For some reason Destiny didn't seem to be scared. Maybe deep down she knew Myrtle wouldn't show up. But a strange feeling that she actually wanted Myrtle there.
She walked over to where Evelyn was sitting and started to take of her now green and silver bumblebee wings.
'Well she could be in the prefects bathroom or the boys bathroom, but that's not doing us any good since we can't get in them.' Frowning she sat down next to Evelyn. 'But there is a room. My brothers told me about it. The Spirit Room I think. We can't get into that room either but the door will open.' Stupid idea of a room, just for the ghosts.

"The spirit room? I've never heard of it." A room just for ghosts. Huh. Who would have thought? Stretching out her legs, Evelyn blinked her icy clue eyes and stared up at the high ceiling. "Alright, we'll go there next if Myrtle doesn't show up here." Closing her eyes again, she almost drifted off to sleep. Ever since that voice in her head disappeared, she wasn't able to sleep at night. The voice would usually loll her to sleep or do something, but since it wasn't there...no story telling, singing, or telling of random facts to go to sleep. Just snores from the other girls...

"Myyrrtllle..." she called quietly, almost looking as if she was sleep talking. 'Wonder what Josh is doing...probably comfy sitting by a warm fire.' Which sounded extremely nice at the moment. "So how have you been?" she asked Destiny, not budging an inch and keeping her ear out for any sound that would mean that Myrtle was there.

The spirit room was not something Destiny looked forward too. She nodded when Evelyn said they will check that next. The thought of even more ghosts sent shivers down her spine.

Destiny was uncomfortable. Her costume was still on, minus the wings, and she was sitting on the cold floor. Next costume party she would dress warmer. Just in case something like this happens again.
'How have I been? Besides sitting here waiting for a ghost?' 'I've been good. You know keeping up with all this homework.' she said playing with the bumblebee wings. 'How about you? You look like you could use some sleep.' But then it could just be that vampire look.

'Jeez Myrtle, where are you??'

"Good." Evelyn replied, nodding her head slightly. "Seems like they are giving us a lot more homework now huh." Smiling, she turned and stared at the other girl, particularly her outfit. "Nice." she said, laughing a little. "Maybe I'll be a bee next Halloween party." Not really, but it was a fun idea.

"I've been good. Tired. Actually could get a decent night sleep. Plus with all the homework on top of that, and slightly nervous since the Professor's wands seem to have gone missing...I don't want to lose my wand too." It was still tucked safely in the sleeve of her Jacket, she could feel it which relieved her somewhat. "Herbology practically killed me." Evelyn was attached a little too much to her wand, and she just about had to force herself not to tackle the Professor to get it back. Would've ended baaadllly if the class had continued longer than it did.

Destiny laughed when Evelyn said she will be a bee. 'Just not a yellow bee, right? If you ever see a green and silver bee, besides me right now, let me know!' she laughed as she stared at her outfit.

'It feels like I'll never get done my homework.' What were the professors thinking, giving first years so much work?
Then Evelyn mentioned wands. It seemed to Destiny that none of the professors had their wands. 'The charms professor lost his wand in the middle of class! And no one saw it? Seems a little odd. And now with this killing..' she trailed off. She didn't want to think about that, but that was the reason they were sitting in the bathroom waiting for Myrtle. 'Herbology was a crazy class, huh? What has gotten into everyone?' Yes, even Destiny herself acted a tad bit strange in that class, but she wouldn't mention it. Even the thought of what she did made her cheeks go red.

Arianna looked suspiciously at the heel on the shoe " I'm supposed to wear this?" she asked completely taken back. She had NEVER wore those outside an wedding, weren't they supposed to be ceremonial? She eyed the skirt, it looked ok, but she had some questions about the blouse, nevertheless, it was the shoe that was making her nervous.

She sighed and entered one of the cubicles. A few minutes later she came out, her old clothes in her arm, which she gently laid on one of the sinks. She could walk surprisingly well on those shoes, which made her want to giggle. " Look!" she exclaimed, pacing back and forward, showing off " I can walk on these!" she said and laughed piroetting, almost loosing her balance and grabbing the sink for support.

"Let's just not try anything more than walking.." she murmured a little flustered. She just then eyed those things Alex had in her hands now. They looked like torture instruments. " What are those for?" she asked curiously while the gazed at herself in the mirror. Was that really her? She looked so... girl'ish.

Snickering, Evelyn nodded her head again. "Will do!" she said, saluting Destiny before going limp and just relaxing. *queue the big long happy sigh*

It was somewhat chilly in the room, she could feel the cold floor starting to get to her legs, numbing them even though she wore jeans. 'Can't even be warm inside. Who makes a bathroom cold anyway!?' Squeezing her eyes closed, she opened them and blinked a few times before standing up and looking in the mirror. Yup, they were back to their normal hazel color. Good, the icy blue was starting to make her eyes feel weird anyway.

