The next day Silver woke up and began his routine of transforming into Turquoise. After he got ready he received a text message from Ace.

“ Hi Turquoise I have a small favor to ask of you at today’s club meeting,” the message said.

Before Turquoise could reply she noticed it was almost time to go and bolted to the Dining Room after grabbing her backpack. As soon as Turquoise grabbed her lunch she ran for her limo.

Like always the limo arrived in front of Crystal Prep right on the dot and Turquoise caught up with her friends before going to her first period.

Hi everyone,” Turquoise said as she and the Shadowbolt five entered the building.

Turquoise made it to her first period on time and began to think about what Ace was going to ask her to do. As the day progressed Turquoise could not bear the suspense. As soon as Lunchtime came Turquoise decided to ask Lemon if she knows anything. Turquoise took her usual spot with the Shadowbolt five and asked Lemon about what Ace could want her help with.

“ Maybe he needs help with one of his drawings or something,” Lemon said.

Turquoise did consider it a possibility and decided to wait till she and Lemon arrived at the club room. As soon as lunch ended Turquoise told Lemon she would see her at the club meeting after school. As the day went on Turquoise was growing more and more impatient. Finally, the final bell rang and Turquoise was off to the club room. As soon as she got there Ace approached her.

“ Did you get my message Turquoise?” Ace asked.

“ I did,” Turquoise replied.

“ Good now you remember that drawing I made called blade of the sea?” Ace asked.

“ Yes,” Turquoise replied.

“ Well someone saw it and asked our club to create a manga series on it and I need you to dress as that character and pose for me so I can draw the cover art,” Ace said making Turquoise blush a little.

“ I’ll do it but first is their somewhere for me to change?” Turquoise asked.

Ace showed Turquoise the bathroom inside the room and Turquoise took the costume to change into. A few minutes later Turquoise came out wearing a cobalt dress similar to sabre’s with light green wave patterns along with silver armored three-inch heeled boots. Lemon was confused by the look.

“ Are we creating a Fate Manga?” Lemon asked.

“ Not at all this is something original Sabre is not the only woman in anime to dress like this,” Ace said while giving Turquoise her sword.

Ace grabbed a curling iron and asked Lemon to hold both sides of Turquoise’s hair. Ace went to work on one side and began to curl it really good and then released it resulting in a medium sized drill. Ace repeated the process on the other side and Turquoise now had a perfect pair of twin drills. Everyone was amazed by the look.

“ Turquoise you look much more radiant with twin drills,” lemon said.

“ Thanks,” Turquoise replied.

Turquoise took her position in front of the screen and did some poses with the sword. Once she did one where she stabbed it into the ground in front of her Ace told her to hold it and Turquoise made a very serious face like she was emitting a powerful aura. A few minutes later Ace told Turquoise she could move again and showed everyone the finished picture. It was Turquoise standing on top of a lake with wings made of ice and a splash where she stabbed the sword. The sword looked bigger and looked like it had blue energy coming out of it. After the cover art for the first book was completed Turquoise changed back into her uniform but kept the Twin Drills. Everyone went home for the day and Turquoise was getting a lot more attention thanks to her new hairstyle. As soon as Turquoise got home Ruby was surprised to see what Turquoise did with her hair.

“ Love the twin drills Turquoise they make you look more regal and radiant,” Ruby said.

“ Thanks, mom it was Ace’s idea his drawing based off of me was so popular our club decided to begin making a manga series around her and I'm sure you can guess who Ace asked to model for the cover,” Turquoise said playfully on the last part.

“ He must have a good eye you are perfect for it after all,” Ruby said.

As Turquoise and Ruby were talking Bullet came up and also noticed Turquoise’s new hairstyle.

“ I see you now taken up experimenting with your hair now,” Bullet said.

“ Bullet if this is going to be more negative feedback about how you are losing your son some more don't say it,” Ruby said knowing where this goes by now.

“ No, I’m finally getting used to Turquoise being here and if this is what Silver truly wants then I will get started on making an appointment for a sex change,” Bullet said scaring Silver a little.

