"Stupid hair." Alex slammed her wand down on her vanity. She began to curse violently as she got up and paced the length or her room. Kristin came out of Alex's bathroom a moment later and ran into the frustrated young woman.

"Woah. Sorry Alex. Didn't see you there." Alex balled her hands into fists and squeezed her eyes shut. Kristin quickly took a few steps backwards and watched as Alex tried not to scream.

"Hun, what's wrong?"

"My stupid, damn freakin', bloody, good for nothing hair!!! UGH! I am going to shave my head bald in a minute!!" Kristin gently placed her hands on Alex arms and guided her over to the vanity.

"It's ok hun. Calm down. I'm sure I can help." Kristin grabbed her wand from her bag and began to work on Alex's hair.

"It just doesn't look right when I do it! I've tried everything!!"

"Not this," Kristin smiled. With a wave of her wand, Alex's hair whirled around a little before settling in a gorgeous upsweep of curls. It was a large messy bun, with beautiful red curls sticking out in the back. There were two tiny curls framing her face. "Now look."

Alex ran to the mirror and squealed in delight. She ran back to Kristin and hugged her. "How about me? I don't ever know what to do with my hair. So help me dearie."

Alex picked up her wand and twirled it around. Kristin's straight wet hair transformed into a sleek, slightly plastered 'do with a slight bob at the end. She looked in the mirror, amazed.

"You are a goddess, are you aware of this?!" She exclaimed.

"Yes."

"Okay then. I have to get dressed. Wait until you see this dress!" She scampered to the closet, pulled out a dark dress bag and ran into another room to change.

Later she emerged from the room wearing a strapless red number. It flared slightly at Kristin's delicate hips and twirled slightly as she walked. She played anxiously with the matching satin wrap. Alex gasped.

"Krisse, it's awesome!"

"Really? DO you think Oliver will like it?" She bit her bottom lip in a nervous habit.

"How can he not?" Alex reassured her. She had been doing that a lot lately. Something was going on with Kristin and Oliver. She was constantly wondering how she looked or if she was pretty enough. Alex was worried about her, but she was also getting pretty sick of it.

"Thanks for the encouragement." Kristin smiled. She loved getting all dress up for stuff like this. It always made her feel like a princess - no matter what her boyfriend thought of her.

"Now go get dressed." She quickly shoved Alex out of the room with her dress and sat down to do her makeup.

"You ready to pick the girls up Percy?" Oliver straightened his tie as he stood by the door. "Ugh, not quite."

"Why? Nervous about seeing Alex?"

"Yes, but that's not the problem."

"Well, what is?" Percy walked out with what seemed to be a huge knot around his neck. Oliver looked at Percy horrified. He took out his wand and said a quick spell to get it and his tie untied.

"What are you doing?" Percy asked him looking bewildered.

"Just follow me." Oliver stood beside Percy and gave him step by step instructions on how to tie his tie.

"Thanks." Percy smiled at Oliver as he finished his tie.

"No problem. Ready now?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." Oliver nodded and they both disappeared with a *poof*.

Kristin and Alex were rushing around the apartment frantically when there was a knock on the door.

"Alex you get it!" Kristin shoved Alex toward the door and disappeared into the bedroom shutting the door behind her.

"Coming." Alex replied as she heard the knocking again. She quickly opened the door and leaned up against the frame.

"A bit anxious aren't you? Knocking on the door endlessly. Honestly, what am I going to do with you Oliver?"

"What? No 'Hi guys come on in'?"

"Hi Percy. Come on in." Alex shoved Oliver out of the way and pulled Percy into the apartment. She began to shut the door when Oliver put his hand on it not allowing the door to move.

"Oh fine. Come in you big pain in the rear." Alex stepped out of the way letting him gain entrance.

"I love you too." He smiled sarcastically and shut the door behind him.

"I have to go grab my purse. I'll be right back."

"Where's my girlfriend?" He asked as Alex headed to her room.

"Getting ready, duh." She turned back and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Hi, honey," Kristin came out of her room, "Is Alex picking on you again?" Oliver gave her a weak nod and some puppy eyes to show his mock hurt at Alex's antagonism.

"Oh, sweetheart," she walked towards him to give him a hug, "you'll get over it."

"Hey!"

"I'm just kidding, dear." She kissed him lightly before going back to her room to get her shoes.

With both girls in their rooms, Oliver took the moment to give Percy a few last minute tips. "Did you tell Alex how nice she looked tonight?"

"No," Percy replied nervously, "was I supposed to? I found it hard to even say 'hi'. I don't know if I could do it."

"Don't sweat it." Oliver reassured him. "Just try to bring it up tonight, ok? She's put a lot of work into this and if you are the first to tell her, she'll remember it."

"How am I not supposed to sweat it, Oliver? She looks amazing. I just don't know even what to say or how to look at her without drooling."

"Calm down... and keep your mouth closed... even if you have to staple it and not at anything all night."

"What are you boys talking about?" Kristin asked flirtatiously. Alex followed her from the hallway that led from their rooms.

"We were discussing," Percy began, trying to be suave - or at least not stutter, "uh- how- pretty you look tonight, Alex." Well, he didn't exactly stutter.

Alex smiled at him, "Why, thank you, Percy!"

He smiled back, relieved that he didn't mess it up totally. Kristin looked at her boyfriend, hoping he would say something about her. Instead he just winked and checked his watch. "I think we better go, otherwise we'll be late."
