Us girls are at a tea shop. We are ready for the ball. I sit on a small white chair.

"Normally I prefer more of a cramped lampshade environment-but this place is also a fave." Jordan smiles at Allie.

"Thanks."

"Wicked dress! You're gonna look so great tonight." Mal looks at Allie's dress.

"Oh, so are you. I'm sure your dress will be amazing."

"This is my dress."

"I know! And I...love it!"

"Nice one. She totally didn't get that you don't love it." Jordan loudly whispers.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're a really bad whisperer?" Mal asks her.

"No, they totally haven't." Jordan whispers.

"Jordan, you're a bad whisperer." I smile.

Audrey runs in. "Guys, guys! Emergency!"

"Is someone hurt?" Jane asks.

"No."

"Ooh, is someone really hurt?" Freddie smiles.

"No!"

"Is Jay missing?" I ask.

"I don't care about that boy." Audrey scoffs.

"Watch it." I point at her.

"Oh, my web series broke one million subscribers?" Jordan, why?

"How would that be an emergency?" Audrey asks her.

"Oh, is there an emergency?"

"Somebody stole my dress!" Audrey shouts. I groan and roll my eyes.

"It's okay. Everyone just calm down. This is why I always bring a back-up gown. And back-up accessories." Evie grabs a beautiful dress and choker.

"Hmm, do you have anything a little less...puncture-prone?" Audrey looks at the outfit.

"And back-up de-accessories!" Evie takes away the choker.

"You know, for a VK look, it's actually pretty cute. I'm sold!" Audrey runs away and runs back. "Ta-da!"

"Wow, how did you change so fast? Seriously, one second you're wearing one dress and then you're wearing the other. It was like...out of a cartoon." Evie is amazed.

"My mum was raised by fairies. Quick outfit change is a family skill. When I was a baby, I could change my own diaper in two seconds flat!" Audrey brags. Who brags about that kind of stuff?

"Thank you for that visual." Mal looses her smile.

"Thank you, Evie. You're a life-saver." Audrey grabs her hands.

"Oh, I've been called worse." Evie smiles.

"Oh, that's so sweet." Jane says.

"That's so sweet." Freddie rolls her eyes.

"This deserves a celebration. Tea me." Allie grabs a tea cup. Freddie passes the tea mug to Mal who pours Allie some tea. Mal accidentally spills some on Allie's dress. "Oh, my dress!" Allie looks angrily at Freddie.

"Don't look at me! I'm not the one that always makes a mess of everything." Freddie makes me sigh.

"You once made a mess of Harriet Hook's hair." I smile.

"Remember the name she was given?"

"Harriet the Ugly." We laugh.

"You, you did this!" Allie looks at Mal.

"What? No, of course, not! Why would I do that? I-I love your dress!" Mal says.

"That's why you destroyed it. You're jealous! You VKs can't stand it if someone looks better than you!"

"Hey!" I stand up.

"She has a point." Evie slowly sits me down again.

"E." I smack her.

"No, she doesn't." Mal looks at Evie and then back at Allie. She stands up and grabs Allie's hands. "Allie, I swear I didn't do this. But I promise I can fix it. I think. Dress, dress, away from this mess, rid this gown of its distress!" Allie's dress forms colourful splats. "Okay, don't freak out! Yet. Dress, dress, I must express, make this gown a bit to impress!" It gets worst to an AK's point of view.

"Wait! I actually really like it." Freddie says.

"You do? You're just saying that." Allie looks sad.

"No, I mean it. It's really...alternative."

"Alternative to what?"

"She means it's very fashion-forward. If I didn't think I was already wearing the best dress, I'd be super-jelie. But I do, so I'm not." Evie gushes.

"You know what? I think it's cool too." Jane smiles.

"Really?" Allie smiles.

"Even the Queen of Hearts herself would be jealous of that number."

"I would totally feature that on my web show. VK gone viral." Jordan looks at me.

"I am super jealous of that dress. I mean, that's more fabulous than my mama and my mama is super amazing." I smile.

"It is kind of funky." Allie looks at her dress.

"Oh, yeah. Funky! That's what I was going for, you know, 'cause that's why they call me the funk master! The funk-munko, funky town."

"Quit while you're ahead." Me and Evie tell Mal.

"Good call."

"Well, I guess the roses aren't the only thing being painted red!" Allie twirls. "I'll take it."

""VKs gone viral"? Isn't it interesting that we both ended up with a little villain edge for a party look? Maybe a little too interesting." Audrey looks suspicious.

"Don't be racist." I tell her.