"I noticed you and that broom. What did you think you were gunna do? Or that would even work?" Evelyn laughed, remembering the incident. "I'm surprised the Professor didn't put you in detention for the rest of the year. Could of hurt her 'precious plant'." she said sarcastically, finding it hard to believe how, or even why, someone would put up with the devilish plant. 'Evil, dangerous, ugly thing.' Which reminded Evelyn of her Lyla plant. 'So much better than the devils snare. And even looks better too.' So maaaaybeee Evelyn was lightening up to plants, now that she had to take care of one that is. "But thanks. For trying to get me out."

"Let's wait a few more minutes to see if Myrtle shows up and if she doesn't, we'll head to the spirit room place that you were talking about. If we can find it though...got any clue as to where it is?" Evelyn asked, leaning against the sink and turning the facet on, playing with the water slightly bored.

'I don't know what broom you are talking about..' Destiny joked as she felt her cheeks going red. 'I guess I thought that plant was going to eat you. It really wasn't a great idea I guess.' she said rubbing her ankles where that devil's snare had slapped and left bruises and thinking a years detention would be better than having a go at the demon snare. 'I did whack it pretty hard though.' and she also knew why Bunbury had taken their wands away. Suddenly slapping her forehead, Destiny remembered, 'Crud! I forgot to water Bunbury!'

Now standing up and walking back to the toilets Destiny re-checked to see if Myrtle decided to finally show up. 'I think the Spirit Room is near the prefects bathroom. What is that, the fifth floor?' She really hoped Myrtle would show up. She did not like the idea of the Spirit Room.

Alex giggled a little as she looked at Arianna. "Yes you are! Don't worry, it will be fine.. just go try them on!" She said with a soft giggle as she urged the younger girl into the cubicle.. She smiled as she came out.
"Look at you!!" She exclaimed softly as she wanted the girl prance about in the heels.. "See, I knew you could do it.. Whoa!! Careful!" Alex cautioned as Arianna lost her balance. "We shall have to have lessons walking in heels later." She said smiling as she beckoned her forward.

"These are for your hair silly." She said as she took up a stance behind the girl, and started to gently run a brush through her hair, It took her awhile, but she finally managed to get all the tangles out, after that she took out the straightener, and started to straighten the girls hair. "See look at yourself now." Alex said with a proud smile, Arianna's hair was only half done and already it looked ten times better.

Evelyn raised a brow when Destiny denied the broom, but then smirked when she spoke about it. "I thought so too..." Now it was Evelyn's turn to blush. She did act kinda crazy in Herbology. If she just calmed down like everyone said then none of that would have happened...But the plant freaked her out! It was all...vine-y, and cold, and it moved and strangled and killed people! Like that one guy in St. Mungos or whatever happened.

Looking down at Destiny's ankles, which were covered so Evelyn had no clue how hard the snare hurt her friend, she suddenly heard a "smack". Quickly looking to Destiny, she saw the girl's hand on her head, looking quite put out. When she spoke though, Evelyn had no choice but to start laughing. "I still can't believe..." more laughing, "...you named your plant..." laugh laugh laugh "...BUNBURY!" Holding onto the sink so she wouldn't fall down from laughing so hard, she finally got control of herself and breathed in deeply, hoping she wouldn't fall into another fit of laughter any time soon. They were on some serious business for house points! No time for games!

Finally after calming down a bit more, she turned and leaned against the sink and just stared at the stall in front of her. No one saw that little display of crazy laughing...nope nope nope. Suddenly thinking of her own bruises, which she couldn't feel because her whole body was numb from cold now, when Destiny stood up, Evelyn quickly moved the sleeve of her jacket up for a second, showing the dark marks surrounding her arm. They were everywhere on her, stopping just at the line of her where the neck of her shirt stopped. Pulling the sleeve back down, Evelyn shut off the running water and started to slowly walk around.

"Yea, the prefect's bathroom is on the fifth floor." she said tiredly. 'Great, more stairs to climb.' Crossing her arms to maybe get a little warmer, she started towards the door. "Well, Myrtle isn't here so, let's go to the spirit room place." Leaning up against the door, she waited for Destiny to come, taking a hair band out of her pocket and putting her hair up so it wouldn't get in the way.

ooc: first of all, I've just noticed, why is everyone screaming or with their mouths open on the SS banner? xD

"Right" she said, keeping her self steady as Alex dug in her hair with those strange instruments. She could feel heat emanating from it, and when she looked in the mirror, there was a half of her she didn't recognize any more " Is that me?" she asked in wonder touching the silky smooth hair on her left side. She turned to look at Alex. She had no words to thank her enough. She looked good enough to impress someone, at least she was impressed.

