Brie blushed at being called 'little princess' but she'd be hard pressed to say she didn't enjoy the feeling it gave her. Sure life with May was just a bit immature but she found herself in such gender euphoria mode that it was hard to be bothered by it. "Sounds like an old favorite then, I'm excited." Brie carefully accepted the cup from May. It was proportionally larger than one back home even if it was for 'smaller' hands. Brie made sure to use both hands with her new cup, drinking her sweet, delicious juice as carefully as she could. She even asked May to place it back on the table when she was finished. The couch was simply too big to clamber over and then with the gap between the couch and the coffee table, it was just inviting a spill. Brie munched happily on snacks as the movie began, these we're salty to complement the juice and she devoured them ravenously, asking for at least one refill of juice even before the first act ended. The plot was silly and simple but the emotions were broad and the problems were easy to her adult mind. Still, it was very relaxing and compelling all at once. "I so would have been a horsegirl.." Brie sighed at a particularly dramatic moment between the lead and her horse. The momentary melancholy drew her out of the movie enough to realize pressure had built in her lower tummy and she found her legs pressed tightly together. She was snuggled so close to May that she had to shift to sit up and that sent a spasm through her belly and she made a slight noise at it and tugged May's sleeve. "May..." Brie sat as still as she could, pressing her little legs together looking up at her friend

"Oh, I'm nearly finished, wouldn't you rather play though?" Rachel regretted it as soon as she said it, she never had a passion for cooking so it seemed like a chore to her, but the look on Maddie's face told her it was anything but to the little. "No, I guess you wouldn't. You don't just not want to be alone, you actually do want to watch? Alrighty, just a moment kiddo," Rachel picked up Maddie's high chair and sat it where the stove would be visible. Once that was accomplished, Maddie was lifted up and put in the seat, sitting with her eye level above the range top. Rachel had some chicken stirfry in one pan with some lightly browning chicken breast in the other for Maddie and a vegetable steamer piping away behind both pans. "I'm almost finished like I said, but you can watch me put the finishing touches on everything. Did you used to like to cook back where you're from? What was your favorite thing?"

"Cool! I'm glad you aren't sick of me yet!" Brie replied. "If you do want your space though, I get it." She didn't mean for it to sound as pathetic as it must have. Still, May just smiled and Brie went after her down the hallway. While her pull-up was clothlike on the outside and soft inside, there was still a gentle crinkle coming from her with each step she took. She lagged behind May's long strides, hurrying slightly to keep up. She initially thought about asking to watch something more adult, but her experience with the podcast last night convinced her that maybe the hypnotic triggers in anything that wasn't 'family' oriented would be too much for her. "I think I'd like something animated more, I don't know about your world but at least in mine 'family' movies fall into either really good or really bad categories without a lot of inbetween. Lets just say you find more good animated ones than live action ones." When they were out at the couch, Brie initially wanted to try and climb up on her own but remembered May's request to not try it without help. "Could I get a boost up?"

"Well cutie, I was planning on making some chicken stirfry or something like that for myself. Maybe make you some chicken and veggies in a separate pan. Just something nice and easy on your tummy. You've had a bit to eat today, I don't want you getting a tummy ache after all. Come on then, lets go down stairs. You have Benchley?" Rachel didn't check until she knew Maddie had her shark with her. She lifted the little and carried her down the steps and to the fort. She thought for a moment, did she really want to leave Maddie to play in the fort by herself? She wasn't enthused about the idea but Maddie was no escape artist and if she wasn't trying to flee she wasn't likely to get hurt. It felt wrong to leave a little unattended, but she'd have the baby monitor to keep an ear out. "Maddie, mommy is going to trust you to play safe in the fort OK? I think you'll be happier doing that than waiting in the high chair and frankly, I don't want to take down the fort and drag your playpen back over here." She sat Maddie down on the blanketed floor, kissed her on the forehead, and departed for the kitchen to start cooking. "Call me if you need me Maddie." Rachel sat the baby monitor down on an end table. From where Maddie sat, she wouldn't be able to see it through the fort. She entered the kitchen, got out her supplies, and got to work.

