My own characters, just a bit of fun.

Charlie had organised a Christmas pantomime for the children's hospital this year. Roxy was all for him being nice and friendly, but why was he such an idiot? When the kindly middle-aged lady playing the fairy godmother fell ill, Charlie was quick and:

"I'll do it! I'll be the fairy godmother! I'll put on a dress, I don't care!"

"You could be a fairy godfather." Liam suggested, tapping his pen repeatedly on his ever-present clipboard.

"No, no. Fairy godmother." Charlie insisted. Claire and Becky from the stylist group sidled over and started taking measurements and giggling to each other.

"We'll have to alter the dress a bit and, um, you, but-"

"Do not encourage him!" Roxy ordered fiercely, shooing them away.

"No!" Charlie protested childishly. "Make me pretty!"

"Are you sure he's not bi?" Liam quizzed, smiling bemusedly.

"Oh, I don't know." Roxy sighed, running her hands through her hair irritably. "It's Charlie. Unless it's got flashing lights and sirens, it's a bloody mystery!"

"Charlie, are you bi?"

"Liam. Just because a guy wants to get in touch with his feminine side does not make him bi. Or gay for that measure."

"We know you're not gay; you've got a girlfriend." Charlie smiled sweetly at Roxy, cheekily blowing a kiss her way. Roxy rolled her eyes- there was no changing his mind. "How on earth did you get a girlfriend?"

"Femininity, my dear Liam. They like a guy who'll cook and help with the housework and not leave the toilet seat up." The last bit was accompanied by a pointed look. Liam grumbled some very choice words, telling the stylist team to be brutal with their work. "Go crazy." He smirked.

"But not too crazy. I just had my nails done." Charlie waggled his fingers at them, making them laugh.

Roxy returned half an hour later, hot chocolate in one hand and a blueberry muffin in the other. It took her a while longer than it should have to locate her boyfriend. When she did, she wished she hadn't.

He was quite happy tottering about in ridiculously comical high heels that glittered and clomped as he moved. The dress was just as shiny, very elaborate, blue and white silk and shimmering veils on the skirts. They had added padding in certain places to make him more womanly and highlighted his features with glitter and a curly blonde wig. "Zap!" He declared upon spotting her, shaking the plastic magic wand with the star-shaped tip at her. "I make for a very good woman, don't you think?" He struck a pose and Roxy decided she had the most stupid, but the best boyfriend ever. "Why are you looking at me like that? Something in my teeth?"

"You're an idiot."

"I thought we'd already established that." He wobbled, arms flailing. Liam, Claire and Becky steadied him and he laughed. "So, what d'you think?" He spread his arms and twirled, unbalancing himself again.

"I think you're an idiot."

"I agree with you," Liam grinned, "but he's one hell of a guy if he's happy enough to mug himself off for charity."

"I'm not mugging myself off! I wanted to be a pretty lady!" Roxy choked on her hot chocolate, coughing and spluttering. Michele hit her on the back helpfully while Charlie waved his wand. "Bibbity bobbity boo! Abracadabra! Wingardium LeviosAR!"

"It's Wingardium LeviOsa, not LeviosAR." Roxy wheezed. Charlie laughed victoriously.

"You did it! Now, my faithful subjects! Show time!"

"Do you even know your lines?" Liam laughed, straightening the blonde wig.

"I memorised the whole script."

"Saddo." Roxy coughed. Charlie nodded in agreement, but he was giving her a sarcastic, yet accusing look. "What?"

"I wouldn't have memorised it if you'd agreed to spontaneous date night."

"I was ill!"

"Stupid humans and your infections." Roxy lobbed the muffin at his head, dislodging the wig.

"Now look what you made me do! That was a perfectly good muffin!"

"I'm being bullied! Fairy godmother here, show some respect!"

"I'm sorry; a guy in drag does not get my respect."

"Sexist!"

"It's not sexist, it's you!"

"Sexist! Charlie-ist! BULLY!"

"I will hurt you." He responded by waving his wand and then he laughed. "I mean it!"

"You're cute when you're mad."

"Well watch out- she's about to get freaking adorable." Liam joked. "Now, go. You're on in five."
