The Eighth Emerald
Chapter 2
The Girl in the Mirror
Dusk cried on Rouge shoulder. Rouge held her and offered her comfort. Rosy had a hand on her shoulder.
"How did this happen, Mom?" Dusk said through the hiccupping tears.
"Well we think it was something that fat loser's pink Chaos Emerald did." Rosy said.
"We have to hic get that emerald as soon as hic possible." Dusk cried. "This feels weird. I don't even know hic why I'm crying. I don't hic understand!"
Rouge and Rosy looked at each other Oh no they thought simultaneously.
I hope it's not that Rouge thought. She knew how now to handle mood swings. She's had them herself. But not that.
"I'm so sorry, Dusk." Rosy goes over a gives Dusk a hug.
Dusk pulls away. Rosy looks surprised and slightly hurt .
"I'm sorry. It's just that, I don't feel right showing affection to you when I look like this." Dusk said.
"Don't worry." Rouge said. "I won't judge you. These are special curcumstances."
Dusk thought for a second. How would things be different now that he was a she. How would people treat her now.
"I need a moment alone, please." she said, "If you don't mind."
"Of course, sweetheart." her mom said. She ushered Rosy out and closed the door.
Dusk got up and went in front of the mirror. She hadn't looked at herself long before she had broken down. The girl in the mirror looked similar yet totally different than how she had looked before. For example, she had bangs now! Then the two going down over her eyes. She was also missing her large stripe going down her head. Her top quill now went down like her dad's.
Her bust was bigger than any girl her age should be, but that was not surprising considering who her mom is. The thing that scares her is that, in her mind, she actually felt pride in having such a great figure.
So this is who I am now she thought.
She hears soft footsteps behind her. She turns around to see Rosy behind her.
"What do you want?!" she says harshly, then covers her mouth. Why can't she seem to control her emotions.
Oh yeah, it's that all right Rosy thought.
"I'm sorry." Dusk said. Tears briming back in here eyes. Darn it.
"Don't sweat it." Rosy said. She grabs Dusk's arm "Come on." she drags her out of the room.
"Where are we going?" Dusk asks stumbling behind Rosy.
"You need some clothes. You can't wear mine all the time can you?" Rosy smiles.
Dusk showed horror on her face. "You don't mean-?"
"Yep, We're going shopping."
Rosy dragged Dusk to the mall where she made her try one about fifty different outfits (I kid you not) until both of them were happy. Rosy wanted to dress Dusk in a dress similar to what Cream the Rabbit used to where. Dusk wanted to get jeans and a T-shirt.
They settled on a black and white tanktop with a black broken heart in the center and a green gem shaped icon on the shoulder with a black and white striped miniskirt. For her feet she got some white high boots with black hearts on the toes that were flat enough so that she could run but were pretty stylish. She was happy for both of the attributes but would never admit the latter to Rosy.
After they compromised on the clothes, they got about five copies of the outfit. They paid and left.
After they left the store they went to the food court. Rosy got a chicken salad, but Dusk said she didn't feel like eating.
"Hey cheer up. At least you're pretty, huh. You could have turned into an ugly girl." Dusk just gave her a stink eye.
After Rosy ate they decided it was time to leave. They were almost to the entrance when they heard a voice that they both knew well say.
"Hey beautiful wait up!"
They looked at each other
"Bash." they said at the same time.
They turned around to see Bash coming toward them. His brother Crash followed behind him, shaking his head.
Crash had a look on his face that said This will not end well. Bash had a look that said I'm God's greatest gift to women.
Bash comes up to them with that stupid grin on his face.
"Hey Rosy, who's your friend?" he said, grinning at Dusk. He flexes his muscles. "Why don't you come over and feel this, huh?"
Dusk blushes.
Is he actually hitting on me? she thought.
"Piss off, echidna." Dusk turns to leave.
"Hey! Who do you think you're talking to b-" As he grabs for Dusk she brings her fist around, smashing Bash in the face.
