Makeup & Glee

Kassie looked down at her all black outfit. It was quite plain, no doubt. But she usually looked great in black. She got up for a second, pulling on the black pants. She did a little dance with them, smiling triumphantly as she put them on. She pulled the shirt over her drying hair, looking in the mirror. She softly sang, "Eleven, twelve. I pull off black so well."

Kassie sat back down, tuning in to what Crystal was saying. She was rambling about Kassie's cheek bones and what lipstick shades would look great on her.

Kassie simply laughed. She wouldn't consider herself gorgeous. But she did think she was pretty. And with Crystal doing her makeup, she would look even prettier. Gorgeous, maybe. She felt like a real celebrity.

Crystal finally began working on Kassie, starting with her eyebrows and simply arching and plucking them.

Kassie winced in pain. She threw a small smile at Arcus as she caught his eye.

Arcus grinned back at her, happy to see her smile. Then he continued to watch Glee. He softly hummed to Teenage Dream in the show. Then he got an idea. He smiled mischievously. 'Looks like I'll be making some calls.' he thought.

Kassie glanced at Arcus again, her mouth curving into a suspicous smile. "You're up to something." she pointed out.

Sophie and Crystal laughed. "I'm sure we'll find out in a few minutes." Sophie said.

Arcus laughed. "Maybe. Maybe not. You'll just have to see." he said. "Don't smother her." he told the duo.

Crystal nodded. Sophie scowled. "We won't." she said.

Arcus nodded and left out. This was going to go perfectly. Or so he hoped.

Kassie sat in her chair, letting Crystal do her makeup. She was bored. "Sophie, could you grab my phone?"

Sophie raised an eyebrow and got up, searching the room. After a few minutes, she found and returned the phone to Kassie. "Here you go." she said.

Kassie have her a bright smile. Then she remembered. She hadn't broadcasted. She immediately opened the app. She found an angle where she looked good, but didn't disturb Crystal. She started the broadcast.

"Welcome back to the KassKat headquarters!" she started. "Before anyone asks, yes, I'm getting my makeup done."

She looked at the viewer count. 18k to 100k. She didn't want to crash the app. She chuckled, looking at the comments. She read them out loud.

"What happened with you and that guy?
Where is he?
Why are you getting your face done?"

Kassie laughed. "Me and Arcus," she made sure to correct, "are just fine. He was here watching Glee, but he left out to do something. I have no idea what though. As for why I'm getting my makeup done, I'm about to take a lot of pictures. Keep an eye on Twitter." she said with a wink.

Sophie jumped up, getting a text. "My assistant is here with your clothes. I'll be back." she said.

"Alright." Kassie said. She looked back down at the comments. She was so happy. She was with Arcus. She was getting her makeup done professionally. She was getting name brand clothes. She couldn't believe it. In the time span of two days. She smiled a bit. It was wild.

Crystal steps back for a second, examining Kassie. She laughed. "I'm having my work cut out for me. How am I supposed to make someone that's already pretty prettier? You have such a happy glow." she said. Then she groaned. "Why couldn't Arcus choose a shallow and ugly snob?"

"Am I supposed to apologize for being naturally pretty?" Kassie laughs.

Sophie comes back up with a few clothes and purses. She checked out Crystals work, setting the purses in front of Kassie. There were only Chanel, Prada, and Coach. "Alright girlie. Start picking. I have a bet with Nala you'll choose a certain one."

Kassie gasped. "This is amazing. I don't know how I could even have any of this. I never considered WANTING any of this." She laughs, saying this to the broadcast too. "Oh God..." Kassie said. She already knew which bag she wanted. "Chanel over Prada ANYDAY." She snatched the Chanel purse, holding it close and cradling it like a baby.

Sophie sniffled. "Chanel over... Oh my god!" She ran and hugged Kassie tightly, a small river of tears streaming down her face. "I've been waiting for someone to have that good of a fashion sense for YEARS." she laughs and turns to Nala. "I WIN!"

Nala meowed at Sophie. Almost like she was rolling her eyes at her. Nala jumped into Kassies lap, looking at her phone. Who was she talking to? Nala wondered.

Crystal sniffled, holding her hand to her eyes. "You better not start crying! If you cry... I'll still be crying." she told herself. "A family of cry babies indeed." Crystal laughed and played a song from her phone.

Sophie laughed. "Cry Baby by Melanie Martinez? Oh my goodness you nerd. There can't be a song reference for everything I say."

"You seem to replace your brain with your heart. You take things so hard and then you fall apart." Kassie sang.

Kassie looked at the outfits, pointing at a blue maxi dress and light brown wedges. "You like, guys?" She showed everyone in the broadcast. She read the comments.

"Wow Kassie, how did you afford that good of a makeup team?
How did you get that good of an outfit team?
You look beautiful Kas!"

Kassie shrugged. "I have good connections. And thank you!" she grinned. Crystal finally finished off her makeup, handing her the new outfit. "Don't mess it up." she said warningly.

Kassie laughed. "I won't!" she reassured. She put her phone facedown, quickly changing into the outfit. She picked up her phone again and looked in the mirror. She gasped. "Crystal!"

Kassie looked amazing. She twirled for a second. Sophie and Crystal stood behind her, grinning. "Don't thank me." Crystal said.

Sophie stepped up and quickly put Kassie's hair into neat bun. "And let's not forget..."

Sophie walked over to her purse, pulling out a tiara shimmering in diamonds. She carefully places it on Kassie's head, grinning. "The queen is ready for her debut." she said. She gave a slight curtsy in the process.

Kassie gasped, looking at herself. "This isn't good. This is goddess." she said. She looked at the crown, softly touching it. They were real diamonds. Kassie turned and hugged Crystal and Sophie. "You guys are the best." she said.

Both sisters threw her off. "Hugs and tears later
We can't have your clothes wrinkled already." Sophie scolded.

"Or your makeup." Crystal chimed.

Kassie chuckled. "Alright then. So that leaves Arcus. Where the hell is he?"

Back With Arcus...

"Right there!" he yelled. The red carpet of roses was complete. He has his backup singers. The bouquet of roses for Kassie, and security to protect her. Strangers on the street were already gathering to see what he was up to. He grinned, pulling out his phone to text Crystal. 'Bring her down.'
