Veneer and Velvet were twins. Both were only teenagers but incredibly famous to Mount Rageous. Both spindly, attractive, doll-like, pearly-white-skinned humanoid giants both with green hair, deep-blue eyes, lavender-pink rosy cheeks and sports minimal makeup.

Veneer has shorter green hair that has been gelled into a long quiff, and wears makeup consisting of grayish-cyan eyeshadows and green lipstick. He is noticeably shorter than Velvet, even when wearing heels. Velvet's hair is longer and wavier and has been kept in a high-ponytail, with the two longest parts of head ornaments vaguely resembling the letter "V". In addition, her eyes possesses fluttery-like lashes, and her makeup consists of sparkly-light violet eyeshadow and fuchsia lip gloss. For both attires, both wore V neck gold tank tops worn under similarly-designed crop-tops with pointed shoulder-pads, followed by crystal accessories. Velvet's outfit is followed with a matching miniskirt. Veneer wears matching gold short-shorts.

The two were very close to one another, sharing fame and their glamourous life. Although fighting quite a lot, they were still siblings and they loved one another. Velvet grew up being a spoiled, bratty girl while Veneer was a complete opposite being quite shy and emotionally sensitive. It seems like they were basically the same now. Velvet had grown more mature and was trying to show her care for her brother which was sometimes shown with actions rather than words.

Mount Rageons were thriving and absolutely crazy for them! Especially since, their concert was making it's way into their calendars. There was so many people going nuts for the tickets, already 10 thousand people were on their list with tickets. The song on show was 'Mount Rageous' starring, obviously, Veneer and Velvet. Apparently, this concert was going to be the biggest most glamorous the city had seen in years! Glitter, lights, diamonds and even more glitter. Well, in a week or so.

The clothes were ready for dancing and singing in and just to be sure they were fitted and worn by the two.

"Oh these are super fancy! I could do the splits in these, super stretchy!" Veneer was very happy over the clothes that were presented to him, Velvet seeing Veneer satisfied, nodded to the tailor. "These are good! Now, please leave us." She glanced at their tailor.


The man nodded quickly and left them for privacy. Veneer was checking himself out in the mirror when he said, "Are we really going to get onto that massive stage with roller-skates? I mean.. I'm not scared!" He added, looking at her face which said 'You obviously are and have been since I told you'. "You don't have to be scared. Anyway, its not too high! You'll be fine." He raised his eyebrows and she sighed. "Okay fine, maybe it's a bit high but we've been practicing for ages! You won't fall. I'll make sure you wont fall." She smiled a little and he gave her a smile back.

"Anyway, it isn't for another week or so we have time!" Velvet checked her face in the mirror and grabbed a hairbrush. As she brushed through her hair, Veneer sat down in silence and began putting the roller skates on. They are about the same size as his normal platform shoes, and had many laces looping round over it. Their assistant, Crimp hopped into the room holding the clipboard which was as big as her and she nervously stood there waiting for someone to speak first. There was a long silence before Velvet finally looked over at her with an annoyed groan.

"Are you going to stand there in silence staring OR are you going to speak?" Crimp looked around like Velvet was talking to someone else then looked back. She stuttered as she spoke pushing her glasses up her face, "U-Uh.. your m-makeup artist.. he's here." Veneer stumbled as he got up but steadied himself and Velvet put down her hairbrush in front of the mirror. "Bring him in then, don't just stand there looking stupid!" Crimp nodded and quickly ran out the room not bothering to close the door.

"Stupid bitch." Veneer grumbled, and skated to the bookshelf and back. "Comfortable?" Velvet asked, checking her face for any spots. He nodded and moved hair out his eyes, skating back and forth liking the feeling of the comfy cushion inside of them. Velvet looked out the door and pinched the bridge of her nose angrily sighing and trying to calm herself down. "Where is Angel? Crimp told us he's here! CRIMP! BRING HIM IN NOW!" She yelled. Veneer sat down again untying the laces. There was silence and Velvet slammed the hairbrush down which she had picked up. Velvet screamed her name again before storming out the room coming to look for their orange haired assistant leaving Veneer alone. He got up, now in his normal socks and went to look in the mirror, he was still quite nervous. He had seen the platform, it was about 9 feet up and 2 feet wide. He knew his sister was right he shouldn't be frightened.

But he wasn't as confident as her, he had never been. He just had to breathe and get on with it. Veneer grabbed his hairbrush and began brushing through the knots in his hair all the time staring at himself.

Why'd he feel like this?

Maybe they shouldn't do this-

"Veneer!" Velvet popped her head into the room and smiled at him. "Y'know that interviewer? Kidritz or something. The one you like!" Veneer looked over, embarrassed but confused and he nodded. "He's gonna be watching us." Veneer's pale face went slightly pink and he looked away from her going even more red in the cheeks. His nerves grew even more, his chest feeling heavy and he felt butterflies in his stomach. Velvet laughed at his face in the mirror and he groaned, covering his face embarrassed. "Stop! Be quiet!" He grabbed a pillow off the sofa, and threw it over making her laugh louder and fall back. He sighed but ended up smiling as well, hearing her laughing made him laugh too.

"Velvet and Veneer! My two favourite people!" Their makeup artist, Angel, came in to the room. He looked at the twins laughing, Velvet in the hallway and Veneer leaning against the vanity.

"Did I say something?" He gave them a confused look.
