"Miss Allyson-" Sebastien began to say before I rudely interrupted the man and rightfully so, because I was quite peeved at the two who suddenly showed up, uninvited, to a party that was dedicated to my friend and captain.
"What do you want Sebastien?" I asked before Ophelia handed me a piece of paper as well as pulling out a datapad from behind her back.
"I understand that you are frustrated at our sudden presence, but we were asked to give this to you by your brother as well as show you this." Ophelia apologies, her eyes always averted to the ground. She was never able to look me in the eyes even when I was a little girl.
On the pad I saw the emailed invitation for my great-grandfather's birthday party, and I couldn't help but scoff as my eyes zeroed in on the line at the very bottom of the invitation. "Failure to appear will result in shame upon your family line." "Yes-" "Why are you two here?"
"Allyson." My brother's voice came from behind Ophelia and Sebastien, the two moving to both sides to allow my brother to step forward. Though my brother was here, he kept to staying just behind the wall, out of view from the party that was going on inside the building I just came out of.
"Apologies, sire." Ophelia said as she fidgeted with the datapad in her hands.
"We were just about to inform Miss Allyson about your proposed request." Sebastien bowed his head.
"You were taking too long, and I was getting impatient." Aurelius declared as he turned his gaze back toward me. "Allyson-"
"Go away." I ordered as I saw an irked expression grace my brothers face at having been interrupted mid sentence. "I've told you that I wasn't going to be bullied by you any longer. I won't be going to that party."
"You know as well as I do that Mother will not allow you to miss this special occasion, she will hunt you down and drag you to that party kicking and screaming." Aurelius warned. "Mother was always good at finding people, you hiding away with your little crew…no matter where you are on this starbase she will find you, Allyson."
"Then I will keep hiding away until the party has passed." I argued.
"Our Mother is persistent, you know that just as much as I do, where do you think we get it from?" Aurelius pointed out and I simply turned around to walk back to my crew before Aurelius spoke up once more causing me to stop in my departure. "If you do something for me, I can do something for you concerning Mother and Father." This piqued my curiosity, and when I looked over my shoulder back to my brother he had his arms crossed over his chest as he looked on in boredom. "Do you want to live your whole life having Mother and Father breathing down your neck? I know for a fact you don't and I'm put in a difficult situation. So, I need to satisfy our Mother and Father, and you need them off your back. I can do that for you if you help me satisfy our parents expectations."
"…I'm listening…" I said, curious to see what my brother has planned to finally get our parents off my back, and if my brother can do that then I would listen. "If I don't like your proposal, then I'll take my chances of fighting off mother and father alone."
"When we were children, you've seen how the adults of our family acted, you see how the children behave…everyone at that party will attempt to outshine the other. You also know that there are some of our cousins that will dig up a few gossip worthy topics to 'dethrone' us so to speak. Anyone who gets the best compliments from our Great-Grandfather and our Grandparents are targets that they will attempt to slander. Any chance to degrade, belittle, disparage, and dismiss our worth (or anyone's worth) with offhanded compliments will take it." Aurelius pointed out.
"Yes, I do know how our family acts as well as what they're capable of." I said as I turned back around to face my brother. "While the parents try to put their children on a pedestal, there will be others who will bring them down a notch."
"As much as I hate to admit it, I need help finding information to counter their claims. You, Allyson, are more than capable of hacking into any information to find what you need, to find what you're looking for…I've seen it. I can't ask my crew due to this being a personal matter." Aurelius stated as he held his hand out to me. "Help me accomplish this, find the necessary information, and I will make sure that Mother and Father leave you alone to your own devices."
"And how will you do that?" I asked, skeptically looking down at my brother's offered hand.
"As you've pointed out, I'm their favorite child. I'm very good at coming up with a sound proof excuse that would cause our parents to listen." Aurelius stated, motioning back down to his hand. "Do you agree to these terms?"
"Blackmail? You're asking me to help you dig up dirt on our father's siblings' family." I glared back at my brother. "Finding ammunition to use to fire back at them, and in return you'll keep mother and father away from me?"
"I will not stoop down to their level and make offhanded comments like they will. That is beneath me." Aurelius glared, clearly offended at my slight accusation. "I have something better in mind. I just need to know who to avoid and what subject to avoid so we can steer the conversation differently and in our favor. Celestyn and you will need this information as well. Make the party go smoothly and you have my word, Allyson, that our parents will never contact you for as long as I am alive."
