"WAKE UP AMARA! WAKE UP OLD LADY! WE STILL HAVE A GALA TO PREPARE FOR! WAKE UP GRANDMA! YOU THINK I WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET YOUR REM SLEEP!?"

Today was the day the Fermonts had to be ready for the gala and Leora now has been knocking the front door for a few hours. After another 10 minutes, Amara opened the door to nearly be hit by Leora's shoe

"What are you even doing?" Amara said in a groggy voice, seemingly woke up recently

"What do you think!? I HAVE BEEN KNOCKING FOR HOURS! IT'S ALMOST NOON!" Leora said dropping her shoe to put it back on, frustrated with having to wait

"Wait, how long have you been here?" Amara said, finally waking up from her sleepy mood. Leora looks at her pocket watch and her eyes widen

"......Since 6am" Leora said, rubbing the back of her neck with a small but embarrassed smile. A silence hung over the sisters as one was embarrassed and the other was annoyed

"* sigh * And why did you not use that time to sleep?" Amara said with her hand on her head

"Because I had E N E R G Y" Leora dragged the words making it sound like she was high

"* raises eyebrow * These are the times where I question whether you are okay or not" Amara said, not liking the fact that she now has to deal with her hyper sister

"I'm okay but I wanna break something!" With the tone Leora used, it seemed she was quite eager to do so

"Well, we need to-"

"Can I set the manor on fire?" Leora asked, interrupting Amara

"No"

"No fair!" Leora said, pouting with her arms crossed

In Ivy's House

"AUNTY HARLEY CAN I BURN SOMETHING!?" Leora exclaimed, still outside

The door opened with a confused Ivy, concerned Selina and a very happy Harley

"OF COURSE, Buttercup! Come on-"

"Last I checked you two were here to finish getting ready for the gala. Not to set stuff on fire" Ivy said in a strict tone which prompted Leora to give out a nervous chuckle

"* sigh * I suppose we can get you your dresses and then we will do the makeup" Selina suggested, which made Leora's eyes widen

"I'm not doing makeup" Leora said swiftly

"But you have to put makeup" Amara said, knowing exactly how to get her revenge

"Still, I'm not doing makeup" Leora said, crossing her arms and pouting

"Yes, you are"

"No"

"Yes"

"NO"

"YES"

"How about you just put on a little makeup? It will make you look prettier" Selina said, not wanting their discussion to turn into an argument

"Who cares about makeup!?" Leora exclaimed

It was almost an hour by the time the Fermonts got dresses and almost the time for the gala by the time they convinced Leora to put on makeup. When the Fermonts arrived to the gala, they were met with cameras and light as Amara walked the red carpet with confidence while Leora followed with a little less thrill but kept a smile on her face nonetheless

Once they entered Wayne Manor, they were met with beautiful decorations on the walls. Leora quickly looked around to see if she could find someone she knew. It wasn't long before Dick found the siblings making Leora give a small sigh