"It's around 4, maybe just a bit later. Almost time for dinner soon. That's why I wanted to go ahead and feed you your bottle. You were just so cute nursing on it Maddie, your suckling reflex has always been strong at least since I've known you. You just latched onto it though. Someone must have been thirsty, you almost drank it all gone before you even opened your little eyes." Rachel gave Maddie a little boop on the nose. Her parents used to do that to her and her sisters. She'd never done it with Maddie, but her reaction was cute. "Does Maddie have anything she wants to do before Mommy starts dinner? Does she want to play in the fort some more or does she need food in her tummy?" Rachel checked Maddie as she talked to her. She was soggy but her diaper would hold up. Rachel was actually quite pleased to find it wet. Maddie's diapers could handle a few wettings if she wet when she needed to, but if she tried to hold it in she ran the risk of flooding it. "You aren't that wet, I think we'll save a diaper for now. I can take you back to the nursery to get you dressed in your play clothes though if you want to get out of your jammies?"

"Yeah, no nightmares this time." Brie shook her head, her thoroughly mussed hair swishing around her head. "We could watch some TV together, I wouldn't be against it. I still don't really know what's on or what exists for entertainment besides one podcast series and that old show from last night. Are you sort of just wanting to chill out? I could find something on my computer to watch if you want some more alone time?" Brie offered.

"You don't have to ride in it the whole time sweetie, we'll let you see all the animals but you and Brie are both probably going to need a nap. Maybe we can rent strollers there." The text message came in as Rachel was speaking and she took a brief moment to read it. "OK, let me just get off a response here. "OK, 8:30? Zoo opens at 9. We'll be there". Rachel pressed send and returned her attention to Maddie. "Of course I can rub your back, here, let me take care of you. Does this feel good?" Rachel began massaging and rubbing her baby's back as gently as she could. She rubbed the littles back until she heard gentle snores coming from her. Poor baby was so tired, but Rachel didn't want to let her sleep for too long. She got under the covers in the bed herself and spent a little over an hour on her phone, checking the news, playing games, and often stealing glances over at her slumbering child. She rubbed her back if she heard any sound the suggested Maddie might get fussy or was having a bad dream until it passed and Maddie returned to her quiet rest. After around 90 minutes, Rachel placed the baby monitor with Maddie and took the other one with her into Maddie's nursery for the changing mat and a new diaper. She hadn't checked Maddie, and she had just cleaned up a very wet diaper, but it wouldn't surprise her if Maddie was wet or would be wet relatively soon. Once she had Maddie's changing supplies, she went downstairs and prepared Maddie's third bottle of little formula for the day. "Wake up baby, nap times over Maddie." She said as she returned to the room, gently nudging her baby to start waking her before sitting on the bed and bringing Maddie into her lap, only awaiting Maddie's eyes opening to begin nursing her.

Brie's sleep was relatively peaceful and dreamless. It was a relatively shallow nap and she hadn't rested for long when May came in to wake her. She slept on her right side with her unicorn plush under her left arm, curled up close and tight to her body. Her right arm, originally tucked under her pillow, and once again found her mouth and the tip of her thumb rested gently between her lips. She gentle motion of May caused Brie to roll over, her hand falling away from her mouth before her brain registered it was there. "Oh hi," she said groggily. Maybe she just didn't get enough sleep because she felt a bit off, floaty sort of. Brie wiped the sleep out of her eyes before sliding her hand beneath the covers to inspect her pull-up. Her hand brushed over the gauzey, cloth like front and, with a press on the front padding and an inspection of the leg guards, she realized she was still dry. "Well that's good news, I stayed dry!" she said with more actual relief and excitement than a 20 something would normally use to make such a normal observation. Just because she liked how the pull-ups felt as underwear and served a practical purpose out and about, didn't mean she was any more pleased about actually wetting the bed than she was as a seven year old. Brie brushed her messy hair with her fingers and, with May's help, got out of bed to put on a pair of comfy, around the house pajama pants. "Thanks for waking me up May, what time is it?"

I see you already have some takers, but if for a reason you continue to be interested I can leave links to my RPs. I have a few topics as well and perhaps we could discuss them in a PM if you were interested? Both of these are co-occuring. I'm the regressed party in one and the dominant in the other, so it would give you a feel for both styles. Thank you for any consideration!

