Scotty was tired, coming to the end of the school day. He didn’t want to walk home, so he agreed to ride with Tiffany and Barb. They drove to a new store out on the highway, Tully’s Shaping. It had huge posters announcing ‘Just for Young Women’. Barb and Tiffany bounce out of the car, and Scotty decides to wait for them. Tiff opens his side door, grabs his hand, and pulls, “We’re here for you, hurry.” Casey, a young saleswoman, smiles at the sight of him being dragged into the store.

Barb calmly asks, “What do you have to bring out the girl in him? He’s, Sienna.”

Casey quietly observes him as she brings a tip of her finger to her lips. “Seriously,” she asks. “Can I ask, Sienna. Can I correctly assume that you did your eyebrows and have worked your eyelashes?” Looking to the others, she says, “You girls go looking around. I'll talk to Sienna alone. Sorry, Sienna, what are you interested in?”

He said, “They were the ones wanting me to come.”

She smiles, “There’s a reason they’re asking me to help you?” She hands me a piece of material no more than 12” long. “Try this skirt and then we can talk.” She points to the changing rooms where he goes without a fuss.

He couldn’t tell if it was two layers thick; it felt so. He took off his pants to try it on. He realized the shoes and socks needed to come off. The material stretches snuggly over my body. When he went back out. Two girls were out there with their mother, who says, “Cute.” Sienna could have died.

He urged her not to touch his hair, but Casey quickly brushed his hair, and Sienna appeared. She takes him over to a mirror. “Now, that brings out the inner you?” Barb and Tiffany see him and giggle. He runs back to the changing room, but Tiff’s encouraging him, “Don’t shy away, it looks cute on you." To Casey, she’ll get it.”
Casey reaches to him, “Here, try this halter top and give me a peek to see it.”

Sienna quickly closed the door, saying no strongly. Sienna wanted to cry, “Why am I so vulnerable to them?” He knows the answer, he likes their attention, and how they helped the girl in him become visible.

Once he changed back, he took the skirt to Casey. “I like it, but I’m not ready for it today.”

Casey smiles and acknowledges what he said. Instead, she asks, “What do you think, would you like the look of this skirt with this blouse?”

“It’s a printed skirt that matches many of the colors of the blouse; it’s attractive.” Casey quickly holds up the red straps of the colorful top and a mint green skirt. There is no way he’d pick the mint green despite its catching his eye.

Casey says, “I’ll tell you what I saw: your eyes went to the pretty mint green shirt. I want you to be one of our customers today. “I’ll give the skirt as a gift if you’ll buy the top.”

Instead of saying no, Casey asks, “How much do you think it costs?”

With Sienna's voice, “I would pay, $19.95. I’m sure it is at least 29 dollars or more.”

Casey says, “Then for $19.95 it’s a deal.” She doesn’t look to him, but walks to the sales register.”

She neatly folds the two and signs Sienna into Tully’s Shaping membership card, ‘Just for Young Women’s' shopping bag. When he hesitates, Barb’s ready to pay for it, but he glares, “I’ll pay for it, despite not intending to buy anything. He used his card, and when Casey asked for his phone number and email, Scotty gave them so they could get going. “Thanks, Sienna; please know if I talked you into it or you don’t like it, and I’ll double your refund.” She gave him a wink. She had Sienna as a customer and charmed Scotty as well.

He waited as Barb and Tiff paid for their purchases, as well as the first skirt Sienna tried on. They made their way out to Barb’s car, but before they could drive away, He asked to see what they bought. They each bought an attractive skirt and blouse, saying they celebrated with me. He giggled as they paid more than he did. Barb had the last laugh as she held up the skirt they bought for him.

They were good to their word and drove him home. Scotty was surprised when Barb turned off her car. They were coming in with him and his mother at the door, asking, “Were you able to get done what you had hoped?” Mother then said, “Why don’t the three of you go and change into your purchases? Sienna, you can use Stacy’s room and show the girls which is Sheila’s, so they can change there.”

He went to his room as he didn’t trust the others not to sneak through the bathroom to see him. He realized he needed to wear his bra to make the top look good. He hears Tiffany ask, “Where are you, Sienna? I wondered if you have and extra pair of no-line panties?”

He called out, “You don’t ask a boy that!”

She said, “That's funny, I was just teasing, but I saw you were wearing a pair in the store.”

He hadn’t realized that the top had spaghetti straps. They looked and felt nice; he felt very girly wearing them. He opened his door to go out, but was pushed back by Tiff and Barb. “You are as pretty as we expected.”

Barb says, “And you’re trying to come out without any makeup on, as we expected.” She looks into his chest of drawers and then a side table to find his makeup kit. She didn’t take long; she changed his complexion with a brush of makeup, lip gloss, and mascara.

He saw in a mirror that his mother was standing behind me. “What would you put on her eyes to go with that blouse?”

