"How is what Terry and I do different then you and Autumn?", Cougar had grown tired of listening to Velvet's observations on their relationship.
"Autumn and I are monogamous homosexuals. We are lesbians. We are both happily female. We are both fascinated by the female form. We do not betray our form. What you, Patrick Hatherton and before that Paul Warren do is an odd subterfuge. You are not true to your gender or even to your sexuality.", Velvet lectured.
"You are a Tholian hybrid clone and Autumn is a gun loving Betazoid. You are not exact true to your race either.", Cougar more whined then defended herself.
"One thing for sure.. You will never be the princess.", Velvet mocked just as Terry Coren walked into the mess hall.
Terry was furious. He glared at his tactical officer for belittling his first officer.
Cougar finished her shift and returned to his quarters. On the bed was a yellow princess gown. Cougar picked up the dress and twirled around with it. He noticed the note from Terry to put on the gown and to meet him on the holo deck.
Cougar gleefully put on the ground. It made his mixed up bi-gender soul full of life.
Terry met Cougar dressed in the garb of the Prince. She collapsed into his arms. Cougar rested on Terry's legs wondering if it was all worth it. The colony has been a bastion of acceptance, appreciation and new exploration but people still held their prejudices.
Could they continue to stand against this oppression?
