Chapter 2: Princess Charming's Puppet
"It was you . . ." Holly hissed, more to herself than to Lili, her eyes darted shakily from the open door to Lili.
" . . . Pardon . . . ?" Lili asked, her dimples still high, though she looked bewildered as she half cowered on the end of the small couch beside Holly's unmade futon.
" It . . . " Holly ran her fingers through her disorderly auburn hair. " When . . ." Holly sensed a thick tension in the air.
"Excuse me?" Lili murmured her red lips parting as she whisked silvery blonde hair over her shoulder. She did that so often . . .
"When you . . . " Holly swatted the air in front of her face as if opening a door. "When you came in . . . It was so cold . . . And he . . ."
"Holly, I'm sure it was only a nightmare . . ."
"It wasn't a dream! It couldn't be . . . It . . . It was so real . . ." Holly exasperated, her voice trailing off to nothing. Her eyelid ticked ever so slightly.
"It was only a dream Holly." Lili whispered tensely.
"How would you know! You weren't . . ." Holly's hazel eyes flickered about the room.
That was just it . . .
"No . . . you were there. You were. I saw you . . .You knew me . . . " Holly took a collective breath and began again.
"Lili, who do you see when you look at me?"
Lili mouthed something that was surely a frazzled 'What?'.
"You, Holly. I see you. Captain Short of the Lower Elements Police . . .Why?"
Holly's brow furrowed and she gazed mirthlessly down at the blankets of her futon.
"What color are my eyes . . . my hair?"
Lili's fraud grin dissolved into thin air.
"Your eyes are hazel, Holly . . . and your hair is auburn . . .but-"
Holly bit her lip. Maybe Frond was right. Perhaps it was only a dream.
She ran her hand over her nose. Nothing lay on its bridge.
"Oh . . .I . . ." Holly's mouth was so dry she couldn't finish her sentence. She needed something to drink so badly.
Lili chose to ignore Holly's rambling.
"I brought some wine . . . Do you want any, Holly . . . Holly?" Lili muttered, holding up a large wine bottle and eyeing the Captain, whose eyes had suddenly glazed over.
"Wha- Oh. Sure. Whatever."Oh what the heck. Holly could use some wine anyway.
* * *
Holly tipped the last of the wine to her lips, and eyed Lili, who was fumbling in her purse for some lipstick.
"Hey Lil, you hadn't had any, have you?" Holly muttered, her face rising in a huge lopsided grin.
"What- Um. Yeah. You just weren't watching . . ."
"Oh, okay then." Holly's smile widened painfully with every word.
Lili's electric blue eyes shot up at the clock above the door. She didn't think this would take long . . .
"Holly I- Holly put the glass down!"
"Yes Momma."
Lili sighed, wrenching another full glass from Holly's pincher-like grasp, splashing wine on the faded carpet. This was getting out of hand . . .
"Holly we'd better leave soon if were going to the rece-"
The befuddled Captain slipped out of her chair and, wobbling slightly, walked to the door, the odd lipstick splashed grin still stretched over her face. She tripped slightly over the dress she was wearing, the one Lili had picked out. Lili had been so nice lately, in fact, the more alcohol Holly drank, the nicer Frond seemed.

poo. This chappie stank. O well. I don't drink, so I hope a bottle of wine will suffice to make Holly drunk enough for- neva mind.lol. Review!
