After a long day at Mode, with Wilhelmina plotting every move and Danny pushing her away, Alexis wanted to relax. Her heels clacked up to her hotel suite and the moment she entered, a long sigh escaped her. She poured herself champagne, and retired to the couch. She sat thinking; she was thinking that everything she feared would happen happened. Her father hated her, as she already knew, and Daniel was just like him. Mum was her only excitement, her only happiness. So Alexis pulled out her phone and dialed; however it went straight to voicemail.

"You've reached Claire Meade, and I can't answer the phone right now, I'm a bit busy at the moment-" She sounded quite drunk when she recorded this. "- Here is the beep and I hope you know what to do-" she whispered the last lines, "-…leave your name and number…"

"Hi mum, it's Alexis. It's been a long day today, and I know I've already seen you a few times today, I just, well, I miss you. Call me back. Thanks. Love you."

Alexis sat uncomfortably for another minute or two, before her mind went to a bad place… She was alone. The reason she wanted this, was to feel comfortable with herself, but now no one else was. Alexis was bored, which was in no way what she wanted. As a woman she wanted to go to clubs and flirt, and be a blonde who definitely had more fun! This was not what she planned…

On an impulse, Alexis ran to her closet; pulled out a sleek sapphire suit and a pair of smart heels. On her way out she grabbed a pack of cigarettes and her laptop. Even though her cell said it was 11:30, she needed a distraction from her loneliness, and took a town car back to the ever familiar building.

As the elevator dinged, signaling her arrival at Mode, her phone buzzed an alarm: Time to change her hormone patch again. So she walked through the still white and bright halls of Mode to the ladies room. As she pulled out the patch, applying it carefully, she heard a cough. It startled Alexis thoroughly, thinking she was alone. The door opened and the gorgeous receptionist, who seemed to being wearing all Mode's clothes, walked out to the sinks, where Alexis was standing.

Alexis was debating with herself, although she knew she wanted to be woman since she was young, she was still confused about her preference. She didn't sleep with all those models for no reason, she was attracted to them of course. However as a woman she planned to date men. She WAS attracted to the receptionist though, and it would improve her night greatly to get to know her… What was her name again? "Hello," Alexis said with a renewed confidence.

"Oh hey, Alex- … -is! I'm not here, like, taking clothes or anything if you were suspicious, and Marc's not here either, I'm all by my self … working, over-time!"

"Don't worry, the clothes in here are tempting, among other things… What did you say your name was?"

"Amanda!"

"Well hello, Amanda. Nice to meet you, would you like to go out somewhere. You must be tired from all the over-time… Let's go out for a drink?"

"Well, um, that's sweet, and you're super hot-" Alexis laughed, "-and you chose a great body to become… But I'm straight, and not interested. I'm sorry."

"Right, well then, I'll be off-" As Alexis was turning Amanda caught her arm, pulled her towards her, and kissed her full on. Both women's soft hands were entangled in the others golden hair, Amanda pulled away after a moment.

"Wanted to see… You're a good kisser, I'm sure you'll find someone tonight. But in the mean time, want to accompany me to the closets and help me find something for a clubbing tonight? In fact, let's have a girls night, want to come with me to clubs, it'll be so much fun!"

Intrigued, Alexis agreed, and they left to find sexy outfits for the night. After nearly half an hour of trying on clothes, Marc came in yelling "I got our booze, and a dozen donuts for you like you requested, I'm ready to gay out to dance!" A stunned look came across Amanda's face, she laughed… "Marc! Ha-ha, I don't eat carbs, silly!" And once Marc noticed Alexis changing, he rushed to Amanda.

"But Mandy… " He whispered, "I want to get my dance on tonight, gay it up, that's OUR thing…"

"Well so does he, she, Alex-is!"

Alexis turned around wearing a silky green dress with the most intricate bead and lace designs along the low collar.

"Fine… So, Alexis! I hear we're all going to have girls night tonight, YAY!"

A little skeptical, Alexis left with them about another half hour later. However she realized that she wasn't alone, she could have the life she wanted. Now for dad and Danny though, that's not what she wanted…
