The next day, Justin decided to sleep in. Or, he tried to, at least. He woke up to the sound of the door knocking.

"For Christ's sake, Nora. It's too early for this shit!" he said, sounding annoyed.

"Sweet Cheeks? It's Ashley. Listen, I know it's a bit early for you but can I come in?"

This again? What could she want this time?

Justin tried to put his pants on but it was too late. He left the door unlocked and she walked in on him, seeing his penis.

"Oh crap! Ashley, close the door." he demanded. She just stood there staring at it. She even made that whistle noise people make when someone looks hot to them.

He blushed. So what? I had a boner in my sleep. She acts surprised about that.

"Close the damn door!" he demanded again. She snapped out of it and closed it. It would've been embarrassing if someone else saw him without clothes on.

"Sorry. Bro. I was just taking in the view."

"Yeah, whatever. What did you need? It's 10 o'clock in the morning. You know I like sleeping in until at least 11."

"Well, I was wondering if you'd like to join me in seeing Polly? I messaged her and she said she'd love to see you."

It looked like Ashley beat him to it. He agreed to tag along. It's been a while since he's seen Polly in-person. Heck, the last interaction was in August when she commented on his TeleYube video regarding his friend betraying him.

They went to her house. It was in a fancy neighborhood. I guess being a famous online really pays off if she can afford a fancy house on a tropical island. Justin longed for the day he'd be famous...

Ashley rang the doorbell. Yeah, no knocking necessary. Polly had a fancy doorbell on her house. One you could actually see. Damn, must be nice. She opened the door and saw them.

"Well isn't this a lovely surprise? If it isn't my two favorite people. How are you doing?"

"I'm doing great, Polly." Ashley answered.

"I'm doing Ashley every week." Justin answered, making a vulgar joke.

"Oh my! You naughty boy! Please, come in. I'm making you lunch."

She let them in and he sat down on her couch.

It was nice seeing Ms. Polly again. I wonder if she still has her... Nah. Forget it. It would be rude to ask that.

"What's for lunch?" he asked, trying to forget the other question he wanted to ask.

"I'm making one of your favorites, JD. It's Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and baked macaroni n cheese!"

The thought of all of this food made him lick his lips. And considering it was being cooked by Polly just made it more mouth-watering.

"Hey, as starchy as it is, I'm gonna enjoy every bite of it!" he said.

"You'd better, Mister. If you married me, it'd be almost every night."

Of course, he forgot: She was one of the very few women that was interested in marriage. Not just interested, but desperate for marriage. He still had that question in his mind.

"So, how have you been?" he asked, still trying not to ask about the other thing.

"I've been doing great. Just got done making another makeup tutorial for my channel. I'm still stuck at 8 million subscribers though."

She should be grateful to have that many. I've been stuck at 2.6K for five years. But, I wouldn't understand. Not to mention: My views are extremely low while Polly's still gets roughly 1 million per video.

"Yeah, I'm still doing that TeleYube crap. Been making videos but don't get 10 views half of the time."

"Oh yeah, I saw your goodbye video in August. Glad you came back a month later. Lucy is a troubled individual and makes us transwomen look bad."

And there it was: The perfect opportunity to ask the question.

"So, do you still have your dick?" he asked. Everything suddenly got quiet. Both Polly and Ashley gave blank stares at Justin. Oh, God! Another situation where I look like the bad guy. It's game over. Goodbye!

"You mean the thing in my pants?" she asked. No, Polly. Your friend named Dick that works at a butcher shop and chops meat.

"Yeah. The thing I also have in my pants." he said, nervous but also embracing it.

She laughed. "Of course, Mister! I haven't gotten it chopped off yet. Some guy is holding everything up. I can't fully transition until he stops the nonsense, which is kind of dumb, if I'm going to be honest. A cis male forbidding someone like me to transition. What a joke, right?"

"Well, you know I don't mind it. I think certain transwomen put real women to shame. I have a friend named Megan that proved my point."

"Really now? So, are you actually gay?"

He chuckled. It's not gay to love a woman that was once a man. "Not gay, Polly. More like pan. I love women, transwomen/transmen, and I would date a guy but I have very strict limits when it comes to them."

This was all new to her. She never knew Justin was pansexual. Though, she didn't understand his limits with dating men.

"What do you mean you have limits with men?" she asked. Yep, he knew it was time to give a completely honest answer, something he typically kept to himself.

"What I mean is: If I were to date a man, I have limits on the person. Those limits being he would have to be in his early 20's, have a feminine voice/appearance, and confirm he's not a pedophile."

She understood this. She knew why too. His ex-roommate was 35, didn't have any feminine traits, and he was a nasty little space fetishist.

"I assume it's because of that no-good roommate you had, right?"

He nodded. She hugged him, knowing that he was thinking about that experience he had. Then, the oven went off.

