Chapter Three
The clock tower that was in the center of the academy grounds, chimed 12 o'clock pm. It was time to get ready.
By 12:05, the girls of the DA were in the showers. They all carefully rinsed and washed themselves. They needed to be there three hours early so they can double check all of the preparations. Camille was in-charge of all foods; she had to make sure there was more when they ran out, and that they were set up nicely on the long dinner table in the main ballroom.
Tiny and AJ had to plan where everything would be, at what time. They had to make sure that by 7:30, the dining tables were cleared, and the room will be set for dancing.
Sarah was in charge of music. The DA was going to perform in the gala, of course, but another orchestra ensemble would come in afterwards. Then Singers in the DA would come back out, and perform a few winter songs for everybody. Then the ensemble would return and play for the rest of the evening.
Mari and Elli were in-charge of….everything…. They had to make sure that the guests that had tickets were invited in, and all volunteered staff were at their stations working. They also had to make sure no fights happened as well.
As each girl of the DA stepped into the living room, they were showered with compliments. Each girl picked their dress (or suit. Ehem EHEM) to match their favorite color.
Elli was the first to step down. She had a light yellow dress, it was layered, and to below her knees. It had a light pink bow wrapped around her waist, and she let her hair down (as usual).
"Awww. You look so pretty Elli!" She turned around to see AJ come downstairs.
AJ had on a similar dress. It was light yellow at the top, but orange at the bottom. She had a thin brown belt around the waist, and her hair was braided. When AJ turned around, Elli could see the slightest bit of a cutie mark tattoo on the back of her neck.
"Do you have the clipboards and headsets set up yet?" AJ asked as she sat down, looking for her bracelet.
"Yeah, I already put them in the bags" Elli said, pointing to the multi-colored bags at her feet. AJ grabbed the orange one and saw her familiar white and orange striped clipboard and grey headset.
"Thanks" AJ said, just as Camille walked up from the basement.
Camille had on a long, pink dress. It was bedazzled towards the top, and she had her hair down. As Camille walked towards them, AJ and Elli told her how pretty she looked.
"Thanks you guys" She said, picking up her bag, and pulling out her dark pink clipboard. Just then, Sarah and Tiny walked over.
Sarah had on a knee length dress. It was purple with a braided pink belt around the top. Her hair was down, and you can see her cutie mark tattoo on her ankle. Sarah already had her white headset on.
Tiny then plopped down next to Camille. She had on black skinny jeans, and a blue button up shirt. She had on a white vest, and a rainbow bowtie. She had a fedora on, but she took it off when she noticed she had to put on her head set. Hers was of course, rainbow. When she moved her arm to put it on, you could see her tattoo on her inner arm, towards the elbow.
"Aww, Am I the last one?" Marie asked as she walked out of her room. She had on a white, layered dress with purple designs on the bottom. The bottom was also lined with purple lace. (so fancy). She had her hair in a bun, and you could see her tattoo on her wrist as she bent down to pick up her silver headset.
Once Marie was set up, they headed out to the ballroom.