“ Hold on dad it's only been less than a week since I started going down this path I still have much to learn before I make a decisive decision,” Silver said to Bullet’s relief.

“ No need to rush but I do have a proposition for you Silver,” Bullet said.

“ I’m listening,” Silver said.

“ I’m not going to interfere with your path but I want you to return to being Silver at least once in a while you know see the positives of being a man before making your choice since afterward there will be no turning back,” Bullet proposed.

Silver thought it over and then remembered all the torment and pain he went through because of his gender and not meeting the mold for it.

“ Did you forget all the bullying and abuse I went through in Middle School?” Silver asked.

“ That’s right Bullet you remember how our son would always come home bruised and bleeding?” Ruby asked.

“ I can never forget all of that but what do you think will happen once someone exposes Silver to everyone at Crystal Prep?” Bullet replied.

“ You have a fair point Bullet but that's why I’m here and Silver told me his closest friends know his secret and they promised to help protect it,” Ruby said.

“ Look Silver I know your condition made being a man hard for you but hiding behind girly clothes and make-up is not the answer you may not be big or strong but your intellect more than makes up for it so please even if it’s just for one day return to the boy I care about,” Bullet pleaded.

“ That's enough Bullet Turquoise gave you her answer so please don't ever ask her to do that again,” Ruby said taking Turquoise somewhere to calm her down.

Ruby took Turquoise back to her room where they can talk without her dad making things worse.

“ Do you think dad hates me now that I quit being his son?” Turquoise asked.

“ He could never hate you he is just worried that what happened back in Cloudsdale will happen again,” Ruby replied assuringly.

“ Tell me Turquoise how did Silver feel during his first day at Crystal Prep?” Ruby asked.

“ He was a nervous wreck and was alone in a world full of strangers until the faint sound of his favorite song led to the introduction of his first true friend,” Turquoise replied.

“ And did this friend show him the path to a better life and if so did he back out even once,” Ruby asked.

“ She did and even when some people saw through his outfit he never quit he kept moving forward,” Turquoise replied before Ruby smiled.

“ Well, then there's your answer if you just keep moving forward like always everyone will come around,” Ruby said.

Turquoise cheered up after the pressure her dad put her through. Ruby told Turquoise to come back home after school tomorrow and she would have something special for her big date with Ace tomorrow ready. With that Turquoise got ready for bed and went to sleep.

The next day Turquoise woke up and was surprised to see her hair went back to its natural long form. Turquoise got dressed and went downstairs. Before Turquoise left for school Bullet approached her.

“ Look Sil, Turquoise I’m sorry for what I asked of you yesterday it was selfish of me to try and force you to return to a life you don't like so whatever you choose I will be supportive of just like your mother,” Bullet said.

“ Thanks, dad and I can't wait to introduce you and mom to Ace,” Turquoise said before leaving.

As Turquoise arrived at Crystal Prep everyone swoon over Turquoise like always but this time she answered them.

“ Sorry boys but I have a date with a handsome guy tonight,” Turquoise said making the guys want her more.

As Turquoise entered the building she found Lemon Zest and asked her to tell everyone at the club why she won,t be attending today. Lemon knew why and agreed to tell them even though they might already know why. Turquoise arrived at her first period and was thinking about her date. As the day went on Turquoise became more and more excited for tonight. Lunchtime came and Turquoise and her friends were busy talking until Ace comes to them.

“ Turquoise is it ok if I ask for your address?” Ace asked.

“ Sure,” Turquoise replied while writing it down for him and giving it to him.

The day went on and when the final bell rang Turquoise went up front to catch her ride home. Turquoise arrived home and in the foyer, Ruby was waiting for her.

“You're going to love the outfit I made for your date Turquoise,” Ruby said as she and Turquoise went to her Sewing Room.

Ruby showed Turquoise a mannequin wearing a pink lace dress with a black belt on the waist and a black girl’s blazer. Ruby told Turquoise to try it on. She took the outfit and went into the changing room. A few minutes later Turquoise came out and Ruby was impressed.

“ You look really pretty in that outfit Turquoise,” Ruby said.

