Alex nearly fainted. The color drained out of his face as it sank in. He had to join this club. He had to be a hostess...

Some first day.

"But, I-"

"No buts!" Rene said, snapping her fingers, "furthurmore, if you're going to be a hostess, you simply cannot go about wearing

such a tacky outfit. We have an image to uphold."

"Tacky? wait, didn't you just say-" he started, but Rene ignored him,turning to the indentical cousins

"Hikari, Kaori, give her a makeover..."

The Iden--Alex just decided to refer to them as twins since that's what they looked like--smiled, "Got it boss..."

Alex didn't have time toreact as they grabbed him under the arms and hurriedly dragged him off into a dressing room. The gothy one

sat him down in a chair near a sink.

"Hair first, I think," she said

"What're you gonna-"

"Just wash it trim off your split ends and style it."

Before he could respond, he heard the water cut on. They practicaly shoved his head into the sink, so that he was left staring at the ceiling.

As they began washing his hair, he noticed how they kept looking at him. on of them stared at his chest

"Koari, look! She's completely flat chested! it's like she doesn't have boobs at all!"

the one dressed in pink unabashedly put a hand on his chest, squeezing.

"Hey!" He started, but the hand was gone as soon as it appeared, "you're right," she said, "completely flat..."she looked down into his face

"Don't worry, I'm sure your just a late bloomer, you'll get breasts eventualy," she said in what he supposed was suppose to be comforting.

Alex didn't comment on that.

"So, which is which, anyway?" he asked.

the gothy one smiled, "I'm Kaori. my father is Hikaru Hitachiin. I'm named after uncle Kaoru.

the pink one also smiled, "And I'm Hikari. I'm Kaoru's daughter and named after uncle Hikaru."

"Our fathers were very close," they said, in unison, "being twins and all"

soon they were blow drying his hair, brushing it it quick, short strokes. Then they spritzed it with something that made his eyes water and tugged

on it. Next Hikari pulled out a case of makeup.

"Whoa, Alex said, "I'm not wearing makeup."

"oh, don't be a baby, she said, "I'm just going to pump your lashes, give you some eyeshadow, and make a smidge of lipstick. just enough to

color your lips. They're practicaly invisable..."

Alex was tempted to bolt for the door, but then he remembered ho much money he owed, and held painfully stil as he let them slather him with

makeup. Well, not slather, he admitted, they didn't put on TOO much...

And that' when they pulled out the dress.

the bright yellow girls uniform.

"here, put this on," they said in unison

Alex just stared at it.

"uh..."

"Oh, and don't worry, Koari said handing him a bra and two jelly-like things

"Umm..."

"Inserts. that way No one will notice you're flat-chested"

Again Alex said nothing. Mostly because he was frozen with horror.

"We'll just leave you alone to change..." they said in unison.

000000ooooo000000

"I can't believe I'm gonna put on a dress," he said, "Why didn't I just go home to study?"

He removed his clothing and slipped on the bra, it felt weird, and the inserts stuck to his skin. they were right. They did look like breasts.

He put on the dress, careful not to smudge his makeup or muss his hair, in case the twins assualted him again.

He turned and looked at himself in the mirror, which he'd avaoided until now.

"Oh man..."

He looked just like a girl.

his hair was shiney, and had been braided and tied off with a light blue ribbon. The makeup was flattering, and brought out his eyes, and

for once, his lips were visable.

which throughly scared the hell out of him.

as for the dress....

It was a perfect fit.

"The guys back home are NEVER gonna let me live this down if they see me like this..."

"Come on out!" Rene's voice called, "We wanna see the new you!"

Alex groaned, dragging himself to the door and exiting, looking into the faces of his new fellow club members.

Rene, along with the twins, and the small one, Honey, squeeled with delight, their eyes turning into stars, "you're so adorable!"

"such a dramatic transformation!" Rene said, "another miracle by the Hitichiin cousins!"

the twins through back their hair, grinning,

"thank you, thank you"

" no autographs please..."

Alex groaned, scowling a bit, "so what does a Hostess do exactly?"

"mostly serve tea and coffe and sweets to cute boys," Kyarie said, scribbling in her notebook, "You can do that, right? It'll be easy."

Alex looked around, the room was suddenly crowded with dozens of boys sitting at tables.

He gulped, "I am so screwed..."
