== Plot ==
Ash (now Ashley) is out at the mall trying out life as her female self for a bit. While still in denial and hesitant to admit how comfortable she feels like this Ashley decides to go shopping for women's cloths since all she has at the moment are her male cloths that make her look like a tom boy. Ashely goes to a boutique and tries on several outfits included dresses and nighties she finds very pretty and comfortable. After she selects a few outfits to buy she spots Gwen with her Non-Blood friend Skyler. Hoping to have a little fun, Ashely suppresses her mana mark so Gwen can't sense who she is and goes over to talk to her. Despite her attempts to hide the truth Gwen quickly discovers who Ashly really is thanks to her recognizable red hair and purple eyes added on to their talk earlier that day. Ashley gets defensive and is a bit embarrassed, but Gwen is kind and accepting of her experimenting a bit. The pair communicate telepathically while Skyler is in the changing room as she has no knowledge of magic. Gwen playfully makes jokes to Ashley about how she's clearly enjoying being a girl more than she is admitting but Ashley is still too embarrassed to admit she's right. Skyler exits the dressing room and Gwen introduces Ashely as another friend. Skyler remembers Ash from when he and Gwen dated and finds it ironic, she has another friend who is also a red head with a similar name. Gwen then invites Ashely to join them to get some food as they continue their day out. Ashely accepts but is still a bit hesitant.
