Alright. So this is the first makeover chapter. A lot of the girls, but not all, will be slightly introduced. It will still be mostly mains, but I'll be working to bring more characters in.
THERE ARE STILL SPOTS OPEN! Please Submit!
Thanks to all my lovely reviewers! Lorelai Sofia Petrova, Parisismydream, and 4Love4Love, you guys all rock!
Grace's POV
Grace stared around in awe as she was hurried along, her head turning to look at the palace. It was a beautiful building, but people were hurrying her along, so she could only see bits and pieces of it. She and the other girls she'd been with on the plane finally arrived at a room filled with activity, and a it looked like a couple of the selected were also there.
A woman looked up and walked over to them.
"Hi, I'm Silvia. Welcome to the palace." She said to all of them, shaking their hands.
"Now if you all could come over here with me and go to the stations please." She said. She directed Grace to station three, where she was greeted by a team of people with an array of different devices.
A woman walked up to her.
"So we're going to be taking your before picture so that people can see how you've changed after your makeover." She informed her.
"Why do we need pictures of it?" Grace asked.
"They'll be airing them on a special Report." She replied. Then she went back to her questions.
"So what do you want to seem like? We can make you-" Grace cut her off.
"I'll look like myself, thanks." She said, a little bit loudly to make sure they heard her over the conversation they were already starting to have over what they could make her seem like. They looked up abruptly, and nodded.
"Okay." She said. They took the photo, and then Grace was sent off to another station.
The washed her skin thoroughly, and let her hair down and took the flower out of it, so it tumbled down her back in loose waves. Every so often, the lovely noise of Lucinda complaining or shouting would be heard, and then die back down. Finally, they seemed to be satisfied, and sent her to (yet another) station, where there was a wide array of tools and products arranged.
At this point, more girls had arrived, and the room was starting to become louder and the stations she had already been to were filled with other girls, and the room was a hub of activity.
The people at the station looked at her, and then another woman came forward.
"So what do you want us to do? Is there a certain look you want?" She asked. Grace though about it for a moment.
"Well..." She began.
A while later, the woman held up a mirror in front of her. Grace looked. She loved it. Her hair, which had previously been a little below her waist in a straight line, was now closer to mid back length and layered. Her nails were turquoise and hot pink, and she had managed to, for the most part, keep the makeup off. She looked different, but still like her. She smiled. The lady who had cut her hair smiled too.
"Now go over there to that table and pick a scent." She told her.
Grace walked over the table as she'd been instructed and looked at all the scents. There were so many! Finally, she chose the rose one for its sweet, delicate scent. One of the attendants at the table marked something on a sheet of paper, and spritzed some onto her wrist, and directed her to another part of the huge room.
When she reached where she'd been instructed to go, she found a rack with her name and several dresses. She finally settled on a forest green one, and a pair of silver heels. Then several people put her hair up into a waterfall braid, and sent her over to the picture station to have her after picture taken. She was then told she could go sit down.
Nobody else was in the area where she was sent, so she just waited there awkwardly. A new group of girls arrived, but since they were early and another group was late, they had their pictures taken and were sent to the area where Grace was until another station opened up.
One of them, who was quite tall, took a seat as far away from the other girls as she could and picked up a magazine to hide her face, though Grace caught her rolling her eyes before she did so. Oh joy. Another Lucinda. Thankfully, Silvia walked on at that moment as another three girls headed over to the area where Grace was waiting-one of whom was Summer.
"Girls, if you're done, please come with me!" She announced to the bustling room. Grace stood up to follow her.
Elodie's POV
She stood up to go with Silvia and the other girls who had stood up. She'd just finished having her makeover done and had changed into a red dress with black heels, and then had her hair put into a bun.
She picked out a signature scent, and was then hurried along to where Silvia was waiting with a small group of girls. There was several girls she hadn't met, and, unfortunately, one of the girls she hadn't met, but had heard was horrible. Silvia surveyed them, and then the room, and then lead them out to tour the palace.
Two of the girls-Summer and Grace-chatted quietly, while the tall girl kept sighing and tapping her foot impatiently-something difficult to do in heels. Elodie did not like her at all.
One of the girls in the group turned to her as Silvia stopped them the Great Room.
"She's terrible, isn't she?" She said, looking at the annoying girl's back. Elodie didn't have to clarify who she was talking about, and nodded. Colette had been saying how it wasn't that impressive, and that you could tell if someone was below a two because their jaw would drop at the palace.
She was so ready to be done with her.
Finally, Silvia stopped again, rather than just walking with her running commentary on the places they were walking by. She'd shown them the Great Room, the room they would be eating in, how to get to the area where the rooms of the Selected were located, which staircase led to the forbidden third floor, and the women's room. Elodie didn't know what else there was to show them.
"This is the fitness center girls. If you have free time, rather than stay in the women's room, you may come here. There's a variety of different things, including exercise machines, a dance studio, gymnastics equipment, and a swimming pool." She said to them. At the mention of a pool, one of the girls perked up considerably. Silvia continued.
"This gym is one designed specifically for the selected. There are some things purposely not there, but there's specialized equipment there for all of you." She says.
Silvia then walked them back to the Women's room, where she deposited them and asked for the next round of people who were done.
Okay, another chapter. I'm thinking of doing a main character's POV, and then maybe another, or just introducing another supporting character. If they got an intro, they probably won't get one of these unless they're a main.
