I had always lovedthe ballet, but I had never felt it so deeply before. We were so excitedby the experience that we talked for ages about the beauty t...at we hadexperienced.Up early again the following morning. I took Sam breakfast in bed andthen set out to meet my group. We were out Chalfont way and I had takenthe train. I met the others at the rendezvous and was again accosted byDominic. I recognized most of the faces but there were several new ones.The total number was about the same.I spent. Hiko: Well, it's all thanks to my cleverly giving you just as much as you could take. If you get it, come on and try it. Full strength.(Kenshin draws his own sword.)Kenshin (thinking): I couldn't move a muscle. But that doesn't mean I couldn't see. Nine points of attack. I saw them all... Hiten Mitsurugi-ryuu KuzuryuusenKenshin (thinking): I did it... (Hiko smiles... and returns the attack. They meet again and again, until Hiko finally knocks Kenshin to the ground.)Kenshin (thinking): It was. What really gave me a sense of hope was that the clothes fit me. A yearago she fit into these clothes, now they fit me, a boy, a boy who afternine months of taking female hormones and male hormone blockers was ableto change my body to the point that i fit into her clothes. I just hopethat a year from now my body will look like her's.I told her like I told Jenny, my Mom, Dad and Mike how i'd always feltlike a girl, how i secretly bought the hormones and had been taking themfor the last nine. Kelly was looking at her watch. "Jen'll pick us up in 8.30. You readyfor your big night?"I nodded. "Excited but also scared. I wanted to jump you right now andsay forget this night out. You look soooo hot." Hold it, buster, no jumping - at least not now. I may enjoy it later sohold that thought. You look pretty hot yourself and I had the samethought, but remembering just what we did a little while ago, I'll waitfor later."Jen picked us up and we drove to the club. There were a few peoplewaiting.