I looked down at my brother's hand before reaching out and clasping mine with his. "…fine. But if you double cross me, Aurelius, I will make sure all the dirty laundry I find is aired out once this is all over. All of it, ours included."
"Even if we never saw eye to eye, you know I am always a man of my word Allyson." Aurelius clicked his tongue to his teeth in irritation before he turned and started to walk away. "Come, we have a lot of work to do, things to be done before tomorrow night."
Today was the most important day. Maybe not to the majority that called Yorktown their home, but it was important nonetheless to the many who were closely involved. A large banquet hall situated on the top of one of the largest buildings in Yorktown, the top level of the building was reserved for the day to accommodate a truly important party that was celebrating a well renowned retired Fleet Admiral. Only those that were invited were to attend, no exceptions. There were emergency exits that people could try sneaking into, sure, but only one entrance which was the large double doors that separated the party guests from the outside world. Everyone would see if a stranger or intruder were to enter their gathering.
Outside the party, Celestyn stood amongst the hired help, standing out amongst the sea of black and white in her light gold, ballroom gown with a chiffon coating just over the gold fabric from her waist down, the top area of her dress was adorned with millions of rhinestones placed in an intricate design around her chest area as well as from her elbows down to the edge of her sleeves. There was a loop at the end of each sleeve that hooked over her middle finger to keep her sleeves close to her arms. Pieces of chiffon from her skirt were attached to her wrists and every time her arms moved, the chiffon would flow with her movements. Celestyn's hair was neatly ironed straight, still with her asymmetrical bob, topped off with a diamond pin that kept the longer part of her hair out of her face.
While the blob of gold flitted through the waiters, going over each and every person for individual inspections to make sure that they all looked the same. No one would've looked twice at the group who was dressed in the typical uniform that was mandatory for all the hired help that was to serve the revered guests. A black vest over a white fitted dress shirt accessorized with a black bow tie. Their pants? Simple black slacks with black shoes, all identical and matching that one could never tell each person apart.
During final preparations, Celestyn had requested that all waiters and waitresses who were serving at the party were to wear a type of mask that allowed the wearer to see, but the guests wouldn't be able to see the eyes of the person behind the mask. Which was an odd request until Celestyn explained it so that only a DeLuca would understand.
"These things are such a pain to wear…" One of the waiters had commented, and as the waiter lifted the mask from his face, Jim's blue eyes showed through as he placed his mask on the top of his head. "they're scratching my nose and irritating the inside of my eyes."
"Keep your mask down!" Celestyn reached up to the tall captain and forced his mask back into place. "Do you want people to recognize you?"
"This was your plan?" Leonard's voice piped in as the man standing beside Jim moved closer to the smaller woman. "Sneaking us in as the hired help?"
"It's a full proof plan. So long as our family get the drinks and food? No one would care or pay attention to the hired help! Our only concern is making a good impression on our family members." Celestyn assured.
"You're really sure no one would recognize us?" Nyota shuffled over, whispering quietly in case Allyson or any other family members decided to randomly come out from the banquet room.
Celestyn sighed as she reached forward and grabbed the mask off of Nyota's face and held it up to her own so that the crew could see her small demonstration.
"Watch carefully when I hold this close to my eyes." Celestyn stated and when she held the mask up to her face, her brown eyes were immediately overshadowed by black. Where her eyes should've been, all they could see were black sockets of the eye holes staring back at them. "My own little invention. If you take them off it's clear and see through, but when held against body heat? The masks react and glaze over, no one will be able to see your eyes, but your eyesight won't be impaired."
"That's…you made this?" Scotty asked as he reached up for his mask to simply satisfy his curiosity only for Celestyn to lightly bat his hands away. "Ow!"
"Yes, I made this. Honestly, if I wasn't supposed to be a Captain I would've wanted to specialize in Engineering. I love tinkering and working with machinery." Celestyn sighed blissfully before her expression hardened, holding up a finger at the Scotsman threateningly. "Tell anyone, and I'll make sure to hunt you down."
"And what if Allyson recognizes our figures?" Khan asked as Celestyn shook her head.
"She'll be too focused on holding up our family image to take notice of anything else around her." Celestyn stated.
