Crystal: the next let's say few chapters will tell the story about the movie which means from here until maybe the next two chapters will be the movie in progress, but first we will celebrate Lovi and Feli's birthday. Note: none of the songs in the story belong to me I'm just lazy to put who they are from sometimes and second of all the birthdays are made up. Let's go on with the story
Camera, lights, action!
Arthur smiled at the others who were placing the enormous cake the bad touch trio had ordered for Lovino, and Feliciano. Alfred fixed up the drinks and Gilbert was currently hanging up the birthday poster with Ludwig while she placed the candles. 17 of them to be exact and she couldn't, but grin they were just one year near obtaining their fortune. She had wiped down her jeans and ordered them to hide and turn off the light as they heard foots steps.
They hid behind the counter and waited. Lovino opened the door and cursed. "Damn it, that Alice isn't here", Lovino huffed, she turned on the lights and everyone jumped up yelling, "Happy Birthday!" Lovino and Feliciano were extremely surprised and Lovino couldn't help, but face palm. She felt so dumb for having been startled. Antonio ran up to her hugging her tightly. "Feliz Cumpleaños, mi amor", Antonio whispered and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Lovino kissed back smiling. Ludwig had done the same to Feliciano and she hugged him tightly with a bright smile.
"Who wants cake?" Alfred beamed. Arthur chuckled. That boy really did love eating as she came to realize in the 'dates' as he so called it that he took her out to eat.
At night, Antonio led Lovino to the garden to the same place they had gone and they sat down. Antonio took out a box and handed it to Lovino, "Open it, I took my time picking this out just for you", he smiled. Lovino looked at the box and unwrapped it. She slowly opened it to reveal a gold necklace. It had a heart hanging from it encrusted in genuine diamonds. "It's beautiful Antonio", she smiled. "That's not it. Open the heart", he insisted. She blinked in confusion and did as told and gasped.
When she opened it she found a picture of her mother on one side and her father on the other side. She let the tears roll down her cheeks and threw herself in Antonio's arms. "Thank you, Antonio. This is more than I could ask for. I thought I would never get a picture of them ever. Thank you so much for everything", she sniffed lightly. He hugged her back and smiled fondly. "You deserve so much more", he whispered passing his fingers through her real hair after slipping off the wig.

"Recording day 1", the teacher clapped her hands. "Well this is it. After almost 2 years they we getting out of the academy ground to go and record a movie", Arthur told Lovino and Feliciano. They were being secluded from seeing anyone for their supposed 'female' transformation. They had lied to the teacher telling her they were also extraordinary with make-up and allusions. They arrived at a beautiful manor estate or whatever it was called. It had a large field or prairie. Of course, it looked like of the way early days, when woman were controlled by family and society like they were reborn in this generation.
The house was an enormous mansion like a person of the middle class in their generation would have. They knew that many years ago only the rich afforded these types of houses. (Note: they live in a fake future universe way passed 2013. In this day, middle class could afford mansions, and the poor class could afford normal houses. I know it's funny, but it's my ideal) You could see from afar there was a pond with ducks and their offspring surrounding them in the back of the house. There were also many apple trees, and a small boat in the edge of the pond. The house was a sand yellow sort of color or maybe a bit more yellowish. It had a porch with a swing set meant for more than one person to sit in.
~~xXXx~~
They got in the house and were surprised at various things. It was way older tech than they imagined. There was no electricity, only candles and although the beds were big and luxurious the restroom only had a bathtub. It didn't have water keys or such. The teacher led Lovino, Feliciano, and Arthur to a room so they could begin dressing into their costumes. They all sighed in relief as they removed their corsets and wigs and all the other boy stuff and were back to being female. Lovina brushed her hair with a brush she had brought along. She placed a liquid on her hair and brushed her locks softly. She busied herself curling the ends of her hair with her curling iron.
Feliciana did the same. Her character had her hair up in a ponytail, but it wasn't supposed to be messy like she liked it she had to have it tied up with small curls coming out and she grabbed her own curling iron and began to work. Alice only had to brush her hair a bit as it was naturally straight and the lucky thing is her bangs were straight in front of her forehead instead of the side like the other had. She grabbed some stands of her hair from each side of her head and tied them together to make a half ponytail.
When Lovina was done and pleased she grabbed a stand of her hair, and made a small braid she clipped to the back. (Like fem! Austria's hair style in exception that Lovina has her bangs neatly pushed up to one side and she has a curl to the side) She began to do her make up. She placed powder until her skin looked smooth and stunning. She placed a bit of blush, but very very little as she knew too well Antonio could make her blush a lot already. She then placed a light green eye shadow as that was the color of her costume. She followed placing black eye liner under her eye. She took her liquid eyeliner and placed it thinly on her top lid bringing it across and a bit passed her eye to make her eyes look bigger. She used her lash curler and curled her lashes finally placing mascara on them delicately.
