02 - Damn, that look...

- Gold, you're ready? Asked Ruby.

- Err, almost, but I really need to wear all that stuff ?

- What do you mean, all that stuff? Okay, I'm coming in alright?

Ruby found Gold wearing black sneakers, black suit pants, a white shirt tucked out and an opened black suit jacket, putting a golden tie on the upward collar of his shirt. He stopped in his tracks, and Ruby took a snap to send it to Blue, before walking to him and laughing.

- Well, let's say you can avoid the vest, but I really want you to keep the jacket.

- But why? Whined the golden eyed boy. The girls won't even be as dressed up, I'm sure of that!

- Don't worry, I planned it all with Blue, they will be dressed up as stars. You wouldn't want to be the only one dressed as shit, would you?

- Hmpf, answered Gold while Ruby adjusted his jacket, after he finally tucked his shirt under his pants.

He still let the last button opened on Gold's collar, knotting the golden tie right under it. His victim thanked him with a look, then looked at his reflection in the mirror, before turning his heels and getting out of the room. Of course, Ruby's three pieces suit was perfect, to the folding marks, and Gold had a sudden urge to rip the boy's clothes, but contained himself, and simply said that he'd rather stay with his natural, wrinkled look. They met up with Green and Red, already dressed up with almost identical suits, the difference being their ties Ruby assorted to their eyes. Green seemed awfully bored, and was mumbling to his phone waiting for an answer which seemed to be late. Red was trying to relax his collar without unbuttoning it, and appeared to be extremely uncomfortable in his dress up shoes. Gold had a superior smile. At least, he had had the right to wear sneakers, Ruby had preferred he didn't change too much from his usual look. His house was like a big manor. Ruby's father was really famous, and the building had a full aisle dedicated to guests, with enough rooms for everyone, a wide playroom where they prepared consoles, two amazingly big screens taking the damn whole wall, with a really big sofa and a minibar (which Ruby's parents emptied from alcoholic beverages) now full with juices.

- They're here, announced Green, slipping his phone in his pocket.

- Perfect, stay here, I'll greet them and guide them to the rooms so they can change and put their stuff.

- Don't get the rooms wrong Ruby, smirked Gold, walking to the consoles to check the installations.

It took him some time to understand how to switch on the screens, then he turned up the two consoles, checking the sound level on the surround system, the time of response of the screens and display quality, before launching the consoles synchronization for them to recognize each other. Red came close with a coke in hand, beginning to talk about different cortollers types, Green following the conversation and chiming in from the sofa. Blue got in right in the middle of their conversation, dressed up in a long black clad dress with a slit up her thigh, perched on assorted high heels, followed by Silver who only wore suitpants and a white shirt, both of them transporting heavy groceries bags. Gold congratulated himself as he was better dressed than him, and went back to his conversation with his friends, letting the two deal with the emptying of the bags. Blue came to greet them, detailing their outfits with a delightful look. Silver sat on the farther end of sofa from them with a drink and took his phone out to play with it.

- Your efforts will be greatly appreciated, gentlemen, believe me, told Blue with a wink. We'll take a pic as soon as the girls get there by the way. Pearl cannot make it, Diamond is coming already dressed up with Platina. Well, speak of the devil, here they come!

She walked quickly to the double door where their friends were getting to, the boys' eyes following her before getting back to their conversation. Platina wore a silver empire cut dress with lacework short sleeves, her feet trapped in flat silvery sandals. Diamond had assorted his bow tie to her dress, and walked towards the boys to greet them.
Boy's suit could pass as an upgraded uniform, but Gold noticed that he saw Platina in other clothes for the first time, and understood that would be the case for all the other girls tonight, because Blue was the only one he ever saw in plain clothes, even if her dress was far from what she usually wore. Losing track of their conversation, he kept his eyes on the door, curious. Ruby opened the door, and let chivalrously Yellow go through, wearing a red rockabilly dress with her hair down, then Sapphire with an asymetrical glorious silky dark red dress, and finally, Crystal.
She wore a dress in a really dark shade of blue, with golden specs Gold couldn't identify clearly, following the dress curves to the slit opening on her thighs like Blue's, but getting larger from there with frills, to end as a train behind her, showing a petticoat which seemed to be made of pure gold. His eyes went up the dress slowly, recognizing the golden sparks as stars, from the dress' slit to the other side of her chest, kind of like a formal scarf. His eyes met hers, he was surprised to find her uncomfortable, far from the full of confidence President. Gold gulped, his eyes following her hair down, a bit wavy, and decided it would be better for his image to stop staring, before he began to drool over her like an idiot.