"What about Spock's pointed ears?" Leonard asked to which Celestyn immediately brought out a black bandana from behind her back, stepping up to the Vulcan and tying the piece of fabric around Spock's head to hide his pointed ears. Celestyn nodded her head in satisfaction before giving Leonard a thumbs up causing the man to simply sigh. "Really? A piece of fabric? That's your solution?"
"If you have a better idea I'm open for suggestions." Celestyn growled before inspecting her work once more, nodding her head before turning to look back at the crew. "Did you all do your homework?"
"Yes." Jim nodded his head.
"As the hired help, how are we supposed to assist Allyson without getting her to notice us?" Carol asked.
"You know the faces. As the hired help you can offer Allyson or a family member getting close to Allyson a drink, some horderves, just to deter them from going in certain directions and avoid potential red flag situations." Celestyn responded before shaking her finger at the crew. "Listen closely, to you this is no big deal, but you must treat this as war, my fellow Starfleet officers, because to us? This is most definitely a war we're walking into. If you don't treat it as such then you will be swallowed, chewed up, and spat out to a point where no one would even be able to recognize the blob of mass that came out. You need a tough skin, and above all else? Do not retaliate if someone insults you. Which I guarantee will happen."
"Oh! And before I forget, another invention to help with communication." Celestyn pointed toward where a piece of fabric was tied neatly around her neck. "In your bowties I've installed something that will be very helpful to our cause."
"What is it?" Chekov asked as he readjusted his tie.
"It'll look strange for waiters to suddenly bring out starfleet regulated communicators, so I made something for us to talk smoothly without any interruptions, pesky eavesdroppers or strange glances." Celestyn reached up to the delicate fabric that was sitting neatly around her own neck. When she had pressed down on the fabric, to the shock of the crew, they could hear her voice almost echoing inside their heads. But they noticed that when she spoke, they could see her lips moving but no physical sound coming out. "Inside your bowties is a device I created that will transmit a person's voice into your head, they sync to your brainwaves so that whenever either of you speak, no one but your crew or whoever is on your frequency will hear you. It's…like there's a little bubble around your head. It will make it easier to communicate so you wouldn't have to be in close proximity to each other. All you'd have to do is tap the center of your tie and you will be on each other's frequency. I will not hear anything unless I tap the fabric around my own neck."
"If we want to get in contact with a specific person, how would we do that?" Jim asked.
"Sorry…there's no individual way to talk to someone, at the moment you would need a lot of mental training to accomplish such a thing, I never got to do a full test on this product. You would simply need to go up to your crew in passing." Celestyn suddenly turned bashful as she scratched the side of her cheek. "Though…there were some complications when I built the first model as well as testing this model out."
"What…complications…?" Scotty asked, his hand inching its way up to his neck to yank the bowtie off at seeing the hesitation in Celestyn's eyes.
"During its testing phase a few of my crew got…electrocuted?" Celestyn nervously giggled.
"You're pulling my leg…" Leonard scoffed in disbelief as Celestyn simply stuck her tongue out at the doctor.
"I said I loved tinkering and working with machinery, didn't say I was superb in the field." Celestyn defended.
But before anyone could say anything in response to Celestyn's news, another voice had entered the fray.
"This is absolutely ridiculous..." Allyson's voice interrupted Celestyn just as she was about to continue addressing the 'hired help'. "Is all of this really necessary?"
The crew, dressed and camouflaged as the hired help with their masquerade masks, all turned and parted as Allyson strutted past them as her heels clacked loudly against the marbled tile floors. Her outfit was quite mature, exuding sophistication and elegance just as her sister.
Allyson wore a beautiful, off-shoulder, long sleeve, figure-hugging gown that faded from black to gold. The area where both colors met and blended was just below her bosom as the black looked to bleed, drip, into the gold. The sleeves of Allyson's dress, the color similar to the gown as it faded from black to gold, were very similar to Celestyn's. Instead of a loop at the end there was a thin gold ring that fit perfectly on Allyson's middle fingers. Waves of light brown hair side-swept over her right shoulder, volumized with a slight bounce each time she moved. Around her neck she wore a silver victorian choker with the centerpiece being a teardrop diamond that dangled below the collar and rested on her chest with matching earrings. From the back of her neck, connected to the silver choker, there was a long sheer black translucent fabric that sparkled when the light caught the fabric. The bottom corners of the free fabric were attached to the rings on her finger.