“ Thanks, mom,” Turquoise said.

Ruby told Turquoise to take out the sapphire studs in her ears. Turquoise was reluctant about it until Ruby assured her the holes are set so it was safe to take them out now. Turquoise removed them and Ruby replaced them with a pair of gold and black dangling ones. Turquoise hardly felt it this time. Ruby also placed a bracelet of the same colors as her earrings on her right wrist.

“ Looking good now to work on your hair and I have the perfect style in mind,” Ruby said while Turquoise put her black heels on.

Ruby grabbed all of Turquoise’s hair and gathered it into a single ponytail than bound it with a black hair tie. Ruby than pulled out a curling iron and turned turquoise's ponytail into a drill. Ruby completed the look with a black hair band with a black bow with rhinestones on the side. Turquoise looked in the mirror and was met with a cute teenage girl ready for her big night.

“ Thanks for helping me, mom,” Turquoise said.

“ Not a problem,” Ruby said while handing Turquoise a black heart-shaped purse.

Just as Turquoise was getting ready the doorbell rand and Bullet answered the door.

“ You must be Ace,” Bullet said while looking at him.

“ I am is Turquoise ready to go?” Ace asked.

“ Turquoise your date is here,” Bullet shouted as Turquoise appeared at the top of the stairs.

Ace’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of Turquoise’s sheer beauty. Turquoise descended down the stairs and asked her father what he thought of Ace so far.

“ He is a very nice young man you were right about him,” Bullet said.

“ Have fun you two,” Ruby said as Turquoise and Ace went off.

Ace drove to a nice Italian restaurant and opened Turquoise’s door for her. Turquoise and Ace went inside and Ace spoke to the hostess.

“ Ace party of two,” Ace said.

“ Oh yes, here it is Painted Ace plus one right this way. The hostess said as she showed Ace and Turquoise to their table.

Ace and Turquoise figured now would be a good time to learn about each other.

“ So Ace tell me how did you figure out my secret?” Turquoise started.

“ When we bumped into each other in the hall I felt something poke me from below I did not mention it because I wanted to be polite,” Ace replied.

“ I will definitely have to work on that later,” Turquoise said while blushing.

“ My turn to ask something, what made you get into cross-dressing?” Ace asked.

“ Before my first day at Crystal Prep, I had this strange dream about the girl you see before you I was a nervous wreck until I met Lemon and told her about it. The next day she and her friend Rarity showed me this part I never knew I had and to be honest I enjoy,” Turquoise replied.

Ace and Turquoise kept talking and realized they had a lot in common. As the conversation continued the waiter brought them their food. Ace loved how graceful Turquoise was even when eating and Turquoise was glad to have met such a nice guy. After they finished eating Ace paid the bill and Ace took Turquoise to his place to show her something special.

Ace and Turquoise arrived at Ace’s House and Ace brought Turquoise inside. Ace’s parents walked into the living room.

“ You must be Turquoise I must say you look as beautiful as Ace described,” Ace’s Mom said.

“ Thanks, I try my best,” Turquoise said.

Ace showed Turquoise his room which was filled with a lot of his drawings.

“ I see you are impressed with my work,” Ace said noticing Turquoise looking around.

“ I am,” Turquoise said.

Ace told Turquoise he had a surprise for her. Ace pulled out two VIP passes for an anime convention coming up in spring.

“ Turquoise I know we only had one date so far but I was wondering would you come to Comic-Con with me,” Ace asked.

“ Yes Ace yes,” Turquoise said joyfully.

Ace gave Turquoise her pass and told her to hang on to it. Ace noticed it was late and decided to take Turquoise home before her parents worry. Ace arrived in front of Turquoise’s Mansion and kissed her lightly before heading home. As soon as Turquoise went inside Ruby asked how her date went. Turquoise said it was amazing and that Ace invited her to come with him to an Anime Convention in the spring. Ruby was excited to hear Ace wanted to go out with her more. Turquoise went upstairs to her room to get ready for bed. Turquoise put her pass inside her desk drawer for safekeeping and changed out of her date outfit. Turquoise went to sleep the happiest she ever been.
