***Danny………..
He blinked.
Looked at Lindsey and blinked again.
Still want to borrow a dress?
A dress…
His mouth went dry and he looked over towards Andy who was still lending a hand by carrying bags of garbage and there were sort of a million little thoughts but not thoughts running around in his head but two sort of kept flashing like they’ve been set on a loop in his head.
Yes he wanted to go out with Andy.
And he might feel less awkward if he actually was wearing a dress.
He looked back at Lindsey. “You think I could pass?”
She nodded and shrugged. “Hey if I can pass then you can pass.”
He looked around and it was still one of these very scary Danny ideas, one of those damned things that stuck in his head and made him wonder.
What if, what if, what if…
He turned back to Lindsey and nodded. “Okay.”
***Lindsey………..
She nodded too and took his hand in hers and Lindsey went over too Andy. “Danny and I need some time can you give us a lift over to my house and then come back in an hour and a half?”
He blinked. “An hour and a half?”
“Dude there’s more to putting on a dress than putting on a dress. And we’ll be going doubles.”
Andy blinked and nodded but he was really looking at Danny who had the oddest feeling of getting dressed by someone’s eyes?
At the same time Danny was choosing to sort of be flattered over freaked out, Andy was looking forward to this so that kind of said things right?
Andy led the way to his car and he opened the doors for them and Lindsey motioned Penn over and gave her a card with her number on it. “We’ll be about an hour and a half getting ready you can come and pick me up or meet me there?”
Penn nodded. “Good, okay then I can get changed.”
Lindsey nodded. “Actually kind like the look you’re sporting now…I mean if I was going to be like looking and stuff.”
“Yeah…okay.”
Penn left with an odd look and Lindsey watched her go. She was hoping that this favor that she was asking didn’t cross any lines. Well she thought it might but she was still so unsure of the whole being with and around people kind of thing.
Andy spared no time in getting them to her place either very decent driving and a very fast car. Lindsey smiled a little for Danny because as much as she didn’t fit in with things Andy was excited.
He was a big guy with a past too…maybe excited could be worth some caution? Then again she really didn’t like to judge.
She’d been judged enough.
They actually had the apartment mostly to themselves with her sisters out and everyone else still at the BBQ. “Okay first thing’s first shower and use my razor.”
“Razor? I’m shaving my legs?”
“If you’re going bare legged but I’d suggest your pits at least unless you want that eastern European look.”
“Uhm…no, this is challenging enough without extra stuff to mess things up.”
“Right, I’m going to plunder and pillage while you do that and shampoo and condition while you’re there.”
Danny nodded and he headed into the bathroom and Lindsey turned on some music on her stereo just so they we’re both doing this in the whole awkward silence thing.
She went through her sister Becky’s room since Becky was the closest in size to Danny in height and size. She still had a good twenty plus pounds on Danny mostly in boob but still. Danny could wear her skinny girl underwear she was looking for a dress or dresses and tights.
She cocked her head at this. “Ow!”
“Danny you okay?”
“Cut myself again!”
“Bleeding bad?”
“No but…”
“But?”
“Who the hell thought a flat stubby handle was a good idea with blades attached?”
“The same raging dick that thought heels were a good idea?”
“Oh yeah now that you mention it, no heels please. I don’t want to add that to the list.”
“Ha! This is me you’re talking to. I’m the queen of flat soled footwear in this house.”
She brought several choices in with her and hoped they could make do and went and got a set of panties and a bra for Danny. Lindsey went with regular cotton this would be odd enough without it getting weird.
She stuck her head in the bathroom after knocking. “Here’s some bra and panties and a set of my first inserts.”
“Inserts?”
“Silicone bra stuffers.”
“Oh…I didn’t thing you had them.”
“Hey bud, just because I’m not like one with the force on being a girl doesn’t mean I didn’t try. Don’t try.”
Danny peeked his head out with that Danny grin. “You’re wearing some now aren’t you?”
“Yes, and I’m likely going to be a member of the IBTC all my life.”
“IBTC?”
“Itty Bitty Tittie Committee.”
