Vanessa

Great. That's the screen that shows up, signifying Vanessa's victory. Vanessa let out a sigh of relief, leaning against the cabinet.

"You got some mad skills for a total slut" the guy she was playing says.

"Why can't we just take her anyways" another guy says

"Because a deals a deal"

The group grumbles, and walks off. Vanessa lets out a huge sigh of relief, glad she's been able to make it out as unscathed as she could hope for. She runs her hands up and down the costume. Her tits fitting almost comfortably into it, giving her a feeling of confidence she's never really had before. She decides she's going to go through with the purchase.

"Hey, you're back, you like the costume?" The store guy says.

"Yeah I think I found something that fits me, ya know?" Vanessa says, pulling out her wallet

"Right on, thanks for your business" the clerk says, taking her money.

Vanessa begins to leave the mall, a successful day in the books. She walks with more pep in her step, feeling confident after winning her dignity from those boys, still dressed as asuka. People still stare, sure, but Vanessa doesn't feel bad about it. She makes it to the parking lot no issues.

As Vanessa takes in the fresh air on her skin, she feels a sense of contentment, a feeling of freedom. Heck, little things, since her hair is short now it's not blowing in the wind. But, when she goes to get in her car.

It's not there.

Vanessa begins to panic, and searches around for it, trying to use her key fob to locate it, but it's nowhere to be found, then a limo pulls up.

"Salut mademoiselle." A woman dressed like Lily from Tekken steps out.

"Did you-" Vanessa gets cut off

"Of course silly, but let me properly introduce myself. My name is Rose, and I see you're into cosplay too. I actually fully embrace it though, dressing fully, and living my life as Lily rochefort. When I saw you dressed as my in game rival, I just had to take advantage, so I had your car towed."

"I got this costume at random. I'm just trying to go back home, please, just-" Vanessa feels her hand grabbed by rose, a flush appearing on her cheeks.

"I'll pay for it myself. Come with me Vanessa, I have a feeling we can have so much fun together" Rose says, a beautiful smile on her face.

Vanessa's breath hitches, is this why she's always resisted the advances of everyone, is this why she's always felt no love? Could she be? Maybe in this timeline, but Vanessa's still hesitant. In the end