"Lunch time!" she said, ready for them to dig in.

She made him and Ashley's plates. Of course, Ashley requested a small portion because she didn't want to get fat. Justin, on the other hand, got a moderate amount. He didn't want to be any bigger than 160 pounds.

He tasted the food. My God, it was amazing! Polly sure knew how to cook. The steak was so good and the gravy was perfect. The mashed potatoes were a little clumpy but she did make them from scratch, which is difficult. And the baked macaroni... Delicious. He kept his promise and enjoyed every bite of it.

"Damn, Polly. That was so good. I might have to reconsider marriage if you cook THIS good."

"Awe, thanks JD. I'm so glad you like it. What about you, Ashley? Do you like it?"

"Of course I do, Polly. Even though I don't like starch, I think it tastes amazing. I'd marry you too if I wanted commitment."

This made her happy. With that kind of talent, she could open a restaurant. "Polly's Kitchen".

A few hours later, Ashley decided to convince Polly make another collab video with her. But, she decided to make Justin the one to collab with and not her. He needed to boost his following.

"Hey, Justin? Would you like to make a video with me?" she asked him.

"Me?!" he screamed. He thought she never collaborated with channels under 100K.

"Yes, you! Ashley thought you could use more followers. I typically don't make videos with less-famous users, but I'll make an exception, just for you."

He smiled. Finally, his channel, JustinDark98, was collaborating with Polly's Paradise.

"So, what are we doing in this collaboration?" he asked.

"Well, I don't know if you'll like this, but I'm going to make a video of me doing your makeup. I hope you don't mind."

He grinned. "Polly, I don't mind one bit. I put makeup on sometimes and look ten times better than I usually do."

She smiled. I guess the gay part of him was coming out, if that's what gay really is.

Ashley grabbed the camcorder.

"Hey, Sweet Cheeks? I'll hold the camera for you."

"Thanks, Ashley. Gotta get those good shots. I hope she makes me look adorable!"

Yeah, that sentence definitely made him sound a little gay. But, she hit the record button and the video started.

"Hello, you beautiful people! It's Polly from Polly's Paradise here with my good friend, JustinDark98!"

"Yeah, hey everyone! It's Justin Dark here, JD, Twisted Dark Justin. Whatever you wanna call me!"

"Today, I'm going to do his makeup. He voluntarily asked me to do it and I agreed. I'm gonna give him the Polly's Paradise makeover. Make sure you leave a like on this video and subscribe if you haven't already. And while you're at it, subscribe to his channel too! He makes discussion videos on topics that you may be interested in."

This was all too exciting. She grabbed her foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick, etc. and began doing the makeover. Ashley filmed her doing it, all with a big smile on her face. She was not used to seeing him in makeup.

"And it's finished." she said. He looked in the mirror and... He looked stunning.

"Oh my God! I love it!" he said. He never thought he'd look good in magenta eyeshadow and purple lipstick.

"Alright, everyone. I did Justin's makeup. See you in the next video!"

Ashley stopped recording. What an experience that was. Justin felt cute. Yep, his inner femboy was definitely coming out.

"Thanks, Polly." he said.

"It's no problem, Dear! I'm glad to help someone out."

He smiled. Marrying her would be something special, that's for sure. Unfortunately, he felt like she deserved someone better.

"Polly, I hope you find a good guy soon."

"How do you know he's not standing right in front of me?"

"Because I don't think I'm good enough for you. You need a really good man in your life."

She frowned. "Do you not love me or something?"

"No, it's not that. I DO love you. A lot, actually. I just feel like I might be a handful at times. I can be stubborn and I make a lot of smartass remarks and sexual jokes. Polly needs a cracker, not a cheeseball."

She chuckled. Did he really just say Polly needs a cracker? "Alright, Mister. I understand. That was a funny reference though."

He smiled. "Glad you think so. Me and Ashley should really be heading back. But, before I forget, do you have any plans for Thanksgiving?" Ah, yes. The other important question.

"Not really. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I'm planning a big dinner for me and everyone here, besides Nora and probably Lola. Nora said she's going to Commotion City to see Kyanna and the rest of her family. As for Lola, no doubt she has a busy schedule to take care of."

"You know what? I will gladly join you for dinner. Not only will I join you, but I'll cook it for you."

"Wait, really?" he asked.

"Of course. I'm a really good cook and I'll prepare most of the dishes for you and everyone else."

He didn't know what to say. Not only was she amazing, she was helpful and considerate.

"Thank you, Polly. I-I think everyone's gonna fall in love with you if you make them dinner for Thanksgiving."

She smiled. "You're quite welcome, Sweetheart. I'll make it and everyone can feast on it."

This was good. He kissed her goodbye and headed back to the hotel. However, on his way to the room, he saw someone waiting outside of it. Is that...?
