Chapter 4
Maria looked around her at her closest friends in the world. Tess, Isabel, and Liz looked at her with a smile similar to the one she wore. In a few minutes they would be onstage, trying to get some sense through Max's very thick skull.
"Are you sure this looks ok?" Liz asked softly. "Are you sure we don't look, well, sluty."
Maria looked around their small group at the outfits they had chosen to wear. She herself had her hair down in the springy curls she loved. And she wore a long red tie-dye skirt and a peasant shirt that she tied in the front to reveal her belly button, and the sun she had tattooed around said belly button five years earlier.
Isabel had her hair up in a ponytail on the top of her head much like she had worn it that first Alien convention after the shooting. She wore black leather pants and a red halter-top, which showed the tattoo she had on her right shoulder blade.
Tess had kept her hair long over the years, and now it reached her knees. It was still curly, but with the help of her "talented hands" it was only slightly curly rather than ringlets. She wore a purple tank top and white jeans that just showed her tattoo on her back.
Liz had changed the most of the group mentally and physically, or physically in the last few hours. Her hair, which she had kept long and brown like it was in high school, was now long, to her butt, and red thanks to Isabel and Tess. They had changed it to auburn red and added some curl to it. Luckily, only Amy and Jim had seen her before it changed, so there would be no questions from anyone's families or the town for that matter. She wore a black mini-skirt and a sky blue halter-top that ended just above her ribs, much the same length of the top that Jasmine wore in the movie "Aladdin". Her tattoo showed up great with the black skirt, which they all knew would drive Max nuts, at least the three of them not in Liz's shoes.
Maria looked at her oldest friend in the group, then looked up at Tess and Isabel. All at once, the three girls exclaimed. "No!"
"Elizabeth Claudia Parker, we do not look sluty, and you look absolutely fabulous." Maria said forcefully, trying to get Liz to realize the truth.
"Yeah, kick my brother out of your head. He's a jerk." Isabel said.
Liz smiled, "Okay, you're right. I still can't believe you dream walked me." she said shaking her head, " But I love you for it.
"Thanks. Now, are you ready?"
"Yeah. Lets go."