When Allyson lifted her hands up in exhaustion the fabric would move with her arms creating a sort of ethereal effect, as if she was truly walking among the light of the sun, the twinkle of stars following wherever she went, and the dark of the galaxy caressing her body.
"What am I wearing?" Allyson grumbled as she motioned to the trail of fabric that flowed behind her. "I'm surprised I haven't tripped and fallen on this stupid dress."
"You clean up pretty nicely for someone who rarely dresses this way, for once you should really thank Mother for picking out a dress that compliments you." Celestyn whistled as she looked over her younger sister, lightly going over and lifting up the front of Allyson's dress and seeing black stiletto heels with gold ankle leaf shape straps. "Those heels are beautiful!"
"Heels that no one would ever see. I'm suffocating in this." Allyson huffed as she reached up to tug at the choker around her neck as well as holding her abdomen where it was constricting every time she moved. "It's so tight, I feel like I may rip something if I move the wrong way…"
"Mother should've given you a crown to go on top of your head." Celestyn giggled.
"I'm shocked she didn't considering she's wearing something similar to a crown." Allyson sighed.
"You'll match well with Aurelius. I don't know why Mother chose these outfits, but I'm sure it's simply to make us look like royalty." Celestyn said.
"Are you sure we're wearing the right dress?" Allyson asked, looking toward Celestyn and then back to her own outfit. "I feel like this should be on you since you're the middle child."
"We have the right dresses on." Celestyn shook her head. "Mother picked them specifically to match our personality."
"Celestyn, you look like you're more prepared for a ballroom dancing competition then a formal birthday party." Aurelius cut in, walking up to his younger siblings.
Aurelius carried himself with pride, no surprise there, wearing a black military frock coat with twelve gold buttons adorning the front of the coat, gold floral patterns woven all throughout the outfit with his high collar clasped together. Solid black pants tucked into dark gold knee high boots, and a black coat draped over his shoulder that reached mid thigh with golden ornamental shoulder pieces. Connecting the two shoulder pieces was a gold braided cord that kept the coat in place as it sat comfortably in the center of Aurelius's chest.
Aurelius's nose scrunched up in disgust at seeing the dazzling sparkles coming from Celestyn's outfit when the lights from the chandelier in the hallway caught the stones adorning her dress. "What's with the jewels on your outfit…"
"Mother sure knew how to pick these outfits and Father shockingly approved." Celestyn held her hands up, giving a mock twirl as the bottom of her gown flared out. "I guess gold is our family theme for this party."
"A fitting dress for an Orion dancer." Aurelius half heartedly commented.
"A compliment, thank you! I love watching those beautiful women dance." Celestyn smiled. "Didn't know you had it in you, brother."
"It wasn't a compliment." Aurelius mumbled as he looked around the room at the group. "Where's Mother?"
"The golden peacock is already inside." Celestyn commented. "Apparently we're the last to make our grand entrances as instructed by our Grandfather."
"You shouldn't insult our Mother so lightly, Celestyn." Aurelius scolded.
"It wasn't an insult, she's literally wearing a white and gold dress that is very reminiscent of Earth's historical Mary Curzon's peacock dress." Allyson sighed.
"Why would Mother choose a dress like that…" Aurelius questioned as Allyson shook her head, not knowing the reason for any of her mothers decisions.
"We're truly going to attract a lot of attention tonight…" Allyson looked up to the ceiling.
"It's kind of like that 21st century book I've read. Have you read it? The one with all the children that were randomly chosen from different sectors, paraded on a live broadcast dressed in frilly and insane outfits to garner favor from the public?" Celestyn chuckled. "My point is is that we needed to make a statement, and I think we're going to do just that."
"If I'm thinking of the book you're talking about, if memory serves, everyone was killing each other in the end to remain the last victor. Fitting…" Allyson mumbled as she leaned against the pillar beside the only door leading into the party, arms gracefully crossed as she steadily tapped against her bicep. "why did you read such a book?"
"I got bored, nothing in the family rule book says I can't read certain books. I need to do something to pass time in space." Celestyn said as Allyson shook her head, commenting how dumb this whole situation was.
Aurelius suddenly took notice of the group that was gathered with them in the hallway, more people than necessarily needed. He had gone up to Khan, ironically, and stared at the man as black eye holes stared back. "Who are these people, Celestyn?"
"Our procession," Celestyn immediately cut in, pushing her older brother away. "our own entourage. With how normal and bland they look, I figured we'd stick out even more."
