Again, no owning going on. "She" is still for the lovely drag queen ladies :)
"How about this one?" Ivana asked, spinning for the group sprawled across the stores sofa. She stopped to stand still in front of the mirror, critically going over every inch of the dress. "Too purple?"
"'Too purple' is and understatement, girl," commented Amazing Grace. "Where'd you find that thing?"
"Clearance rack," Ivana said without a glance to her friend, taking no offense from the remark. "I don't really like it either." She took one last look, then returned to her dressing room.
Suddenly the next dressing room door flew open, causing the rest of them to jump.
"Ta da!" Cha-Cha sang, twirling about in a beautiful, flowing, floor length white skirt. "What'dya think?" she asked. She spun a few more times, an adorable smile lighting up her face.
Angel laughed along with the others, leaning back into the soft couch. She curled her legs up underneath her, and let her mind wander away from the store as the rest continued their clothing hunt.
She enjoyed this. Angel had never really spent time with people like Rusty and the others. Mark, Roger, Mimi…all of them were fun, but there was something about being with other drag queens those friends couldn't quite match.
Angel watched, amused, as Cha-Cha playfully modeled a few outfits for Rusty, striking several suggestive poses before bursting into laughter, ignoring the other two's teasing catcalls. Angel admired their close friendship, and Rusty's central part in it most of all. Cha-Cha, Amazing Grace, and Ivana all looked up to her, putting her opinion above the others. Putting her above the others. They all knew it, and they were all fine with it. The three younger drag queens would fall apart without her.
"Rusty!" Cha-Cha cried, pulling Angel out of her thoughts. She pointed to the white skirt resting snugly around Ivana's hips. "Ivana stole my skirt!"
"It was mine first, anyway!"
"Exactly! You're trying to steal what I've rightfully stolen."
"Well it looks better on me, girl," Ivana said, turning to look herself over in the mirror. Cha-Cha gaped. "Hey, the truth ain't easy."
"The truth ain't pretty," Amazing Grace snickered behind her hand. Ivana whipped around to face her.
"Oh really? Well you know what I think?"
"Give it back to me, Ivana!" Cha-Cha cried, unnoticed by the two arguing.
"You can think now? When'd that happen?"
"Oh!" exclaimed Ivana in exasperation.
"Give it back to me, Ivana!" Cha-Cha repeated, refusing to be ignored.
Angel tried to hide her amazement as Rusty took action right away. A minute later Cha-Cha was helping Ivana smooth out the skirts few wrinkles, then rummaged through her own pile of claimed clothes trying to find a top to go with it.
Sitting on the couch silently observing the strange shoppers, Angel found herself feeling just a little bit jealous. She wanted someone to need her like they all so clearly needed Rusty. Well, Collins needed her, but not in the way she meant.
"Angel, get over here," smiled Cha-Cha. "I want your opinion on this too." Angel grinned and hopped over, examining the outfit for Ivana that Cha-Cha and Rusty had thrown together.
Meanwhile, Collins and Mark had their small TV on in the background as they talked.
"So I came home, and Angel was bouncing off the walls."
"Like she always does," Mark commented with a chuckle.
"Yeah," agreed Collins. "But as soon as I took two steps in, I saw she had company."
Marks eyes widened. Collins rolled his.
"Not that kind of company. Come on Mark, you've met her." He laughed softly at the idea of Angel with a prostitute. Could there be such a thing? A male one, perhaps. Were there any around? Great, now I want to know..."She went to the Gay and Lesbian Center and-"
"Since when does Angel go there?"
"I don't know. I'm not even sure where it is. But anyway, she met some other drag queens there."
"Uh oh. How many?"
"Four."
Mark laughed at the thought of Collins alone with five Angels. How scary. Why hadn't he been there to see it? To film it, more like.
"They were signing up for the Flawless Contest."
"Do I want to ask?" smirked Mark.
"That's not the best part," Collins said, smiling himself. He'd thought about it the night before, and once the initial shock had worn off he'd found it quite amusing. "Guess who's been picked for the prize of their contest?"
"No..."gasped Mark, already guessing the answer. Collins nodded. "Oh my god!" Mark cried in laughter, falling onto a chair before he fell to the ground. "Oh...oh I'm so glad I lived long enough to hear this..." Marks eyes were wet with tears of mirth.
Laughter being contagious, Collins found he had to chuckle himself, waiting for his friend to finish. Finally, holding his aching side, Mark got himself under control.
"So," he asked, slightly out of breath, "what are you the prize for, exactly?"
"Basically, who's the best drag queen."
"Perfect for Angel. And you. She'll definitely win." Mark took a sip of his coffee. "Don't you think?" He set the cup down, coffee slipping over the edge to drip onto the wooden table.
"Well…" Collins started awkwardly. "I don't know..." Mark looked at him with an overly dramatic surprised look on his face.
"What is this?" Mark joked. "Losing faith in our Angel, eh?"
Collins chuckled and pulled a chair over to sit beside Mark.
"No no no. It's just that there are some who've been doing this contest scene for years. You know, get to know the judges and such."
"I see. Well, I still think she has a good chance. She's cute enough, that's for sure."
Collins raised an eyebrow and looked curiously at Mark .
"Not that I'm interested," Mark added quickly, putting his hands up in defense. "I don't swing that way."
A/N: I would like to give Miss Sam and Miss Morgan credit for helping with this story. I had a small idea, and with their help we came up with quite an interesing scenario, no? I would like to say now that most of my author notes (before and after the chapter) will be helpful for those unfamiliar with Flawless. Please read them. Another thing you should know is the Cha-Cha is played by Wilson Jermaine Heredia, who also played our loverly Angel! Hurray! Twice the cuteness in one story! My homepage has info and pics to help you guys out. I highly recommend the movie, it was halarious with him. He was the comic relief character, of course. :) Thank you for reading!
P.S-votes won't be counted until after all five have had their contest chapters up, but let me know who you're thinking of at the end of each chapter. It'll be interesting to see if your opinion changes. I assume Angel will win, since you're all RENTheads. Oh wait, what's this? A vote for Cha-Cha? DrAmA! I know we arent supposed to answer reviewers individualy, but if you wont tellI wont tell...
Tay: lol i vote litte hispanic hot cake, if only because its such a cute pet name
