Part 16

Friday is the day of the rave... the rave is obviously going to be rave-a-licious... or rave-a-tastic... or COMPLETLEY GROOVE-A-LICIOUS TO THE 3RD POWER!!! yeah... I think you get my point.... so... around 7:00 p.m. J.T walks Erica to Emma's house so she can get a ride with Emma to the rave from Chris's older cousin... Before she steps inside the house, she promises J.T that she will not hook-up with anyone and that all she will do is dance... if anything violent happeneds, it's because someone hit her first and that she defened herself....She tells J.T that she loves him and then he kisses her really quick before she goes inside...

When Erica gets inside of Emma's house... she is introduced to Emma's Mom...

"Hi, Erica... I'm Mrs. Nelson-Simpson... But you can call me Spike..." says Spike

"Cool Nickname..." Erica says, "Where's Mr. Simpson?"

"He's upstairs sleeping.. this chemo thing has really been getting him down lately..."

"I'm really sorry... Tell Mr. Simpson that I send best wishes for him.. he's a really wicked teacher..."

"Thanks Alot, Erica, I'll be sure to send him your message."

Emma calls for her mom, asking if Erica arrived yet... her mom yells back downstairs saying that Erica is here... And so thats when Erica walks downstairs with her bag...

"whats in the bag?" askes Emma

"Our... Wardrobe..." says Erica, " and our make-up... See back in New York and Maryland, We would wear colors that go with the black-lights and glow sticks or what not and it wasn't just the outfit that had to go with the lights... our make-up did also..."

"wow... I usually wear pastels..."

"So what I got for you... hopefully you'll be able to walk in these white go-go boots..." she pulls out these 3-inch high, knee high white go-go boots, "with this black skirt... and this Sublime shirt" she says while pulling out the skirt and the Sublime shirt... and laying it out on her bed

Emma is stunned, " and what are you wearing...?"

Erica forms a grin on her face, " well, since I dyed my hair blue... I wearing my blue net stockings with with my blue high top chucks my denim skirt and this tank top that I designed in New York..." she shows Emma the tank top that she made, which looks like a strech blue tank top with the tie up thingy... and on it she wrote lyrics to the song "12:51" by The Strokes with a sliver pen

"Now why do I have to wear the complicated shoes?"

"Because... Behind this innocent girl is a go-go girl waiting to party... The boots go perfectly with the outfit that I planned out for you... Just wait until I do your make-up"

"Can't wait... but who's Sublime?"

"Geez woman.. you know nothing... Sublime is one of the best groups on this planet... especially in the 90's... I will have to fill you in later... " she gets outs her make-up kit(which is only used for Raves and not every day life), " Okay... so I Know you are going to freak when I tell you what I want to do for your make-up.. but when you look in the mirror when I am done... you will be amazed..."

"Before you tell me what you are going to do with my face.. tell me what you are going to do with your face..." she sits down looking at the makeup kit with all sorts of colors of the rainbow...

"Blue eye liner, blue eye shadow, blue lipstick, a dash of sparkles on the cheek..."

Emma is amazed by this girls sense of style.... and she can't wait to see what Erica has instore for her, "and me?"

"white.. wait, black eye liner, white eye shadow, and white lipstick... with a dash of sparkles on the cheeks..."

"there's white lipstick??? Won't it come out clear?"

"Not the stuff that I have.. It'll come beautifully white...."

"well then, lets get started!"

So they put on the clothes that Erica planned out for them... and look in the mirror... "ugh, I've got to do something with my hair" says Erica, so she put it in two small ponytails with strand of hair hanging down the front.. and some of her hair hanging down in the back... Emma deicides to curl her hair outwards for that more of a go-go girl look. When they finish doing their hair and putting on their outfit.. Erica starts to do her make-up.. then does Emma's... After the finish product.. Everything clashes and looks very punk-rock sexy...With a hint of rave Glam... When they go upstairs... Emma's mom wants to take pictures...

"Aww... you guys look so hott..." says Spike, "I'm sorry Em, But I have got to take pictures"

"I don't mind, " says Erica, "These pictures will get out my design. I designed this shirt and this skirt."

"Okay then. Mom, take the pictures" says Emma

So Emma mom takes pictures while Emma and Erica do all these poses... until they hear a car horn beep...

"Thats for us mom. We will be back around 12:30. 1:00 at the latest. Tell dad that I love him.." says Emma

"you girls behave yourselves. And have fun you guys look great"says Spike

"Thanks Mrs. Nelson... you take care" says Erica

They get in the car where Chris and his cousin sits in the front... Chris compliments them on their outfit.. And then they are on their way to the rave....