"We already stick out like a sore thumb." Allyson irritably said as she started to tap her foot impatiently, though it may be more due to her nerves then being impatient.
"So, Sebastien will notify us when it's time for us to enter, we're going to hear the music inside stop, and that will be our cue to make our grand entrance. Sebastien will announce us in and-" Celestyn listed what was about to happen. "as we walk in, on either side of us will be our lovely hired help marching in two single file lines with us leading the way."
"What's the plan here?" Allyson asked as she looked to both her older siblings. "The night before you had worked me till I fell asleep from exhaustion. We found some interesting things, but you still have yet to tell me the plan."
"You never quite told me as well." Celestyn looked to her brother curiously. "Simply gave me a list to memorize."
"We won't fight, mainly, anything they come up with…present to our family, we will simply...imply that we know more then we let on." Aurelius stated.
"Mind games?" Celestyn balked. "All that information you told me, and our plan is to play mind games with our family?"
"To mess with their mentality." Aurelius nodded his head. "Not to mention we will not stoop to their level of immaturity. What better way to show that we are better than to make the elders see the imperfection and crude behavior of those that dared to pick a fight with our family line."
"That's…actually clever." Celestyn commented.
"Allyson would not have helped gather that information if I hadn't promised that we wouldn't use it as straight out blackmail, we simply need to imply that we know things that they think we don't know. The secrets they attempted to keep hidden stood no chance against our younger sister." Celestyn was a bit surprised that Aurelius could actually compliment Allyson.
"You were able to find all that information in one night?" Celestyn looked toward Allyson in surprise with Allyson simply letting out a sigh.
"I'm not as useless as everyone made me believe to be." Allyson scoffed. "Our family gave me the necessary tools to be a great starfleet officer, tools that I'd forsaken when I left. In my time at the academy I was able to hone skills that our family looked down upon." Allyson mumbled as she stared forward at nothing in particular. "It took my crew...my friends to give me confidence to wield those tools once more as well as apply the skills I developed. They made me realize that I could be so much more…through them, I became stronger."
Allyson hadn't realized the very crew she spoke about was around her, and a few of them smiled at how highly she thought of them even when they weren't around. Leonard though, had wanted to speak right then and there, to tell Ally that she was already strong to begin with. She became strong by her own hands, they were simply there to make her see herself as they saw her.
"Tonight," Aurelius looked to both Celestyn and Allyson. "we are on the same team. Agreed?"
"Agreed." Celestyn voiced as Allyson nodded her head. "Let's make this night go smoothly so we can go back to ignoring each other."
As the three siblings continued to talk, with Allyson having pushed off the pillar to join the two Captains, Leonard and Khan had been staring in awe at the woman that they barely recognized, and it took the two men a while to realize that the woman really was Allyson.
The outfit she wore, with her face dolled up in a gold smokey eye makeup with dark colored lipstick. She looked so different, in a good way, that they felt they were seeing another side of Allyson. Compared to the bubbly, kind, and considerate woman that always spoke to them with such love and adoration, the woman speaking to her siblings seemed incredibly powerful and imposing. You wouldn't even guess that she wasn't a captain or even an admiral with how she carried herself. They knew that Allyson was an amazing woman, but they also realized that they keep learning something new about her everyday they're together. There was only one word that crossed both men's mind: stunning.
Allyson had shivered, a chill going up her spin as she took a glance around the room suspiciously.
"Allyson?" Aurelius reached out and jabbed his pointer finger into Allyson's forehead. "You need to pay attention. Where did your mind wander off to?"
"I thought I felt something…" Allyson said, nursing her forehead, before shaking it off. "it's nothing."
While Aurelius and Allyson continued to speak about their plan, the two had failed to notice that Celestyn took a quick glance toward the crew that was listening in on their conversation without making it known that they were listening.
Celestyn was right, Allyson hadn't noticed that her crew was around her, too preoccupied and concerned with what was about to go down inside the banquet hall, but they also realized that subconsciously? If they weren't careful, she could feel that Leonard and Khan were around because of the bond they shared. They had miscalculated just how strong their bond actually developed with how much time they spent together.
As quietly, and going unnoticed by the three siblings, Jim had reached up to his bowtie.
"Giving this contraption a test. Can you hear me?" Jim spoke out, unintentionally whispering even if Celestyn had said that they would be fine if they spoke normally.
