Chapter 4: This is Definitely New.
Cassie woke up slowly. There were trees on her left, and a field on her right. She blinked once to clear her head and wake up, then slowly sat up. She looked down at herself and saw an entirely new outfit. She had a long dress on. The under dress was a nice silver color with rather expensive looking fabric, with a velvet light blue overdress. It was a nice dress, but dresses were so not even an option for her. She had brown traveling shoes on...Which she deemed a good thing considering the lack of paved roads in the area. She saw the others nearby and poked sherry awake. It turned out that she wasn't the only one who received a wardrobe change. "Sheeeeerry... uppensy uppensy time..." Cassie poked Sherry hard to wake her up. "No... I don't want to wake up. It's not time for school. Lemme alone," Sherry mumbled in her sleep as she swatted Cassie's hand away. "Sherry! Someone's gonna steal the robot!" Sherry quickly sat up in a panic, "What? Who? I'll murder them!" Sabrina woke up with a start as well, "OMG what?" she yelled as she jumped to her feet. "NO stay AWAY from my wires!!!" She looked around hoping to find some perpetrator. Then she noticed the fields and trees. "Uhm... something is wrong with this picture..." Sherry said out loud. She then looked at Cassie... "What are you wearing?" she asked her. "I'll ask you the same question. This is an evil dress that I'm stuck in and I don't know why...though I think I can date it to middle ages in style... so I'd say we're either rejects from a ren faire, or something big has just happened..." Sherry looked to herself and noticed that she too was wearing something different. Though, not what she was hoping to be wearing. Sherry saw herself in a long dress with long sleeves, which stretched out to a point and wrapped around her middle finger. It was a beautiful midnight blue color, but regardless it was still a dress. Sherry abhorred dresses but this one beat the cake. Mostly because it was a low, square cut on the front and had intricate lacing up the back. Sherry later moaned a loud protest "Goddamn!" because she was wearing a corset. Sherry vowed that she would kill whoever put her in that damn outfit. When Sabrina tried to jump up however, to attack whoever was stealing the precious and endangering her precious wires, she noticed that it was a difficult task and proceeded to fall flat on her back. The others laughed and didn't help her up cause they're so mean to her. Finally she managed to stand up and looked aghast at herself. She looked down and was surprised to find that she was wearing a dress instead of her swimsuit. It was a satin navy blue dress, which reached to her feet. Cut squarely at the neck and was trimmed in silver lace (but not really lace) stuff. The sleeves were white and billowing and were ruffed at the wrist. "Oh my God where am I and what am I wearing?" she exclaimed as she looked around. "And where is Nata!!??" Suddenly a look of remembrance crossed her face, and she clutched at her throat and wrist. She breathed a sigh of relief when her searching hands touched what she was looking for, a shiny silver chain necklace and a silver bracelet. The others looked at her strangely and she could feel her face begin to heat up. The only faces that weren't staring at her were Nata and Pyro's faces. She looked around for them and, grateful for a change in subject, asked, "Hey! Has anyone seen Nata and Pyro?" Sherry was staring at the little freshman, but upon Sabrina's inquiry she spoke up to say, "Uhm... now that you mention it, where are they?" But Sherry had her own troubles, as she could not find her tool kit. "Damnit!" she swore to herself. Cassie had wandered into the trees, while the other two complained about their outfits. She wanted to scout the area, see what was up, that kinda thing. So she did. So far she had come up with nothing, but then again, she hadn't traveled very far... The girls then heard struggling in the trees. "NO! You can't make me show up in this!" "You look fine!" said an exasperated voice. "Oh god! There are voices here! And they're not in my head... I don't think so at least." Sherry randomly burst out as she turned to Cassie to ask her if she could hear them too. "IT'S A DRESS IM NOT COMING OUT! LET ME GO!" "SO?! IM WEARIN TIGHTS! GUYS DON'T WEAR FREAKING TIGHTS!" Just then Pyro came into view dragging Renata by the hand. He was stronger than she was and so won the struggle and dragged her into view. Pyro was wearing a typical hunting outfit with a red shirt underneath the black vest and was indeed wearing black tights. Renata was wearing a navy dress that's scrunched up a bit in the waist and elbows. Along with Renata, Pyro was dragging what appeared to be a backpack. "Oh...there you are Nata, we were loo..." her speech was cut off when she looked up at Nata. Renata glared at Sabrina and then at Pyro for making her come out of the trees. She felt she was going to strangle someone. "Listen, you look fine, I promise. Would I lie to you...Nightcrawler?" Renata looked at Pyro then said promptly, "Yes." "Ok fine. But I promise you really do look fine. At least you fit in. You're not a blue fuzzy..." Renata sat down and covered her face with her hands. "The minute we get to town I'm getting something fit for myself." Pyro nodded and
agreed as he strapped the backpack on. "Yeah I agree. This is a nice dress, but I can hardly walk," said Sabrina Everyone else woke up from their time in sleepy sleepy land and examined their outfits. No one seemed pleased with what they were wearing, but none of them could do much about it anyway. Everyone was still pretty confused about what had happened. There seemed to be no actual reason for any of this to have happened. Though, an adventure is an adventure, no?
