So this story is much different than my usual work. It was a request from someone else. I hope it`s enjoyable.
The street lights of Amity Park were all lit up as night had fallen over the sky several hours ago and a dark and shadowy figure has come out to play.
The figure went through many houses using the dreams of others to entertain herself. She was currently in a fancy house visiting the dream of a certain goth known as Sam Manson.
"My goodness, she's got some dark and depressing dreams. Who would want to be buried alive in a cemetery?" The dark figure giggled evilly.
"I wonder how you'd like to be in someone else's dream?" The dark figure asked herself as she raised her long and sharp shadow covered finger as she cast her ghostly magic.
Sam's dream's suddenly took a weird change as she found herself in a castle. She noticed the figure of the one responsible for the change of scenery.
"Who are you?"
The figure was that of a tall woman that was shaped by black shadows hugging her tight elegant hourglass figure. Her face was pure white with red eyes and a black tiara on her head. She carried herself with pride and elegance as if she were royalty.
"You may call me Siestina and I am the Duchess of Dreams." The figure politely introduced herself.
"So you have power over dreams? That sounds a lot like Nocturn." Sam wondered who this ghost before her might be.
"It's unsurprising you'd say that. He is my Elder Brother afterall." Siestina said as if it were common knowledge.
'So that explains it. But what's she after? If she's anything like her brother than she'd be out to conquer the world and rule the land of dream's.'
Siestina laughed which surprised Sam. "On no my dear. I have no interest in world domination."
"Wait I didn't say that out loud."
"Reading people's thoughts is an ability of mine. Now as for what I want?" Siestina giggled mischievously and pushed Sam back into a dark abyss.
Sam screamed in terror as she fell through the darkness until finally it all stopped. She opened her eyes and looked around cautiously noticing she was in some kind of mansion she decided to explore.
After sometime of exploring Sam found a flight of stairs cascading downwards and decided to head that way.
As she she found her way downstairs she was horrified by the scenery. This would have been a little fun for her if the mansion was dark, creepy, and unkempt but it was far from it.
Everything was shiny and sparkly and in pristine condition. The tables were sparkling and lined with gems. Furniture was bright colored. And the lighting was nearly hurting her eyes.
Sam's view eventually fell on a peculiar sight. Many students from her school were gathered around a throne and as she looked up she saw a certain someone that she couldn't tolerate one bit.
The most popular girl in Casper High. Paulina Sanchez.
Sam slowly walked up and was eventually noticed by Paulina who's face instantly contorted into a scowl.
"What is filth like you doing here?" Her voice was laced with venom.
Sam shrugged nonchalantly. "Looking for a way out. You think I actually want to be here?"
Paulina's scowl turned into a twisted smirk upon the response. "Let me help you with that." As she says that Paulina points her finger towards Sam letting out a pink magic like beam at the goth.
A few moments later the cocky smirk turned into a surprised look for just a moment and then back to the annoyed scowl once more.
"You seem to be immune to my power for some reason. That's annoying."
Paulina thought for a second on the matter at hand of having this annoying trespasser who refused to disappear.
"Alright fine. If your gonna stay in my kingdom then you have to act the part."
After saying that Paulina created five clones of herself with her magic.
"Alright Girl's. This gloomer needs to be pruned."
The clones advanced towards Sam's location, they all wore the same arrogant and condescending smirk that just drove Sam insane with annoyance and irritation.
"As if I would let you do that." Sam got into a fighting stance intent on defending herself.
The two clones on the far left and right showed off their athletic prowess by front flipping in order to quickly and effectively get behind Sam's position rendering the goth surrounded.
With two clones on her front sides and one more directly in front of her Sam knew she had no where to run so she charged directly ahead towards the center clone who responded by charging forward as well.
As soon as the clone got within ten feet of Sam she front flipped onto her hands and lunged herself over Sam's left shoulder, as her body passed by the goth her arms caught the goths neck and she forced Sam down to the ground locking her in a choke hold.
As Sam squirmed and struggled to get loose two more Clones ran forward to bind her legs and the other two bound her arms.
The main Paulina watched it all from her thrown with a smirk.
"I've always wondered what it'd be like to give you a makeover, we're about to find out now."
As she said that one clone grabbed Sam's top half and another grabbed her bottom half and they proceeded to carry her off with the other three clones leading the way.
Sometime Later
The clones had taken Sam to another part of the mansion, One of the clones opened the door leading to their destination and in no time Sam was thrown into a tanning booth and locked inside.
