Chapter 10

When Rux got to the place of the girl who volunteered to bring all the girls to her home, she was surprised. The girl lived in a mansion, sure, but that wasn't where they went. Apparently, her mom owned a beauty salon. And her mom was letting the girls use it for prom preparations.

Bruce never took her to a beauty salon, and her parents never had enough money to do it. She had never cared very much, but now that she stood in the huge building, she was surprised by how comfortable it was.

"Rux!" Called Mia. "Come on!"

The girls were doing one girl at a time so they could get everything perfect. And indeed, they got everything perfect. Not just perfect, but past perfect. Each girl looked amazing. It was the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. It was miraculous.

Of course, Rux was last. They wanted to spend as much time as possible on her.

And her turn came quickly.

First, they gave her a steam bath. Surprisingly, it felt very nice. Next they put her in a chair, ready to do hair.

Rux, at first, was sure that they couldn't do anything to it, but they apparently had many different thoughts on the subject. After washing it and drying it and brushing it, she wanted nothing to do with her hair, but she sighed and let them do as they wished. Somehow, they managed to make it shine beautifully. Rux never imagined it could be so soft.

Then came makeup. They all agreed that makeup should be soft on her face. So, they just evened out her "uneven" skin tones and gave her shiny lip gloss that made her lips taste like strawberries, which she was informed was Josh's favorite fruit. Then they highlighted her eyes with golden eyeshadow that brought out the deeper blues in her eyes. Once they were happy with her face, they moved on to nails. Seeing hers, they rounded them and, keeping the golden theme, they painted her nails.

Of course, after all this, they were stuck finding a dress. The rest of the girls had the perfect dresses, but inside the salon, no one could find the perfect dress for beautiful little Rux.

That's when someone knocked on the glass. Rux walked out with the rest of the girls in her fluffy white robe. Her face lit up.

"Alfred!" She hurried over and undid the door.

"Ah, Miss Rux." He smiled at her. That's when she noticed the black covering over a hanger.

"Um, what's that?" She asked curiously.

"Master Bruce realized that he had forgotten about your prom when you called. He got this as swiftly as he could to make up for it." Alfred leaned down. "You'll love it." With a wink, he handed it to one of the cheerleaders and bowed. Then he was gone along with old, shiny car.

Rux smirked. "Good, old Alfred."

All the girls except Rux crowded around the dress to look at it. Once it was opened, they all started smiling and laughing. When Rux got curious enough to come over, they zipped it up.

"No, no." One girl said. "You can't see it until you put it on."

Rux looked at her curiously. "Wouldn't that be now?"

The girl, Tamera, smirked. "Yep. Hey, Mia! Mind helping her?"

Rux stared in shock. She needed help dressing? She sighed. Why wasn't she surprised?

"Okay!" Mia grabbed the dress and snatched Rux's hand before practically running to the dressing room. "Oh, you're going to love it!"

She rose an eyebrow, but said nothing. When they got to the dressing part, as uncomfortable as Rux was, she didn't complain once. And it took a lot of time, too. Lots of tugging, pulling, and holding her breath latter, she was dressed and brought into the room for all the girls to see.

There were lots of "oh"s and "ah"s, but she still hadn't seen it. So, they brought her into a room with a huge mirror and commanded her to look. When she saw she gasped.

Rux wasn't a girl all about the dress, but when she saw it, she was almost reduced to tears.

The dress was a corset in the front made of a beautiful and silky golden color. It had perfect stitching in the front and in the back, where it was corseted, a crimson ribbon with an orange ribbon ran through it to make it perfect. The bottom was literally liquid gold as it moved perfectly, clinging to her legs in places. In the front, it was lifted slightly so she wouldn't trip and in the back it trailed behind her. It was low for Rux, but she hardly cared. It actually made it look like she had a bit of a shape. When she spun, it shimmered like fire, deadly and beautiful. She smiled.

Thank you, Bruce!

"And a princess isn't complete without her shoes." Tamera said from behind her. She came up with a pair of golden slippers that shimmered when the light hit them.

Not knowing how to thank all the girls as their faces lit up at the sight of her, she tackled Tamera. The girls laughed, all in the end somehow ending up laughing on the floor as they hugged. No one knew how amazing the prom would be, but they were happy in that moment.

Rux was happy.

And they still had prom to get to.

FudoTwin17: Yeah, I know that you guys probably aren't very into this chapter, but now that you know what Rux is wearing and how I imagined this going on, well, you just understand.

Cat: Next chapter.

FudoTwin17: Yep! I've gotta go write it, so bye!
