Tug of War 68.2 (Patreon)

After being warmly applauded by most of the people, Tiffany returned to the backstage to change her outfit. As she knew very well, the show was just beginning...

"You're doing great, Ti-Ti!" Alyssa said, as she and the other girls helped Tiffany out of the dress.

"Do you really think so?" Tiffany asked, anxiously. "I mean, you're not saying that just to make me feel good, are you?"

"You know me, right? If I thought you sucked, I would say it right away!"

"You were fantastic, Tiff!" Kate agreed with Alyssa, smiling. "So gorgeous and confident... It felt like you've been doing this your whole life... It's crazy to think this is your debut! The public loved you, as well!"

"Yeah, yeah, but don't get too carried away" Alyssa advised her. "The contest is not over yet so you need to stay focused. Now put your swimsuit on. We're almost running out of time."

That was the part of the contest that Tiffany was fearing the most. The prospect of parading in front of so many people wearing a tiny bathing suit was overwhelming, to say the least. However, she knew that giving up wasn't an option anymore. Just breathe, Tiffany, she told herself. Go out there and show them once again what you can do... You go, girl!

When Tiffany returned to the stage, she drew gasps of surprise and admiration from the audience. They seemed to be finding it impossible to believe that she really had been born as a male, considering how perfectly feminine and stunning her body looked.

Tiffany was wearing a red one-piece swimsuit covered in golden embroidery. The garment, handpicked by Alyssa after much searching and deliberation, was indeed very flattering to Tiffany's body, highlighting all her attributes. The deep neckline went down to the middle of her belly, almost reaching her navel, and making her voluptuous breasts look irresistible; Tiffany's back was totally exposed, allowing everyone to see how narrow her waist was; the bottom of the piece, in bikini style, covered most of her buttocks (much to Tiffany's relief), but still did justice to her bubble butt.

Reaching the end of the catwalk with grace and elegance, Tiffany did some poses for photos and smiled and waved to the people around, who once again reacted excitedly. Throughout the whole thing, Tiffany kept repeating 'motivational phrases' inside her head: You're, like, doing great, Tiffany! Show them how charming you can be!

And just like that, the second stage of the contest was over...
