The Pop Idol

Being backstage at the concert did nothing to drown out the roar of the crowd waiting for them to perform. The stadium was coming alive with excitement as they waited for the brother and sister teen mega duo to perform on stage.

Coby and Leia are due on stage in just under an hour. Usually, the pair are frantically getting ready, but Coby has a huge issue and he needs her help!

Still in his tracksuit, Coby approaches Leia’s dressing room door and knocks hard.

“Leia,” he calls out. “Can I come in?”

Waiting patiently, the door eventually slightly opens and Leia peers around it.

“Oh, Coby,” she says, giving her younger brother a wide smile. “Come in come in!”

Stepping into her dressing room, Coby looks around at the mess she’s been making. Clothes and outfits are strewn around the place. He knows it’s far from normal for her.

“Everything ok?” He asks, looking around as Leia closes the door behind her.

Leia gives out a little sigh as she sees him pick up a small black top from a pile on the floor. “They’ve got my costumes all wrong. I’ve only got this one that fits me!”

Leia opens out her body and her barely supported chest bounces in the skimpy halter neck she has on.

Staring back at him with worry, Coby studies the performance outfit his sister is wearing. The small black and yellow mini skirt and the crop halter top aren’t what they had planned.

“Oh,” Coby says, understanding why it’s so messy.

Flicking at her long maroon hair, Leia frowns. “Yes, very stressful right now!”

Leia then turns her attention to her younger brother's lack of outfit. He looks scruffy and his long maroon hair is tied back like a bird's nest.

“Coby!” Leia says, gritting her teeth in worry. “You’re still wearing your track suite!? You haven’t even had your hair or makeup done!?”

Coby looks down at himself. It instantly makes him remember why he’s there.

“Oh right,” he replies, shaking his head. “My costume team is stuck in traffic! They’ve got all my clothing in the van! Currently, I’ve got nothing to go on stage with!”

“You’re joking!?” Leia huffs, trying to keep her cool. “What are you going to wear then!?”

Coby shrugs. “No idea!”

“Our fans Coby!?” Leia screeches, throwing her arms up. “We can’t let them down!”

Tapping her chin several times, Leia looks Coby up and down. Being the older sister, she feels obliged to sort out the situation.

“Leia?” Coby asks, watching his sister frown and pull faces. “Shall I just call Darby and he can sort something for us?”

“I don’t think our manager is going to be able to sort your hair, outfit, and makeup in just under an hour!” Leia answers, speaking fast in panic.

Still holding the small black halter neck top he’s picked up off the floor earlier, he holds it up to her. A thought has popped into his mind, and this might be his only chance to suggest it.

He goes to open his mouth and share with her his Idea, but he’s nervous. His voice cracks and he chickens out as she just stares at him.

“Do you think Emily would do your hair and makeup!?” Leia asks, causing Coby to shy away from sharing his idea.

“I dunno,” Coby answers with a shake of his head. “I guess we can ask.”

Having lost his confidence to share his idea, the nervous silence only highlights to wall of noise coming from the crowd waiting for them.

“She’ll have to do!?” Leia eventually commands, turning around to exit her dressing room. “I’ll go and call for her and hopefully she can do something with you!”

Just as Coby opens his mouth again to make his suggestion, but Leia has already turned and bolted out of the door in a rush. He’s left standing in her dressing room deflated that she didn’t give him chance to tell her his plan.

Unsure what to do next, Coby looks around at the outfits left discarded on the floor. Some of them are sparkly, some bright pink and some are even very similar to what Leia was wearing.

He’s been desperate to share something with his sister for ages, but he can never find the right time. He’s worried what she and all the fans will think. He doesn’t want to ruin the good thing they’ve got going.

Coby lifts the small, soft halter neck top and studies it. It’s small little straps and glossy black color kinda match the accent’s of the outfit Leia had on.

Leia’s outfit was black and golden. Wanting to match that, Coby spots a glossy golden mini skirt on the floor. One that was clearly too small for his older sister.

“Should I?” Coby asks himself, reaching down to pick up the mini skirt.

Holding the skirt to his waist, he can only wonder what she’d say. He also knows that this might be his only chance to suggest something radical for them as a duo, thanks to the wardrobe issues.

Nodding Is head with confidence as he makes his decision, he places the skirt and halter on a nearby table top. Throwing his arms up, he pulls his hoody clean off and throws it to the floor.

In equally frantic fashion, he pulls down his pants and his t-shirt. Standing in just his briefs, he picks up the halter neck top and holds it against his flat hairless chest. Looking like it might just fit his male body, he smirks.

Over the last year of the tour, he’d seen Leia get ready in garments just like it many times. He’s been harbouring a little jealousy for the cute outfits she gets to wear. Just holding the halter neck to his body makes him all excited.

Throwing caution to the wind, he threads himself into the top. Having to force it down over his chest, he feels it constricting him with how tight it is. He pulls it as far down as the straps will allow and it only just reaches his midriff.

“This is different,” he says, touching the soft material stretched across his flat chest.

Reaching for the skirt, he holds it against his waist. Looking down at his almost baby smooth legs, he feels glad he’s got such light hair on his body.

Stepping into the skit, he brings it up to just underneath his belly button. He knows this is the height Leia wears hers. Flapping down at the skirt, he’s ecstatic with how well it fits him.

