Awakening the Turquoise
Chapter 3: Love At First Sight
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSilver was relaxing at home after what happened this morning. Bullet knocked on the door before coming in to see how he was doing.
“ I heard about what happened and I tried to warn you,” Bullet said hoping this little negative experience will sway Silver to go back to being a boy.
“ Luckily I had both good friends and a fair principal,” Silver said knowing where this was going.
“ You were lucky this time next time you might not be so lucky,” Bullet said before Ruby came in to see how Silver was doing. Ruby knew what Bullet was trying to do.
“ Bullet don't you have a few of your employees to deal with?” Ruby said causing Bullet to leave. Ruby figured she should try to cheer Silver up.
“ Listen Silver I know what might have happened may be wrong but when you find that person you wish to spend the rest of your life with it could be a very pleasurable experience,” Ruby said with Silver slightly feeling better about it.
“ Your right Mom that was just one slight bump I still have a lot more to experience,” Silver said.
“ See Silver now I believe there are some girls here to say something to you,” Ruby said as the three girls that almost destroyed him came in with sorrowful expressions on their faces.
“ We're sorry for what we did,” Fleur said sorrowfully.
“ We meant nothing personal it's just your like a perfect ten and we as much as we hate to admit it are nothing compared to you,” Upper Crust said.
“ Don't say that I’m the one who should be jealous you three are the most popular girls at Crystal Prep I'm just the new kid from Cloudsdale,’ Silver said.
“ We won't be for long because once our suspension is over everyone will treat us like pirayas,” Suri said.
“ Yes that's true but if there is one thing to learn from this then its that respect must be earned not demanded try that and maybe everyone will at least talk to you again,” Silver said.
“It's worth a try,” Fleur said before thanking Silver while Suri and Upper Crust were still hesitant about taking advice from the boy that got them suspended.
“ Suri, Upper Crust we have two choices we either ignore Silver and continue to act like we always do or accept his advice and start over,” Fleur said demandingly.
Suri and Upper Crust hated to admit it but Silver was right even if it takes til graduation starting over is better than nothing. Suri and Upper Crust agreed to change their ways and so did Fleur. As soon as everyone made up Bullet came in with the fathers of Suri, Fleur, and Upper Crust.
“ Well, Silver did they apologize for everything?” Bullet asked.
“ They did and I think we came to an agreement,” Silver replied.
“ Good now as for you three don't ever hurt my pride and joy again no matter which gender he picks,” Bullet said hoping to make sure the message sticks.
Suri, Fleur, and Upper Crust got the message and Bullet allowed their fathers to keep their jobs before they left.
The next day Silver woke up and began his transformation into Turquoise before running downstairs. Bullet and Ruby noticed she was in a better mood from yesterday. Ruby told Turquoise to be careful this time.
As soon as the limo pulled up to Crystal Prep the boys all gathered to see Turquoise who looked better than ever. As soon as she entered the building she accidentally bumped into a boy with Light red skin, green eyes, and light blue spiky hair. The boy dropped one of his books which opened to a drawing of a wolf girl wearing Japanese style clothes with a katana by her side.
“ Sorry miss did not see you there,” the boy said apologetically.
“It's ok,” Turquoise said before getting a look at the sketchbook on the floor. Turquoise was amazed by all the detail that went into it.
“ Did you draw this it looks amazing,” Turquoise said while giving the boy his book back.
“ Yes I did very nice to meet you I’m Painted Ace but most people just call me Ace,” Ace said before getting lost in Turquoise’s eyes.
“ Nice to meet you Ace I’m Turquoise,” Turquoise said before getting lost in Ace’s eyes.
Turquoise felt something she never had before and did not know how to react. Ace was about to ask if she was ok until the warning bell rang. Both Ace and Turquoise ran for their classes and barely made it. As the day went on it was finally lunch time and Turquoise took her seat with Lemon and the others. Turquoise told them about bumping into Ace and tried to describe the strange feeling she had. Sunny knew what that feeling was.
