Lance sees a makeover offer at a costume shop that he couldn't pass up. Unfortunately, he didn't have the money to pay for it, but the store owner was willing to make a deal.

Lance walked into the shop right after school and headed straight for the counter. Behind the counter, he found not just Ms. Gilbert, but her daughter Hanna too. Whispering he … she said, “Lily reporting for duty.”

“Excellent!” Granny said before quickly directing the boyish girl to the backroom. But not before putting the school bag behind the counter. She didn’t even wait for the hidden girl to strip himself, Before he could blink his t-shirt and sweatshirt were cast off.

The little girl tried to help undress herself but Granny was on a mission. After taking an offered chair, his socks and shoes were soon removed. Last to go was his jeans. The older lady stopped at the sight that was before her. Her granddaughter was standing in front of her wearing nothing but the pink panties from yesterday. “You are a daring little girl, I sure hope you didn’t have PE today,” she mentioned.

“I did, and it was extremely hard to hide them. These are a lot softer, and they just feel right for some reason,” Lily answered.

“Well step out of them, and let's get a clean pair on you,” was the reply.

After the pink pair was switched for a lilac pair, the girl sat down as she was requested. She soon found herself being dressed in a white pair of dance tights, and black one-inch heels. After standing Granny pulled the tights up so they covered the little girl's bottom. After raising her arms, a pile of fluff dropped over her head.

“What is this?” Lily asked.

“A petticoat, it will make your dress stand out,” Granny said before dropping another petticoat over the little girl's head.

“My dress!” The little girl thought excitingly about this prospect. Lily was soon twisting left and right to settle the petticoats like she was instructed to do.

A strangely familiar colored dress was soon dropped over her head. The no-longer-hidden girl just couldn’t place her finger on why this was familiar as Granny did the rear zipper, and fumbled with something at the back of her neck. The well-feminized boy studied the security camera monitor above her head for the correct section which showed her. She was hoping looking at herself from the camera perspective would give her a clue of what she was.

A white apron was next to go on to her, which caused the light bulb to go off. She was wearing the Alice costume she had dreamed of wearing countless times. After the sash was tied in the back, a blonde wig was fastened into her existing blonde hair. After a black hair band was placed on her head, the costumed girl was escorted out of the back room. Lily found it different to walk in heels, she was so used to walking with her flat shoes. She wouldn’t say it was difficult, just different.

“Thank you Hanna for watching the counter,” Grandma mentioned before offering Alice a stool. The adopted granddaughter soon found her lips being painted, before something the older lady called Blush was applied to her cheeks. Last she was told to blink while a brush was held in front of each of her eyes. Granny had called it Mascara. While padding her poofy bum, the costumed girl was suggested to look at herself in the mirror.

Lily looked at her reflection. It was a look she had dreamed about a lot of times but never expected to see. She looked for evidence of Lance but found nothing, nope this was definitely a girl looking back at her.

Once back at her stool next to Granny, she was given her instructions for the day. Granny told her, “I would like you to fold these pamphlets on the dotted lines. You also have your schoolwork to do, which should keep you busy for an hour or two.”

She glanced at the unfolded stack of pamphlets and noticed they were advertisements for the costume shop. While she was folding the first few she took the chance to glance at the monitor in front of her that was showing the cameras. The little girl noticed that there were five rows of four on the monitor, and it appeared to be identical to the one in the back room.

The first five seemed to cover the store from each of the four corners and the center of the store. The next one peered down right in front of the two changing rooms. The next four showed outside, both the front and the back. Next two peered at the counter from the front and the back. The facepaint area and measurement slash mirror area got the same treatment. There were two more that showed the back room. None of that really surprised her, it was the last two that surprised her. There were two that looked down one of the costume aisles. And only that costume aisle, none of the rest got the same treatment.

Her study got interrupted by all the people but Sammie from next door and her Mother walking into the shop. Trying not to get nervous, she watched Sammie turn into the girls’ aisle. Looking at the last two cameras she watched Sammie go right to where both of the girls’ sizes would be.

Yep, it appeared that those last two cameras were aimed right where the size ten costumes would be at. Almost like Granny or someone was trying to watch a daydreaming ten-year-old closeted girl. Shocked, she looked at the older lady sitting next to her and got rewarded with a knowing smile.

“I need to run to the back room for a bit, Lily. Hold down the fort,” Granny said before disappearing into the back.

Lily soon found Sammie and her Mother walking up to the counter. The neighbor girl was staring at Lily like she was trying to place where she knew the costumed girl. “My daughter would like to try this Cinderella costume on,” Mrs. Berger asked.

“Sure, Sammie can try that costume on,” Lily said before slapping her hands over her mouth. Sammie’s eyes had gone suddenly big, and the young girl was sure Lance was going to be outed.
