In theworld of drag, where every performance is a showdown and every queen is out for the crown, Marina and Dada are the fiercest rivals. Marina, the seasoned queen with a sassy attitude, is set on claiming her spot at the top. Dada, the towering be...
Pagkatapos ng kaguluhan kagabi, nagising si Marina na parang sinampal ng boulder. Dahil sa stress at kakulangan ng tulog mula sa kanilang drama ni La Grande Dame. Ang pakiramdam niya, kailangan niya ng isang truckload ng kape.
“Ugh, kailangan ko na ng kape!” Marina muttered habang nagbubuhos ng kape sa kanyang mug. Coffee is her lifeline. Nang buksan niya ang phone niya, nakita niyang may bagong post si La Grande Dame — ang crown na parang glued na sa kanyang ulo. My God! Eversince kagabi, Dada's smug has been stuck on my mind, annoying na multong giraffe alert! 🙄

Marina read, rolling her eyes so hard baka magka-cramps. “Seriously? Queen na queen talaga. Shet, ang kapal!”
Tapos, hindi pa doon natapos. May announcement: “Team Performance Challenge. Partners: Marina Summers and La Grande Dame.”
“Are you freaking kidding me?!” Marina shouted, almost spilling her coffee. “Bakit siya pa? Universe, shet, ang tindi mo!”
Dada’s POV:
I was focused sa pag-aayos ng makeup. Ang crown ko mula kagabi ay hindi natatanggal. Para na itong accessory na bahagi ng daily glam routine ko.
“Minsan naiisip ko, baka ang crown na ito ay nakadikit na,” i said with a dramatic flip of my hair whilst adjusing crown. “Sana lang, hindi ako magka-accident na mapabagsak ito. Shems.”
When i saw the announcement, i saw that Marina was my partner, Seriously? Is this the universe’s idea of a joke?
“Ano ba yan, Marina Summers?” i muttered habang tinitingnan ang post. “This has to be a prank. Universe, shutakels!, wag naman sanang ganito!”
Third-Person POV:
The day of their first rehearsal arrived, and everything was as dramatic as you’d expect. Ang café na pinili nila ay parang kinahig ng rainbow unicorn. Neon lights, glittery décors, and drag queen posters were all over the place—super “in-your-face” drama.
Marina arrived first, looking like she was ready to slay the entire café. Ang oversized sunglasses niya ay on, hindi dahil gusto niyang magtago kundi para ipakita sa mundo na 'I’m fabulous, deal with it' . Nakaupo siya sa booth sa dulo, hoping na hindi siya makikita. Pero sa totoo lang, parang “I’m here!” vibes ang lahat.
Moments later, Dada entered the café with the grace and poise of a queen, heels clicking loudly on the floor. Ang aura niya ay parang nagsabi, I’m here, world. Watch me. Almost all of the people ay halos matanggal ang mga mata sa pagtingin kay Dada. Ang crown niya na parang glued na sa ulo —probably because it had been.
Dada sat down across Marina, her smile as radiant as her sequined gown. “Good morning, Marina. Ready na ba tayo for today’s extravaganza?”
Marina took off her sunglasses slowly, looking at Dada as if she were an alien. “Ready? You mean, ready to deal with your oversized ego again?”
