Midge's POV
I slowly open my eyes. "Where am I?" I gush. I see Begonia's hefty figure hovering over me.
"Do you not remember the rather peculiar turn of events?" Begonia bellows.
I see a bandage tied around my fingers.
"I had to cut you off of Jonathan," She said disdainfully, then brightens with a chuckle. "But he must not have forgotten about your date."
I surge off the futon and into the air jubilantly, shrieking as I do so.
"Now let's get you into something appetizing, sugarplum." Begonia gestures brilliantly. She pulls a dress out of the bureau . I yank it over my head. The dress looks like this:
Begonia looks puzzled. "Hmm... That's not quite you." She holds up a finger. "Hold on. I think I have something in the back."
I tear the dress from my body, never wanting to see it again. I spit on it. My saliva is wet and succulent. It instantly turns into crust.
Begonia comes out and spins, holding the next dress. "Now, this ought to do the trick."
I wail happily. "It's perfect, Miss. Butterbitch." I am crying now.

Begonia teases my hair to the clouds and packs my makeup on so hard, my face begins begins to bleed. I look like this:
Just as i'm finished, Groffy meanders into the room. "Woah, Midge, you look better than my sister's goldfish does when she's pregnant!"
I blush profusely and fan my face.
"Well, onward," Groff says, while doing a handstand.
This is going to be a wild night.
