"…considering how much time you two spent together, it seems like you and Mrs. Bennett's grandson got along pretty well, isn't right, Tiff, honey?" Susan said with a mischievous smile about half an hour later, while she and her feminized stepson were returning home. "But I can't blame you. He definitely is such a charming, handsome young man… a perfect match for a beautiful young lady like you, I'd even dare to say. You just need to be a little careful, dear. You know you still don't have much experience dating guys." 

"Are you, like, serious, mom?" Timothy asked, feeling deeply insulted. "Okay, so of course I don't have much experience dating guys. I don't like guys, after all! Did you forget that? I will never, ever, date a guy!" he angrily stated, stamping a heeled foot. "Also, you totally know that going for a walk with Matt wasn't my idea. I didn't want to do that, like, at all! And it wasn't my fault that it took me so long to come back, okay? Gosh, it was Matt who didn't want to let me go!"

"Now, now calm down, sweetie. Why are you so hysterical? Did Matthew misbehave in any way? Did he treat you badly or something?" 

"No, that's not what I am saying. Matt was totally sweet and treated me like a real princess" Timothy said, stunned by his own choice of words to describe what had happened. Telling his stepmother that Matt had been sweet and treated him like a real princess was definitely not something the feminized boy had planned to do. 

"I see" Susan said, smiling satisfied. "He even gave you a flower, didn't he? So romantic!"  

"H-how do you even know about that?" 

"Oh dear... here you are acting like an airheaded girl again... You are holding a flower right now, aren't you? Who else could have given you that?"

"Oh!" Timothy exclaimed, his pink lips forming a perfect 'o', as he noticed that his stepmother was right. How could he have forgotten he was still holding that flower? A flower a guy had given him? All this sounded so crazy and weird. "Whatever! I'll just throw it" he announced, but before he could do so, Susan held his hand. 

"You can't do that, young lady!" 

"Why not?" 

"First, because it wouldn't be a polite thing to do. The flower was a gift, wasn't it? But more importantly, can you imagine how annoyed your father will be to learn that 'his daughter' got a flower from a boy? So just keep holding the flower, and make sure you look delighted when you show this to your daddy. But in any case, since Matthew treated you so well, I still don't understand why you are so angry." 

"Oh really? I'm gonna tell you then, mommy! The thing is that I'm soo tired of you treating me as if I were a real girl all the time... now you're even insinuating that I'd start dating guys!"

"Then you're mad for nothing, silly. At least for the time being, you know very well you are a girl! Do I really need to remind you for the thousandth time what you asked me to do the night you decided to start living as Tiffany full-time? It was you who begged to be treated like a real girl. And guess what? There's nothing more natural than a girl your age showing interest in guys. I didn't tell you this would be easy, but again, I'm just doing what you asked me to do. Now stop being so petulant and tell me everything that happened in that backyard…"