"Let me out of here! My skin can`t be exposed to artificial light for more than thirty minutes a day! THIS IS GOTH ABUSE!"
Sam screamed and shouted and flailed as she tried to kick open the tanning booth but to no avail.
After sometime the tanning booth finally opened and Sam tumbled to the ground. Her vision was blurry and she felt a strange and unwelcomed warmth throughout her body.
Meanwhile all the Paulina clones were gathered around and judging her appearance with visibly uncertain looks.
"It`s a start I guess." One of the clones finally spoke and shrugged as the other clones nodded in agreement
Sam`s vision finally returned and she looked down at her arms. She was immediately horrified by what she saw.
"You monsters. What have done to me?" She asked in horror and shock.
"We just freshened up that gross vampire flesh that you call skin. Your welcome." A clone in the left corner near the door answered.
"Now lets get you some new clothes. Darling you look like your mother wrapped you in a carpet and called it good." Another clone to the right spoke.
And with that the clones dragged her along somewhere else. They opened the door and as if traveling to another dimension in a split second they were outside of a clothing store. The store was bright and flashy with a lot of it looking pink and white. Sam`s jaw dropped as she looked at the girly eyesore that stood before her.
"NO! Don`t make me go in there!" Sam started to flail again but it was useless as the two clones had a firm grip on her and led the goth inside of the clothing store.
When everyone of them was inside, they quickly went to the back of the store where the changing booths were stationed. The two clones who had carried Sam there stayed behind while the other three traversed the store in search of outfits.
More time passed and soon the clones all came back with various jewelry, clothes, and accessories.
Sam was held by the shoulders on eachside by the two clones holding her hostage while the others all approached with the flashy clothing in hand, mischievous smirks lit up their perfectly polished and manicured faces as they approached once again.
"Stay away from me with those ugly designer boots!" Sam screamed in a panic.
The clones all ripped off her black clothes and started to slip on all of the new clothes.
In time they had finished and brought Sam to the mirror. She looked at herself and went into shock at what she saw.
She was wearing a pink fuzzy long sleeve top with a white skirt that was firmly strapped to her lower half with a tight belt. White high heels choked her ankles and strangled her feet making her wish they just chopped them off at this point. On closer inspection one would find that she was also wearing heart shaped earrings and a golden pendant around her neck, golden bracelets lined her wrists leading up to her hands and furthermore to her nails which were painted with pink nail polish. The clones also took the time to do her makeup as now one could see that she was wearing pink lipstick, mascara, and violet eyeshadow.
The clones bickered and whispered among themselves while also admiring her new looks. After that they all seemed to agree on what's next and grabbed Sam yet again.
"Where are you freaks taking me now?" She asked annoyed but got no response.
Eventually the clones had made it to a hair salon and dragged the goth inside where they forced her into the chair. The clones all gathered around with various salon related items. One had a hair dryer, another a curling iron, as well as a hair crimper, some scissors, and spray bottle of water and some shampoo.
"That drab hairstyle needs to go next." The center clone spoke as they all began to work on the disaster that sat before them.
If anyone where in the store they would be able to hear a mix of Sam`s screams along with the sound of a hair dryer, scissors cutting up her hair, and other absurd noises.
When they were all done they turned Sam around to face the mirror. At this point she didn`t even have an extreme external reaction as she was just mentally exhausted from all the resistance she had put up until now, but still her eye twitched as she tried to cope with the next stage in her makeover.
Parts of her hair were slicked backwards leading to the back of her head which was tied in a drooping ponytail where several extensions leading downwards could be seen dangling.
The clones pulled her out of the chair and one grabbed a bottle of perfume and gave her few light sprits while another draped a white purse over her shoulder and a third opened a pair of sunglasses and set them on her head.
"You look the part." One clone spoke. "Now you need to act the part." And another finished her sentence as they once again carried Sam off to another location.
Sam noticed that they were in a mall now and many of Paulina`s friends or at least clones of her friends were all gathered around watching intently.
"Now you need to learn to walk in those heels so hop to it." The clones set her free and stared at her expectantly.
Sam just looked at them with a look that screamed Are you serious.
"Need some motivation? Fine." The clone in the middle snapped her fingers and a thick metallic collar appeared around Sam`s neck.
"What the? What is this?" Sam frantically tried to pull the collar off but after a few seconds a shock was sent through her body.
"Ow! What the heck?!"
"The rehabilitation collar will send you a shock every time you misbehave." The center clone spoke again with a smug tone.