She noticed Alice and Feliciana watching her intently. She chuckled after all maybe the makeup thing wasn't so much of a lie she could do extremely good makeup. She finished lightly placing red lipstick and followed by a small coat of clear lip gloss. "Wow", was all Alice could say. "Sit down I'll do you guys just like mine, but of course your costumes color", Lovina laughed. Alice's turned to be blue and so her eye shadow was blue, and her lipstick a more of a darkish pink. Feliciana was a pink dress so her eyes shadow was a mixture of pink and white and her lipstick was a coral color that fit her white skin to perfection.
"Beautiful", Alice complimented Lovina's makeup techniques. Lovina smiled pleased and went to get her dress. It was a dark silk green that when placed on it hung from her shoulders. It was tightly fit from her waist up and flowed outwardly from her waist down and was a bit below her knees. She placed on her black flats and she gave thumbs up. The others had a similar dress Alice's in blue and Feliciana's in pink. The only thing was Feliciana's had sleeves since in the movie she was suppose to be the youngest of the sisters by one year from Marissa and two years from Gwendolyn and they had to show her clear pureness more than the others.
They heard a knock on their door. "Who is it?" Lovina put her thick male voice accent. "It's Ms. Keller, may I come in?" she asked. "Uh yes", they answered in unison. The door and the teacher was in complete shock and glee. "You three look beautiful and amazing. It was lucky that you three had to no offense a very slim body like a girls and very nice curves too. I can't wait for the others to see you, but it's movie time, come on. (From this point they will be spoken to as their character)
Everyone gaped at their appearance. "So fucking sexy", they head the boys whispered, but shut their mouths as they saw Antonio, Ludwig, and Alfred with mouths open. "Que bella!" Antonio sighed dreamily. "Iggy, you look so fucking beautiful", Alfred sighed as well. "You look…a-amazing", Ludwig said sighing as well. "Now boys you look very handsome", the teacher smiled. "Okay we will begin the scene. Lights, camera, Action!"
"Wow, it feels amazing out here", Felicia (Feliciana) commented. "It always feels wonderful here", Gwendolyn (Alice) smiled at her younger sister. Marissa (Lovina) nodded walking down the steps of their house. "I say we run a bit and head to the pond", Marissa suggested smiling. Felicia nodded pulling Gwendolyn and Marissa happily. "Slow down Felicia!" Marissa laughed. Ms. Keller nodded at how good their acting was and the voices were perfectly sounding like girls. Once reaching the pond the y sat taking off their flats and dipping their feet in the pond water.
Marissa just got on the tire swing they had hanging from the tree. Gwendolyn just looked thoughtfully at one of the ducks that suddenly flew away. "Gwendolyn, are you okay?" Felicia asked sweetly. Gwendolyn looked up and said sighing, "Yes, I was just wondering. Don't you wish that you could be free? You know travel around the world singing like we've always wanted to. Be able to do what you always wanted to do and never be judged for it?". "Yeah, but it's impossible. We're too young and much more impossible because we're girls", Marissa responded with a frown. "I think we should clean our feet. Father, will be mad if he sees that we've gotten the dresses we are using for the party we're going to", Felicia said standing up and wiping her wet feet on the grass.
"Felicia, Marissa, Gwendolyn!" the girls were startled by a scream. "Oh, it's father!" Marissa panicked wiping her dress quickly and running with Gwendolyn and Felicia through the front. "Yes father", the said in unison as they entered fixing their hair. Their father was Robert Elliot Johnson (Gilbert). He was a man in his forties with a small beard and red eyes. He glared at them taping his foot impatiently. He took out his pocket watch from his coat and checked the time. "5 o'clock. Do you know what this means?" he asked angrily. Marissa looked down and mumbled, "It mean we are late to the party".
"Yes, very much true. The carriage has been outside for a long time and you were nowhere in sight", he huffed. "I'm sorry father, I was just making sure Marissa's hair was ready and Felicia found her shoes", Gwendolyn interrupted as to protect her sisters. "Very well then. As long as you look presentable", he sighed opening the door. The cameras slowly followed them as they got on the finely polished carriage being pulled by 2 brown horses. Gwendolyn sighed as she looked out the window. "Freedom", she whispered.
~~xXXx~~
Once they had set up the scene for the dinner party at another similar house. They had also gotten real woman to be in the movie to be minor female characters. They began the new scene as the makeup boy Felix placed powder on their faces to make sure the lighting filled their face correctly. "Okay action!"
