Chapter 10: Gala Day

Piper was super excited for the gala tonight. The arrival of all the teams and Mr. Dickensons big announcement was all going to be televised, so she told her friends back home about it. They were all staying up late to see their friend on the red carpet. Piper was a little nervous. She had her long dark blue hair in rollers to get some volume she left her room in a button up and running shorts to go get herself a cup of coffee. She heard all bladebreaker boys having breakfast in the kitchen. Piper paused before the doorway, overhearing a bit of the conversation down the hall.

"You think this is the best idea, tyson" ray asked

"Of course I do! She has a lot of potential!"

"She's a rookie, Tyson. Even she knows that" Kai spoke. Piper was surprised to hear Kai's voice. He hadn't spoken much at all, other grunts or the occasional scoff. She got a chuckle out of him once. But a full sentence? She was impressed.

"wow, Kai. I didn't know you could talk!" Piper said sarcastically walking into the kitchen

"Of course I can, I'm not a mute"Piper covered her mouth in shock.

"He did it again! Did y'all hear that?" She said pinching Kai's cheek. She smiled and poured her coffee into a big mug. She sat down with the guys, Tyson spat out his cereal.

"What's with the rollers, grandma!?" He asked Piper laughing

"I'm trying out my Halloween costume early. Thought I might go as a crazy cat lady." Piper said "so were y'all talking about me a minute ago?"

The boys all exchanged glances around when Piper's phone started ringing, indicating a video chat. Piper giggled at the name that popped up on her phone "Hil Bill" she answered

"Hey Hil, what's up?" Piper asked her.

"PIPER. I CANT. MY HAIR. UGGHHHH" Piper got wide eyed at the freak out happening on the other side of her phone, ironically enough she had gotten this same phone call twice before in her life. Both from Maxine. Piper smiled.

"I'll be right there Hilary" Piper said hanging up. She took a sip of coffee and stood up. "we will meet you guys back here to leave for the gala right?"

"Right!" Max said giving her a thumbs up. She smiled. Alright well I'm going to grab my make up and shit and we will see you boys in a few hours!" Piper ran back to her room and headed out the door.

Suddenly Piper realized she didn't know where hilary lived. Every time they had hung out had been at Piper's or the mall. She called hilarys phone a few times, to no avail. She sighed and went back inside.

"oooooh, big brotherrrr" Piper sung. She walked back into the kitchen With a big, cheezy grin on her face, Tyson acknowledged her by looking at her "could you escort me to hilarys house? I don't know where she lives and she not answering my calls" Tyson laughed.

"Yeah, okay" Tyson grabbed his hat and off they went.

On the walk to hilarys the siblings were silent for the most part. Piper thought maybe he was embarrassed to be walking around with a crazy cat lady. Tyson thought maybe she just hadn't had enough coffee yet this morning. Piper broke the silence

"Soooo, are you excited for you date with hilary tonight?" Piper smirked at her brother as a blush rose to his cheeks.

"I wouldn't say nervous... I just never thought she'd let me take her on a date. Now our first date is a big fancy gala with a red carpet and cameras? I'm never going to be able to top that" Tyson kicked a rock that was in his way. Piper laughed.

"My first date with Moke was too a local diner for dinner. We had loco Moco - it's like a "fast food" kinda dish. It's a hamburger patty covered in brown gravy serviced over rice with a fried egg on top" Piper giggled at the memory "he managed to spill his coke and my water all over me. He had to take me home so I could change and shower before we went to the movies" Tyson watched Pipers face as she recalled the memory, a small smile appeared on her face.

"I miss having that relationship with someone. Where no matter how much of a clutz they are you'd still go to the ends of the earth for them..."

"Yeah. Then he slept with how many girls? You deserve better" Tyson said. Piper shrugged.

"Honestly, bro. Its not even a relationship I'm looking for. Just a... Friend." Piper said. The last time she went down this road with tyson he blew up.

Tyson looked at her, "This is hilarys house her room is up the stairs, to the right"

"Cool, thanks brah... Hey wai-" before Piper could ask him how many times he'd been in hilarys room, Tyson had already turned around and left. Piper shrugged it off and went inside. She followed tysons directions, and the loud music blaring, it wasn't too hard to find hilary. Piper peeped around the open door and saw Hilary with her face down on her vanity.

"Hil...?" Piper asked walking up to her. Hilary lifted up and Piper could tell what the issue was. "Calm down I got you... Lets go to Your bathroom" hilary nodded through her tears. Hilary looked like she stuck her finger in an electrical outlet. Piper had hilary lean back against her tub as she doused her hair in conditioner and started combing from the ends to the scalp.

"You hot a little excited about putting some volume in your hair, huh?" Piper asked

"Heh, yeah. I just wanted to make tysons jaw hit the floor..." Hilary said quietly. Piper smiled.

"It definitely would have!" Piper joked, giggling. Hilary let out a chuckle.

"I'm serious, Pipe. I just want this date to go perfectly" hilary spoke with wonder in her voice. It made Piper smile.

"while you're trying to impress Tyson, who by the way, is also worried about how he is supposed to top this first date with you, I'm just trying to look bootylicious for all the single guys there tonight" Piper said finishing with hilarys hair

"You mean jooooohny?" Hilary said smirking

"He's pretty much the top of my list. Yeah." Piper said shrugging.

Hilary giggled. "You're so funny, Piper"

"Wash your hair out, shampoo and condition one more time. I'ma find some serum of mine for you to put in your hair before you blow dry, then dry it and I'll fix your hair for you" Piper smiled as she left hilary to her shower.

Piper sat at hilarys vanity doing her makeup. Piper never did the whole "dolled up" thing much. But when she did she killed it. She did a smokey cat eye, with maroon lips. She also put some falsies on her eyelashes and put a little mascara on to blend it all together. Piper took a selfie in the mirror to post to her social media.

Her hair in rollers was really cracking Piper up. If you checked out the rest of her social media there was mainly posts of her friends, dogs, beyblade, soccer and selfies.

She slowly started taking her hair out from the curlers, she heard hilarys shower turn off and the Blow drier start up. Piper started back combing her hair and pinning it just so. She brushed out all her curls giving her the perfect beachy waves. She smiled in the mirror and blew herself a kiss "damn, I look fierce!" She yelled at hilarys as soon as her hair dryer went off

Hilary walked out of her bathroom. Piper pointed to the vanity chair she had just been in. Hilary sat down "do your makeup while I do your hair and we will have enough time to get back to the house." Piper said back combing hilarys hair. She brushed and pinned it all back on hilarys head leaving the ends that she pinned to look like a flower. Piper grabbed a mirror to show hilary.

"Oh, Piper! It's perfect!" Hilary was so excited. The girls gathered their stuff, put their shoes on and headed back to the dojo.
