  Universe Gagarin-11961-CDF7690EA6

  Rebekah August, a 23 year old cis woman of around a height of 5’4 with a slimmer build and shoulder length bck hair that gradually ends in purple was behind the counter at her family's diner in Pleasant Valley when the sky started to glow an orangey red as the wind picks up outside. The red sky appearing on every single corner of the world no matter if was day or night.

  "Never seen the sky do that before" She runs out outside to see everyone else huddled in fear

  "Not gonna lie this looks hel awesome" Becks says to no one

  After a few seconds the sky returns to its normal blue hue, however something has changed. What was once two Earths have become one. Twice the popution, twice the buildings and infrastructure. What was truly remarkable was that everything was pced together as if was always like that to start. Both humans and robots scream at each other. Except for one woman, Rebekah.

  "Whoa, this is totally awesomely cool" Becks says right before she runs towards one of the robots. A woman humanatron wearing a undercut of purple hair made out of wiring, but made to feel like natural hair, a fnnel jacket with a vest full of pins, cargo pants and combat boots. She was startled when Becks came up to her with a smile on her face.

  With that smile Becks was the one to initiate first contact between humans and humanatrons

  "Hi! My name is Becks, I work at the diner behind us. Nice to meet ya!” Becks says to the confused young humanatron woman while pointing at the diner.

  In a non-robotic voice, the humanatron responds with "I..I...I..." The humanatron then faints.

  Outside Spacetime

  Watching the viewscreen is an charmravenian woman named Lyssa.

  "A successful world merge. Nothing missing, nothing out of pce. Everything and everyone where they need to be. Perfect. I hope these two get along, as well as everyone else"

  Lyssa looks at a picture of her and the newly named Evie.

  "Come back soon, sweetheart”

  Annie and Ashleigh wake up at around noon and decided to cook shake and bake chicken tenders and frozen potato wedges for lunch. It has been a while since they have cooked together something for lunch

  Annie says "Can you hand me that box with the ziploc freezer bags. I swear, ever since they got rid of the little baggies in the box.”

  Ashleigh answers while seasoning the potato wedges with a hodgepodge of spices from the rack. A bit of seasoning salt, a bit of bck pepper, some Italian seasoning. A bit of paprika for color

  "I'm still pissed they got rid of the country chicken Bag N Season pouches.I so wish I was in a parallel universe right now, I really do”

  "Yeah, you do?" Annie asks

  "No, not without you, babe"

  “Good."

  As lunch cooks in the oven. Annie turns on the TV and turns it on to a youtube upload of a old baseball game from the 2000s with the Mariners vs the Rangers.

  "I read your GreenLeaf thread this morning"

  "Yeah, only got about halfway before I fell asleep on the couch. Your cat made excellent company" Ashleigh sighly says as Emoria meows

  "Eh, kept me entertained at work earlier, you know I met a very interesting woman this morning. Her name is Zuniper and she used to live in this house in the 80s and she started a tradition that this house stays in the trans community. Her sister's dying wish." Annie tells Ashleigh.

  "Yeah didn't we got it from a really cute triad of trans authors a couple years back?"

  “Yuuup."

  "That's amazing that it was in the community for so long, probably seen a lot of history here." Ashleigh says

  "She says it has, there were protest signs made in this room throughout the decades"

  "Oh, we made a few of our own in here too"

  "That's right" Annie excims, remembering the signs they made the previous year for a few protests as well as pride.

  "So you told her that you're living there now?'

  "Oh yeah, that's how we started talking about it when I mentioned I lived in the orange house on 4th and Elm. She asked me if we knew about a secret room in the house. I answered I didn't"

  "Oh, I need to see this”

  After finishing their lunch, Annie leads Ashleigh to the kitchen pantry closet.

  "Okay, this is just a pantry. There's no secret room here"Ashleigh says as Annie moves shelving out of the way and feels for a recessed door handle when she notices something.

  "The wall is fake." Annie says

  She then removes the wall and opens the sliding door.

  Emoria quickly runs in and finds a pce of rest on a floor of mattress, making biscuits as she does.

  Ashleigh turns on her phone's fshlight and it's a wood paneled wall with a small Quasar brand CRT TV with dials and fake wood on the sides and top of it, The TV lies on a old school tv wall mount. with a silver RCA VCR underneath in a bottom rack.

  There is a small corner desk and Ashleigh makes her way over to it and there are a bunch of papers that were left alone for close to 40 years. Annie runs out and grabs a static duster and cleans the dust and cobwebs in the room from over the years. It was the least she can do.

