POV Narrator:

After the conversation that Laura had with Harriet and Freya, she could finally be sure that she would be able to find the cure if she deserved it by winning the triple crown of the broom racing world, but she still had another concern that would possibly plague her, that would be Daryl's attempt to kill her own sister, that she was already producing some poison to get rid of, Rosemary was still gathering some evidence and better analyzing each thing she collected from Daryl's room, since it went unnoticed, assembling the perfect dossier for in case Laura comes back to the Cavendish family mansion, she would have the best evidence to incriminate her in case Bernadette's sister tried anything. Besides trying to kill her own sister, she was also pushing any man to her side just to erase even more the history of all the fight she had to be independent, who fought so hard to be seen as a lesbian and accepted as such, but still Daryl wanted to emphasize that her sister marry some rich and handsome man for the family image and also for the money that could come, But also as a form of erasure on Daryl's part, she knew that her sister marrying anyone would erase the whole story that Bernadette was a lesbian. In these days that passed, the Cavendish had only unexpected visits from three suitors who came almost always there and received a wonderful out by the elder Cavendish, they were the same as always, Daniel, James and Arthur, the men who were trusted that Daryl kept pushing to her sister and on top of that they practiced relations with her, which would not only be an erasure, but a facade marriage without love and still with constant betrayals. With Laura, things were more about her going back to intense training to try to get the triple crown in broomstick racing.

Monday, September 13, 1999, Luna Nova, Wales

Laura keeps her promise, she was in the forest of Arcturus just waiting for the presence of Madeleine, Croix and Chariot who were going to come to train with her and become professional broom runners, but for that they would need plenty of physical strength and train to the limit. Laura stayed there waiting while the girls in their room were still awakening, since Laura arrived much earlier, and would be extremely punctual with the trio. Already in the red team's room the alarm clock was ringing and soon they started to wake up in the morning.

POV Chariot:

Hmmmmm... Another week starting... These classes here are not the coolest thing in the world like the classes in France, the teachers here are a pain in the ass once in a while, I honestly didn't like any of them, especially that teacher Finnelan, she looks at me like I am a freak or something, and I don't even get in trouble, all because I am a bouncy and cheerful little girl, but that's exactly what teacher Olivia taught us in all the years at the witch school in Loperec that we should be cheerful and magic should bring joy to everyone, but this place is much more serious, I walk here and it feels like I'm in a barracks, where any slip would make me be punished with some kind of humiliation... I don't know if the other two are like this, but I felt trapped here... I felt like I lived in a regulated environment and that everyone is very serious, not even technology we can have... Video games and televisions are clandestine... I quickly get out of bed after thinking for a while, scratch my eyes and go to the bathroom and when I get there I see Croix in the shower and... I accidentally look between her legs and she has a... She has a cock! Ahhhhhh... What's that? She has a dick! She's a girl with a dick! What a... What a... Ahhhh... I quickly turned my face and tried to leave, but she magically closed the door and when I turned around she was wrapped in her towel somewhat embarrassed.

- Please... Chariot... For the sake of our friendship... Don't tell anyone... I... I... I'm a trans girl... - She was crying with shame... I was a little confused... I guess that must be a name for a girl with a dick... I never thought I would see one like this I thought girls had parakeets.

- I get it, you're a girl with a dick, that's fine... With me you can feel safe Croix, if that's what you do to feel comfortable... And since I accidentally saw you like this I think you should see me like this - I say as I take off my clothes with a little embarrassment, Croix was a stone of embarrassment and I quickly took everything off.

- Chariot... - She said with few words while I was totally naked and embarrassed and even had my hands covering my intimacy.

- Croix... You can be comfortable, if I saw you naked you can see me naked... Let's take a shower together as friends, no need to be embarrassed, after all we are both girls, regardless of what you have, I promise that this secret will stay just between us - I tell her smiling and going to her towel trying to pull it, but when I do I notice that her cock was different? That's strange, before it was half down and now it's standing up, well whatever, let's take a shower.

I quickly get in the shower and call for Croix who was still embarrassed and with that thing I kept looking at... What the hell... I have to stop looking at other people's parts... But it's just that I'm not used to nudity... What a stupid idea I had to invent a morning shower with Croix... What's worse is that her dick isn't ugly, it's kind of cute, she has hair the same color as her lilac hair... Stop staring Chariot... She soon entered and we started to bathe, but the space in the shower was too small and sometimes we touched each other, I even felt her cock passing through my ass... Ahhhhhh... how embarrassing...

