DRESS UP TIME

I don't know if you feel surprised that I would do something like this. Now that I think about my mum's parting shot, I think she was expecting it. I can't disappoint her now, can I? Muahahahaha....

The first thing I did was to go to Savy's room. If I was going to get into trouble, might as well have company. What? It'll be fun.

"Wanna go spy on the Lorent meeting?"I popped my head into Savy's room to ask.

Savy had her earphones on, but she lifted her brow at me and pulled it off. I could hear something angsty screaming and thumping from them.

"Mum said not to hang around." She reminded me dutifully.

"And we aren't." I told her, "We are... What are we doing there Savy?"

Savy thought a while, "Maybe we are returning a book to the library?"

She picked up a couple of books from the floor next to her bed. They were history texts. Why would Savy be reading history? But I didn't have time for this, "Let's go."

"In that?" Savy gives me a critical look.

I looked down at my "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt. I remembered that we are going to possibly bump into the Lorents.

"Maybe a dress?" I tried to guess what would not look like we purposely dressed up but still look very acceptable to Alpha and Luna Lorent.

I opened up our walk in wardrobe from Savy's side for some point of reference.

"We need to look casually put together, since it's a Sunday at our own pack house." Savy offered some pointers.

"And feminine and demure." I added. Savy nodded and asked aloud, "What would the alpha's daughters' wear on a Sunday?"

We both looked down at ourselves and laugh.

I tsked loudly, "Unacceptable!"

Eventually we managed to put together something... with stuff we found at the deepest part of our shared walk in wardrobe. We wore completely matching white summer dresses. The dresses had wide skirts that covered our knees. The tops were somewhat light for the January weather, but we layered on lightweight knitted sweaters. Savy wore the pink one, while I pulled on a light teal one. The sweaters had pearls sewn into the neckline.

I found white stockings! I think it was from a couple years back when Savy still did ballet. We pulled it on. It really stretched out when I wore it, but it looked fine.

This was now becoming like a dress up game. Savy found ribbons. White ones. I pull it around my head like a headband and tied a bow. Savy made a face, but she let me do it for her too.

After tying the silly ribbon around my collar everyday last week, I got quite proficient at making bows.

We put on light colored Mary Janes. Pink for her and blue for me. I didn't even know why we had those.

And then we shuffled to the mirror.

"No!" Savy shouted aghast at our reflection.

I couldn't help but grin. Wow. We look ridiculous, but I thought my mum would have approved... If we were taking a family portrait! Hahaha.

"Exchange with me!" Savy demanded.

I was laughing out loud now, and almost wanted to refuse her, just to watch her miserable. Savy hated wearing pink.

I took off the shoes and pulled off the sweater. We exchanged. Now I'm in pink. I look so... OMG.

Let's just say if I were a girl, I should totally do this look. I mean, I am a girl, but I'm not this type of girl. Actually, I don't think this type of girl exist, at least not in our pack. I wished the guys could see this. Hahahaha.

We did our makeup, curling out our lashes and adding just a touch of blush. Just for the effect. I was really careful to keep it light and natural.

What were we dressing up for again?

Oh right.

We might have deviated somewhat from the original plan.

"Let's go." I said. We took so long dressing up, I wouldn't be surprised if the Lorents had left.

Savy seemed to have realized our mistake too. "Sam, we look like... Sam, this is stupid. Everyone is going to laugh at us."

"No, everyone is going to laugh at me. Hurry up." I am grinning now. I had a new plan.

This was going to be so fun.

"We're going to walk into the pack house and act like this is what we are usually like." I told Savy, "then we will see everyone's stupefied faces, and them all trying to act natural to cover for us in front of the Lorents."

"If they even recognize us." Savy grumbled.

Hehhehhehheh... That would be funny too.

"And if we meet anyone who laughs and makes fun of the alpha's two sweet precious daughters, we will cry." I ended the last part darkly.

Savy was cackling softly now. I am sure she is imagining evil beyond my understanding.

I wished it were April Fools, but was there really a need for a reason to prank someone?

We headed downstairs and towards the pack house. Savy remembered at the last minute to grab the books she borrowed from the library room.

Oh yeah, we were supposed to be spying/checking on how dad was handling the Lorents. Yeah, we'll do that too.

"Sam?" Savy said to me as we stepped onto the pack house porch, "You are going to be in so much trouble for this."

I froze and almost turned back, but one of the Lorent warriors was standing at the front door. He bowed the moment we neared and flung the door opened for us.

Too late to turn back now.

I was going to be in so much trouble for this...
