Today, Janet cries.. She he's fallen deeper into her depression and doesn't know what to do with herself. The Prince of Scandinavia is marrying another woman in just a few days and she is helpless in her despair of love. She cries and no man dares to help or disturb her. She knew that Michael was with Grace and Grace was with Michael.. She couldn't talk to her vain sister LaToya.. And Rebbie.. Rebbie was away in another Kingdom with her husband..

She has no one to talk to. Her mother, the Queen, was busy sending out the invitations to Prince Michael's ball.. What good shall a ball do for a man already promised to another woman? Have they no sense? She thought. She shrugged and sat in front of her mirror again.. She looked at herself without any of her powder or lip coloring on.. No blush or any of her coloring that goes above her eyes. She then began to shake her head and reached for her box.. She began to apply her disguise..

First, her powder.. She closed her eyes and began to rub it all over her face. When her eyes opened, she became a new color.. She was somehow paler now and reached for her blush. A dash of pink on her cheeks shall do some good. Next, she searched for her coloring that goes above her eyes.. Purple.. She applied it and just when she thought she might look beautiful.. She pulled out her lip coloring..

Red.. Dark red.. A rich dark and bloody red.. She began to carefully slide the color onto her lips and then she began to cry. She cried because she realized that nothing could fix her depression.. But then she remembered the last person she could talk to about anything. She thought about it once she began to take off her disguise. She had taken half of it off when she began running to the door of the only other person left..

Janet: Jermaine!

Jermaine: Go away!

She barged into his room and was hit was the most horrifying smell..

Janet: Good God Jermaine! Do you open the windows?

She said as she held her nose.

Jermaine: Janet, get out! I do not want you here!

He turned over and the smell got stronger. Then she realized that the smell was him.

Janet: Have you not bathed?

Jermaine: Have you no-.. Janet!

His eyes widened when he laid eyes on her. She covered her face and turned around as she began to cry.

Jermaine: My sister, forgive me of my ways.. I meant not to upset you.

Janet: No, do not apologize.. For I know that I am a monstrosity in your sight..

Jermaine: No, Janet.. Tis not what I-..

Janet: No, You shall not lie to me! I know what I am! And what I am is a monstrosity! An ugly girl!

Jermaine arose from his bed and grabbed her by her arms.

Jermaine: Janet look at me! Whom told you these horrid things?

Janet: No one.. No man but myself..

Jermaine: Janet..

He sighed and let her long hair fumble through his fingers.

Jermaine: You are beautiful..

He kissed her forehead and looked at her.

Janet: But I am not.. I am ugly.

Jermaine: Why? Why have you crammed such insolence in your head?

Janet: Because!

Jermaine: Why?
