Pirates in Love-The Second Bandit

Rivals

I'm changing into the dress that I'm wearing going to be wearing tonight. The competition starts in an hour but the performers have to be there early.

I slip into the red dress and look in the mirror. I do my hair by tying it up into a bun but I leave my side fringe out.

I put on my high heels and look at myself in the mirror. Not too bad. I turn around to look at my back and gasp.

"*gasp* Oh no..." This is not good...

Russell POV

We're waiting on the deck for Kimura to finish getting dressed. She said that this was a fancy kind of thing and we had to put on tuxedos.

"Why do women take so long?" Eduardo says and I shrug.

"Who knows, maybe she's secretly plotting to kill us all tonight?" I say and Nathan hits me on the back of the head.

"Hey Nate! What was that for?"

"Oh Russell, I didn't see ya there." he says and I glare at him, rubbing the back of my neck. I know he did that on purpose.

"I wonder what Miss Kimura will look like?" Thomas says,

"I think she'll look really pretty." Christopher says and Captain smiles.

"A woman like her should look striking in a dress." he says laughing.

"A woman like me?" We suddenly hear Kimura's voice and turn around, wow she looks... gorgeous.

Shes wearing a long, red dress with an open back and her hair down covering her shoulders.

"Wow you look really pretty Miss Kimura!" Thomas compliments her, yeah she looks pretty, but I obvviously can't say that.

"Ya actually look like a woman." I say. She comes right up to me and punches me in the arm.

"Do I punch like one?"

"Nope." I say rubbing my arm, geez everyones picking on me today.

Kimura Pov

"A woman like her would look striking in a dress.'' I hear captain say as I walk onto the deck.

"A woman like me?" I say to let evryone know Im here, their eyes burst open.

What do I look bad? I had to put my hair down to cover my back, is it not neat?

"Wow you look really pretty Miss Kimura!" Thomas suddenly says, I start to blush. Well I think I look fine.

"Ya actually look like a woman." Russel says, you know what Im gonna wipe that smirk right off his face. I walk up to him and punch him in the shoulder, hard.

"Do I punch like one?"

"Nope." He answers me, rubbing his arm.

"No but really, ya look stunnin." Nathan says and the blush comes back.

"Thanks, but you guys look good too." I say, Captain laughs heartily and puts an arm around me.

"Haha, this woman really is a people pleaser!" he says, smelling of alcohol. Ah some things will never change.

"Okay guys, we need to go." I say, they nod their heads and start walking off the ship. While walking off the ship I sneak a side glance at Eduardo. I don't hate him or anything, I actually really like him... But someone who loves me must want to get their heart broken right now.

We arrive at the concert hall, where the Talent comeptiton is. We walk inside and the place is basically round, decorated tables surrounded by chairs and a stage for the performance. There is also a little space in the corner for the band (who arent competing) to play.