“ Looks like our Turquoise just fell in love with her soulmate,” Sunny said making Turquoise blush while flustered.
“ I can,t be in love Can I?” Turquoise asked confused.
“ Relax its perfectly natural for a girl to fall in love with a boy,” Sunny said assuringly.
“ Even if that girl was also a boy?” Turquoise asked.
“ Well, you tell me what do your feeling for Ace say?” Sunny asked.
“ It felt like fate but I’m worried he will see through my secret,” Turquoise replied.
“ Think of it as a test if he accepts the person behind the princess, then he is the one if not then keep searching,” Sunny said.
Ace walked in and saw Turquoise sitting with her friends. Turquoise invited Ace to join her and her friends at their table. Ace went over and took his place next to Turquoise. Ace pulled out his sketchbook and some colored pencils and began to add the finishing touches to his latest drawing.
“ What do you call that one?” Turquoise asked.
“ I call it Blade of the Sea,” Ace said showing it to everyone. Sunny and Lemon noticed it looked a lot like Turquoise and Sunny noticed some of the jocks were coming this way.
“ Hey Ace who said you could sit with our princess she is obviously too good for someone like you,” The leader said.
“ She invited me if you must know Griff,” Ace said causing Griff to laugh.
“ A wimp like you please everyone knows girls prefer men who are big and strong not small and scraggly,” Griff said while flexing his muscles.
Turquoise did not like the sound of that and wanted to do something until Lemon told her a lady does not fight and Turquoise stood down. Griff grabbed Ace’s Sketchbook and held it out of his reach. Turquoise wanted to do something and then thought what would Rarity do and then it hit her.
“ Oh Griff please give Ace his book back for me,” Turquoise said seductively which made Griff bend to her will and give Ace his book back.
“You're lucky our Princess is so merciful, come on boys we have to get ready for gym class,” Griff said before he and his team left.
Ace thanked Turquoise for convincing Griff to give him back his Sketchbook and Sunny asked where did Turquoise learn to act like that. Turquoise said she asked herself what would Rarity do and the answer was using her feminine wiles to get what she wants. Lemon was impressed with how much Silver was learning about being a girl. Lemon asked Ace why his latest drawing looked like Turquoise and he told her meeting Turquoise inspired him. Turquoise was touched by Ace’s words. Turquoise gave Ace her number before everyone went back to class. As the day went on Turquoise kept thinking about rather she could confess her secret to Ace or not. The end of the day came and Turquoise received a text message from Ace.
“ Hi Turquoise meet me in the parking lot there is something I want to ask you,” the message said.
Turquoise went to the Parking Lot and there was Ace waiting for her.
“ Turquoise I know this may be something most of the boys here ask but would you like to go on a date with me?” Ace asked with as much feeling as he could.
“ I would love to but first I have a confession,” turquoise replied.
“ You are really a guy I know but I don’t care you're actually one of the coolest and most amazing girls I ever met,” Ace said.
“ Thank you, Ace your the type of guy I would love to date,” Turquoise said.
“ Great so pick you up at seven on Friday,” Ace asked.
“ Sounds good,” Turquoise replied.
With the date set Turquoise and Ace, both went home to tell their parents As soon as Turquoise entered the foyer Ruby had a surprise for her. Ruby Blindfolded her and guided her upstairs. Once they reached her room Ruby took the blindfold off. What Turquoise saw was her room painted pink with more feminine furniture replacing the stuff Silver had.
“ What do you think Turquoise do you love it?” Ruby asked.
“ I love it but what did you do with my stuff like the nerve gear prototype I was working on?” Turquoise asked.
“ Don't worry everything is in the room next to this one we needed to move everything to paint your walls, in fact, we were about to put everything back in when you came home,” Ruby said.
Like Ruby said the staff moved everything back in and in its proper place. Ruby showed Turquoise her new walk-in closet and how it was split between his boy and girl clothes depending on which gender Silver chooses. Turquoise loved all of it and hugged her mother.
“ Oh before I forget I met the most awesome guy today and he asked me out,” Turquoise said.
