A.N- Hilde is a recently graduated university student who lives in an apartment shared by 2 other people, both females, and are her best friends. And this is an Alternate Universe fic; characters might be a little OOC just to let you know.

I edited this chapter again when I realized what a horrible job I did the first time around; I couldn't believe it. This version is re-edited with, hopefully, fewer mistakes; I also added and deleted a few things here and there.

I apologize for my sloppy editing before; I will try and prevent it from happening again.

Hilde's day started out like it did everyday, she woke up to the sound of her alarm clock going off. 'Ugh, another long day ahead of me' she thought groggily, getting up out of bed yawning and stretching her 5'4" frame (AN: sorry, don't know how tall she really is, so I'm just guessing). 'Today's my 27th birthday!'. She realized 'hmmm... I wonder what this years birthday will be like…' She thought back to last years birthday party that her friends had 'surprised' her with, she had told her friends before-hand that she didn't want a party, but she hadn't expected them to listen.  They had thrown her a party and had hired two male strippers, one for the all the female friends that was there and the other for her own personal enjoyment. Not that she didn't enjoy the show, but hopefully this year's celebration wouldn't be so… excessive

Walking down the hall in her robe for her morning shower, she turned the corner and walked up to the only bathroom in the 3-bedroom apartment. The first thing she noticed was that it was eerily quiet, normally at least one of her roommates would be out and about by now making some sort of noise by either cooking or getting ready for the upcoming day. Shrugging off the quiet as one of the unexplainable things in the world, she continued on to the bathroom. Reaching the bathroom door, she noticed that a note was taped onto the door

It read:

We're going to let you use the bathroom today, without having to fight over it because it's your birthday today and we want it to start off on the right foot and also because we are such good friends, hehe. Wear something nice; we're going out for a night out in the town to celebrate!

P.S. Maybe we'll meet some hot guys!

P.P.S. We would've left an outfit for you to wear in your room by now, so you better wear it! (don't worry you'll approve)

Now open the door and go in already!

Hilde was touched that her friends would go through the trouble for her, they were letting her use the bathroom without the usual yelling and banging and yells of 'hurry up!' and 'What the HELL are you doing in there!'

'I wonder what sort of outfit they have in my room?' she wondered. Hilde's style was more of a comfort and convenience sort of thing, which was in contrast to her roommates styles, don't get me wrong they are best friends but that was one thing where they differed. Hilde wasn't necessarily a tomboy, but she had her days, where she just wasn't in the mood to wear everyday clothes, so she'd just wear, say a pair of track pants or something. But her normal dress wear was a comfortable pair of jeans and a top.

Opening the bathroom door, she made a mental note to thank them later. There in the bathroom was a bubble bath all ready. And on the fogged up mirror there was a note written on it:

'Want you to be as relaxed and pampered as possible for what we have planned for you, made the bath just the way you like  ^_^'

 Hilde was a little worried about what the note implied, but at the moment she didn't really care since the bubble bath just looked so inviting. Giving in to temptation and deciding she'd let fate take its course, she took off her robe, than her pyjamas underneath and after tying up her shoulder length midnight-blue hair she stepped into the bath. 'Ahhh' she sighed as she got into the water. It's warmth soothing her.

After 30 minutes of soaking and relaxing in the tub she thought that it was about time to get out. Stepping out of the tub she put on her bathrobe, grabbed her pyjamas and went back to her bedroom to change into whatever clothes her roommates had set out for her. The clothes didn't turn out to be too bad, a little dressier than she would have usually worn, but not entirely out of the question. She didn't want to refuse because she knew they had probably put some effort into it. The clothes are as follows: a long sleeved V-neck red shirt with a slightly tight fitting, ending slightly below the knee, black skirt, and black calf-length heeled boots to complete the outfit that her friends had picked out for her, the worse thing about the outfit were the boots, she didn't often wear heels and knew that by the end of the day her feet would be blistered and sore, but she had to admit, the boots did look good, it'd be a waste to not wear them. As she was just about finished putting on the outfit, there was a knock on her bedroom door. 'Come in' she said while pulling the shirt over her head. She already knew who was behind the door. Bursting in, Katie and Christine (her roommates and best friends) already dressed shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" simultaneously. Then both noticing that Hilde had the outfit they had picked out on, Christine said first,

"You look great in it!" Katie, seeing the doubtful look on Hilde's face said impishly "But it's not complete without the hair, make-up, and accessories!" "And that's what we're here for" She said grinning, holding up her make-up bag.

"Why are you guys dressing me up so much?" Hilde inquired

"We just want you to look nice today," Katie answered, "Now sit," she commanded pointing to the chair in front of her vanity table.

"Let's start on you hair first…"

By the end of their 'make-over' or what they were allowed to make-over anyway, because Hilde just wouldn't allow certain things be done. For example she only allowed the light shades of make-up, so it wouldn't be overly noticeable and she would only allow clear nail polish to be put on her. Despite the restrictions that Hilde put on her friends she looked beautiful, contrary to what Hilde thought. Hilde personally thought that she looked slightly over-done, pretending to be something she wasn't, but her friends thought she looked lovely, her hair was curled slightly in waves and the make-up they had put on brought out her natural beauty.

"I look too over-done" Hilde complained

"What do you mean? You look great!" Christine exclaimed

"I can't believe you think you look bad, you look gorgeous!" Katie concurred

"I guess I look okay…" Hilde acquiescenced reluctantly

"Trust us, you look great!" Katie said

"Are we all ready to go then?" Christine asked

Looking at Hilde then Katie, who both nodded.

"Then, let's go!"

A.N- That's the end of the first chapter, please let me know what you think of the story so far. This will develop to be a DxH fic. Please review; it encourages me to write more. Thanks a lot
