And....Chapter Two is up. Thanks for everyone who kept on reading and for new readers as well. I hope you like Reese and her big family so far (I have one myself, anyone who can relate?) and if you do enjoy the chapter, please consider voting! I'll appreciate it a lot! Comments and criticism are welcome and I will try to respond to every single one!

 "No fricking way!" Reese hugged her arms to her chest defensively, hunching herself into a ball in the corner of Isabelle's bedroom. She glared at three she-devils each holding up skimpy, skimpier and the skimpiest dress she can even think of.

"But Reese," Isabelle said, slathering a hint of a whine into her name, she tossed her choice of dress onto her perfectly made bed and crossed her arm "It's a party, you're not supposed to wear jeans and hoodies to a party." She wrinkled her nose some more as she glanced at Reese's clothes "Especially not man jeans and hoodies."

"Izzy's right," Charlotte chimed in, waving a pale pink crop top in front of Reese's eyes, there was a crazed light in her blue eyes. Her sister was having more fun in this than Reese thought. She narrowed her eyes and briefly wondered what her future classmates that practically worship Charlotte Parker would say if they could see her now. "You can't wear your horrible shirts to the party, I can't have you embarrassing us."

Reese mumbled, squeezing her eyes shut so she wouldn't see her sisters' pleading looks "You're not even introducing me as your sibling or anything else, just a distant family friend. There's no need to feel embarrassed"

Angelica added to the conversation, her voice eager "But Reese, it's a one in a lifetime chance. Nobody would ever know who you are, you can radiate as much 'girl' as you want and your reputation wouldn't be hurt." When Reese didn't budge, she urged "C'mon sis, you're a girl, we all know that, and you must want to act girly once in the while. Even the worst of the worst tomboys do."

Reese rolled her eyes behind closed lids "I'm going to ignore the fact that you indirectly insulted me."

There was silence and after a few long minutes, Reese cautiously cracked open her eyelids only to see Angelica, Isabelle, and Charlotte looking at her with big pleading eyes that the dogs her mother brings home put on when they want extra treats.

She exhaled a long held breath, exasperated. "You're not going to give up are you?" She asked.

"Nope." Charlotte said, flopping onto Isabelle's bed, ignoring her annoyed look. She was careful not to mess up her carefully straightened hair as she leaned back against the matching pillows "So giving in earlier would make your life a hell lot easier." Charlotte crossed her legs over each other, her sparkling silver pumps glittering in the bright light of Isabelle's bedroom.

"Fine." Reese groaned "Do your voodoo magic on me, Parkers. Make me a girl or whatever."

A grin spread over Isabelle's face. "I knew you'd give in into my charms." She said, winking, her beautifully mascaraed eyelashes brushing against her cheekbones.

An hour later, Reese wholly and totally regretted her decision.

"Are you done yet?" She whined, staring into the mirror, tired as Angelica fidgeted with her short hair and Isabelle dabbed who knows what kind of substance onto her skin.

"Almost." Angelica soothed, frowning into the mirror, her blue gaze locking with Reese's "It will take an angel's blessing to make your horrible hair into a presentable style."

Charlotte snorted from the hallway where she was picking dressed out of a giant closet; her sisters had compromised and agreed to pick something out of the closet of dresses that they shared instead of choosing something from one of their stashes. "Angie, were you trying to make that funny?"
