Chapter Five: At the Party

Ten minutes later they were back at the Peacecraft estate. Kaeorie had changed into her dress and put on all her jewelry without fighting. She rather enjoyed looking at her shinny her put in braid and the twirled into a bun. She placed her silver chain in her hair, "Hey that looks nice!" said Ariel, "Oh and Margery will do your make up now!" Kaeorie hesitated but went on with it. Margery applied a black eyeliner on Kae's top and lower portions of her eyelids right around the lashes. She then applied a sliver dust on her and then put on a lot of black mascara. She then applied a red blush to Kae's cheekbones and a tint of sparkles. Her lips were then lined then coated with a dark red lipstick. She walked out of the room and sat on a soft chair. Ariel sprayed Jasmine perfume on Kaeorie causing her to sneeze. "Oh ya and we are lucky this isn't a partner dance," Ariel exclaimed, "The guests can dance with anyone and such forth!" with that she led Kaeorie down the flights of stairs to join the other guests. The second they came into view Kaeorie detected whispers."Ya that Ariel is so pretty if Relena wasn't here she'd be the prettiest her I think she is jealous. ya and that Kaeorie is quite exquisite as well!" Ariel immediately went off and started dancing but Kaeorie just found her way to the punch bowl. she dropped a tablet in to the punch, which quickly dissolved. She then took a seat beside a young girl and her friend who introduced her self as Dorothy. Dorothy had long blonde hair, the same length as Kaeorie's. They had a lovely conversation when a tap on Kae's shoulder interrupted it. She turned gracefully around as Ariel had taught her to. She came face to face with Quatre. "Would you like to dance?" he asked her. Kaeorie glanced sideways at Dorothy who winked in return as if to say go for it. Kaeorie nodded and rose to her feet he led her to the dance floor. "Oh and don't drink the punch she whispered in his ear as they began to dance. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Ariel and said, "Why don't we go talk to Ariel?" Kaeorie was quite happy as Quatre led her over to them. They were talking happily when another tap on Kae shoulder interrupted her. It was Nina and Victoria, Vicki for short. They had grown up together but had recently been separated. "Heard about your mission, want our help?" asked Vicki who was dressed in a blue silk mini skirt and a white blouse. "Sure, I already poisoned the punch." "That gives me an idea . I will disguise myself and hand Ariel a couple poisoned drinks then tell her to have one and give the other to Relena then in five seconds they will be dead!" said Nina. "You always come up with good ideas!" said Kaeorie, "get five. no six drinks, I'll pretend to drink it so I won't die okay?" "Ya expect us in five!" the two ran off as Kaeorie re-joined the group. "Who were they?" asked Ariel. "Old friends." Just then a young waitress appeared carrying on a platter six lovely snacks and six glasses off punch. Relena took a glass of punch, as did Ariel and her date. Relena's date was Heero and also took some. She moved towards Quatre and Kaeorie who both took one. Every one except Kaeorie begins takes a sip. Vicki quickly moved in behind Heero knocking the glass onto the floor. "Don't drink the punch" Kaeorie's voice sounded in Quatre's mind. He quickly put down the glass as he watched the three who drank the punch fall to the ground. Gunshots sounded as the windows shattered. Masked men came through the windows firing aimlessly. Vicki, Nina and Kaeorie quickly ran towing Quatre and Heero behind them. Heero had picked up the now dead Vice Foreign Minister. They ran out into the court yard where Kaeorie's was parked. They climbed in and left the estate leaving the sounds of gunshot s and screams behind.