Turning to look into Leia’s full-length mirror, he’s shocked to see himself showing so much skin. Running his hands across his narrow shoulders, he slowly moves down to touch his exposed midriff.

“Is this what it’s like?” he asks himself as stares in awe at his reflection. “Might be more comfortable to dance in.”

He feels extremely exposed, but at the same time he feels incredibly empowered.

Unable to take his eyes off his now extremely feminine looking appearance, he reaches up to his hair and the man bun he’s been sporting all day.

Pulling out his hair tie, he shakes out his hair allows it to fall around his shoulders. Having much longer hair than his sister, he’s always felt a little embarrassed, but he knows his fans love it. Has he plays and flicks his long hair out, it covers his shoulders and his appearance is transformed.

Now with wide eyes, he can’t believe just how much like his sister! A much younger and petite version, but his sister non the less!

With his hair down and one of her outfits on, he could swear that she’s staring back at him in the mirror. Not a single thing about his appearance is remotely masculine.

That’s when the door opens, and he jumps up in fright! Instantly, he wants to hide, but it’s already too late.

“Excuse me?” Leia says impolitely, staring daggers as he slowly turns to face her. “This is MY dressing room! The backing dancer dressing room is down the hall!”

Coby is confused. “Wha….?” He mumbles.

“Look lively!” his sister complains, now holding the door open. “Come on now…. me and my brother need to get ready!”

Stunned at how she’s speaking to him, he stands frozen to the spot. Leia then looks around the room confused.

“Have you seen him?” she asks, stepping further into the room with purpose. “Oh, where’s he gone now!?”

Coby looks down at his skirt and soon understands. She doesn’t recognise him. She must be in such a stress, she see’s a just a normal girl.

“L-Leia…,” Coby manages to force himself to say, stopping her from looking around the dressing room. “It’s me…. C-Coby.”

Leia instantly stops searching and just gawks at Coby. This makes Coby go bright red and look down at the floor.

“Coby…?” Leia asks, bemused.

Coby nods.

Moving to stand just in front of him, Leia swipes away some of his long maroon hair from his face. Very embarrassed, Coby only quickly glances up at her as she stares down at him.

“Oh My Gosh!” Leia gasps, bringing both her hands to her mouth. “What are you wearing Coby!?”

Coby’s mouth goes completely dry. Feeling ashamed of himself, he hangs his head. Leia then starts looking around him at the outfit he’s put on. She gently pulls his halter neck straight and she adjusts to height of his skirt.

Coby just stands still, waiting for Leia to scold him.

“Interesting….,” Leia says, muttering to herself as she fluffs up Coby’s long hair. “Very interesting.”

“I’m sorry,” Coby eventually speaks up, stepping back from her.

“About?” Leia asks, tilting her head to one side.

“I-I-I-I…just thought….,” Coby starts to explain, his mouth speaking quicker than his brain can think. “These…don’t fit you, but they do me and I don’t have an outfit for the show!”

“Right….?” Leia grins, putting a single hand onto her hip. “So, you thought you’d wear some of mine? You thought you’d dress as a girl?”

Coby looks up at his sister and smirks. “Y-yeah…...”

Leia raises a single eyebrow before stepping closer to him. Coby flinches as Leia peals back the top of his skirt to look at his underwear underneath.

“Coby!” Leia laughs, shaking her head. “You can’t wear skirts like this with such frumpy male underwear underneath. If you’re serious about this being your outfit for tonight’s show, we need to get you into something more fitting.”

“Like…?” Coby asks, concerned.

Leia walks over to a nearby pile of clothing and picks out what looks like a very tight pair of shorts. She brings them over to him and holds them up.

“These are a pair of my performance underwear,” she explains. “You’ll need to wear something like this with a skirt that short. Otherwise, everything will be out to see when we start dancing.

Coby smiles at his sister.

Leia smiles back.

“I can’t believe how adorable you look,” Leia remarks, reaching out to touch his hair. “You’re the last place I thought I’d have competition for being the cutest teen idol!”

“You think I’m cute!?” Coby squeaks, blown away.

“Yeah!” Leia replies, giving him a serious look.

“You’re not annoyed?” Coby asks.

“Not at all!” Leia answers, patting her brother gently on the head. “If this is what you want, then I’m one hundred percent behind you. Plus, it solves outfit issues completely!”

Leia then leans forward to look him deep in the eyes. “This is what you want…. Right?”

Coby smiles and nods

“Cool!” Leia smiles wide. “The media are going to go crazy about this! I’m so excited!”

That’s when a knock of the door causes them both to look around. Emily, Leia’s stylist pokes her head through the door.

“Emily!” Leia squeaks, desperate for her to come inside. “Come in! We’ve got serious work to do in here!”

Emily opens the door wide and steps inside. Looking around, she’s confused. “Where’s your brother?”

“Here,” Leia giggles, pushing Coby forward.

Emily looks down at Coby in his mini skirt and her face lights up. “Aww…!”

“Focus!” Leia says, commanding the room. “We need to get his makeup done, his hair set and some kitten heels!”

“Right away!” Emily replies, rushing over to the makeup mirror.

Holding her hands on Coby’s bare shoulders, Leia guides him into her makeup chair.

“Thank you, sis,” Coby says as their eyes meet in the vanity mirror.

Leia grins wide and leans forward to whisper into his ear. “We’re going to smash this gig tonight, aren’t we…. lil sis!”

Coby blushes. “Yeah!”
