Hi guys, thank you for the reviews :-)) hope you like this chapter, let me know if you do . . . or even if you don't!

Jason didn't know what to say so he just cleared his throat awkwardly and looked at the ground, Sinead noticed his discomfort and changed the subject.

"Now I just have to plot my revenge." she joked feebly.

"Do you really think Bart would actually go back to her?" Sinead shrugged,

"I don't know, I don't think I really care I just don't want her to win."

"Are you going to the party then?" Jason asked, causing Sinead to laugh helplessly.

"I was going to go with Maddie, what great night that would have been," she said sarcastically. "Are you?" Now it was Jason's turn to snort.

"What with all my mates?" he shook his head. The once again lapsed into silence for a few moments.

"Come with me!" Sinead blurted out impulsively.

"What?" Jason looked at him in surprise.

"Come on, there's no reason for us not to be mates now is there?"

"Well . . . No I suppose not."

"So come with me then."

"Uh Sinead listen, I don't want to come if you're going to make a scene and stuff."

"I won't, promise!" Jason stared at her for a minute and contemplated her invitation.

"Well . . . . Ok then."

"Great!" Sinead smiled at him, "What you going to dress up as?"

"Dunno, you?"

"Think I'm going to be a witch."

"Oooooh very original." Jason teased gently.

"Yeah alright, better than uhhh dunno."

"Ah I'll think of something."

"Well you don't have long . . ." she paused momentarily before squealing, "oh my god you should go as Jasmine!" Jason stared at her, aghast.

"What?" he hissed.

"Yeah because . . ."

"Did you just invite me so that I would dress up as a girl and what? Prove your point to Maddie? Humiliate me? Undo everything I've gone through this year?" He grabbed his bag and went to stand up but Sinead grabbed his leg.

"Jase no! I didn't mean it like that it just popped out." Jason stayed where he was, "Look I just thought, well I didn't think."

"I can't do it." he whispered.

"Well there's something I never thought I'd see!" They both looked round to see Tilly strolling towards them.

"Hey," they both greeted her.

"What are you doing?" she asked as she sat down on the wall next to Sinead.

"I'm trying to persuade Jase to come out tonight."

"Oh only cause you want me to dress up as a girl and . . ." Tilly gasped and clasped her hands together.

"Wow that's a great idea!" they both stared at her in surprise,

"You think so?" Jason asked incredulously.

"YES! What a great statement to make."

"I don't think it's a good idea."

"If you want I'll go as a man."

"Tilly . . ."

"No come on, I think it'll help people understand how you feel going in costume as girl." Jason snorted.

"I don't think other people see things as poetically as you, they'll probably just be like oh I thought that freak pretended to be a boy . . ."

"Oh come on people aren't as narrow minded as you think!" Tilly replied confidently. "Right Sinead?"

"Er yeah."

"Oh of course, cause you've always been sooo understanding!" Jason snapped at her.

"Oh come on Jase, my . . . Problem with you was never really about that."

"Go one, it'll be fun!" Tilly squeezed his arm encouragingly.

"No. No I can't, it would just be like taking a huge step back."

"Oh ok then." Tilly sighed.

"Well you'll still come though yeah?" Sinead asked while Jason stood up.

"Look, I'll think about it I'll need to find something to wear y'know."

"Alright, well let me know."

"Cool, yeah alright." Jason called over his shoulder as he walked away.

Jason was almost home when he caught sight of Maddie lurking about by the pond, she was blatantly staring at him with a slight smirk on her face.

"Hi." Jason said suspiciously.

"Hello."

"What?" he asked when she made no move or comment.

"Oh nothing, I was just thinking about something I heard about you today." she said and laughed nastily, "It was hilarious." Jason bristled and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh really? Good for you." He replied and turned round to leave.

"Don't you want to know what it is?"

"Huh, no. People say hilarious things about me all the time, I've heard it all."

"Oh god you are soooo bitter. You know I don't know what Bart ever saw in you, you're not even a nice person."

"Well I could say the same about you."

"Oh Really?" Maddie took a few steps towards him, "Well I think that there are plenty of things Bart could still like about me sweetheart, not like you." she hissed in his face.

"Yeah? Well he's not exactly been falling over himself to get back with you has he? You just follow him round like a dog." he shook his head pityingly, "It's sad really." Now it was Maddie's turn to flinch slightly and step back.