“ My little girl is growing up so when is your date?” Ruby asked.
7:00 on Friday,” Turquoise replied.
“ Perfect that gives us plenty of time to brush up on some lady-like etiquette and enough time for me to whip something up for the occasion,” Ruby said.
Ruby taught Turquoise how to eat properly along with a few other things she needed to know. After awhile Turquoise got the hang of it and Ruby asked about the boy Turquoise met. Turquoise told her about his amazing drawings and kindness.
“ Looks like you found someone who really gets you and you said he knew your gender but still wanted to do this?” Ruby asked.
“ Yep and I may have found a good reason to remain as Turquoise,” Turquoise replied.
Ruby was glad to see Silver happy but Bullet who was eavesdropping was not glad to hear about this part. Ruby noticed Bullet in the corner of her eye.
“ I know you're out there Bullet,” Ruby said in an irritated voice.
Bullet came in and was not happy with what Silver was doing.
“ Ruby just how far down the rabbit hole are you going to let Silver fall?” Bullet asked.
“ Bullet you know as well as I do that our son is a young adult so as his parents the best thing we can do is be supportive of his choices and I’m just trying to help him along the way,” Ruby said.
“ But who is going to run my company once I retire If I let women run it all the manliness will be gone,” Bullet asked worried about the future of his business.
“ Dad I know your not a fan of the feminine touch but even though I will add it I promise not to suck the manliness completely out of it,” Silver said.
“ What do you intend to do once I step down?” Bullet asked Silver.
“ Did you forget about my Nerve Gear once I perfect it I will use that as my product for the company,” Silver replied showing Bullet that there was still some trace of Silver left.
“ But this new boyfriend of yours how do you know he won't try to do what Suri and her friends tried to do to you?” Bullet asked.
“ You can judge him for yourself when you meet him on Friday,” Silver replied.
Hours later it was time for bed and Silver was joyed by the softness of his new sheets.
The next day At lunch Turquoise was talking about her date with Ace on Friday.
“ Looks like you found the one,” Sunny said.
“ How did your parents take the news?” Lemon asked.
“ Mom was on board with it but my dad needed convincing hopefully he approves of Ace on Friday,” Turquoise replied.
“ Speaking of boys here come a few right now,” Indigo said as a few of boys came up to Turquoise.
“ You must be Turquoise when Ace said he manages to snag a date with a grade A hottie we thought he was pulling our leg but now we believe him,” One of the boys said.
“ I am and who are you guys?” Turquoise asked.
“ We are the Anime Lovers Club and we want to ask you to join our club,” Another one said.
“ I will think on it,” Turquoise said.
“ I suggest you do,” The leader said before he and his group took their leave.
Lemon asked why Turquoise did not accept right away. Turquoise told her a lot of clubs have invited her to join and she was having a hard time deciding. Sunny told her to just go with the one she likes the best. Lemon asked Turquoise if she is joining that anime club to bring her with since she wants to join too. As the bell rang everyone went back to class. As the final bell rang Turquoise looked for the room number she was given along with Lemon. They found the room and Ace was surprised to see Turquoise come in.
“ What brings you here my lovely Turquoise?” Ace asked.
“ Your friends asked me to join and I decided to accept their offer but only if my friend Lemon joins with me,” Turquoise replied.
“ Sure the more the merrier welcome to the Anime Lovers club Turquoise and Lemon,” The leader said.
The members introduced themselves to Lemon and Turquoise.
“ I’m Dark Script the Writer and leader of the group,” Dark said.
“ I’m Flame Bit the Tech expert of the group,” Flame said.
“ And I’m Golden Voice the vocal expert of the group,” Golden said.
“ You already more than know Ace the artist of the group,” Dark said.
“ Base on everything you said I’m guessing you guys do more than watch anime?” Turquoise asked.
“ That’s right Turquoise we don,t just watch anime and manga we create our own as well,” Ace said.
“ Looks like we picked the perfect club for us right Turquoise?” Lemon asked.
“ We sure did,” Turquoise replied.
