Good and Now

Finally a calm day (rough draft v1)

Ariea's first mobile patrol was a smooth ride, both she and Commander Steel gliding through the city on their respective bikes, vigilant and ready to respond. Turns out Commander Steal had a bike, car, and could create a ultra light glider. So she could train with any rookie regardless of type of conveyance. The thrill of the ride was a welcome sensation for Ariea, and AISYS was ever present, monitoring their surroundings and providing real-time updates.

The day went by quietly, just as the first patrol should have, with only a few minor crimes requiring intervention. A pickpocket here, a small traffic altercation there; it was all in a day's work.

During a brief lull in the patrol, Ariea decided to reach out to Felicia, the saleswoman from the Honda dealer. With AISYS's assistance, so she could keep her hands on the bike, she composed a text, inviting her out for a weekend date.

Felicia's response was quick, filled with enthusiasm but tinged with a hint of shyness. 'I'm excited to go out with you, Ariea, but I've never actually dated a girl before. Hope that's okay :)'

Ariea couldn't help but smile at Felicia's honesty. Typing back, she tried to clear up any confusion. 'Hey Felicia, just to clarify, I'm actually a guy. Might look like a woman right now, but trust me, I'm still me inside.'

Felicia's next text came quickly, full of apologies. 'Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't realize you were trans. That's totally fine with me!'

Ariea's eyes widened, realizing the complexity of the situation. He wasn't trans, but explaining his unique circumstances seemed impossible without revealing his secrests, over text even more so. 'I'm not exactly trans. It's... complicated. Can I explain during our date?'

Felicia's response was filled with warmth and understanding. 'Whatever you consider yourself, I'm bi, and you're too hot not to give it a shot, lol! Looking forward to our date
