"My father is going to have a stroke!" Hamilton said as he looked at himself in the mirror. He adjusted the black fitted corset and tugged again at the black fishnet stockings he was wearing. "How do girls stand this stuff?"

"Girls don't..." Bella snickered. "Transvestites do..."

"Stop fidgeting Hamilton." Jake said, "Now you can appreciate the corset that I wear everyday. And...keep in mind...I have a lot more to squeeze into it than you do." Hamilton smiled and winked in response.

Jake and Bella giggled as they fixed the black wig Hamilton was wearing.

"Hamilton...go like this..." Jake said as she showed him an exaggerated pucker. Hamilton puckered his lips and made the obvious choice to lean in and kiss Jake. Jake returned the kiss and backed up only to apply a thick coat of bright red lipstick to his mouth.

Bella stood by and wedged a Kleenex between his lips. "Now...go like this.." She said demonstrating a perfect blotting technique.

"He's going to collapse...right there...in front of everyone" He said again for emphasis.

"No he won't. Stop worrying Hamilton." Jake said as she picked up a high heel shoe and measured it against Hamilton's foot. "Here, try this on."

"It's not like he has a clue about Rocky Horror. He's not going to recognize me as Dr Frank N Furter...all he's going to see is HIS son...in drag. And this is the plan??? I'm not seeing it." Hamilton said waving is arms around.

"Relax Hamilton...it's gonna be fine." Bella sounded confident.

"And to add insult to injury...the girl I was going to introduce to my parents as my PRETEND girlfriend is now going to the dance as my REAL girlfriend's date."

Hamilton drew in a long deep breath...held it...and released it slowly.

"Hamilton.....it's going to be fine." Bella said smiling at Jake.


"Hurry up Scout..." Will called. "I've got to get to my Mom's beauty shop before it closes and pick up my wig. One of her customers actually has a red sequined dress I can borrow...can you believe?"

"Cut me a little slack will ya...I have trouble getting into T-shirts and jeans in the morning. This...is a little different." Scout emerged from the bathroom in time to see Will doubled over in front of him in hysterics. Scout wore a dress and apron he'd borrowed from one of the cafeteria lunch ladies. A pair of nylon stockings which willingly bagged around his ankles. A graying wig, styled in a bun and covered in a hair net. "Hell...ooohhh!" Scout said copying Robin Williams from the movie the best that he could.
It took a moment for Will to composed himself enough to speak.
"Good huh?" Scout said looking for Will's approval.

"Great... there's only one problem...I can see Mrs. Doubtfire....."Will said throwing a pair of rolled up socks at Scout. "You only have one boob."

Bella drove to the Rawley dorm and waited for Jake to come downstairs. The car door opened and Jake got into the passenger seat. She turned and pulled the long black dress in on top of her. As she did, the pointed hat fell to the ground. "I hope this isn't an indication of how things are gonna go tonight." Jake said.

Bella placed a wicker basket on Jake's lap containing one of Grace's stuffed dogs. "Here...hang on to Toto for me. You look fantastic."

"That's good.....because this green face paint really itches." Jake turned to look at Bella. "You look really good too. Hey, thanks for driving......it would have been hard for the both of us to get to the Emerald City on my bike in these outfits. Did you...um... bring the other stuff?" Jake asked.

"All set..." Bella smiled with a devilish look on her angelic face.
