Dorothy looked at the rack in front
of her, a puzzled look on her face. Is this what it would take to get Quatre to
notice her? Could it possible be that simple? She shook her head and picked up
one of the magazines, Seveteen, the cover read in bright pink letters.
She looked at the cover page, and raised one elegant eyebrow. 'How to be
beautiful! It really works! Just look at these amazing photos!' she looked at
the pictures, both of a young girl, she was pretty even in the 'before'
picture, despite the fake skin damage and teased hair. The after photo almost
made Dorothy laugh, the poor girl had at least a pound of make up on, and her
hair style wouldn't last longer then the photo shoot.
"People really go for these?" she
asked.
"Yes! Absolutely! Men adore it when
their girls try to look beautiful for them! That's the whole idea. Looking
good!" a very blond sales clerk spoke up from behind her.
Dorothy looked her over, she looked
as though she followed the instructions in the magazine to the letter. Her hair
alone looked like it would take hours to complete.
She looked at the magazine one last
time, before shaking her blond head, "Why not? It is after all worth a shot."
She said as she paid the woman and returned to the Winner mansion where she was
staying prior to yet another party to be attended by only the best of the best.
She sighed, the only reason Quatre
had agreed to let her stay with him, is because one her home was in another
part of the world, and two it would be impolite to let a friend stay at a
hotel.
Dorothy walked into the library and
sat down in a seat that left her back to the door and her face to the large
windows. She reached into the paper bag and pulled out that ridiculous
magazine, she sighed and began to read.

Quatre had been wandering his home
for hours trying to find a trace of his elusive houseguest. He was about to
give up when he head the front door close. 'She must have just gotten in!' he
thought happily, 'Now where did she go?' he wondered, 'Well, if I were her
where would I go?' he thought it over, 'Somewhere quiet, maybe the gardens or
the library?' he sighed and began to look for her again.

'Mm… so this attracts men does it?
It's strange to me, someone so well versed in nearly everything should have trouble
attracting a mate.' She read the rest of the article and sat back in her chair,
'Well, it can't hurt to try it.' She picked up the magazine and read the
directions over again, mentally making a shopping list of everything she would
need to become beautiful.
"Beauty magazines? Since when does
someone like you read those? I believe that they only promote low self esteem,
not true beauty." Came Quatre's voice from behind her.
Dorothy turned, her face turning
bright pink at being caught, "I… I was only…" she couldn't believe it, she was
at a loss for words.
"No woman should look at those,
especially not someone as beautiful as you." He said with a smile.
Dorothy blushed even more and
nodded, she dropped the magazine and stood up to fully face Quatre, "I was only
trying to… look nice for… for you…" she said barley above a whisper.
Quatre was taken aback, "For me?
Why?"
"Because…" she decided that acting
meek was not something she did well and stood tall, "because Quatre Rabbaba
Winner, I am in love with you." She said decisively.
Quatre blinked, "Dorothy…. I hade no
idea you could ever return me affections…" he smiled and cupped her face in his
hands, "I love you too." He said as he lowered his lips to hers and claimed
them in a passion filled kiss.
Dorothy sighed as she melted in
Quatre's arms, he was right. Who needed beauty magazines? Looks were only skin
deep anyways, any man who can't look deeper then that wasn't worth being with.
Luckily for her, Quatre was an
enlightened human being.