"Thank you May, it means a lot all you've done for me." Brie smiled as she lay back in her seat the rest of the way. When she got back home, she'd certainly have to invite May over and give her the same hospitality. Maybe with fewer training pants though. Brie let herself get unbuckled and put onto the ground and watched as May wrangled the groceries. She knew the best way for her to help would just be to stay put and hold her stuffie, but she wished she could be of more assistance. In light of those feelings, even sleepy, she didn't mind being asked to walk on her own. The steps were the hardest since they were so steep, but after them it was pretty easy going. "Oh, well, I can try. Sorry about that." Brie waited until the elevator door closed. "I used to wet the bed when I was a little kid, so I think since I went through some changes coming here, I might be doing that again." Brie blushed, she knew it wasn't a big deal to May but most twenty somethings didn't have to explain why they started wetting the bed again. Back in the apartment, Brie went to the bathroom before anything else. She wasn't sure exactly what she was supposed to be doing other than just making sure she was totally empty. She must have been since she sat there for about 5 minutes even though she never felt any need to go. Brie sighed, hiked her pull-ups, and thought 'well, I'll know soon.' On the way out of the bathroom she bumped into May. "Oh hey, I tried using the toilet but I just didn't need to so there's nothing to clean. I'm going to take that nap. I don't want to oversleep, do you think maybe in an hour or so you could wake me up?" With that, Brie went to her guest room, took off her shorts and climbed into the large guest bed in just her tee shirt and pull-up, unicorn close beside her, before pulling the huge covers over her tiny body, and going to sleep nearly as soon as her head hit the pillow.

"It usually opens around 8 or 9. May texted me earlier and I need to get back to her on that. We might just drive over there and then all go on a shuttle. If I take a backpack I could fit any souvenirs you might get but...well, we'd have to figure out how to take your stroller. Hm..., I'll think of something. May's a big girl, she can drive." Rachel was already walking up the stairs toward the nursery when Maddie asked to sleep with her. "Of course, Maddie, We can go take a nap on my big bed. Plenty of space to share with my little girl." Rachel sat Maddie on the changing table. Her not being nearly as fussy made the task more pleasant and quicker than normal. "I think we're both becoming pros at this, huh?" Maddie's heavy, wet diaper was balled up and tossed into the bin. In it's place, a fresh new rectangle of plastic and padding was brought up between Maddie's little thighs as Rachel hoisted her feet into the air. Once Maddie was all taped up and snug in her new diaper, Rachel refastened her sleeper and took the girl with her, turning the lights down and crawling onto the covers with Maddie. "Do you want me to rock you or rub your back to help you get back to sleep?" Before she got started she found her phone and shot off a quick message before placing it on the nightstand. "Sorry sis, Maddie had a nightmare and I've been dealing with that. I took her out for some ice cream and now I have her laying down again to finish her nap. I think we can either meet at your place or meet you there. It's 100% up to whether you feel like waiting for us."

Brie squeaked a bit as May spun her to the dryer. "No, no, no, I'm OK. Thank you for the help. Yeah, actually. I think some wipes would be a great idea." Brie gratefully accepted her unicorn, feeling at once a bit upset she hadn't remembered her. It was unreal how potent that oxytocin release from the rosewater scent of the stuffie was. "I think so, I think we're stocked pretty well for at least a while. Thank you by the way, I don't think you've asked me to pay for anything since I came here. I don't know if anything would accept my card mind you, but believe me, I appreciate it. It's nice just to not have to worry about things and let your hair down you know?" Brie thought for a moment before a joke came to her, "or I guess in my case, not worry about things and put your hair *up* in pigtails for tomorrow" Brie did start to yawn after trading the bustle of the restaurant for a comfortable, snug ride in the car seat. "I might take you up on that nap, actually." Brie said through her yawn.

"Well we certainly have those! What's a zoo without monkeys? I think we might have a snow leopard, or it could be a clouded one. Really it has been a while since I've been. I haven't had anyone to go with me so just like the ice cream place, I haven't been. If you like it though, we can look into getting membership passes, or seeing if we can enroll you in one of the education programs for littles. I think you probably want to be a bit more comfortable before that though, but maybe we'll get to see a demonstration. I know we do have the oldest pleistocene collection. It's not the largest anymore, but since we were one of the first we invest the most in the science of bringing the animals back and bigger zoos help out by paying us for the animals. It's not a small collection by any means, but it's really more invested in the science and research side of things." Rachel did hold off telling Maddie that the zoo did have some aquatic exhibits in addition to the sea birds. It wasn't an aquarium by any means, but she was sure they had a few smaller shark species since the zoo had helped reestablish so many populations. But as much as Maddie was already excited and as much as she loved sharks, that one was staying a secret. "Someone is sleepy huh?" Rachel half teased, "do you think you're going to need another nap?" Rachel thought a moment about how to answer Maddie's other question. "Nana and Papa are both nice, they were very busy though when my sisters and I were girls. Not many families have three amazon kids after all. Littles are easy, they tend to stay about the same age so once they're grown, you don't have to replace their clothes or redo their rooms or have them decide they don't want toys anymore and want big kid things and electronics. They worked a lot to take care of us. I don't think we appreciated it as kids, but working with littles like I do, and having you around, well, I think I appreciate it more than I used to. I do know they've been asking when they get to see you, you're going to get several decades worth of pent up spoiling little lady." The two arrived back at the house, "duck Maddie', Rachel said as she swooped beneath the door frame and into the house. "Now I was serious, do I need to put you down again?"

