Ruin was walking with a pep in her step as Solar and Eclipse followed behind. Ruin said a new shop opened that had a WIDE variety of dresses.

Eclipse and Solar came out fairly recently, both coming out only a week apart.

"Um... Ruin?" Solar spoke up,

"Yeah?" They asked, turning around.

"Are you... sure this is okay?" She asked, Ruin frowned as she stopped.

"What do you mean?" Ruin asked,

"Well... No offense to Eclipse or I... but we don't... look like you... will the dresses even fit us right? What if people yell at us? What if-?!" Solar knew she was spiraling, but Ruin placed one of their hands on Solar's shoulder and the other on Eclipse's.

"It's perfectly okay... You seem to forget I was in your situations once. Being made a male, the discomfort that came with it, heck, no one even cared or was considerate enough to use my pronouns." Ruin explained, "But then I came to this dimension! Everyone treated me with kindness, care, and respect. I could be the woman I was meant to be, or... kind of a woman."

Solar and Eclipse smiled,

"Thanks Ruin... I guess we didn't want to ruin your... image." Eclipse said, she avoided eye contact.

"I feel like I should laugh at the 'ruin' slip up, but I won't." She said and cleared her throat, "Eclipse, Solar. You're both women, always have been and always will be. If it changes that's fine. You're women to me, to Moon, to Sun, to Lunar, to Earth, I can go on."

"You will not 'ruin my image', I might have transitioned physically already, but that does not make me more feminine than you two." Ruin hugged both of them, Solar hugged back while Eclipse took a second to process.

Then they parted.

"Now... DRESSES!" Ruin cheered. Solar and Eclipse, with renewed confidence, smiled and followed after Ruin to the dress shop

It was fancy inside, Solar was in awe of the pretty place. Eclipse was looking around at the many clothing items, Ruin spoke up.

"I made an appointment to get the dresses adjusted for you two, so pick out some good dresses and I'll get us checked in." Ruin said, then they all parted.

Ruin walked to the front desk, "Appointment under Ruin Celestial?"

The woman there blinked, "Oh, I didn't..."

"Hm?" Ruin tilted her head,

"I was... expecting a guy. Sorry, ma'am!" She said, "The adjustments are for Eclipse and Solar Celestial?"

"Yes, they're over there." Ruin pointed over to the two, who were admiring the light fabrics and it seemed Eclipse already picked some out.

"They're beautiful! I'm sure they'll like the dresses." The woman said,

"I'll be sure to pass it on." Ruin said, they were glad this place was so open minded.

"I'll give my boss a call and he'll welcome you all." She said,

"Thanks, miss!" Ruin said,

"Call me Mary!" She said, Ruin nodded and walked off as Mary made the call.

Solar and Eclipse met Ruin halfway, dresses on one of their arms.

"Ooo! Orange would look great on you both! May I think the bracelets Sun bought you two will look great with them!" Ruin said, clapping their hands.

They then sat down on the couch, it was soft and comfortable. Solar was humming in delight while Eclipse was more quiet.

"Oh, by the way... the front desk lady said you two were beautiful!" Ruin said, Solar blushed and smiled while Evlipse covered her face and hid her blush.

"Okay! Time to meet the ladies!" A man's voice said, Ruin perked up and smiled at the two.

The man came around the corner and smiled, "Which one of you will go first?"

"I will!" Solar said, then her heart dropped as the man looked confused and then... something crossed his face as she stood there.

"What is this?" The man asked,

"This is me taking my sisters to get dresses!" Ruin said, trying hard to not have venom in her tone.

"Sisters? You call these males your sisters?"

"Excuse me?" Eclipse asked, standing up with a glare.

"This is a shop for women. Only women. No homos or cross dressers."

"We are women." Solar said, crossing her arms.

"REAL women." The man said, Mary had wide eyes full of horror.

Eclipse seemed to get angrier with each passing word, Ruin got up next and walked over.

"I am fine with you being old fashioned, sir. But you don't have to accept us-."

"Are you even a woman?" The man asked.

"I doubt you know what a real woman is." Ruin started, Eclipse and Solar froze and knew full well what was going to happen.

"Women are powerful, women are brave. It took a lot of courage for my sisters to come here. They're not 'cross dressers', they're not 'homos'. Just because they were mistaken as male, does NOT make them less of women."

"I've seen real men before, I'm not looking at one right now. I'm looking at a COWARD. An IGNORANT BIGOT." Ruin hissed, "I know their presence threatens you, but we fought to get this far. YOU didn't."

Ruin turned to Solar and Eclipse, "Let's go, girls."

Before they fully left, Eclipse turned to the man, "Watch your neck."

Now they were sitting in a cafe, Ruin treated Eclipse and Solar to muffins. But both were just picking at them.

"I'm sorry." Ruin started, sighing, "I should've made sure that place was trans friendly..."

"It's fine Ruin, it's not your fault that bigot got us both riled up." Solar said,

"Kinda is though..." Ruin said, resting their chin in their hand.

"Ruin." Eclipse said, taking Ruin's other hand, "You stood up for us, that took guts. You wanted to treat us to something, that's sweet. Not everyone has a mark of transphobic above their head or safe, you did nothing wrong."

Solar took Ruin and Eclipse's hands, "Wanna keep looking after we eat? It's only 10 AM."

"Yeah, that'd be nice." Ruin said, smiling. Eclipse nodded.

Things were going to be okay.
