Chapter 3: Me and My Mom

ME AND ME AGAIN

ME AND MY MOM

CHAPTER 3 OF THE FANON STORY

One day after school has ended, Izumi goes looking for Yuuki. She finds her in an almost empty classroom. A proposition is offered to Yuuki by Izumi. Want to go shopping with me for the rest of this afternoon ? Then just go, retorts Yuuki. But I want the both of us to go together. It's more fun that way, believe me. Well, begins Yuuki, I'm not doing anything right now, so maybe I'll go. Izumi is all 'rainbows and unicorns' ! Just then, Josei sticks his nose in the classroom, and hears the plans for the two friends. Being quite the nosey sort, he asks; Is this going to be a date ? **"NO, OF COURSE NOT !"**, barks back Yuuki. Continuing with his inane banter, Josei confidentially tells Yuuki that {he} needs to be aggressive on their 'first date' ! Yuuki counters with telling Josei that he needs to mind his own business. The squabble ends when Izumi grabs Yuuki's arm, and pulls her out the classroom door. Josei mockingly shouts after them to 'don't do anything that I wouldn't do' .... !

Still wearing their school uniforms, Yuuki the female sailor suit, Izumi the male uniform without the jacket, the two pause on a street corner downtown. So what are we buying today, inquires Yuuki ? Well, I haven't decided, replies Izumi, I guess we can just look for now. **Then what the hell are we going shopping for ?**, bellows out Yuuki ? Haven't you ever enjoyed going 'window shopping', offers Izumi ? No, No, continues Yuuki, you don't go shopping until you know what you want, then you go get it, and go home. That's that ! Nah, that is what a male would say, counters Izumi. "BUT I'M A GIRL ! REMEMBER ?", bites back Yuuki ! Then let's go shop *"Girl Style"*, replies Izumi.

Giving in, Yuuki asks where do we go first ? Thinking for a moment, Izumi points across the street to the womens and girls intimate apparel shoppe. Let's go in there ! No way, NO WAY, shouts Yuuki. But I want to look at some nice bras, pleads Izumi. Yuuki says that she doesn't want to look, because she already has bought a couple of patted bras. So she doesn't need to look for more today. And you are wearing them now, are you, inquires Izumi ? Who is asking, and why ? Are you really wearing a padded bra now, asks Izumi ? Let me see ! Izumi puts her hand on Yuuki's chest, with Yuuki going nuts. ***DON'T .... !***, warns Yuuki. "But you have somewhat noticeable boobs now, aren't you happy ?', confidently states Izumi.

A couple of hours later, the two are in the *Minamoon Café*. Yuuki has her head on the table, and is exhausted from the whirlwind shopping that she just went through. Although she did buy a four pack of girl's panties in the apparel shoppe, to help augment her collection of boy shorts. "Wasn't that fun ?", quips Izumi ! "You know, Izumi, you really are quite assertive !", observes Yuuki, "So why did you go all mushy and defenseless when you were inappropriately confronted by the perverted stranger the other day ?" Izumi responds that she guesses it was because of her Mom's influence; that girls, if they want to, can be congenial and helpful to others. But not to creeps like that ! True ! Your Mom is the CEO of a clothing brand, isn't she ? Wouldn't she have to be assertive to be in that kind of business position ? "I know !", offers Izumi, "Want to come over to my house, and meet my Mom ? She sometimes works from home, which she is doing today. Let's go, I think you will find her very interesting ...." Silently thinking to herself, Yuuki muses that she is being invited over to a {boy's} house, and to meet with their Mom, to boot ! Is there some sort of ulterior motive behind this offer ? What is Izumi getting at ? Izumi only smiles sweetly, just like a Cheshire Cat does, at Yuuki.

