Hello. I'm so sorry that I haven't updated. My updates seem to get longer and longer. I hope it's okay with all of you guys. I'll try to make each chapter better and better and update faster. Enjoy this chapter! Review!
Note:
Reyna is in CHB and not in Camp Jupiter. She is there momentarily because it is set after HoH and before BoO. Just to clear things up :)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything mentioned except for the plot of this fanfic.
Leo's POV
Tonight was the night. We were finally going to have dinner together. It wasn't somewhere fancy. It was still in camp but everyone helped out in the preparations. I was in my cabin. I was clueless about everything, what to wear, what to say. I'm usually cool and collected but Reyna just takes away all of that.
I grabbed my comb and tried brushing my hair. It wasn't any use. I looked so unlike myself. I thought to myself. Reyna likes me for who I am so I shouldn't try to be someone I'm not.
I ran my fingers through my hair until I had a tousled kind of look. I was wearing a pair of dark, dressy jeans and a polo. I decided on wearing converse instead of some formal kind of shoes. I grabbed my tool belt and put it on.
I looked in the mirror. I hoped I looked good enough for Reyna. She deserved only the best and I wished I could give it to her.
Reyna's POV
I was looking through my closet. I couldn't find anything I liked. I did something I never did before. I walked to the Aphrodite cabin and knocked on the door.
Piper answered it. "Yes?"
"Piper, I need some help."
"Sure, what do you need?"
"I need a makeover. I'm going to have dinner with Leo and I want to look nice."
"No problemo. I suggest we do it in your room because well knowing my cabinmates, they tend to get a bit crazy."
"Crazy is a bit of an understatement." Piper laughed. I'll get some things ready and I'll head back to your cabin. Just wait a bit."
"Okay, thanks!"
"You're welcome!" I walked back to my temporary cabin and waited. About 5 minutes later, Piper arrived with a bunch of stuff.
"We do makeup, hair, then clothes."
"Okay. Work your magic, Piper."
Makeup
(I know all these things from Bethany Mota. I do not wear makeup because I'm 12.)
~oOo~
Piper grabbed a BB cream and put a bit on my face. She set it with some powder and added a bit of concealer to cover my blemishes and eyebags. She got a bit of eyeshadow, it was a shimmery gold color and she added a bit to my lids. She took out a bit of black eyeliner and swiped it on my eyes. She winged each side.
"I won't add any mascara on you because your lashes are long enough."
"Okay." I replied.
She grabbed a coral colored blush and dabbed a bit on the apples of cheeks. Lastly, she took out a tinted lip-gloss and decided it would be better than lipstick. It was a natural colored lip-gloss which tasted like cherries.
"I'm done with your makeup!" She told me. "You can't see it until I'm done with your hair and clothes though."
"Fine."
"It's light and it won't draw the attention off of your natural beauty."
"Thanks Piper." I understood why Jason liked her. She was sweet and also very strong. I started liking her too.
Hair
~oOo~
"Okay, Reyna. Here, I'm giving you a choice. Would you rather have a braid or do you want your hair down?"
"Well, I guess I'll try something new. You can style my hair any way you like."
"I'll braid it but let's try something new." She took a piece of hair from the side of my head and braided it like normal. She clipped it to the back of my head. She did the same with the other side. It was very plain and very simple I thought to myself.
"It's a simple look but it brings out your eyes and your other features." She told me.
Clothes
~oOo~
"Now for the last part of your makeover, your outfit. I already picked out a dress and shoes for you but if you want I can find something else."
"Let's see what you have." She brought out an indigo colored dress. The skirt part of the dress had lace on the bottom. It was a sleeveless dress and it fell just above her knees. It was perfect for her body because it fit perfectly on her.
"Put this on." I went inside the bathroom, making sure not to look at the mirror. I peeled my clothes off and put on the new ones. I walked back out.
"You look gorgeous."
"Thanks Piper." I smiled, and not just those forced smiles I usually give. I gave her a sincere smile.
"One more thing, you need shoes and if you want some accessories. For shoes, I got you these." She grabbed a pair of silver sandals. It had a heel but only a 1/2 inch one.
"You don't need a higher heel because you are already really tall." I slid on the sandals.
"Lastly, your jewelry. You don't need much but all you should probably wear is some earrings." She handed me a pair of silver earrings and I put them on.
Presentation
~oOo~
"Okay, Reyna. You're done! Ready to see your completed look?"
"I'm ready." We walked to my full sized mirror and I looked at myself. I was immediately surprised. The clothes, hair and makeup were gorgeous. They didn't mask my features. They enhanced them which made the whole look come together. I looked elegant and sophisticated instead of my usual grungy and intimidating self. I turned to Piper.
"Thank you so much!" I hugged her.
"You're welcome, now go enjoy your dinner."
"Thanks, Pipes. I will."
Done! This chapter was almost 1k words but I decided that was fine with me. Yay! I'm making the chapters longer and more detailed. The first chapter was really short and now they're just getting more and more words. Okay, get ready for the next chapter. It has a bit of fluff but also a lot of excitement. REVIEW! See you all soon! Love you guys!
