Unmasked ⚜️ Malum

One

"Hey, Michael. The school dance is tonight. You are going, right? Please tell me you're going."

I let out a small laugh of disbelief and put the broom down before turning to face Anna. "Oh, totally. I totally want to get busted by Travis and get stuck doing doggy duty for five months. Or, rather, doggy doodie. There's no way in hell I'm going to the dance."

"Michaellllll!" Travis yelled and I quickly picked the broom back up before starting to sweep again.

"Yes?" I said and glanced over at the door as I swept.

"I'm taking Alexa out so she can get everything done up for the dance." Travis said and glared at me. "Also, You missed a spot." He added as he intentionally knocked over the garbage can.

"Yeah, thanks for pointing it out." I muttered and put the garbage can back in place before starting to sweep up the mess. "When will you be back?"

"Around midnight." Travis said and I raised an eyebrow before looking up from the trash pile to look at him.

"Midnight?" I said and he nodded.

"Yes, midnight. Do you even ever listen to me? I said midnight!" Travis said and I nodded.

"Yeah, sorry. I heard you. I guess I'm just dumb." I muttered and finished sweeping up.

"You got that right. Stupid kid." Travis muttered and started to walk away.

"It's just that.. the dance ends at midnight. I thought you were only going to watch Alexa get ready and then coming back to the kennel." I said and he shrugged a little.

"I decided I will go anyway." Travis said and I sighed. "That way, I get to relax, and you have more work to do. It's a win-win situation."

"Oh, Okay. Well, I'll be right here." I said and sighed a little as I watched him walk away.

"Okay, um, yeah you are going to that dance." Anna said after Travis walked out to his car.

"Are you crazy? I'd get caught. I'd be grounded for life. I'd be.. locked away in a tower like rapunzel. I'd be... cleaning up dog shit until I'm 90."

"You won't get in trouble." Anna said.

"Yes I will!" I retaliated.

"You won't. No one will know it's you. You'll be in disguise." She said and I rolled my eyes.

"No disguise will be able to help me. Travis isn't that dumb."

"Hm." She said as she placed her hand on her hip. "I have an idea." She said and grabbed my hand before taking me upstairs.

"This can't be good." I said and she laughed a little before making me sit in front of the mirror.

"You'll be in disguise. As a girl." She said and I let out a laugh.

"Okay, you're officially insane. No one will believe I'm a girl." I said and she shook her head a little.

"You'll be surprised at what a little contouring, a wig, and fake titties can do. It can work wonders." She said and grabbed her makeup case. "By the way, what size shoe do you wear?" She asked and I shrugged.

"Um.. I don't know." I said and she sighed before taking one of my shoes off and looking at the bottom.

"Wow. You have unusually small feet. For a guy, anyway." She said and put my shoe down. I raised my eyebrow a little.

"Um, Okay?" I said and she shrugged a little.

"Oh well. It's fine. It's actually good, in this case. That means my shoes will fit you." She said and started grabbing things out of her makeup case. "Well. They might."

"Might?" I said and she shrugged a little as she started to put makeup on my face.

"Yeah. Might. I'm sure they will, but, you know, you could shock us all by having bigger feet than I thought." Anna said and I glared at her through the reflection of the mirror.

"I don't even know what you meant by that." I said and she shrugged.

"Just.. Sit there and be quiet so I can get this done." She said and I sighed a little.

"You know makeup probably won't completely disguise me, right?" I said and she stopped to think for a moment.

"Well, I'll just.. Hm. You'll wear a mask, too. Just to be extra sure." Anna said and I rolled my eyes a little.

"If this doesn't work, I'm so gonna kill you." I said and she laughed a little.

"It will work." She said. "And if it doesn't, you won't be able to kill me, because you'll be locked away in a tower or cleaning up dog shit until you're 90, like you said."

"Oh, whatever, just work your magic."
