Evelyn walked out of the bathroom, feeling more feminine than she ever had before. That binder thing worked amazingly well, and she couldn't see her dick at all. It was uncomfortable, sure, but she could put up with it if she looked like this.

"You decent in there?" Maia called.

"Yeah," Evelyn called back, and the door opened. Maia walked through, holding two wigs in her hands.

"I have a wig cap, too, if you want it. These are kind of itchy. Which one do you want?"

One was long, curly, and dark blue, almost back. It looked like the sort of thing she'd wear her "punk lesbian mafia" outfit with, so she picked the other one: a blonde wig which came down to her shoulders in soft waves.

"You want help putting it on?" Maia offered, and Evelyn nodded.

"How do you know all this?" Evelyn wondered as Maia fixed the wig into her head.

"You know my older brother, Charlie?"

"The ginger one that looks like a Weasley?"

"Yeah. He's a drag queen. You should see him perform, he's amazing. I help him with his makeup and shit sometimes, it's good fun. That's how I knew what to look for when getting you this stuff."

"That was not the answer I was expecting," Evelyn admitted.

"No, it's not the sort of thing you go round telling people about. But I'm friends with a lot of the drag queens at the club he works at, and two of them are trans girls, but they love performing. You have to meet them, they're amazing. Kayla's a bit shy, though."

"I'd love to. Wait, you can get into the club?"

"Yeah, but the bartenders aren't allowed to serve me alcohol. They all know me there, Charlie has worked there for a few years. He's performing tonight, we can go if you want?"

"I- sure."

"Are you going to wear this? You'll look completely different with makeup, I promise."

"I don't think I can... I'm scared. What if someone recognises and I get outed? And I still sound like a guy..."

"It's a gay club, loads of people there are trans. The bartender who'll be there tonight, Jonathan, is nonbinary, and the bouncer, Logan, is trans. He's tiny, but he's very intimidating."

"I- okay, I'll do it, but if you leave me during the night I'll stab you."

"Fair dos," Maia said, and pulled Evelyn into a high. "You look beautiful, babe."

"Thanks, Mai," Evelyn told her, hugging her back. She definitely had a crush, and the urge to kiss Maia was almost overwhelming. But she had Ollie, and she wasn't going to jeopardise their friendship.

When they pulled apart, Evelyn swore she saw Maia look at her lips, but she didn't say anything. She was probably imagining things in her love-crazed state.

"Makeup?" Maia asked.

"Yeah."

Maia took Evelyn's hand again, leading her back to her room, even though Evelyn knew the way and it was just across the hall. Maia didn't let go of her hand as she bent over to pick up the two bags of makeup. Evelyn hadn't even looked at the rest of the clothes.

"Do you want to wear that tonight?" Maia asked. Evelyn shook her head.

"Is there anything better?"
