A/N : Sorry it's taken me so long to update but I have been writing so many stories at once that I have kind of left this one behind. Anyway, thanx to those people who reviewed; Kori Lewis, lil, Julie and the two anonymous reviewers - I do appreciate all your comments. I think should clarify that Jenny is a character that I invented and who was not in the original film of Drive Me Crazy.
This chapter is quite short but I will try and update again soon.
(Disclaimer : see chapter 1)
Chapter 3 - The Make-Over
"Shopping? Are none of my own clothes any good?" Jenny asked.
"Well..." Nicole hated having to tell her that she looked awful, but it was the truth, "how can I put this tactfully Chase?" she half whispered.
"Tell her what you told me" he whispered back and then spoke more loudly as he mimicked what Nicole had once said to him, "For starters, you can't wear...anything you own, and we have to clean you up"
"Okay, was that aimed at me?" Jenny looked confused, having missed the whispered portion of the conversation.
"Well, it does kind of fit, yeah" Nicole admitted.
Jenny looked so embarrassed that Nicole almost felt guilty and Chase definitely felt uncomfortable.
"Look, I'm sure you have some great clothes, but they're not the kind of clothes that will get a guys attention. If they were then you wouldn't be asking us for help, would you?" the blonde girl rationalised and Jenny had to admit she was right.
"So, let's go shopping!"
Nicole pushed Jenny into a changing booth with a pile of clothes she had picked out for her. The plan was that she would come out in each outfit and both Nicole and Chase would give their opinions in the vain hope that they would be able to settle on a new look for Jenny that would catch Ray's attention.
"So, am I supposed to be honest here, or am I supposed to say she looks good in everything?" Chase whispered to his girlfriend as they waited for Jenny to appear in outfit number one.
"Well, there's no point to this unless you're honest, but don't be too harsh either, okay?" she told him and Chase smiled.
"Oh yeah, that was real clear, Nicole" he said sarcastically as Jenny emerged in a knee length skirt and low cut top.
"Well?" she asked, turning around slowly.
"I like the skirt" Nicole said honestly, "but I'm not sure about the top, it might be a little too much for you. What do you think, Chase?"
"Well, if you want to get a guy's attention..." he smiled and Nicole hit him playfully in the chest.
"She doesn't want to get it like that!" she smiled, turning back to Jenny, "Try the blue one with the short sleeves" she suggested and with a nod, Jenny disappeared back into the stall.
About a dozen shops and countless outfits later, Jenny was the proud owneer of a wardrobe full of 'suitable' clothes, but Nicole wasn't finished yet.
"Can we go home now?" Chase asked for the eighth time that afternoon.
"Not until we're finished Chase, stop complaining" Nicole told him as she dragged him and Jenny into a beauty parlour.
"Do you know how stupid I feel in this place?" Chase looked very uncomfortable and completely out of place now, even more than he had in the fashion stors.
"Well, I guess we can cope without you now, if you're really desperate to go home"
"I am" he admitted.
"Okay, fine, go!" Nicole laughed and waved him away.
"Thanks for your help Chase" Jenny said as he walked away.
"Not a problem. See you later" he called back.
"Why are we in here, anyway?" Jenny asked, trining back to Nicole.
"Clothes aren't enough to transform you. We still have hair, nails and make-up to do" th blonde girl explained.
"So, then Ray will notice me?" the brunette checked.
"Well, let's hope so"
A/N : Please review and I'll update as soon as I can.
