"Oh, God! Tama, I can't do this!" I began to panic.

I was running around the backstage area for the pageant like a chicken with its head cut off.

I was beginning to second guess myself and was kind of taking it overboard.

"What if I trip?! What if I have a wardrobe malfunction?! Is this dress the right color?! Oh, God! I already talked myself up so much! I can't mess up now!" I exclaimed frantically as I flailed my arms around.

I was having a literal panic attack.

Suddenly, Tama pulled me into a tight bear hug and my eyes went wide.

He never initiates hugs.

"You are going to be fine. You look gorgeous and I know you're gonna do amazing," Tama assured me as he rested his head in the crook of my neck.

He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and then backed out of the hug, smiling.

I made a determined face.

"You're right! I need to stop worrying!' I smiled.

"(y/n)! You gotta put this dress on! You're on in 15!" Yuku shouted as she ran over to us.

"Right! I'll see you later, okay. Make sure you get a good seat!" I smiled at Tama, giving him a quick peck on the lips before I ran off with Yuku.

*𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒑 *

    "Next up, (y/n) (l/n)!" The announcer exclaimed.

I took a deep breath and walked out onto the catwalk, holding a pink rose in my cupped hand.

I was wearing a tight basil green cocktail dress and some black Doc Martens.

I'm not gonna completely change my style for this thing.

Once I got to the end, I took a deep breath.

I made the rose glow and vines game from it.

I began swirling around my hands and fingers, making the vines form a ball around me and float in the air.

I hadn't practiced this because I didn't wanna ruin the surprise for anybody so I had to nail this on the first try.

Once I felt like everything was ready, I made the ball burst.

Everyone gasped as flowers of all different colors, smells, and sizes began falling like rain, along with some butterflies, too.

And as I slowly floated down, everyone realized that I had changed my basil cocktail dress to a tea green, off-the-shoulder trumpet dress with flowers strewn all over it.

My loose hair was turned into an elegant bun, my Doc Martens were turned into gold gladiator sandal heels, and I had small flowers in my hair.

But I wanted to make this extra special for a little girl in the audience and made a flower crown form around Eri's head.

Her eyes were wide and she was in awe of everything, making me smile.

"I'll say! That left the entire audience aflutter! That's it for the pageant, today folks! Vote now for your favorite beauty to be crowned the winner of the contest! Results will be announced at 5 pm! Don't be late!" The announcer announced as everyone began packing up.

* 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒑 *

    "So what did you think? Was it too much? Not enough?! I knew I should've gone for more butterflies," I scolded myself as Tama and I walked backstage together.

I have to keep the dress on for when I go up for the results.

Pageant tradition.

Tama grabbed me by my shoulders and stopped me.

"You did perfectly. The flowers were awesome and I think the butterflies were a nice touch," Tama assured me, smiling.

I took a deep breath and smiled back.

"Thanks, Tama," I smiled, putting my hand to his cheek.

"Hey, (y/n), they're about to announce the results and-whoa. Am I interrupting something?" Yuku smirked.

Our eyes went wide and we both blushed bright red.

Tama covered his face from embarrassment and I retracted my hand from his face.

"Welp! I'll see you out there, Tama!" I said quickly, trying to run away as fast as I could without breaking my neck in the heels I was wearing.

* 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒑 *

    "And the winner of the UA Beauty Pageant is.......(Y/N) (L/N)!" The announcer exclaimed.

My eyes went wide and I smiled as I walked out on stage.

They put a sash on me and placed a crown on my head as they took pictures.

'I did it!'