"Who are you to call me pathetic? Look at you, what even are you? Running about wearing boys clothes and calling yourself a boy? You're never going to be normal are you? No one's ever going to want you you know, no matter what you think." Maddie spat at him, Jason smiled slightly.

"Wow very clever of you, never heard any of that before." he turned away from her. "Maybe if you weren't so insecure you wouldn't have to be such a bitch." Maddie reached out and grabbed his arms tightly, pulling him back.

"Oh I'm not insecure, I just know what I want and believe me, I'm not going to let anyone get in my way. Sinead reckons that you could get in my way although I cant imagine anything more laughable."

"Then why are you here?" Jason wrenched his arm out of her grip.

"I came to say that you're not welcome tonight, stay away no one wants you there."

"Ooooh I'm so gutted." Jason said sarcastically and finally walked away from her.

An hour later Jason knocked on Sinead's front door and waited nervously until she pulled it open.

"Jase!"

"Hey, so . . . Do you really think this will work then?"

"You're going to do it? Yeah it defs will!"

"Alright then, I'll do it." Sinead squealed and hugged him tightly. "What changed your mind?"

"I saw Maddie, she's just, god she's horrible." Sinead pulled him inside and shut the door.

"I know, she's a proper nut like who actually acts like that."

"Dunno." Jason shrugged and followed her through the living room.

"Well whatever, it doesn't matter really you're well going to get her back tonight, it's going to be great can't WAIT."

"Yeah." he replied as they climbed up the stairs.

"So . . . Do you want to choose something to wear first or will we do your make up?"

"whatever you think's best." He said and sat down on the edge of her bed.

"Right well, Diane's out so I think first we should have a little drink yeah? Get the party started." Sinead grinned.

After a while, and a few more drinks, Sinead and Jason were sitting on the floor giggling.

"You know what Jase, you look right weird with all this make up on." she said as she put the finishing touches to the small flick of eyeliner which extended from his right eye.

"You know, it feels weird." he pulled a few faces, stretching his skin in various directions, "Feels heavy." Sinead snorted and sprayed vodka and coke all over his shirt.

"Babe, I hope that's not your pulling face or we're going to have a problem." she laughed as she ineffectually wiped the damp patches on his top.

"Hey, hey, hey excuse me I can be very attractive." he replied and pouted comically.

"Really."

"No!" he replied and they both collapsed into a fit of giggles again.

"Wow, I never thought I'd see you two getting on this well." Tilly appeared at the bedroom door dressed in an impressive Edward Scissorhands outfit. "Hope you don't mind I just l et myself in, I could hear you from the street!"

"You look fab!" Sinead gasped. "Absolutely going to show me up!"

"Yeah I'll be beating the ladies off with a stick in this sexy little number." Tilly laughed and dropped her bag on the floor before flopping down onto the bed."

"Well I think you look great! Wait here I'll go and get you a glass." Sinead jumped to her feet and scurried out of the room.

"Hey." Tilly nudged him gently with her foot. "You changed your mind then?"

"Yeah, why not eh?" he replied half heartedly.

"Jason, why are you and Sinead so friendly all of a sudden?"

"Hmmmmm?" he feigned ignorance and took a swig out of his glass.

"Oh come on, this morning you could barely look at each other and now you're absolute besties?"

"Ah well, we've both fallen out with someone today and suddenly we like each other a lot more." He grinned conspiratorially at her.

"Oh I see, the enemy of my enemy is my friend?"

"Yeah kind of."

"Oooooh I like it, it's like a plot, who is it?"

"Here we go." Sinead burst back into the room and set about pouring Tilly a drink, "Get that down you babes, we need to sort Jason out with something to wear."

"Cool, oh I brought it." Tilly reached into her hand bag and pulled out a plain black bra. "We thought you might need one, and well, Sinead's weren't going to fit." Tilly said awkwardly and held it out to him.

"Oh right, thanks." He replied and took it gingerly into his hands. The girls watched him as he fingered it slowly, examining it intently.

"You ok?"

"yeah, yeah I'm fine." he dropped it into his lap and smiled up at them.

"Great, well then let's find something for you put on . . . Unless you want to go in just that . . ." Sinead teased and raised an eyebrow provocatively.

"Ooooooh . .." Tilly joined in.

"Ha no, I think I'll need some kind of bottom at least." Jason laughed as Sinead started raking through her wardrobe.

