1st pov (Serenity)
Wednesday…
Twenty minutes ago, the doctor removed the thread from my forehead, and my forehead looks good as new. No long will I have to wear a white wrap to hide my scar. In three days, my birthday will arrive. I'm so excited! Now, I'm thinking what I should do for my birthday. Of course, I'm going not to be legal, so I won't be drinking, and getting fucked up. Maybe I'll invite Riza and Sheska, and go to a hotel. I'm not sure. Anyway, I was relaxing in my room, until there was a knock on my door. And I answer…
Me: Come in!
Riza enters my room, and Dex is with her. I did say that Dex was with her dog, Black Hayate, just to have fun. Dex licks my forehead which tells me that he noticed the stitch gone.
Me: So, how did Dex behave?
Riza: He was a well-behaved dog. Both him and Black Hayate.
Me: You're such a good dog, Dex. *scratches behind his ears*
Riza: Oh, Serenity, I ran into a military officer, and he wanted me to give this to you. He says it's something important. *gives the folded paper*
Me:* in thought* If it's something important, it was Envy in disguise.
I unfold the piece of paper, and of course, it was definitely from Envy. This note has to be read in private.
Me: Excuse me, Riza?
Riza: Yes?
Me: Not to be rude or anything, but can you exit my room. It's from somebody not from the military.
Riza: That's okay. *leaves the room*
Riza exits my room, and began to read the note. The note read…
Serenity, I won't come to visit you today, or tomorrow, but until Friday night, you're going have to meet me at the park at 11:10 p.m. I will have something planned for you for your birthday. When it's midnight, I will give you a special gift. A gift that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Either I'll meet you there, or you'll meet me there if I'm late. See you soon.
P.S. - I didn't write this note. Lust did.
I figured that he got Lust to write the note since there was a difference in penmanship; Lust wrote in cursive. I'm looking at the note for a moment, and I thought…
Me: *in thought* Why would a Homunculus plan a party for me? Even though Envy has been visiting me for the past two days, it just doesn't add up. Well, I don't think it will be that bad. We're just friends after all.
I place the note in the drawer, and then Dex and I exit the room. When I closed the door behind me, I hear Sheska's voice say…
Sheska: So, what did the note say?
Me: How do you know I was reading a note?
Sheska: Lieutenant Hawkeye told me. So…what did it say?
Me: Nothing. It was just an invitation to a party for those who have birthdays arriving. And I don't know how the hell they knew when my birthday was.
Winry: A party? Who sent it to you?
Me: Didn't say…
Winry: A secret admirer? How cute!
Me: Yeah. Yeah it is. *in thought* Good. They're buying it.
Winry: So, what're you wearing to this party? I hope it's not those half-tomboy clothes you always wear. It's too plain.
Me: What's wrong with wearing a black tank top, jeans, flats, and a long grey jacket, Winry?
Winry: Nothing, Serenity. It's just that you need to wear something that's not plain. You must wear something that flatters you.
Me: Flatters me?
Winry: Really, Serenity, you don't necessarily need to wear an outfit that says, "I'm going to fuck shit up." Nope. You really need an outfit that says, "I'm the sexiest girl alive." I mean look at you; you're beautiful, and everyone must see that. Show legs, and some cleavage since you do have nice breasts.
Me: Winry, that's not like you to say that. You're too nice according to what Edward tells me about you.
Winry: Yeah, but you know what I'm saying.
Sheska: Well, it's final, Serenity. You're going clothes shopping with us.
Me: Well, I guess there's no escaping now. *to Dex* Sorry, boy, but it looks like I have to be separated from you again. Why don't you go to Colonel Mustang's office? He'll be happy to see you.
Dex barks, and runs to Mustang's office. Now, I have to do something that I'm not a fan of with Winry and Sheska. If I refuse, then they'll end up dragging my ass.
Fast Forward...
The girls and I went to a clothing place called Chic. I've got to admit that this place definitely has a lot of clothes to choose from, but still, I'm not interested in this.
Sheska: Well, what are you waiting for, Serenity. Let's find some clothes for you. *pulls my arm*
Me: Ow, Sheska. You're hurting me!
While Winry and Sheska are searching rack after rack, I'm just roaming through outfits that don't say, "I'm the perfect outfit for you to wear." This crap is hard. I was passing Sheska, and I hear her cheerful voice say…
Sheska: Serenity, these outfits have your name written all over it.
I walk to where Sheska is, and she shows me two outfits. One had a strapless black jumper with a mini-belt, and a long grey flared skirt with the right side split so the leg, so the left leg is visible. The second outfit had a single sleeved blouse with a black high waist shorts with three buttons to fasten it up, and a black hat.
Me: There nice, Sheska, but…
Winry: No. Don't even try to refuse these outfits. You're going to try on these picks now. *pulls my arm*
Me: What's with you guys and my arm? As you can see, it's not a rope…
Winry takes me and the outfits to the fitting room, and she helps me with the outfit I mentioned first. I step out, and look in the mirror. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a very different person. This Serenity is…beautiful. Curves are shown, a leg is shown, and even my arms are showing out of my jacket, and they're bare and beautiful.
Winry: I see that you're speechless. How does it feel to be out of that jacket?
Me: I feel naked without it on me now, but I must say that I do look…hot…
Sheska: Told you so. Do you want to try on the other?
Me: Sure.*enters the fitting room*
I put on the other outfit, and look in the mirror once again. This time both my legs are visible. To me, every outfit I wear make me not just bad, but badder. And I like it. After I changed back into my regular outfit, I've decided to buy at least two more outfits. I got another outfit that was a turquoise sleeveless turtleneck dress with a butterfly belt, and white legging. Another one I got was a strapless bright green blouse with a zipper that shows my midriff with a black skirt, and shiny grey leggings. I even found some of those curved heel wedges I like so much. I was planning on heading out right now, but this dress caught my eye. It was strapless sweetheart neck line. It was light pink at the bottom, and black at the top, and rhinestones were in the middle. I look at it for a moment. I hear Winry say…
Winry: Serenity, are you ready to back?
I snatch the dress of the rack, and rush to the fitting room, and say to the girls…
Me: Hold on! One more!
The girls follow me back to the fitting room. I put on the dress, step out, and look in the mirror. As I look at the way I look in it, I can feel myself smiling in the inside. My breasts were pushed up, and it fits perfectly at the top. Towards the bottom, the curves were shown a lot, and the skirt was above knee length a bit.
Sheska: Glad we didn't leave yet. You are definitely glowing in that dress. You look like a princess.
Winry: A princess is not a princess if there is an absence of jewelry, and a handbag.
Winry gets a nice semi large handbag, and a long necklace. She puts the necklace around my neck, and I feel the coldness of the necklace in the center of my cleavage. Now I look at myself, and see that I change from a tomboy Serenity to sexy Serenity. But I still want to keep my tomboy look for some moments.
Winry: So, what outfit are you going to wear to this party?
Now that Winry mentions that, I don't even know. I have to take back when I said looking for clothes is hard. The hard part actually is choosing the outfit that stands out the most.