Danny snerked and burst out laughing and was gone with a slip and a yell as he fell in the tub.
“Danny?”
(Snaughling.) “Yeah…”
“Never mind, you’re fine.”
“No proof I’ve never been diagnosed!”
“Get finished and get out of there.”
***Danny…………
He got out and dried off and that felt different, not TG story different but it just was different to dry where you’re used to having hair.
He took the panties first.
Other than seeing his mom’s these were the closest he ever been too. White cotton with some kind of almost like a china plate kind of floral pattern to them. He slid into them and it really was odd. They hugged his butt oddly and there was so much less material than he was used to and the front was okay. The biggest thing was actually the elastic there was a lot less elastic than his own jockey’s provided.
And the fact that other than all of those things he really didn’t get the arousal boner. The bra was hard as heck to put on until he remembered the whole fasten it around your waist thing then spin it around and pull it up thing he’d read about.
The falsies felt really weird in his hand but he slid them in and adjusted them in the mirror a few times…
“Whoa…” It finally caught up to him. The blue haired geeky girl looking back at him in the mirror wearing white with sort of pink flowery things.
She wasn’t a raving beauty but cute, cute was something Danny thought she could claim. She did mentally flip her pronouns at that point. Thinking that it might be the way to go.
“You decent?” Lindsey called from the hall.
“No, never but I’m wearing underwear.”
“Funny coming out?”
“Just maybe.”
“What?”
Danny bit her lip and went out into the hall and looked at Lindsey. They wanted to see the look on Lindsey’s face because Danny could hardly believe it herself.
Lindsey blinked and looked Danny up and down and then actually pursed her lips.
Okay that made Danny blink. “What am I wearing something backwards?”
“No, but I think you just might have a better ass than me.”
“G’wan yer joking right?”
“No, I’m not you’re small but you’re actually pretty well proportioned.”
“Oh that’s a good thing right?”
“Yeah compared to being a stick girl it is.”
Danny looked Lindsey over and shook her head. “You’re lithe, slender like a dancer and you have legs for miles.”
Lindsey snorted and chuckled. “And that would be great if I had any kind of rhythmic ability at all as it is I don’t.”
Danny grinned and slipped her hands behind her back. “Yeah lemme guess you do random checks to see if gravity is still working?”
Lindsey looked at Danny that looked very natural for them to be doing that pose. “Yeah and then there’s the house hold conspiracy.” She gestured for Danny to go to her room in an after you kind of way.
She shook her head, she was pretty sure that Danny had a nicer bum than she did.
“House hold conspiracy?” Danny asked as they went into Lindsey’s room.
“Y’know the doors are bullies, the rugs keep trying to trip me and all the tables and corners in the house are out to abuse me.”
Danny laughed. “You’re not that much of a klutz.” They reached out and took Lindsey by the hand and pulled her close and started to dance. “See, you have really nice rhythm.”
Lindsey smiled down at Danny. “Why have all of my dancing partners pretty much been cute girls?”
Danny blushed and ducked their head and smiled when they looked back up. “Am I really pretty?”
Lindsey rolled her eyes and shoved Danny on the bed. “Yes, you’re cute for a girl and all that stuff like I said I’m not the best judge.” She pointed at Danny who was grinning that Danny grin from ear to ear. “You’re too good at that.”
“I’m a role player.”
“Yeah, a good one.”
Danny nodded. “Actually yes.”
Lindsey looked at Danny. “And you’re grinning?”
“Because I got in you panties and you just threw me down on your bed.” Danny did this waggling of their eyebrows which looked even goofier than usual on them dressed like this.
Lindsey snickered a bit but covered her mouth and gave him the finger at the same time.
“And now with the non-verbal come ons.”
She grabbed a pillow and whacked Danny with it. “Wench.”
Danny grabbed one back and they started to whack at each other and laugh.
*(ten minutes later.)
Danny was panting and on the bed beside Lindsey. “My first few moments as a girl and I’m in a pillow fight.”
Lindsey panted too and looked over. “Hey you deserved a smack I just wasn’t thinking you’d hit back.”
Danny cupped the bra. “Hey when in Rome right?”