"Well, for you it's probably very big! We could pretty easily spend a day there if you'd like. When I was a girl and your grandparents took me to the zoo, we would always make the lap and see everything, maybe get some lunch after that, and then spend the rest of the day visiting our favorites again. Once we'd seen all of the other animals, if the ones we really wanted to see were especially active, we'd watch them for 20, 30 minutes maybe. That's why I like the polar birds exhibit, they all have such big personalities and you could watch them all day if you wanted to. We have soo many animals little one, you tell me, I know you want to see a mammoth, what else is Maddie wanting to see?" Rachel asked as the house came into view.

"Oh, I was just wondering, well, I can't reach the faucet to wash my hands? Could I get a boost from you?"

"That's a great choice then Maddie, for her name and gender apparently from the sound of it." Rachel listened to Maddie talk and hung on her words. Half was from genuine interest at how things were in Maddie's world and half was just seeing how excited Maddie got. The little clearly had a passion and Rachel would make sure to nurse it. "I'm glad you liked it sweetie. I always liked their stuff too but never had time or wanted to walk all the way here just to eat ice cream alone, but I think with you at home, I'll find quite a few more chances to come back regularly." Rachel wiped Maddie's face and let the little help her in throwing away the trash, "Say bye-bye, Maddie!', Rachel told her girl as they left. The air was cool and humid on the way back, Rachel put Maddie on her shoulders and walked with her, making the little the tallest of any person they past. Spring frogs filled the air with gentle peeps. "Do you here the froggies baby? Do you know what they're saying? They're say 'mad-DIE! mad-DIE!'" Rachel imitated the ribbit of the frogs as they walked back home.

"I probably should, huh?" Brie remembered how unpleasant cleaning out the toilet at home was and wanted to avoid that if at all possible. "Could you give me a boost down?" Brie accepted the help from May and went off to the bathroom in the back by herself as May finished everything up at the table. The bathroom was a big more crowded this time than last. One of the changing areas looked to be in use as a big was changing the diaper of who Brie imagined to be his son. It hadn't occurred to Brie before, but little bathrooms were probably like family bathrooms were back home. The boy on the table looked to be maybe a bit older than her, but she couldn't get a good enough look at his face to know for sure. He was certainly smaller though, even smaller than Maddie and babbling a happily as any baby. It was enough to make Brie shudder when she closed herself in a stall. Most of the littles that she saw looked happy with their situation and with forced abductions in the distant past, it meant that they all probably chose this on some level. Still, to be so small that you'd be permanently such a brand new baby, that was scary. It was hardly a life at all. Just a cycle of eating, sleeping, and pooping. Putting it that way though made Brie more uncomfortable. Ever since her last relationship failed she'd been doing nothing beside eating, sleeping, and working. Their situations mirrored in that momnet in a way that Brie didn't like. She finished up and after a bit was able to poop into the little potty. She actually felt a bit of accomplishment, since it meant that they wouldn't have to deal with emptying a BM from her toilet into the big one later tonight. Brie wiped up and pulled her training pants up around her waist. She heard a flush from the adjacent toilet before leaving and exited the stall to see another little on a stool washing her hands. This little looked a bit taller than her but was dressed in business attire. She was made up and had her hair nice, but on her stool looking up at her, Brie could see the outline of a pull-up like hers under her skirt. Combined with the physically younger appearance this dimension gave littles, she looked like a little girl playing dress up. Seeing her on the stool, Brie realized she had no way to wash her hands. "Excuse me..excuse me?" Brie tried to get her attention. "Could I use your stool?" The woman turned around and gave Brie a look of pitiful contempt. "Oh, no sorry, this is for me. I'm a free little, you see. You should get your mother to help you." Brie was a little annoyed with the condescending tone in her voice. "Well, I'm a free little too, my friend just let me use the bathroom before we left and I need to wash my hands." The woman eyed her up and down in her short denim shorts, pull-up bulge, and super hero shirt. "Right..I'm sorry, I have to go." The other little hopped down off of her stool and picked it up from a handle that she pulled out of the top of it to carry it like a briefcase. A bright pink purse was slung over the other shoulder. Her mary janes clacked on the tile. With no way to wash her hands without help, Brie just left herself. The bratty way the free little had behaved wasn't going to get her down. "I'm back, I might need you help with something though if you don't mind?"

