I stare at the outfits on my bed, trying to decide which one to wear for this evening. Damian had asked me on a date. I felt butterflies fluttering throughout my entire body, my heart pounding frantically even though the date was hours away. 

I groan and flop onto the sofa that was against the wall. I snatch my phone and quickly message for Nino, Alix, Marc, Nathaniel, and Marin to come to my room. I really needed advice on what to wear. I wait about 5 minutes before the door burst open and Marin marches in. 

I stare at him before I realize what was going on. I never told him about my date. He stares at me, demanding an explanation that I really felt to lazy to give at the moment. So I stare right back, waiting for him to give up. 

We stare at each other for a good 3 minutes before Alix and Marc come in and Alix throws a plushie ball that hits Marin in the back of the head. He whines and pouts at Alix, who snickers and sticks her tongue out at him. 

Nathaniel comes in a few minutes later and Nino comes in about 2 minutes after. He huffs as though he had been running. "Had to get away from Alya. She's incredibly needy that girl. Took me forever to get away." He takes a deep breath and puffs his cheeks. 

"So what did you need help with again, dudette?" I gesture to my bed, which held 4 different outfits. "I need help choosing an outfit for my date. Can you please, pretty please, help me? I really can't choose." Marin sighs and plops next to the outfits. 

"This is the emergency you called us here for?" I sit up and glare at him. "THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!"He grumbles something underneath his breath and I grab my sandal, throwing it at him and it hits him in the chest. 

He glares at me, rubbing the attacked spot and throws it back at me. I dodge it and stick my tongue out at him. A cough causes me to turn back to the group. I look at Alix, who was the one who did the fake cough, and she stares at me and Marin. 

"Now that you two are done, we can choose the outfit. First off, Mari, where are you being taken?" I shrug. "I don't know. I just know it's not too fancy but not casual." Marc shrugs. "Then do like a simple dress that isn't formal but isn't casual."

Nathaniel nods in agreement. "Yeah. And you can have your hair out loose since you always look best with it out." Ah. The joys of having 2 gay bestfriends. Marin fake gags and stands up. "Since y'all are going to be talking about clothes and what looks good on my sister, I'm going to get something to eat." 

I giggle as he walks out of the room, going to the kitchenette behind a wall in my room away from the living space. The presidential suite of this hotel was really nice and spacious and I'm getting off track again.

Nino goes into my closet with Nathaniel as Marc and Alix judge the outfits on my bed. Alix had good taste but normally didn't give a single shit about what she wore. She normally wore jeans and a random t-shirt with sneakers. Jeans go with everything so it didn't really matter to her. 

Finally Nino comes out carrying shoes and Nathaniel holding a dress. They start mix-matching everything, Alix occasionally saying to just get a pair of jeans and a nice blouse, only to be shut down by the 2 gays of the room. 3, if you count Marin but he didn't do this kind of thing. 

Eventually they settle on an outfit consisting of a single red mid thigh dress with gold flowers on it. They chose grey boots and Alix chose my purse and a necklace/choker for me to wear. Nathaniel paints my nails, Alix down my hair, and Marc my makeup.
