Chapter 2
It had taken a while to finally convey the whole story to Alex, and even then he wasn’t sure he was understanding every detail as it was relayed back to him. Toni explained it slowly and thusly.
Tristan and Toni had been neighbours to one point up until he and his family moved house, they remained in school together best friends through and through, no hardships too tough that they couldn’t handle. Tristan had always had an interest in girl’s clothing over boys clothing, an interest he keeps closeted out of comfort where as before it was an interest he kept behind lock and key in fear of ridicule. He would pretend from a young age and would constantly steal from his elder sister articles of clothing he knew she would not miss. old pairs of panties that no longer fit her, skirts, with some rips at the hem, and even a bathing suit she just got tired of with a Hawaiian floral pattern. Tristan was keeping it a good secret up until one accidental time an unlocked cupboard and a nosey best friend saw his secret exposed.
“He was so shy about it really, i thought it was cute before anything else” Toni said giggling to herself as she paced around “the factory” and cleaned up some of the miscellaneous good from the floor, Tristan blushed and hung his head as she continued.
He did in fact try and cover his tracks saying they were merely his sisters and her closet was too big for all the items, but he had too few to really pass that lie off. Toni asked simply and straight forward if he liked wearing them, and Tristan staring back at his only friend submitted under pressure and relayed the truth along with his experiences trying on the clothes when Toni had asked.
Toni was vastly interested in fashion. engrossed in fashion detail books, not the kinds that over exemplify the fashion models to being tight thinned out females who’s last meal consisted of the practice of seeing said meal leave the body just as quickly as it entered, no, she was interested with in depth magazines that go to lengths on the style the steps from idea to reality, the design process etc etc. Her favourite thing to do was to read up on newly formed talent, and to read over the expertise and insight of one Mrs Samantha Bunny, a fashion designer opening up her own outlets. Toni at this point went off an a tangent about her love of the fashion designer leaving Alex and Tristan in a very awkward stiff silence where neither looked at each other but knew they were thinking about each other and about what they thought of each other. She came back to and continued stating how she wanted to start early and make clothing but with a twist. She came to Tristan one day with a proposal, that she wanted his help in her work designing and making outfits and dresses and other articles of clothing. Tristan eagerly said yes without knowing what he’d get into, It was no trap at all she kept explaining, he had every chance to say no to get out of there to think nothing more about it. Tristan didn’t though, he didn’t think twice about it, didn’t run for the hills and didn’t think anything ill of his best friend. from that moment on Tristan would be the model for “the factory” the clothing line designed for boys, to be girls.
Alex just sat there on a floor pillow his mind buzzing with the imagery of the whole story, he couldn’t believe it at all. Maybe this was just one silly prank before the whole panties prank? Nope Toni just kept showing off the detail of her work the very well done sketches of dress concepts, outfits, even a take not he girl’s school uniform they wore, but with edits to fit a boy’s frame better. Alex just coughed and looked around the tension seeming like it would never come to an end unless he was the one to continue to speak “Well that is huh something else” he said “Not that it’s bad” he quickly corrected “It’s Just, new to me.”
This could be chalked down as another difficult situation to handle, one of accepting new normalities and coming to understand friends better. Alex did want to see Toni and Tristan as his friends, they were nice funny, liked what he liked so to have that ruined by not understanding one another would have made everything, the move, the divorce, the new school all that much more difficult. Being alone was a terrible feeling, and when everything seems to add up on a child, it almost feels like a very empty and cold thing clinging to one’s insides. Alex knew this feeling, the cold isolation of being left alone during the awkward silences with his father, which made him seem much farther away than the few feet he was in reality. Then Alex thought back to the times he was not alone, the fun afternoons he would spend with neighbour children playing about whilst the warm welcoming smile of his mother was never more than a few feet away.
“I don’t mind it” he stated with a smile to his lips and a glint of admiration in his eye as he looked to Tristan who was still huddling himself into a ball on a pillow and hiding his face from embarrassment and upon hearing this looked up slowly wondering if Alex was being honest. “Honest, I think its actually kinda cool, you’re practically a model.”
“He is, he’s my model” Added in Toni
“Yes! and i bet he’s great, guys i’m actually excited now, I wanna see you model Tristan, and I wanna see you design and make dresses Toni.” Alex got two very odd looks from the two before they just blurted out with laughter, a good sign that the tension in the room was greatly lowered and that everyone was comfortable again. It took some more convincing to Tristan that Alex was indeed perfectly fine with him to dress up and model if it’s what he wanted and that he enjoyed himself. Meanwhile Toni was at her drawing board looking between cutouts of dresses from the many magazines she had and drawing down comparisons , jotting notes and making new pattern designs for a skirt which, of what little Alex could glimpse, seemed very cute, with a tiny jellyfish near the hem. Soon Tristan went off into A closet with a tiny plaque above it reading “Dressing room”.
