Mother knows about my relationship with Jackie and encourages mesometimes to be a little more feminine and now I understand why she'slooking at the gi...rl's costumes. She wants me to attend the function as agirl. I have never attended school dressed in girl's clothes, except forpanties, but I didn't think Mother knew about that.

'Almost, thank you Fiona,' Ryoko said and Fiona picked up a piece of paperfrom the dresser top. 'What's this, a magic show?' It was a flyer advertising the show and Ryokosilently cursed herself for.
