Truculent Too [girlxgirl]

Chapter 1

"See you tomorrow Kaideen!", a kid about my age waved before I left my study building.

I'm fully aware that all the kids in my study are holographic. Mom programmed them to keep me company. That's only during study time though. They can't really play outside unless it's night time. Which is why I sleep mostly in the daytime.

Both of my mothers are working now so I'm alone here. I'm not allowed to leave our house but that okay because we have a lot of land.

I walk through the house and am greeted by the holo maids. I grab an apple as a snack and change into some play clothes.

This is pretty much my daily routine. I study, play, sleep, eat. Then my mothers get home and we have dinner and talk about our days. Mom works as an engineer and Mama is a shop owner. She sells clothes that she makes herself.

Today is my eleventh birthday. I didn't ask for anything but Mothers always know what I want. It's because they read the data from the holo students.

"Kaideen, sir.", I hadn't noticed the moon come up. I look up at the holo maid who had come to retrieve me. "It's dinner time."

I stood up, rejecting the hand she had offered me. I'm covered in dirt anyways. My mothers don't like it when I come to the dinner table dirty so I run to my room to shower and change.

As I walk into the dining room I nearly bump into Mother carrying out something that smells delicious from the kitchen. "Hey Mom!"

She raised an eyebrow, "I mean good evening Mother."

"That's my child. Good evening!", she put down the food on the table and gave me a hug.

"Well save some for me too.", I heard Mama from behind us.

"Mama!", I ran to hug her.

"Hmph and you say you're not his favorite.",

I put out my arm.

"Aww", Mama said as Mom joined our hug.

"Both Mom and Mama are my favorite!"

Mom laughed, "Alright everyone to the table time to eat."

We sat at the table and each talked about our day. Mama sold a personal record of clothes today. Mom is still working on the newest holographic display system that will be hitting the market in two to three years.

"How was your day?", Mom asks.

"It was okay. Someone in my class wanted to play tonight but I don't feel like it. I told Annie that I want hair dye for my birthday..."

"Why's that?", Mama questions.

"So that I can make my hair a little darker, more even. It's really bright.", my hair color is like fire while the whole class, all the maids, and my mothers have pale bland hair colors. Mom's hair is black and Mama's hair is brown. Their eyes look very bland too. While my eyes are almost completely black with whitish silver triangular pupils. "I don't look anything like you guys".

"Is that what you want? To look like us?", Mom says in an apprehensive matter.

"I mean it's not really that, I just want to look less strange in comparison to everyone else."

"You are unique. Not strange. Be proud of it", Mama says in between bites.

"Renee...", Mom says clenching her teeth.

"Don't worry. That's it. I won't say any more."

They seem like they're hiding something, "What's going on?"

Mom sighs, "Well... You are eleven now so it's about time you make a very important decision." Mom takes out a bottle of pills, "You curriculum has introduced you to the subject of woman and man. You know that men don't exist anymore, right?"

"Yes", I answer hesitantly, where is this going?

"Mama is a woman. I, on the other hand, have the same genitals as you. I only look like Mama because I've been taking these pills since I was your age. Without the pills I'd be a man."

"...but you had to take them because society is only made of women."

"Exactly. So I'm giving you a choice. You can be like me and take these or..."

"You can be unique, a man.", Mama finished.

"Do I have to decide now?"

"You have two to four years to decide"

"I'll think about it."

"Okay good then. Cake time!"

"Yay cake!!"

-------------------------------------------------------------

After the party I run outside. Farther than usual. So the holo maids can't find me.

I stop as my foot slushes in the damp dirt.

"There was a pond back here?", I say while sitting down.

I stare at my reflection. If I turn into a girl I can leave, probably. Can't I just dress like a girl? I pull the hair dye I was gifted out of my pocket and stare at it. People will hate me if I don't change...

Just then I hear a rustle in the bushes. I instantly stand up, frightened. Is it a wild animal?!

I clench my fists bracing myself for whatever's going to appear.

"Hello?", I say, approaching the bush.

"Hello!", a head pops out and I jump back.

I stare, speechless. A girl has snuck into the yard... and she's seen me.
