Turquoise Beneath The Silver season 2
Progression
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt has been two weeks since Turquoise started helping Minato get his life on track. So far she has managed to get him to kick his addiction to marihuana which was perfect and has been teaching Minato how to be a proper gentleman. now was the final lesson.
“Now listen Minato, The last lesson is listening,” Turquoise said before going into more detail. “We girls can be very talkative about our days and like it when our boys pay attention.
“Got it,” Minato said.
“Do you?” She asked sensing he really didn't mean that. “Repeat what I just said.
“Our first lesson is something about listening or something,” He said which proved to Turquoise they had a long way to go. She decided to try going about this lesson from another angle.
“Let’s try this the opposite way, Are there any girls, in particular, you had your eye on?” She asked.
“Well there is one girl from my school I find attractive,” He said which meant they were now making more progress.
“What’s she like?” She asked as a way of doing some role reversal.
“She is into birds and fashion is a total valley girl, and is an aspiring fashion designer,” He said with Turquoise absorbing all of this information.
“I see, does this girl have a name?” She asked.
“Her name is Lily Lace,” he said with Turquoise ending the demonstration there.
“You see I just learned something about you by listening and engaging in the conversation,” She said before continuing. “Now it's your turn, feel free to ask me anything about myself.
“Ok, Tell me about this boyfriend of yours,” He asked.
“Dan is very smart and very kind, he even helped me in becoming the girl I am today,” She said.
“Help you become the girl you are now? Are you some kind of robot or something?” He asked which kind of offended Turquoise a little.
“Nothing like that, I meant he was constantly giving me the support I needed to become a real girl, You probably might not like to hear it and I really don’t like to say it but I used to be some weak and pathetic boy who was nothing but a target for the bigger and stronger ones,” she said blabbing on about all the ordeals she went through over the school year and before.
“Wait, are you telling me my father tried to hook me up with a dude in drag?” He asked in shock.
“I can assure you I'm a hundred perfect female but yes I used to be a male,” She said.
“Gross, get away from me you freak,” He said before running off. A minute later Mr. Kagami came by to check on the two of them only to see Turquoise all by herself.
“Where is Minato?” Mr. Kagami asked.
“I have good news and bad news regarding that,” She said before continuing. “The good news is Minato passed the first lesson, the bad news is I think he hates me now since I told him about my past as a way of testing him.
“What was the lesson?” Mr. Kagami asked.
“Listening to what girls say when talking,” She said.
“Your father told me everything which is why I wanted you specifically to help Minato, since you used to be a boy I figured you would understand him and know how to instruct him,” Mr. Kagami said.
“Well it looks like I can’t help him anymore since he most likely wants me to stay away from him,” she said.
“Listen why don’t you take the rest of the day off, I will have a talk with him and see if I can convince him to continue the lessons,” Mr. Kagami said before Turquoise agreed and left.
Fifteen minutes later Turquoise was now at Dan’s place watching him type away on his computer while talking with him.
“And he had the nerve to compare me to a robot,” Turquoise said.
“He is completely wrong. you are not a robot like Penny,” Dan said while typing more which caused the landmass on the screen hooked to the Nerosphere System to develop more.
“Penny Polendina?” she asked thinking the Penny he was talking about was from RWBY.
“Exactly. Robots like her can be massed produced while you are my precious one-of-a-kind gem that no one can copy,” he said before finishing up what he was doing.
“Either way I’m still stuck with Minato until he lands himself a girlfriend,” She said.
“You mentioned he had his eye on someone, Do you know her?” he asked while adding the final touches to the landmass he was developing.
“I’m afraid not because we don’t even go to the same school,” She said.
“Well let’s worry about that another time right now let me show you the completed country of Vixena,” He said before both of them dived into the game. Turquoise was surprised to see the town from last week further developed at least on the outside.
“Wow this looks much better than last time,” she said.
“Thanks, I just finished developing the layout for Vixena which makes the first continent about eighty percent complete,” He said.
“What’s left for you to do?” She asked.
“I still need to program the enemies, NPCs, weapons, and gear, not to mention clothes for when players decide not to engage in battle,” He said. “On that topic, I have a request for you. He asked Turquoise to use her drawing skills to create some outfits for his game. “So are you interested? Suddenly Turquoise’s eyes lit up.
“OF COURSE, I WOULD LOVE TO,” she shouted with excitement.
“Thank you, love,” He said.
“I been meaning to ask, besides us foxes what other animals are there?” She asked.
“Right now I have cat, wolf, and dragon as the other options for races,” He said. He also went on about how each of the eight beast continents was based on real-life countries and Vixena was based on Japan because of how they worshipped foxes in their lore. Suddenly Turquoise received a notification she was being touched and dived out to see who or what alerted her. As soon as she logged out she noticed her phone was ringing with her mom on the caller ID. She answered it after a second.
“Hello?” Turquoise said.
“Turquoise where are you?” Ruby asked.
“At Dan’s place,” Turquoise said.
“Well, time to come home because Mr.Kagami and his son are waiting for you,” Ruby said.
“Why are they waiting for me?” Turquoise asked.
