Ares'sBestLittleTaunter: That's kinda creepy. I had NO IDEA there was an actual place called Chinese Buffet. That's a sorta lame name. I just felt like being obvious when I put that, like I said, my brain didn't feel like being creative...Anywho, thanks for R&R!

This chappy is dedicated to my contest winner, Niomia!
"Well, lets go 'make-you-up!" Silena said.
"Um, school doesn't start until Monday, sis," Piper said.
"Well, yeah, but we need to know what we're doing. Come on!" She said. A smile was plastered on my face.
We all stumbled into Silena's (huge) bathroom. Everything was white or pink. Pink walls, pink toilet cover, pink border around her (huge) mirror, pink rug, pink shower curtain, five pink high-chairs that sat in front of the counter of the sink, white tiles, white sink, white john, white polka dots on the shower curtain, white shower, everything.
Silena rushed over to her sink and opened the cabinet to produce two large bags. She ushered all of us to pull up a chair and take a seat around me. Silena sat her bag on the sink counter and unzipped the zipper to uncover tons of various makeup products.
"Okay, so, where do we wanna start?" She asked no one in particular. We remained silent.
"You're the makeup artist. Where do you think we should start?" Piper asked.
She nodded. "Foundation."
"Please don't make me look like a cake face," I said pleadingly. She brushed aside my comment.
She opened the small container and brushed over its top gently with a fuzzy-pad-thing, then dabbed it onto my face. It felt smooth and a little sticky, but I could barely tell it was there. Then she brushed on some powdery stuff, which stuck to the first thing she put on.
"There!" She said happily. "You can barely tell it." She turned to Piper and Thalia, and they nodded their heads in approval. But when I turned my head to look in the mirror, Silena stuck out her hand and thrust my face back towards her.
"Nuh-uh, no looking until I'm done," she said, waving her finger in my face like she would a two year old. I rolled my eyes, but abided by what she said.
"What next?" I sighed. Silena stuck her hand into her purse and pulled out various colors of shading.
"Eye shadow!" She said. "What color should I use?" She pondered. She began holding up the eye shadow next to my face, and muttering stuff like 'this might work...ugh, this is disgusting...'
Then she jumped a little in her seat, scaring the Hades out of the rest of us.
"This is the perfect shade of grey for your eyes! Eek!" She squealed. I smiled a teeny tiny bit. It feels good to be one of those teenagers that put makeup on all the time.
Not that I'd ever start doing that. I still find this disgusting.
She took out a clean swab-looking thing and scraped it into the grey shadow, then I closed my eyes as she lightly brushed it onto my eyelid.
"That looks, A-MA-ZING!" She exclaimed. Piper cracked a smile.
"Now for some eyeliner..." she mumbled as she searched her large bag. "Aha! You thought you could hide from me, didn't you?" She said, talking to the pencil. I furrowed my eyebrows. I really didn't want to be driving anybody to a mental hospital this late at night.
She took the cap off and put some on the rim of my eyelid, top and bottom. "And then just a hit of mascara.." She mumbled, as she did so. She cocked an eyebrow. "Do you want blush?" She asked. I shook my head. I'd like to keep the makeup to a minimum. "Didn't think so," she sighed. "Now for some lip gloss, then the makeup part will be done!" She said. She brought out many different shades of pink, going from snow white to blood red. I picked one of the pinks that were lighter than most of them. Silena sighed, shook her head, but used the one I chose.
When she was done, she turned my head towards Thalia and Piper. Both of their eyes bulged, while smiling. "She doesn't even look like Annabeth, never mind Jez," Thalia commented. Piper nodded her head in agreement.
"Can I look now?" I whined at Silena. She nodded.
Now, it wasn't that I didn't trust what Silena did to my face, but I was a little scared. What if I looked like one of the cake faces that I normally hate? What if I looked terrible? What if-
But then my eyes landed on the mirror.
Figures.
I looked like a goddess.
My eyes widened at myself. You could just barely see the makeup, yet I looked like a totally different person. Silena is professional when it comes to this type of thing, obviously.
"Wow," was the very intelligent thing I chose to say next. I turned to Silena. "I look amazing!" I exclaimed.
"Oh, I know," she said. "You don't have to thank me."
"Thank you!" I said anyway. She smiled.
Then she opened up the next bag.
I honestly wanted to puke.
"No," I said, grabbing my hair. "I let you do makeup, but I am not putting on a wig!"
She looked to me with pleading eyes. "Please?"
"No," I said firmly.
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
She sighed, seeing that I won't crack. Hehe. I won.
