"Look, I need to think about this…about everything," Phoebe sighed, looking at Cole. She could see hurt in his eyes.
"I understand," he said, turning away from her.
"Cole?" He turned around to face her and was surprised when she kissed him gently on the lips. "I'll see you soon, ok?"
"Yeah. I'll go and see if I can get the demons to change me back."
"Good idea," Phoebe said smiling. Cole left and went to his apartment which he was renting.
He hoped Phoebe would come back to him and he hoped that the demons would change him back. He looked in the mirror.
"Hey, I don't look too bad as a woman…wait, did I just say that - what's happening to me!?" he muttered. He picked up a comb and brushed through his hair, which was now a lot longer than he was used to. He then decided to hold his hair back to see what it was like.
"Not too bad," he said, then put it in two bunches. "Nah, not me," he decided, letting his hair drop back down.
He looked down at what he was wearing and frowned, placing his hands on his hips. "I really need some new clothes…I mean I could be like this for a while." He moved away from the mirror and went to find some money before heading off towards the shops.
He made it to the shops and went in to the first clothes shop he found, groaning at the amount of clothes there were, but as he started looking around a smile actually found is way to his face and, for the first time, he was smiling while shopping.
The first shop though didn't have anything that he wanted so he made his way to another shop, grinning when he saw a top he really liked as soon as he stepped in the door. He quickly found it in his size.
"Wow, it's so nice…and these flowers on it are just so lovely," he smiled, placing it over his arm while looking at a skirt next to it. "Hmm…slightly different colour to the top…hmm…yeah that goes…ah but I don't like this…now then this is nice," he continued as he went through a clothes rail.
After finding five skirts, ten tops, one jacket and two pairs of shoes he made his way to the changing rooms, making sure to go in the one that said womens.
He closed the changing room door and hung the clothes up on the pegs on one wall.
He picked up a top and held it against himself while looking in the mirror on the wall. "Very nice," he said to himself "matches my eyes." He took off the top he was wearing to try the other one on and for the first time noticed how he truly looked. "Nice figure," he muttered, turning first to the right and then to the left. Then he took more notice of his top half and felt them, making sure they were real. "Whoa this is strange," he laughed slightly to himself, still feeling them. "I understand what women mean now…it's just not the same when they're your own," he said, disappointment in his voice.
He sighed and looked at the time. He had been studying his new body for the last half an hour. He decided he'd have to try all the clothes on quickly so he pulled the top over his head. His plan then went to pieces when he spent the next ten minutes looking at himself in the top, deciding whether it was right or not.
"It's just so hard to decide…it feels fine, but does it look right on me?" he asked himself, looking once again. He shook his head and tried the next one, deciding within the first two minutes he really liked this one.
"This one looks great and it'll go great with the skirt I picked out," he smiled, putting the skirt on as well. "Fits perfect." After a further fifteen minutes of trying the other things on, Cole finally went to pay.
He came out with one skirt, five tops and a pair of shoes. He made his way around a few of the other clothes shops before going home to change. He then went to the Manor and knocked on the door. Phoebe opened it, surprised to see Cole standing there.
"Cole, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see if you made a decision," he replied.
"Um…no," Phoebe said, studying Cole though deciding not to mention anything. "You been to see them demons yet?"
Cole went slightly red, having forgotten he was meant to go and see them. "Er…kinda got sidetracked. Hey, do you like my new outfit?" he asked, grinning.
"Sure…it…er…suits you…in a strange kind of way," Phoebe said, faking a smile.
"I know and this top just matches my eyes, don't you think? The skirt and shoes just go so well together," Cole said, taking little notice of how Phoebe was looking at him strangely.
"I thought they just changed your looks not everything about you," Phoebe frowned.
"They did. I just thought if I'm going to be a woman for a while I may as well at least look like one. Besides I realised how great clothes shopping is…I have a whole new look on things now."
"Ah-huh. And a whole new wardrobe as well?" Phoebe questioned and Cole laughed.
"Well…maybe I did buy more then I really need for the amount of time I'm likely to be a woman."
"So are you going to go and see the demons now?"
"Yes, right away. Do you think I look alright though?" Cole murmured, straightening his top a bit.
"Cole, you're going to see demons! They won't care what you look like," Phoebe yelled, which shocked Cole slightly.
"Yeah…you're right. Still I want to look alright…well…bye then." He gave her a quick kiss before shimmering out and reappearing in the Underworld ready to talk with some demons about changing him back.
