Maggie and Taylor were laughing as they came into the house. The various transformations and transitions that people had chosen had not proceeded altogether smoothly. Ineptly applied lipstick, poorly tied neckties, uptight people suddenly deciding to dress more in accordance with their inner slutty natures and ending up a little grotesque. Skinny girls deciding it was time to embrace their inner fat chick and eating messily. But people were helping each other out too and most of the laughter that rang through the school was without cruelty. Taylor had intervened to make a few paths a little smoother (turning the mess that Josie had made of her eyeliner into something cute, for example) and silenced a few bullies (one particularly homophobic offensive lineman, unable to see what he regarded as the bulwark of his manhood, football, be taken over by a bunch of "gender weirdos" without lashing out was beginning a new life as a toddler girl, with her future sexuality set to "femme lesbian.")
"Maggie, Taylor, this is my friend Dana who you may remember. Dana, this is Maggie and Taylor." said Gabriel.
Dana recognized Maggie, but was stunned by the girl she was with.
