Zach is chasing Nikki! That’s the bad news.

The worse news - for Nikki, anyway, not for us - is that she's running out of locker room. And when you can’t run anymore, you might have to do the one thing Nikki fears more than going back to Clinic 12: talk about her feelings.

I know. Terrifying.

26 panels! Can’t wait to hear what you think! 💕

This is great. I mean so so so good. Character and dialogue all finished with such involving artwork. This is what makes your stories so captivating. You take the time with the plot and characters and that's why the emotional hits are so powerful. xxx

I was looking forward to this resolution episode in which this clearing of air and the confusion and misunderstanding between Zach and Nikki. I also was pleased and interested to see the enormity of the vast differences between Nikki and Zach’s physiques. The images of Zach on 9 and 10 highlight to Nikki just how different she is from him. I just wish Zach came to love his body. It seems that his resentment, a significant part at least, is to do with how it is representative of the control his dad exerts over him . I’m relation to Nikki working out plans. l do hope her efforts moreover reveal and highlight to her just how different her body now is from what it was. How now her body is more aligned to that of the average girl. I’m going to be further a bit nasty here, (at least from Nikki’s point of view), that she also learns that no matter how hard she works out, due to super hormones that she is on, it is impossible for her to put on size and strength. As I said great resetting chapter. I’m just hoping now, in a future episode, for a mistake to occur in Zach or Nikki timing schedule around their arrival or departure from their new daily shower arrangement. Looking forward here to them both experiencing a slow increase in their feelings of physical attraction developing to each other. These, as I said are just some of my wishful thoughts and hopes.

It's lovely to see Nikki looking so happy in the final panel. All the same, I really don't think that this will work (but we'll see). "Sorry is just a word people say so they can feel better about doing nothing." Nikki is so not English! In England, 'sorry' is a social lubricant that can mean all sorts of things, not excluding 'you're an idiot and are talking crap'. Zach and Nikki being two sides of the same transformation coin is interesting and poignant. I would once have welcomed Nikki's transformation (although I'm way too old for it now) whereas I would always have hated suffering Zach's transformation.

I'm always happy to see a story in this universe. Nikki & Zach needed to have this conversation. Now I'm going to go reread the entire Half Sisters story so far. Thanks for the story, Emory!

Tim

Nikki and Zach have suffered similar fates, their bodies having been transformed according to the desires and dictates of the same rich, controlling, sadistic, evil man—Hutchinson. Both seem to envy the results the other has achieved. if given the opportunity and choice, would Nikki swap her supply of pink super hormone vials in exchange for Zach's blue vials? While they'll likely never return to their former selves, might that bring them closer to how they truly see themselves? More importantly, perhaps, might that be an answer to them reasserting control of their own fates?

Eva Grimm

And so, the day was saved! Thanks to... just fucking talking to one another lol. Jokes aside, I know that people not talking to each other thus perpetuating a misunderstanding between them is a bread and butter technique for creating drama, but it sure is nice to see people in a story just come together and talk it out. Sometimes everything gets resolved, sometimes it makes things worse, sometimes it's somewhere in between. But at least they *tried*

Eva Grimm

Forget to say before I hit send: Thank you for another lovely chapter! Art and writing were great as always 💜

Jenny S

Communication! You love to see it! A fantastic chapter and a sweet reset of Nikki and Zach's relationship. Which I still don't think is going to be a romantic one. Not just Nikki being a trans woman deep in the egg (at least that's my reading) and Zach being exclusively attracted to men, but Nikki's physical attraction with Zach is for a body the poor guy feels dysmorphic in. These two are going to be good friends and partners in crime in dealing with Hutchinson, but I don't see any version of them being together romantically. But that's just a theory. A Jenny Theory! Great work as always, Emory! <3

Sarah Wolf

I'm really curious to see where this goes...

Hutchinson...did you traumatize your own and only son? What have you done, Hutch? HUTCH???? HHHHUUUUUTTTTTCCCCCCHHHHHHH???? What an utterly loathsome, morally bankrupt garbage of a character, my muse. He makes no appearance but ALL I see is two people traumatized by him talking it out for 28 superbly illustrated and write Daz3D panels. Also, can someone please refresh my memory? Where is St. Christopher's located? I remember reading Mrs. Ferris and she mentioned Sprinvieew, Springdale or Spring something, Texas.