"Loud and clear." Sulu responded as Jim saw his crew give the tiniest bit of nod one right after another.
"You two need to be careful about what you're feeling toward Ally!" Jim harshly scolded both Leonard and Khan.
"Sorry, Jim, it just sort of…happened." Leonard said.
"We miscalculated. We will try our best." Khan sighed.
"Well, we know this thing works. Be prepared for what awaits us inside." Jim warned his crew. "And as much as possible, do not engage anyone. We don't want to make a scene and give ourselves away."
"Look at them, they're really going all out on their planning. Strategizing, floor plans, obstacles to jump over, people to avoid while also people that need to be greeted who are important to converse and mingle with." Leonard was admiring Allyson as she spoke to her siblings. Yet…she wasn't being overlooked like he had seen in the past. It was as if the three siblings were now on equal footing, Celestyn and Aurelius were acknowledging Allyson and listening to her input when the older brother had actually asked at some point for her suggestions and opinions.
"That's because, McCoy, just as Miss Celestyn stated. To them…this is truly war they're marching into." Khan commented as he recalled the balls and parties he and his crew had to attend. Being put on display, forced to put on a face…a mask, just to please the majority.
"Allyson DeLuca earns that command and respect the moment she opens her mouth to speak. She draws people in, changes them…motivates them to strive to be better than they already are." Jim had quoted what Admiral Pike had once told him a few years back when he was sitting at his lowest in a random bar Jim had found. "I think we may see something quite interesting at this party."
Allyson had suddenly sneezed causing Aurelius and Celestyn to back away.
"Gross…" Celestyn commented as she looked to Allyson in slight disgust as Aurelius, shockingly, offered Allyson a white handkerchief.
Allyson sniffled as she glared at the offered fabric. "I'm going to blow my boogers on this…"
"I don't want it back." Aurelius scrunched up his nose as Allyson took the fabric and quietly blew her nose, gently patting her nose to avoid messing up her makeup. "Burn it or throw it away when you're through. We still have much more to discuss."
But before the siblings could continue their conversation, Sebastien had poked his head through the crack of the double doors, interrupting the three who turned their eyes to the man.
"Master Aurelius, Miss Celestyn, and Miss Allyson. It's almost time." Sebastien notified the three as Aurelius nodded his head and immediately dismissed the man.
"Places!" Celestyn harshly yelled out toward the waiters and waitresses, all that was present jumping into action as they flanked both sides of the three siblings.
"We're going to have to be on our best behavior." Aurelius warned. "Play things by ear for once."
"Let's hope this party goes smoothly, then I can be finished with such events." Allyson whispered as her eyes turned to look up at her brother. "Remember what you promised, Aurelius."
"Of course." Aurelius said as he held out his white gloved hands for Celestyn and Allyson to take, and when the two women looked at their older brother skeptically, Aurelius could only let out an exasperated sigh. "I do portray myself as a gentleman, and what kind of a gentleman would I be if I allowed my younger sisters to walk in without an escort."
Allyson was the first to place her hand in her older brothers, and just as her hand came into contact with Aurelius the music inside had stopped.
"Announcing! Master Aurelius, Miss Celestyn, and Miss Allyson DeLuca! Son and Daughters of Master Caius DeLuca!"
Aurelius had motioned toward his free hand, lightly glaring at Celestyn who smiled cheekily up at her brother, and when Celestyn had placed her hand into Aurelius's offered one the double doors started to creak open.
"It's showtime, ladies and gentlemen." Celestyn whispered as Aurelius strode forward with Celestyn and Allyson walking in time with Aurelius.
The three siblings walked together, side by side, through the threshold of the double doors to face the ravenous wolves that waited inside.
The siblings have armored up, they are prepared to go to war! And secretly the crew was snuck into the party thanks to the middle child haha. I hope that I was able to describe perfectly the three DeLuca's outfit so that you can see it in your mind. The best I can say is imagine royalty? Or like a mixture between military/royalty and what you would see at the oscars type of dresses. In my head I can see the dresses and clothing...I just hope I was able to deliver the image I see to you. =,(
If you are enjoying yourself and my story: review, follow, and favorite! but it's not mandatory =) just knowing that you gave my story a chance, and decided to read my creation makes me incredibly happy! I hope everyone is continuing to stay safe out there wherever you may be in the world!