She looked over at Danny. “Yeah…okay time’s a wasting seriously we need to get you dressed.”
“And you too.”
“Oh hell no.”
Danny crossed her arms. “Penn’s going to change and she’s doing us a favor, doing you a favor even if it’s still for me the least you can do is look like you put some effort into it.”
Lindsey sighed. “Okay, okay cripes the third time I got changed today yeesh.”
They both got up and first went through the dresses until they found a sort of grey cotton one that was like a sweater with the high collar and long sleeves but was very forgiving on the body and came down to about two inches or so above Danny’s knees. Lindsey actually owned it but she didn’t wear it because of her flatness and the fact on her it rode a lot higher.
They paired it with a belt and then a long flowing gauzy scarf of her mom’s to cover the belt. All of that was Danny’s idea.
Shoes were simple flats in a blue that sort of went with Danny’s hair.
Danny looked at Lindsey. “Your turn okay.”
“Fine…hey I have make-up in the drawer over there if you want to use some most of it’s never been opened.”
“Uhm okay.” Danny opened several of the drawers until he found the said drawer full of make-up. They shook their head at just how much there was just sort of dumped in there like the junk drawer that they had back home.
She started going through things and about six items in she went and took this empty ice cream container she really didn’t bother asking why Lindsey had one since Danny had several in her room and one was just for six sided dice. She took it over as there was a lot of this stuff expired. Even if it was unopened it was still expired and she placed them inside not knowing if make-up expired if it was never used but she was separating it all just in case.
Danny actually had some idea of how to do some of this stuff sort of and she went with lip-gloss instead of lipstick and used just a little dollop of this liquid foundation and really, really blended it in almost to where she might have rubbed it out. It did kind of make a difference, there was this much more clearer look to the way that their face looked.
They grinned falling into character and really trying to LARP out being Danny as a girl or Danni actually helped. It helped with the nerves and the feelings and it was actually a steadying way to handle all of this.
Dan took a breath though and just looked around.
“I’m actually doing this, trying this…I never thought that I’d ever…and here I am Tilting in my own thing.”
***Andy…………
He went and he gassed up the car after dropping Danny off with the tall skinny lesbian girl and he didn’t really have the time to go home but he had some things in his car and he went to one of the bigger gas stations and took the car through the wash first and getting a wax and stuff before gassing up and then he went inside the store part of the gas station and he went over the car at the vacuum station and then used some Febreeze on the inside and some Armor-all for the other parts and even went so far as to Windex the inside of the windows of the car.
Actually it was one of his personal pet peeves. You’re not washing your car windows unless you did both sides.
No he wasn’t really a car fanatic but this was Chicago and here in the Mid-West there was an element of car culture and muscle car culture that never really went away.
He was nervous as heck though because he had never ever really thought of himself as gay. And Danny actually being his first crush and a boy had been so hard on the head and then there was the other night when they met up again after everything and the weird but oh so hot spark of connection that they had there was just…just so.
He’d turned Danny on and while he was so much bigger than Danny he wanted to do things…it still felt like Danny was one of those other kind of girl like his aunt or that Johnny but he was so, so tempted and the gay thing so didn’t matter at all with that.
And now Danny and he were going on a date.
Okay it was a double date but that was okay since he was still all kinds of nervous.
He got back in the car and drove back to the building that he had dropped Danny off at and he waited and it felt like a really long time too as he watched the clock and listened to the radio and then saw the lights of another car pulling up and it was the other lesbian girl in a beat up old Ford Escort. She got out and she smoothed down her skirt and got a purse and her jacket before locking up the car and heading over to his.
He rolled down the window. “Hey.”
She nodded taking out some gum and offered him some. He shook his head no. “Hey.” She said back.
“I’m Andy.”
“I’m Penn.”
“Penn?”
“Short for Penelope.”
He winced and she nodded, Andy grinned. “Penn it is.”
“Thanks, they’re not done yet?”
He shrugged. “Never rush a girl or girls getting ready it’s usually worth the wait.”
She nodded. “Definitely in some cases.”
