Thanks to Nausicaa of the Spirits and Random Little Writer for reviewing chapter eight! And for your great contribution, you deserve a cookie! But unfortunately, cookies aren't transmittable by internet. Enough with my rambling and on with the story!
It was the day of the pageant and Lady Tottington was a nervous wreck. She was all jittery and she would snap at anything. One time, when one of the rabbits rubbed up against her leg, she yelled, "GET AWAY FROM ME! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M A TOTAL NERVOUS WRECK?!" The bunny's eyes got big and it hopped away frightened.
She got her stuff together and headed to the church, the place where the pageant was being held. She got to the church and went to the dressing room where other competitors were getting prepared. Lady Tottington sat down and let out a depressed sigh.
"What's the matter, girl?" asked a tall, brown haired woman.
"Oh, I just got into a fight with one of my friends last," Lady Tottington replied. "They tried to tell me that my trainer, Constantine Menzel, is really my ex-boyfriend."
"Constantine Menzel?" asked another woman from across the room. "That's rich!" Everyone focused on her. She had long, thick raven hair and extremely fair skin. She stood up and walked over to Lady Tottington. "That's the name of a character Victor Quartermaine played in the school play in Year Ten. I should know… I'm his sister… Adele Quartermaine." She extended her arm. Lady Tottington shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you." Lady Tottington said.
"You must be Lady Campanula Tottington." Adele said. "Because you were the only girlfriend Victor had." She laughed.
"So how do I get Victor to tell the truth?" Lady Tottington asked.
"I know just the thing…" Adele said, with a twinkle in her eye.
Meanwhile, in the audience, Wallace and Gromit were waiting for the pageant to start.
"I hope Lady Tottington finds out before it's too late." Wallace said.
Gromit nodded in agreement. Just then, a drum roll started, meaning the pageant was about to start.
What's Adele's plan? Find out in the next chapter of "The Miss Cheesy Pageant"! Oh, yeah! Please perform the second "R" by reviewing and I'll send ya'all another cookie!
