OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSHHHHHHHHH- It's midnight... welll... 12:23 a.m. as I'm typing this. ITS FRIGGIN CHRISTMAS! YESSSSS! :D
Enjoy this short little chapter.
Muahaha.
I glanced around and saw Maya and the other guy smiling at me. "Alright dear," Maya said, "We're here to pick out something for you."
I nodded slightly and walked up to Maya, "What exactly are we going to be picking out for me?..." I asked, taking a quick look at all the dresses near the back of the room, "Dress or… casual?"
"Dress, naturally… I'm afraid that you and raven are going to have to match… which is going to be quite the challenge. Your appearance contrasts hers…"
"What do you mean by that?" I inquired.
"Well…" She said cautiously, "You have lighter hair, while hers is much darker. Her eyes are green, while yours are blue. It's going to be difficult to find a style that fits both of you."
The man beside Maya, Claude I think was his name, smiled and nodded, edging closer to the dark skinned woman before me. "Which color do you believe would fit them well? Do we have a theme planned?"
She shook her head, "I believe that we are just going to wing it here… I would like for the girls to look as innocent and… young as possible. Maybe almost… serene. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Claude nodded and grinned, "Of course…" He ran off to the rack that held the majority of the dresses that they had planned, "Are we going for… fictional beauty?"
Maya shook her head, "No. I want them to look like they came out of a story book… all the while looking like themselves." She smiled, "That is a brilliant idea…. I can't believe I came up with that!" She let out a deep breath, "And I have just the dresses for them…" She ran over to where Claude was standing and flipped through the dresses, "Where is it… where is it…"
I stood awkwardly around for a while, praying that they hadn't forgotten me. Whistling to myself the majority of the time, I spun around in a spinney chair I had found in the corner. Oh, how many ways could I find to distract myself…
After a while of occupying myself in different ways, my two personal helpers pulled me into a dressing room. "We need you too dress into a few of these dresses, and tell us which fit best, where they squeeze or sag… and which one you like the best."
I nodded as the door swung shut, and I quickly turned the lock. Taking a deep breath, I look glanced at the 15 or so dresses I had to try on.
One after one, I did so. The first dress was absolutely hideous on me… though I must say that I look good in black. Second dress was no better, and was extremely revealing in places that I didn't want it to be. The same types of problems happened I the rest of the dresses. Number 8 clung to my back for dear life, threating to fall off at any moment. Number 4 squeezed my chest and my butt, so that one was a no-go, and the problems rolled on did the dresses.
Finally, I got to the last one. I had high hopes for this one, and prayed that it would actually look alright on me. I didn't even look at the dress before I pulled it on myself.
In simple, human words…. It was the most epic-amazing-incredible-beautiful-splendid-didIalreadysayEPIC-prettiest dress I had ever seen in my life.
It was almost strapless, tied around my neck with only a thin blue ribbon. The dress itself was white and blue, white being the base color and blue fluttering around the edges of it. Beautiful patterns laced the edges and bottom, and some beautiful gold trimming was the icing on the cake. The figure of the dress was perfect for me, and I beamed. I felt like I was on one of those lame wedding shows… 'Say Yes to the Dress' I believe was the name of one that would fit into this category.
Yes, I was indescribably happy to find the dress that would sway the Districts to either let me live or die… Hm…
I still loved the dress.
I walked out of the dressing room, trying (But utterly failing) not to look as happy as I felt about his dress. Maya gasped and put a hand to her mouth, her jaw falling down. "That… looks absolutely beautiful!" She said breathlessly, smiling wider then I thought was possible. "It's amazing!"
Claude nodded in agreement and I spun for them, even though they didn't ask. Both of them clapped in bewilderment, and Maya did the finishing touches on the dress. She then took me into yet ANOTHER ROOM, and grabbed an eyeliner pencil and sequins.
The dress had a type of shine to it, so Maya decided to play off of that and make me look like a fairy tale character. She quickly outlined my eyes with incredible speed, and then added some sparkly mascara to my eye lashes. The put the sequins around the edges of my eyes, making them look like still teardrops. She placed some light makeup on my face and put three sets of earrings on my ears.
Don't worry reader. She used clip on ones, since my ears are not pierced. MAGNETIC clip ons, amazingly enough.
When she finished with that, she took a
curling wand and started to curl my hair into beautiful ringlets, and letting them skim my shoulder blades. My side bangs were swept to the side, and my hair seemed to glow in the light.
After they had done prepping, they let me have a full view of myself in a mirror.
Let me tell you this… I looked as if I had walked out of a story book. I looked like the blue fairy, only blue and white. And 50 times more awesome.
Maya smiled at me and I giggled softly. I couldn't help it, I just had to. It was one of those moments that make you flash back to your childhood where all you wanted to be was a princess. And in this moment… I couldn't think of anyone else but my little sister Cassie. What would she think when she saw her older sister in such a pretty costume?
What would she think when she saw me brutally murdered?
No, I had to shake those types of thoughts out of my head. Maya had me slip on some white flats and walked me out the door. "Let's go see what Raven looks like!" She squealed.
I nodded and we walked into Raven's room, prep room number 4.
Sorry this was so short, guys! I just... just typed it, actually. I just wanted to give you all something for Christmas! :D I hope you all liked it... and leave some comments about what you think Raven should be dressed in.
Alright, well... R&R! Seriously. Review. Please. If you like me, review. If you really hope that I don't get mac-and-cheese syndrome... reveiw.
Makes no sence, right? Well, I'm running on laganza and sprite. And a tangerine.
