Pink sweaters, Opera, and Make-up!

Disclaimer - I do not own any POTO or Sherlock Holmes characters, if I did I'd be a very happy person, but since I don't I'm not that happy. But since I got the idea for this story I've been happy enough ^_^ R&R si vous plait! By the way, the Italian words are BAD so please just guess what they mean; don't actually attempt to find out. Thanks. Oh, one more thing, this is a mini-story off of Miss Literary Pageant 2003, so you may want to read that before this, or just smile and nod as you read along, I just took Erica and Jessica from that story so if you want to get to know them read that story.. ^_~

(Sherlock, Watson, Jessica, Erica, Stephanie, Erik, Christine, Raoul, and Julia are all at Jessica's house for Christmas, it's a week before Christmas and everyone is doing last minute Christmas shopping. We first join the girls.)

Erica: I still didn't get Erik a present.

Jessica: Why don't you get him some composition paper?

Erica: Good idea, where's the music store?

Christine: I got Raoul this **Pulls out a pink sweater** do you think he'll like it?

Julia: Duh! But it should have Tinky-Winky on it.

Stephanie: I got Raoul this **Holds up a body bag** just in case. By the way, what did you get for Sherlock Jess?

Jessica: Well, I got him a new magnifying glass and a couple of books.

Julia: You even get each other nerdy presents.

Erica: Let's go to the music store!

(They go to the music store while the guys are on the other side of the mall.)

Raoul: I got Christine this **Holds up a gift certificate to "Victoria's Secret"** I think she'll like it.

Erik: **Stifling laughter** you will too.

Watson: I bought Julia a Barney pocketbook! She'll love it.

Sherlock: **Sarcastically** Of course she will. What do you think I should buy for Jessica?

Erik: Something along the lines of a book.

Sherlock: Good idea Erik.

Raoul: I got that Stephanie person matches, she likes fire, you want to know how I know?

Guys: Not really, no.

Raoul: She tried to light me on fire for some reason. She said something about how I was a 'che cazzo' and a 'strunzi head'. I don't know, Italian is weird.

Sherlock: Never say those words again.

Raoul: Why?

Sherlock: **Whispers what they mean**

Raoul: O_o that's mean.

Watson: **Stupidly** I want a pony.

Raoul: Me too! Let's go get ponies! **They start to run away**

Erik: **Grabs their collars** No! No ponies! **Squirts them with a spray bottle** Bad fops! Very bad fops! **Turns to Sherlock** I always wanted to do that.

Sherlock: Let me try **Takes bottle** Bad dolts! Bad! Ha! This is fun!

Erik: **Snatches back bottle** I'll take that thank you.

(Back with the girls in the music store)

Julia: I found a telletubbie CD! Must buy!

Jessica: I found Bach's complete works on CD! Must buy!

Julia: Dork.

Erica: I found the paper. There is sure a lot of it. I wonder if he'll use some of it to write "Don Juan Triumphant." **Sighs**

Christine: **Talking to clerk** Do you have the 'Faust' CD?

Clerk: Uh. what's Faust, a rock band?

Christine: You've never heard of Faust?! You have to be kidding me! I refuse to believe that. Now please tell me where the opera CD's are located.

Clerk: Er. opera?

Christine: **Totally spazzing** YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF OPERA! WHAT KIND OF STORE-PERSON ARE YOU?! YOU DISGUST ME!

Jessica: **Dragging her away** what did I tell you about attacking non- cultured college students?

Christine: Don't do it.

Jessica: Exactly. Now here's the opera music.

Christine: **Grabs Faust CD** Yay! I have Faust on CD!

(They pay. The guys are in a make-up store)

Sherlock: What are we doing in here?

Watson: I need to find that special lip gloss that makes my lips all shiny.

Erik and Sherlock: O_o

Raoul: And my skin is dry, I need moisturizer!

Erik and Sherlock: O_o

Sherlock: You could probably get Christine's present here.

Erik: Yes, I would say so, although I did get her other things as well.

Sherlock: How much did you get her?

Erik: Let's see, a gown, earrings, a regular ring, a necklace, shoes, the Faust CD, and a music box. But I could get her some perfume to go with it all.

Sherlock: That is a lot of money spent on a woman who has a husband.

Erik: Did you ever read the book about me? I still love her no matter what.

Sherlock: Okay?

Watson: **Comes back and looks like Mimi from "The Drew Carrey Show."** Don't I look pretty?

Raoul: **Looks like skinny Mimi** Me too!

Sherlock: You two dolts look horrible get it off.

Erik: **Laughing hysterically** that was the perfect Christmas present.

(The girls walk in)

Girls: O_o

Watson: Don't we look good?

Stephanie: **Rolling on the floor laughing** Ha! You guys look so stupid! You guys too Watson and Raoul.

Erik: **Pulls out Punjab lasso** Must I remind you of the consequences of making a fool of me?

Stephanie: Shutting up.

Erik: **Puts away lasso** that's what I thought.

Julia: I want to play dress-up too! **Goes to put some of the make-up on and comes back looking like a drag queen** I look like a drag queen! Yay!

Everyone else: O_o

Jessica: Let's go back home.

Erica: Yea, let's go.

Stephanie: I want to go to the explosives store. I really need mercury! **Starts to twitch**

Jessica: Oh no you don't. **Leads her away**
