Getting Ready for a Night Out

The Circle Daybreak couples were being kicked out. Not permanently, just for the night. Thierry had gotten tired of the various arguments, the fighting, and the countless broken items in his home (Quinn claimed he honestly thought the chandelier could hold his weight). So he declared everybody should have the night out. So it was decided that they would all go to a club that Ash knew and then split off later in the night. Since the girls needed to get ready they took control of the entire second floor and barricaded it off from the guys. They also made it known that any guy who tried to interrupt them would be attacked with makeup and hair supplies.

Girls POV

"Is all of this really necessary?" Rashel asked as the girls pooled all their makeup and hair supplies together on the gleaming marble counters.

"Most definitely," Poppy replied as she assessed the pile.

"I'm with Rashel on this one. We don't need this much makeup for a night out."

"Keller it isn't about how much we need, it's about how much we want," Blaise explained as she walked into the room. "We are going to make you ladies gorgeous and blow all the guys away."

Thea looked up surprised, "Blaise, I thought you were going out with Selene and Vivi."

"And miss getting to dress up my younger sister? I don't think so."

"Outfits first!" Poppy declared and started chucking clothing arbitrarily out of the closets and onto the beds.

Boys POV

Eric and James were walking past the staircase when they heard-

"Owww! Poppy, you just hit me with a shoe! And it was a stiletto!" Jez roared.

The two stopped in their tracks and reversed their direction. Trying to figure out what they were hearing. Sounds of a scuffle ensued and then something hard hit the wall.

"Sorry Jez! Sorry! Ouch! I said sorry! -Whoa Gil! Those heels are a make you as tall as Rashel!"

Eric cocked his head and tried to imagine how tall the heels would have to be to make tiny Gillian the same height as Rachel. He couldn't do it.

"What do you think is happening in there?" Quinn asked as he entered the room

"My guess they are putting on makeup, Y'know mascara and all that crap," Ash answered as he came in trailing Quinn.

"I'm confused. What is mascara?" Delos questioned as he came in from the kitchen.

"It's something us girls put on our eyelashes to make them look longer!" Winnie yelled from the kitchen.

Then there was a commotion upstairs that sounded remarkably like a panther being strangled and then Blaise stuck her head out.

"Winnie, would you be a dear and come help us with your 'boss'? Keller's refusing to let us do her hair."

Winnie grinned evilly at the chance to Barbie-fy her boss, so she abandoned the cup of tea she had been making and dashed up the stairs.

After the door closed they could her Keller yelling, "Not you to Winnie!"

There was some evil laughing and Winnie replied, "It had to be done boss!"

Girls POV

"Guys are you sure this shirt isn't a little too low cut?"

"Mare, you and Ash just reunited less than a month ago and haven't been on a date thanks to all the craziness around here. So I think showing a little cleavage showing is not a bad thing," Hannah advised.

The rest of the girls nodded in agreement.

"So did we decide to straighten Maggie's hair?" Thea asked.

"No," Maggie said putting her foot down, "just no!"

"Why?"

Maggie sighed exasperatedly, "Because the last time I tried the bathroom smelt like burnt hair for a week."

"Ouch, well that sucks. Hey has anyone seen my cropped leather jacket?" Jez asked.

Gillian tentatively pulled a jacket from the sink, "You mean this one?"

"Yeah that's the one," Jez brow furrowed, "but why was it in the sink?"

"Uhh when Rashel's hairspray caught fire we sorta used it to ….put out the fire," Gillian squeaked.

"You what?" Jez shrieked and launched herself at the cowering Gill.

Thankfully Blaise interceded, "Relax Jez. I'm a witch, remember? What good am I if I can't remove a few stains?"

So with Blaise's help the jacket returned to its previous un-charred state, though Jez still sent Gill murderous looks every few seconds.

Boys POV

By this time almost all the boys had gathered around the staircase. Mainly because they had smelled something burning and had come running. Thierry had tried to come upstairs but Winnie assured him it was just a little incident with hairspray.

"Why are we all standing here again?" Morgead asked.

"Entertainment value!" Ash answered with a cocky grin and gestured to the door upstairs where voices could be heard.

"No! Poppy I swear if you try to stick that thing in my eyes I will stake you!" Rashel threatened.

"Easy it's just eyeliner!" Poppy defended.

A sound like a chair being scrapped across the floor resounded through the walls. Then there was a rush of footsteps. Then it sounded like a window was being thrown open.

"No eyeliner or I drop it out the window!" Rashel warned.

"Hey that's my Coach bag! Oh come on Rashel, it was a birthday present! Oh fine, I will not put an eyeliner on you."

Even through the closed door everyone could hear Poppy huff indignantly.

Everything alright up there? Quinn asked the former huntress telepathically.

As long as no one comes within a yard of me holding eyeliner then I will be fine. Rashel replied.

Is it really that bad?

You have no idea. When Poppy does it, it's like being stabbed in the eye!
