Chapter 11: Dress Up

Saturday morning and Sam and Tucker decided to take Danny and Magenta into town. Magenta got out of her house then sighed. Sam almost squealed when she saw how cute she was dressed.

"I don't quite understand why I should come?" Danny asked.

"Well, somebody's gotta carry all the bags." Sam said as she grabbed Magenta's arm.

"Uh, Sam... You really don't have to get me any clothes. I could make them you know..."

"But you need a dress for the midnight ball that is coming soon."

"Midnight ball?" Magenta repeated then Sam looked at her.
"Wait... Have you ever been to a ball?"

"I use to go to fancy dinner parties and some of the royal family sons would always ask to dance with me." Magenta said then Danny felt a sting of jealousy.

"Oh, fancy. Was it the night of your life?"

"Fat chance. It was like taking dance class with my brother."

"Speaking of your brother... Doesn't he want to come?"

"Nope. Jagger's not a morning person. And neither is my father." Magenta said as she walked past Danny.


At a dress store, Sam held a few dresses for Magenta to try on.

"Okay, be honest guys; Which dress would be perfect for Magenta? A blood red skinny dress? Or the pale pink frilly dress with a black ribbon on the back?"

"Must we choose?" Danny and Tucker asked then when Sam was arguing to them, Magenta saw a beautiful silver heart locket.
That would look cute on my chocker ribbon. She thought then Danny leaned his head to the side to see her staring at the locket.
I wonder if she wants that locket...? Maybe I could get it for her and surprise her at the Midnight ball. Danny thought then Sam called Magenta's name.

"I'm gonna go with the pale pink one." Magenta said then Danny and Tucker let out a sigh of relief.

"Nice choice. Now, the shoes."

Danny and Tucker groaned then Magenta bowed her head to show a sign that she was sorry. In a shoe store, Sam held two shoes, one black and the other was silver.

"Black would pretty much match the frilly pink dress." Danny said then Magenta nodded. When Sam bought the shoes Magenta tried the shoes on.

"Practice run." Sam said then Magenta wiggled when she had the shoes on. Tucker and Danny snickered then Magenta tried to walk. Suddenly she stumbled and fell.

"I got you!" Danny yelled then Magenta crashed and landed on his lap.

"Oh... Th-thank you..."

Danny suddenly blushed then stood up.
"I, uh, I'll be right back!" He said then he ran. Magenta blinked then removed her shoes. Sam looked at Magenta's hair then held a ribbon and a hair clip.
"Tucker, what do you think? Ribbon or clip?"

"I think the hair ribbon suits her nicely." Tucker said then Sam tied the ribbon around Magenta's hair. Magenta blinked then blushed lightly.


In the bathroom, Danny panted then flushed the toilet.
This is embarassing... He thought, with his face flushed then he smacked his face, sighing.
