Amu's POV
After I was done crying, Anna and Rima demanded to know what had happened. Once I had explained the park incident, I had to force both of them not to track Ikuto down and kill them, telling them that it was my fault for believing her was serious. I told them I knew he had been playing with my emotions, but couldn't help believing him. They were reluctuant to stop planning his murder, but did, after some serious convincing.
"Okay, I'm ready. Let's go over the plan," I said, once the murder planning stopped. Rima nodded, and pulled out a minilla folder that she had obviously been working on while I was gone at the park. She glanced over the sheets as she spoke.
"Okay. Here's the plan. First, we're going to give you a full blown make over, so good that no one will ever recognize you. While Anna-san's making you over-"
"Just Anna," Anna said, smiling at Rima, who continued as if uninturupted.
"While Anna's making you over, I'll be filling out the forms for you to enter the school as a new girl. Your name will be Arina Yuki, and you'll be introduced with Anna as her cousin, like you are. If anyone asks why your last name's are the same," Rima paused, trying to think of an excuse.
"Tell them that my mom married- which she didn't- and your mom divoriced, so she decided to go back to her maiden name, changing you last name too." Ann said. Rima nodded in approval before going on.
"The main goal is to get Tsukiyomi to fall in love with Yuki and then brake his heart like he always breaks yours. But there will be some consalation prizes-- as in you get to go on dates with him, possibly, and we all get into the popular circle." Rima said, smirking slightly.
"And since you both hate most everyone in it, then we'll plan some major popular sabatoge. After all, the twins will be in the populars soon." Anna said, smirking in delight. Rima looked confused when she said 'the twins'.
"You'll know why we hate them when you meet them. They're my sisters." Anna informed Rima. I nodded, agreeing with the plan, hoping I wouldn't regret it.
"Stay here while I prepare. Rima can get some sabatoge plans ready for the populars." Anna said, and with that she went into my master's bathroom with a large black bag that I hadn't noticed before.
For the next thirty-five minutes I listened to Rima's fingers dance over the key's of my laptop as I waited for Anna to prepare the bathroom. I silently argued with myself, wondering if I should really be doing this. I knew that Ikuto didn't have any feelings for me, but seemed to enjoy annoying and teasing me, messing with my feelings. As I remembered earlier, all doubt washed from my mind, and Anna returned to the room, telling me she was ready. I stood, and Rima followed.
"I'm done with most of the planning, so I'll assist you." She explained. Anna nodded.
"I'm sure you know about all this stuff just as much as I do- you look like you must have used all of it before." Anna said, as she led us into my bathroom. I practically gasped when I saw it. Machines were everywhere. My counter was full of lotions, shampoos, conditioners, creams, face washing equitment, things that I didn't even know how to name, many sprays, and perfumes. Stacked on my bathtub that had a built in jakoozee's ledge, there were blowdriers, hair straightners, crimpers, tweazers, green goopy substances, orange goopy substances, odd looking paper, and much, much more. In front of my large sink was a cushioned chair with a low back, and in my sink there seemed to be a movable showerhead somehow installed. I gaped at all the supplies as I was lead to the seat.
"Take off your uniform- just leave on your white blouse and your panties." I did as I was told, stripping my shoes also. I was then pushed in the seat and the ruberband that held my waist length pink locks up was removed. Anna picked the green goop up from the bathtup's legde and smeared it on my face, telling me to lean back and relax. It was hard to relax, but I leaned back and closed my eyes, as Rima grabbed cucumber slices and placed them on top of my eyelids so I couldn't peak. I heard a click and music filled the bathroom.
I heard the water being turned on and in a moment my hair was soaked in icy cold water.
"What in the world?" I screeched, shivering for the coldness on my scalp.
"Cold waters better for your hair." Anna's voice explained, as she began to furiously rub shampoo that smelled like strawberries in my hair, before rinsing it with cold water. Then she used Five conditioners: Regular for silk and shine, Superb for a dry scalp or dandrif, Supreme for unmanable or frizzy hair, Extra Supreme for volume and strength, and Leave-in conditioner for extra manageability.
Once all the conditioner was is my hair, I felt it being brushed through easily and put up into a high pony tail. Then I felt nothing. One of the cucumbers fell from my eyes, and I looked up to see Rima writing on a clipboard and Anna whispering what needed to be done to me, as she looked me up and down. When she saw that one of the cucumbers fell, she took them off and told Rima to just take down the mirror. Rima complied, but it took Anna's help, and they moved the mirror outside, before coming back in and continuing notes.
"Definatatley need to do her nails. I guess she still chews them," I heard Anna mumble to Rima.
"Let's try to crimp her hair. Then we'll straighten, and then curl. We'll see which looks the best on her."
"And we'll try some make-up, though it has to be light and only experimental."
"Also put down that we need to find out her color. She never really wears anything bright- she's got that punk/goth thing going on. We'll have to make sure we have Yuki and Amu totally different."
"We'll need to change her hair color, too. We'll decide what too later."
"Oh, and the legs. Well... you know what we'll go there."
"Her eyebrows are a little out of portion, so we'll tweze those. And her lips- we have to make sure those become full."
"Her skin is in great condition- no pimples or anything-, but we could make it a little softer."
"She has some of those small red pimple like things on her arm, though. I have some lotion that will remove that by Monday."
"Overall, if we change that and a few other things, she'll look totally different. So lets get started."
After the list was made, some whispered too low for me to hear, leaving me curious, they took the green goop off my face and then put a silky blue sleeping mask on my face. I thought since they took the mirror down that they'd let me see what they were doing and who was doing it, but I was obviously proven wrong.