Annette

Good chat 😊 I'm glad Nikki and Zatch got it out in the open and reconciled. Nikki, ever a competitor, is getting better at exploring and talking about feelings. She may not realize it, but she is conquering that challenge 🏆 Looking forward to these two finding the end of the rainbow! (pun so intended) 🌈

Annette

PS: the speech bubble is wrong colour in panel 15.

Hmmm... Nikki going to become a muscle mommy

Gymbrat Brooke

Apparently I'm *inspiring* I tragically lack emotionally attractive people to spot my workouts 🤭

Jade Diaz

You know who feels sorry for Zatch being jacked? Not me, that’s who. God an entire installment with a skimpy little towel wrapped around his legs… mmm. Beefcake.

Over all I loved this and the last episodes. As always your artwork is incredible. Nikki is Venus and Zach is David (maybe Hegseth needs to consult Hutchinson about "High T" HRT? 😂). And perhaps Sandy is Helen of Troy. We will have to wait and see how many ships her face launches or it it brings nationsto war over her. Her face yes, her snoring, no! 😉 These episodes gave a bid of slice of life for Nikki and Sandy, highlighted Nikki's ongoing dismophia between her body as it currenly presents and her intenral identification, tied in part to how she use to physically present. We see Nikki in the quad experiencing life from the other side, and taking no shit. A bit of the old Nicky and perhaps glimpses of the new Nikki. We also see her refusal to deal and absolute denial of her reality, seeking to try and fall back to old safe places for Nick. I absolutely get and appreciate all that, and it does help to further develop and move the story. I also appreciate the conversation between Nikki and Zach. They needed to clear the air about the date, about their friendship, about their shared victimhood by Hutchinson, and about their disappointments in one another. Both of them have things they need to own. So that talk was crucial to bringing Zach around to "Team Nikki". At least until Mondo arrives back on the scene. I would have been curious to have seen Zach and Mondo's drive back to their apartment, or the converation they had when they got home about Nikki. I think there is more going on with Mondo, but not sure when we will get to see it, or is he simply going to slide off into a NPC role? It was also good to see Nikki get a does of reality in seeing even her "safe place" is no longer what it was and Hutchinson has very definative put his mark on it with new gym. While Nikki wants very much to be "Dorathy" (So does Zack, but that is a whole other story 😉) clicking her heals and saying "there is no place like home". I am afraid the lesson she has to learn right now is from Thomas Wolfe, "You can't go home again"! While I am not a fan of the Nikki-Zack romantic angle for many reasons, I think it was actually to have Nikki have to confront these new, strage, and scary feelings and emotions randumly flooding over her from the hormone therapy. Where she winds up when all is done, who knows, but I expect before it is over we may find Nikki exploring and experimenting with players from both teams. Though I still think her trauma is too great to even be thinking about romantic or sexual encounter for Nikki yet. But Nikki needs to start learning to read and understand her feelings and emotions. That seems to be somthing Nikki never learned, but now with Nikki experiencing a whole new spectrum and plain of emotions that don't come with a users manual.