“This is light green with the white highlight. The green is always there, just not often used,” says Barb, and she brushes it on.

He looked cute, got excited, and needed to run for the toilet. Fortunately, Sienna got there in time, but it took longer than usual for the boy to clean up and check everything. The lack of material wouldn’t have been very forgiving. Barb begins applauding as she is impressed by how well he looks.

Mom has footie nylons and a pair of Stacy’s shoes with a 2 ½” heel. It was enough as he walked downstairs that Sheila noticed the difference.

Sheila has a suitcase on rollers with her that Scotty had not seen before. She says, “You’re not supposed to know it, but your Daddy bought it for the weekend.”

He turns to his mother, “Mommy, this is getting too much.”

She smiles, “This is what happens when we pamper our girly boy.”

He hoped Barb and Tiffany would leave, but they sat in the living room. Mom says, “You sit and keep them company. I’ll get something refreshing for you girls.”

His legs are as snug as he can get them, and he’s holding the bottom of the skirt as he sits and sweeps the bottom of the skirt with his other hand, scared the skirt could have flown up.

Sheila’s back downstairs, “I put some panties, stockings, and things out on your bed to be packed. I’ll help you when you’re ready.” She stands over him, “You are so cute when you’re shy around your friends. Who picked out the new outfit? Mom told him, "The girls went to get you to buy an outfit.”

He mentions, “Tully’s Shaping, it’s a new store. Casey Hollings sold me the top and gave me the skirt to get me as a customer.”

Sheila teases, “You’re probably her first girly-boy.” She continues, “So are you getting excited about the pre-conference workshops?”

He says, “I barely knew about them.” Everyone’s talking, and he knows he’s supposed to be following their conversations, but he can’t keep up. Seemingly, he said yes to sleeping with the girls, and his mother said ‘no’. He knows he’ll be in the concealor, makeup, hair, feminizing/male-detox, and nail care workshops.

Barb, Tiffany, and Patti are to be here by 7:00 a.m.. Sheila now says she and not Stacy is going with Mom and him.

He’ll take a variety of clothes: dresses, some skirts, and blouses on hangers, while the rest fit nicely into his new suitcase.

He’s awakened at 5:30; Sheila insists he needs to shower, do his nails, and get made up for the day. “I’m going to be in all the workshops, it won’t make any difference?”

Mom says, “That might be right for some, but you need to make a good first impression. Now get your shower in, and let your sisters help you.” Sure enough, by the time he was out of the shower, Stacy and Sheila were both ready to pamper him. It's embarrassing for a younger brother to have his sisters help him dress as a girl.

Sheila insists that he has on a bra, panties, and a camisole before she begins to help with makeup. He tells her, “I’m more comfortable if I’m in girl mode. It is I who put on the first light coat of concealer.”

“There, his sister has begun,” says Sheila. “Let’s not go heavy as we’re not sure what might be coming off, or important in making an impression.”

He does as she suggested, and even how he dresses, not seeking to overcompensate. The others who are coming with them giggle when they see him. “Wow, we like how you’re presenting yourself. This will present a pretty boy to work with.” Patti wants his lips made up a little more with a plumper, and Barb adds a soft pink to his eyeshadow.

They entered the conference center, registered to get their suite of rooms, and then registered for the conference and workshops. Louise, a pageant official, took him, “Please, come with me, sweetie, we want to make sure you’re in the correct group.” His mom waits nearby, “One, we need assurance you are a boy, and two, that you are doing this freely by choice. Do you see yourself as a sissy, or being forced into this by your mother or for the notoriety of it all?”

He says, “I’m not a sissy, nor am I being forced; it’s just that my mother has taken to pampering me and I like it more than I thought. As a girl, I am attracting more girls as friends.” Louise seems pleased with how I see myself. “I’ve not practiced like many of the others. I might not do well, but I would like to see what it is like to be made even prettier and act more girl-like than I have been.”

She casually checked his panties and found his demure boyhood. “Sienna, that will be very pleasing both for your overall appearance as you bring out your feminine side. Each of you girls will become a unique blossom, no one quite like any of the others.” She gives him a loving hug.

He’s brought back to his mother, as Louise talks more to her; he enjoys overhearing, “That he sees himself as a pampered boy is quite cute and refreshing. I find her appearance disarming; she will be seen as very attractive. Even as a novice, I’ll not be surprised if she does well. It will be beneficial to put her through as many workshops, where she will gain experience doing what is being taught. Wearing heels and learning how to impress others will do her well.”

The first unit he’s to take, he thought, would be boring. How can they use an hour talking about using a concealer? While it is painstaking getting an application off, changing looks made each of the times he did it interesting. Scotty had three pictures to show his Mom, and with each application, he couldn’t believe the dramatic change.

While wearing a pretty gown is wonderful, learning to wear a short skirt or dress and maintain ladylike poise and discipline took more poise and discipline. Barb, Patti, and his mother took turns being the encourager and the taskmaster.
