Part 3:

"How about this one?"

Kari frowned at her sister's choice of attire,"It's too revealing."

Mirya looked down at her swimsuit. It consisted of a tiny bottom piece, and an even thinner top portion, which showed much more than a hint of cleavage. "So?" she asked.

Kari sighed,"Mom will have a fit."

Mirya sighed,"Kari, when you're older, you'll understand."

She sighed again,"Just because you've got the pyshical body of a girl, still doesn't mean you are one."

She turned at her little sister, eyes flaring,"I spent two plus years living as one."

Kari glared at her," Tai," she said.

Mirya sighed,"All right, I'll change."

Kari smiled as her sister walked back into their room. She knew that using Mirya's old name would get her point across. Just because her brother was a girl now, didn't mean he can show off his new body.

Mirya walked back into the kitchen, wearing a more conservative swimsuit.

Kari nodded,"That's much better."

Mirya pulled on a pair of shorts and grabbed her bag. "Well, I'm off," she said.

"Great," Kari said, following her.

"Where are you going?"

"With you," she said,"Sora invited me as well."

"Great," Mirya said,"Well, come on."


A few minutes later they had reached the party. Sora's mother directed them to the back, where the pool was full, and there were many tables lining them. "Wow," Mirya said,"Look at all the cute guys here."

"Don't embarrass me," Kari said,"Please?"

"All right," Mirya said,"look, there's Sora."

The two siblings walked over to where the guest of honor was. She was wearing a pink swimsuit. "Hi, Kari, Mirya, I'm glad you coul-Mirya, I thought you were wearing a bikini."

She looked at her younger sister,"She didn't like it."

"Oh," Sora said, "That's okay."

"Hey guys," Matt said, walking up.

"Wow," Mirya said. She never used to become this stimulated when she saw Matt without a shirt on before, but now...

"Mirya?" Matt asked, wondering why she was suddenly beat red,"Are you okay?"

"Yeah," she said,"I..I'm fine."

"Well," Matt said,"Do you want to get something to drink?"

"Sure," Mirya said, following him,"There's something I've got to tell you....."

Kari sighed,"There she goes."

"Kari," Sora asked,"I need to talk to someone about this."

"What?" Kari asked, following her to a table.

"I..I'm just have trouble believing this. Is that really Tai?"

Kari nodded,"Yes. That's my brother, now turned sister."

"Was he always like that? Its just, I've known him for such a long time and I never even suspected..."

"Well," Kari said, looking at Mirya talking to Matt,"things weren't easy for him. He almost committed suicide."

"What?" Sora asked, amazed.

Kari nodded,"Yeah, more than once."

Then they saw Matt walking back towards the table, with Mirya following him. Matt walked towards Kari and Sora and slammed his drink onto the table,"I'm sorry Sora, but I'm leaving. I can't stay here, while that...thing is here!"

"Matt!" Kari yelled,"That 'thing' is my sister! Don't talk to her like that!"

Matt didn't say anything as he took off. Mirya came towards the table, crying."I'm sorry Sora," she said,"I shouldn't have come."

"No," Sora said,"Matt's just....Matt. I don't want you to leave. I haven't seen you in over four years. Stay, talk."

"Okay," Mirya said, sitting down.


Meanwhile, there were a group of kids seated at another table. They were a group of jocks, who were notorious for causing trouble. "What's this?" one asked,"Kenji, Matt Ishida talked to that new girl, then took off."

"Well, Saturo" Kenji said,"I hear rumors that that new girl is really Taichi Kamiya!"

"What?"

Kenji nodded,"Yes. I heard he moved away, got a sex change, then came back as Mirya, because something happened in that school. I think its true because he's hanging around with Kamiya's sister."

"Well," Saturo said,"I think we'd better find out more information. Let's go check their apartment."
