Dancing, Church and a cookout, Oh My!
Part 13 of Rose, the ENF exhibitionist
Saturday morning was nice and quiet, for a minute! Actually about an hour. We got up, showered and went down to find Mom, as always making breakfast. She said to stick around as she had some friends stopping by. We had no plans for most of the day, just the dance tonight, so no problem. Mom asked if we would be going to any "after" parties, meaning after the dance. For some reason, because we had no plans for that either, I said we probably would and might not get home at all, but promised we wouldn't get drunk, or anything too bad. She just smiled and said she had expected that, and told a few stories about her own prom and afterwards. Mom was kind of a wild girl, it seemed, and we all giggled at her tales. She had gone skinny dipping at 3 AM, with boys and everything! Who knew? Well, I had seen a few pics from her youth, and Mom was a hottie, and had "that" look in her eye, so I shouldn't be surprised. I was anyway, though. You just don't S think of your parents as having fun, or sex. Especially not sex. But they do, you must know that. I sure did, and even more this morning! Whew!
Then people started coming and going. First, a few women came by and dropped off capes, so we had outerwear for the evening. I had purple, Sion had green, and there was a child sized red one with a hood for Annie. We sure teased her about that, saying she better watch for the big bad wolf and all. Annie being herself, she stuck out her tongue, then showed us her bum. While standing on the counter, too. It was always rewarding to tease Annie! We thought we were done, but nope. Next up, two of Mom's friends came by and styled our hair, which took a couple of hours. They actually gave Annie a real cut, kind of short, but it made her look like the cute pixie she is, really. Sion and I were in awe, Annie usually looked like she cut her hair with nail scissors, and probably did, her mom had been pretty nuts. And her aunt and uncle were not the best people to care for a young girl at all.
Sion and I just got trims, a wash and lots of styling. Even Annie said we looked like angels, or even Valkyries now, our hair was so awesome, and now it matched us! So we both kissed her, of course, and a little more, too! Once we stopped fooling around, Mom said there were two more friends coming to do our makeup. I groaned, but only inside, because I won't argue with Mom when she has "that" look. No way! About twenty minutes later the front bell chimed and Mom went to bring in -- Gwen and Steph! I was surprised but pretty happy, I not only liked them, I trusted Gwen to not give me a clown face, and she always looked so perfect, I knew we were in good hands. They had brought a pretty big makeup case, and set up out on the patio, using natural light. Mom had long since sent Pop off for the day somewhere, telling him it was girls day. They worked and chatted, both with Mom and us, although we often could not reply or we could get accidental clown face. I was a little surprised when Gwen told us all we looked very happy but not to close doors, we could still find we liked guys too, or more than ladies. She did say after that she also thought we might be one of those couples that stayed together, even if we were a trio. Made me feel that she really cared about all of us, which was a nice feeling. Steph, ever practical told us not to drink too much, and be careful driving as everyone would not have common sense tonight.
Gwen said "Yes, we do not want to see stitches on these lovely bottoms, girls!"
We all assured them we would be careful, but we did plan to have fun too. Steph laughed and said that was the whole point of a dance like this and we were showing good sense. Then they said they were finished and asked Mom to get a mirror. We were seated facing away from each other, and as we turned and saw each other, there were gasps of delight! And when Mom brought out a hand mirror to pass around we all saw our own faces too.
I said "We all look like models! Real, grown up beautiful women!"
Gwen said we always looked that way to her, she and Steph only enhanced what we already had. We all thanked them both, and gave them hugs. They said no kissing til everyone gets a good look later, and Steph warned Annie to keep her face out of "things"! Sion and I giggled, knowing our laps were two of the things she meant! Now Mom began taking pictures, of course. And as time drew near we put on the capes and our individual jewelry. And Mom gave us necklaces that matched our earrings! We would have kissed her and promised to do so tomorrow. She took more pics, with just the jewelry and our sandals, then with the capes on too, and finally it was time to go. We were more careful than usual getting in the car, especially Annie who normally leaped in onto a lap. Tonight she eased into the back seat and buckled up, too.
I parked at the gym end of the lot, then we took the long walk around, but I planned to come straight across the lawns when we left. As we walked I reminded the ladies to remember our friends were Dr. Gillette and Sgt. Steph tonight, not Gwen and Steph. Annie thanked me for the reminder and said she would do her best. Inside we had a DJ, which was pretty cool as no one in school had a decent band I knew of. We also had a glitter ball high over the dance floor! Tacky these days, but to us it was the coolest thing there. There was also a box and ballot sheets to make your choice for King and Queen of the prom. So we each votes and dropped them in. I said I voted for Sion and also for Annie to be king and they laughed and said they voted the same, but for me to be queen! We picked out a table, and then I saw Ms. Johnson was running an improvised coat check at one end of the room, with racks and hangers. So I led Sion and Annie to the middle of the floor, and we did a couple steps then twirled and removed our capes! No applause but for a minute you could have heard a mouse fart in the corner, it was that quiet. Everyone was staring at us, even Gwen and Steph! I started to feel a little damp, if you get me. We carried our capes over to Ms. Johnson.
