Lexi's official name, a proper introduction

Male and female Lex looked at one another for a moment as they both said. "Lexi." Lexi gently smiled to Lex. "It'll be a little weird at first, but at least it's fairly similar to our original name, right?" He nodded slightly. "Right." Talking to themselves felt a little weird, like talking out loud, but your inner or outer monologue is the opposite gender. However, they knew they would need to get used to it when amongst family and friends. Things were difficult at the moment, but they were certain this would become easier in time.

Lexi grabbed a hold of the vine rope in front of her. When she pulled herself a few inches upward, her breasts jiggled slightly. Lex's eyes were drawn to the motion, but once locked onto her breasts he couldn't look away. 'Why do they look so tempting?' However, as they both became aroused again, her grip loosen for just a second causing them both to close their eyes in fear. During that split second, she grabbed a hold of that vine again. Their hearts were racing. 'Ugh, we need to stop being perverts for just a second!' They both let out a heavy sigh of relief.

However, while Lexi began to climb that rope again, she glared at Lex. He turned around in place, knowing he just needed to keep his eyes closed a little longer. They both began to chuckle, realizing how ridiculous it was to get so upset at themselves. They both knew why this was a problem, but this was amazing. Their mind was the exact same, but due to the difference in gender and literal locations, their mental and physical perspectives changed drastically. In many ways, it was exhausting too. 'I am sure there are many scientists out there that would love to study us.'

Lexi finally reached the top of the rope and gracefully lifted herself out of that hole. Sofia rushed to her and hugged Lexi tightly. Her hair had changed colors, starting from her left, to red, pink, blue, and white, several strands of hair stood up like little exclamation marks. "I was so worried about you, Lex." Lexi smiled while hugging Sofia in return, but her eyes focused on Fauve, Ziksa, Torral, and Dempsey as they approached. "Is everyone all right?" As the same time, Lex climbed up the vine rope, soon pulling himself up from that hole.

Fauve, Ziksa, Torral, and Dempsey looked at one another before nodding. Ziksa scratched the back of her head. "Yes, we're all right, but we were worried about you. Um...dad?" Lexi shook her head while letting Sofia go from her embrace. "Although I'm still Lex, I'd like you all to refer to me as Lexi while in this form. I know it might not quite be appropriate, but you may call me mom too." With this realization, Ziksa's and Torral's F scores shot up to 75 where as Fauve's and Dempsey's F scores shot up to 50, matching their M scores.

Lex and Lexi smiled, they were doing their best to make this as easy as possible for their kids. His arms spread out as he looked to Fauve, Ziksa, Torral, and Dempsey. "Am I the only one who doesn't get a hug?" His kids smiled and rushed him, giving him a hug. He hugged them all gently in return. Lexi lifted up a hand to caress Sofia's cheek. Sofia nuzzled Lexi's hand while looking over at Lex. "Are you really both the same person?" Lexi and Lex nodded at the same time and said. "Yeah, it's weird for me too."

After a brief explanation, Sofia's and Torral's eyes widened. Although Fauve, Ziksa, and Dempsey were also surprised, it didn't appear to make the same impact. Sofia started to nibble on her bottom lip. "Does this mean you won't be returning to work anymore? Have I lost my big brother?" Tears began to well up in her eyes. Lex gently hugged her while Lexi looked down. "I'm not sure about work, but you'll always have me. I will always be your big brother." Sofia tilted her head slightly while wiping away those tears before they could fall. "Promise?"

Lex smiled as did Lexi. "Promise." Dempsey looked off into the distance towards the coast. "Daddy, will mommy and Gloria be okay? It looks like a storm's approaching." At the same time, a few loud cracking sounds emanating from the forest were heard a mere second before a few trees fell with a loud thud. Ziksa looked toward the forest as did Lexi. "Do you think Divi and Bianca are okay?" When Lexi turned to look at the forest, she had a very worried look upon her face. "I don't know, but I will check on them." At the same time, Lex looked toward the coast with a slightly worried look upon his face. "Don't worry son, I'll go check on them." Dempsey smiled. "Thanks. That's reassuring, daddy."

Sofia gently grabbed Lex's hand. "Do you want me to come with?" He shook his head. "I need you to finish up here with the kids before heading to the castle. Be careful, okay?" She nodded slightly, but didn't let go of his hand. He turned to face her. When he did, her hair and cheeks turned bright pink. "Is there something on my face?" He leaned in slowly. "Not yet." Her cheeks brightened more when he kissed her lips gently. Fauve and Dempsey watched closely while Ziksa and Torral looked slightly away.

Lexi and Lex made sure to hug their children and Sofia before heading off. Sofia, Fauve, Ziksa, Torral, and Dempsey made their way to the last group standing between them and securing the supply lines. However, when Lexi headed to the forest and Lex headed to the coast they began to wonder what they would find. Were Bianca and Divi okay? What about Sazla and Gloria? Are they almost done or not?
