                 Michelle and Peter sit on the couch patiently waiting for Ned. "So what's this whole thing about again" Michelle asked , "because it's Friday evening, and it would be nice to get some reading in". "Ned said it was big news. He stated he needed both of us here for it" Peter said trying to mimic Ned's voice.
"It's 4:30 what possibly could Ned want. I swear if he wants to build another LEGO Death Star I'm gonna Kill him" Michelle said, turning around more to face Peter. "Oh come on Mj" Peter scoffed. "Nope don't even try it Peter" Michelle said in a firm voice. "Fine" Peter said giving in. Peter knew when to pick his battles, and this one wasn't worth it in his opinion.
Ned busted through Peters door with excitement painted all over his face. "Woah buddy what's going on" Peter said walking up to Ned, and doing their stupid handshake. "Ok so keep up with me" Ned stated before going on with his conversation, "so Liz got here this morning, and she wanted to do something big. So she's going to have this big party tonight! Isn't that great Peter. So I told her you, Michelle, and I will make. It's going to be great this is your chance". Ned said sitting down on Peter couch, out of breath.
"Well thanks for telling us late" Peter laughed out. Earning a look from Ned. "I just found out bro" Ned said still breathing heavily. "Well guess I better go" Michelle said standing up. "Wait are you going, do you need a ride" Ned asked. "Um yeah I'm going, I just need to go get ready" Michelle replied while opening the door , "Also I'll have a ride there so don't worry". And with That she shut the door.
******************
Michelle ran into her room to find something to wear. She wanted to look nice for this Party, to Michelle she had a lot at stake. If she didn't pick correctly, and act fast she may lose Peter. She can't lose Peter to Liz. It's sad to say it, but Michelle needed Peter. If she loses Peter, she would also lose Ned. Ned and Peter is all She really had.
Michelle pick out a white shirt, tucked into her black skirt. And to top it all off she picked out a black jacket to go with it. She grabbed her black converse and shoved them on her feet. Once she was done she looked in the mirror. She gazed at her reflection, feeling as though she was in someone else's skin. She quickly turned around, and made her way to her moms room.
             She made her way over to her moms makeup desk.Michelle quickly grabbed the foundation, and threw it on her face as best as she could. Michelle didn't really have experience in this crap. Her Mom was never home. So in a way she never really had a mom. After she was done with the foundation, she grabbed some she matte lipstick. It was nude color and it matched her skin perfectly.
          Michelle ran back into her room to turn on her straightener. Michelle took one deep breath before putting the straightener on her hair. She never really did this before either. In her opinion she never really needed too. She thought she looked fine all natural. It made her feel confident, and comfortable in her own skin.After she was done completely, she looked in the mirror once more. She couldn't even see herself anymore. But it was the type of girls Peter was into right? And it was only for one night, so how bad could it be.
****************
             Peter and Ned sat out side the party waiting for Michelle. "Did you try calling her" Ned asked. "No i thought you did" Peter replied confused. "I just texted her she's inside the house already" Ned said opening the door. The house was full. Full of friends, and strangers.
"Hey", Ned and Peter turned around to face Liz. "Hi,Hi,hey, Liz how are you" Peter stumbled to say. "Good" Liz replied with a huge smile on her face. "How are you Ned" Liz asked. "Good, this is an amazing party" Ned said, giving Liz a complement.
"Well we better go find Mj" Peter mumbled walking away. Ned following close behind. "What was that about" Ned asked confused. "I made a fool out of myself" he replied back, "let's just find Mj, and enjoy the rest of the night". Ned nodded agreeing not to push it any further.
Michelle slowly walked up to Peter and Ned with a small smile on her face. "Mj" Peter and Ned said in union. "You look amazing" Ned said giving Michelle a hug. Peter looked Michelle up and down. She looked amazing. But she would still look amazing if she would have came as Michelle, not as someone she's not. Peter loved Michelle's natural hair, and he loved that she didn't feel the need to wear makeup. She loved herself the way she was. She didn't care what people thought of her, that's what Peter loved about Michelle the most. Peter loved everything about Michelle. In his opinion there's nothing to hate about Michelle, she was perfect.
"You ok peter" Michelle asked, kicking peter out of his train of thought. "Yeah, you look nice by the way" Peter said greeting her. "Thanks, you too! Have you guys seen Liz yet" She asked stealing a bowl of chips from someone walking by. "Yeah Peter embarrassed himself so bad" Ned laughed out. "Ned"Peter said offended. "Sorry, oh my gosh there's Betty! Do you think she'll talk to me" Ned asked nervously. "Yeah go get 'em tiger" Michelle said as she hit his back for encouragement. Ned quickly ran over to Betty, excitement written all over his face.
"Why did you get all dressed up for this stupid thing anyway" Peter asked putting his full attention on Michelle. "Um I don't know. Aren't guys suppose to like this or some shit" Michelle asked. Peter noticed that Mj wasn't her usual confident self. Even she could tell she lost her Confidence in that question. Michelle looked down at her feet hoping Peter didn't notice
                 " Um yeah I guess guys like that. But I like you when you're yourself. You don't even like makeup Mj. And if a guy doesn't like you and your natural hair, than he's not worth it. Because I think you beautiful just the way you are. You are perfect without makeup, you're perfect with you beautiful curly hair" Peter spit out, feeling more confident with every word.
                Michelle looked up to meet Peters gaze. "You really think so" Michelle said, "thanks loser". "No problem, I was only speaking the truth" Peter said grabbing her hand. Michelle give Peter a small smile "thanks Pete, you better talk to Liz. We don't know how much time you have with her". "Are you sure, I'm having fun with you" Peter said. "Yeah go get her tiger" Michelle said Padding his shoulder. "Thanks Michelle" Peter said walking away from Michelle, and walking nervously towards Liz.
                 Michelle painfully watches as the one she loves is with another. Someone who actually makes him happy. Someone who can treat him the way he deserves. Someone he deserves, someone he loves. And this pains Michelle to know this someone isn't her.