Sam`s face contorted into a look of mild annoyance and anger but it did nothing to wipe the smug grin off the apparent leader of the clones who simply stared back with a cocky grin.
"Now start walking!" The cocky expression broke as she demanded Sam`s compliance.
"Ouch!" Another shock hit Sam causing her to grumble in annoyance and turn around.
She started walking and after a few steps collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
"HAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA!"
The five clones as well as all the spectators burst into laughing as they watched Sam fumble around on the ground trying to get up and balance herself.
After five laps around the mall Sam had finally gotten the hang of walking in heels and stopped in front of the clones.
"Good. Now for your next lesson. Faking a smile at all times." The clone to the near right of the center clone spoke and Sam`s vision immediately darkened.
When her vision came to she was on a stage with many angry looking people holding all sorts of fruits and other foods.
"You must keep smiling no matter what!" An intercom speaker came on and Sam looked up noticing the large size of the dark and red room they were in. It was like a combination of a movie theater and a talent show stage. She further noticed that the Paulina clones were all standing in a backroom with a large window where anyone could look up and see them.
In the next moment one of the angry spectators threw a tomato at her.
"Hey!" Sam shouted in anger only to have the collar shock her again.
"Remember now. You must smile." The intercom sounded off again.
Sam rolled her eyes and was promptly pelted with a few apples and shocked afterwards to add insult to injury.
Sensing only further pain and humiliation ahead Sam stretched her lips and jawline forcing herself to smile against her mood. Another tomato impacted her, right in the face this time. Although it was hard for her she managed to keep smiling even as she started to be pelted by food.
Time seemed to stand still alongside Sam herself who wanted nothing more than for it to all come to an end.
Much to her lack of relief the activity finally ended and she stood victorious with a forced smile. The clones all disappeared from the back room and reappeared before her.
"That was good. Next is learning to charm a man." The clone to the near left of the center clone was next to mention an activity and before Sam knew it they were back in the mall and right before her stood none other than Dash Baxter.
"Hey there beautiful. What brings you here?" Dash spoke with a dreamy expression.
Sam felt like she could barf at being approached like this. "Go choke on a jockstrap. Ow!" She spoke in annoyance and disgust only to be shocked again.
"Why don`t you try again. You`ll never score any guys with that attitude." The same clone on the left of the group spoke again.
Sam grumbled in annoyance before putting a smile similar to the one she had before on and approached Dash.
"Oh you know, just wanted to see the handsomest stud in Casper high." She spoke teasingly as she traced little circles in his chest with her finger.
"Oh she`s pretty good at this one." The center clone whispered to the clone on her left.
Once she was done with Dash the clones had Sam flirt with Danny, Tucker, Kwan, and a few other random students.
The clones approached once again and this time the Clone to the far right spoke up. "Now you must learn to pose like a beauty." As if to emphasize her point the clone thrust her hips forward while putting one hand on her hip and the other behind her head which she held up elegantly.
'Oh god. When is this gonna end.' Sam thought to herself.
The location they were in shifted in an instant and next thing Sam knew she was in a studio. A green screen and a camera were set up and Sam was in between the two while the clones were behind the Camera ready to take some pictures.
"Ok now. Start posing for the camera pretty girl." The same Paulina clone that had taken it upon herself to show Sam how to do it had stepped up to the Camera.
Sam had a defiant scowl as she crossed her arms.
"Ow!" The collar went off again as the Paulina clone had a knowing smirk.
After a few seconds Sam finally gave in and did a pose.
She leaned forward sticking her butt out and letting her chest hang down while she put a finger to her chin and held an innocent expression. The clone took a picture.
Next Sam leaned back up and tilted her head to the side stroking her long ponytail and allowing her finger to run through it while her right hand rested on her hips. Another photo was taken.
And then Sam opted to follow the Paulina`s pose from earlier raising one arm up and putting it behind her head while she put a hand on her hip.
"Perfect." The clone spoke admirably as she snapped a picture.
They took about ten more photos and finally decided to move on to the last step.
Before Sam could think they brought her to another room and she was in front of a vanity mirror while she was left in her bra and panties.
"Now you need to do it yourself. Show us what you have learned." The clone to the far left spoke.
"I think she`s ready to do it without the collar." The center clone stated and promptly phased off the collar.
Sam noticed her clothes were on the left side of the room and the clothes the Paulina`s chose for her on the right side. Her hair was back to normal and a bunch of makeup and accessories accompanied the vanity mirror.