Okay he lived a pretty different life from a lot of other kids when you looked at his aunt and stuff but it was really the first time he sat around sort of talking to a girl about girls in the same kind of way. He saw movement on the stairs and got out of his car and he saw the lesbian girl the tall skinny one in a skirt and a short sleeved blouse that actually sort of made her chest a bit more noticeable in this small busted yet perky way and the skirt was showing a lot of those really long legs.
Penn was definitely taking notice.
Yeah that was more than odd.
Then he saw Danny.
Oh…oh wow.
Danny had cute even like he usually was in spades but dressed like this it was shining through and she…he…looked amazing actually or he thought so. And the way Danny kept smoothing down the skirt part of the dress was just more that cute.
Short and cute with that blue hair looking all girly and tousled and the glasses just made him take on of those wow breaths.
He went over with Penn and he looked at Danny. “Wow, you look great.”
Danny smiled at him. “Really not like some drag queen?”
“Nope, never you’re actually damned pretty.”
Danny smiled and blushed and sort of moved just like a girl but he knew it was Danny and he couldn’t help but feel the stirrings of a physical reaction with all of that. “Thanks Andy I’m still scared as hell.”
Andy bit his lip. “Someplace low key then?”
“Sure like?”
“The movies? We can catch the nine o’clock show.”
Danny looked at the two lesbian girls. Penn nodded. “Movies seem cool by me I don’t really get to go to the theater all that much.”
The other girl nodded. “Me either and it’s pretty low key and everything.”
They all sort of nodded agreement and Andy actually opened the door and folded down the front seats and he helped all the girls into the car. The leggy one said thank you and so did Penn with this wry sort of this was strange for her expression on her face.
Danny he helped into the shotgun seat and then he got in and headed for the usual Cineplex place that he went too. He drove carefully with the girls in the car and he didn’t bother showing off the car’s engine or any of the macho guy stuff that he knew a lot of guys his age did. He even found dropped the girls off at the doors after helping them out of the car. “I’ll go park you girls wait here where it’s warmer okay?”
Danny nodded and smiled for him, it felt like for him.
“Thanks Andy that’s sweet.”
He blushed and nodded. “I’ll be back shortly okay?”
Danny nodded and he went and parked as the three girls went inside.
Andy couldn’t help but smile as he parked and locked up his car. He might be like making this more than what it was but just trying to be the thoughtful date Danny had thanked him and complimented him for it and that was more than most of the dates that he’d been on.
It actually felt kind of nice.
Not that he was one of though praise me guys but this was nice because it was out of the normal. Well so was hanging around a pair of lesbians too and doing gentlemanly stuff for them while he was doing the same for Danny.
Well he wasn’t going to be an ass about that he was pretty sure that it was a good idea if he did for one he should do for all of them with the good guy manners and stuff.
He went inside and looked at the girls there standing together and checking out the movie titles and Danny with this big smile on her face.
They decided on *How to train your Dragon.* and while he wasn’t a cartoon guy Danny was definitely into seeing it more than some of the other stuff that was playing. He went and got tickets stepping up with that Lindsey girl who had surprised Penn by doing that.
They even paid for the popcorn and the treats and he looked at Lindsey who had an odd look on her face. “You okay?”
“Yeah, no…broke or close to it.”
“I could have gotten this.” He said as he got the popcorn and sodas for him and Danny.
“No…I asked her out and it’s only fair but it’s just wow.”
“Welcome to the usual guy side of a date.”
She took her stuff and Penn’s and looked at Penn and Danny. “Okay I’m not used to any of this and technically it’s my first date and stuff but are you supposed to feel that good when she looks at you with the surprised kind of ‘oh’ thing going on?”
Andy smiled. “Actually yeah, and given that it’s this weird for both of us how about we just go for it before we overthink things too much and spoil the time for our dates.”
Lindsey nodded but still had that look like her brain was going at full tilt.
He gave her a light nudge. “C’mon we still have time for the girls to pick out some good seats.”
And it went just kind of like that he and Lindsey followed carrying the goodies while they found the theater the show was playing in and they let Danny and penn find and pick the seats and he could only smile at penn having that same kind of look on her face that Lindsey had on hers.
