"Its ok hun...you dont have to come i just wanted to see if i could chear you up...Makeovers usually help," She said with her famous smile.
"What makeover?" Brendon and Lorry both asked at the same time and then glared at each other simultaneously for stealing the others thunder.
"Ah, ah, ah, no boys allowed," She tisked.

Mari nodded smiling slightly, "Yeah...okay....I'll talk to you another time...I think i need to go with the make over...." Mair said softly.

"So you still want to be...um...done up?" She asked to the infinite confusion of the others around them.

Mari nodded with a smile, "Yeah I think it could really help...."

"Well ill be happy to have you dear," She said with a happy go lucky smile.
"Can I coooome?" Brendon whiled, suddenly getting on his sugar high.
"Nope," She said chipperly.

Mari smiled gratefully letting herself suppress the bad thoughts and be happy. At least for the while.

Ellie giggled as the bell rang and fluttered over to Mari with the most giddy demeanor imaginable. With one quick swipe of her thin hands, which did in fact look like a girls to a degree, took Mari's arm into her own and pulled the younger girl along.
"Oh were going to have fuuun," She giggled.

Mari giggled lightly as she was dragged. She waved quickly goodbye to her friends knowing should wouldn't talk or see them till school Monday.

Kiro and Valone looked at the scene with slight confusion, "If E liked girls Alex I'd be worried..." Kiro said tilting her head trying to see what the two could possibly be going off to do.

Misa looked at Kiro, "Their probaly going to go rehearse together or something...they do have a good number of scenes together..."

"Well its Ed-I mean Ellie, so the chances of her whisking Mari away are slim to none," She said with a chuckle.
"I dont know, Ellie does have a nice ass," Brendon said shoving another cookie in, "And her hair is soft like a bunnies" He turned to Lorry then with big blue eyes and pleaded, "TELL ME ABOUT THE RABBITS GEORGE!"
Lorry, without missing a beat, jumped right into character, "You crazy son-of-a-bitch, you forget every damn word i say sept for those rabbits"
"Dork," Alex chuckled and poked her blond buddy.
"Shut up!" Lorry snapped playfully.

"Wait....if Lorry's George...and Brendon's the dumb one....who's the guy who wears the Vaseline glove?" Valone asked.

"....Josie..." Lorry said with a grin.
"OH FUCK OFF!" Josie snapped.
"Aha! Point proven," He said triumphantly.

Ellie let go of her death grip on Mari after a little wile but held onto her hand lightly as they strode across the school parking-lot. In no time the two had reached what could only be assumed to be Ellie's car, or truck rather and unlocked the door. Even though she was on the taller side she had to hop up rather high to get into the blue Ford Ranger.
"Jump in!" She chirped.

Valone patted Josie's head kissing him, "Oh relax...."
The others giggled agreeing.

***

Mari smiled nodding as he hopped in, "Cool...I don't think I've been in a truck before..." She said looking around happily.

"Hard to do when your around jack asses like this," Josie huffed.
"I could say the same thing about him," Lorry whispered to Alex who elbowed him again.

---

"Really?" She asked with a look of confusion, "Well i practically live in the thing, my dad runs a landscaping business, which is why it has that faint ode du manure that you've probably already noticed, and once upon a time when he was just starting out this was his only vehicle, when he expanded i got it. All i have to do is pay for gas and i get to sleep in and skip the bus. And even though trucks aren't really my style this thing is the Hulk of all cars in the winter. Seriously i think this thing is invulnerable."
She laughed and started the car, the little Bubbles from The Power Puff Girls plushy that was suctioned cupped to the wall giggled around as they pulled out.

"Poor baby...come home with me then you don't have to be around them..." Valone said smiling.


***
"Really that's so cool...my rents would never get me a car...I'd probaly run away...." She shook her head lightly. Mari then smiled looking at the Bubbles, "I love Bubbles....Buttercup was always my favorite though...."

"I fucking hate them..." He growled.
"BUT I LOVE YOU!" Brendon chirped.
"Fuck you!"
"UP THE ASS! UP THE ASS!" He giggled.

---

"Yea well my parents are pretty low key, besides, they know i wont run away i love them too much and where would i get my food?" She laughed, "Yea, im a bit of a sucker for those toys, last week i had Sailor Moon and Venus on the back but the the power-puff girls were my favorite show as a kid so they get first spot.
"I can see why youd like Buttercup, Bubbles of course was my favorite of course. I was actually going to get them all, but you see I got my little Bubbles when i won that water shooting race thing at Dorney Park but of course i couldnt win again so alas," She said and raised a hand dramatically to her brow.

Valone chuckled lightly, "Then let's go Skeletor!" She said looking at him.

***

Mari smiled as she listened to Eille talk happily. She loved listening to people rant on their life and things that had happened in them. She laughed, "Yeah I one a fish once...then it died...." She sighed, "I've one stuffed bears too sometimes..."

"Thank god," He growled.

---

"Yea, my fish never lived, died almost as soon as they got into the bowl," She said sadly as they pulled into a short driveway that appeared to be her place. It was a small house, made of red brick and cream colored siding but it was only one story. "Say," She said turning the car off and hopping out, "Have you ever won that frog game? Where you smack the lilly pad and try to get it onto the platforms?" She asked curiously and

Valone smiled dragging Josie off, "Yep!"

***

"No never! My cousin did once though...." Mari said as she got out, "I suck at that game though it pisses me off..."

"Whats up with him?" Alex asked.
"Mhadhhfah," Brendon said inaudibly through his cookie.
"Well put Brendon, well put," Lorry said laughingly.

---

"Well hed be the first one ive heard of," She said with a giggle, "That game is impossible.

Mari nodded, "Yeah it was after like 500 tries by yeah the owner looked pissed..."

"Why would he be pissed? You guys were prorbably his best customer," She said with a giggle and opened up the door to the house. Inside it was your average suburban home. Nice furniture, a nice size television in the family room, pictures of every family member on the walls and desk, and a nice kitchen.
Ellie led her past all this and eventually took her to her own room.
It was very nice room with navy blue wallpaper that was meant to be masculine but she had arranged it to somehow look more feminine than pink. The bed was large and fluffy but had quite a few stuffed animals aranged around it, none of them seemed to be out of order though. To the side was a leather chair that looked like it could suck you into its comfy abyss and a large desk and bookcase for her to do her homework at.
"So...shall we begin?" She said with a smile and clapped her hands once in anticipation.

Mari nodded eagerly. She loved Ellie's room. "Yep sounds good...." She said fingering her somewhat long hair thoughtfully. It was strange for her some girls got cold feet about cutting their hair but not Mari. She loved it. Maybe it was part of her problem where she always wanted to be some one other than herself. Which is why she loved acting and rping. She nodded again looking at Ellie, "I'm totally excited!"

"Good!" She chirped, "Now...for hair, we need it to work with the play so it cant be too short...hm...curly? Not curly? what do you think? Itll be easier to manage if its straighter...and probrably more boyish, but at the same time curly will throw people off that its actually you..."

"Hmmm what about short...and black..." Mari said thinking as she looked at herself.

"Mmm...i might have to look around for the hair dye...but...wait! Wait! My parents have some!" She said excitedly, "Alright we can do this!"
