The interior of Lucy's Brain, as of today:
Ball ball ball ball ball ball ball ball ball.
This wasn't in fact because my ear was being fucked roundly by Ra's massive, ludicrously meaty robo-dick and my brain was being
mashed
into the form of a happy fuckslut. That'd be absurd, if that was happening, then my only thought would be
cock cock cock cock cock cock.
Duh. You dummy. No, it was because...
The fucking
Ball
was happening. The Gala, Grand Galloping Or Otherwise, the big shindig, the hootenanny, the hoedown, the whatzitbop where all the spinnadoos and dresses were going to happen at. Like, and even some real words too. And I felt woefully, hilariously, stupidly unprepared, even as Abby stroked my hair with a comb, and Georgette paced back and forth before me.
"And you enter the room by..."
"Waiting by the master of ceremonies for them to call my name and my ticket and if I lose the ticket, I ask the MC, the miggidy mack daddy-" I blushed as Georgette shot a glare at me. "...I ask him for a new ticket. I also never call him the miggedy mack daddy. No matter how much I want to jump jump."
"Honestly, Lucy, you will be the end of me..." Georgette muttered, continuing her pacing as Abby giggled softly.
"I apologize in advance for mucking everything up," I said, biting my lip. "Auuhhh, I know nothing!"
Georgette turned to face me. Her hands went to her hips. "Chassé step?" Her voice had the harsh snap-crack of command.
I blinked, sitting up. "Tems levé, right foot forward, take weight." I stood, demonstrating, my leggings shuffling around my hips. "Following foot closes behind leading foot, thirdy-oop, take weight, leading foot extends again, woo-oop, step close step
hop
!" I shuffled, then twirled. "And then twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!" I spun around and Abby, who had remained on the bed, laughed and clapped her hands together.
"And the proper method to dissuade a gentleman or gentlelady from their flirtations using the fan?" Georgette said, her voice still stern.
"Drawing through the hand, if they're a huge dingus. Twirling in the left if they're just annoying, drawn across the forehead if I just want them to chill a tiny bit," I said. Then I gasped. "Oh my gosh. All those words you said actually stuck in my brain! You're amazing, Georgette!"
"Well." Georgette harrumphed. "You are a...passable student."
"EEE!" I squealed. "Can I hug you?"
"I...suppose..." Georgette grumbled, then flushed as I flung my arms around her, hugging her tightly. Georgette patted my head -- then, muttering. "And, of course, we need to get you a
dress
and run you through all the steps while in a proper dress." She nodded to herself, her cheeks glowing even more red as she tried to ignore me muttering under my breath 'hug hug hug hug.'
"It has been rather silly to see a girl in boy's clothes doing girl dances," Abby said, nodding. "Normally, when a girl in boy's clothes does the dances, she does the boy's steps."
"Yes...well, you...know, a proper lady does not narrate everything she does, Young Miss," Georgette grumbled, pushing me away.
"Lucy gasped, pushed away by her stern, yet loving mentor," I muttered, sotto voce. "And yet, within her whirring clockwork heart, her coil boiler was bubbling with intense emotions..."
"I am not a tea kettle!" Georgette declared.
"So, where do we get a dress? Go down to Target, buy some dresses?" I asked, curiously. "but it's a Space Target? ...or whatever the British version of Target is, cause I don't know thanks to me being an American and, thus, completely oblivious to all things that aren't directly in my line of sight." I nodded, sagely. "Did you know God created wars to teach American kids geography, and it still doesn't work cause if you held a gun to my head, I still couldn't tell you
where
Afghanistan is." I threw up my hands.
"It's on Earth, innit it?" Abby suggested, cheerfully.
"Your...Americas invaded Afghanistan? Whatever for?" Georgette asked.
"I dunno," I said, shrugging. "...well, I mean, I
do
know, but it's depressing and complicated."
"As many things from your world seem to be," Georgette said, then shook her head. "And no, we do not go to a...Target...be it in space or not. Rather, we have called for a Beatrice."
My eyes widened. "Is she a giant bee?"
Georgette put her finger to her temple. "No."
"Dang," I muttered.
"Beatrices are machines who are handle sewing, fitting, the construction of clothing," Georgette said. Seeing my mouth open, she cut me of: "Yes. They are..." She looked to the ceiling. "Aesthetically pleasing."