  "Chrissy Carpenter ?? Zuniper August" Ashleigh reads from an envelope with the ink halfway faded. The bank that the envelope came from hasn’t been around for years in the present.

  "Zuniper was remembering her fondly, Ash. I’m going to finish cleaning up in here, then we should leave and close the door and put the wall and shelving back" Annie says

  "Yeah. " Ashleigh answers

  "Come on, Silly kitty" Annie says picking her up after she finished dusting off the walls and clearing the webs from throughout the room.

  In doing so, she see an urn of ashes in a cabinet that has been bolted shut.

  "Sorry, Chrissy for ruining your rest. I hope you didn’t mind me cleaning up. Sleep well." Annie says before sliding the door closed.

  Annie silently puts the wall and shelving back in the pantry.

  Annie and Ashleigh hug and cry for hours.

  Thursday June 18th 1987

  Zuniper wakes up with a content and happy expression on her face with Chrissy snuggling her as Zuniper snuggles Annie who has just woken up herself, also with a happy expression and contentment on her face.

  "Goddess, you're so damn cute" Zuniper whispers to Annie as she gives her little kisses and wraps her arms around Annie’s naked and full-figured body. “You’re just so soft and kissable” Zuniper adds while giving her more kisses

  Behind Zuniper, Chrissy is smiling of compersion. She misses her curves, but that is not stopping her from enjoying her girlfriend enjoy and explore the curves on another woman, who Chrissy fell in love with nearly as quickly as Zuniper has.

  "Annie, Zuni really gives the best kisses, doesn't she?" Chrissy asks, feeling much better than the day before.

  "She does.” Annie says as Chrissy moves over to be on the other side of Annie.

  “OMG, I’m an Annie sandwich”

  “Mmmm, a yummy sandwich” Chrissy says in reply to Annie.

  14 Hours Earlier

  After Chrissy crashed on the couch and moved to her room which was also the cuddlepile room. Zuniper pces her pillows and stuffed animals around her as Chrissy falls into a deeper sleep. Zuniper gives her a kiss and stays with her. Annie joined Zuniper in the room. That was a couple of hours ago.

  As Missy and Emily py with the kitten Emoria in the living room with various cat toys lying around that was used by a cat Chrissy’s mother had a few years back, Zuniper and Annie hit it off while Chrissy is sleeping heavily on an adjoining mattress

  "So....2024, huh." Zuniper says quietly while rubbing and scratching Annie’s back.

  "Yeah. TVs got ftter and bigger" Annie says as she looks at the mounted 13 inch CRT TV. That TV showing an old I Dream of Jeannie rerun as they speak.

  "I can't believe estrogen changed you that much. May I?" Zuniper asks, gncing at Annie’s boobs.

  "May you what, cutie?" Annie asks back

  "May I touch?" Zuniper asks in a flirting tone

  "Touch what?" Annie asks, clearly not getting it at all.

  "SHE WANTS TO TOUCH YOUR BOOBS! JEEEEEZ!!!" Chrissy yells then mumbles to herself “fucking useless lesbians”

  "What she said. They’re just so goddamn magnificent. ” Zuniper says

  "Since you asked nicely" Annie says in a cute voice

  As Zuniper feels Annie, Zuniper feels a twinge of jealousy, except it wasn't really jealously. It's more of a hopeful admiration.

  "You grew these?"

  "Yeah, did you not know?"

  "I knew, but I thought those were a surgeon’s handiwork” Zuniper admits

  "Feeling better, love?" Zuniper asks Chrissy

  "A bit, I think I can be up.” Chrissy responds as a Flintstones rerun begins

  "You sure?" Zuniper asks with concern

  "I'll think I'll manage." Chrissy answers with pulling Zuniper down and forward with a passionate kiss. “I would still be sleeping though, if it wasn’t two fucking useless lesbians next to me, oh wait, they were not fucking at all” Chrissy continues.

  "You two?" Annie asks

  "Yeah, we've been together for a year, but we have known and lived with each other for the past four years.”

  An hour of conversation passes.

  "So Chrissy was the name I would have born with and I started using it to honor my mom" Chrissy says to Zuniper and Annie.

  "I would have been named Rebekah, if I was came out as myself and not 'him" Zuniper answers

  "I never found out. My mom died young. All I remember she was a tomboy" Annie says

  “Hey, you know what’s funny” Annie adds then continues “I was born this year, just ter on in October”

  Three more hours pass.

  Zuniper and Annie are making out on the mattress as Chrissy reads a Donald Duck comic next to them.

