Genderations The New World Order Chapter 10

The week of Thanksgiving; we had Wednesday off from school through the weekend. Molly invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. Kurt joined us for dinner. He was dressed in a nice cable-knit sweater, khaki pants, and black shoes.

You could tell Molly was crazy about him. Kurt was very charming. He helped Molly in the kitchen and poured our drinks. I could see Lexi liked him too. Dinner was a lot of fun. Everyone ate too much. We all stayed the night at Molly's house. Kurt took Molly and Kelly to a Jazz club. Vanessa stayed with us.

Vanessa had final exams coming up and decided to study. The three of us went upstairs and started getting ready for bed early. We put on our nighties. We were watching a movie when Aunt V checked on us.

You girls look comfy! How about you girls come downstairs and I'll make some hot chocolate and we the movie together?

Okay! We said.

We watched the movie "Hairspray" with John Travolta playing the role of the mother. It was a funny musical movie. We sipped hot chocolate and ate popcorn. After the movie was over we went to bed. Molly still hadn't come home yet.

I got up in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom again and Lexi followed me. We started kissing again. Lexi and I couldn't stop kissing each other. Just as we opened the bathroom door, Zandra was standing there.

Did I miss something? She asked quietly.

Come back to bed and I'll show you! Lexi said softly. We didn't get back to sleep until after 5 am.

Aunt V was making breakfast and coffee when we walked downstairs. We were finishing breakfast when Molly walked in.

How was the jazz club? Vanessa asked.

It was great! I haven't been out in forever! We danced half the night! Did you know Kurt can play the piano? He's really good too!

Did you girls have a good time? Molly asked.

We made hot chocolate and ate the last of your popcorn! Vanessa said. It was a nice, relaxing evening for a change! Vanessa said.

No problems? Molly asked.

No, the girls were great! Vanessa said.

Is anyone up for Black Friday sales? Molly asked.

Great idea! Girls you up for some shopping? Vanessa asked.

Sure! We said.

All of us were wearing skinny jeans and sneakers. We kept our makeup light and wore our B-cup falsies. I noticed my breasts looked a little bigger than my friends in my tight-knit sweater. I loved the way my body looked. My ass and hips had a little curve to them.

Molly called Kelly, and an hour later, we were heading to the Mall. The Mall was packed with shoppers. We had to park in the overflow lot across from the main mall road. The department stores were wall-to-wall with people. We decided to break up and meet up at the coffee shop in the center of the mall at 2 pm. This gave us 2 hours to shop. The parents went their way and we went ours.

The girls and I went into Spencer's. They had lots of body jewelry and trendy and goth clothes. We each bought some new earrings, naval jewelry, and a couple of trinkets. The three of us went from store to store looking for gifts for our mothers! I smiled thinking about Vanessa as my mother. It was a bittersweet thought because I still missed my parents. I dabbed my tears and tried to enjoy myself with my friends.

I found a nice two-piece laptop/purse and backpack combination for Vanessa. It was black leather with silver chains and hoops. It had a matching wallet with it. The stores were mostly restocked with winter fashions. I bought another pair of knee-high boots with a wide heel for school. I also bought tight ski pants in black, pink, and purple. The store had a sale on winter leggings, and each of us bought several. Wearing chastity in winter can become very uncomfortable when it's cold outside.

We went to the bathroom and freshened up before meeting our parents. We noticed a lot of boys dressed similarly to us. Many adopted the androgynous look. A few of them dressed in steampunk and Gothic fashion. They actually were very attractive. A few boys were still wearing wigs. They were not very happy.

We went to unisex bathrooms at the mall. The bathrooms were designated female/unisex and male. Anyone dressed in a feminine appearance was not allowed to use the male bathroom. The advantage is the female/unisex bathrooms were very large and there was very little waiting. The men's room has a line out of the door.

Lexi helped a boy with his makeup and wig. We could tell he wasn't adjusting well at all. Lexi took off his wig and combed it out. Zandra and I helped him adjust his bra and blouse. He was about 18 years old I guessed. His name was Les. Les or Leslie was miserable. We talked to him for a few minutes and showed him how to improve his look.

How are you boys so well adjusted? Les asked.

