The days seemed to fly by as Jessie tended to the shop the usual smile she had seemed to be dimming as each day she stopped by Olette's locker slowly walking away to the front area kneeling down to unlock the shutter the sun barely peeking out from the other buildings the countdown that was placed in the center read that the contest would be held in two days the square was filled with kids running around in different costumes some dressed as fairies a few other kids were dressed as Seifer the leader of the so-called disciplinary committee "I wonder what Olette is going to be dressed as" she spoke aloud as she leaned on her elbow propping herself up with her hand.

"The room was painted with a simple orange as the small girl sat trying to finish her costume stopping only to gain a deep breath looking over at the picture of her and Jessie on the first day she was hired as she stared a small tear rolled down her cheek.

"Noisy" the deadpan voice came from outside as Fuu stood near her window drawing Olette to open her window "Annoying" she spoke placing her finger at Olette's forehead "Move" she pushed the brunette to the side taking the needle taking the seat quickly sowing through the different fabric.

"Fuu, Thank you" she whispered as she moved on to picking out earrings. The two continued to went about working as Fuu looked to the picture her hand slowly brushing the hair to revile both her eyes the two seemed to work through the night the next day came with everybody preparing the stage in the sandlot the struggle committee still setting up the lights as well the stage seemed to teem with less scare and more as if set up for a small party the crew worked all day with the sun seeming to fall past the city skyscraper the clock tower pointed toward eleven O'clock the Accessory shop closed as the last light inside was flicked off Jessie seemed to stare at the front entrance slowly walking past the sandlot.

"Done" Fuu answered holding a black and navy blue, high-collared halter top, a black corset with two pairs of white laces and black shorts with two pink straps intersecting over her chest and white bell-sleeves.

"It looks amazing" Olette shouted holding it up to the light.

"Cute" Fuu whispered moving toward the window as Olette hugged her from behind.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Seifer that you helped me" she giggled letting Fuu slide out of the window as Rai came running by shouting her name as he ran past her.

"Idiot" she sighed looking at Olette who gave her a sympathetic smile.

"Fuu there you are I was worried ya know" Rai shouted rounding the corner stopping to catch his breath "You okay your pretty red ya know" he asked drawing Fuu's attention from Olette.

"Ruined" she answered flicking Rai's forehead before walking off.

"What did I do ya know" he asked looking at Olette who shrugged "anyway, hope you're ready to lose the contest tomorrow my costume can't be beat ya know' he shouted pointing his finger at her this prompting her to shoot a rubber band at the same spot Fuu flicked him in.

"Throwing a sheet over your head is not going to win anything" Olette responded closing her window on a shocked Rai.

"Wait Fuu, I think I need help with my costume" he shouted jogging off after her.

Olette sat looking over the outfit her room still dimmed by the star light she kept on her desk glancing over to the other pictures that lined her desk picking up the one closest to the light the picture showed a younger Olette and Fuu sitting among a flower bed Olette sat behind hugging Fuu "Tomorrow" she shouted setting the picture down before walking to her closet.

"Your costume really was a sheet" Seifer shouted laughing at Rai along with Vivi the young man tossing his sheet to the side.

"No, I was just trying to get you laugh" he joked sitting back on the stage "Anyway what are you going as" he asked trying to change the subject.

"I not entering, I don't need to win such a small contest to prove I'm the best" Seifer boasted bringing his thumb to his chest "But you kiddies have fun" he finished leaning back against the wall unaware of Fuu glaring at him from his side.
