Siren (Umbrella Academy 7.5)

Allison and Madelina

Madelina frowned, seeing Allison staring at her. "What?"

Allison continued studying her sister. "I should give you a makeover."

"Why do I need a makeover? Aren't I fine the way I look?"

Allison nodded. "You are perfect the way you are. I'm just kind of bored, and Vanya's busy with the violin. Please?"

Madelina sighed. "Sure. But none of that heavy duty makeup, okay?"

"You got it. I don't have a lot of heavy duty makeup anyway."

Madelina followed Allison to her room and sat on the chair.

Allison started applying makeup to Madelina's face, the latter periodically wincing at the strange feeling of various brushes coming in contact with her eyes.

When Allison finished, she picked out a dress. "Here. Put this on."

Madelina looked at the dress. "Allison, are you sure? This is one of your favorites."

"It's for the look. We're roughly the same size."

"Roughly? I'm shorter than you."

"Just try it on, okay? It's a short dress. It should be fine."

"Fine," Madelina grumbled.

She went into the bathroom and slipped on the dress.

When she came out, Allison was wearing another of her favorite dresses, holding a pair of short heels.

"Put these on," Allison instructed. "We're going to have a photo shoot."

Madelina did as Allison said and looked at herself in the mirror. "You know, I don't look half bad."

Allison smiled. "No. You look absolutely stunning, Madi. See what happens when you take time to doll yourself up?"

"Doll myself up? Who says that?"

"Me. Now, come on. Let's take some photos."

The two of them took countless photos. They ranged from intimidating to dazzling to silly to pretending to be scared.

After they finished, Madelina pulled off the heels and grinned. "That was a lot of fun. Thanks, Allison."

Allison smiled. "It was a lot of fun. I just figured maybe we should hang out a bit, since we don't really get to spend a lot of time together."

"Well, this was nice. I'd be up for doing it again sometime."

"I would too."