"Thank you, so much you're a godess!" she exclaimed hugging her impulsively then stepping back straightening her blouse and skirt " I'm sorry, please, continue!" she urged.

Theo is not going to know what hit him. She grinned at her reflection, neither will Rafe.

Destiny turned around when Evelyn started laughing, which of course made her laugh too. But they did have a serious matter to take care of, finding this ghost.
'Wow, they are some horrible bruises..' she said when she noticed Evelyn's bruises, hers didn't look no where near as bad as Evelyn's.

Oh no, the Spirit Room. 'Okay. I'm ready. Lets go.'
Destiny took a deep breath and walked out the door.

Evelyn stared at the door when Destiny left. Woops, she wasn't intending to have the other girl see the bruises. She was actually embarrassed by them, trying to find a way to cover them up so she could actually wear a short sleeve shirt since it was starting to get a little warmer outside now.

Sighing, she had no clue where the spirit room was located on the fifth floor. 'Somewhere near the prefect bathroom.' she thought, and that's pretty much all she knew. Hoping Destiny knew the way, Evelyn opened the door and followed her out.

Alex giggled softly as she continues to run the Straightener down Arianna's hair. "Of course that is you." She said with a nod as she had to move the straightener away as Arianna hugged her. She returned the girl's embrace quickly.

"Thank you, you are too sweet really, and I like doing this. It's fun and exciting! What girl doesn't like a makeover?" She asked smiling as she laughed a bit more. "Okay.. We are almost done, I just need to finish this side, curl it a bit.. and then comes the makeup." She grinned widely "No one is going to recognize you when I am done." She smiled at her as she started on the other side of Arianna's hair.

Arianna nodded with satisfaction, but then a doubt occurred to her " will I have to do this, everyday?" she asked a big afraid of the answer. She wasn't sure she could do that herself. She knew the theories of course, and she could totally match the clothes, but the hair and face...

She was looking amazing, her face, once funny with all the wide wilde "fur" not hair, covering her head, now she had hair, and it was shinny, dark chocolate, in soft waves instead of those tsunamis.

She giggled a little and played with one of them.
"This really looks amazing, could you give me some advise on how to.. keep it?"

Alex smiled a little as she heard Arianna's question. It was a valid question though, and with those curls that she had, the answer was most likely yes. "Well, it depends really on how you want to wear your hair that day." She said softly as the hot iron slipped through Arianna's hair. "If you want it straight, then yes. However, when you get out of the shower, you could put this stuff on it.." She pulled out a bottle of Madame Primpernelle's curl soultions and handed it to her. "Put this on it, and it will tame the curls, making then nice and bouncy, and not so wild. Just put that stuff on it, and let it dry. No need to brush it even."

Alex put the straightener down and ran a brush through Arianna's now perfectly straight, shiny, soft chocolate brown hair. The girl was really pretty when she wanted to be. She wouldn't have to put much make up on her at all.

"Of course.. Now with the makeup, I am going to go really light, for you being young don't need much. That is the problem with alot of girls these days. They put too much makeup on instead of playing up their good features." Alex nodded as she pulled out a tube of shiny dark pink lip gloss. "First we will put this on.." She applied the lip gloss, it had barely enough color to be seen.. It just gave her lips a nice tint..

"Now, this.." She pulled out some black eyeliner and some mascara.. "The trick to this, is to not overload on the eyeliner, I know it is tempting, but don't. To much eyeliner and you look bad.." She carefully applied the eyeliner and the mascara to Arianna's eyes.

She stood back and surveyed her work.. Not bad.. Not bad at all.. "There, I think you are done." She said with a satisfied smile as she leaned on the counter.

Arianna gazed at the girl in the mirror in wonder, even though her nose was almost touching the glass. Who as she, she was pretty, she could almost dare to say beautiful, her skin was pale, it looked soft, she had long defined lashes and her hair was straight, shiny and soft. And she looked elegant, like a grown up, more like she was 15 rather than 12.

She sighed and looked round. She put her glasses on again a little unsure. She looked in the mirror now, the full picture looked pretty ok, and the glasses weren't that bad after all, not like that at least.

She looked at Alex and smiled, the first pleasant, truthful smile " Thank you!" she breathed out softly, squeezing her hand. " I'll never forget everything you taught me here, and I'll definitely use all that you've gave me!" she had her vision full of little crystals, that danced in her eyes.

She looked at the girl in the mirror once more. She just had to go take a walk around the school and show off her new looks.

Talking a step after the other she waved Alex goodbye and let the bathroom.
