Keisha was not having a good day.
You could totally argue she wasn't having a good year. You could even argue she wasn't having a good life. A little bit melodramatic, sure, but her whole life had been leading up to this point:
She was but a week away from her prom and she had no one to go with.
And it wasn't like she had just waited for a boy to ask her. Oh no, she knew the futility of that! So instead, she had gone and asked herself. She had of course asked the hot ones first, but those she didn't intimidate by initializing the talking were already spoken for the prom. It was a wash, but it was a quick wash so she'd been able to brush it off as she then went down the list of those she wouldn't mind going with anyway.
And when that had turned up nothing, she went down the list of those she WOULD mind going out with but would, under desperation, go with anyway. For some god forsaken reason, even that list had turned up squat.
Feeling more than a mite desperate, she'd even asked the dykes!
But, as was the case with the boys, all the ones that were going had a date anyway.
She thought about outright whoring herself out for a date, promising actual sex in exchange to have someone come with her but at that point she just had to ask: What was the point?
So yes her whole life had been leading up to this, the day where she had to admit to herself...that she might not be pretty.
At 18 years and 5 foot 6 inches, she wasn't exactly breaking the average curve in height in either direction. At B sized breasts, she obviously wasn't flat but it was a near thing. Her hips were about the same size as her shoulders, her ass wasn't very big, her thighs and legs were all sticks and her hair was a bird's nest! Her face was plain, even with all the makeup she put on! Her eyelashes were short, her nose wasn't large enough to frame her face but neither was it small enough to be cute, her lips were pencil thin and her eyes were a bit small.
She was average in almost all regards, and below average in the ones that she was not. About the only thing she stood out in a good way was her skin color and eye color: She was onix black. Like, she was THE blackest girl at school. And given it didn't have any blemishes, Keisha was actually rather proud of it. And then there were her eyes: They were yellow.
She liked to say "golden" but it was rare enough as it was. And it was just about the only thing that allowed her to look at herself in the mirror.
For years, she had tried to ignore the fact. To wear pretty things that accentuated things she didn't really have, put makeup that worked with the few assets she did have, and then try to make up for everything else with denial.
And here, and now, she could do nothing except admit it hadn't worked.
She just wasn't pretty. The prom would happen and she would miss it and life would go on. Except it would go on with the truth chasing her all the way.
She just wasn't pretty and, sigh, she just didn't know what to do anymore.
"Keisha, honey, what's going on?" Her mother asked from outside her bedroom, knocking before she entered.
Keisha turned to look her mother with envious and accusing eyes.
Why couldn't she be like her mom? Why hadn't she inherited everything from her?
At 6 foot 1 inches, the 36 year old Rena was a stunner. Like, Hollywood actress stunner. Super model stunner, even.
Her hair was done in an afro that simply stood perfectly round of it's own accord. Her hips were wide enough to knock doors of their hinges, her ass so huge that she could clap them if she twerked, her thighs so meaty that she could crush melons if she wanted to, and her tits so bountiful that they were the size of Keisha's head! Each!
Her skin was the right shade of black to go perfectly with red lipstick, unlike Keisha who HAD to use purple if she wanted to look anything approaching good, her eyes were almost like that of a disney character, and her lashes were like a lush forest of reeds. Her lips were pillows that were just short of looking bee stung, with a short perky nose that was the cutest thing anyone had ever seen on a woman.
Her face had sleek lines that all lead to either her mouth or her eyes, making her glow when she smiled. Her stomach was perfectly flat to go along with these assets, as if life weren't unfair enough, and she combined it all with the poise of authority: Keisha's mother walked regally, as if she owned the world.
It made her positively striking. She only had one single flaw, and it was one that wasn't noticeable: She had donger. Like a man, except she also had all the bits of a woman too. A hermaphrodite they were called. A futanari in more fetishistic circles.
And she managed to do all that despite being a single mother! How fair was that?
"Mom, why couldn't you have given me your body?" Keisha whined.
Rena just quirked her eyebrow and walked over to her bed, sitting down on one of it's corners. Keisha noticed with another wave of jealousy that even this took a great portion of her bed.
"Now, I know there is no way my Keisha just propositioned me," The black older woman tsked, "So what's this about?"
"Ma, do you always have to make shit awkward?!" Keisha whined.
"Well, to answer your question, I did give you my body for all of 9 months," Rena proudly said.
"...I meant why didn't I inherit your body and you know it," Keisha replied, pointing a finger at her.
"Baby that's rude," Rena replied, knocking her hand down, "And what's wrong with your body? I happen to think you look absolutely scrumptious!"
"Well," Keisha said as she tried to not die from parental embarrassment, "It doesn't look like yours."
"Of course not honey," Rena replied, "You took after your daddy. Ain't nothing wrong with that."
"Ma," Keisha replied with long standing suffering, "If my father looked anything like...this, then I have no idea why you had me at all!"
"Well honey," Rena said with a salacious smile, "I have a thing for weakness you see."
"What?" Keisha said, not believing she was having this conversation.
"He was so pathetic, so out of his depth~" Rena went on as she recalled a great time, "That I simply had to go out with him! It was to the prom I believe."
Given her age and her mother's age, the dates worked out, "Really?" Keisha said despite herself.
"Oh yes, he was so surprised that I would give him the time of day," Rena said, "And then, when we were there, he was clumsy! So at a loss as to what to do with a woman! He looked so bad I simply had to take him then and there!"
"You had me in a prom? No, wait, I don't want to hear anymore!" Keisha screamed.
"Oh you are a grown girl," Rena said with a roll of her eyes, "You can listen to this."
"...so then why isn't dad with you?" Keisha grudgingly asked after she had settled down.
"Insecurities mostly," Rena replied with a sigh, "He made himself scarce before he found out I was pregnant. He didn't know how he 'bagged' me and his poor self-esteem did the rest. I haven't dated since, well, that is the sort of thing I am attracted to."
A long moment between daughter and mother passed as Keisha digested that.
"I suppose my problems aren't big compared to that," Keisha sighed, her mother once again winning in something over her.