10 minutes later...

I was tense, I didn't know how to act... I felt an urge to grab that thing when I was standing up, but then it came down, how strange, I don't even know what it is... My parents never told me... And I never heard the boys talk about their dicks going up, nor the girls... At least we finally took a shower and changed, coming out of the shower Madeleine was waiting for both of us, stamping her feet, as if we were taking too long.

- I found out that they are lesbians and today they were in the shower for a long time, are they already dating? I bet they were in the shower making fun hahaha, I'm kidding - She said, and soon she went into the bathroom and I just kept looking at Croix and she looked back at me.

- This Madeleine is quite the charmer - I say until Croix takes me by the arm and leads me to her bed, as well as using a spell on the shower door that I don't understand at all.

When she leaves me on the bed, we accidentally end up almost on top of each other, we were wearing training clothes and soon she gets off and gets embarrassed, Croix then takes some pills and starts to take them, I get all confused looking at that, since we arrived in Luna Nova she keeps taking these pills and this potion too, does she have some chronic disease? How strange... Until Croix sits down next to me and I stare at her and she looks at me a little serious.

- Chariot... It was bad for the bath time, I almost ended up messing up because I often lose control of my... My penis... It can end up getting erect when I get really embarrassed or when I feel excited and it makes me want to do things a little bit... I didn't want to tell anyone, but this is my biggest secret... I was not born a girl, unfortunately, I was born a boy, but after much denial to be a "real man" I eventually decided to become a girl... - She was explaining nicely about being a girl with a dick until I interrupted her a little.

- You didn't become a girl... You always were one, it's just that it was dormant inside of you... I don't care what train you have between your legs or not, to me you are Croix and that's all I care about, look you don't need to prove yourself a girl to me and all that, because I didn't feel even a little bit uncomfortable with you... It's different... Yes... I never thought I'd have a girl with a dick... But that doesn't make you inferior to me because of that, I can imagine what you must have done to go through all this... I'm starting to admire you more Croix... You are intelligent and now you are a girl who must have gone through a lot to get here? - I tell her and she smiles at me, she is so cute and I don't care what anyone thinks about Croix... I wonder... Am I liking her? Ahhhh... Chariot, get a grip...

- Thank you Chariot... You really understand me a little bit... But sorry again for the shower, I almost messed up... Sorry for touching that hard thing all over your body, if anything came out, a thousand pardons, it wasn't my intention... But yes... I chose this name for myself... My family did not accept me and since then I ran away from home, when I was 15 and they started to notice that I was transitioning, my sister helped me in the escape, otherwise I might get beaten and they would take the hormones from me, besides the potions from the witch Gine... My family does not accept these things well, since then I am a Meridies without a family and I have been jumping from home to home to secure my life until I appealed to study in Luna Nova where I would have somewhere to live... That's when I met you and here I am, I am not "complete" yet, but soon when I am 24 I will realize my dream and become a complete girl... For now I am this thing... Full of traits, but... - She said until I put my index finger in her mouth.

- Don't get all down like that, Croix, fuck these masculine traits, I like you just the way you are... I like Croix... I mean... I like my friend being herself... Comfortable with herself... That's it... - I say, all confused with the words and extremely flushed... Ahhhh... - I hide my face in embarrassment and she quickly takes my hand and smiles at me, at the same time she was blushing.

- I like you too, Chariot, you are the nicest person in this academy of witches... Well, let's wait for Maddie, it seems that today is the day we train with Laura McLaren. How fascinating, she is a girl with a dick... I am still trying to understand all this, but I don't think it is so bad, she may have a dick, but all around she is a girl, I will not stop being a lesbian if I... Chariot Du Nord no! Control these desires... Ahhhhhh...

Minutes later...

Maddie soon comes out of the shower wrapped in a towel and with that Croix and I just turn our faces to her to change, but of course I made sure to take a few peeks, after all she had a great body... Too bad she doesn't like girls... If not me... Chariot, control yourself! I have to stop thinking... Oh no... If I don't think about it I think about how the shower with Croix could be different and this is making me... Excited... No... Hell no... I'm starting to feel even different things for Croix... Ahhhh...