  Chrissy already having her time with Annie not too long before, which was after assuring them both that she'll be okay after her morbid joke about she might die that month after hearing Annie says she would be born ter in the year in October.

  They eventually fell asleep snuggling each other in a loving embrace, both Chrissy and Zuniper making Annie their girlfriend during the hours of conversation.

  As the morning lingers, Zuniper continues to give small kisses to Annie's neck and back, Annie asks a question.

  "So you're sure you weren't supposed to be in the diner this morning?"

  "Nah, I don't go in every day. I go in every other or every third day. I do go in tonight" Zuniper answers

  As the three continue to cuddle and share more trauma dumping, the other housemates start to wake up and head out of the room that leads directly to the kitchen.

  They continue to cuddle for another hour when the smell of onions, tomato, and bell pepper wander their way to the three.

  It's only then they walk into the kitchen after nearly 16 hours of cuddling and bonding.

  "I got french toast, bacon and eggs any way you want cooking up" Julie says to the three, as Missy is just starting on eating her omelette.

  "Scrambled with cheese" Zuniper says

  "Over easy" replies Annie

  "Fried" replies Chrissy

  "All good choices" said Julie

  As the house eats their breakfast, The rest of the dies welcome Annie officially into the house, as the newest sister. Annie was given cleanup duty for the breakfast. Zuniper offers to help dry the dishes and cookware.

  “I really cannot believe I was welcomed here so fast.” Annie says squeezing the Palmolive dish soap into the hot water in the newly filled rubbermaid bin in the sink.

  “Not really that surprising, you’re one of us. Hell, you already got Emily adding you to the estradiol list.

  “So you’re all not on estradiol?” Annie asks

  “Emily doesn’t need to be, she’s not a transsexual, She’s just tall. She is an honorary member of this sisterhood. Missy doesn’t feel ready yet, Tilly and Julie can’t do needles and Julie doesn’t want to take Premarin.” Zuniper tells Annie and then continues “Something Chrissy told me changed my views that you don’t need to be on estrogen to be a woman, it’s something deep and innate in you. It’s something you just know. Just like how you know you’re a woman, Emily.”

  “That’s right, and yeah, Zuniper and I are high school exes, but we’re still ride or die besties.” Emily confirms

  “That’s amazing” Annie replies while rinsing the skillet used for the eggs.

  “For those of us on estrogen, we absolutely need it.” Zuniper says while drying one of the floral patterned ptes.

  “That’s right.” Annie answers while handing Zuniper the skillet.

  Saturday, September 16th, 1752

  Evie is looking at her face and poking it.

  She then pokes her chest as if expecting something to happen right then and there.

  She then sits next to Ashleigh on the couch as she is watching a movie from her library. Something about Josie and some pussycats except it's about a band or something, she's not paying attention.

  Evie's only paying attention to her ck of change as she now pys with her hair. Her true proper hair now as she is now locked into this form of a scrawny Earth human.

  "So how long is this going to be" Evie asks

  “Years"

  "Years?"

  "Years." Ashleigh emphasizes for effect

  “And there’s no shortcuts at all”

  “No shortcuts in any way whatsoever, though, you will probably get the the first true change in like a couple of weeks, either softer skin or your sense of smell changes, though not sure if that would apply to another species" Ashleigh continues

  I'm not even a charmravenian anymore. I'm something new."

  "Something new. New. I like that. It's weird that I like that" Evie says

  "Not really" Ashleigh replies as Josie and the Pussycats has ended and the screen is now showing a screensaver image.

  "How so" Evie asks

  "It means that you're your own person? being? lifeform? Evie. You're your own Evie." Ashleigh answers while she's too tired to word.

  "Hey, you got a pce to nap, Evie?" Ashleigh asks

  "Charmravenians don't need to sleep" Evie answers.

  "You're not one anymore, so be careful” Ashleigh says as begins to yawn and taps Zach who has been napping on the other end of the sofa to get up so that he can take the whole sofa to sleep.

  She then walks into the bedroom and throws out a very cute purple dress to Evie.

  "Try this on and hopefully I'll be awake and you're be still wearing it”

  "oooh, love the polka dots" Evie replies as Ashleigh crashes on her bed.

  Evie tries on the dress and spins around in it for a while. She also walks around in it, sits, get up, sit again for a good fifteen minutes.

  She gnces at the bookshelf and grabs a random book “Hmmm…’Whipping Girl’” Evie begins to read the book and about ten or so minutes in she begins to yawn

  “Oh wow, my eyes are getting heavy and I just feel so sluggish, I’m just gonna rest my eyes” Evie says before kneeling on the floor and finally lying down in a deep sleep.

