Silver woke up and began this routine of becoming Turquoise. She went downstairs like always but this time she decided to drive herself to school. Turquoise found the student parking and got out. As Turquoise was on her way to her first period a red girl with long black hair and her two friends stopped her.

“ Are you by any chance Turquoise Dusk?” One of the girls asked.

“ I am,” Turquoise replied.

“ Listen I know we never met before now but we heard you were dating Painted Ace and we are concerned about you,” the red girl said.

“ What is there to be concerned about and who are you three?” Turquoise asked.

“ Apologies I’m Burning Heart and these are my friends Juno and Love Melody,” Burning said referring to a cyan girl with blonde hair with a red bow in it and a green girl with pink hair tied in a ponytail.

“ Now that introductions are out of the way back to the topic at hand did Ace ever have you dress up as one of the girls in his sketchbook?” Juno asked.

“ A couple of times,” Turquoise replied.

“ Just as we thought Turquoise we hate to tell you this since you seem to be sensitive but Ace is just using you,” Love said.

“ Your lying, Ace is not using me he cares about me, He was even willing to accept me for what I am,” Turquoise said frantically.

“ You mean a boy in girl’s clothing, That just confirms our suspicions even more,” Burning said.

“ How did you,” Turquoise asked before interrupted.

“ We can tell the difference between a real girl and a boy wanting to be one,” Juno replied.

“ Don,t worry we're not mad at you, in fact, we consider you one of us which is why we are warning you as concerned friends,” Love said.

“ I know it’s a lot to handle but if you need us we will be here for you anytime,” Burning said before the warning bell went off.

Turquoise resumed her walk to her first period. She arrived just in time and took her seat. The stuff that was said about Ace echoed through her mind as the class went on. Turquoise kept thinking until her teacher interrupted her train of thought.

“ Miss Dusk can you please tell the class what the names of the two rovers that explored Mars are,” The teacher asked testing her focus.

“ Spirit and Opportunity,” Turquoise answered dodging a figurative bullet.

Turquoise resumed thinking until the bell rang. As everyone was heading to their second period Turquoise noticed Ace talking with someone. Turquoise hid to hear what they were saying.

“ That dumb bimbo has no clue I’m just using her and once I have her come dressed as Ula I will expose her secret in front of everyone and then its goodbye Silver and Turquoise,” Ace said to the other person who was another girl.

“ Good we can,t let sissies like him think he can be on par with us real girls it's an insult to all the effort we put into looking beautiful,” The girl said.

“ I’m sure the football team will enjoy filling Turquoise up once we turn everyone against her,” Ace said.

“ And your Club Members?” The girl asked.

“ They suspect nothing Blair,” Ace said while laughing evilly.

Turquoise was really heartbroken after hearing everything. She ran to her next class trying her best to hide her sadness. The day went on and Turquoise was having a hard time keeping her emotions in check. Lunchtime finally came and as soon as Turquoise entered the Cafeteria she spotted the three girls from earlier. The girls sensed her sadness and invited her to join them. She took a seat and told them they were right about Ace before letting her tears shed.

“ Its ok Turquoise let it all out you're allowed to,” Love said.

Lemon came in and noticed Turquoise sitting at another table crying her eyes out. Lemon decided to see what was going on.

“ Why is Turquoise crying?” Lemon asked.

“ She just saw Ace’s true colors and it hurt her,” Burning said.

“ Tell me Turquoise what did he say or do?” Lemon asked.

“ He was talking to a girl named Blair and said I was nothing to him but a sissy bimbo and was planning to expose me in front of the whole school,” Turquoise said through her crying.

“ That's just mean and whats worst he was cheating on you, I know your not a real girl but he opened his heart to you and crushing yours is not cool,” Love said with a hint of rage in her voice.

“ Agreed and I bet that Zach guy is not really a manga artist,” Lemon said.

“ Zacheraous Inkwell?” Burning asked.

“ That's the guy,” Lemon replied.

“ Then Ace is worst than we thought he was going to sell Turquoise to some porn agency,” Juno said.

“ What should we do about him,” Lemon asked.

“ Right now keep Turquoise safe she is in a very fragile state now,” Burning replied.

“ Your right Turquoise head home after school today I am going to confront Ace at today’s club meeting,” Lemon said.

Lemon explained her plan to Burning, Juno, And Love and then to Turquoise. Turquoise cheered up a little before the bell rang and everyone went back to class. As the final bell rang Turquoise made her way to her car and went home. Lemon went to the club room with the intent to wring the truth out of Ace. Lemon entered the room and marched right up to Ace.

“ All right Ace why do you hate Turquoise so much?” Lemon shouted.

“ Lemon I have no idea what you mean I love her with all my heart,” Ace said with fake sincerity.

“ Don,t play games with me she heard you talking about your evil scheme with your real partner Blair,” Lemon shouted while doing the objection pose on Blair’s name.

Ace felt like some powerful force coming from Lemon hit him. The other members of the club were eating up the courtroom style action until Ace recovered.

“ Do you have any proof I was up to anything?” Ace countered feeling like he was in an Ace Attorney game.

The three girls Turquoise met this morning came in and then Ace was starting to get mad.

“ YOU THREE I THOUGHT I WAS DONE WITH ALL OF YOU?” Ace shouted.

“ And we see you're still into drawing girls in anime style and then tricking them into doing the unspeakable for your pal Inkwell,” Burning said.

Ace what are these girls talking about,” Dark asked.

Ace was about to answer until Lemon interrupted him.

“ HOLD IT,” Lemon shouted feeling like she had to.

