Sisters, Kinda

Honestly, What's the Difference Between a Lunch and a Luncheon

Sorry for any plot holes I just came up with this idea today. Maybe I'll fix it, maybe not idk this is gonna be pretty long ok enjoy!

After Nova's speech, the Council was hosting a luncheon for the Renegades, and a ball later that evening. It was an eventful day for the Renegades.

"Hey Nova?" Adrian looked at her curiously.

"Hm? Sorry, love. I was just thinking."

A few hours had passed since the lunch with all of the Renegades, and there were a few hours until the ball at HQ.

This wasn't like the gala, this was a new tradition created by Hugh and Simon.

An actual ball. It felt almost regal to Nova. It was strange, because she had lived her life only surviving in necessities.

Nova and Adrian were watching tv in his room for a while before they had to start getting ready. The movie had just ended when Nova suddenly said,

"Hey, Adrian? Oscars on his way, and you and him are getting ready together, right? With Max, Jade, and Sterling? I don't want to intrude or anything so I think I'll head to Ruby's. The rest of the ladies are getting ready there."

"Oh. Okay. Yeah that's totally fine. I'll leave you to your girl stuff."

"Thank you. You're the best, my love."

She planted a quick kiss on his mouth.

"Bye."

"Bye."

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Nova arrived at Ruby's apartment to hear very loud music playing from through the door.

Knock knock.

Ruby answered the door.

"HEYYYY NOVA!!" She shouted over the music.

Nova could hear Danna turn down some pop star from before the Age of Anarchy.

"Hey, Ruby. Can I get ready with you guys? I didn't want to intrude on boy time with the boys."

"Oh my stars, Nova. You don't have to ask. Come in! Narcissa's doing Maggie's makeup."

"Wait. Maggie's here?"

"Oh yeah! She's going to the ball with Jade, Sterling, and Max. As a group of friends."

"Oh that's fun." Nova didn't do much to hide the disdain in her voice.

"Be nice. She's like, 11." Danna joined in.

Danna was wearing a long gold ball gown that  complimented her dark skin. The dress was made of silk, with lace resting off the shoulders, and long sleeves. Her blonde dreads were down. She had a gold smoky eye look. She looked beautiful.

"Fine." Nova acquiesced. "You look beautiful, Danna."

"Thanks, Nova." Danna smiled.

Maggie walked out in a lacy long sleeved gown. The blue dress reached to her feet, and most of the dress had ruffles made of tulle that made it bigger. She had light make up on. Not to change her appearance, but to enhance her features. She had highlighter in the inner corners of her blue eyes, and mascara on her eyelashes. Her short, black hair still hadn't been brushed or styled. Her smile immediately faded when she saw Nova.

"Oh. Hi." Maggie said, in a tone that Nova didn't quite understand.

"Hello, Maggie," Nova said with a bright smile.

"So! How does she look?" Narcissa asked.

Narcissa was also dressed. She was wearing a light blue dress that complimented her red hair. Her hair wasn't styled yet, and her makeup wasn't done, but she looked stunning.

"Maggie, you look really nice." Nova admitted.

"Thank you." Maggie sat on the couch.

Danna started on Narcissa's makeup, and Ruby was doing her own.

Nova put on her own dress, which was navy blue. It was long and trailed behind her. The back of the dress was nonexistent, and came together to form long sleeves. She already had her makeup on, so she just retouched and added a little more. She was wearing eyeliner, highlighter in the inner corners of her blue eyes, mascara, and red lipstick to contrast the dress and her brown skin.

Nova walked out to the living room, where everyone else was still getting ready. Except Maggie. She was sitting on the couch watching a show with a tall blonde warrior princess and a cat lady.

She didn't seem to mind that everyone was busy, but Nova only had her own hair left to do, so she asked, "Maggie, would you like me to do your hair?"

"Not really. I am capable of brushing my own hair, and I didn't want to do much with it."

"Of course I know you're capable, but I don't mind doing it for you. Maybe pulling some of it back into a twist?" Nova's tone was softer than usual when talking to Maggie.

Maggie gave Nova that look again... of curiosity and confusion.

"Okay." She said.

"Cool. Come here. I have a hairbrush; you can just use mine."

"Why are you being nice to me?" Maggie asked as Nova was brushing her hair.

"Honestly, I don't know. I very strongly dislike you. You stole my bracelet. And you're not very nice to me." Nova replied. "But you're also only 11 years old. When I was 11, I cant even begin to describe my life."

"Truce for tonight?" Nova proposed.

"Fine."