Because we like being girls! I answered. We are all in transition. Our parents signed the papers and we even changed our names. I'm Lexi! This is Zandra and Veronica.

Thank you for helping me! Leslie said.

Our pleasure! I said sweetly.

How are you all so happy? Leslie asked.

Because we embraced the changes. We decided if we had to dress in feminine fashions we were going all the way. We love being pretty. We love using makeup and getting to wear pretty clothes and jewelry. Our parents let us get body and ear piercings. It's a lot of work but it's fun!

Look at yourself, Leslie! You are pretty too! Lexi said, turning Leslie to the mirror.

I am pretty! Leslie said in stunned surprise.

You're a cutie! I said.

Leslie was admiring herself in the mirror.

Here is my mom's business card, she is the department head for the cosmetology school at the community college. Make an appointment and ask for Cheryl. Lexi said. Oh! Leslie! You might want to consider getting your ears pierced. Lexi said. Maybe your left nostril too. Lots of girls have them nowadays. Lexi added.

Cheryl is a miracle worker! I said. Besides your hair is almost long enough to ditch that wig!

Thank you! Leslie said.

We each gave her a girl hug and said goodbye.
We continued to wander through the stores. It was fun just hanging out with my friends. There was a group of boys that started following us. By the way, they were dressed and the way they acted, we could tell they were college-age.

Lexi noticed them first. I caught them moments later. We went into the Target anchor store and went to the girl's section. The boys followed us.

The boys looked like the typical bad boys: heavy boots, old, worn-out jeans, and hoodies. They looked like they had not showered in days. Uncombed and uncut hair. They had a combination of whiskers and peach fuzz on their faces. They were scary-looking.

Zandra! Lexi said quietly. Don't look, but we are being followed.

What! Zandra responded trying to stay quiet.

See those four boys! The ones standing next to the jewelry case. They have been following us since we left Sephora. Lexi said.

OMG! Zandra said.

It's okay! I said we just need to buy some time and get to the coffee shop.

That's on the other side of the Mall! Zandra said.

We should hide in the bathroom, Zandra said as she started to freak out.

No, we'd be cornered! Lexi said.

Agreed! I said.

So what are we going to do? Zandra asked.

I have an Idea! Just relax and trust me! I said.

We went through the store, pretending we were shopping. We walked by a stocking cart. I palmed a shoplifting tag from the cart. I clicked it together. We had to walk past them in the aisle. This was scary, I had to get close enough to one of them and put the tag in his pocket.

I saw this trick in a movie once a few years ago. I never dreamed I'd be using it. As luck would have it they approached us as we started to walk by. The tallest one stepped in front of me. I pretended not to notice and ran into him at full walking speed. I stuffed the tag in his hoodie's front pocket and fell backward.

He was very strong and caught me. He had a very firm grip on my arms. It wasn't painful, but I couldn't free myself either.

Careful cutie! You might hurt yourself! He said.

I'm sorry! I said. Thanks for catching me!

Maybe we should escort you girls! We wouldn't want you girls to get hurt! He said. He still had a grip on me.

Thanks again we have to go now! I said.

What's the rush? He said, his friends had us surrounded.

We're meeting our parents! Lexi said.

Please let go of me! I said softly.

Fortunately, the store was crowded. Zandra was quiet the whole time. Her head was looking everywhere, trying to catch someone's attention. I noticed Zandra was shaking her head looking up. Zandra was looking at the black security bubble in the ceiling, hoping to get the store security guards' attention.

Let go of me! I screamed!

He let go and we started running through the crowd.

The boys ran after us! We made it out of the store. We ran full speed through the mail. As we got out of the store the alarms started going off! I saw several security guards stop the boys as we escaped.

We got halfway to the coffee shop and stopped at the bathroom to freshen up.

That was close, Lexi said.

Why did the store alarm go off? Zandra asked.

Because I put a shoplifting tag in his hoodie! I said.

You did what? Zandra exclaimed.

Clever! Very Clever, Lexi said, being the level-headed one of the three of us. That's quick thinking Ronnie! Think that up on your own? Lexi asked.

No, I saw it in a movie once! I said. I had to do something! It's not we are trained fighters like Tory and Sam in Cobra Kai! I added.

