Kyle manages to escape

Kyle knew there wouldn't be much he could do once he got out of the house, given how much MARCI had altered that couldn't be fixed by simply getting a haircut or buying a new set of clothes, but he figured if he played his cards right, he could at least find some semblance of normalcy and maybe if he didn't look like "Kylie", he could convince everyone that it had been a huge misunderstanding. Taking a deep breath and praying to every deity that he could think of, Kyle spoke up.

"MARCI?" Kyle asked.

"Yes, mistress?" MARCI replied. "Do you need anything?"

"Yes, actually. I'd like to go for a walk, maybe do some shopping, would it be possible to get some money?" Kyle asked.

"Certainly, mistress. Would you like to ask any of your friends to accompany you?"

"No!" Kyle shouted. "That's okay, we're meeting up later. I'd like to be alone."

"As you wish." MARCI stated and Kyle heard the whir of the systems.

In short order, Kyle was manhandled once again as a purse was placed around his shoulder, rifling through it, Kyle found a wallet with a credit card in Uncle Mark's name, some makeup, his MARCI-connected smartphone and a tampon. Kyle grimaced at the last item, but quickly regained his composure, heading for the door as quickly as his heeled feet could take him.

"Enjoy your trip, mistress!" MARCI stated as Kyle shut the front door behind him.

"If I can make it to the mall, I can fix my hair, get some new clothes and maybe get rid of these nails..." Kyle thought to himself as he headed out of the door. "But first..."

Kyle spotted a tall potted plant sitting on the porch, far enough from the door that MARCI's arms probably can't reach, and quickly crossed over to it. He took his pink smartphone out of his purse, and dropped it into the pot. After waiting a moment to ensure MARCI didn't have a contingency for it, Kyle grinned and started walking towards the sidewalk. Taking a cursory glance towards Melissa's to ensure that nobody could see him, he started strolling down the hill towards the front gate.

"Finally free!" Kyle threw his arms into the air in victory, which to any passersby would look extremely feminine, but Kyle felt anything but, despite his outwardly feminine appearance. "Free from MARCI, free from the girls, I don't think the mall is all that far, so this shouldn't be that bad..."

After a few minutes of walking, Kyle reached the front gate and headed out of it, remembering the route fairly well, given his numerous trips out with Darla, Melissa and Robin. As he approached a street corner however, he heard a familiar voice cry out,

"Kylie! Is that you?" the voice asked.

Kyle looked towards the source of the voice and his face dropped, because who happened to be in their car stopped at the light, but...