“ Allow me to explain, this jerk was going to hurt Turquoise and then sell her off to some porn agency,” Lemon said.

“ That's not true I love Turquoise even if she is not a real girl,” Ace said shocking the other members of his club.

“ Are you saying our model for Ula is really a dude?,” Flame asked.

“ Yes and Silver has some nerve thinking he can be on equal ground with real girls like my Blair,” Ace said shocking everyone even more.

“ You had an actual girlfriend all this time then why date Silver if you're already spoken for?” Lemon asked.

“ Simple I wanted to show Silver where a sissy’s real place was and that is satisfying a real man’s urges while looking ridiculous,” Ace pointed out without realizing Love was broadcasting the whole thing to Principal Cadence.

“You're a real jerk you know that Ace taking a delicate boy who finally found peace with himself and then plotting to shatter that peace,” Lemon said.

“ Who the hell cares it is already too late because his hair extensions are going to fall out tomorrow, You see while I was styling his hair to the way I like it I weakened the adhesive that held it in place so it looks like I win,” Ace said while laughing triumphantly only for that triumph to be shattered by Principal Cadence.

“ Guess again Ace I heard everything and you just displayed the type of behavior I won’t tolerate in my school so as of this moment you're expelled,” Cadence shouted.

“ You think I care at least tomorrow Silver’s fan club will be disbanded and his confidence destroyed and no one will care,” Ace said taking what he could as an S-rank victory.

“ Ace Robinson Greyson is this how we raised you I think not,” Ace’s Mom said as she charged in.

“ We been teaching you all these years that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and now what do we hear about our son that he is a human trafficking trans hating monster who came close to hurting an innocent girl who just wanted to be at peace with herself,” Ace’s dad said.

“ So as of this moment Ace you're grounded for life and your convention pass, Sketchbook, And that cosplay Turquoise and her mom went out of their way to make for you now belong to Turquoise,” Ace’s dad said before taking said items from Ace.

“ And before we head home and empty your room we are going to the Silver Mansion to apologize to Silver Bullet and Ruby Style,” Ace’s Mom said before dragging Ace by his ear.

Meanwhile back at the Silver Mansion Turquoise was in her room crying her eyes out while both her parents trying to figure out how to handle the situation. As they were thinking the doorbell rang and the butler answered the door.

“ Is this the Silver Residence we have somethings to discuss with Mr.Bullet and Ms.Ruby,” Ace’s Dad said.

“ Indeed it is right this way,” The butler said as he showed them inside.

The butler informed Bullet and Ruby about the arrival of Ace’s Parents and showed them in. They all sat down before talking.

“ We’re very sorry about what our son did to your daughter I hope you can forgive us,” Ace’s Mom said.

“ You mean our son right?” Bullet asked.

“ We do, When Ace brought Turquoise home with him that night we could tell who Turquoise was and even though your son may not know it he is very brave I mean not only is he not afraid to dress up in public he pulls it off almost flawlessly,” Ace’s Mom said.

“ I do my best to help Turquoise as best I can,” Ruby said while smiling.

“ I know she may still be hurt but is it ok if we speak with Turquoise we owe her the biggest apology of all,” Ace’s Dad asked.

“ I will get her but she may not want to speak with anyone in her state,” Ruby said before leaving.

Ruby went upstairs and knocked on Turquoise’s door.

“ Turquoise please come downstairs a couple of people want to speak with you,” Ruby said and then heard movement.

Turquoise opened her door and her face was covered in smudges. As they walked Ruby wiped the smudges off revealing Turquoise’s bare face. Turquoise was scared after seeing Ace’s parents in the room. Ruby assured her they were here to apologize not to harm her. Turquoise took a seat and tried to make eye contact despite her state. Ace’s Mom pulled out the things she and her husband confiscated from Ace and put them on the table.

“ I know this is not much of an apology but we thought you should have these since our son won’t be needing them where we are sending him,” Ace’s Dad said as he gave Turquoise the Convention Pass, Sketchbook, And Jet cosplay.

“ The pass and Cosplay I get but why his Sketchbook?” Turquoise asked.

“ Ace had a thing for drawing anime girls so we thought you would want some ideas for outfits,” Ace’s Mom replied.

“ Thank you,” Turquoise said before taking the stuff back to her room.

“ Ruby can you make sure Turquoise does not pull out you know what,” Bullet asked.

“ On it,” Ruby said before going to Turquoise’s room.

“ What is the you know what?” Ace’s Dad asked.

“ Before Turquoise decided to become a girl she was recreating a gaming system from one of her favorite animes call a nerve gear and we don,t want her doing a high output scan on her brain,” Bullet replied.

“ High Output Scan?” Ace’s mom asked.

“ From what I saw in that anime the villain used his own invention to commit suicide by frying his brain with microwaves,” Bullet explained.

Ruby was by Turquoise’s side trying to calm her down.

“ You still have friends who care about you and I’m sure the rest of the members of your club will accept you for who you want to be,” Ruby said.

“ What's the point tomorrow my locks will fall out and Turquoise will be gone,” Turquoise said.

“ I know which is why instead of going to school tomorrow we are going to the Salon how does that sound?” Ruby asked.

Turquoise cheered up a little after hearing that and hugged her mom. Ruby hugged back healing the scars on Turquoise’s heart a little.

Author's Notes:

I know this one is darker than the others but a reader told me to reveal more about Ace and a friend of mine told me people want to hate the love interest. I was a bit nervous about writing this one since I did not want to go too far with the discipline and hate. Anyway, hope you enjoy this one. If I went too far I apologize in advance.
