This chapter is candy95's idea! I made it into a girl's afternoon, then El tells Nancy Steve isn't a jerk anymore. I hope you like it!
They have the entire afternoon. Nancy pulled El upstairs to her room. It had plenty of space for just the two girls, and El looks at Nancy, confused.
"Why are we doing this?" El asks.
"The boys are on their camping trip," Nancy says, "And we're going to do some girly stuff." Nancy says.
"Ok," El says uncertainly.
"So, first," Nancy says, grabbing her keys off her dresser and heading back downstairs with El in tow, "We're going to get you a really pretty outfit."
El pulls on the dress. It's a tent style dress in the prettiest purpley-grey color, with some shiny sequins lining the top. She slips into the gladiator boots Nancy insisted would look amazing with the dress, and El pushed open the dressing room door to show Nancy.
"OHMYGOSH!" Nancy gushes. "Do a little twirl," She instructs, and El complies barely able to hold back a smile. "Yes, this is the outfit, totally, yes." Nancy mutters as El changes. When El emerges, Nancy adds, "Just wait 'till Mike sees you in it," And the two girls leave the store giggling.
Nancy and El returned to the Wheeler's house for a promising night. Nancy loaded her favorite chick flick into the VCR, and stacked up a couple to watch after that. Nancy and El ate some popcorn, watched plenty of movies, and now Nancy's painting El's fingernails. El picked a light pink because it reminded her of her pink dress from her first makeover.
"You have all of the guys wrapped around your finger." Nancy says. "Especially Mike," She adds, rolling her eyes.
"So do you," El says, giggling. "Steve and Jonathan." Nancy grimaces.
"Please don't remind me of Steve. I don't even know what I saw in him," Nancy mutters in distaste.
"But he's so nice!" El says, still not big on adjectives.
"What makes you think that?" Nancy asks, genuinely interested.
"He gives us rides to places, he, uh, plays D&D with us, and he hosts sleepovers!" El says, excited.
"He really does all that for you guys?" Nancy asks quietly.
"Yeah, and he pretends he doesn't like us, but he really does." El adds quickly, hoping to improve Steve's image.
"Doesn't Jonathan help you guys with anything? I mean, he's Will's older brother, so he's there right?" Nancy asks.
"He gives us rides, sometimes, and he takes pictures of us." El says, trying not to make Jonathan look bad.
"Oh," Nancy says.
"He drove us to the movies," El adds, trying to make Jonathan look better.
"That's good," Nancy says, finishing up El's left hand, her image of Steve much better than it's previous.
