Alex sighed softly as she tied the mask in place, it was the FBI fundraiser and of course, Penelope had crowned herself party planner. Alex wouldný have minded it one bit normally, but she resented masked balls. The idea someone could sneak up on you without you knowing who there are freaked her out more than she'd like to admit.

the mask
Alex made her way down the stairs, smiling at the wolf-whistles coming from Derek and Rossi. It was a bit tricky to do so with the mask on, but she made it down safely. Penelope instantly ran up to her. Hugging her close before gaping at Alex's appearance "Oh my god! Alex, you look amazing! Where is it from? Is that Vera w-" Alex laughed before answering, "It is indeed Vera Wang, as to how I got my hands on it. I got it from a friend." Alex hated lying to Penelope, she loved the younger woman as her sister. But there were some things she couldn't understand. "You sure she was just a friend hm?" Alex froze, "How-" Penelope cut her off giggling, "I didn't know for sure of course, but my gaydar is pretty good. Also, you just confirmed my suspicions." She whispered in the elder woman's ear. Before Alex could deny anything Penelope started speaking. "I can't blame you though, I mean she was sex on legs. I could only imagine how she looked in the academy!" She gushed. Alex blushed and ducked her head, before deciding to change the subject. "Hey Pen, you up for a spin around the dance floor?" She asked, grabbing her hand. "How could one possibly deny a dance with you? I am 100% sure you are the most gorgeous woman in this room, I can even bet my hello kitty collection on it." She giggled as Penelope grabbed her hand. After dancing through a few songs someone tapped on Alex's shoulder "Tu m'accordes cette danse ?" The woman asked, Alex recognized the voice but couldn't quite place it, Penelope giggled before handing Alex over. "Have fun you two!" she sang before winking at the stranger. "et qui es-tu exactement ?" Alex asked, still not able to place the Blonde's identity. "Tu me connais, ne t'inquiète pas. " The blonde reassured Alex, but it did not comfort her in the slightest. But she kept her cool, knowing the unmasking was close. "et qu'est-ce que je suis censé faire de toi maintenant ?" Alex asked with a raised eyebrow, the blonde giggled before pulling her to a balcony nearby. Just when they reached the balcony, the bells rang. Signaling midnight, and the time of unmasking. The blonde giggled, taking her mask off. Alex froze, mouth wide open. Every word that could have possibly left her mouth now stuck as tears gathered in her eyes. "You- you were supposed to be dead." She stammered, remembering the scene quite clearly.
