The Magic Between Them (ON HOLD)

Chapter 31

     When I pick myself up and turn around, I see Preston and Dash hugging. Mitch sees me watching and comes up from behind to give me a hug. Pretty soon, Jackie and Rob are hugging, and Flit and Jerome are just holding hands and staring at each other, one turning pink while the other one is turning purple. I'm sure you can guess which one was purple - ahh, classic Flit.... You know, I have to wonder what she's thinking about. I look at Mitch and flick my head towards Flit, and he nods and let's me go. Then I walk over and "casually" sit next to her.

"Hey Flit!" I whisper, so that only she can hear, and not Mitch and Jerome. "What are you thinking about right now?"

"I'm thinking about how good it is that Unicity isn't here!" She whispers back, and then turns back to stare at Jerome. I smile, turning back to Mitch, and accept another hug, while his eyes question what I was doing.

"I just had to know something." I reassure, and he just smiles and pulls me to his chest. I realize that during the time I was talking to Flit he had put on his Benja hoodie, and I sigh and relax into the warm, fuzzy fabric. If Unicity was here, she'd be appalled that we didn't match, and force us to wear matching boyfriend and girlfriend outfits - no choice of ours, of course. I must be making a face, because Mitch takes a look at my face and starts laughing.

     "What?" I ask. "I'm just thinking about what would happen if Unicity was here." I say, and he nods as though he knew what I was talking about. Ahh, so cute, but still. He doesn't even get the half of it. "No, Mitch, you have no idea. She'd make us -" I stop talking when I hear Unicity run down and start squealing.

    "Oh my gosh! I just had the best idea ever!" She yells, and I inwardly groan. Mitch gently glided me over to a couch, so I don't fall over from the situation. Seriously - if you had a friend that loved making you dress up and put on fashion shows, you'd fall over too. Mitch lays down and pulls me up next to him, resting my head on his shoulder.
"Unicity, what is it now?" I ask in a tired voice. Mitch just half hugs me, trying not to laugh.

"I could make you all new outfits! Then we could put on a fashion show and take photos!" She squeals. I turn my head to look at Mitch, and he just looks back without expression. Hmmm... I wonder what's he's thinking.... Dash interrupts my thought when she starts protesting.

     "Uniiiicityyyyyy.... Do we have to do this every time we have a sleepover?" She half-whines. Hey- don't get me wrong - Dash rarely whines. But still, it happened, and I most definitely agree with her opinion. Then she walks over to me, and Mitch puts his arms around me, not letting go. Geez, he must not want to do it either, and doesn't want to see me have to love through it.

      "Twiiiiii, you're neeeeext....." Unicity sings, and then smirks and uses her magic to untangle Mitch's arms, dragging me down the hall to measure me. Slamming the door shut, she puts a strong barrier on it, not letting me escape. "Okay, Twi, go change, and then meet me out here when you're ready." She tells me, and I practically run into the closet. (What? Her closet is HUGE! It's practically a whole other room!) I take as long as I possibly can, and come back out. Then she starts sewing.

     Making me stand with my arms at a perfect 180 degrees, she fits what she has on me, squealing at the sight. I must admit - it doesn't look too bad. At least I can use my magic to hold up a book and turn the pages so I'm not bored to death... Finishing up the dress (IT'S WAY TOO POOFY), she adds a purple and silver glittered star belt (the silver stars are sparkly), and that is the only really good part of the dress. At least it can't get any worse... Well, at least until the sparkles. Using her magic, she practically throws the glitter all over me, and I sneeze, the book flying to the ground. Seriously, how are you supposed to breathe with that? Making me turn in circles, I have finally had enough. I just can't wait any longer!
