I'll log the session and clean it up, then post it as a DVD Special Feature for FTS! Go [ here ] for more information. Here's Part 20, the Final Chapter, enjoy!!
“... and that's the meat of the story, doctor. It all happened at the beginning of this summer. Turns out that the Robin Masters, author, magician, female illusionist guy really is my biological father. He didn't want to uproot me, though, and has given Guardianship to Matt Tomkins. He started sending these amazingly huge checks though, to help out with money. That's how we're able to afford for me to come see you. We filled that prescription you gave me last week, and I thought about things. I can deal with being the smallest guy in high school. At least, with this medicine, I won't have to deal with, um, breasts developing or a period starting. And you said when I'm eighteen, I can start the hormones that'll let me be boy, instead.”
“Hm? Yeah, I think things worked out amazingly well. When I think about having to go with that Ugg guy? Ack. Scary thought. I know he would have tried to make me be this idealized daughter he had in his head. I would have been one of those runaway street kids you hear about.”
“Emily's been awesome about the whole thing.”
“Ew! No way! Even if I didn't like other guys, she's like... my sister or something!”
“Yes, that's what I said. I'm pretty sure I'm gay. And yes, I know I'll likely get my ass kicked more than a few times if I come out at school, being as small as I am. That's okay, I'm not ready to come out.”
“Yup! That's right, Robin — that's what he prefers I call him, which is good because calling him 'Dad' when he looks pretty much identical to Drew Barrymore is just... well, creepy. Anyway, Robin is gonna fly all five of us out to Maui to spend the entire Summer next year! Talk about awesome plans for vacation!”
“Yep. Matt and Emily because they're kinda like family to me, and Katarina and Devin just because I wanted to invite them for being so awesome.”
“It is kind of weird to find out all these horrible things about Mom, though. I mean, she married that asshole because apparently her parents forced her to do it, then she cheated on him with a guy that looks more female than half the women in this town, then lied to Ugg about who my father was, then kidnapped me from Ugg when she didn't get custody.”
“Hm? No, I read in her diary, she didn't force me to be a boy. I wouldn't wear dresses or anything. Wanted my hair cut like 'other boys' and stuff. So, yeah, I guess even at two years old I knew who I was for real on the inside.”
“Well, the lawyer guy, Carter Mortimer? He managed to sell it and the car, and put the money in a trust fund for me. There's a new family moving in there this coming weekend, actually. I think their name is Wilson.”
