Lily and Ruby had just finished eating breakfast and decided to go buy Ruby some regular clothes. They were hoping that they wouldn't run into any trouble. Ruby and Lily were at their local clothing shop picking out some normal clothes for Ruby to wear. Lily had already picked out a few things for her that consisted of plenty of red t-shirts with matching shorts and pants.
Ruby asked Lily quietly, "What are we going to do about school? I mean if I'm going to be stuck like this how are we going to explain where Kai is?"
Lily answered, "I have a plan, we can tell the school that Kai took place in a family exchange program. We'll tell them that you Ruby exchanged schools with Kai."
Ruby raised an eyebrow, "Will they believe that without a note from dad?"
Lily said, "We are going to have to talk to dad about your transformation. After that we can get him to fax a letter to the schoo in order for them to believe their story." Ruby frowned she didn't want to talk to her dad about this, but Lily was right if she was stuck like this their dad needed to know.
Lily said, "Lets head home and put away your clothes, so you can change and we can call dad, then we'll go to talk to Rose." Ruby nodded in agreement. The two of them went and paid for her new clothes then headed home. Once they arrived back home Ruby changed into one of her new outfits which consisted of simple red t-shirt, matching jeans, and red sneakers. Ruby wore her signature hoodie on top of her new clothes mainly because it kept Crescent Rose hidden and the fact that she just felt weird without it on. After changing she put away the rest of her clothes. She headed back downstairs and saw Lily waiting for her by the couch. Ruby took a seat next to her quietly.
Lily asked, "Are you ready?"
Ruby shook her head, "If I'm being honest no I'm not ready. I mean dad may be an open minded person, but I think someone suddenly transforming into a fictional character and changing gender is beyond his imagination."
Lily sighed, "I know this hard to accept, but we don't have a choice." Ruby stayed silent. Lily sighed and picked up her phone and dialed her dad's cell. He was currently away on a business trip and wouldn't be back for a few months.
After a few rings their dad picked up, "Hello Lily, how are you and your brother doing?"
Lily said, "We could be doing better honestly. Something er….. odd happened to Kai."
Their father said seriously, "What happened to him? Is he sick or something?"
Lily said, "Wellllll…..how do I put this. He isn't well a he anymore."
Their dad said annoyed, "Is this a joke young lady? If it is I'm not laughing."
Lily said a bit panicked, "No dad please listen I'm being serious here. After Kai saved someone they gave him a magic charm bracelet and it turned him into a girl, well to be more specific a fictional girl. Do you remember the girl Kai has posters of?"
Their dad decided to humor his daughter, "Yes her name is Ruby Rose. Are you telling me he turned into her?"
Lily said, "Well...um...yes."
He sighed, "Put Kai on the phone now." Lily quickly handed Ruby the phone.
She said nervously, "Um….hi dad. How are you?"
He said, "Listen I'm going to ask you a few questions that only Kai would know if you answer them correctly without hesitation I'll believe this insane story. Am I understood?"
Ruby said, "Yes sir."
He asked, "First of all how many people live in our house?"
She answered easily, "There are three of us my older sister Lily, you Todd, and me Kai."
He continued, "Correct and for the second question Kai got punished last week and had his computer taken away. Why was it taken away?"
She answered, "I made a stupid post on Facebook that made you look bad."
He said, "Right now one more question. What is Kai's worst class and who is his tutor for it?"
She answered again, "My worst subject is math. My tutors name is Issac he is the son of a wealthy computer building company's CEO."
He sighed, "You answered all of them correctly. Alright I'll believe your story. What caused your transformation?"
She said, "I saved a girl from some big cuts on her arms by wrapping them up with my old jacket. Then I called an ambulance and went with her to the hospital. As a thank you she gave a charm bracelet with a rose on it. After I put it on I transformed into Ruby."
He asked, " And I'm going to say it's safe to assume that you can't take the bracelet off to change back?"
She answered sadly, "Yeah that seems to be the case."
He sighed , "What do you need me to do?"
"Can you send a fax to the school and tell them that I took part in a family exchange program and that Ruby Rose which is the name I'm going by for now is taking my place?" She asked sounding kind of desperate.
He said, "Alright I'll fax the school tonight, but I can't promise you'll still be in your old classes. Since judging by your voice I'd say you're about 15 years old now. You were taking 12th grade classes. I have to get back to work talk to you later." He hung up the phone after saying goodbye.
Lily asked, "So are we all set?"
Ruby nodded, "Yeah dad will fax the school tonight."
Lily said, "That's great! Well there is one more problem solved. Anyways we should start heading over to the hospital to pick up and talk to Rose about everything." Ruby nodded and the two of them started heading over to the hospital.