Later, after the two are done eating at the Café, Yuuki finds herself sitting on the couch in the front room of Izumi's home. She decided to come, anyway. Yuuki is perplexed, wondering what she is supposed to do now ? Izumi leaves Yuuki, telling her that she is going up to her bedroom to change out of her male school uniform, and into a pretty dress. Fidgeting something fierce, Yuuki tells herself, how did I get talked into something like this ? Soon, an extremely beautiful and pleasant woman enters the front room. She sees Yuuki, and asks in a friendly female voice, if they are a friend of Izumi ? Yes, they are. The woman thanks the teenager on the couch for befriending Izumi. Suddenly surprised, the woman asks Yuuki if they are a boy dressed as a girl, and presenting as a girl ? No, she was born a girl. The woman blushes with embarrassment, and apologizes for the misunderstanding. She thought that since you came with Izumi, you were the same as Izumi, a girl in a boy's body. Yuuki repeats that is not the case. Even if Yuuki looks masculine, she is still a girl.

"Sorry, Yuuki. Mama is so silly sometimes.", comes a voice from the staircase. Izumi has changed into a little girl's party dress, that looks surprisingly like an adult's sexy halter-style cocktail dress. Plus, Izumi is wearing a strapless padded bra that she had just bought earlier this afternoon. Izumi is showing a small, modest bust now ! Yuuki replies that the two of you are of different sexes, but have virtually the same personality. Mom states that when Izumi was born, and grew up, she thought that {he} had the potential to be an extremely cute and adorable girl. Turns out that was partially true, as Izumi has 'come out' as a Trans Girl. She probably has told you that already, as she is not shy about that in the least. Cutting in, Izumi proudly states that is so, and she is an only child. Now, 'putting two and two together', Yuuki asks if Mom might also have been born a male ? A long, pregnant, awkward silence ensues. Both Izumi and Mom have silly grins on their faces, while Yuuki whispers to herself; What is with this frightfully dead silence ?

Suddenly, Mom's iphone rings. It is a business call, so Mom excuses herself, and goes into the kitchen. Yuuki wonders why she is getting those kinds of calls at home ? Izumi relates that being the sole business executive of her company makes that inevitable. It's amazing how she is able to do that, states Yuuki. Without warning, a loud, angry burst of conversation launches forth from the open door to the kitchen---

**"WHAT .... YOU CAN'T EVEN DO A SIMPLE THING LIKE THAT BY YOURSELF, AND NOT SCREW UP ???"**

Puzzled, Yuuki notes that the voice is that of a deep man's voice, plain and simple. Is your Dad home ? Nonchalantly, Izumi only offers that it is only Mama and me that live here. The harsh voice comes booming out of the kitchen again---

**ACTING LIKE THAT, I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO BE HERE AT THIS COMPANY ANYMORE ! JUST GET THE HELL OUT ! DON'T EVEN COME IN TO WORK TOMORROW. I'LL CLEAN OUT YOUR DESK AND FED EX YOUR STUFF TO YOU !!!**

That male voice again ..... muses Yuuki ??

Mom comes into the front room, with a happy and cheerful look on her face. She speaks calmly with a very feminine voice. She apologizes for unexpectedly leaving the room. Okay, mumbles Yuuki. Inquiring, Izumi wants to know what happened ? Speaking sweetly, Mom says that she just had to get rid of some trash .... um .... that is .... she only took care of an important business matter, nothing really worth mentioning. So what were we talking about, continues Mom ? Shyly, Yuuki mentions that she was wondering if you, Mom, were born perceived as a male ???

"Well .... just to say .... it's complicated .... you know .... ", slips out Mom. Another long, dead silence descends upon the trio like a solar eclipse. Silently wishing she could go home now, Yuuki worries if she has made a social blunder ? Were both Izumi and her Mom both born perceived as males ? Finally, Mom excitedly states that her clothing brand just released their new collection of teenage girl's fashion and styles. How about you two try on a few of the samples of casual clothes that I have with me in the house ? Izumi is elated; Yuuki is frozen with stultification and vertigo.
