(A/N: Okay, I was EXTREMELY shocked by all of the reviews I recieved for the first chapter alone... Thank you to Little Miss Lena, Kate, Bren Eldrid Bera, jewlz555, Princess Cimorene, weallmadeofstars, Lain in the Wired, bobby, and Ellectra for reviewing, it meant a lot. As for the screw up on Emma's last name, I didn't catch that when I was editting, and I apologize. I replaced the chapter with a corrected version, and hopefully it'll show up... In response to jewlz555's question, yes, I'm POSITIVE that it's my first fic, and I'm very, very surprised that so many people liked it. Once again, thank you! Unfortunately, I've been lacking inspiration lately, so this chapter is amazingly short for my usual standards... Sorry, but I hope you all enjoy!)

Ellie looked up at the clock on Ashley's wall, seeing it was only 6:00 PM. In another two hours, people would be arriving and the fun would begin. After spending the last few hours getting set up, Ellie and Ashley were both feeling a little bit more excited than they'd been a few hours ago. The CDs were ready in the stereo, snacks were set out, the main room was cleaned so that people could either move around or sit down and talk. All in all, it looked as if everything was done. Everything except the one thing Ellie had been dreading since Thursday... Her makeover. Unfortunately for her, Ashley hadn't forgotten. "Hey, now that we're done setting up, I think it's time," Ashley said, smiling as she walked into her bedroom. Grumbling, Ellie followed, plopping herself onto the bed and staring into the vanity on Ashley's wall. "Now, I've narrowed it down to three shirts and either two pairs of jeans or two skirts. Which do you prefer?" Ashley asked, opening the door concealing her closet.
"Jeans, definitely," Ellie said, watching as Ash pulled out the two pairs. One pair of jeans were dark blue flares with a sandblasted look on the thighs and cuffs. The other pair was a black hiphugger with grommets and crossties going up the sides of the legs about six inches abover the knees. "I'm thinking the black ones. The other pair is too preppy-looking. Sorry, but I'm not turning into a Miss Universe."
"Okay, black jeans it is. Now, for your shirt choices." Scrambling through her closet, Ash took out the three choices, one long-sleeved and the other two T-shirts. The long sleeved shirt was light blue with bell sleeves, accented with darker blue ribbons on the sleeves, neckline, and the hem of the shirt. Thinking that it was too warm for that, Ellie shook her head as Ash placed it back into her closet. The first T-shirt Ash showed her was camoflauge-green and low cut. The cuffs were sewn to look as if they'd been rolled up, and the ends were tied in a knot, reminding El of an outfit she once saw Britney Spears wearing.
With that last thought, she turned to Ashley and said, "No way. Not on your life." Sighing and rolling her eyes, Ash put that shirt away and shoved the last choice at Ellie.
"Since you were so picky, now you HAVE to wear this one," Ashley said. "Not that I mind. I think it'll look great on you. Now go try it on!" Looking down at it, she grimaced. It was light purple with black stripes, not her favorite color, but her only option. "Oh, and I almost forgot!" Ashely walked over to the foot of the bed and handed a pair of platform-heeled black slip-on shoes. Rolling her eyes, Ellie picked up the articles of clothing and trudged down the hallway and into the bathroom, changing quickly.
"Uh, Ash? I think you're missing part of your shirt," Ellie said, pointing to her bare shoulders. Laughing, Ash shook her head.
"It's an off-the-shoulder kind. You look great, El!" Turning to face the mirror, Ellie looked herself over. Even though she felt kind of stupid, she didn't think she looked half as bad as she imagined. "Now it's time for hair and makeup!" Sighing, Ellie walked over to the vanity and sat down in the chair in front of it. Behind her, Ashley was getting out a giant bag of cosmetics and a few things to do her hair with. A few minutes later, Ashley was behind Ellie and undoing her braided pigtails. Once all the braids were out, Ellie's hair had a wavy texture to it. Ashley grabbed a brush and combed through the auburn-colored locks, then took out a container of light purple eye shadow. "Close your eyes," Ash instructed as you put a layer of the powder over Ellie's lids. They spent the next half hour putting on more makeup, including dark purple eyeliner, pink-tinted lipgloss, mascara, and even a little blush. Looking in the mirror, Ellie could hardly believe it was her in the reflection. "So, do you like it?"
"Uh, you're not gonna believe this," Ellie began. "But, actually, I do." Laughing, they sat down on Ashley's bed and talked for the remainder of the time until the guests would arrive...
