Julia couldn't say with certainty what it was, but she felt far more able to get into Julia now than any other point before this.
"Congrats, sis!" Johanna announced and Julia cracked a smile. After struggling for so long, things had become easy once more. It was the oddest feeling. She had just finished her proper contest routine. It had taken a couple of weeks of planning, practicing and then actually doing the routine, Julia had actually done it.
"Thanks..." Julia answered, her cheeks now glowing red. Happy as she was to get some encouragement from her sister, a different thought had come to her. One in regards to her appearance. While the clothes had gone a long way to getting her closer to the goal, there was still something missing - her body. Once those parts had been sorted, she could truly be Julia and go down her path. Or at least, that was how it felt. Whether or not it actually would be that way, remained to be. "Sis, do you think we schedule my plastic surgery and stuff?"
Johanna let out a sigh. As much as she knew this moment would come, it didn't make it any less tense.
Schedule the first of many appointments?
