She's a prince?
Knock knock
Eustass Kid looked up from where he was shaping a piece of metal to the open doors of his work shop. There in the door way stood one of the king's messengers, looking a little worried. What could the king possibly want? Walking up to the finally dressed messenger Kid looked down him, scaring the shit out of the poor messenger by unconsciously glaring at him. "What d' ya want?" he growled out, frightening the messenger further.
Shakily the messenger pulled a letter from the bag slung across his shoulder, and handed it to the large man in front of him. "a-a i-i-invit-t-tation, s-sir" the messenger stuttered out, before turning on his heal and moving on to the next shop/house down the street so fast there was steam coming from his feet. Sticking his head out the door Kid watched as the man scurried down the street like his life depended on it. Pulling back inside his work shop kid chuckled darkly before walking over to a table and chair.
Sitting down in the wooden chair Kid kicked his feet up on the table and reclined back, glad for the brief pause in his hard work. Pulling up the letter he tore into it and looked down at the printed writing;
Dear citizen
You and the rest of the kingdom from the highest lord, to the lowest peasant have been invited to a masquerade ball this Sunday, from 7pm until midnight. It is being held in hopes of my son finding someone to betroth.
Please come dressed in any fancy dress you wish; animals, fictional characters, anything you wish to be, as long as you have a mask. Please show this letter to the door men and they shall let you in.
I thank you for coming to this event, it is sure to be spectacular.
From your king
Don Quixote Doflamingo
Kid gapped at the letter. What. The. Bloody. Hell. Everyone in the kingdom? How are we all going to fit in the ballroom? With a sigh Kid folded the letter and put it back in the envelope it came in, his thoughts already deciding on what he was going to wear. Geez, what a pain, and it's not like I can't go, it an invitation from the king after all.
Sighing Kid stood and continued his work, thoughts still on the ball that was happening Sunday, and how it was going to be the 5 most boring hours of his life. (a/n: How wrong he is ;)
Sitting on his bed Law hugged his big fluffy white dog to him. "What am I going to do Bepo? This was a stupid idea, and I'm going to be humiliated in the process of It." law whined into the dogs soft fur, nuzzling his nose further in to the dogs coat. Before he could complain anymore to the dog there was a knock on the door.
"oji-sama" a maid said through the door. Sighing law pushed himself up and told the maid to come in. "the king has chosen a number of . . . outfits, for you to try on" she said, trying to find the right word so as not to annoy the poor prince. By now gossip of the princes problem had spread throughout the whole castle, in fact he was surprised he hadn't seen his two best friends Penguin and Shachi yet to taunt and make fun of him. Nodding to the maid Law got off the bed and made to follow the maid to where his outfits were.
Upon entering the room he found his two best friends sitting on a sofa, sniggering at him, throwing a glare at them he walked further into the room and saw why. "You've got to be fucking kidding me" he gapped when he saw the dresses.
Sitting innocently in a row were four puffy ball gowns:
one was huge with a puffed out skirt and puffy sleeves. It was all gold with white lace for the trim and a square necline. Its sleeves were 3/4 length and at the ends there was white lace. On the chest area there was a tone of sequences and other sparkly things, and on the skirt there was a swirling patterns in silver. To say he refused to wear it was an understatment.
Dress number 2 was just as bad if not worse. It was a horrible green colour and the skirt puffed out immensly at the hips, just from looking at it Law could tell there was some sort of structure underneath it pushing the huge skirts into shape. The sleeves of this one were short and didnt puff out, but it did have pink bows. There were also huge pink bows on the chest area, which was a creamy colour in a shape of a 'V' set into the green fabric, the bows were pined in a line down the creamy fabric. And around the waist was another pin ribbon which tied up at the back with trails of ribbon falling down the back of the skirt. Law thought he was going to be sick.
The third dress wasnt as bad as the first two, but it was still horrific in laws eyes. It was pink, and I mean pink. Pink frills, pink bows, pink lace, the only other colour was white, and that was the underskirts and lace. Law thought it looked more fit to be worn on a china doll more than an real person. And that wasn't the half of it, the dress was also puffy, very puffy, with lots and lots of layers, if he wore it Law was sure he would pass out from the heat.
The 4th dress was probably the best out of all of them by far, the only problem was it showed way, way, to much skin. It was a bodice with a body hugging skirt tha had a slight up one side which went to halfway up the thigh. it was red in colour with gold swirls and flowers. the bodice was also red but had a black lace covering it, and black thrilly lace around the edges.
"No way, I'm not wearing that shit" law screeched, a look of complete horror on his features. Taking a step back Law made to run from the room of horrors before he was suddenly grabbed and pulled back inside by the seamstress who was ridiculously strong. He whimpered as he was made to stand on a podium and try on each dress. From behind him he could hear Penguin and Shachi's sniggering, growling and a vein popping on his head he spun around and growled out, "if you find it so hilarious then you can join me and wear dresses to the ball as well" at this they stopped immediately and looks of horror and fright passed over their features.
After 2 hours of torturously trying on dresses Law collapsed onto the sofa between his best friends in just his boxers. "Please, no more" he whimpered turning and burying his head into the crook of Penguins neck trying to hide from the seamstress; who came out carrying yet another dress.
"Law" she said sternly, like a mother who had got her child doing something naughty. Hopelessly Law stood and slowly walked over to her, hunched over. "Silly child, you shouldn't of made that bet if you didn't want to wear a dress" she chuckled looking at his dejected face.
"I'm not a child" Law pouted, smiling the seamstress pinched his cheek like an old woman would.
"Come on dearie cheer up, after all its only for one night" and with that she stepped away holding up the new dress up.
(I'll see if I can draw it later, and will post the link on my profile)
Law gulped, eyeing the dress. "t-that one, i-it will do" he started. It was a gorgeous dress made of silk, in black, with a silver waist band and yellow rim around the top. It had no sleeves or straps and also had a yellow flower pined to the waist band. When he tried it on this was definitely the one, and he didn't think he was gonna get any better choices. His best friends thought so to and agreed on him with the dress.
Now that was sorted all that was needed was to find a mask.
"You know law" Shachi said, "you're gonna have to shave your goatee and sideburns if you want to hide the fact that you're a guy"
Law looked over at him with tears in his eyes and whimpered, looking like a kid who just had his lollypop stolen. Shachi and Penguin looked at each other blinked a few times and burst out Laughing.
Ash: okay so I know that was really, really short I'm really sorry, but I wasn't quite sure what else to write, but I decided I'm gonna draw Law in that dress if I can. I'll most likely post the link in the next chapter or on my profile