"Well, yeah, so is a sunset, but I don't wanna make sweet love to an orange sky," I muttered to Abby, just loudly enough to be sure that Georgette could hear me -- while Abby giggled uncontrollably.
"Miss!" She paused. "Beatrices are very...ah..." She made a vague gesture, then kicked one of her legs under her skirts.
"Legs for days?" I asked.
Abby blushed, and nodded.
"
This
Beatrice is not going to be under your direct service," Georgette said, her voice sternly warningly in a sternly warningly fashion. "She is a freelancer of sorts, some kind of..." She flipped her hand. "Novelist in her free time. Not that I've ever read a thing written by her." She sniffed, very intently and I grinned.
"Novelist, huh?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows at her.
"Recall lesson five?" Georgette asked, narrowing her eyes at me.
"Yup!" I said. "Repress your gag reflex by-"
"Ladies do not
wiggle
their eyebrows suggestively!" Georgette barked.

I was practicing sword work with Ra and chatting about history while Jenny fiddled with one of her horses when The Beatrice arrived. Ra was still drilling me on the parries and foot work, but she seemed to be fairly pleased by my progress. Ra nodded and then stepped backwards as I lowered my arm, grinning cheerfully at the burly Napoleonic war-robot.
"So...I gotta ask..." I said.
"Not today," Ra said, grunting at the base of her throat. "If a strange machine came and found us in the middle of an indescrtion, it'd be rather mortifying for you, wouldn't it?"
"Hah!" I said. "It is here where I must reveal to you...I
also
have a humiliation fetish!"
"Hurm." Ra nodded. "Noted."
"That's a joke, I..." I said, blushing as my dick got nice and hard -- but I was noticing, as the girljuice flowed through my veins with thicker and more potent frequency, not only did my blood turn pink from the girliness of it...my...hardons changed too. I absolutely could pound nails whenever the need called for it. But when I got all squirmy and turned on, my dick would kinda...surge, then sag back, then surge, then sag back. Rather than like in the olden days, when I was without even a single droplet of the girlification juice, where my hardon would just...surge and
stick
like a really awkward dinner guest...now, my girldick got hard in a more tentative...dare I say...girly way?
I dunno.
It was weird, and I didn't know if this was true of all other trans ladies. I'd have to pin some down and ravish their nubile bodies. Then, like, ask them, once we were enjoying the post sex cigarettes.
This was why I got hard. Then soft. But I was still turned on like crazy.
"...okay, maybe it's not a joke..." I whispered.
Ra chuckled.
"Still, I was going to ask something." I scratched my chin with my finger, thinking.
A puttering whiring sound filled the air. We turned and saw that a smoking, hissing horse was juddering its way towards the house, throwing up a fine pall of white smoke behind it as it moved forward, rocked backwards, then stopped, then buzzed forward again, then stopped. I saw that this horse, unlike our flying horses, had wheels. It was being ridden by a machine in a green dress and a broad brimmed hat -- and as she struggled to keep her horse under her control, I snapped my fingers, my brain sparking.
"Ah! Ah! That was it! That was my question: Why the
fuck
do you call your zipadoos horses? That's not a horse. That's zoomer!" I pointed at the horse that Jenny was working on. "A horse, in my book, has four legs, a mind full of evil, a belly full of wicked intentions, and a tail made of spite and hate."
"That's why we don't use them anymore," Ra said, nodding. "But the name stuck."
"That's just linguistically lazy," I said. "Why didn't you call them the Fantabulous Contraption of Mechanical Conveyance?"
The horse that the green dress wearing machine was riding snarled a few more times, then came to a halt before us. The machine tilted her hat back and oh my god, she was just, utterly beautiful. In a kind of giraffey sort of way. Her neck was long and elegant, and her face was tall and narrow. Her arms were equally long, spindly and graceful, and her fingers continued the trick. Then when she swung free and stood, I found she was almost as tall as Ra, but rather than being built like a Terminator, she was built like...can I say giraffe again? Cause that's what I'm thinking. And not, like, a real giraffe, but the anthro giraffes that porn artists draw on twitter.
"Is this the young miss I've been asked to make a dress for?" Beatrice asked as she walked over, looking me over. "I see that your figure is coming in quite nicely." She blinked. "Is that rude? Was that forward?"
"Uh,
yes
," I said, putting my hands on my hips, scowling. "You should have said:
Dannnng
girl, you got mad titty!"
Ra smacked the back of my head.
