After dinner, the delicious sausages with mashed potatoes, gravy and vegetables, the rest had cheesecake which is not my favourite pudding and besides I’d eaten enough, I excused myself and went to see if the ‘dormouse caller’ had left me an email or other missive.
Danny came along a few minutes later while I was reading the anticipated note. “Have I done the wrong thing?” he asked perching on the edge of my desk.
“What in eating five sausages and two platefuls of cheesecake?” I joked.
“No, six sausages and three cheesecakes.”
“You deserve to go bang.”
He gave a tremendous burp and I glared at him, not for burping but for not attempting to quieten it. “Sorry,” he said avoiding eye contact.
“I thought we had a lion in the house for a moment.”
“It was a bit loud,” he admitted.
“Look, I don’t care if you do that in front of your football team or whatever, but please don’t do it in front of me or other women. It isn’t clever, just crude.”
“Okay, I said I was sorry.”
“And I accepted your apology, I was just setting some ground rules.”
“I thought you were getting at me.”
“No, if I were getting at you, you’d be much more aware of it.”
“Oh.”
“Now, what did you do wrong?”
“Inviting Peter.”
“You didn’t do wrong, but depending upon a number of things, it might not have been the wisest thing you’ve done.”
“Yeah, thinkin’ about it, it probably wasn’t. Shall I tell him he can’t come?”
“No, if you invited him you must honour that invitation. Now what was that about makeup?”
“When he’s doing his girly bit, he’s got no idea–he looks like a–a drag queen on steroids.”
“Um–an interesting concept–d’you mean like a pantomime dame?”
“Yeah, the ugly sort.”
“I see,” I said but I didn’t really. “So how d’you expect us to help him?”
“Well he seems to be dressing up more and more.”
“That’s between him and his parents.”
“Yeah, but if he’s gonna do it, I’d prefer he did it properly, like a girl would. I mean even Trish and Livvie have more idea than he does.”
“They’ve been doing it longer and have the advantage of being shown what to do by others, like Julie and Sammi and even Auntie Stella.”
“You usually look alright.”
“Thank you, I think.”
He smirked.
“But I’m far more conservative than the girls are, being that much older, so if I showed him, he’d probably look like his mother.”
“That would be better than he looked this morning.”
“Why don’t you invite him over one evening and ask Julie or Sammi to give him a makeover?”
“Hey, that’s a great idea.”
“Just be aware Julie is a bit tired so she might bite your head off.”
“I will, an’ thanks, Mum.”
“Dan.”
“Yes, Mum?”
“You’re aware that he’s going to need a couple of posh frocks if he stays en femme while he’s with us.”
“What for?”
“We’re having a dance and there’s going to be a summer ball at a neighbour’s house.”
“If I tell him, that might put him off.”
“Try not to do that unless he really doesn’t want to come. We’ve got to organise a dress for Cindy as well, oh and you’ll be wearing a kilt to the ball.”
“Yeah yeah–what?”
“A kilt, you’ll be wearing one.”
“No way, Jose, I’ll stay home.”
“I’m afraid not. Daddy will be wearing one.”
“No–I don’t want to wear one.”
“Well if you want to wear a dress you’ll have to come with is tomorrow for a fitting.”
“Ha ha, very funny.”
“I expect you make a prettier girl than Peter.”
“Yeah, so what?” Then he blushed and left. I wasn’t sure what he was up to when he went to see his friend.
I replied to the email, it was about dormouse numbers being very poor this year in all the survey areas. It was extremely worrying and I assumed due to the bad winter and cold spring. I went back to my report–the one I was writing for the board meeting, which is tomorrow–yeah, great fun.
Julie came in to see me as I was checking through it. “Danny’s just asked me to do a makeover on his friend.”
“Yes, I suggested it.”
“Why?”
“Why not?”
“Well, he’s strange–you know having chopped his–you know?”
“Yes, he removed his penis and testicles–not the cleverest thing to do, but he has to live with it on a daily basis, we only have to deal with him occasionally.”
“But, he’s not a girl is he?”
“Does that matter? I’m sure if some bloke phoned up to say he was going to a fancy dress party and could you make him look like a girl, you would.”
“Yeah but that’s business not some weirdo teenage mutant turtle.”
“That’s a bit of an exaggeration, he’s terrapin.”
“Very good,” she laughed, “but he still creeps me out.”
“Why?”
“I dunno, just thinking he’s got nothing in his panties.”
“Neither have you or I.”
“Yes we have, we’ve got clits and fannies.”
“Artificial ones.”
“Yeah, but they work.”
“Look, I don’t know what Peter is doing, whether he’s playing with gender roles, or just trying to avoid admitting he’s gay or a martian for all I know. However, I do know he suffered very badly after the attack that Danny also suffered and he’s still suffering. I thought if you could show him what to do to look a bit more girlish than he does, that would be much appreciated.”
“Bring him down the salon when we finish tomorrow, we’ll do his hair and his makeup just make sure he’s dressed like a girl, not some sort of weirdo.”
“Tell Danny, I’m in London tomorrow with Daddy.”
“Oh, course you are. Alright, but if either of them messes me about, they’ll regret it.” She went off to speak with her brother who worshipped the ground she walked on–most of the time–occasionally they had the odd spat but it was usually short lived.
I’d just finished checking through my report and was printing off several copies when Danny returned. “Julie’s gonna like do it tomorrow.”
“Do what?”
“Peter’s makeover at her salon–innit great?”
“That depends upon how much he learns from the process–are you going to have one too?”
“What a makeover?”
“Yeah.”
“I’m a boy.”
“So, you had the remains of eyeliner on when you came in–in fact you still have.”
He blushed, “I was just trying to show him what to do.”
“Were you in skirts as well?”
He went scarlet and tears began to form.
I got up and shut the door, then put my arm round him. “Look, wearing a bit of makeup or even a dress doesn’t make you any less a boy.”
“Course it does–they think I’m queer now.”
“Because of the attack?”
“That and Peter.”
“I see. So if that was the case, why did you dress up?”
“I dunno–he sort of talks me into it.”
“Danny, it isn’t the sort of thing your average boy gets talked into, so what happened?”
“It was like this...”

