Getting ready

Ellie

Sighing, I looked myself up and down in the full-length mirror that stood, propped up against my bedroom wall. My golden blond hair tumbled in waves past my shoulders, almost reaching my elbows. My bright blue eyes were enhanced by my subtle makeup, and my deep purple gown complimented my curves perfectly, however, there was still something missing. Absent mindedly, I picked up my hairbrush and attempted to tame a section of my hair that refused to lie flat. Still deep in thought, I set the brush down and carefully applied a slick of burgundy lipstick to my lips. As I went to slide it back into my makeup bag my finger brushed lightly against something, cold. Frowning I reached deeper in and pulled it out. I gasped inwardly as I found myself staring at my silver necklace that I had misplaced a few weeks ago. It was comprised of a single sapphire set in silver, which hung from a long silver chain. Carefully, I slipped it over my head and around my neck where it hung, glinting in the early evening light creeping in from my bedroom window. I peered at myself in the mirror and smiled. I looked, pretty! Still smiling I turned towards my bedroom door, and picking up my clutch bag, I made my way downstairs and slipped out of the house, locking the door behind me.

I made my way down the quiet street, enjoying the sensation of the cold air on my bare arms, walking the path that I knew so well. I smiled as I reached my destination and knocked on the slightly worn, light blue front door that belonged to my best friend Lizzie.

"Coming!" came a cry from within. I smiled, knowing fully well how disorganised Lizzie was. Suddenly the door opened and I was greeted with a cry of "Ellie!" shortly followed by a tight hug. Coughing, I pulled away, straightening out my gown that had been partially crumpled during the embrace.

"Jeeze Lizzie, please try not to suffocate me before we've even got there!" I teased.

"Sorry Ell! I just haven't seen you in ages!" She replied.

"I know, It's been a while, so how was Cyprus?" I asked

"Hot!" She said grinning.

"Never have guessed that!" I replied matching her grin with my own and eyeing her dress. It was made from black silk, which hung loosely from her shoulders but gathered at the waist and fell down into a long skirt. The neckline and hem were decorated with tiny diamond like jewels, which glinted and reflected light. Her straight chocolate brown hair fell down to just below her shoulders and her hazel eyes sparkled with fun and excitement. "We'd better be going then" I said "Wouldn't want to be late for your own welcome home party!"

"Just getting my coat." She replied, nipping back in to grab it. "Got it!" She called, reappearing and pulling it over her shoulders, frowning at my choice not to wear one. Still grinning I watched her lock her door, then grabbed hold of her wrist and dragged her down the street where we ran along and giggled like teenage schoolgirls.


Seto

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this!" I frowned at my younger brother whilst buttoning up my shirt.

"Ah, it's gonna be great fun! There'll be music and dancing and fizzy drinks and snacks!" He replied energetically, almost jumping up and down with excitement.

"Oh, yes, because I love music and dancing! And you know how much I love fizzy drinks and snacks!" I replied, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Awwwww, please big brother" Mokuba whined, switching on the puppy eyes. Damn it, I never could resist those puppy eyes.

"Oh fine! I just don't like the thought of having to spend the evening in the same room as the mutt and his weirdo friends!" I explained.

"Now go back into your room and get ready!" I exclaimed, taking him by the shoulders and steering him towards the door.

"See you in a minute Seto!" He called out as I shut my bedroom door firmly.

"Hurry up and get ready!" I called back teasingly. I could almost see him sticking his tongue out at me through the door, I chuckled at the thought and returned to getting ready. Sighing heavily I picked up my tie and trailed it around my neck, this was going to be a long night I thought pulling the tie into a tight knot and slipping into my waistcoat. I was only going for Mokuba, one of his little friends had come back from a six-week holiday in Cyprus, and naturally they had to throw a huge party in celebration! Glancing at myself in the mirror I took in my appearance. My tailored suit fitted me extremely well but when you had the amount of money I did you could afford to have your suits professionally made so that was no surprise. My ice blue eyes stared back at me, cold and hard and my chestnut brown hair sat neatly, not a hair out of place. Conscious of the time I called to my brother who was still in his room getting ready. "Mokie, are you ready yet?"

"Nearly big brother, I just can't get this flipping tie right!" He called back. Smiling, I picked up my jacket and opened my door. I made my way over to his room and opened the door, stepping in. "Come here." I called. He shuffled over and I took his tie in my own hands and knotted it for him, not too tightly, I knew how much he hated that. "Ready?" I asked.

"Pretty much!" He replied slipping into his waistcoat and picking up his jacket. Still smiling I ruffled his raven black hair and lead him out of the house and into the limousine waiting outside.
