Arsenic and Young Zelda Part 2
"Something looks different about you this morning," Hilda said when Zelda came into the kitchen the next morning. She had worked late the previous night trying to get a good start on her research. She was pleasantly surprised to find that she didn't feel exhausted at all. Apparently the sugar in the cake had done her a lot of good.
"I feel wonderful," Zelda said with a smile. "I haven't felt this good in years, not since I was in my three hundreds."
"Well, you look great," Zelda had a glow about her that made her seem years younger. Her skin seemed a bit smoother as well. Zelda didn't have wrinkles but over the years everyone's face naturally picked up lines from use. All of those little lines seemed to be gone now. Zelda's eyes were also brighter and her hair had a nice shine to it. Just then Hilda noticed the outfit that Zelda was wearing. Even since the twenties, Zelda had had a tendency to wear short skirts but this was very short even for her. The black skirt came halfway down her thigh and the blue blouse that Zelda was wearing was extremely low cut. "What do you have on, though?"
"I just felt like dressing up a bit today. Good morning, Sabrina," Zelda said as her niece came in and stopped in surprise at the sight of her aunt's new outfit. It made Zelda look so young.
"What's with the outfit?" she asked. It didn't seem like something her sensible aunt would wear. It made her seem so young.
"I just felt like wearing it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the Other Realm Mall. I need some new shoes," Zelda said as she hurried off.
"Shoes? Since when has Aunt Zelda been into shoes?" Sabrina asked.
"Not since 1782. I wonder what's gotten into her?" Hilda wondered.