- Girls, the three of us are girls, what's the shame of seeing a breast or a parakeet, and you have them too, even if you are lesbians, it's not as if you're going to jump on my breasts and suck them, or suck my parakeet? I know how behaved you are... - She said and I just stared at Croix and the only thing that was going through my mind was that it wasn't like that... There are girls with dicks too... And I am really ashamed.

Until she finished changing and we were ready, we didn't even eat anything... How hungry... The worst thing is that breakfast is right at the time we are going to start our training with Laura, so the three of us take our brooms and go from there to the Arcturus forest, where we end up meeting Laura who was sitting on a rock and she was... playing... In a Mahoutendo's Playgame, until we get close to her and she smiles at us and looks at the time on her cell phone.

- You're on time, that's good, since I know you're hungry, I brought you some food - she said, which made us very excited... Aeee... Food... I was too hungry, Laura is wonderful.

But she soon breaks our hope with some strange gororoba, and some eggs that she breaks and puts inside a glass for us... Ahhh... I can't believe the food is going to be this gororoba... What broom skills she has, she doesn't have in the kitchen... Look at this gumbo, how does she expect it to get in my mouth? Ew... How disgusting, she soon fills three bowls of it and three glasses and we sit at the table disgusted, she also puts hers on and eats it quickly.

- If you eat quickly you won't even feel the food going down your throat, I recommend you to eat it all at once, the gororoba I made isn't bad, it was good, it has a lot of protein and gives you a lot of energy to start training hard, let's go... Don't be afraid - she said, but just looking at that glass of egg made me feel a little sick? Ew.

But I take courage and drink it all at once, after all it can't be that bad, when I feel it going down my throat... All slimy, all gross and icy... I swear I was going to puke, but I kept going until I drank it all and turned that glass over, just feeling that stuff going down my throat, yuck... It was all slimy and I could feel the raw egg touching every corner of my mouth... Ahhhhhhhh... After drinking it all I get a bit disgusted and manage to swallow... Laura was laughing at all this as if it was the funniest thing in the world... Then I take the gororoba she made, I smell the stuff and it wasn't that stinky, so I start to eat a spoonful just to try it... Whew... It's not bad, you can eat it... With this I was eating it just to forget the consistency of the raw egg... Ahhh... What a relief, I ate it as if it was the most delicious food in the world, my mother's Crossiants, that's what came to my mind... Those crossiants, they remind me of something... No Chariot! Stop thinking about Croix's dick... I have to empty my mind of that, now is the time to train.

Minutes later...

We finished eating, I was a little bit satisfied, but I still had a little bit of raw egg taste in my mouth, so Laura gave us glasses of water and we were drinking to take a little more of the raw egg out of our mouths... After we drank that water, Laura got up and stood on a tree trunk to look taller, she is all short, I don't remember her being so small like that when I was a child... And on TV I remember a little, she is even shorter in person, or I am taller.

- Okay girls, I will explain in detail your workout because I have a mission to do in this time, as I will not visit you so often I hope to see you progressing, starting that after you take water and wait about 5 minutes for the food to go down a little, you will run in this open field and you will do 50 laps, before that it is good to always stretch, after all it is good to have flexibility. After the 50 laps you are going to do 20 push-ups and 20 sit-ups, and then 50 squats. After that you will have finished your warm up and then the real training begins, you will pull a magic monolith that changes weight for half an hour, each one of you, let me show you how it will work - she said using her wand and making a giant cube appear, and then she put a broom in chains with that thing.

Laura gets on the broom and makes that huge cube start to move, it must have been quite heavy just by the impressive force she is making, I noticed that it also moved quite a bit, she stayed a little bit of nothing forcing and walked enough to lift dirt and even walk the same as the length of the cube, she is quite strong.

