A New Beginning

Little Improvements

(A/N: Lol, before you ask, yes, Veronica is the Veronica in the BSE video! xD She just seemed like the right kind of person to help Marcel out! Hope you like.(: )

============================

*Same Day*

-Marcel's P.O.V.-

Jessa drove all around until we made it to this cute little town that appeared out of nowhere.

"We're here, sugah!" Jessa exclaimed.

"Oh, boy!" I shouted excitedly. "I can't wait to - uh - what are we doing again?" I asked.

"We are gonna find you a style, Styles," she said.

"Oh, right!" I said. "Oh, Marc- Harry, You've got a smudge glasses! Let's clean them off" I thought to myself. Jessa must've saw me fix them because she took them out of my hands and threw them in the trash.

"Hey!" I shouted, voice creaking. "What was that for?" I asked.

"Those glasses were just too much, darlin'. We'll find you some contacts and you can wear those instead," she explained.

"But my glasses ar-"

"Old-fashioned, sweetheart. You gotta get with the new!"

"Well, okay," I said a little bummed. "Biscuits! Those were my favorite pair..." I said to myself.

"Now, let's go find you a new hairstyle!" she said, dragging me to an innocent looking hair salon.

"Oh, I just LOVE getting my haircut," I gushed. "I just feel so wild!"

"Well, Veronica here is the best of the best, sugah! She's a beauty proffessional, and she won't stop until you're perfect! She'll find a style for you in no time." Jessa said.

"Who's Veronica?" I questioned.

"Right behind you," said a voice with a hint of seductiveness to it. "My name is Veronica and I'm the best beautician around town." she said.

Wowzers! She was a pretty sight to see!

Slicking my hair back and placing a grin on my face, I walked forward to introduce myself.

"My name's Harr-whaaaaaagh!" Oh you klutz, you! Why'd you have to trip in front of a girl! She probably thinks you're a geek now, Mar-Harry.

I shuffled up and stood in place, saying my name not making eye contact.

"I'm M-Harry." I said.

"Mary? But isn't that a girl's name?" she asked.

Oh, man! It sounded like I said Mary! Great goin', Harry.

"HEHY-REE," I corrected her.

"Oh, I see. Well, HARRY, let's get to it. I can tell we have a lot to achieve in little time. First we'll start with the way you walk," she began. "Now, I'm going to show you what to do, and you copy me, okay? Okay."

She began walking from the front of the room to the back. My she was a beauty!

"Alrighty, simple as that! Now you try," she said.

"Okalee dokalee," I said.

The first step I took, I tripped, but caught myself before falling.

"You can do it, Harry!" I whispered to give myself confidence.

After a couple of tries, okay well maybe 2 hours of walking, I finally got the hang of it!

"Way to go, Marcel! Oops, I mean Harry." I chuckled in my head.

"Good!" Veronica commented at my improvement. "Now that we have walking covered, let's move on to.... Speech." she said.

"Speech? But I can talk just fine," I replied, my voice cracking on the word 'fine'.

"What we have to do is train your voice not to make squeaks like it just did." she explained.

"Oh, well, how are you going to do that?" I asked.

"Hmm..." she thought. "Try talking in an accent and making your voice deeper." she suggested.

"Like this?" I said making may voice go waaay lowwwwww.

"Uhm, that was a little too low." she said.

"How about right here?" I said, my voice sounding deep, but not too deep.

"Wow! That sounds just right, actually!" Veronica stated.

It wasn't even hard for me to talk like this! It just came naturally, I guess. Veronica had me talking like this for a few hours, and soon enough, the voice stuck! No more high voice or squeaking for me! Yeah! :D

"Hmmmm, what to do next..." Veronica contemplated as she looked me up and down. I blushed.

"Fashion," she spoke. "That's it! You need a new style. And I think I might have the right clothes for you!" she said, leaving the room to fetch the clothes. "Oh, boy, this is exciting!" I said, smiling wide, still using the deeper accent. I sounded pretty "cool", if you asked me!

"Here we are," Veronica said. "Now, take of your clothes."

"Right now?!" I said, embarrassed by what she asked. "But, there are girls in here...!"

"It's only Jessa and I," Veronica stated. "Just do it,"

"Well, okay, if you say so..." I slowly took my clothes of, blushing as I stood in only my underpants.

"Here." Veronica pushed the clothes in my hand and I immediately started dressing, as quickly as I could. She gave me a black t-shirt with a really low collar and some really tight skinny jeans. I barely fit in them!

"Like this?" I asked.

"Perfect!" she said. "Wow. You don't actually look to bad, Harry."

"Thanks," I said, blushing.

"Something's missing..." Veronica mentioned. "Ah-ha!" she said. "This,"

She gave my hair a big shake, ruffling her hands through my slick-backed hair.

"It's a good thing you gel your hair in the morning, now it'll stay like this! But next time, don't use so much, it looks a little greasy." she commented, quickly fixing my hair.

"Go ahead and take a look," Veronica said, smiling.

I took a look in the mirror, and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "WHO IS THIS PERSON?!?!" I said aloud.

"It's the new you," Jessa said. "I knew Veronica would do you good." she told me. "She does magic!"

"Now it's time to put you to the test!" Veronica said. "Out you go, both of you, put that new beauty to work! Teach him well, Jessa. I know you will!" Veronica said, pushing us out the door.

"Time for the world to see the new you!" Jessa said excitedly. "Let's go!"

We hopped back in the car and drove back to where we came from.

"Oh wow," I thought. "A new me!" I shrieked. "This is going to be amazing!" I couldn't contain my excitement.

"Here we go, sugah!" Jessa said, pulling out of the driveway. "Watch out world, there's a new kid in town!"
