I watched as Rtaia shifted to human, my butterflies making me unable to do anything else. Tonight was the dance, and after a Friday like I had, I was more nervous than I'd ever been in my life.

Running around, keeping myself out of sight of anyone I knew. And let me tell you, it wasn't easy.

And now, I was watching a Chanaiben shift. Her tail slurped back into the spine, and her cat-like ears shrunk a little, rounding out to become human ones. An extra finger appeared on each hand, and her rubbery aqua skin softened and turned a creamy colour.

It calmed my mind only a little.

Soon, Rtaia was fully human, clothes and all. She turned her baby blue eyes on me, her white-blond hair swishing gently with her head movement.

"Shall we… leave?"

SLAM!

"Jaade! Are you home?" I heard mum call from downstairs. I went to my door, opening it an inch.

"Yeah! But me and Rally will be leaving soon!"

"Who's Rally!"

"Just a friend!" I shut the door and grabbed my bag and my dress from my closet. I saw Rtaia reach in her bag and pulled out a white flowing dress with pink flowers over it. Thankfully, it was a made of a material that wouldn't crimple.

And it would suit her perfectly.

"Wow. Nice. Amanda really thought ahead, didn't she?" I was unable to suppress a grin. That dress was really pretty. I was almost… jealous.

"Yes. It appears so" Rtaia muttered, her eyes glazing over her dress for an instant, before slinging it over her arm and grabbing up her bag.

"Are you prepared?"

"Yeah, I am. Lets go" I opened my door with my free hand, and Rtaia followed me out and down the stairs.

"So, this is Rally" mum said from her place on the lounge. She was holding a very upset-looking Phoebe.

"Yeah. Listen mum, we gotta run. I'll make sure we've got pictures for you, all right?"

"All right. Have fun dear!" She called after us.

"We will!" we went out the door, heading straight for Rachel's house.

After all, she was the only one that knew a thing about makeup and dresses.

Plus, she'd come and hunt us down if we didn't go.

I slapped Rachel's hand away. Hadn't she done enough?

"Jade, stop it. This is for your own good!"

"Right" I looked over at Rtaia and Cassie. Cassie was in a beautiful cream dress, and was all made up. So was Rtaia. And they both looked stunning.

I sighed, then continued to let her do something to my eyes. Some kind of eyeliner or whatever.

It took her another half an hour before she actually finished my makeup and hair. My hair was in some kind of style I'd never be able to duplicate, and my face… well, my face was so not mine.

I looked like a freakin Barbie doll!

Finally, came the dress. It was lavender, and silk.

"Come look!" Rachel suddenly dragged me over to the full-length mirror in my room. I just stared at the sight that greeted me.

The dress clung in all the right places, and the makeup and hairdo really worked well with it. I watched as Rachel added on the jewellery, and I gaped.

"See? Told you it'd look good!"

"Uhhh…. huh"

"Now, get over there. It's my turn to get pretty"

And then, an hour and a half later, we left.

It felt like a lifetime to me.
