In the girls' bunkroom, Cinnamon was living everybody a lesson of corsets and glamour, the girls listened carefully.

"Ok, goils. I'm gonna show you'se how you do all this stuff... Chocolates come out! You're my model, doll." She called the girl that didn't want to come out. "Come on!"

"Ok, I'm here."

"Ok, these are familiar to ya. Those are her bloomer, that's her chemise. Turn around." Chocolates turned around. "We use the chemise to protect our delicate skins from the corset, the corset I'm gonna help her to put on. Am I right, Chocolates?"

"Yeah" Chocolates replied.

"So, this is the corset! This is gonna leave you with the smallest waist ever... and guys love it." Cinnamon said as she put the corset on Chocolates and started to pull the laces. "You have to do it with all your strength!"

"But...but, she's not breathing!" yelled Sparks.

"Yeah! You're killing her, too tight!" agreed Shadow.

"She's not gonna die." Interrupted Spaz, combing her hair.

"You're totally Right, Spazzy. Glamour is important"

"Well" added Empress "I'm not gonna wear a corset, I'm skinny enough. And Chocolates is skinny too, like a twig. She doesn't need that."

"Empress, dear" Chocolates corrected, "also to keep ya straight"

"Anyway, I'm not wearing that".

"Are you done yet, Cinna?" Shadow asked.

"Almost" the blonde girl answered. "We're in the last laces over here". Cinnamon finished lacing her corset and Chocolates took and deep breath. "And this is how it's done!"

"Yeah, she looks skinnier." Turtle nodded.

"That's what I call small" Bookworm agreed. "I'm next"

"So..." Sparks started.

"Yeah?" the girls wondered.

"Is that how you get a 20 inch waist and breasts that come up to yoah throat? Interesting." The rest of the girls laughed and Cinnamon interrupted.

"Not over yet! Come on Chocolates, and stop pouting. Over that goes the petticoat that gives to the skirt a fuller appearance and the camisole that protects the bodice from the corset. Put them on!" Chocolates put them on. "Now, you're ready to put your dress on."

Suddenly, somebody knocked the door. It was Jack and Gaby. Gaby came with a little suitcase to get ready with the girls. She ran to a bunk and opened it, showing an adorable pink dress that was decorated with beads. Jack asked Chocolates to come out; she put on a bathrobe and joined Jack outside to the hallway, the boy smiled at his girl and took her delicate white hands.

"Baby..." Jack called.

"Yeah?"

"There's something very important to me that I want you to wear."

"And what is it?" she asked sweetly.

"Ya know I'm Irish. Well, me momma was Irish, right?"

"You've told me that a couple of times, yeah."

"Well, this was hers". Jack took a pin out of his pocket. "It's, it's a clover. And it's made of silver and diamonds. You know, I was never able to give it to somebody besides ya. So, I really want to give it to ya tonight."

"Are you sure, Jack?"

"You deserve it. Besides, my mom and ya will always be the most important goils in me life".

"Thank you, my love. It's beautiful" She lunged herself over him and hugged him.

"You're welcome, sweet pea...Hey, yoah skinnier!"

"One word my love: Corset."

"Luv it!" Jack took her face with his hands and kissed her cheek. Then he kissed her lips softly and she kissed him back. "Now go inside and get fancy."

Jack went back to the boys' bunkroom, where they were waiting for him. They ran and asked him how things had gone.

"I bet yoah lil' lady loved it." Race assumed.

"Yeah" Crutchy agreed.

"If I could, I'd give something like that to Empress." Spot commented. The kids said the same.

"And I to Spaz"

"Sunny would love it!"

"Sparks would too"

"Hoopsy... Shoah!"

"Shadow too!"

"We got da point!"ยท Skittery said.

"You're glum and dumb taday!" somebody yelled.

"As always" Specs nodded. "Well, what happened?"

"She loved it!" Jack smiled. "My baby loved it!"

"So, why do ya look sad?" Spot asked

"Because I miss my muddah and she loved that clover..."

"Aw, Jack. I think that yoah muddah would've loved Choco!" Blink patted his back.

"Choco..." Jack sighed.

"You'se in love with that goily, huh?" Dutchy looked at Jack

"Crazy in love." He nodded.

"Ok. But don't even think of getting married, ok? Too soon" Spineshooter said.

"Don't worry. I don't want her to to be that young. We'll wait, I guess."

"Ok! One hour left, let's get ready" Race said and everybody obeyed.

The guys had gotten some suits from Medda. She knew some people that could lend them the suits and fitted them perfectly. They looked gorgeous, all of them. After dressing up and combing their hair, the boys looked like perfect gentlemen. They immediately went downstairs and waited for the girls to come out.
