Danielle Works a Saturday

So the first stop would be a TG salon in town so that Daniel could shed his outer skin to let Danielle emerge forever. Attending the meeting with the lawyer as Danielle, he felt, was the appropriate thing to do. Then she could make the rounds to her new condo, the bank and then a very much-needed shopping spree. One final element of her "past life" remained: the job. Tomorrow, she'd planned, to go to the office and clean out "her" desk then return Monday to tender her resignation. But she would have no trouble accomplishing the pre-quitting clean-out because the office was always closed for business on Saturdays. Beyond that, she had no plans for her new life except that no matter what she was doing, housework, sleeping, cooking or going out on dates, she would be doing it as Danielle.

Twenty minutes later, she was sitting in the salon having her hair done. Her shoulder-length brown hair would ultimately be trimmed and styled with a side flip. Next would be her nails; her toes getting a coat of red and her fingers a slightly lighter shade to match her lipstick. The salon specialist, Merissa, who she'd known for several weeks, was extremely attentive to Danielle's desires and needs and suggested things in areas where Danielle wasn't sure about. After spritzing on some perfume suggested by Merissa, Danielle dressed in her outfit; a black lace bra(with small breast inserts to "fill" her out) and panty set, a long-sleeved, white satin blouse, a zebra-print, knee-length skirt, nude thigh highs and 4" strappy high heel sandals. She also decided on a chain of hearts for her right ankle, which would sit delicately below the rose tattoo she'd recently gotten.

Walking over to the salon's full-length mirror, she was speechless at Merissa's work. The reflection looking back at her was Danielle's dream come true. She may have not been the most beautiful creature on the planet, but she was just how she dreamed she wanted to be. Danielle couldn't stop the tears from welling up in her eyes. A few tears of joy leaked gently out of her eyes. Merissa saw her joyfulness and hugged Danielle close, kissing her lightly on the cheek. Patting away the tears gently and touching up Danielle's makeup slightly, she gave Danielle soft words of encouragement.
