3. Was That A Feather Boa I Saw?
Greetings my fellow readers, MisstiqueRose here! Welcome to Chapter 3 of A Little Orange Dress! :D Time to get this party started! :D
Charlotte P.O.V
After an intensive giggling session, it was time to watch our victims, I mean guests, get ready for the party. Focusing the camera using a joystick (which only succeeded in causing more hysteric giggling) we watched on the main monitor as Bryan and Shrimp who were in the middle of wrestling on another flicked their heads around at the sound of the opening door and grinned maliciously as the Bladebreakers cautiously attempted to make their way in as silently as possible. What were they expecting, an ambush?
Unfortunately that was exactly what they got, whether they were expecting it or not. Hey that rhymed! I almost laughed as the Bladebreakers were ushered in all packed tightly together in between Bryan and Shrimp. They were herded like sheep to the base of the stairs, and looked up as Spencer appeared at the top with armfuls of clothes. The Bladebreakers wore expressions of confusion on their faces, even Kai, one of Tala's closest friends, had no idea what was going. It was pretty funny seeing Kai 'Mr I'm-perfect-and-I-know-it' so confused he was actually showing it in his deep, mysterious garnet eyes… Okay, so I might like him… a little… Don't judge me! We've gotten along pretty well since the Russians abducted us for a Titanic-inspired science experiment, but that's another story.
"Alright Bladebreakers!" Spencer's voice echoed all throughout the house so loudly we could hear him here! "Do you remember when you agreed to come along to the party that we asked you what you would like to wear if it were a costume party?" They all nodded slowly, and Nate and I grinned at one another - we knew what was coming. "Well," Spencer continued, a smile creeping up onto his face and I could see the pit of dread opening up in the Bladebreakers. "We sourced all the costumes you requested!" He chucked down heaping handfuls of clothes to each of the Bladebreakers, I think he threw a feather boa at Kai, (I snickered and pointed to it on the screen,
"What the hell did Kai ask for?" Nate shrugged because she hadn't really been listening to Kai when he'd requested something,
"I dunno, caba-something."
"Cabaret?"
"Yeah that's the one!" I burst out laughing. This was going so to be blackmail worthy!)
Rei didn't really seem to mind much (what he was tossed wasn't all that different to what he was wearing), Tyson grinned, Kenny just shrugged, and Hilary actually looked rather excited, Daichi seemed offended but it was Max and Kai who had me and Nate in more hysterics. Max was chucked a schoolgirl's outfit – plaid skirt, cute shoes, a bow, white shirt (there may or may not have been a bra in there… They better not have raided my underwear again, the bastards!) Funnily enough he seemed pretty happy which his stuff and ran off to go try it on. Kai on the other hand was fuming silently – he got a dress, a full on red dress that had a split up the side right up to mid-thigh (they had me try it on so I know that it does) with a pair of black heels, the black feather boa as well as some elbow length black gloves.
A few other accessories later and the Bladebreakers had all run off to go try on their outfits, all bar Kai who was seething. "I am NOT wearing this! I'll look ridiculous!" Bryan grinned maliciously having just received his own costume; or at least what I assume what his costume was, it was a bundle of pink, glitter and ruffles… dear God what did he ask for?
"C'mon man, for Tala!" Kai glared at him unamused.
"That's even more of a reason NOT to! I'm not dressing up unless that pyscho is too!"At that moment Tala skipped into the hall and I swear to God they must've heard us laughing from our bunker. Tala came out in a pretty orange pinafore, little white undershirt with ruffled sleeves, long white socks with little orange matching shoes, fairy wings and a little tiara. His hair was done up in pretty little pigtails with orange ribbons and I think he had make-up on… Yet he didn't look embarrassed in the slightest, in fact, he was really enjoying himself. And you have reached a whole new level of scariness, Tala. He skipped over to Kai throwing glitter in the air every couple of steps before grinning that familiar wolfish grin.
("What's going on?" Nate asked, zooming the camera in to focus on them.
"Tala's got something planned, and it's gunna be big…" I whispered back with a grin leaning closer to the screen excitedly.)
"I'm a better cross-dresser than you!"
"Oooh burn," Nate commented and Kai definitely felt it – I'd only been told half the story about his cross-dressing antics but apparently he was really good, which was disturbing on a number of levels. Kai definitely was not taking this insult lightly.
"No you're not!"
"Yes, I am! I'm the Tango Fairy of Russia! You can't beat me!" Kai snarled viciously before smirking and saying something that made my blood run cold.
"Fine, Charlotte's here right? We'll get her to decide!" My eyes widened and I turned to Nate who mirrored my fearful expression.
"Houston, we may have a problem."