We freshened up and met our parents at the Starbucks coffee island in the middle of the mall. The boys we ditched in Target spotted us and started walking towards us. We saw them and froze up.

Pretty clever cutie! That was a big mistake! The tall one said.

What was a mistake? A deep voice said behind the boys. It was Kurt!

We all smiled as he approached our table.

This one put a shoplifting tag in my hoodie! The tall one pointed at me.

Really! Kurt smiled at me. And why would she do that, I wonder? Better question: how did you let her get so close to doing that to you? Kurt asked.

I, uh, uh, we, uh, uh... The tall one was stammering. Kurt was enormous compared to the four boys. Being African American and covered in tattoos and muscle gave these boys a lot of pause.

Tell me, young man, did my girls kick you or assault any of you?

No sir!

Good! You can go now! By the way, the barber shop on the second floor isn't busy, go get a haircut and a shave! You boys look like shit! Kurt said.

Yes, sir, thank you, sir.

You girls alright! Kurt asked warmly.

We're fine! Lexi said, Thanks to Ronnie.

She was so Cool! Zandra said.

What happened, exactly? Vanessa asked.

We left Sephora, and those boys started following us; Lexi noticed them first. We tried losing them in a couple of stores, but they kept following us. We went into Target, and I palmed a shoplifting tag and put it together. When we tried to walk past them I bumped into the tall one and stuffed it in his front hoodie pocket. He wouldn't let me go. I screamed and he let go. We ran out of the store. They chased us out and the store alarm went off. The security guards stopped them just long enough for us to get away.

Shoplifting tag! That's quick thinking, Veronica! Kurt said smiling! Where did you come up with that idea? Kurt asked.

I saw it in a movie a while ago. I said.

Thanks for sticking up for us! Lexi said.

No problem! I hate bullies! Kurt said smiling.
Molly was all smiles looking at Kurt. Kurt winked at her.

Kurt escorted us to our cars, we dropped off our bags and went back to do some more shopping. Kurt escorted Lexi, Zandra, and me. We were on the second floor. We walked by the barbershop and the mean boys were all waiting to get haircuts.

Kurt caught their attention. They looked at him wide-eyed. Kurt gave them a thumbs up. They just nodded at him.

We left the mall and headed home. Kelly invited Lexi and I to spend the weekend with her. It was a fun weekend. Sunday afternoon Vanessa picked me up. We cleaned the house together before her friends came over to study.

Thursday, the week after Thanksgiving, we had another foster care inspection. As always she left pleased. Things were going smoothly for Vanessa and me. Vanessa was still working on the weekend. I would spend my weekend with Lexi or Zandra.

Zandra spent a couple nights with Tanya on the weekends between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Zandra was always blushing when Lexi and I asked how her weekend was when she spent the night with Tanya.

As Christmas approached, the three of us were constantly bugging our parents about what we were doing for Christmas. Between Molly, Kelly, and Vanessa, they were always very tight-lipped and dodgy.

Vanessa and I didn't put up any decorations. We decided not to put up the Christmas tree. We were both busy with school and keeping up the house. We had a good rapport with Family Services, and we wanted to keep it that way. My six-month review was excellent.

The week before Christmas break the six of us went shopping. We bought some new luggage and went to the spa in the mall for a spa day. It was great being pampered. Wednesday night before school let out for Christmas break we had dinner at Kelly's house. She had nice honey-baked ham. Kurt was there with Molly and Lexi.

Kelly stood up just be we started dinner.

Girls! We have a surprise for you! We aren't going to be having Christmas at home this year. We won't be doing any big gifts either. Instead, the four of us decided we'd all go to Disney World together. We are staying 7 nights. We have passes to all the parks. This is our Christmas present to you girls!

We were cheering with joy.

Is Kurt coming? Lexi asked.

Yes, Kurt is coming with us.

The three of us just hugged him.

You girls need to pack for warmer weather and make sure you have comfortable shoes. We are going to be doing a lot of walking!

The seven of us laughed and giggled throughout dinner. Lexi and I had never been to Disney World before. Zandra was there once when she was 7 years old. My parents took me to Great Wolf Lodge and Cedar Point a couple of times, but Disney World, this was going to be great!