How many confessions to mother begin
“It was like this...†I bet it's something he could never tell his dad.

Oh Dear
A very excellent chapter though a bit concerning at the end. We look forward to the next episode.

Will Danny go with Peter?
I think he might, but not crossdressed. Peter needs a lot of moral support right now, and so far Danny is trying to help, even applying makeup and wearing a dress when he is at Peter's. Other than helping Peter as he can, I don't see Danny becoming a serious crossdresser.
Don't let someone else talk you out of your dreams. How can we have dreams come true, if we have no dreams?

Being 'persuaded'
I suppose there are many different mechanisms that can be used to persuade or coerce a boy into cross-dressing. I'll not go further with this.
Danny's obviously still got issues surrounding the assault in France and his friendship with Peter is still seemingly strong. That friendship is probably the powerful emotional conveyance that enables Peter to influence Danny as Danny subconsciously searches for a suitable relationship that will enable the continuance of their friendship. There's no way of knowing which way this friendship will develop but both the children are going to need a lot of support in resolving the nature of that relationship. Danny at least should get some sound support from his parents because of the very nature of Cathy's background and Simons acceptance of it. Peter will possibly need a lot more professional support outside of his/her family unless hir parents also come to terms with hir condition.
(P.S. I hope nobody objects to my using the new TG possessive pronoun 'hir' to refer to Pete')
Interesting chapter but I brushed quickly over the 'persuasive elements' involved in Peter's cross dressing influences on Danny cos' it's hard to reconcile such imagery with my own adolescent circumstances.
Still lovin' it despite the issues it raised for me.

Bevs.
Several things in play here
Peters attempt to find who he is
Danny's support, or is he also on a journey?
Simons response if there IS something different in Danny? the last male, his only "son", what will he think and do if that changes?
Kids experimenting is normal, but not usually at Dannys age, do they (since my childhood was anything BUT normal in most senses of the word, i couldnt properly judge)? especially with his background and upbringing? he has always been very anti being a girl, so what is going on? is it just support or more? is he still not sure about his feelings and physical responses to his assault? (again, i cant judge, my circumstances were very different when it happened to me) Also if i recall, it was peter's comments that brought on the attack, so it might be why Peter is having such a harder time with it, feeling the guilt of bringing it on himself AND his best friend? Was Danny's avoiding him a way to avoid thinking about it, and a way to try and distance himself from him so the bullying might be reduced/stopped at school? then there is Danny's interest in Cindy, while very much a girl, still "boy" in physicality, is it way for him to feel better about how he feels?
ok i say we lock up the catnip next time the feline perpetrators leave us hanging like this again.

PS as usual great story Angharad.

That was
certainly a cliffhanger .... But in a different way to what we are used to seeing.... Not quite sure what to make of Danny cross dressing , Although you would have to say that nothing so far that we know about him suggests that its anything more than Peter being very persuasive.... However it will be interesting to find out just what did did happen between the two friends, Maybe we are about to discover a side to Danny that we did not suspect... What ever the outcome though we can be sure that Cathy will support her son, Wherever it might lead...
Kirri
Oh, my...
Peer pressure can do a lot of things.
Wonder where things will end up with all this. Julie's a "trooper" being willing to take this on.
Thanks,
Annette
Funny,
Everyone keeps referring to Peter in the male pronoun. If she keeps this up they are going to have to accept that she has truly transitioned. It is something I am very sensitive to.