- I didn't get that much... I think it was about 4 meters, but that's because I don't want to get too heavy pushing, I think you can reach 7 meters in 30 minutes, remembering that the more you push, the heavier it gets because besides pushing this cube you take the earth around it, this is a great training for the shoulder that you will need to withstand the G-force that running brooms do... Whenever I was running I would see runners complaining of shoulder and neck pain because of the G-force, but it was always because they didn't do a workout... So it is very important that you practice, train hard, because an excellent physical conditioning will always be vital for races and even to endure after races, after all the worst is not in the race is after the race to feel the effects on the body, if you are not conditioned, it is almost two weeks of intense pain all over the body and having to rest without being able to train and this leaves you at a disadvantage to run the next race, so do not be relaxed. After pulling this cube you can go to the wind tunnel part of the training, where it is very explanatory, one of you is going to use a gust of wind spell on the one behind who is going to be taking the strong wind currents on her body. Another training that I recommend to do when it is warmer is swimming, but not around here, because the waters of Arcuturus are dangerous, but in other waters, the water also helps a lot to get the body used to the sensation of thrust... Finally you will have the training in an obstacle course that I planned myself, the more laps you do in half an hour... Anyway, these are the workouts I thought for you... Now go! - She said, whistling for us, so we went to stretch before starting the race, after all I didn't want to feel any cramps, stretching is easy, I was already used to do it because I'm always helping my grandmother and great-grandmother with the work on the farm and they always tell me to stretch before any activity. That is until Laura whistles again.

I quickly ran out and Croix was in front of me, I just stared at her running around in those sports pants and looking at her buttocks... I just kept the image of her in the shower in my head... Ahhh Chariot... Concentrate... I even decided to increase the pace to avoid being behind Croix and with that I was running side by side with Croix, but Maddie was much ahead of us, she could run with a lot of speed, this way she will get tired when she finishes the 50 laps, I just know that Croix is at the same skill level as me and that is very good... She runs quite well, I thought that even if she took those things, it would put her at a disadvantage... Well, I will continue without saying much because I want to see how long I can last without getting tired, it reminds me a lot of when I used to play in the field as a child, playing soccer with my friends... It was kind of fun... Croix soon starts to increase the pace and slowly passed me, I decided to continue so as not to get tired, I noticed that she was really trying her best to give it her all and soon I had that vision again, but I decided to just focus on the race without thinking about Croix's body... That's it Chariot Du Nord... Focus on the race, don't focus on Croix's body... Come on Chariot, you are running to become a runner, that doesn't make any sense but okay.

50 laps later...

I am dead tired, it can't be that Laura really trained like this and this is just the warm up, how can she stand all this, even Maddie is sitting on the grass a bit out of breath, she who finished first and did about 3 laps around me... She who is used to it is tired, who will say me and Croix, after this there is still more... Ahhhh... I throw myself on the grass right now and lay down tired, until I notice that the sun made a shadow and when I go to see there were two white hills covering the sun that were in fact Laura's breasts that soon after bent down and faced me with a coach look.

- Come on girl, you are going to be a slacker, this is just the beginning, you need to get used to it, nobody said it is easy to become a professional broom runner - said Laura while me and the girls were almost dead lying on that grass? She didn't get tired with all that? Gee, I thought these races were tiring enough, but what a complicated train.

- Wow, I never said it was easy, but did you really pull all that out? - I ask Laura, who keeps laughing.

- This and a little more, when you get used to it, it all becomes routine, in the beginning it is hard, but after you get used to it, it is quite easy, I think you should practice a lot because next year I intend to get contracts for the British Broom Racing Tour for you and Croix, if you do well, you can even go up to the World Broom Racing Championship and become great champions, I am not just training runners who win races, but future champions ... Now without further ado... Come on, get up and start your push-ups and sit-ups, it's much worse to rest than to feel everything - she said and I started to turn around to do the push-ups... Ahhhhhh... The race had already finished with me, now this... What a painful train, people... Not even working in the fields could I push so hard.

And I kept looking at Maddie and she was doing the push-ups already, she is way ahead of us, Croix and I were just about to start, I just felt tired, I started the first one, the second one, but the third one I fell on the floor and soon Laura came to my side.

- Are you tired? Have some water and try to keep going... I don't want to push you both to an unreachable limit, otherwise you will end up sore tomorrow and I don't want you to be out for almost a week because of training, I mixed some with an invigorating potion.

Some push-ups, sit-ups and squats...

I managed to hold on until everyone... Whew... That's good, but my body is already asking for help from the amount of force I put on it, and that's because we weren't even pushing that hard... According to Laura, I can imagine how she must be a witch beyond our capacity just by the training she goes through, until she makes the cube transport itself, the train from pushing with the broom... I soon go to Maddie because I wanted to know how she was so much tougher than us.

