Chapter 19(Reagan)
After Madison's shocking revelation we had gotten closer. We had always been close, but we both had our secrets. Now all cards were on the table. It's funny how things can change people. Before the clue hunt dating an Ekat would be unthinkable, but now it doesn't matter.
"I'm not coming out!" Madison hollered from her room. It was the day of the dance and, if my plan worked, by the end of it we would both have boyfriends. Now we were changing into our dresses and Madison refused to come out and show me.
"I'm sure you look great!" I shouted back.
"Yeah right! I look like an idiot!" she yelled back.
"Since when did you care about looks?"
"I don't!" she answered defenceive.
"Then come out and show me!"
"No!"
"I'm your twin! If you can't show me then how are you going to let Ned see you? Besides I need time to do your makeup!" I reasoned.
"You really think I'm that ugly? That you're going to need that much time!" she sounded worried.
"No, I think you're beautiful and Ned does too! But I need time to do both of our make up! I want to look good too you know!"
"Then do yours first! I'll come out when you're done!" I could hear the smerk in her voice.
"No! Just come out!" I said stoubernly.
"No!"
I rolled my eyes. Why did everything have to be so dificult? I quickly went back to my room and grabed a nail file. It unlocked Maddi's door in a matter of seconds.
I gasped, my sister looked amazeing in her dress! It was a strapless soft blue with a bow at her side. The dress came down to her knees, and had a bit of beading at the top, but not too much. It was the perfect dress for her. "Oh, stop stairing! I know it looks aweful! Why did you pick this?" she wined.
"Because it looks amazeing!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah right!"
"Just come in my room and I'll do the rest!" I'm excited! I mean I never get to do this stuff with my sister, and I wasn't going to waist the opportunity. She is going to look fabulus! The different styles ran through my head as we scurried to my room.
"Okay, what now?" she asked looking a little lost.
"Now you sit on my bed while I do your hair and makeup," I explained. "Don't worry, you'll look great."
"I'm just not into this girly stuff so..." she trailed off.
"You may not be girly, but you're still a girl. So you have the right to get dressed up, look nice, and go have fun once in a wile!" I said putting on her foundation.
"Haveing to go fake a break up with a guy who doesn't even know you like him, and not fall flat on your face because you're wearing heels for the first time in your life! Yeah that sounds like fun!" she said with scarcsum.
I started puting on her lip gloss, mostly to get her to stop being so negitive. I wanted her to think I'm 100% positive this plan will work, but honestly I'm not. "It's going to be fine! Like I said, by the end of the night we will be dateing the Starling brothers for real!"
As soon as I was done with the lip gloss she started speaking again, "Well that's a no brainer for you! We know he likes you! You two were cought kissing!"
"So were you!" I argued, starting to work on her eyes. I had decided to go with a light dusting of a grey eyeshadow.
"I told you, he ment to kiss my cheek and missed!"
I moved on to her hair, "Maddi just calm down, the plan will work."
"You're plan is good, but it all pivots on one point! If he really does like me!" she said almost calm, almost.
"Well all plans have to pivot there! The point of the plan is to get him to forgive you for that little argument, and admit to likeing you!" I reminded her.
"But what if he doesn't?"
"Then you're too good for him," I reasured her.
It was so strainge. She didn't say anything else while I was working, just staired at the floor. I didn't really mind, it was easyer to work on her intracit up do in scilence. "Okay, done," I said steping back to take a look, I had done a good job.
"Can I look in the miror yet?" she asked turning to look at me.
"Yep, I'm all done now!"
She stood up and went to the myror that took up my entire closet door. Her mouth droped. "Rea?"
"Yeah?" a smile slowly spread across my lips.
"What's wrong with your miror? There is no way on Earth that's me! I'm not that pretty!" she smiled and looked over at me.
"Now for the finishing touch," I said comeing over to her. "Close your eyes."
"I thought you said you were done?" she asked.
"Just close your eyes!" I snaped. Didn't she trust me?
"Fine," she crossed her arms and closed her eyes.
I reached in my pocket and pulled out the one thing that Madison would kill me for putting on her. Gliter. But I that's a risk I had to take, I knew it would be the cherry on top. It was a specal hair gliter that I boarowed from ballet. I took the lid off and shook it over her head. It didn't just land on her hair, it sworled around her and covered everything in a light dusting. I thought for a second that I had put too much on, but when I looked again it was perfect.
"Okay, open your eyes."
"What? Why did you put glitter on me?" Madison shreaked as she looked in the myror.
"Before you freak out more! Look in the myror again, but this time pretend it isn't you. Pretend it's some other girl at the dance, now what do you think?" I tried to get her to see the method to my maddness, and covering Madison Holt in sparkils is deffently madness.
The paused before answering to look again. "She looks like the kind of girl I hate. The kind that's popular, and gets all the guys..." she trailed off. "I look amazeing, I just don't look like me."
"That is not true! Look, bright blue eyes, thoes are still the same. Blond hair, same. Your own kind of beauty, still there. You still look exactly like Madison Holt, just dressed up a bit," I smiled.
She looked at me and slowly smiled, "I guess you're right."
"Besides, if Ned breaks up with you tonight he's ether gay or blind."
"Now it's your turn, let's see your dress!" she said.
"Gladly," and I shoved her out with a strickt warning not to mess up her hair.
I put on my dress and looked in the myror to make sure it was on right, like my sister, I didn't wear dresses often. Well, besides ballet. I loved my dress. It was all black and came just above my knees. It had a ballet like skirt, but wasn't a tutu or anything. All in all, I looked good in it.
"Okay come in!" I called. Madison, who I suspect was waiting right outside the door, came in .
"Wow, you look great," she said.
"Not done yet," I said then started to put my makeup on. It was simple and close to Maddi's, but not exactly. Then I started to work on my hair, that was the hard part. I decided on a messy braided style. Something that was a lot trickyer then expected, but in the end it came out okay.
"Girls! Ned and Ted are here!" I heard Mom call. Maddi and me shaired a worried look, then marched down to meet them. One way or another, this is going to be a night to remember.
A/N: The links to the dresses are on my profile. Also this has not been spell checked! It wasn't working so I put it up anyway, I thought you guys would want another chap more then the spelling to be perfect (not that it ever has been). And I just want to say thank you to all of you who have reviewed and read this story! I work hard on it and I'm glad you enjoy it! Review please!