Crewchick

So with so much good about these two episodes, I am a bit retisent to share some criticisms. So maybe it is best to just jump right into it. I am having a problem with the whole fear of using the women's shared shower room an lavatory. And her using the football team's locker room showers in the stadium. Also the whole lack of Hutchinson engagement post date and with the first week of school. Unless Hutchinson is in a Morasoni POW camp I would think there would be a call back to check on things, or at least a very long and detailed list of reqirements or expectations for Nick presenting on the campus for the very first time. I would expect someone like Hutchinson who is such a control freak, to have procured a whole wardrobe for Nikki, a list of classes he expected her to take and clubs and sororities he expected her to join or pledge. In fact I am surprised he had not already prepaid and arranged her membership in the Zeta Roses. They seem like just the kind of girls Hutchinson would want Nikki to emulate. And along those lines, I would expect Hutchinson to have a required beauty routine for Nikki to follow, so she looks every bit the part of a Texas girl suitable in beauty, style and everythings to date his son. So either Nikki gets real confortable sharing a bathroom with 40 other girls in various states of dress, or Hutchinson and Mrs Ferris split the cost of a double room with a private bath, or pay the school to make one ASAP. Ans since we are on the bathroom topic, Nikki went to the ladies room in the sushi resturant. She even had a conversation with a girl there about Zach and did not seem freaked out. She seemed composed enough to defend Zach. And after her trip to the mall where she changed in the men's room and ran into Ron on the way out, I assumed Nikki decided men's rooms were no longer a safe place for her. And if that is the case, I likewise assumed she was usign a Ladies Room when in public. Since all business is done in stalls, that would seem to be a far safer place for her. I assuemd that since the dorm women's showers were also private stalls, that would be a far safer place for Nick that a men's locker room with no privacy at all. Which brings me to the whole lockeroom scene. It just seems too far fetched. No matter how distressed Nikki might be, and how much she might be craving the comfort of a familier place, even she, maybe especially she, should know the locker room is not the place. Team locker rooms are sacrosanc. No one but team members are allowed in them. And clearly Nikki is not a member of the men's football team. At schools where football ia a major part of the school, the stadium, lockerrooms and team spaces are going to be locked, and after hours access is going to be tracked with signin logs, and today with digital key cards. So any player coming in early or staying late will likely be swiping in and out. From school shootings to athletic espionage (some teams might stoop pretty far to acquire a rivals playbook) there are a lot of reasons to maintain tightr security. Not to mention the $100K or so of athletic equipment in Hutchinson's new gym and all the video equipment in the team briefing and film reviewing room. And even if the school is still using a 1980's push button combo door lock that Nikki still remembers the combo to, it is very likely that the gym and locker room are not empty at 7:00 am. There are only so many hours in a day and team practices take up a certain amount of it. During the season most of the practice time is going to be on the field making the most of daylight and after class time. But athletes still need to get in their lifting, running or other cardio. They also may be putting in extra time stdying films of their performance or prepping for the next opponent. So even at 6:00 am, there is a good chance, like we see with Zach, of players being there at the gym, running laps around the field, or reviewing game foottage. Especially of they ar esecond string, because they are going to do everything they can to try and make first string. So a girl in her PJ's walking into the men's locker room at 7:00 am, especially at a Christian school, it is going to set off a lot of alarm bells. And that brings me to the GPS tracker inside her. After the incident at Hutchinson's house, he has got to think Nikki is far from stable and very much a loose cannon. Even with Zach's intervention to keep Hutchinson from moving Nikki onto the Hutchinson ranch. He obviously (and thankkfully) had someone tracking Nikki when she had the heatstroke. I am surprised one of Hutchinson's paid watchers was not chasing after her when she was crossing campus in her PJ's headed to the stadium at 7:00 am. I am in no way rooting for Hutchinson, but he is risking a lot with his plan. All his "toys" have been strictly for home use. Nikki started out a toy and was moved to the Companion program and put on a fast track. Nikki showed great potential, but she is not a truly finished and refined product. He has her living out in the real world, and returned her to her home town filled with people she knows, but who do not know her. This would be hell for Nikki just so. Then Hutchinson has these unrealistic exptectstions of Nikki transforming into the perfect Stepford Coed. All so she can be Zach's girlfriend and beard, so no one thinks Zach is gay and Zach can run for Senate and Governor and President to make his daddy's wildest dreams come true. Nikki still has her male plumbing, so showers, locker rooms, medical exams, and anything else along those lines is a risk. Nikki's boy brain and social awkwardness are a risk. Nikki just losing it under all the pressure is a risk. And since Nikki is "dating" Zach, is she blows her cover, it will all blow back on Zach. And the scandal would also likely blow back on Hutchinson himself. And "Zach for President" collapses faster than a sand castle in a rising tide. It is for these reasons I would expect Hutchinson to have Nikki tightly scripted and choreographed, and under close observation. Able to swing in and quickly extract Nikki before the worst can happen. Plus even the Second Dawn training is inconsistent. Nikki can do plawless makeup instinctively without thought, but she does not understand the need for more than a 3 in 1 body wash and shampoo in her morning routine. She wears short shorts and baby doll tees like she is born in them, but has issues with dresses and skirts that cover far more than her shorts. I absolutely love Nikki, but the inconsistencies sometimes can be distracting.

Claire

Great episode! I understood that Zach wasn’t a willing participant in his dad’s sick universe but it was very interesting hearing from Zach what could only be described as his dysphoria/dysmorphia. I’m very sorry for him but I like the way it forged this bond between Zach and Nikki. Can’t wait for what’s next!