  When Ashleigh gets up a couple hours ter. Evie is zonked out on the floor napping.

  "Looks cute on you" Ashleigh says to herself and grabs a pillow and a bnket to make Evie more comfy. Evie then smiles as she falls into a deeper sleep

  "Rest. Looks like you do need sleep now"

  Ashleigh crashes on her bed again after a quick drink of water.

  Alison#XS-9876 wakes up in a booth seat as Rebekah looks across the diner table.

  "Hi, welcome back, sorry to have scared ya!" Becks says in a very peppy and feminine voice

  Alison and the other humanatrons look no different from humans except they have blue lighting across both their ears and neck. The humanatrons also have random beeping, buzzing, and whirring noises as they move and gesture around.

  "Hello. My name is Alison#XS-9876, Sorry for frightening you by fainting" Alison says and then continues "What is that on your pte?"

  "Ah, that's a burger and fries, can you eat th- can you even eat?" Becks replies

  Alison scans the food to be absolutely sure then reaches across and steals a fry

  Becks is entranced by Alison's red and purple undercut. Becks is thinking to herself how cute Alison's cute freckled face is. Those lips. those full dark lips. Oh, that's going to be her downfall and she knows it.

  Her outfit though. Yeah, she's gay.

  And fallen head over heels for a robot girl.

  Becks have just handed her the pte as she kept eating the fries.

  "I love your look" Rebekah says

  "Yeah, I fell in love with this style after my transition."

  "Your transition?"

  "Yeah, I had a female operating system, but was given a male shell so I had it corrected.

  “Girl, that is totally awesome!” Becks excims and then continues“ Stay right there, can you have coke, I’m gonna give you a coke. You also look like a cherry vanil girl, so I’m adding those in”

  Alison, in between bites of another universe's fuel takes a good look at Becks as she puts in the cherry and vanil syrups in a tall gss and pours the fountain coke in and mixes it with a twisted bar spoon. Alison is quite immediately taken in with her darker skin and bck curls. Her eyes. oh those eyes. That's going to be her downfall and she knows it.

  Her outfit though. The fnnel? Oh she melts.

  She's gay and fallen for a human. A very beautiful human woman. Much like her creator a little less than 25 years ago.

  The world however went into chaos.

  As the universes have merged, both the humans and humanatrons have rightful cim and are fighting over territory as there is now a mishmash of buildings and other miscelnea all throughout the pnet.

  That first week after the universes merging was not a very pleasant week as disputes and confrontations hit a fever pitch. There were many injuries, but surprisingly no deaths caused by these disagreements. Unbeknownst to everyone in the merged universe, Lyssa made sure of that.

  A month passes and the world is at peace, once it has been discovered what happened, other than a few hotspots.

  Becks and Alison are now sharing an apartment and more in love than ever.

  Luckily for Alison the method for her monthly feminization top-ups have made it through the universe merge.

  Becks and Alison are cuddling in bed, giving each other little kisses. Becks also tracing over Alison’s neck and ear lighting while saying “I really love that shade of blue”

  "I don't ever want this to end" Alison says snuggled onto Beck's cleavage.

  "Neither do I, sexy" Becks replied

  "I just want to lie in bed all day with you again" Alison says, she continues "But I know you need to work”

  "I do, but before I go, I need to do something for you" Becks say with a smirk and a wink

  "Oh, I wonder what that could be"

  Becks proceeded to go down on Alison's only remaining part from her previous shell. “I really love that you kept it” Becks sensually says before going down on Alison

  “I felt sentimental and wanted to keep it” Alison replies with her moaning right after

  As she finished, Alison made her satisfaction known as Becks gets up and kisses Alison as she's still in the stars.

  "I love it when she gets like that for me" Becks says to herself.

  As Alison returns back to earth, Becks waited for her and kissed her forehead as she leaves for the diner.

  ********

  ********

  Ashleigh and Annie cuddled for hours, their hearts heavy for Zuniper.

  Annie says "I need to let Zuniper know that I seen the room.

  Annie takes out the little piece of paper in her work apron and dials the number.

  The phone rings for about 20 seconds when Zuniper answers.

  "Hi, you've reached Zuniper August"

  "Hi, This is Annie Boles. I've seen the room. I get why you kept the house for us”

  "It was Chrissy's request. She was my life, Annie. It's been nearly 40 years since she got sick and then died. She was brave in the end of her fight. I kick myself over and over what if I caught it sooner." Zuniper says while she's tearing up.