“Come home and you will see,” Ruby said not wanting to spoil anything. Suddenly Dan woke up and asked what that was all about.
“My mom asked me to come home because Mr. Kagami and Minato are waiting for me there,” Turquoise said. They kissed goodbye and she was on her way out.
Sometime later Turquoise arrived home and as soon as she went inside she was surprised to see her parents and Minato’s all sitting together.
“Turquoise come here,” Bullet said. Turquoise did so and hoped whatever was going on was not a bad thing like when her grades were down. She sat down and waited for them to speak.
“We heard you shared your secret past with Minato,” Ruby said.
“Was I not supposed to do that?” Turquoise asked.
“Relax none of us are mad or disappointed, it was very brave of you to do so,” Ms. Kagami said.
“Listen Turquoise I'm sorry for how I reacted it was very ungentlemanly of me and Lily wants me to apologize to you before she agrees to date me,” Minato said.
“Apology accepted,” Turquoise said.
“Now that we have that settled we have something for you Turquoise,” Mr. Kagami said before giving her a box that looked like it had clothing in it. She opened it and pulled out an indigo kimono-like dress with a matching obi and light blue flower designs on it.
“It's called a yukata and it's our way of saying thank you for helping our son,” Ms. Kagami said.
“I love it, thank you,” Turquoise said before going to her room to try it on.
“I knew she would love it,” Ruby said.
“Your daughter is quite talented, I especially loved that idol dress she made,” Ms. Kagami said.
“That was a cosplay one of her friends had her make for them, I believed the character’s name was Miku something,” Ruby said trying to remember the full name.
“Miku Izayoi,” Minato finished.
“Yes that girl,” Ruby said.
“May I see it?” Minato asked.
“You're going to have to ask Turquoise since that display room belongs to her,” Ruby said before Minato asked where her room was. “It's up the stairs and the seventh door on the right but don’t go in there. Minato went upstairs and after knocking, Turquoise answered immediately coming out in her new yukata.
“Yes, Minato?” She asked.
“My mom mentioned your mom showed her your work. May I see it?” He asked.
“You really want to see my display room?” She asked.
“I like anime or more specifically Date A Live,” Minato said.
“Sure follow me,” She said before coming out and closing her door. She showed Minato to her display room and he was impressed by what he saw.
“You have Tohka and Natsumi too?” Minato said.
“Yep I made those for the last convention my friends and I went to,” Turquoise said.
“Which character were you?” he asked.
“Tohka,” She said.
“Really because I thought you would have been Miku,” He said.
“No my friend Autumn claimed her first and really pulled off being her, she even sang her own English cover of My Treasure and everything,” She said.
“Mind modeling it for me?” Minato asked.
“I can’t do that, Just like how I have a boyfriend you have a girlfriend now, and having pictures of me would ruin things for both of us,” she said to his disappointment. Before they could continue talking Ms. Kagami came in.
“Well Turquoise it was nice meeting you but we must be going now, hope our paths cross again in the near future,” Ms. Kagami said before she and Minato left.
The next day Turquoise and the girls were all chilling in her room just doing typical girl stuff.
“So Turquoise where did you get this yukata from?” Haruka asked.
“The Kagami's gave it to me as a reward for helping their son Minato get his life on track,” Turquoise said.
“Kagami as in the Kagami Corperation?” Haruka asked.
“Exactly, originally my father’s plan for this partnership was to offer me to be Minato’s girlfriend but luckily we are able to come to a compromise,” Turquoise said.
“Glad you did because nothing is worse than a girl who cheats on her man,” Serena said.
“Did Dan know about this secret arrangement your dad set up?” Haruka asked.
“I told him about it a couple of minutes after I was informed of it,” Turquoise said.
“Did you have any feelings for Minato?” Autumn asked.
“Heck no, to quote Fate/Extra, Why would I trade gold for mud,” Turquoise said.
“I’m assuming Dan is gold and Minato is mud?” Haruka asked.
“Exactly, Dan is everything I wanted in a man, and Minato used to be a weed addict before I helped him,” Turquoise said.
“Let’s change the subject,” Sylvia said.
“Ok, what do you girls want to talk about?” Turquoise asked.
“Let’s talk about Anime’s Next Top Idol,” Autunm said.
“What about it?” Serena asked.
“I been thinking what do you girls think about forming an idol group together?” Autumn asked.
“You mean for the competition?” Turquoise asked.
“No after that,” Autumn said.
“You know i’m in,” Turquoise said.
“So am I,” Serena said.
“Count me out, you all know I don’t like frilly lacy outfits, let alon dancing around in front of a crowd,” Haruka said.
“You don’t have to do it if you don,t want to,” Autumn said.
“Thank you for understanding,” Haruka said.
“What about you Sylvia?” Turquoise asked.
“Count me in since I don’t want to be left out of this adventure like I was the last one,” Sylvia said. The girls looked at haruka hoping she would change her mind and she suddenly caved in.
“Ok i’ll do it, just don’t expect me to be all happy and cutesy all the time,” Haruka said.
“Great, now we have a lot of work to do,” Autumn said.
