A/N: Just in case you want to know what the girls dresses and masks look like there will be hyperlinks at the bottom of my page!!
About 10 minutes after Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee, Britney and Toothy, as I had decided to call him, I heard someone pull into the driveway. I assumed it was only them back to collect some forgotten item but when I heard someone running down the small hill I looked out the tiny window to see who it was. Mel.
She was carrying one of those bags you put suits of dresses in and was wearing a long, tan trench coat.
"Mel what are you doing here?" I asked through the door.
"Being the Fairy Godmother and helping you get to the ball," she yelled back.
"Well you are going to need a magic wand to get through that padlock," I pointed out.
Just as I said that the door was opened and Mel was standing there with a satisfied look on her face. It soon turned serious when she saw my cheek.
"What happened?" she asked rushing forward.
"Britney's new boyfriend doesn't like me that much," I said quietly.
"Well once you have your dress on I will cover it with makeup," she said confidently.
"I'm not going," I insisted.
She unzipped the dress bag to reveal a magnificent green dress. It had one shoulder strap and two layers. The top was a lighter green and the second matched my eyes.
"M…Mel did you make that?" I asked in disbelief.
"OK no, Tami did but it totally rocks, and so does the mask," she said holding I up.
It was a goldie colour with black sequins around the outside and small purple jewels in places. She knew I was going now so she left me to change.
I slipped on a strapless bra and then the dress. It fitted perfectly and I loved it. Mel came back in and, once I had the mask on, started on hiding the deep bruise I had. When she was finished she handed me the small mirror she had brought.
I looked at my self and couldn't believe the bruise was gone.
"Thank you," I said breathlessly.
"Yeah, yeah now let's get going so we're not late," she said.
"Wait…lets see your dress," I demanded.
She opened the trench coat to reveal a pink satin dress with black lace on the waist line and a satin ribbon. It was a cocktail length dress with spaghetti straps and her matching mask was pink again with black and silver glitter.
"Wow," I said impresses.
"I know now lets go!" she insisted.
We left my 'room' and closed the door.
"Hey how did you get in?" I asked remembering the padlock.
"Oh I had a boyfriend who knew a guy," she said and I left it at that as we hurried up the hill.
When we got to the drive, instead of the VW van, there was a grey Aston Martin DB7. My jaw dropped but Mel laughed and made me get in. once I was inside the leather interior I had to ask.
"Where the hell did you get this?" I asked astonished.
"I convinced my dad into letting me borrow it for the night," she said as we pulled out.
"OMG" I said slowly. "I'm actually going to the party," said excitedly.
