A Non-Graceful Way to Begin the Night.

[Charlie Jones]

After a god and satisfying hot shower, Charlie went to changed. It was a confusing day to say the least. After making a series of clumsy trips in even the most flat surfaces, she couldn't quite get that clumsiness out of her system for the rest of the day. And when the day had come to an end, she had a round bruise on her arm from being jabbed after walking right toward the doorframe, and gum under both her shoes.

Recalling the day as she combed through wet hair, she didn't notice her PJ shirt was inside out. She also didn't notice the person calling to her attention.

{Since it seems to be me and you}

Reina walked into the bathroom and for a full minute tapped her toes on the tile. She slowly crossed her arms and finally finished with sighing loudly, but it seemed that Charlie was intent on ignoring her.

"Charlene! Charlene! Chaaaaaarlene! Charlene Jones?!?"

[Charlie Jones]

(sorry, been having a restricted week )

Turning to Reina, Charlie stamped her own foot childishly and waved her comb around furiously. "Reina!! Don't! Call! Me! Thaaat!!" She furrowed her eyebrows and just gave a look to Reina. With the odd day behind her, she was in a puerile mood. "Whaddaya want?!"

[diablo]

"To use the middle mirror because it has the best lighting and the most room. So if you're done..."

Reina trailed off. She wasn't going to wait long, but she couldn't help goading Charlie.

"Charlene, why can't we be friends? Huh, Charlene?"

[Charlie Jones]

"Velez, shut your face!" Charlie said, irritated by the repetition of her full name. She might as well fight fire with fire. "I mean-- Velez! I was wondering the same exact same thing, Velez. Why is that, V?"

[diablo]

Reina visibly cringed.

"Okay, okay, let's act like we both don't know the other's hated name."

Reina kinda pushed Charlie out of the way with her hips.

"Now if you don't mind and move your wide load out of the way so I can brush my hair and try out this new makeup."

[Charlie Jones]

"Agreed." Charlie cringed all the same at the mention of make-up, but it was involuntary. Moving out the way for this one time, she murmured, "Wanna talk about wide loads? I'll talk about wide loads..."

[diablo]

Reina caught Charlie's grimace and she looked at her puzzle then it slowly faded away and was replaced by a devilish smile.

"Charlie since we are Great friends now how about I give you a make over. Make you all up. It'll be fun."

Reina gave a huge smile.

[Charlie Jones]

Charlie's toothbrush was in midair with the paste on it and everything, when she made a slow turn from her brush to the older Slytherin and then straight to the door. "Fun for me is getting mauled by a dragon," she said simply.

[diablo]

Reina quickly stepped in front of Charlie before she could go anywhere.

"Cooooooome on!" Reina whined. "It'll be fun. I'll do your eyes, then your cheeks, put on some rouge and hmm maybe some foundation. Curl you hair... ohh and we'll go out. Yes it'll be so fun."

[Charlie Jones]

Charlie's mouth hung open and her toothbrush still in the air. She was horrified at what she considered an indecent proposal. "What makes you think I'll let you torture me with that stuff," she looked at the makeup products and regretted taking a look at them, "And then go out in public? In public?! You can't make me!!"

[diablo]

Reina cocked an eyebrow.

"Torture you? This isn't torture. It's not even girly since I'm not that girly. It's mad fun. And I won't pluck your eyebrows or give you a facial scrub. That sorta hurts, but I see just putting color on your face is gonna scare you."

Reina crossed her arms and thought for a moment.

"I think I can sneak you into a teen club."

[Charlie Jones]

"First off-- over my dead body," Charlie checked off as she pretended to make a line with her tooth brush over her throat. "Second off-- over my dead body," Without hesistation, she repeated the motion. "Velez, have you ever seen me dance?" A faint memory of the salsa party and that one herbology class came to her head.

[diablo]

Reina ground her teeth.

"NO, CHARLENE I haven't seen you dance. But who cares you can dance if you want to, but it's more to be seen and see who's there. And I will kill you to dress you up, but I thought it'll be more fun with you groaning and moaning."

[Charlie Jones]

"You can't make me!" Charlie said, standing her ground and brushing her teeth furiously even though she was a few feet away from the sink by then. "The last person to try to put girly things on me was Tammy. And that muggle was lucky to get away."
