Another World

Chapter 2

Alex's P.O.V.

"Hey, Alex," Lydia said over the phone.

"Hey, Lyd. What's up? Don't say the sky or anything related to that," I said.

"Nothing really. I'm bored. Can I come over?" she asked.

"Of course you can," I said.

"Yay! Anyway, I've been thinking, since I'm going to Karen's birthday party-"

"Lydia, you know I would say no. I mean I'm not even invited! I'm not as party crasher."

"I know... but it's a masquerade party! They wouldn't even know it's you. Listen, bae, you've gotta get out there."

"I know but even if I said yes I would go wearing a plain t-shirt, jeans and a paper bag over my head."

"You've forgotten, Doctor Lydia Hollands is in the house and she's got the perfect outfit for you."

"I don't know, Lyd"

"Please? Just once. Pleaseeeeeeeeee....."

"Fine! Only for Doctor Lydia Hollands," I said.

"Yipeeeeee! I'll be right over! Byeee!" she squealed. I laughed. Typical Lydia.

---------

You know when Lydia said that she'd be right over, I didn't expect her to be here so fast. She brought clothes, like a lot of them, make up tools, hair curlers and two masks. Wow... she is really excited. I opened the door, she rushed in, pulling me in at the same time.

"Calm your tits, sugar. The party doesn't start until 8 pm. We have like 7 hours ahead of us," I said.

"Knowing you, I think it would take hours to find you a costume," she said. That's why we're best friends.

"Point taken."

"C'mon let's get started, I know what I'm gonna be," she said.

"What are you gonna be?" I asked.

"Poison Ivy from Batman," she replied.

Lydia dragged me up to my room and made me try all the costumes she had. The first one was a puffy, Cinderella kind of dress. Three words: I. Look. Horrible. The second, third, fourth, fifth was equally horrible.

-------------

Lyd was right. It felt like hours dressing then stripping off a costume over and over again, "Lydia, this is hopeless! I'm never going to find a costume," I said throwing my hands up in the air. I've tried, Superwoman, Cat woman, Rouge from X-Men, a pirate, a fairy, a princess, guess what they all look horrible.

"Hey, what about this?" Lydia asked showing me a dark green dress with long sleeve(Something like Tauriel's dress when she talked to Thranduil), "And look, it comes with a circlet."

"Lydia, where did you find this?" I asked. The material was soft and silky and the circlet looked like it was made of some kind of marble.

"In your cupboard?" she said. Wait... I don't remember having this! "Go try it on."

I went back into the toilet, stripped out of the icky pink dress and put the green one on. Oh my god... this is perfect, the material inside was so soft and cooling. I put the circlet on. I smiled to myself and walked out of the toilet. Lydia looked at me in shock.

"Alex... you look like a princess," she said.

"Lydia this is perfect!" I said hugging myself.

"I know right! I don't think you should put make up or curl your hair. Just put on this mask and you will be the star tonight," she said. Thank lord! I hate make up.

"Oh shit! We only have 2 hours to get ready!" I said.

Lydia ran out of my room and down the stairs. She took her costume and went to the guest bathroom. I looked into the mirror again. I then saw a girl running in the woods with a child? I shook my head, snapping out of trance. It's probably the trick of the light.

A/N:
