Autumn, and Serena were having lunch at a local fast food place in the mall called Cosmic Burger. They were currently discussing their plans for the summer since Sylvia was away in Quebec and Haruka was dragged to Hokkaido for her Aunt’s wedding.

“Thanks for inviting me girls, you have no idea how lonely I was,” Turquoise said.

“I’m guessing Sapphire and the others were busy too?” Autumn asked.

“Sapphire and her family including Pettilite are on vacation in Orlando for the summer, Sapphy even asked me about some hot spots to visit like Disney World,” Turquoise said before continuing. Amber and Moonstone are also out of town but they didn't mention where they were going.

“In any case ladies, I think we should do something special too since it's just the three of us,” Autumn said.

“What do you have in mind?” Serena asked.

“There is an amine convention coming up next week at the Beverly Hills Convention Center and I managed to get three passes,” Autumn said before showing them.

“I like that idea,” Turquoise said.

“Glad you're on board, Now I know this may sound like a selfish request but would you mind doing our cosplays for us? Serena and I are not that good at sewing like you are,” Autumn asked.

“Not a problem tell me what Characters to do and I will get on it,” Turquoise said. Autumn showed her a picture of Miku Izayoi from Date A Live while Serena showed her a picture of Natsumi in her adult form also from Date A Live. “I can do those no problem.

“Any idea who you are going to cosplay as?” Serena asked.

“Since you two are going with Date A Live I will be doing Tohka Yatogami,” Turquoise said.

“Awesome we will all match,” Autumn said. “So what will we need to begin?

“Well first we need materials and luckily my Mom and Dad are going away for the week so I have free reign over her sewing room.

“And your sure your mom won’t mind us borrowing her supplies?” Autumn asked.

“Positive,” Turquoise said. As soon as they finished their lunch the girls decided to go to Turquoise’s place to get started. Before they could leave a boy who looked to be around Pettilite’s age with blue eyes and short brown hair approached them.

“Excuse me but is one of you Turquoise?” The boy asked in a shy tone.

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

“I’m Chrono,” Chrono said while keeping his nerves in check.

“And why do you want to see me?” Turquoise asked as gently as she could since Chrono seemed to have social anxiety.

“I’ I loved your Boa Handcock cosplay back at Los Angelos,” Chrono said while shouting it out loud nervously.

“Aw thanks I worked hard on it,” Turquoise said.

“Let's just cut to the chase. what is it you want?” Autumn asked while trying to remain sensitive.

“I was wondering if you take commissions for cosplays?” Chrono asked.

“I never thought of doing it before since it's just a hobby to me,” Turquoise said.

“Listen Chrono I'm afraid you will need to find someone else to help you,” Serena said. Chrono was now desperate and pleaded with them.

“Please I'll do anything my sisters recommended you to me and they are too busy to help me,” Chrono pleaded. Turquoise could not refuse since she could tell Chrono was desperate.

“Very well what character are you going for?” Turquoise asked. Suddenly Chrono pulled out what looked like a picture of Yoshino from Date A Live.

“You do know that is a girl right?” Autumn asked.

“I do and she is my favorite spirit because she is a lot like me,” Chrono said.

“Let me see if I got this straight. You want us to make a girl out of you?” Serena asked.

“I’m sorry if I’m coming off too strongly, I’ll leave and never bother you girls again,” Chrono said before leaving only for Turquoise to stop him.

“Wait, we are not saying no to your request. we just want to be sure if this is what you want to do,” Turquoise said.
“If it's possible,” Chrono said.

“Very well,” Turquoise said. Before they could talk more two girls who were twins with long brown hair one styled in a braided tail and the other as twin tails approached them.

“There you are Chrono we've been looking for you everywhere,” The twin-tailed one said.

“Are you two the sisters Chrono was talking about?” Serena asked.

“We are,” The Braided one said. “I’m Fey,”

“And I’m Joy,” The Twin-tailed one said. “I’m guessing our little brother asked you to make him a Yoshino Cosplay.

“He did,” Turquoise said.

“Why didn't you ask us to do it?” Fey asked Chrono.

“Because after seeing what you did to your boyfriends I was afraid you would do the same to me,” Chrono said nervously.

“That was to teach them a hard lesson about respecting us ladies we know you would never act that crass and offensive towards anyone,” Joy said.

“Parden the interruption but are we still doing it or can we go now?” Autumn asked.

“How much do we owe you?” Joy asked.

“You don’t owe me anything I'm happy to do it, all I ask is that if you're entering a contest with it, please credit me for it since it will be one of my creations,” Turquoise said.

“Thank you,” Chrono said. The girls left the mall with Chrono and his Sisters behind them. As soon as turquoise reached her mansion she told the guard to let Chrono and his sisters in. As soon as they went inside Bullet and Ruby were in the Foyer with their luggage.

“Hi girls,” Bullet said.

“Are these three new friends of yours?” Ruby asked.

“More like clients. Their little brother wants me to make a Yoshino cosplay for him,” Turquoise said.

“Is this for one of those conventions you like so much?” Bullet asked.

“It is and then I have to work on our cosplays as well,” Turquoise said.

“Whoa slow down Turquoise. You are stretching yourself a little too thin,” Ruby said.

“I know but with you and dad going away for the week I’m the only one that can do it,” Turquoise said.

“Autumn, Serena, How good are you two at sewing?” Ruby asked hoping she could convince them to help out since she didn't want Turquoise to work herself to death.

“We have some knowledge but we are nowhere as good as Turquoise is,” Autumn said.

“It doesn't matter what your skill level is if you help her out then you can finish faster,” Ruby said before having the girls and Chrono follow her to the sewing room. As soon as they got there Turquoise began by taking Chrono’s measurements which were not that different from Pettilite’s. She then began gathering her materials for the dress which was simple to make. Twenty minutes later Turquoise finished the first part of Yoshino’s spirit dress which was a simple white dress with pink lace by the bust area. Next was the raincoat which took longer to make with the bunny ears and tail. Turquoise decided to have Chrono try it on to see how it fits. The dress and raincoat fit perfectly.

“Now what to do about the boots and Yoshinon?” Turquoise asked.

“I already have Yoshinon back home,” Chrono said.

“And as for the boots you can use these,” Fey said before pulling out a pair of ordinary green rain boots. After making the necessary changes Chrono’s cosplay was now complete.

“Thank you,” Chrono said.

“Your very welcome,” Turquoise said before moving on to her Tohka cosplay next.

“Do you intend to make Sandalphon too?” Autumn asked.

“That would be too much, especially since a sword that size violates the rules regarding props,” Turquoise said.

“Fair point,” Autumn said.

“Anyway pass me that pink chiffon,” Turquoise said to Autumn who did so. After cutting out the patterns for the dress she moved on to assembling it which took about ten minutes. Next was the rest of the outfit which took another five minutes to make.

“Hang on I need to get some things from our treehouse,” Autumn said before leaving. Turquoise used this time to look up what this convention had to do while working on Autunm’s Miku cosplay. As soon as she finished Autumn returned with three wigs that matched the hair colors of their characters closely.

“Where did you get these?” Turquoise asked.

“From my stash of wigs in the treehouse. I want to be a hairdresser so I practice a lot in my spare time,” Autumn said.

“In any case these are perfect,” Turquoise said while working on the adult Natsumi cosplay. As soon as she finished Turquoise put the three outfits on manikins for display.

“Wow these are amazing,” Serena said.

“What can I say I enjoy this kind of thing,” Turquoise said.

“In any case, it's getting late so we must be on our way,” Autumn said before she and Serena left. Turquoise also decided to call it a night since she worked pretty hard today.

The next day Turquoise got dressed and decided to head to her favorite comic shop to see if the new Mighty Mare comic came in yet. Sometime later she arrived in front of a store called Stadium of Heroes which was a corner comic shop in the downtown district of Canterlot City. She looked through the various rows of comics until she found the new one which had an illustration of a woman with blonde hair wearing amazonian armor that was colored in the colors of America and gold bracelets along with a lasso by her waist. As she was grabbing it another customer who was a boy around Turquoise’s age with yellow skin, ice-blue hair, and green eyes. Turquoise was shocked to see who it was.

“Xavier?” Turquoise said in shock seeing one of her childhood acquaintances in front of her.

“Silver? is that you?” Xavier asked in shock at how the boy he knew was now a girl.

“The name is Turquoise now but yes it's me,” Turquoise said.

“My god you spent so much time around girls you have now become one,” Xavier said while trying to contain his laughter.