Bash stands motionless for a second, then he keels over like a rotten log.
Crash comes over and looks at Bash.
"Nice hit Dusk."
"Wait, you recognized me?" Dusk asked sadly.
"Kinda hard not to, you look exactly the same." He sees her sad look "Hey perk up. Just because I did doesn't mean everyone will. Probably just the people who know you. Besides even if they do, It's not like you aren't worth looking at" Crash said supportingly to his best friend.
Dusk raised her hand threateningly. "Do you want to get hit too?"
Crash raised his arms defensively. "No, I was just saying that you're pretty." he chuckles nervously.
Rosy brings Dusk's hand down. "Come on let's go home." she said grabbing Dusk's arm and dragging her towards the door.
"I'm sorry Crash. My emotions are all over the place, though I don't know why" Dusk started to tear up. She dabbed a tear. "See!"
Dusk ran and was almost out of the door when she turned and waved. "Take care of Bash, Crash!" she yelled.
When they got home they found Shadow in his usual place in his recliner. As the girls walked by he called.
"Wait." he called to Dusk. "Come here."
Dusk looked at Rosy. Rosy gave her a shrug. Dusk goes over to him.
"Yeah, Daddy?" Wait. DADDY?! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!?
Shadow gave an amused chuckle, as if he were thinking the same thing. "It's starting to affect you mentally as well, huh." He looks her up and down.
"I guess you're 'Daddy's little girl' now, huh?" he starts laughing uncontrollably.
"Shadow, what happened!?" Rouge said, seeing the large bump on his head. She ran over with an ice pack.
"I messed with the only force more powerful than me. A girl on her first period" he says.
"Where is she?" Rouge asked, concerned for her son turned daughter.
"She ran up to her room crying after she hit me." Shadow said.
Rouge looked at him critically. "What did you do?"
"She had called me 'Daddy' exactly like a normal teenage girl would, exactly, and I asked if she was 'Daddy's little girl' now."
Rouge hit him on the head right next to where Dusk had and another bump appeared on his head.
"OHH!" he cried. He shoved the ice pack on both of his knots.
Rouge huffs and walks out of the room.
"Men" she grumbles
Rouge knocks on Dusk's door.
"Go away!" she heard a crying voice inside say.
"It's Mom." Rouge said.
"Fine then." the voice said.
"I'd be careful" Rosy said as Rouge went in. She ran into, and hit her head on, Dusk's shield barrier, which covered the door.
"Sorry." Dusk sobbingly apologizes. She drops her shield.
Rouge finds Dusk sitting on her bed, crying her eyes out.
Rouge sat down next to her. "What's wrong, hon?"
Dusk looks up at her. "Do you really have to ask?"
"Elaborate."
"Well for starters, I'M A GIRL! I feel weird and moody. I'm falling apart. And you know what the scary thing is?"
"What?"
"I think Dad is right. I think I'm starting to turn into a girl mentally as well as physically. I actually had fun when I was shopping with Rosy. And I actually started feeling flattered when Bash hit on me today. And then a few minutes ago I went all girly and called Dad 'Daddy' in the most little girlish voice."she sighs.
Rouge looks up at the clock 9:00 already. Wow time flies.
"Well, anyway, it's time for bed. You can think more about this in the morning." She tucks Dusk in like a little kid, though Dusk kind of likes it. It made her feel loved. Mom gives her a kiss on the forehead.
"Goodnight sweetheart." she says switching out the light.
"Goodnight Mom."
(A.N- Sorry for all of the trouble concerning this story. I really was not satisfied when I looked over it. So many spelling and grammar mistakes. So I am doing this chapter as a "sorry"
Dusk- WHAT THE HELL, MAN! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME! I'M A GIRL! YOU MOTHE-
Careful, or I'll make you have a blond bimbo complex.
Dusk- Shutting up now. (Changes into female version) don't forget to read and review. (looks down at herself) DAMN IT!