Thomas Tolliver

Inspiring is one word for it. We're not peeking into anyone else's preferences, are we? 😂 Ah, being pan is fun.

pe zr

very very nice! I can hope in happy ending in future, another kiss and maybe something more...

AB

Nikki is so easy to fool, meanwhile Zach the ripper extends his clutches.

TheVampire

Nikki and Zach always the cutest couple!

Kris Greg

OKAY! I've re-read the series. I'm NOT looking forward to the end of this season because you always leave me wanting more in this universe. I hope that Jill survives her current predicament (anxiously waiting on that), & finds her way to join Nikki & Sandy in some way. I know that you have something good planned!

Emory Ahlberg

Thanks, Gemma! Zach liked being light and quick and built to dance. That takes its own kind of strength. Worse, now whenever he works out with the team it happens under a plaque his dad installed. Will he make peace with the body? We'll see... As for Nikki - yeah, she’s back on the twenty-pound dumbbells she outgrew in seventh grade and benching an empty bar. Her body’s going to keep reminding her what changed whether she wants the reminder or not. But she can still get stronger!

Emory Ahlberg

Thanks, Kris! Fair warning: Mortimer’s a different guy the second time through once you know about the tea parties with little Simon!

Emory Ahlberg

Ha! Nikki’s a Texan, Pet. Down there “sorry” means sorry, and “bless your heart” means you’re an idiot talking shit. And you’re right about the coin. Each of them is walking around in the body the other one misses. Zach wants to be light enough to dance again (maybe in a dress), and Nikki would trade a kidney for his shoulders. As for whether the shower plan holds up... twenty minutes isn’t much of a buffer for two people with their luck, lol

Gemma

Hopefully not too much stronger. I certainly want her to experience and know that she is notably less strong now than the average guy. Here’s hoping.

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Eva! Ha, Nikki tried everything to avoid that conversation. Two weeks of dodged texts, then a full sprint through the locker room in flip-flops! I think the hardest thing for her to admit that her heatstroke brain picked Zach as the guy coming to save her. And thank you for complimenting the art!!! 💖

Gemma

Now you have me intrigued about what you mean when referring to Mortimer being different guy and tea parties with Simon!

Gemma

I do feel a bit hypocritical here, I really want Zach to overcome his feelings of dysphoria about his body and want him to love and fully embrace his muscular and masculine form.

Emory Ahlberg

I’m sorry you’ve had to carry it this long, Lexi. 💕

Emory Ahlberg

Ha, I love a Jenny Theory! Right now, Nikki doesn’t know whether she wants Zach or wants to be Zach. Saying his muscles were only “inspiring” may be the worst cover story she’s told since “it IS a hormone thing.” Although if anybody said “egg” to her face right now, she’d go looking for a rock haha Partners in crime, though? Hell yes. Hopefully. that forearm clasp in the weight room was them signing the contract. 💕

Emory Ahlberg

Right now she’s benching an empty bar, so we’re at muscle toddler - but give her time lol

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Crystal! I think the drama stuff doesn't land as well unless I let them be ridiculous first. 😉

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Tim! 💖 Nikki certainly would do the swap... Zach probably wouldn't. I don't think he wants the womanly changes that would come along with that. Right now, the closest either one has come to choosing is Nikki hauling twenty-pound dumbbells into the woods because she’s sick of being called skinny. It’s tiny, but it’s something and control has to start somewhere small before it gets anywhere big!

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Vamp. But don’t let Nikki hear you say “couple.” She’ll call it a tactical partnership and then turn red 😉

Emory Ahlberg

LOL - Nikki spent the whole episode yelling at him to put clothes on, and when he asked to grab a shirt before spotting her, she said no. She’s on your side although she’ll never admit it.

Emory Ahlberg

Thanks, Claire! 💖 I think the line that got through to Nikki was Zach asking if looking incredible on the date made it okay. Up to then she figured he had nothing to complain about. Neither of them can say “I hate this body” without somebody telling them how great they look. Now she realizes there’s one person on campus who gets it.

Emory Ahlberg

Ha, Annette! She walked away from D&D because there’s no way to win. Put a scoreboard on feelings and she’ll be the most emotionally fluent person in Texas by Christmas lol P.S. Good eye, thank you!

