SUMMARY: Leo and Cole play with makeup; the girls watch.

More tea, Ballerina Bunny?  Chapter Four

            Piper and Phoebe finally allowed Paige to orb them over to Cole's lair.  When they got there, the boys were no longer playing dress up… exactly.

            Cole, wrapped in the pink feather boa and still wearing the tiara, was messily applying makeup to Leo's face.

            Phoebe's mouth dropped open in shock.  Piper choked back a shout of surprise.  Paige smiled triumphantly, and the three charmed ones returned to watching the ridiculous events unfolding before them.

            "Oh, Leo," Leo said in his high pitched Southern Belle voice for the kangaroo.  "You look just dashing with all of that blue eye shadow.  I do declare it brings out the blue in your eyes and the absolute non-appliness of your general facial shape."

            "Why thank you, Miss Kanga," Leo said.  "How kind of you to say so."

            "And you are kind too, Leo," he said in his Miss Kanga voice.  "But in a very masculine, non-wussy way.  I think most people would find your manly pacifism to be a turn on.  And you look so pretty with your magic hat."

            "That kangaroo has a Southern accent," Phoebe whispered, struggling to laugh silently at her sister's husband.  "and does Leo have panty hose on his head?"

            Cole cleared his throat and held a tube of bright pink lipstick menacingly in front of Leo's face. 

            'You, too, are attractive in an absolutely not evil and yet still sexy in a bad boy turned good boy way, Cole" he made the bunny say in a high, squeaky voice.

              "Why thank you, Ballerina Bunny," the former Source of all evil replied.  "I do adore your tutu."

            "It would show off your legs to manly advantage," Cole commented in his bunny voice.  He handed the lipstick to Leo, and Leo, purple eye shadow up to his eyebrows and blush completely covering his face except for the area own by the hot pink lipstick, turned to do Cole's makeup.

            "Why I do believe you two are the prettiest, least evil, least wussy, and most masculine Princesses I have ever seen," Leo made the Kangaroo say.

            Cole grabbed Ballerina Bunny and made her hop towards them.  He took her little paw and waved at Leo.  Leo waved back.

            "I wish I could be as pretty as you, Cole," Cole said in the bunny voice, just as Leo put so much powder on Cole's face that the larger man started to sniffle.

            "Do you need a hankie?" Leo asked.

            Cole shook his head and sneezed a high pitched, petite sneeze.

            Leo continued his makeup job, and when they were done, the two picked up a hand mirror and looked at themselves.  They both sighed happily and batted their eyelashes at the mirror.

            "What next?" Cole asked Leo.

            "Let's play house," Leo suggested.

            "Oh you are so cool, Leo and Cole," the both made their stuffed animals chorus at once.

            "You know," Piper whispered, "I think the bunny has a British accent." 

TBC(possibly.  Review if you'd like to see more)… coming up next, Leo and Cole play house, and the girls get to see their stuffed animal counterparts…then the Source and an Elder, more dressup, and a slumber party.
