The week went by quickly, both you and Larissa taking a step back into professionalism to set up for the Rave'N. As both of you were perfectionists, the decorations took up most of your time as there was always something that looked off so you decided to change it or move it somewhere else. After everything was perfected and ready to go, you took a step back to admire your handy work, proud of how good everyone did to make this dance unforgettable.

"I'm going to go get ready," You sighed contently, Larissa giving you a nod while she took a sip of her nearly empty water bottle.

"Don't be late!" She called out after you as soon as she finished drinking.

You gave her a nod over your shoulder, walking out of the room, and immediately making your way to your living quarters. You were going to get yourself ready until you spotted the dress you bought for Wednesday hanging next to your own, immediately grabbing it and heading towards Ophelia Hall in hopes that she was in her room.

After a few knocks to the door, an excited Enid opened the door to let you in. A squeal immediately left her lips when she noticed the black dress in your hands.

"Oh my gosh, is that for Wednesday?!"

"It is," You chuckled at her enthusiasm.

"That dress. . ." Wednesday butted in, eyes focused on your hands. "How did you–?"

"You're not as sneaky as you think you are. I caught you staring at it, and as the amazing older sister that I am, I bought it for you. Go try it on." You practically forced the dress into her hands, not giving her a chance to rebuttal as you returned your focus back to Enid who was sitting on her bed with makeup spread all around her as she frantically tried to figure out what she was doing.

"Need some help?" You offered the small blonde.

"Please– I have so many ideas but I don't know what I'm doing. I've watched tutorial after tutorial but I always mess it up, and tonight needs to be perfect–" The younger girl was speaking so fast, panic spreading across her features.

"Okay, okay!" You cut her off with a small laugh, "There's no need to panic, I know what I'm doing. May I?" You point to her bed, wanting to sit across from her.

"Oh– thank you! Sorry, yes, sit." She attempted to tidy up her mess to make room for you to sit down.

You sat across from her, legs tucked beneath you as you examined all your options.

"First things first, what do you plan on wearing?"

"Uh–" Enid looked around before jumping from the bed to grab a dress that hung in front of her floor-length mirror. "This! Isn't it totes adorable?!" She smiled brightly as she showed you the dress.

"That's really cute, Enid! I have to say, I love your style." You admitted, as she put the dress back to return to her seat in front of you.

"I could literally say the same about you! I always see you in super cute dresses, and I can only imagine what the inside of your closet looks like."

"Maybe I can give you a little tour sometime, I'm sure you'd be in heaven." You smiled when her eyes immediately lit up.

"I would love to! I need a break from looking at Wednesday's clothes, they still give me the creeps."

"Then we'll have to remember to do that soon."

She nodded her head with the biggest smile you've ever seen on someone's face.

"Now, back to business," You cleared your throat, returning your focus back to the task at hand, "Give me one word for the kind of look you're going for."