After another hour of getting dressed, accompanied by several more drinks, they were finally just about ready. Jason pulled down the hem of the tiny pleather skirt Sinead had leant him, they'd gone for a kind of rock look which included a black lace vest over a dark purple cami.

"You look amazing!" Sinead exclaimed when he stepped back into the bedroom after changing in the bathroom. "Did you look at yourself?"

"No," he replied quietly."

"oooh well come over here, I've done a fantastic job to be honest." Sinead reached out and led him towards her full length mirror "Oh, I' need to find my camera." she suddenly said and started rummaging about in her drawers. Jason nervously stepped in front of the mirror and looked at himself for the first time. His face was covered in make up, big black lines around his eyes which made them look huge and deepened their shade of brown, while his lips shone with a deep red gloss. His could see his breasts again, forming a gently curve under his top while his long slender legs stretched out from under his skirt, he's shaved before coming over and it felt somewhat strange to once again have his skin feeling soft and smooth.

"Are you ok?" Tilly asked quietly from the bed, causing him to jump in surprise, he'd pretty much forgotten she was there.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." he tore himself away from the mirror and picked up his drink. It was already feeling a warm hazy feeling coming over him which was mixing with the surreal feeling of once again being dressed as a girl.

"You do look good." She said, looking at him up and down. "I would . . ." she smiled up at him. He laughed quietly and raised his glass.

"A few more of these and you never know . . ." he joked before lapsing back into silence.

"How does it fell?"

"Weird. Really weird." he took a sip and thought for a moment. "I mean, I never looked like this before when I was Jasmine, it's like looking at a whole new person and I don't know if that's making it easier or not." Tilly furrowed her brow and waited for him to continue, it didn't seem like he was quite finished. "I just." h paused again. "I'm just worried that I'm taking a huge step back doing this." Tilly stood up and walked towards him.

"How do you mean."

"It feels like people had just started to accept me, y'know, at least get used to me looking like me and I just think that suddenly dressing like a girl's going to confuse everything again I just think . . . Oh I don't know." he shrugged hopelessly and emptied his glass with one big gulp. "I'm just sure this is such a great idea anymore."

"Well, you don't have to do it, we'll find you something else to wear or we could just stay here if you want. No one's forcing you." Tilly said softly and squeezed his arm.

"Yeah I know. I'm fine I think it was just weird seeing," he gestured at himself, "I kind of want to see what happens. Maybe people won't even know it's me!"

"Well seriously, if I walked past you in the street I'd be like WOW that girl is well hot I wouldn't be thinking oh there's Jase.

"Ah see well then it'll be fine! Honestly I'm ok, it just feels a bit strange that's all." He shrugged and started to refill his glass.

"Found it!" Sinead swept back in brandishing her camera, she'd also found her witches' hat on the way. "Are yous ready to go then guys?" she asked and then caught sight of Jason's full glass. "Oh well ok then, if you're going to twist me arm we'll have one more . . ."

Soon they were strolling through the village towards Chez Chez with Jason walking in between his friends. Although the vodka had numbed some of the fear he felt he was nonetheless nervous as they passed people in the street. Every time someone looked at him he would quickly dart his eyes to the floor. He felt like he looked ridiculous. They reached the club and Sinead flirted shamelessly to get inside, the bouncer laughed along and lifted the barrier to let her through. Jason and Tilly went to follow her but the bouncer stuck his arm out in front of him.

"Hang on a minute, not very scary are you. There's a dress code you know."

"Oh come on!" Sinead started to protest but Jason interrupted.

"This," he again gestured up and down his body, "Is my worst nightmare, pretty scary for me."

"What?" the bouncer looked bemused but in the end laughed and shook his head, "Fair enough love, have a good night ladies." Jason flinched slightly at the girly references but simply smiled sweetly and went inside.

"Right come on then guys." Sinead confidently led them across the dance floor and towards the bar, "Let's see who's going to buy us a drink first eh?" she laughed.

They'd been leaning against the bar for a few minutes, waiting for service, when they heard a voice behind them.

"Tilly!" before they'd ha time to react Bart had pulled her into a quick hug. Jason felt a cold fear rush through his body and fixed his eyes on the bar.

"Hi Sinead," Bart greeted his ex somewhat awkwardly before turning to look at Jason's back. "Who's your friend?" Jason took a deep breath and slowly turned round.

"Hi." he said, watching as Bart's face dropped with shock. His eyes darted across Jason's face before hastily scanning his body too.

"Jas?"