Emory Ahlberg

Zach the Ripper - LOL! His big evil scheme this episode was a 7 a.m. shower and a towel. You’re not wrong that he’s keeping things from her, though. And Nikki opened by threatening to punch him, so she’s not as easy to fool as she looks haha

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you! Nikki can’t stop thinking about the first one, so I wouldn’t rule anything out. 💕

Emory Ahlberg

Careful, Thomas. The last guy who asked Nikki about her preferences got grabbed by the shirt in the middle of a Buc-ee’s! lol

Annette

LOL, so true about Nikki! And you are welcome, dear Emory! ☺️

Emory Ahlberg

Ha! Thank you, Diana. Yeah. Helen launched a thousand ships. Sandy’s snoring would sink them. Mando’s got plenty of opinions about Nikki, and he isn’t close to done sharing them. I imagine we'll probably see a confrontation between them at some point - and Nikki will probably be blindsided. And, yeah, the no-manual thing is the heart of it for me. Nikki’s feelings came with a playbook - and her dad wrote it - so every play was “run it again, harder.” She still has a lot to learn...

Emory Ahlberg

Diana, don’t hold back with me! So, the bathroom thing comes down to what happens in the room, I think. And, honestly, this comes a little from my own personal experiences. The Rodeo Rolls bathroom was just a stall for two minutes in the middle of a date, when she was “on the mission." She’ll use the women’s room in public when she’s out of options (like at the mall), and since it’s a bathroom, it’s survivable. But the dorm showers are different because that’s forty girls she’ll be living down the hall from for a year, undressed in the same space. She just doesn't feel right among them like that, and after two years of Davis deciding who got to see her body - and how much of it - she’s not about to be the person in somebody else’s space who (in her mind) shouldn’t be there. As for the locker room, she was QB1 there and used to sneak out the back whenever Coach was in a mood, so if there’s a door that doesn’t latch or a code nobody’s bothered to change, Nikki knows about it! And you’re right that it wasn’t empty, which is kind of the whole joke. Zach picked 7 a.m. because it’s the one hour he can count on having the place to himself, and she walked right into him. She did mention the rest of the team don't use those showers except when they have to because they suck. Hutchinson’s been quiet on purpose. He’s fresh out of the hospital with a rock-shaped dent in his head from Ms. Palmer, he’s got a big night coming up on the island, and most of all, Nikki is Zach’s job. Leonard wants his son to be the one laying down the law, and the one time he stepped in himself, he got 47 stitches for his trouble. He’s a businessman, and he saw the reports from the date - there was hand holding, laughing, the two of them running off together. And kissing! So, from where he sits, the product’s performing! He's smart enough to know you don’t micromanage something that’s working as intended. He’s got the app and he’s watching, so he doesn’t need to pick up the phone. The Second Dawn stuff is more about how the toys are viewed. Davis trained her for the show, with the makeup marathons and the posture and the voice, but the handlers would have handed her a shampoo without telling her what it was or why because she didn't need to know. The whole plan was for somebody else to make those choices for her (and the rest of the toys) once they're delivered. Oh, and shorts are what she wore to practice for ten years, so they read as gym clothes to her, whereas a dress feels like a costume. That's why she lit up at the mall when she found out pants were allowed. Thank you for reading this close. It makes me better at this! 💕

Emory Ahlberg

Ha, Alex, he’d take that as a compliment. In Leonard’s head he didn’t traumatize his son, he “forged a man,” and he paid to have it engraved on a bronze plaque so nobody forgets.

Emory Ahlberg

Wow! 💕 Thank you, Kris! That's a huge compliment that you went back to re-read. 😊 Nikki hasn’t forgotten what Jill did for her, and she isn’t the type to let a debt like that go. 💖

Kris Greg

You are right about Mortimer, but I realized that I was wrong about him in the more recent chapters during my first read through.

Emory Ahlberg

Oh! I also wanted to add that it's true that we haven't seen Hutchinson in a while, but that will change pretty soon. I wanted to focus the start of Season 3 on Sandy and Nikki establishing themselves at college before bringing in any of the larger plot elements. For us in the real world, the last time Nikki had to deal directly with Hutchinson was quite a while ago - but for Nikki the whole "Jackson / Janice" incident was only about three weeks ago!
