Sorry about the link. Go to Google Images, type in white medieval wedding dresses with long sleeves. Go to the 24th photo. It's got a blonde girl with a dress that has really long sleeves. Thanks.
Star's POV:
Finally! It's the weekend and we can have a little bit of fun and search for the answer to who is behind the attack on Rini. I'm so concerned for her and I know it's dangerous to leave her alone, so we're just going to have to take care of her if she is alone at any point in time.
" So do you think that sounds like a good idea?" saralina asked.
" huh, wait what? Sorry I was in my own thoughts"
" (sigh) I saw a modeling agency sending out fliers for models and I thought that maybe we should do it. I mean, I'm going to go crazy if I don't get out of that house soon! Plus, it would be a quick way to get the people- behind- all -of -this's attention. They would know that we are here and they should be careful" saralina said with a wink.
" I think it's a great idea but we should bring Rini with us."
" What? To a modeling job? Are you kidding me?"
" No, it's just that it wouldn't be safe to leave her alone right now."
" What about Serena?"
" She's going shopping with her friends for darien's surprise birthday party remember?"
" Oh yeah, I guess we do have to take her with us then."
" Yup, I'll go tell her and get her ready."
Half an hour later, and the trio arrived at Madam's Modeling Agency for their first job/try-out. They walked into the waiting room and sat down. Then, a short, fashion-savvy women approached them and asked them to please follow her. They entered a big studio with lights, cameras, make-up, wardrobe and many photographers. They walked up to one of the photographers who shook his head 'No' then went back to his pictures.
" They're perfect!" said a young man who ran up to them. " Hi, my name's Joey and I would love to take some pictures of you ladies today."
" Okay, I'm Stara and this is Sara." I said smoothly. Rini looked up at me in confusion and I just mouthed 'later' to her. While Saralina discussed what kind of job we'd be doing. Rini shrugged her shoulders and continued looking around.
" He wants us to pose as roman goddesses in full battle armor." saralina said.
" Sweet! Let's go get ready."
An hour and a bunch of make-up later and we were ready to go.
" Okay girls if you would please stand over there, yes that's perfect!"
The photographer started snapping shots like crazy, then he'd stop and tell them to move a different way. After a few more shots, he told the girls to go change into some bathing suits. On my suit, the top half was blue and the bottoms were red and white with a gem-studded star connecting the bottoms to the top. Saralina's was a black and green bandage bikini that she was really uncomfortable in.
" Alright then, hmmm.. I don't know, something's just not right." , the photographer said, " Ah! You ( he pointed a saralina) are suppose to be acting like you adore that suit but right now your face says you hate it."
" Yeah, I know, I'm sorry but can we take a little break right now?" saralina queried.
" Alright, alright you've earned a break. Take 15 everybody!" the photographer shouted.
" what's wrong Sara?" I asked. She gave me a weird look but then realized that people were eavesdropping.
" I just needed a break." she said as she gestured to the side of the studio, indicating she needed to talk to me in private.
Once we got there,
" Could you help me loosen the straps around my stomach? They're too tight and that's why I was having a hard time smiling."
" Sure thing" I said.
" Thanks, I'm ready to give it another try." she said confidently.
The girls go over to the photographer, only to see him going over their previous photos. Then a model from one of the other shoots walks over to the photographer and starts to demean his work. " This looks totally wrong. You positioned them this way instead of looking at something! How can you call yourself a photographer and have pictures like these?" the model said and stormed off. Star and Saralina immediately walked over to the distraught photographer.
" I think they're wonderful and you've done a fantastic job!" I said and smiled sweetly.
" Yeah, that model doesn't know what she's talking about! These are wonderful!" said saralina.
The photographer looked up at the girls and smiled. " Alright, let's get back to work!"
(glass breaks, a scream)
" Now what?" saralina said with frustration.
The girls turned in time to see yet another pair of ex-guardians who had rini in their grasp. The photographer fainted at the sight of the ex-guardians. Star and Saralina made their escape to go transform. We clicked our normally mundane items and transformed into Princess Star and Saralina.
" Let her go!" I said
" How dare you try to kidnap Rini during the day. Awfully bold aren't you especially with us here."
" She is annoyed that you have the nerve to interfere in her plans and we're here to teach you a lesson, Your Highnesses." said a voice that was clearly another old friend's named Ali.
" Who is this 'she' you keep referring to?" I demanded.
" Enough talk," said her partner, Constance, " now we fight!"
Ali's power was the ability to control wind and she used her full force to throw the guardians out the window. Except that it didn't work, because saralina had put up her shield to protect them. Then Saralina threw her shield at the two ex-guardians to surprise them. They jumped out of the way far enough for Rini, who wasn't anywhere close to being tied up, to make it over to my side. I looked up in time to see Constance land a powerful blow on Saralina. Saralina slumped over and didn't move.
" Saralina! You're going to pay for that Constance!" Star drew out her sword of light yet again.
" Sword of light, cut these guises off their counterparts!" and she swung her sword at the two. The ex-guardians couldn't avoid the strike so, in a moment, there stood my and Saralina's old friends again.
" Thanks so much guys!" Ali gushed. " See you soon?"
" Yeah you know it!" I said. I ran over to check on saralina who just smiled her 'ok' at me. What a relief that she's alright and rini was too. We told rini to go back into the main floor of the studio. Rini looked like she wanted to say something but then thought better of it. Instead she said thank you, did a curtsy and was gone. We transformed back into our bathing suits and rejoined the photo shoot. That night the three of us slept well and didn't wake up once. After all, we'd had quite a day!