Roberto got off and his daughters followed pursuit. They went on the steps of the house which was slightly bigger than their own. A woman dressed in a very elegant long blue dress reaching the floor opened the door. She looked like in her twenties. "Oh, welcome Mr. Johnson", she greeted. "Hello Marge you're looking quite splendid as always. These are my daughters the oldest, Gwendolyn, then my dear Marissa and finally my little girl Felicia", he smiled. "Oh they are fine lovely ladies", Marge smiled.
A maid came hurriedly and helped the girls and Robert with their coats and hung them. "They're in the ball room", Marge led them. They opened the hall to reveal a grandiose ball room with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling with brightly lit candles. They noticed a stage, but no one was playing music. There was only a lonely piano there and three microphones on stands. Robert led the girls to a table where three other men sat. "Ah, my good friends Franciscan (Francis), Benjamin (Russia/Ivan), and Frank (Mark/OC/the one who challenged Lovi)", Robert laughed heartily.
"Welcome Robert, so let's talk about our agreement", Benjamin smirked eyeing the girls. Marissa and Felicia got behind Gwendolyn scared of the man's face. "Ah, yes in good time. I'd like to show you what talents they have", he whispered to the men. He turned to his daughters and said. "Go on Mr. Benjamin was very polite in letting you girls perform a song here. Go on up the guest look very anxious for some music", Robert inquired them. The girls were a bit hesitant and walked up to the stage. "So how much am I getting?" Robert asked. "A very good deal amount, Mr. Johnson. We know how you've lost almost all of your wealth because of your gambling. We'll make sure to stay rich, but the amount will keep you rich for the rest of your life if this performance pleases us", Franciscan interrupted with a sly grin.
Robert nodded in anxiety to receive all the money. Suddenly he heard the playing of the piano and he looked up to see Marissa playing it so gracefully. "Very exquisite fingers she has", Frank smiled. "Yes indeed that one plays a variety of almost 10 different instruments not to mention her voice is incredible very much more than Gwendolyn the eldest. Gwendolyn has a very beautiful voice as well, but her forte is the piano. She's very skilled more than Marissa. Her voice is very pleasing none the less. As for my youngest, she has the voice of an angel as well and plays instruments the others don't really play like the accordion and the flute", Robert explained with detail.
"Hands over my head thinking what else could go wrong", Felicia sang softly into the microphone. "Would of stayed in bead. How can a day be so long?" Gwendolyn sang softly into the mic. "Ever believe that things happen for a reason, but how this turned out removed all my doubt so believe, that for you I'd do it all over for you, for you", they sang together finishing the song.
They received a tremendous amount of clapping from the guest as the four men in the back sealed their agreement. "Let's go home girls", Robert said standing up pleased. "Already?" Gwendolyn said surprised. "We only came for a while that's why I had been very impatient when you three were late to get ready", Robert smiled leading them out for the carriage.
"AND CUT", Ms. Keller yelled clapping her hands. "Wonderful job. Splendid just splendid", the teacher beamed. "Great job boys tomorrow morning we shall continue for now it's time to head for the academy you must be exhausted", the teacher smiled. Arthur nodded feeling sleep reaching his eyelids. Alfred came up to her and kissed her softly. There was a flash and Francis smirked. "You frog!" Arthur yelled , but she didn't mind the picture. Maybe once she graduated she could place it in her album.
On the ride home Antonio and Lovino talked having finally gone back to dressing like guys and so was Feliciano and Ludwig. She couldn't help, but sigh. No one had noticed it , but when she had whispered "freedom", in the carriage that hadn't been part of the play at all. She had let it slip by accident because that's what she and Lovino and Feliciano desired most of all.
"What's wrong Iggy?" Alfred asked poking her cheek. She looked up startled and said, "Uh…nothing I'm just tired, love". Alfred didn't looked convince, but decided to leave it alone for the time being. When she looked down who couldn't help not know and so he hugged her by the waist and asked her , "I know you're not okay so tell me now', he said a bit sternly , but she could clearly hear his worry. She suddenly burst into tears.
"I'm sorry I was rude, iggy. Don't cry", Alfred said feeling guilty. "No it's not you, love. It's just life is so unfair. I'm not free. I'm put under the expectations of society. I want to be free like woman use to be. They use to have a saying before, they were allowed to vote and they could be whatever they wanted to be. Now what? We're back to being under the control of men", Arthur cried. The others had stopped crying to listen making sure that the teacher had the window in their section of the private jet closed. Lovino and Feliciano listened sadly as they too were being held closely by their boyfriends. Alfred didn't have an idea on how to handle his sweet Alice. None of the boys had any experience with girls since they completely grew up with boys.
They had even been assigned wives without their consent, but they were glad that their wedding was to be considered cancelled that is if they never found or caught the girls that ran away. So Alfred, just hugged her tightly against him in hope that she would eventually calm down. So that's how much the girls suffered, huh? He thought to himself.
Crystal: well Al and the others are realizing how much girls suffer…good for them
