"How do people even do this??" I hold the eyeliner close to my eye, but I pull it away out of pure terror. If I screw this up, then everything will be ruined. I already spent 45 minutes on this mediocre makeup look, and I'm not doing it again because I can't paint a line on my eyelids.

I drop my head in dismay, and let out a aggravated sigh.

"The struggle is real, sister." Star comes up behind me, eyeliner in hand. She easily does small winged liner and I'm just..SHOOK. I thank her as she joins me in doing our makeup.

My (eye color) eyes gleams as i look at the final product. A red shadow accompanied by a light nude color. I put some silver in my inner corner of my eye to give me that 'poppin' effect. In a rush, I take my clothes off while walking to my room (unintentionally forgetting there are two dense males roaming the house) Throwing on the dress, I admire myself in the mirror.

For once, I look hella good. Like, my wig is snatched. I laugh at myself for using these terms. As Marco calls it, I've become a 'memer' and I already feel like I'm advancing in the world.

As much as I want to be extra and put on 6 inch heels, I decide to put on a pair of black flats. They're basic, yet stylishly cute. I look around for some jewelry that I might have when I see something glimmer out of my eye.

It's pretty unnoticeable at first glance, but attached to the bag I brought was my necklace. I nearly forgot about it; I'm not really sure where I got it, but I've always had it. I clutch the necklace in my hand lightly. This is too important, no way can I wear this...

"(Y-n)!" I feel a warm body pressed up behind mine. Dropping the necklace discreetly, I greet my demon boy.

I look up into Tom's red eyes. Of course, he's  being his cute self as he cuddles up to me. He just makes me feel bubbly when he acts this way. To everyone else, he's pretty aggressive so it makes me feel special that he only shows this side to me. Actually, I'm reading way too much into this...

"Hmm you're cute, but something's missing.." Tom reaches down towards my chest and I close my eyes in response. My body tenses up from his touch, I await his hands but instead I feel cold metal against my skin.

I open my eyes and gaze down to see a necklace. My eyes gape open at how beautiful it is. It's a heart with a diamonded moon hanging from the middle, dazzling with silver as I hold it in my hands. I can feel tears welling up, but I hold them back because I worked too hard on this makeup to ruin it now.

I then then around and pull Tom in a tight embrace. My arms wrapped around his neck as he hesitantly places his on my waist, returning the hug.

"Thank you Tom." I smile. "It better not have been expensive because you know I'm going to buy you something that costs just as much as this."

He chuckles," I expected you to say that. Don't worry, you can afford it." Tom tries to avoid ruffling my hair since I worked hard to make it look presentable. From a distance, our favorite duo yells back and forth.

"WHY AM I DRESSED AS A DRAG QUEEN."

"aaHhhhhhHHH WRONG SPELL. HOLD ON..UHHHH"

"WHAT THE— WHY IS THIS SUIT MADE OF YUGIOH CARDS?!?"

"STOP PRESSURING ME MARCO DIAZ!" 

Tom and I break into fits of laughter as we hear Marco and Star from downstairs. I get lost into thought as I listen to them. I'm just hoping this dance can bring those two closer together. I mean, it's obvious they have feelings for each other and let's be honest here, we've been waiting for this ship to sail for 3 seasons now. I mean... oh noooo 4th just got demolished. Let's just slap some tape on that.

"Why do they call it the 4th wall? They know the floor counts too..so it's technically like the 5th wall. " Tom randomly says.

"You read my mind, and that's your response?"

"Oh nooooo self aware character..." Tom whispers, as we both snicker to ourselves.

"Well anyway, I hope Starco becomes canon too." He winks, "and maybe a little Tom x (y/n) if you know what I mean."

I shove him gently as I crack up. "You wish."

We walk downstairs to see Marco and Star, dressed to compliment each other's outfits. Star's dress is red with light red lining it, embroidered with white hearts. A white ribbon ties around her waste and her white thigh boots pull the look together as Marco wears a white suit, with a red tie to match Stars.

"You dress to impress don't ya?" Tom comments, "though I personally prefer the Yugioh suit more."

Tom continues to tease Marco as we enter the carriage run by the.. not dead horse?  Star and I chatter amongst ourselves as Marco teaches Tom how to play Uno. It was really funny when Tom couldn't tell the difference between a 6 and a 9, for which I can relate. We blissfully live the early night away, happily. Our cheerfulness carries through the dark sky.

Nothing could cause despair on a perfect night like this one.

Fufufufufu.
