004--Cinderella. Sort of.

[Rose is wearing a ballgown, all done up, and looking sort of flustered.

And she's missing a shoe.]

Definitely easier to hide here than in the hedges. Someone always finds me when I'm--

[Cut off by her phone ringing, playing 'Brown Eyed Girl' as the ringtone]

....oh, no. It's Mum. [Presses the ignore button] She really needs to find a hobby that doesn't involve setting me up with every pretty boy she's introduced to.

Plan A is waving around the banana. Plan B is Mickey creating a distraction. [and suddenly sounds proud] Oooh, a plan B! Always wanted to try that.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You saying I should skip plan A and go straight to plan B? [Yes, she is humoring him!]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That's a bit tough, eh? Bananas or Mickey...

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Mickey'd work better, but I don't think he wants to go along with it. [Phone beeps] Jake says he would, if Mickey would let go of him.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

But it doesn't sound like Mickey will, though.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Well, considered Jake used the word "deathgrip...."

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That might be a 'no', yeah.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I think so.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What will you do then, Rose?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Can't I just hide here for another hour or so?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[grins] Don't see why not.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I could do that, then. [Grins back]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

And so Cinderella misses the ball.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Cinderella didn't want to be there in the first place.

....Cinderella doesn't even look like Cinderella, really.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Nah, Cinderella didn't get to look as gorgeous. Though you did both lose a shoe...

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Have another sitting down tackle] You think so? You're the best.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[laughs, hugging her] 'Course I do. Missing shoe and all.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Hugs FTW] Thanks.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[hugs are just awesome] Too bad to waste a dress, though.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Hugs rock toe socks] Waste the dress?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Dunno about you but if I'm in fancy dress, I'd best have a reason to be. Might have something to do with the cursed tux, though.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Not still wearing that thing, are you? I thought I got rid of it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, it's...in the wardrobe somewhere. Haven't brought it out in a long while.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Last time I brought it out was for a fancy party Martha and I went to, actually, about...oooh, a year ago? Ish?
