Stark Mansion
July 23rd, 2010

Bella dug a short red silk dress out of her closet and pair of sparkly stilettos. Her father had only given her twenty minutes to get ready for the gala, which was entirely not enough time to change, do one's hair and makeup but somehow, she managed.

"How do I look?" She questioned, spinning around in front of her father.

"Almost as good as me." Tony smirked and led the way to the front door. Bella stuck out her tongue and glared sarcastically after him.

They got into the car and sped off with the radio blasting AC/DC. "Oh my gosh can we please turn this off?" Bella moaned.

"Nope." He popped the P and turned it up even more.

"You're the worst." She huffed and crossed her arms, slouching down into her seat.

"I know." He smirked.

Between Tony's speeding and reckless driving, they managed to reach downtown LA in record time. The tires screeched as the car jolted to a halt in front of the red carpet and Tony tossed the valet the keys. All around them cameras flashed, and reporters fired questions at them. Tony put his arm around Bella's shoulder in a protective manner, guiding her through the crowd.

"Hey, Tony. Remember me?" A random lady walked up to him.

"Sure don't." He walked a little faster to get away from her and Bella shot her an angry look.

An older man with glasses who was smoking a pipe stood surrounded by a group of much younger women. "You look great Hef." Tony said as he walked by and patted him on the shoulder. Something about him looked familiar although Bella couldn't quite place it. She was sure she had seen him before, but she shrugged it off.  

Ahead of them stood Obadiah talking to a reporter. "What's the world coming to when a guy's got to crash his own party?" Tony joked as he approached him.

"Look at you, guys. Hey, what a surprise." Sometime about his tone and mannerism told Bella he was less then pleased to see them, although he tried to hide it.

"I'll see you inside."

They began to walk away but Obie called after them, "Hey. Listen, take it slow, alright? I think I got the bored just where we want them."
