-FOUR-

As Ellie did Allison's makeup with watercolours, Madison took photographs of everything. She caught a lot on video, too.

"Katie, say hi to my camera," grinned Maddy, pointing her smaller Canon camera at her friend, who was getting Ellie to blend Allison's concealer. Katie laughed and covered her face with a hand, whining, "No, I'm not prepped enough for a video shoot!" Maddy laughed and faced the camera to the mirror, showing Ellie and Allison.

"Maddy, why!" Laughed the woman, reaching back and tickling the blonde.

"Should we make you look as crazy as possible?" Asked Katie.

"Yes," grinned Allison.

"Can Nando skate in the house?" She asked.

"Yes," nodded the woman.

"Can we get a dog?"

"Hang on, that's in the future," laughed Allison.

"Okay, Katie smiled.

"Nice try," Allison pinched the girls face with two fingers, smiling.

Later on, Madison took pictures of Allison trying on various rather hideous outfits. Finally, when she came outside in a tutu and hair ribbons with an odd t-shirt, Ellie exclaimed, "That's the one!"

Madison pulled out her bigger camera and put it up to her eye, grinning, "Gimme a twirl, Mrs. Torres!"

Humouring her, Allison did so, and laughed as Madison showed her the perfectly captured photograph, where the blurred lines were just right, and the way the woman's hair fell around her face was perfect with the twirl she'd done.

Carlos came out in a superhero costume, and made a little theme song sound as Madison clicked yet another picture, this time making sure his cape's ripples were defined enough, and his face was well-illuminated as well, the blue face paint showing up perfectly.

Madison sat next to Katie, who grinned as she saw the photographs, and the pair laughed over how silly everyone looked.

"Oh, nice job Ellie," Nando admitted, coming in with the list they had made. Madison placed her camera around her neck, extending the strap so that the camera rested on the side of her hip.

"Thank you," the girl politely smiled.

"What's that?" Carlos asked.

"We made a list of our five big asks," said Nando, a mischievous grin on his face.

"For the day to be a success, we have to make it through all five." Said Katie.

Allison grinned, "I love a list."

Dramatically, Nando pulled the cover away from the first slot. "Number one!" It revealed something in Korean, confusing almost everyone.

"Is that Korean?" Carlos asked baffled.

Nando shouted, "Breakfast surprise!!" Turning around, he announced, "To the Explorer!"

The six of them piled into the car, Madison miraculously squeezing in amongst them all.

"Is it weird that I'm scared?" Asked Carlos.

"Nope," said Ellie with a grin.

Madison laughed and opened one more of her red coloured lollipops, about to pop it in her mouth when Katie took it from her. The brunette looked at her friend right in the eyes as she placed the round sucker in her mouth, smirking at her friend's wide grey-eyed gaze. Taking it out of her mouth slowly, the brunette sighed, "This is nothing compared to what we're gonna have for breakfast."
