A/N: This story is over, but I edited it a little bit, so it's a little different from before. I tried to add more descriptions to improve it, plus I fixed some mistakes -sweatdrop-. And another thing: When I started writing this story, I had not seen any of the anime episodes, and had only read up to the third manga volume. But now I have seen all the episodes and finished the fourth manga. Well, here's an extra humor chapter for y'all. (This was a filler chapter, which has also been edited.)
Disclaimer: If Prétear was mine, I would not have let Kei's appearance change so much from the manga to the anime.
"I am not doing this!" Mannen said, behind the door of a dressing room. He regretted Hajime and Shin's plan to sneak into the party he had wanted to go to.
"I'm sure you'll look fine." Hajime told him. The Knight of Water had a huge grin on his face.
"Aw, c'mon. Come out and let us see you!" Shin encouraged. He was interested on how the outfit that he and Hajime had chosen for the Knight of Ice.
Hesitantly, Mannen opened the door and…
He was dressed in high heels, a green flower print kimono with a black wig and sun hat.
"Why do I hafta do this?" He groaned. Mannen always called himself a grown man, but how many grown men wear the same things he is wearing right now?
"Well, some other Knights will be there, and you don't wanna be recognized, right?" Hajime said in an almost Kei-like logic.
"YOU GUYS SHOULD WEAR DISGUISES TOO!" The Knight of Ice shouted at the two cowering boys. It was not fair that he was the only one that had to dress up. The boys did not reply to Mannen's loud suggestion. They started to further his makeover.
"Well, you look good in a kimono. Besides, lots of guys wear them." Shin stuffed Mannen's chest with cotton. It was true; guys did wear kimonos from time to time. However, guys do not usually stuff their chest with cotton. Not even girls do that; they are more likely to stuff their chest with tissue. Cotton was the only thing Shin had around to use to make Mannen look like a female.
Hajime applied makeup to his face. Mannen coughed. The Knight of Ice doubted about Hajime's cosmetics skill. His hand was steady as he put eyeliner on Mannen and then lipstick, and then blush.
"Himeno helped before by letting us practice on her face." The Knight of Water told him. This bit of information did not reassure Mannen in any way. His face felt uncomfortable with the different kinds of makeup Hajime had used on him. How could some girls willingly put on makeup before they go places and wear it for the whole day? Sure, the Knight of Ice had started to take an interest in girls, but did not really notice any difference in them when they wear makeup.
"Now, let's go!" Shin said, excitedly. Right at the last minute, Hajime pulled out some blue nail polish and did Mannen's nails, carefully painting snowflakes on each finger.
They left and went downtown. Mannen felt embarrassed. Was the party really worth it? He was dressed up as a girl, yet Hajime and Shin were wearing tuxedos. Even though they all knew that the older Knights would attend the party, only Mannen had to be disguised. Shin and Hajime were too short to be noticed by them. The 3 Knights arrived at the party.
"Wow!" They were surrounded by people. Everyone was enjoying themselves; they were dancing, eating and drinking and of course, lots of people found another person to flirt with.
Mannen bumped into someone. He felt his heart beat faster. What would he do if it was Hayate, or Kei, and the older Knight recognized him? He gulped loudly and then turned around. There was a boy, probably one year older than the Knight of Ice, with blonde hair and green eyes, beaming at the disguised Mannen.
"Hey cutie, what's up?" He winked. Could it be? No. Mannen must have been imagining it. The boy did not just wink at him!
'Oh my God! He actually thinks I'm a girl? How much make up did Hajime put on me…?'
"Er, not much. How are you?" Mannen forced a smile and sweatdropped. He felt uncomfortable; he was wearing a kimono he could barely breathe in, and a random guy had just hit on him. What was he supposed to do now?
'Shin, Hajime, you guys are so dead!' He was thinking of a plan for revenge for the two young Knights. He wanted to ditch the boy, but there was too many people surrounding him, there was no way for Mannen to escape.
Shin felt a chill run down his spine. So did Hajime; they could sense that Mannen was pissed. The two boys ran., far away, leaving Mannen alone with the blonde.
I hope you enjoyed the edited version and this bonus chapter.
