Fashion, Etc. Etc. Ad Naseum!

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was set up like a runway in Milan. There were lights! There was noise! There were stick figures with big poofy lips complaining as their hair was put up into ridiculous coifs backstage with the students!

"Hello, darlings," Edna said, wheeling the rack of costumes (save one, naturally) into the room. "You have all proven to be...mostly adequate...these last few weeks in terms of creativity and not being blown up. Today you will demonstrate the lines and flow of my beautiful costumes!" Her hands flew up over her head.

"...which you also helped to design, et cetera, et cetera," she finally added. "Get changed, listen for the music and then strut, darlings! Try not to trip over things and end up on Youtube." She pointed at Shilo. "And you. You are very lucky not to be shot full of lasers yesterday. Detention for breaking into my workshop!"

With that she disappeared through the curtain to join the audience.

It was totally like that!

"Right!" Yay! Momoko added a bigger, happier bounce to her last few steps and managed to not fall down only by the virtue of having a firm grip on Francine. "Ready, then?"

Yeeh, Francine would be trying to avoid bouncing. She'd fail, but she'd try. "Ready." COUGH. "Ready!"

Re: Walk the runway!

But bouncing is good for the sole soul!

Momoko grinned and stopped dead in her tracks. It was time! She let go of Francine and took a step to the side, waving her arms in a choppy but totally heroic manner before striking her earlier pose again. "Alright! Let's go!"

Which is the start of every good hero team battle cry and sound-off, don't you know.

Francine saluted and dropped her hands to her hips, back to back with Momoko. "Fighting Lovelies!"

Yuuup, dork. Doooooooork. Maybe if she pictured the audience nak-- no.

Momoko was far from feeling like a dork. Sure it was just on a stage, but she was in her (third) battle costume, posing with another superhero, about to utter their team's battle theme! Okay, so maybe they weren't really teammates, but it felt totally good and familiar and right to do this.

"Red and Pink! For Justice... Happiness... Love!"

"And cupcakes!" That part of it, Francine could manage. Except for how she got it wrong. But. Cupcakes!

PERFECT! Momoko grinned! Francine was a natural! Exit, stage left, and maybe there would be glomping... And possibly a brief demonstration for Francine on the proper times and ways to insert a V-sign or a salute into heroic poses. Advanced stuff, yeah, but Momoko was sure Francine could handle it.
