Long ago, when European royals grew bored with palace balls they took a page from the peons and added some pageantry. Couture and canapé are just another Saturday night.
Until you add a mask.
But preparing for a hall, is an event itself which is why queens invented handmaidens.
Nia was currently Josie's little assistant and she was already on it helping her for the ball.
"So the dresses should be delivered and I'll take the small stuff with me." Nia tells the guy.
"Which one's yours?" He asks.
"Oh, mo I'm just helping Josie but I mean you know we'll see." She say with a small chuckle.
"Well.. here's hoping." He says showing her a bracelet.
He then puts it on, on her.
"We'll put it on Josie's tab." He says but Nia moves her hand.
"Oh, no no no." She says.
But he stops her.
"The girls at that party are my best customers. Why not show off my latest wares? Just return it after the ball." He tells her and Nia sighs and accepts the deal.
Let's see how that ends up.

Josie and Lizzie on the other hand are in bed after sleeping over talking about the plans for the ball.
And dresses of course.
"It's a masquerade you have to conceal your identity but I do have something special planned for Landon tonight. It's a game, it's a scavenger hunt." Josie tells Lizzie.
Lizzie chuckles.
"Landon starts the night with a clue.. which leads him to a lady in waiting who gives him a clue to the next lady.." Josie says and this time Lizzie cuts her off.
"Wait, hold on you have ladies now?" She asks but Josie ignores the question.
"If he finds me before midnight, when the masks come off.. he can claim his price." Josie says happily.
"And what's that?" Lizzie asks.
Josie wiggles her eyebrows and Lizzie gets the memo.