A van picked us up at Kelly's house at 3 am Saturday and took us to the airport. We had a bit of a hassle getting through the metal detectors at the airport, but it wasn't too bad. We all felt safe with Kurt being with us.

We stayed at the Key West resort. We had a 3 bedroom, two-bathroom condo. We had lunch and dinner reservations at every park we visited. We had a great time. We opened presents on Christmas morning. But they were small gifts.

Vanessa loved the backpack-purse combo I got her. We girls got mostly earrings and costume jewelry. Kurt got each of us matching naval jewelry. They were gold-colored cubic Zirconia dangles with three stones going from big to little on a chain. We loved them. Our parents bought us matching pink sweater dresses with matching black belts.

It was a great trip. It was a nice break from the cold weather in Michigan. We got home just before New Year's Eve. Tanya invited us to the Roller rink for the teen New Year's Eve dance. We slept at Tanya's house that night. Lexi and I slept in a room separate from Tanya and Zandra. All four of us were blushing at each other in the morning.

The Friday before school started Molly took us to work. The cosmetology school was open for appointments only. Cheryl and Anne were working. We saw Leslie waiting for the school to open.

Hi Leslie! We said warmly.

Hi... Lexi! Right? Leslie asked.

Yes! You remembered!

I won't forget how helpful you girls were! Hi Veronica, Hi Zandra.

Come on, girls, let's get set up! Molly said.

The 3 of us watched Leslie's face when Cheryl walked up to the counter to greet Leslie. The expression on Leslie's face was priceless! Leslie's face was beyond dumbfounded!

You must be Leslie! Welcome! I'm Cheryl! I'll be your stylist and beauty consultant today. How old are you?

Uh, uh, nine, t, teen. Leslie said, studdering.

Perfect! Come with me, darling! Let's find the woman within you together! Cheryl said. Cheryl extended her beautiful fingernailed hand. Leslie took her hand and they disappeared into the back of the salon together.

The three of us had a blast! Molly gave us all ringlets and colored our hair again. I got my shadow Blonde. Lexi got hers colored golden brown shadowed with black. Zandra's hair was colored ash red shadow with black.

Molly taught us how to give each other facials and new techniques to paint our fingernails.

We didn't see Cheryl and Leslie for hours! We were at the spa chairs soaking our feet when we heard Cheryl and Anne come out from the back with Leslie. We still couldn't see Leslie. They sounded happy. Leslie was speaking with a slightly higher pitch voice than before. The three of us smiled at one another. They were giggling softly.

We were taken back to our chairs to remove our rollers. We saw Leslie smiling as Anne and Cheryl were working on her hair and nails. Leslie looked great! Cheryl gave her wedge Bob haircut like I started with. It was colored similar to ours, only dark Auburn red with black shadow. Leslie went all in! Permanent eyebrow and eyeliner. Her brows were arched higher than mine, it framed her eyes perfectly.

We didn't say anything to her at first. The three of us just watched with approving smiles. We made eye contact with Leslie, smiling and winking our approval. Leslie was glowing with happiness.

We all finished at about the same time.

Can you girls tell me where you got your piercings done? Leslie asked.

I'll do one better Leslie! I'll call my boyfriend Kurt! He owns the tattoo shop! He doesn't normally work Saturday but he'll do it for me! Molly offered.

Really! You don't have to do that! Leslie said.

Nonsense! It would be my pleasure. You want it done right! Kurt and his staff are very professional! They will take good care of you! Kurt might look intimidating! But he's a wonderful man. You can trust them.

I saw Leslie was holding a list of piercings to get.

Kurt!

Hi baby!

I have a client that needs a few piercings today. I know it's your day off, but could you help me out, please?

When? Kurt asked.

An hour? An hour and fifteen minutes tops!

Sure! Kurt said. I'll be there.

Thanks babe! Molly said affectionately.

Will you girls come with me? Leslie asked.

The three of us looked at Molly.

Go ahead, girls! I have to close up and I'll meet you there! You should make sure Leslie eats a good meal first! Molly said.

The four of us loaded up in the car and headed out.

I don't have much money, Leslie said.

No worries! I said I'm buying lunch! We stopped at Texas Roadhouse. We made her order a big steak. We had salads!