"It is, although I don't know if it was as good as yours." Rachel marveled at the speed that this little made what was in the bowl vanish. "You kept your bib clean too, what a good girl Maddie. Finish the rest slow though, you don't want a nasty ice cream headache do you?" As Maddie finished, Rachel thought she could feel her lap warm a bit. She looked down, nothing wet. A little poke test proved though that Maddie probably had wet her diaper. She rubbed Maddie's back, trying to make her feel good and get anything left in her out as well. She would wait to see if Maddie said anything about a new diaper. Even if she did though, they'd left the house so quickly Rachel hadn't packed a diaper bag, so Maddie was going to have to sit in her wet diaper at least until they got home. Maybe if she got a bit more comfortable in them, found out they weren't so bad she try to hold it for so long. Rachel had noticed that Maddie was doing her best to let go of her big girl potty training though, she'd had a few more wet diapers already today than she might expect on a normal day. "Oh, we almost forgot someone," Rachel fished inside of her purse and but Maddie's toy shark on the table. "There we go, now your shark can watch you take big shark bites out of your ice cream!" "Hey, that looks yummy!" Rachel but on what to her was a bassy, gravely voice fit for a shark. "I want some too, nom nom nom nom nom!" Rachel mimed the shark eating up all of Maddie's ice cream. "Oh no Maddie! Tell your shark it's your ice cream so they don't eat it all up!" She gave Maddie a tickle to get her giggly again. Maddie seemed to like animal toys so much that Rachel wondered about making maybe getting Maddie and unpotty training chart, sharks and ocean animals might be harder to find than princesses or unicorns, but maybe if she could place a toy reward at the end of a full sticker chart, Maddie might abandon any holding all together. That was the goal after all. Rachel finished her ice cream, keeping her eye on Maddie as she finished the rest of hers

"Maybe like low if you think they'll be short? I don't know, I've never had pigtails before." Brie couldn't help but be excited. There wasn't a 'girlier' style than pigtails. "I'll let you do what you think is best on my hair, I might have less than a years experience with it nearly this long." "Thank you!" Brie put on her kidified voice again, continuing their game with the waitress. "I already had a nap though," Brie got a big, faux shock look on her face and turned to May, eyes big and lip pouty, "Not another nap, please!" Brie could barely keep from cracking up as she whined performatively.

"I don't think that's going to be an issue, that ice cream is going to be in a tummy soon enough! Say thank you Maddie". Rachel sat down at the table and fastened the bib around Maddie's neck, "There we go, no drips on your jammies now. You were very good just now, Maddie. A lot of little girls would have thrown a fit if someone thought they were a boy. You're so well behaved though, I'm proud of you. Do you want to use the spoon yourself or should Mommy feed you?" Maddie had handled everything incredibly well, maybe she realized with short hair and boyish clothes it would be inevitable, still though. If she hadn't said anything, would Maddie have corrected her?

"Oh yeah?" Brie's interest was piqued at the idea of pigtails. It was strange, but she always chalked in up into the great big category of things she missed about not getting a girlhood. Her hair was finally shoulder length and it had taken a while to get there. She really had never had a chance at them before. It wasn't like she was going to wear them to work. "You have my attention. Do you really think my hair is long enough?" Brie couldn't keep it sounding like a normal question, the curiosity and hope that her hair wasn't just long, but now long enough to style, crept in. "Oh no, well, at least back home you wouldn't have to help me in the bathroom or out in public. I promise, I don't wet my pants nearly as much when toilets are my sized! It's interesting, a lot of the natural stuff seems similar here as it was back home, it's just 'more' here you know? If anything you'd probably find my dimension a bit shabby if this is your frame of reference." Brie looked down at her plate. The chicken was only halfway gone and she'd only made a dent in the mound of fries. Still though, "May, I think if I eat anymore my stomach is going to kill me. I'm willing to die for chocolate though, I'll take one for the team and go out with a smile on my face."

"You're very considerate Maddie, lets go in. I don't think I'll mind holding my baby in my lap one bit." Rachel laughed at simply how excited that made Maddie. Some gummy candy wouldn't be too much of a problem for Maddie, the sugar might make her a bit hyper later but the little girl had been through enough big feelings that it would be nice to give her a treat. "Well someone chose quickly! We'll have to come back later so you can try the other things." Rachel rang a bell to alert the shop keeper. "Yes, one adult, one little. I'll be OK without a high chair for today. Could I get a double sea salt caramel with a chocolate drizzle for myself and I think my little one here wants a little cup with birthday cake flavor and gummy frogs." Rachel placed the order and scanned her card. She shifted Maddie to her other hip as she took both bowls one at a time and sat them on the closest table. "Thank you so much, we just got up from our nap didn't we, could I get a bib please?" The woman behind the counter smiled, "of course, one bib for your son." Son? Rachel looked down at Maddie hoping she wouldn't be upset or confused at being called a boy. Choppy hair and blue jammies did it, that had to be the reason. "Oh, I'm sorry. Maddie's my little girl." Rachel corrected. "Oh, I apologize, a little tomboy I suppose? Do you want me to put it in another cup?" She had already spooned the ice cream into a blue paper cup and was handing over a blue bib with puppy's and paw prints on it. Rachel looked down at Maddie, deciding she would do what Maddie wanted her to in this case.

"Yeah, home's not great. I suppose everywhere has problems though. I mean, I'm probably underselling it. I don't know. It's sort of like, if all people know about your dimension is that years ago people got grabbed off the street and turned into babies and people focused on just that but not the art or science or anything, I mean, they wouldn't have a full picture. It doesn't matter that most of the littles I've seen here look pretty happy with things and you told me yourself that the old, 'grab 'em and they don't have any rights thing' is gone. Still...yeah, home has a lot of problems." The truth was, even if Brie didn't want to come off as melodramatic, home wasn't great when she actually looked at it objectively. The world had it's problems and prejudice and it seemed here they had solved already a lot of stuff that there was just no desire to do back home. Back home she was worried she might never get a job in her field, she had issues with her family, and her roommates were OK for roommates. Not to mention her dating life. "Maybe if you come visit me we can? I bet back in my dimension we're probably pretty similar unless you're taller than Renee. If that's the case you'll be huge even there and I'll still be tiny compared to you." "Really, is it that sweet? I don't know, I guess I can taste the honey-maple. It's really good though.." Brie said absentmindly as she continued to eat, a little bit more quickly than before and using the special little sauce exclusively now.

"It's alright to go in your pajamas, baby. Nobodies going to care about something like that." Rachel ruffled her little girl's hair "I don't see why not, I can put them in my purse while you eat so you don't get any ice cream on them." Rachel picked Maddie up and carried her over to the door, helping her get her shoes on before slipping some sandals on herself. "See, Mommy might not be in jammies like you, but even I'm going in comfy clothes. "Oh I don't imagine, it only just stopped raining. Plus I think most people might think it's still a bit chilly out for ice cream but I take it you probably don't mind?" Rachel made sure Maddie had her shark in her arms before they stepped out in the cool, damp air after the rainstorm. The ice cream place wasn't far, it was easily walk able in fact. They didn't live in a major city, but it was large enough and she did live near enough into town that mixed use development allowed for niceties like corner bodegas and local ice cream shops. True to expectation, the shop was empty. Tables and chairs outside also sat unoccupied though wet from the rain. "Do you know what you want baby? We can eat inside or outside, it's up to you but you'll have to sit on Mommy's lap outside."

"I think we're in a similar boat then, I'm not doing anything in the field I wanted to be in either. I actually got an education degree. My goal is to be a teacher but working an office job was a blessing during transition. I had privacy to go through puberty again in relative peace outside of the public eye and got decent pay and benefits too. Plus, well, the more I think about it the more worried I get about teaching. I'm just afraid being like I am, it's going to be hard to find a place that will want to hire me and stand up for me if people find out about me, you know?" Brie grabbed one for herself, "Well, it wasn't my end goal, but if I can accomplish it along the way..." she left the end of the joke unsaid, and laughed as well. "Besides, if we're playing pretend and you want to trade places with me, be my guest!" The food arrived soon enough and true to the form she expected from last night, the portion size was huge. Brie doubted seriously that she'd be able to finish the chicken fingers, let alone the pile of fries that came with it. The plate came with a handful of ramekins full of sauces and while she identified some of the more normal ones, true to May's claim, she couldn't figure out the final one. "May, I'm having a hard time placing this, could you tell me what it is? It's good but I don't know the flavor."