He sat down and he offered Danny some popcorn and she took it…he took it. “Thanks, this is really nice y’know.”
“Well…uhm it is a date.”
Danny blinked with this like oh…yeah expression on their face. “Yeah it is isn’t it?”
“I kind of want it to be.”
Danny stared at him really intently and he kind of felt himself falling into that middle school crush all over again but even more than that and she…he…Danny nodded. “I do too Andy…I do too.”
Then of course the movie started to play and Andy bit his lip some thinking that he had really wanted to kiss them about then.
Comments
that was just
so Danny, " I got in your panties and you just threw me down on your bed". I can so see these two dating also, the chemistry is there too.
great chapter, thanks
Thought that was cute too
But do you date someone who you're sharing clothes and makeup with? I suppose so. After all this is Squires and pretty much any combination is just fine.
Heck,Yes!
Share and date: Fun, fun, fun, till your daddy takes the T-Bird away!
Maren
Danny...
Sounds like someone has some serious thinking to do about where it goes from here.
Wow, more Squires and more Jem
How am I going to get anything done tonight but read?
Thanks!!!!
Fun and mixed up
and so much like growing up. They all have no idea of where they're going. Life after all is a work in progress. I agree about Danny and Lindsay. At the very least they're going to stay friends and maybe more. Penn and Andy are also interesting.
hugs

I don't think that I have smiled that much in a long time.
This was so really nice! I'm still smiling even as I type this. You made my day Bailey.
Thank you very, very much.

oh .... wow ....
I'm .... oh ... wow ...
....
wow.
...
Did I say wow, yet?
Have to smile a bit about Andy thinking of
Lindsey as "that tall skinny lesbian girl" since Lindsey's sexuality isn't even close to determined. Of course in this novel, things are pretty fluid for quite a few of the main characters. That's part of what makes it so sweet. Kids experimenting and finding their way in a supportive group. Sad that the rest of the world isn't as supportive.
Nice one Bailey dear!
I'm thinking the're all experiencing many things for a first time! Danni might actually like being "the girl"! Even Penn seems to like it too! Thank you sweetie for writing more on this one. Loving Hugs Talia
Double dates
It looks as though all four of them are heading into the proverbial uncharted waters - not just with the dating but with sexuality and (currently in Danni/y's case) gender identity.
Sneaky thought: I wonder if by the end of the series, anyone will have persuaded Danny to cosplay Ami Mizuno? :)
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
Thank you, Bailey,
It's always fun to see what the kids are up to! This is my favorite story by a small margin: Though I haven't run int a clinker yet. I don't expect many younger readers know about clinkers, but it was once common usage.
This story reminds me of The X-Men: Jesse and the mutants trying to protect themselves and each other while gaining acceptance and changing society.
On a less intellectual plain, it's one hell of a good adventure and coming of age story, and I'm enjoying every word of it.

Squires
All of these kids are so sweet, I love them all. Especially Danny. And I agree, whether he and Lindsay end up going steady or not, I think they'll at least become really close friends. But it's awesome that she helped him get girlified for his date with Andy, despite her own lack of overt girliness. I think it's good that Danny's open to exploring his femme side, as well as his bisexual attraction to Andy. I'm curious how things will go with Lindsay and Penn too, for that matter. :)
While I love this story and more is better, I like the smaller format, focusing on one or a few related characters, instead of bouncing around between 20 characters per posting. I hope this does mean more frequent chapters, though.
*huge hugs*
Dani
cute
Cute chapter, love the story as usual.

Broken Irish is better than clever English.
Self image
This is another chapter, showing they all have things to work through.
Boy girl first dates can be nerve wracking, hoping to make a good impression. But when it's a first date where "normal date" doesn't apply, it can get down right scary.
What will others think? What if others from school see us? What if someone takes exception to the couple? And what if someone starts something?
All of the fear stems from a need to develop a better self image, something hard to do when others have battered what self image they have. It takes time to get to the point no one's opinions matter. Where a person is very comfortable in their "own skin."
Others have feelings too.