- Maddie why are you so much stronger and more skilled than us wai? - I ask her, who was panting a bit and taking some water, and she answers me quickly.

- I have trained before, I am used to it, my sister Lucy was a runner and she trained me from childhood to be the fastest runner, although her intention was to be a runner who would beat Laura McLaren, because in her mind the rivalry was not extinguished, so much so that she was very angry to hear that she retired from broom racing... I am a test runner for Lancaster, so I have a sense of what it is like and I have trained before, you have never noticed how I always leave early in the morning, that is my daily training, of course it is not at the level that Laura McLaren puts us, because that is already exaggeration - Maddie said until Laura appears in front of both of us with her arms crossed.

- You are quite an expert in the World Broom Racing Championship, so show us the training on how to do it? I know the real one is not that heavy girl, but this is to be anyone, a racer that runs in the middle to the end of the grid, that fights for points, I am giving you training for a real champion? But that is not the point... I think you are pretty exhausted, so today you will just push a rock, next week I will be back - Laura said to us, which I am kind of relieved about, after all it is just pushing a rock? What's so bad about that.

Half an hour later...

Ahhhhhh... What a horrible pain in my shoulders and I had to be the first one... I never thought I would feel something this strong... I feel as if my shoulders want to come out of me... Ahhhh... Until something starts to beep, it was in Laura's pocket, her cell phone... Well... At least I must have walked many meters... Laura managed 4 meters in a few minutes, I must have managed many.

- Training time is over, you still have class, Croix and Madeleine are excused for today... As for Chariot... You managed to walk 26... - Said Croix which cheered me up a lot, I managed to walk 26 meters ... Wow... - Centimeters, not bad girl, you still have a lot to improve, I imagine that you must have a strong pain in those shoulders after so much training ... Anyway, I'm going, you guys enjoy your day, I'll come back next week but earlier, I noticed that I didn't have enough time to train - Laura said, breaking my hopes... I only moved 26 centimeters of this train and I could swear that I had pushed it for a long distance... That sucks... Until Croix interrupted Laura.

- Then come on weekends, or after school, so you have plenty of time, we only have an hour and a half to practice here before school starts - Croix says to Laura, who nods and I jump with my hand over her mouth.

- What Croix meant was that you can come here on weekdays before class - I say, trying to hide what Croix had said, she gave me the idea of pulling my body even tighter.

- I heard you Chariot, I will continue with my plan to train you, only now it will be on weekends that I don't race, I am still in the World Broom Endurance Championship, so there will be weekends that I will be racing and others that I won't... Well it was fun training you guys, I will be back then next Saturday... Bye girls and have a good class - she said flying off and saying goodbye to us.

We had to wait for Maddie to take a shower and then I went with Croix and I didn't even notice anything, we were just in a hurry to change and get to class... But unfortunately we were almost late and we got a scolding from teacher Finnelan, the whole class was filled with pain... Ahhh... I could only distract them by thinking about Croix... Am I falling in love with her? I don't know... I hope not... Or I hope so, she is such a nice and nice girl.

POV Narrator:

Laura's training was what she could deliver efficiently, and after training the girls, she found Rosemary at home talking about the possible plan of Daryl that involved poisoning Bernadette, to give her a slow death, what made McLaren's concern change, and besides the cure for the curse, she needs to find a cure for the possible poison that Daryl intends to use on her sister. In Luna Nova things were pretty painful, with the girls feeling pain all day long in all parts of their bodies and having to rest a lot, but they would make sure to continue the training, especially Chariot and Croix who saw it as a way to get closer, even more so because Du Nord started to have some feelings for Meridies who felt even more embarrassed with some of her friend's moves.

A nerd girl who wasn't always like this, when she was born she was a boy and the whole family pressured her to be a "real man" in one of the oldest families of witches in history, as well as the Cavendish family also lived through a period of intolerance with any LGBT issue mainly because Croix wanted to follow the path of being a girl, but everyone in the family thought she was just a gay boy who dresses up as a girl or that she would automatically become a girl who would like men, When the time came, Croix tried to use the natural talent of Meridies in technology to follow the life alone, at 14 years old she started the ritual to become a girl and moved to the United Kingdom, deciding to choose the name Croix because she loved the reference to the Southern Cross constellation due to her last name Meridies.
