As the Gala approaches, Skyler focuses more and more on what needs to be done,
while outside forces threaten to cancel the event.
“Okay Dina, ya’s up!” Lil says, making me giggle as I approach the table, straightening my casual tank top and short denim skirt before brushing my long hair out of my face. With a determined look, I pick up the ball and the paddle with my immaculately manicured fingers and make my serve, giggling at the noise the hollow plastic sphere makes as it bounces back and forth between myself and Martha.
It’s been two days since Ginny became the first candidate to leave the ‘Angel Mansion’ and, in that time, I’ve made a real effort to get to know the rest of the candidates better.
Chapter 21: A Helping Hand
Crystal has gotten used to being a girl, a Nymph, a Muse, and even a mother figure, but is she really ready to go to an all-girls school and start working at Pandora's Box? The life of a trouble magnet is never easy.
The Efreeti’s eyes widened again as she once again blushed. “You’re going to be a stripper?”

Eli grew up on a ranch in Montana. He had heard about Incursions, Breaches, and the Titans that came through those breaches to slaughter some people and capture others. To him though, it had always been something that happened far away to other people. His life was forever changed though when a Breach opened near his home, everything he knew was destroyed or taken, and he ended up Altered.

“Huh. This is not how I was expecting this conversation to go,” I told her honestly. “I was worried that you were trying to hide how much it was upsetting you.”

The family of three return to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. It is a time of discovery for Ed and Rose.
For John, too, but his discoveries are more difficult to deal with. This chapter is a series of contrasts between
one of the best Thanksgivings ever and one of the worst. It's a slightly different approach for me.
Thank you all for sticking with Bebe and me!

As the poet wrote, 'You can never go home.' Bebe finds she agrees. Thanksgiving is causing some anxiety
for our heroine, but when she gets home, things are very different than when she left. Can she use the benefits of
her fame to help make things right, or will she just make things worse? Thank you to everyone who is sticking
with Bebe and me, I really appreciate your support.

Well, I obviously did something wrong yesterday when I attempted to post this chapter. Oh, well, better
late than never. Things are moving even faster for Skyler as he plunges deeper and deeper into girlhood. And
now some decisions regarding what will happen after the gala need to be considered.

Part II
I took a deep breath as I watched Jamie collect the plastic brown tray that was heavily laden with a mountain of food that I'm sure contained enough calories to power a nuclear power plant. Feeling like a lost puppy I followed closely behind Jamie. A few seconds later she eased the brown, plastic tray down upon a nearby table and then she stepped around and pulled a chair away from the table. She then motioned for me to sit down.
“Why?” I said as I watched Jamie pull the chair out from under the table.
Jack was greeted warmly by Victoria who pulled him into a tight embrace warm with feeling and regard, as soon as he arrived at her door. Though he was slightly saddened to think that really she had greeted him as she would any of her girlfriends. Still, their relationship was new to them both and complicated making Victoria's greeting understandable to Jack, who soon forgot that thought, so distracted was he by the fluttering of his heart as he leaned his head on Victoria's shoulder and Victoria's heartbeat, fast like his own as she pulled him ever closer to her.
A Tense Departure: Raj’s First Day
Raj couldn’t stop fidgeting with the collar of his crisp new uniform as he stepped onto the aircraft. It was his first day as a flight attendant—a day he’d dreamed about since childhood—and yet a knot of tension coiled tightly in his stomach. The weight of the cabin crew badge on his lapel felt heavier than he’d imagined, and he sensed the other flight attendants watching him the moment he boarded.

Skyler becomes more determined to win the Gala, especially after discovering that not all
of the contestants are nice. He joins Regina and Paula for their first modeling gig and then, of
course, life gets more complicated. P.S. There are no music links at the end of this chapter.
Only 2 new pieces are mentioned and they are fairly modern songs that are easily googled
if you don't know them.

Chapter 14 Recap.
Arjun had always been proud of his hair. It was thick, dark, and fell in smooth waves well below his back—far longer than most other boys in college. He often left it open, allowing it to flow behind him when he walked. Whenever anyone commented, he would dismiss them with a smirk and continue on his way. He believed that nobody should dictate how he looked.

Skyler has to make some decisions - should he resist his transformation or should he go all
in to try to win The Gala? Thank you for all the reviews and comments. I did understand that using
a real life political issue would not agree with everyone. I'm sorry if my point of view veers from
yours, but that is the nature of political discussion. At times, we must just agree to disagree.

Chapter Twenty-Four - Leap
When I was a teenager, I once made the mistake of tossing uneaten candy into the plastic bin besides my bed. During a hot summer’s night, up through the floorboards small black ants had acted on the report of whichever scout had discovered the bounty, and all swarmed the can.
They also hadn’t stopped there.

The slope becomes more slippery as Skyler slides inextricably towards femininity.
Thank you so much for all the reviews and the 'welcome back' messages.
It's nice to have completed a story after six months of writing and rewriting.

Skyler finds himself in an awkward situation and, because the situation could lead
to a huge scholarship, all the women in his life seem to want to keep him in that situation.
As I have done in a previous story, there are links posted at the end of each chapter that
will bring you to a YouTube version of the music mentioned. There's only one link for this
chapter, but there will be more as the story progresses. Please feel free to leave comments!
A QUICK NOTE: This was a long and somewhat challenging story for me, AND it
was written during the most busy, exhausting and frustrating six months of my life. I hope
it appeals to you. If it doesn't, that's cool, too, but regardless,
it was my link to sanity during a tough time.

Chapter Twenty-Three - Taijitu
In the coldest of air we gathered at the top of the Spires. Out of the rock face a matching henge to its counterpart at the embassy in Dis had long ago been excavated, though this one was not currently pockmarked from the insult of repeated energy blasts, having been resurfaced after its own checkered history. Twitch and Horatio stood at my side, while Vance, leaning on a short-yet-distinguished onyx cane and shivering underneath the thickest of silver-furred coats, had been busy examining all the sigils and workings carved into the stones - ensuring that each was still properly aligned.
That makes two men I’ve kissed tonight, I thought.

Why is this a day late? I have no idea! I must have messed up the up-load some how. I am so sorry, but MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE everyone! Whether you observe or not, it's still Christmas Eve. So, to the synopsis: Now what? Deedee had found her true self and that had led to friends, love and happiness, but the pettiness of a rich rival had torn that all away. So what happens when her friends and classmates find out she's not 'really' a girl. What happens when Willie finds out? Will it matter if Dr Martin loses her position at Greenwood Academy? Let's find out!!!
First, he shrank. Not dramatically so – this wasn’t like Honey I Shrunk the Kids or Alice in Wonderland or anything. He was very far from Dwarf height, either. At most, he lost a foot and change in stature, enough so that his eye line was now below the picture mounted on the wall in front of him, whereas just moments before he could look directly at it without having to crane his neck back.
