"Um, the reason I'm here..."
"Say no more dahlink!" said Edna as she pressed a few more buttons. Immediately, a wall parted, revealing E's testing area. After it opened, mannequin came to the center of the area.
"I have developed a new fabric which should react to your powers more comfortably, wile still maintaining its indestructability...
"Well, actually... That's not why I'm here..."
"Of course not!" interrupted E seamlessly as she pressed more buttons "It's clear a young lady such as yourself want's to step out on her own." Immediately, a holographic display came up showing Violet's uniform. "based on your current design, I would at least keep the current color scheme with respect to your family. As for disguises, I would suggest translucent goggles. I voudent use sunglasses because of the dark..."
"Um, actually, no. I came here for your OTHER work."
At this, Edna froze. "My other vork?" she said nervously. Violet nodded.
Edna continued nervously. "Dear, do your parents know about this?"
"Well, they don't know I'm here..."
"It's just that this is so unusual for one just entering the field, ezpecially one your age."
Violet was confused. What was she talking about?
Edna continued. "You must understand, after the supers went under, my major client base vas gone. I had to diversify into a different field. It is nothing I am completely proud of, but it helps reflect my talent. Frankly, I'm surprised you're even aware..."
"But I read your article in the paper..."
"It vas in the paper?"
"Yes. The show in Italy, where you won that award?"
"Avard..." she said with a brief pause.
"Yes, for that fashion show..."
"Zat's vot you were talking about..."
"Um, yes..."
After a few seconds, Edna broke into relieved laughter "You vanted a REGULAR dress! Oh dahlink, I thought... You meant my OTHER other job! Vot you must think of me..!" she said as she wiped a tear from her eye.
What Violet ACTUALLY thought of her, she wisely kept to herself.
After a few seconds she resumed. "So vot is zis occasion?"
She told her about her date with Tony, and how she couldn't find a rental. "I had read that you were one of the best, especially after you won that trophy..."
"Mere baubles dahlink!" Edna interrupted. "My true passion has always been for ze godz"
Violet felt a bit uncomfortable being referred to as a god, but she continued.
"Well, I need something for tomorrow, and I was wondering if there was something I could borrow..."
"I may have something from my vinter collection that's just your size..."
I am willing to pay what I can, if that's not enough, I can work on the weekends or after school..."
"I vill not even heal of eet dahlink!" said Edna. "Do you not think I vas not young and in love too? As long as you have it returned the next day, that would be fine."
"Oh thank you!" Said Violet as she kissed her on the forehead.
At this, Edna blushed. "Unfortunately, that dress is in my boutique downtown, but I think I have a picture of it zomvhere..." she said as she started typing on a keyboard.
"Ms. Mode, your 4:30 appointment is here." said a voice on the intercom.
"Acht! I had forgotten all about zat! Tell you vat. Stop by my place tomorrow afternoon, und I vill have one of my guards give eet to you!"
"Thank you Miss, um I mean E!" Violet said as Edna lead her out.
