Lucas and The Time-Traveling Fog The Party Animals!

Chapter 11 Oh Great a Date

Words cannot describe how great it felt waking up the next day. Her bed felt like I was sleeping on a fluffy marshmallow, and guess what? No one was there to wake me up! Sunday morning, I woke up of my own free will. The rest of that morning had to be one of the greatest mornings of my entire life, and I seriously want to go back and relive it all over again despite how weird it got later.

Anyway, when I heard her mom calling all the kids for breakfast, I rushed down the steps so fast that I beat all of her siblings, and I even had the honors of, if I might add, eating breakfast second, the first being her father of course, and I enjoyed every second of it. Also, I didn't mind rubbing it in all her siblings' faces either because, after all, "I am the oldest."

After eating breakfast, I decided to take a nice long shower. I earned it. Maybe I got too comfortable being by myself in college because I totally forgot that with a family of five, the little thing called privacy doesn't exist, and being timed on how long I need to be in a shower does. I should've known better. I have two siblings of my own, and this was far from being over. Like, there would always be someone knocking at the door, whether it was asking me if they could come in to brush their teeth and comb their hair or tell me how much time I had left before someone else had to use the shower almost every single minute.

Let's just say I had to cut my shower time shorter than I wanted to, and my smile was no longer present; instead, a frown had taken its place. Soon as I dried myself, I headed straight for my room to get dressed. While there, I had my first encounter with that big closet of hers, where I was confronted with a decent number of outfits. As I'm scrolling through her clothes, I found her flowery pattern prom dress along with a few other girly outfits. Go figure.

Sooner or later, I found a dress that I liked. It was a rainbow-type dress that somehow, I found a rainbow necklace while scavenging in her room for some sort of jewelry box to go with the look, not to mention some big clips on earrings too. Then came the fun part of my morning, and that was the hair. Yeah, I don't want to talk about how that went. After I was done with that mess, I knew it was finally time to get started on my makeup that I was procrastinating on, but I couldn't find any that looked good on her in my purse.

The only person who I know who has more options is her own mother. But I really don't want to bother her because I don't want this to end up being whatever that was yesterday. I'm still not over that, and if only there were some way I could avoid her, I would do it in a heartbeat, but I knew how good her Spidey mom senses were, judging by what I saw yesterday with Tom. That was a risk I simply couldn't take, but I need to have her makeup to look good on her, or else, I'm sure I won't hear the end of it from her mother for the rest of the day.

So, I tiptoed over to her parents' closed door and knocked. I heard her ask, "Who is it?" I looked down at the floor and answered while trying not to bite my lip. "It's Liz. Can I come in?" The door opened immediately, and she pulled me inside. I was shocked because, usually, when I try knocking on my parents' door, my mom doesn't let me in until she's done getting ready. I guess it's different for girls.

I looked up and saw her with her green dress with yellow flowers along with no makeup, earrings, and a bunch of curl rolls in her hair. Seeing that is going to give me nightmares for a while. Anyway, she kindly asked me, "What do you need?"

I asked, "Do you...have...any... uhh--"

She interrupted me and said, "Spit it out."

"Makeup, that's it. Do you have any? Tom told me the other day that you could let me borrow some of yours," I replied.

Her mom said, "I do remember him asking that, and it's right here where it's always been. Take what you like," as she pointed to this box near her jewelry case on her desk. She then asked, "But before you do, do you mind if I do your makeup for you? It will save us both time to get ready for church." GULP! Just when I thought I knew everything about being a girl...this happens.