“you seem to like labelling everything like it’s actually a design studio.” stated Alex looking over the stylish plaque. Toni looked up from her designs and smiled, replying
“I’m modelling this entire set up after one of my idols” her glee was obvious when she brought up the subject, and Alex smiled with great interest. She repeated herself at some points without knowing it but from everything that was said so far, Alex knew this.
There was once a Beautiful woman, proud and confident, from another town; which she was a political figurehead of, and who had put her talents and charisma to the fashion world beginning her own line of women’s clothing and soon becoming a country wide phenomena. Toni said that it was her never ending drive to design, to create and to provide in any way for her family that lead to her being so successful.
“She sounds very interesting” Alex said sitting himself down on the floor pillows again and noticing the small decorations of what the room, now known as “the factory”, used to be. Tiny little stars clung onto the ceiling, holes of thumb tack where posters would be hung near the window, and dent marks in the carpeting where a bed no doubt was. Toni still energetic from what had to have been a favoured topic to her still pressed on.
“OH she is!” exclaimed Toni “And what is even better in a week from now she’ll be opening up her own store here, at our mall!”
“You’re very excited about a new store!” mimicked Alex
“Didn’t you hear me? SHE will be opening it, ribbon ceremony speech and everything, our mall will be the final store opened and then she’ll have opened a store in every state in the country” He pondered if that was resin enough to have a ceremony over, but felt it seemed appropriate to celebrate an accomplishment.
“Okay” said the dim voice of Tristan from behind the closet door, or the “changing room” door for those who prefer obeying the plaque. It then opened, coming to one side to reveal, a cute Panther girl, with hair brushed to one side covering over her left eye and held in place with a Grey bow with a white knot centre. She was wearing A Grey and white floral patterned Lolita dress with a short hem skirt, thigh high stockings and a shiny pitch black pair of Mary jane shoes.
Toni squealed with gleeful delight clapping her hands together rapidly as she hopped up from her chair and looked all around the other girl,
“Oh wow look at you! this is even better than last time! Told you you’d look good with your fringe like that” Toni exclaimed paying more visual attention on the dress than the girl in it. There was no need for Alex to have explained to him that the girl he was looking upon was Tristan, all Alex did was stand perfectly still his eyes hovering over every detail of the outfit much akin to Toni “Oh look at you Trinity you’re perfect in this outfit, i should fix the stitching” Alex took a brief moment to look up at Tristan’s face when he heard the new name, and not much to his surprise Tristan was blushing but Alex looked away as soon as he had realised it, he was blushing too, cheeks a bright red with embarrassment. His eyes then darted back down to Toni who was kneeling by the hem of the skirt inspecting every inch of the fabrics for fraying material or loose threads.
Alex was not blushing for any reason of youthful admiration or finding Tristan cute, which he did but not in the way one would say their small spouse is cute, or how a baby is cute, no Alex was blushing because for a moment for a split second in his mind he did not see Tristan or Trinity inside the outfit, but a black long eared girl with sapphire eyes and shinning blonde hair. Of course Like with the other boy, who now did not resemble a boy at all, Alex did not need it explained to him that the girl he saw in the dress was himself.
“I wanna buy that” he said to himself in what Alex most assuredly thought was a hushed whisper, but there are never whispers in the factory so Toni and Tristan or Trinity turned and looked right to Alex who now had another reason for the red hue to his cheeks. “Uhm”
“you want to buy, this dress?” Toni asked slowly lingering on her words as she maintained eye contact with Alex, who for the life of him now fully understood the “deer in the headlights” metaphor.
“you want to buy the dress?” Asked Tristan or Trinity as he also stared to Alex Making him feel as if he was the most unfortunate deer to see headlights, because to him he had two sets of headlights brightly staring him down and bringing all survival instincts to their halt for far too long in the life span of any deer in any set of headlights. This is another troubling time in a child’s life, it’s a troubling time in any person’s life be they young or old, but it is mostly common in the youth, to not know what to say to diffuse a situation centred around yourself. Many people resort to babbling incoherently, many nervously attempt to change the subject and so- LOOK BEHIND YOU AN ELEPHANT! Some try to flee in a shroud of confusion.
Alex thought about it as his eyes darted between the eyes of his two new friends, who he couldn’t gauge from their expressions if they wished to remain friends, or kick Alex out of “the factory” and to never again speak with him. “Yes?” he slowly whimpered out.
Toni leaped up from her knelt stance and grinned widely, a bright toothy grin as bright as her gleaming white eyes
“Really? you’re not just saying that ?” she was standing right before him eyes locked and her body the tiniest centimetre away from his.
“Would you wear it?” Asked Tristan or Trinity from behind Toni. Alex remained silent for another second before gulping down his inhibition, as much as he could, and responded.
“Well I just meant it looked really nice, I would buy it, and I suppose…” His eyes drifted from them both looking instead to the items around the room, The Drawing board with the many dress designs pinned and still in the works, the pillows with bright patterns frays in their fabric and innocent more feminine designs strewn across the floor, and the tiny plaques with new aliases for everything before he breathed in and smiled “I would, I would wear It if I had one like that”.
