So here's Chapter 7! R&R! Again, sorry I didn't update yesterday, I had a big party, and, I just couldn't.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything.
* Amber's POV *
When I turned around, Nina had arrived. She was breathing heavily, and her face was bright red.
"What's wrong?" I cried.
She took a deep breath. "Senkhara was there. She went on again about the blackbird soaring on, and I was just a little alarmed. I'm fine."
"Aww!" I went up and hugged her, "It's alright. Just think, you're about to go on a double date! It'll be okay, Nina! Wait, you didn't get changed! Go back, quickly! We don't have much time!"
"Amber, we have three hours!"
"Just get changed!"
"Okay, geez!"
And she left. I sighed and ran over to the makeup table to prepare. Of course, most of it was prepared already, but I wanted to divide the things that look good on me, and the things that looked good on Nina.
Next, I went to the nail cabinet, and took out hot pink and pale pink nail polish for me, and some tea green for Nina. I also took out a clear coat, two nail files, two pair of toe separators, and some jewels for extra nail embellishment.
I quickly plugged in the hair straightener and the curler, and by that time Nina had arrived, dressed in that beautiful tank, and some short grey shorts.
"Perfect! Now you wait here, and I'll go ask Vera to make some food.
* Nina's POV *
After Amber left, I sat down on the bed, still slightly bewildered. I was worried about this date. Not because of Fabian, or anything about our relationship, but because Senkhara had warned me it was a bad idea.
Flashback
I entered the bathroom and grinned at the ruffled tank I had selected. I was about to change into it, when I turned around and saw her there. Senkhara. The Forgotten Ruler. I gasped, then calmed down and swallowed.
"Are you sure you're making the right choice, Chosen One? Is it really necessary to let time flutter away? What you do is up to you, Chosen One, but remember, think it through very well. Am I clear, Chosen One?"
I nodded, unable to say a thing.
I guess I would have to do the obvious, which would be not to go, but Amber just seemed so excited. Anyway, what was the worst that was gonna happen?
* Patricia's POV *
As soon as I left the meeting, I went down to the living room. Vera was the only one there, so I sat down on the couch and did… nothing.
After a little while, Eddie came in and sat next to me. I was angry at him, because our dance at the ball was actually just a bet, but I still couldn't help but continue to like him.
"So, Eddie," I began, "I know things have been… cold since you lied to me, but I'm willing to forgive you."
"Well, if that's what you want, I'm sorry. You know I would've done it without the bet, and you know-" he paused.
"I know what?" I asked. Was he gonna say he liked me?
"Nothing, really nothing. Just ignore me, seriously."
I sighed, honestly feeling a little depressed.
"Patricia, do you wanna go for… a walk?"
My heart skipped a beat. I smiled and nodded.
He stood up and took my hand, helping me up to my feet.
"Let's go."
We walked out to the foyer, and out the door.
The walked started with an awkward silence hanging in the air, until I noticed that he was waiting for me to say something. Say what?
"So…" The awkward conversation starter.
"Umm, how've you been lately?" he asked me.
"Good."
Suddenly, something magical happened. He started to kiss me! The sparks few, and the magic was in the air.
* Amber's POV *
When I was my way back upstairs, I spied Eddie and Patricia leaving the house together. So romantic! I had to go and tell Nina!
I got upstairs and burst into our room. Nina was back. "Vera's making the food, and guess what?"
"What?"
"I saw Patricia and Eddie leaving the house together, and you could tell they were like, falling for each other!"
Nina didn't care at all. She smiled a little, but it was obviously just covering up that frown hidden underneath.
I tried to change the subject, "Anyway, hair and makeup! Actually, we should start with nails.
As you can see, I've separated my colors from you colors, and I have all these jewels, and we're going to make our nails look beautiful.
Nina's smile brightened a little, and this time it looked more real.
I handed her the tea green nail polish, some nail polish remover, two toe separators, and a clear coat. She got straight to work, and I did the same with my pinks.
30 minutes later
When our nails were done, we compared, and besides the color, they were almost the same. The jewel pattern was very similar on our fingers, and our toes were a little different, but still relatively the same idea.
It was about 11 o'clock, when Patricia came rushing in. Tears streamed down her face as she cried, "It's Eddie!"
What happens next? R&R!
