Angel stared in the mirror, surprised at the person who stared back. "Wow..." He muttered in surprise at his appearance. The women behind smiled proudly over his shoulders. He brushed his fingers against his face marveling at his newfound look.

Mimzy and the girls hadn't done too much. His hair had been tied back into a low pony-tail. A heavier coat of black eyeliner and eye shadow was added. But what Angel-and the girls-liked most of all was the knee-length dusty pink summer dress he wore. The short sleeves lay at the sides just below his shoulders. Exposing his collarbone and upper back. Frills decorated the bust of the dress and sleeves.

This was the first in a long time he'd looked like a girl and enjoyed it.

"I'm glad the dress fits you." Mimzy commented, the dress wasn't snug as most 'feminine' clothing Angel wore. But rather comfortably loose enough.

He rarely ever tied his hair back, it felt nice like this. Even with his bangs swept to the side it was much more practical. While the long hair would help in his appearance, Mimzy had said it could be a hazard if Angel had to fight. Though, he liked that sort of thing so either way, it wouldn't have been much of a problem.

"I love it," Angel declared turning in his chair with the smiling breaking on his lips, unable to help it. "Thank you so much Mimzy!"

The short woman seemed happy, "you're very welcome. You certainly pull off that look." She said with approval. Turning to the other women, "I need to have a chat with Anthony alone if you don't mind? It's about things regarding his target." She explained.

They were packing away makeup and other equipment as she said this. Molly with a box in her arms of jewelry that they initially decided wasn't needed, answered, "alright." She looked at her brother. "I guess will see you later Toney?"

"Yes, you will see him later," Mimzy answered for him.

Cherri didn't say much grabbing some equipment helping with cleanup. The only thing she did say was, "Good luck Anthony." With a wink.

He wasn't sure why she winked but wrote it off as it just being her usual antics. As they left the room Angel shifted in his chair, continuing to gaze at his new appearance in the mirror. He couldn't help but continue smiling.

..I wonder how Alastor would react if I looked like this.

The thought came and flew and with it, his gleeful smile dropped. The bright expression changing in the mirror. He frowned, his eyes falling to the crystal around his neck. His hands cupped it as if one wrong move would destroy it.

He sighed, staring at the crystal's pink hue.

Why can't I just talk to him?

The hand on his shoulder caused him to flinch. Mimzy eyed him curiously, right she was in here. He'd forgotten; funny, apart of him wished the person behind him had been the brunette.

She looked at him through the mirror asking upon seeing his expression, "what's wrong?"

Angel huffed, if he had a penny for every time he'd heard that question on this trip so far. Well, he would have at least enough to get a candy bar. "It's nothin'." He brushed off as he had been.

Mimzy stared, the room falling quiet for a time. "...Okay." She said simply shrugging. Casually tightening his pony-tail and fetching some sort of flower for his hair.