Now he can’t recall. Who was it who said it first? “Give him a dress to try” ? Why was he now holding onto a a light green floral patterned dress with short sleeves? why was he inside of Toni’s very impressive walk in closet?
Short answer, he was pushed in with great enthusiasm and told, by Toni, he would not be let out unless he had tried on the dress. Tristan or Trinity, seemed to have helped in the pushing.
Long answer was Alex had shut his eyes in shame hearing his very last statement before Toni sized Alex up, Rummaged through her closet compared dresses to Alex’s form which was very similar yet shorter to Tristan’s, and had finally settled on the green floral dress and tiny ribbon, which she had strung around Alex’s ears to hold them down.
The closet was very well lit, It felt like a changing room found in a shopping mall mixed with a playhouses’ backstage area with a mirror light up on all sides by tiny round lights. fairy lights over head giving it that “Girlish” quality that seemed to now be surrounding Alex.
Alex sighed querying as to why he was not protesting, what about all this felt so familiar? was it that one time he played dress up as a child? No, not one time. There was another.
He must not have been five days into preschool, a small gathering of parents leaving behind their children in a small but very brightly coloured classroom. Alex tiny and frail hid away in the corner of what he thought was somewhere no one went, but soon realised was a bright pink cutaway in the shape of a castle. Three girls had come around wanting to play princess. He remembers what happened next, they bickered over who would be princess, their fighting got much louder until the teacher stepped in. With a calm supportive voice the teacher offered up a new idea, all the while Alex kept to the corner. She had the girls consider Alex being the princess for today, and with no hesitation the girls ended their argument settling for who would be a horse, a knight and a dragon whilst Alex was told how to wear a frilly pink princess dress.
Alex smiled and looked to the mirror.
there he was, wearing a complimenting green floral dress, he didn’t seem real, he looked like a vision of a real girl standing in his place, copying him move for move. his hand gently caressed over his tied back ears head turning to see the cute ribbon tied in a neat little bow. It was cute, Toni seemed to have a very keen eye for these details. However something did not seem right with Alex he peered deep into the mirror looked over himself in the dress, examined almost every fibre could could not imagine what may be wrong. visually he was as his friends intended him to be, a boy surreally looking like a girl. It then struck him, He did not feel like a girl. This statement is not entirely true, With the dress and ribbon on and the posing in front of the mirror Alex did feel like a girl, the issue he has this very moment is that he does not feel like a girl enough. he lacked make up he lacked a feminine figure he did not sound like a girl nor walk like one. Feeling the dress down to his thighs Alex blushes at another detail which made him very aware of his lacking girlish feelings. He still wore his Boxers underneath everything. the difference in feel to the dress was noticeable, his ordinary clothes felt normal but wearing them with the dress on felt out of place, discomfortingly so.
Alex gave a shallow chap to the closet door and opened it ajar just a crack as Toni stepped in close on the other side.
“you okay in there?” she asked him “You’ve been really quiet for a while now” . Alex whispered back
“I’m fine but…” this was by far the oddest request he had every asked of anyone “This is the oddest request i’ve ever asked anyone but, do you have any panties you’ve made?” Toni has to slap a hand to her mouth to stop from herself laughing out and giggling mad with happiness all the while Alex stands feeling his face burn. After a second passes a pair of matching light green panties with tiny decorative bows on the thighs comes from between the door and its frame A design Toni had made another testament to her cute eye for detail.
they felt even softer than the dress, the panties hugged and cupped his boy hood in gentle fibres whilst the rest of him felt a warm embrace from the dress, he looked to himself in the mirror once more and smiled.
The surprise on Toni and Tristan or Trinity’s face, They couldn’t even recognise Alex from before both of them had red flushed cheeks their jaws slightly open in stunned silence, and their eyes staring with no clear indication at what part of Alex the stared at.
“Okay you’re going to have to say something before i go back and change cause i’m beginning to feel real stu-“
“You look amazing!” shouted toni whose face was in an impressively painful looking excited smile her eyes practically shimmering.
“Y-you really do Alex.” said Tristan in a shy timid voice as he smiles ever so cutely like a young schoolgirl would.
Toni ran over and gave Alex strong bear hug surprising coming from such a little bovine, and Tristan or Trinity just blushed smiling over to him. “You should model for Toni more often” He said “I can’t always get away from my family to be here so Toni’s left sitting with nothing new to work on.” Tristan continued “plus it’d mean you’d get to try on lots of new cute stuff to try on.”
Alex didn’t react how he’d thought to, with a stun, with embarrassment or with nervousness. He smiled looked to Toni and said
“I think i’d like that, very much”
Soon there after the afternoon was lost to several hours of trying on new accessories with the two boy’s dresses, all giggling cheerfully as their friendship began to strongly bond and the three girls of the factory were beginning their new lives ever connected with each other.