  "Was she, like us? Annie asks.

  "Yeah, that's why she didn't see anyone." Zuniper starts and then continues

  She was losing so much weight and my housemates and I tried and tried and tried to get her to see someone, anyone. "

  "Do you want to come over?"

  "No. I'm still not ready to come back. Just take good care of that house.”

  "We will. Just take care of yourself." Annie asks.

  "I will." Zuniper answers

  "Please do" Annie replied.

  The call hangs up and Zuniper has fresh tears on her face.

  "I miss you so much, one more day. I'll survive one more day to spite the bastards. "She said everyday since Christmas Day 1987 Zuniper then enters one of bedrooms of her apartment and Emily is lying in bed.

  “Did they find the room?” Emily asks

  “Yeah.” Zuniper answers

  “That’s good isn't it. Keeping her memory alive” Emily asks

  “It is, but I just miss her so much” Zuniper answers as she climbs into bed with Emily

  “So do I. I really don’t want to see her again so soon, but I have a feeling my time is ending soon” Emily says as she lies sick with terminal cancer after chemotherapy has failed.

  “I don’t know if I can survive losing you too” Zuniper says

  “I’m going to hold you to the same promise. Survive one more day, every time you wake up.” Emily says.

  “I’ll try my best, bestie”

  “See that you do, and if your trans and reading this, that goes double for you, Outlive these bastards”

  "What?!" Zuniper asks

  Emily just lies there, going back to reading her magazine.

  ********

  ********

  Completely rested, Evie wakes up covered in a bnket and surrounded by pillows.

  “Wha..I was reading, what just happened?" Evie asks

  "You went to sleep." Zach answers

  "That's what sleep is? It felt nice and calming. I had these images in my head, they didn't make any sense at all”

  Evie, those are dreams, they're like little movies that py as you sleep" Ashleigh says while stifling a ugh.

  Zach is deep in thought, He sees how much happier Evie has gotten since that first shot hours ago. Even though nothing has changed, there’s a light in Evie’s eyes that wasn’t there before, almost as if it was shining through her gmour. But it’s not her gmour anymore is it. How remarkable was one injection to do all that. As someone scientifically minded, she needs to know. She. She. She sounds good, she likes she. Zoria likes her name. Zoria likes Zoria, and Zoria is tired of Zach.

  "Girlie, you got a lot to get used to about being...well whatever you are now" Ashleigh says, giggling.

  "Ashleigh, Evie. I see you both so happy. Evie, you especially. I want that. I want that so much." Zach says.

  "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Ashleigh inquires

  "I'm tired. I'm so tired. I want to be Zoria. I must be Zoria. ”

  "I'll get the supplies!" Ashleigh says loudly with delight with Evie following her

  As Ashleigh goes into her cabinet, Evie assists her when her translocationer begins to beep and fsh a small red light, however, Evie is unable to hear it over P!nk's 'Get the Party Started"

  They both enter the living room dancing and spreads out the injection supplies for Zoria's shot.

  Sunday, September 9th, 1995

  Rebekah and Alison have been together for ten years and they are lying on a beach on the coast near their house in Southern California.

  "It's been ten years since the worlds merged. Ten years since we've been together." Rebekah says to a sunbathing Alison

  "I know, I couldn't imagine falling in love with a human woman who decided to say hi to a robot who mysteriously appeared from another world.

  "A hot, sexy, and cute robot" Becks reminds her new wife.

  "Mmmm, damn right I'm hot." Alison replies with a smirking voice

  They got up and decided to take a walk on the beach.

  Still deeply in love as the day they met.

  They kiss right after they waved to a group of jogging robots and humans.

  They then shared burger and fries for their anniversary dinner.

  They then walked into their house for a wild night in.

  ********

  ********

  As P!nk continues to py in the background. Evie's translocationer beeps louder and louder. Ashleigh ys out the syringe, needles, alcohol wipes, bandaid and her vial and prepares the same first dose she gave Evie and stated the same instructions, 4mg this first time around, 8mg the following and see from there. Evie offering to use her translocationer for medical scanning.

  The sky outside is starting to shift from a pink and blue sunset with white clouds, ever so greener.

  "Okay Zoria, Time to fly" Ashleigh says

  ********

  ********

  Lyssa is trying to contact Evie to no avail. She doesn't know that Evie is cut off from the chronodimensional neural net

  "Please answer, Alia. Please... Please…”

  ********

  ********

  Evie notices the beeping and all color drains from her face. She then slows time very nearly to a stop.
