Prompt: "The picture in the advertisement had lied."
Pairing: Cinder & Thorne
"You've got to be kidding me."
Cinder turned to face him, and Thorne tried desperately to hold back a laugh as he took in her appearance. The picture in the advertisement had lied. Her dress was ridiculous.
"You're…stunning…Your Maj—" He burst out laughing. This was priceless. It would go down in the history of pricelessness.
Hands on her hips, she gave him death stares while he whipped out his portscreen. "Smile for Kai!"
Cinder did not smile. Instead, she decided that this was an opportune time to punch him, because the next moment he found himself gasping for air as she knocked the wind out of him with her titanium fist.
"Not—fair!" he said, clutching at his side.
"You picked this dress! This is your fault!"
"Cinder, I'm offended on so many levels. As if I would pick that…thing. This is clearly the wrong dress. Maybe they messed up the order."
"I look like a five-year-old clown."
Thorne stifled another laugh, afraid of her hitting him again. "Let's comm the store. I'm sure they can send a replacement."
"Better yet, ask for a replacement friend who won't pick ridiculous outfits for me because he claims his fashion sense is so great and I've been too 'sheltered in grease' for my whole life. Or did I not quote you correctly on that?"
"So I made a mistake on this one," he said weakly, but then brightened. "Can I at least still get to pick out the tiara some day?"