The girl seemed conflicted at this point on what to do and stood there in absolute uncertainty for a good long minute.
Finally she made a choice. Sam walked over to the frilly clothes on the right and started off by slipping the pink top over her head and putting it on. Next she pulled the skirt up and grabbed her belt pulling it through each loophole in the skirts top part and then firmly fastening it so it hugged her waist tightly. She sat down for a moment and undid the clip on the left heel before slipping it onto her foot and tightening the clip once more and repeating the process with the right heel. After that she stood and walked over to the mirror where all of her jewelry was and took a seat at the glamor station.
Sam put on some mascara and tried a puffy looking makeup brush first, the brush had a undesirable effect as the mascara smeared a little. Sam sighed and grabbed a bottle of makeup remover and a napkin to use it. She then removed the mascara and tried again. Sam reapplied it and this time chose a thinner brush that was less puffy and it seemed to spread around her eyes better this time. After that she grabbed some lipstick and opened it up. She brought it to her lips and looked in the mirror as her lips took on an unnaturally bright shade of pink before finally popping her lips out once very briefly and setting the lipstick down.
Sam turned her attention towards her hair and grabbed a comb. She ran the comb through her hair ensuring that she got every rat and loop out of it until it was smooth and straight. Next Sam grabbed a hairbrush that had many bristles and a wooden handle. She brushed her hair from up to down several times and then set it down. Sam grabbed some extensions that started black but as they went down they gradually took a shade of pink. She started adding the them to her hair until they finally lined up around her entire head. After that she grabbed her hair and bunched it all together in one hand before grabbing a pink hair tie and pulling it through her hair and forming a ponytail that went down to her midsection. Sam noticed a few loose hairs and decided to cut them off with scissors. Content with her hair Sam slipped her bracelets on and put her pendant back on and then she grabbed some nail polish. Sam held out her hand in a feminine way as she started to paint her nails pink, she did the same to her other hand afterwards. Finally she looked over her appearance and grabbed her purse and sunglasses before she turned to the Paulina`s.
For the first time during their session together the Paulina`s were all genuinely impressed and had admiring smiles on their faces.
"Your ready."
In no time the clones escorted Sam back to the original Paulina.
Paulina sat on her thrown with a distant expression while all of her followers admired her perfection. The clones returned much to her intrigue.
"I would like to present to you... The new and improved Sam Manson." The center clone which lead the squad stepped forward and moved her body and arms towards her rear side to welcome Sam as if she were a game show contestant.
Sam elegantly stepped forward placing one heel in front of the other and finally stopping before the queen.
Paulina leaned forward and held a hand to her jaw as she looked at Sam.
Seconds seemed eternal as everyone waited for the queen`s reaction.
Said reaction came as Paulina started giggling.
"You`ve outdone yourselves. But is that really a surprise considering your clones of me?" She asked rhetorically.
Her gaze fell upon Sam once again.
"I like the new you... I`m gonna let you be my new friend." Before Sam could even react to the news Paulina snapped her fingers and the clones lifted her up while another opened a glass cage. The clones tossed her in and Sam panicked. She tried to reach the door before it closed but the clones quickly shut it.
Sam started to bang on the glass and scream but from the outside it was all soundproof. Everyone turned to her and started taking pictures while admiring her.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Sam shot out of bed with sweat dripping from her face. She looked around and sighed in relief when she saw that she was in her room.
"It was all a dream. Thankyou for not being real you freaky clones."
Sam`s face scrunched up again though as another thought ran by her.
'But I have a feeling that ghost was real... Siestina.' Sam recalled the one who seemed to put her in Paulina`s dream in the first place.
The next day at school
Sam trudged into school with a drowsy look as she barely slept after the nightmare she had. Her eyelids were heavy and she felt gloomier than usual. She made it to her locker and Danny and Tucker were already there.
"Sam. How are you doing?" A familiar voice that she could not stand to hear made it`s appearance in the form of Paulina approaching her.
"Would you just go away already." Sam turned around as she spoke and promptly covered her mouth as she let out a Latina accent that seemed similar to Paulina`s.
Paulina raised her arms defensively but had a carefree smile that contrasted the action as she just went about her own business.
"What was that about?" Danny asked bewildered by the accent.
"It`s nothing don`t worry about it." Sam said in her normal tone as she opened her locker.
And that`s the end of the story. I don`t have much to say right now so hope you guys enjoyed it.