I felt someone clipping my nails and rubbing some kind of cream on my cuticles, first on my hands, then tonailes. Then my feet were placed in an automatic massager that bubbled and I could smell that some kind of cream was in it. It smelled minty. I felt lotion being applied to my legs and arms, and then screamed in pain when I felt an eyebrow being plucked by tweasers, I suppose. This went on for the next six or seven minutes on both eyebrows, which I was sure were red when done with. They burned, and I felt someone rub cold cream on them, making the burn decrease a few levels, but it still slightly stung.
My hair was removed from the ponytail a little later and someone began blowdrying it, then did something else, I'm unsure of what, to it. Then it was tied back up with what I heard Rima say was a orange ribbon. I yelped when I felt something go up one of my nostrils and then pull back.
"What was that?!" I demanded, confused of what would need to do up my nose.
"Nose hair trimmer." Rima muttered, and then continued as she had been. I raised my eyebrow. I didn't even want to know why I needed my nose hairs trimmed. I wasn't even like anyone would see them.
The next few things they did to me I will not describe to you for fear of scarring you for life. The only thing I will say is that someone trimmed my hair and then I felt them crimp, straighen, and put my hair into curlers to see which looked the best. After muttering in hushed tones for a while, they pulled the blindfold away from my eyes and handed me a short white towel, telling me to not ask questions, just strip and put it on. I did so curiously, and was led to my room, then laid down on a folding mat.
I watched as Rima carefully applied some warm orange goop to my right leg, Anna doing my left. Then, they both placed the odd looking paper stips on my legs, and I closed my eyes, relaxing. I didn't get why Rima and Anna seemed so reluctuant to do something- this was so comforting.
"1," Anna whispered.
"2," Rima followed,
"3!" They both yelled, and pulled a strip each of my leg. I yelled out in pain, my legs burning. I hadn't any idea that it was possible for me to yell so loud for so long, but I guess it was, and I was greatful for once that my mom was at work.
--
One hour later I layed on my bed, still wrapped in the white towel, numb from my first waxing experience. Rima ushered me up and handed me our schools uniform without my usual accesories. She pushed me into the bathroom, and as my legs were still stinging, I put on my uniform and came back into the room. Anna gasped when I entered and Rima's mouth fell open.
"What?" I asked, confused. Did they mess it up? Did I look that bad?
"Look for yourself!" Anna said perkily, and with the help of Rima, she pulled a full body mirror from under my bead and put it right side up before stepping back. Slowly and cautiosly I stepped forward to see what they had done wrong. Once in front of the mirror I blinked once, twice, then a third time. Then my mouth fell open. Who was I looking at?! It surley was not me.
My hair- which was long and flowing, as well as, now, a shade of midnight blue- cascaded down my back to my waist in different sized ringlets. My eyes, which were a deep pools of golden, were hidden under black, long feminine lashes and perfectly even eyebrows. My face was perfect and angular—with high cheekbones, a strong jawline, a straight nose, and full, soft pink lips. I'm sure my face hadn't looked that good before.
I looked petite and had an overglass figure which the schools ironed uniform complimented perfectly. I was sure that this wasn't me, even though it clearly was. Nothing looked the same. My skin was creamy white, and flawless. My fingernails, which I had always bitten out of habbit, were clipped perfecetly and looked elegant with clear, shiny polish on them. I looked like a different person all together. A rich, high class princess. I could pass off as a popular, now. Or higher than a popular, perhaps. Before, I would have been classified as normal if I hadn't put on that 'Cool and Spicy' attitude accidently. But now... I was, not to sound vain, but, beautiful.
"Perfect. The populars will be eating out of your hands in just a matter of time." Anna said, smiling. Rima went over to the laptop and opened it, looking over a typed page.
"Okay, lets go over what you'll do on Monday." Rima said, "I've already got the forms filled out for you, and some of Anna's forms filled out for her. Now, you have to act innocent. Sweet, and caring. I'll be hanging out with you, seeing as Amu 'moved'. You're going to get into their group, and wait until one of them invite you to the party on Saturday. It's going to be a big deal- it's a party for Tadase's," She scoffed at the name. Tadase was my crush when I was in elementary, but I got over him quick. But it seemed her like me now. Or Amu. Since I was 'Yuki' now.
"It's Tadase's birthday, so everyone's going to be there. Even Tsukiyomi is coming. Probably because they nagged him into it, but that's a minor detail. Anyway, I think he's going out with one of the highly popular girls, even though he doesn't like her, and so that'll give us a chance to do popular sabatoge and get you some flirting opprotunities."
"That's all you need to do on Monday." Rima finished, and then Anna took over.
"Tomorrow we'll take you shopping for an entirley new wardrobe for outside of school. Yuki can't be wearing any of Amu's clothes and have people recognize her. I've got Aunties credit card, and she told me I could spend as much as I want, whenever I want." Anna said. Anna's side of the family is rich, because though my mom got the house, my aunt got all my grandparents money. "We'll go shopping for Tadase's party some other day. But you really need knew clothes asap. You can borrow some of mine to go shopping- you look about my size."
"I'll call my mom and ask her if I can spend the night, then." Rima interjected. I nodded, and she took out her cell phone, hitting her mom's speed dial number.
"Mom? I'm at Amu's... Can I spend the night? ... You're out of town for the next three days? Okay... Papa is in New York? Okay. Bye." She hung up the phone and turned to me.
"Mom's out of town for the next three days and dad's gone to NY. She said to stay over at your house." Rima informed. I nodded. This happened often. Rima's mom went out of the town all the time, as did her father.
"So three people will live here for the next three days!" Anna exclaimed perkily. I nodded as an evil smile slowly formed on her face.
"I have a good idea," She told.