"At least let my put a few streaks in it?" She continued to beg.
I pondered this for a moment.
"Ugh, fine. Whatever," I mumbled. She smiled,
"Eek!" She squealed. "Okay, what colors, what colors...Ooh! What about one grey streak? It will symbolize your wiseness and such. And then one green, and a red, then a blue. Plus a few brown highlights. Perfect!"
She put some of the dye on her hands and began rubbing it through a few chunks of hair. When she stopped doing that, she rolled up my hair into a hairnet and told me not to mess with it for a half hour.
"Then you can rinse it out," she said as she washed her multi-colored hands. When she got off as much as she was going to, she took her phone and did what I suspected was timing it for the thirty minutes I had to wait. I looked in the mirror and muffled a laugh. I looked ridiculous. When I looked to Thalia and Piper, they looked like if they did as much as twitched a finger they would die of laughter.
"It's okay to let it out, guys."
Then I got another headache from all the noise.
***A Half Hour Later***
We were in the middle of talking about the school I'll be going to, what it's like, what the students are like, and other stuff when Silena's phone started beeping extremely loud. We all jumped and covered our ears as Silena reached over to cut it off.
Silena guided my head into the sink and took the hideous hairnet off. Then she cut on the sink water to warm and began washing my hair, obviously trying not to mess up my makeup.
Once all of the excess dye was out, she towel dried my hair some, then got out a hair-dryer. After about ten minutes of that, my hair was completely dry and back to its curly self.
I looked in the mirror, and what I found was definantly not Annabeth Chase or Jez Falcon.
My makeup was still spotless and perfect, even after washing and drying my hair, which was still curly and half-blonde. The other half was either grey, red, blue, green, or brown. One streak that was on the right side of my face was the grey one. Two more were blue, also on the right side. There was one red in the back of my head, two on the left, a blue on the left, a green on the right, a green in the back, then two on my left. The brown highlights were scattered amongst all of them.
I gasped.
I looked...amazing.
Again.
"Do you like it?" Silena asked hopefully.
"I..love it!" I said honestly. I could live without the makeup, but at least no one would ever guess I was Jez Falcon.
I held out my arms and embraced Silena in a friendly hug.
"Thank you so much!" I said.
"One more thing," Piper said. I released Silena and turned to Piper. She walked back into Silena's room and looked through one of her desk drawers. She came back hold a purple case. I looked back to see a smiling Silena.
"What?" I asked. She opened the case to reveal a beautiful pair of silver glasses.
"They have no prescription," Silena said. "I used to play with them when I was little. They just have clear lenses, so you'll be able to see, and still be even more unrecognizable."
I took the glasses that were in Pipers open hand and slipped them on.
Everything looks as if there was nothing in the frame. When I looked to the mirror, I was positive I was looking at a whole different person. Silena handed me a hair tie, and I put my hair up in a messy ponytail, then topped it off with my fedora.
"Wow," was the only word that escaped my mouth. I smiled.
"Alright, now who the hek are you, and what the Hades have you done with my best friend?" Thalia asked playfully. My smile widened.
"Okay, so Monday morning, you take a shower, get dressed, have breakfast, all of that good stuff, then come over here a half hour before school so I can do your makeup. I'll drive you to and from school, back here, then you can hang out, do what ever, and go home back in your car. Sound like a plan?" Silena asked. I nodded. "Good. Now. who's up for a classic game of 'Truth or Dare?"
Man, I have got to stop with this!
So, did you like? Love? Hate? What? TELL ME!
Did you like Annie's new look?
And, for the riddle I gave you before, only two people got it right. What you have to do is take it apart, phrase by phrase, to make sense of it.
Four men are on a boat on a lake. {Makes sense, right?}
The boat tips over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake. {Still making sense...}
HOWEVER, not a single man got wet. {Here we are. That part doesn't make sense...AND YET IT DOES!}
*Ahem* Read carefully.
Not a single man got wet.
Not a single man got wet.
Not a single man got wet.
Not a single man got wet.
Not a SINGLE man got wet.
Get it? No? Alright, if you don't I'll just say it.
ALL FOUR OF THE MEN WERE EITHER married OR in a relationship. Get it now?
Now would be the time when you go 'Oooooh, I get it now!'
Omgs, if that's exactly what you did after you read that, review and tell me!
Also, if you happened to be reading this whole AN, review and say PEACHES!
Hehe. That was what she had to say when the baby was coming in ice age three. Hehe.
Next contest is for the 25th reviewer! When I have a winner, I will update!
Sorry for any spelling/grammar/ooc mistakes.
