"Serena where did you get these dresses?" Mina asked as she opened the door to her dorm. Serena glanced over at Mina and glared at her, rolling her eyes Serena pushed past Mina and into the room. Serena had told them a week ago not to worry about the dressed that she had the perfect ones for them. Placing the five black dress bags on the back of the sofa she turned to face four curious faces.
Nodding she turned around, grabbing one of the bags at random she glanced at the fabric swatch, pointing at Lita she handed the dress bag over to her. She did the same thing for the rest the girls, nodding again she started to head for the door.
"Serena where are you going?" Lita asked when she noticed the pilot trying to leave.
"I'm going to take a shower in my room then come back here to get ready." Serena told her as she signalled something to Lita, who nodded in understanding.
"Why can't she take a shower here? We wouldn't mind." Hotaru asked as she re~entered the room.
"All the pilot's have non-stain surfaces in their bathrooms." Lita explained as she looked at them. "It's so they don't have to explain why there's a pink stained bathtub in their room."
"Her and her b-damned missions." Raye muttered as she opened her dress bag. Pulling her dress out she stared wide eyes. "This is perfect."
The dress was a sleeveless, form fitting chinese style dress, with slits on both sides going up to the knees. The trim was gold, a simple design of embordered black branches flowing across the dress, it's base colour was a deep firey red. Out of a smaller box came a pair of red high heels that were almost completely open except for the heel support and toes. A pair of ruby star earring and a garnet star bracelet were in a velvet box.
Lita pulled her dress out next. Her's was a simple cut and design. The skirt flowed out from her hips and the straps were in a large diamond cut. They widened the most at the shoulder, there was a modest V cut that showed little cleavage. It was pine green in colour, a shimering green wrap acompanied the piece. Lita's jewelry consisted of a pearl bracelet, turquoise earrings in a diamond cut and another turquiose diamond necklace choker with a turquoise clasp. Three rows of pearls connected the stone from its points. She had a pair of green flats to finish the outfit off.
Hotaru's dress was a deep marron colour. The sleeves came off her shoulders and the neck was a slight curved V with a small pointed oval in the center, showing little cleavage. There was a similar design on the back only it had three, there was one on either side of the center one, sprouting open like a fan. Her earring were similar in design to the design on her back, clasped to a black pearl the outer two pedals were black onxy and the center was a violet alexandrite. The choker was black velvet with a single designed alexandrite with a amesthyt stone inlayed in it, the clasp was alexandrite. Two amesthyt bracelets were the last of the jewelry. Black one inch heeled shoes similar to Lita's finished off the outfit.
Mina was giddy as she pulled her dress out. The dress was halter styled, the collar was a light blue choker with a yellow daisy with a gold center, placed in the center of the choker. The halter J'ed out from the collar. From the waist there was a two inch V shaped stripe then another two inch stripe that came from the center point of the waist all the way to the bottom of the dress in the same blue as the choker. The cut was like Raye's only without the slits and was a soft orange colour. Mina turned the dress around to show that there was no back. The same blue strip wrapped around the waist. Close to the bottom of the dress were two bits of fabric that wrapped around the dress from the front to make sure that the fit stayed tight. Over the dress was a light, transparent, salmon cover that flowed out like Lita's dress. There was a pair of golden citrine, pointed pedaled, flower earrings and an arm band, that was a honey amber with aquamarine outline. Her shoes were a pair of strappy sandles in a salmon colour.
They glanced over at the last bag that was left, comtemplating if they should take a look at Serena's dress or not. Mina made a move to open the bag but Serena walked back into the room, wearing short black spandex shorts and tank with diamond straps and black leather knee high boots her hair was in a low ponytail, she smirked at the girls.
"Well?" Serena asked as she looked at them hands resting on her hips.
"Serena these dresses are fantastic." Mina laughed as she held her dress up.
"Then go get ready." Serena told them with a small laugh, watching as they ran off towards Lita's room. Serena, grabbing her dress bag, went into Hotaru's room to get changed.
Serena's dress was an off the shoulders, loose, long sleeved, form fitting dress. The dress hugged her form until it reached her lower calves where it flowed out slightly. There was a small empire waist band, in a light gray blue colour. A large pointed oval came from the center of the neck to the curved point on the empire band. The back of the dress fell in a V to the center of her back and the band circled around the dress like Mina's. A slate blue coloured, transparent silk covered her shoulders and 1/3 of her neck. It was sewn into the empire waist from the inside, on the back a large pointed oval started from the center of the collar to the lowest point in the V. The dress colour was a metallic black with a blue shine. Her only pair of jewely was a pair of iolite heart shaped earrings and she was wearing her boots.
All five dresses were made out of silk. The five of them walked out of the rooms at the same time and Lita, Raye, Mina and Hotaru all hugged Serena for the dresses.
"You'll do our hair right?" Mina asked as she looked at Serena. Serena nodded as she ushered them into Mina's room for hair and makeup.
"Lita you've never worn you hair down, Mina and Raye I'm going to put your hair up and Taru I'm going to put gems in your hair since I like it down." Serena told them as Lita pulled her hair out of its regular style, Serena started to brush and curl the ends. Once she was done she grabbed a can of gold glitter and sprayed it into Lita's hair. The spray worked as hair spray as well. Lita liked the simple style and went over to Mina's makeup table to pull out colours that would match her dress.
Pushing Mina in the chair Serena started by parting Mina's hair half and half. Brushing the top part as she and the others sang along with the radio Shakira Objection. Braiding Mina's hair in a center french braid she ponytailed the top part and looped it several times before doing the same thing to the bottom half of Mina's hair, after moving in front of Mina and having her lean her head down. Serena brought the two braids to meet in the center and back of Mina's head, she placed the other braid in a ponytail and moved to stand behind Mina. Keeping them in a ponytail she started to braid them together, after loosening a few tendrils to frame Mina's face. Placing the loose braid into a bun she penned it in place then sprayed black glitter into Mina's hair.
Raye sat down next as Mina went over to finish Hotaru's makeup and start on Lita's. Serena pulled Raye's hair into an upside down french twist before penning and ponytailing her hair at the base. Putting Raye's hair into a bun, at the base of her neck, she put in two, ruby and diamond jeweled chopsticks in so that Raye's hair wouldn't fall out of its comfind. Spraying in silver and gold glitter she pushed against Raye's hair and tied a gold silk ribbon around the bun.
Hotaru sat down last and smiled as she watched Serena grab a brush to start smoothing her hair down. Spraying in a mix of silver and gold sparkles, Serena nodded as she got the effect she was going for. Grabbing a pack of twenty Australian crystals, she started placing them randomly in Hotaru's hair. Hotaru shook her head to make sure that the gems would stay in place.
Serena pulled her ponytail holder out and placed the band around her left ankle. Checking to make sure that her knives were in easy reaching range at the top of her boots she walked over to were Mina was and grabbed a light silver eye shadow and clear lip gloss.