“I don’t see what's so funny about it,” Turquoise said.

“Dude, or dudette I should say. you practically threw your man card away for good now. What happened to the boy who loved comics and anime that I knew?” Xavier asked.

“I’m still that same person,” Turquoise said only for Xavier to look angry.

“NO YOU’RE NOT! YOUR NOTHING BUT A SPOILED VALLEY GIRL! THE BOY I KNEW WAS COOLER THAN THAT!” Xavier said.

“It's still me I still like the same things I always liked,” Turquoise said trying to reason with him.

“Just shut up you bitch I don’t want to hear it,” Xavier said not realizing his shouting was disturbing the other customers.

“But Xavier,” Turquoise said feeling hurt.

“Leave me alone,” Xavier said before the worker at the cash register kicked him out for being too loud and mean to another customer. The worker could tell Turquoise was still feeling sad and tried to console her.

“Are you going to be all right miss?” The worker asked. Turquoise didn't reply and instead bought the comic she was after and then returned home. Sometime later Serena and Autumn arrived and were surprised to see Klaus instead of Turquoise.

“I’m sorry ladies but Lady Turquoise is in a shall we say depressed mood right now,” Klaus said.

“What happened?” Serena asked.

“I can’t say she never told me or anyone,” Klaus said.

“Leave it to us to find out,” Autumn said.

“Good luck ladies,” Klaus said before taking his leave. As soon as the girls arrived in front of Turquosie’s room they tried to open the door only to find out its locked.

“Go away,” Turquoise shouted.

“Come on Turq it's us your BFFs,” Serena said.

“I’m not in any mood to talk right now,” Turquoise shouted before a steel shutter was activated.

“Since when did she have that installed?” Autumn asked.

“That’s always been there,” A maid said. “It’s a part of master Bullet’s security system.

“And Turquoise is using it to shut us out,” Serena said while being metaphorical.

“Can you tell us what has her so distant and upset?” Autumn asked.

“I don’t know all the details but what I can tell you is this morning she went to the comic store to pick up the latest issue of Mighty Mare and when she got back she looked like a crying wreck covered in chocolate sauce and sprinkles,” The maid said.

“Hold on did she and Dan break up?” Serena asked.

“Of course not. our love is stronger than ever,” Dan said. “Why would you think that?

“Because when a boy breaks up with a girl she tends to drown herself in ice cream and lots of it,” Serena said.

“Anyway what are you doing here?” Autumn asked.

“I called him,” Klaus said. “I figured if anyone could penetrate the iron gate around Lady Turquoise’s heart it’s Master Danial. Klaus then initiated the override command for the security system thus withdrawing the metal shutter.

“Babe I'm coming in,” Dan said before using the master key Klaus loaned him to unlock the door and entered. She was shocked to see Turquoise’s mascara running and her clothes covered in chocolate sauce. “What has you so down like this? She pointed to the Mighty Mare comic along with an old photo of her when she was still Silver. What Dan noticed in the photo was another boy who looked like Xavier. “Who is this in the picture with you?

“His name is Xavier and he was my childhood friend until today that is,” Turquoise said while avoiding eye contact.

“What happened?” Dan asked.

“I ran into him at the comic shop and he was not happy to see what I have become,” Turquoise said.

“I was afraid this would happen,” Dan said before continuing. “Listen babe you know no one will love you more than I do and you have lots of friends who will stick by you no matter what. But there will always be people who don’t like the LGBT community and I can guess Xavier was not expecting his friend to be a girl.

“Yeah well he didn't have to be a complete jerk about it,” Turquoise said.

“Listen just give him some time he will probably learn to accept it,” Dan said as he was walking towards the door. “And I think you may need it too. Come on girls let's leave Turquoise alone for now.

“Are you sure that’s a wise idea?” Autumn asked.

“She needs time to process all her emotions. She will come out when she is ready until then all we can do is wait,” Dan said.

“How do you always know what to do?” Serena asked.

“I have three sisters back home and I have seen them go through some ordeals similar to what Turquoise is going through right now,” Dan said. After returning the master key to Klaus, Dan and the girls left with the hopes that Turquoise will bounce back from this ordeal of hers. “Hang in there my love.

after reading the review for season 1 I'm doing things differently for this season hoping to do better. I know this is a tragic way to end a chapter but I think this is what you all want to see.
