Cat blushed as the maid commented on how much she was talking and made a little dig at her clumsiness. It made her wonder about this predetermined relationship with the maid, wether there was a genuine bond, or if it was just a job to Maria. "What kind of place are we eating at? Will I need to change?", she asked, lightly tugging the loose skirt of her white dress. Being a rich girl was very different to her original teenage years, the clothes especially. "Can we go to the comic book store?". Cat's eyebrows knitted in confusion as Maria spoke of going to meet people after they were done signing... something, but before she could ask about it, the limo pulled up infront of them. "Woah... ", she gapsed. She'd figured out that her new Father was rich, although perhaps she hadn't quite realised just how rich yet. Her eyes widened behind her glasses as the reflective windows of the car acted like mirrors, and gave her a first proper look at herself. "Oh my god.. ". Leaning forward a little she squinted, "I still look like... me!". She'd slowly been adjusting to the fact she'd somehow being transformed back into a kid, although it seemed to make it even more embarrassing to see her own face on that kid's body. Well, a much more youthful version of her face. She recalled how her reflection used to look, tall, curvy figure dressed in smart mature business clothes... and it made her current situation even more cringeworthy. Her cheeks went red, and she squirmed a little, brushing a hand down over her hip, "I'm so skinny... ", she murmured as the doors opened, and she was pushed inside. Once more, her not being used to wearing such loose fitting clothing meant that as she climbed in, with her bottom wiggling infront of Maria, it was only her white tights that stopped her showing off her underwear to the maid.
She was stunned at the interior, and didn't think she'd ever been in such a nice car. Her hands brushed the leather seat she was sat on, and then she leaned over to inspect a TV that was behind the driver, which seemed twice the size of the one she'd had at home before this! She knew she needed to be careful or she might actually start enjoying being a dorky teenager. "I hope our house isnt too awesome", she muttered to herself, but found her mind drifting to those huge houses at the edge of the city, on the hill above the beach, with their outdoor pools and tennis courts in the back yard that overlooked the ocean. She'd often gazed upon them from the beach below and wondered what it would be like to live in them. Her blonde pigtails flicked about as she quickly snapped her head back to Maria when the maid spoke of her punishment, and she found herself wincing. "I was just asking. I probably stand out from these kids enough because of my accent... so wearing different clothes to them is just going to make it worse. Pleeeease, Maria?", she found herself whining a little as she wriggled her bottom across the leather seats to grasp at the maid's dress. "I really need help from those kids tomorrow... I need to fit in, not making them think I feel superior... ", she muttered. She'd decided she could poll kids in anime club, or even on that facebook thing from her phone, about colours for her new crime-fighting outfit. That should help her become popular again instead of just having people make fun of her costume like those newspapers had done before. Of course, it would make her target audience of fans school kids, which was a little embarrassing, but surely that was better than NO fans. She frowned a little as the maid threatened her with her with... it, and then rolled her eyes. "My punishment is clothes? Ohhh, thaaaat will sure teach me, huh?", she said sarcastically, still of the belief she didn't deserve punishment. She'd never had to deal with much authority before, but after briefly glaring at the maid, she looked away, blushing, realising Maria really was the one in control here.
Wriggling around, she sits up on the seat on her knees, and starts poking around at the side, finding a pair of white earphones. Examining them curiously, she slips them on, and then pokes a button with the familiar 'play' icon on the pad. Her eyes widen, and her mouth falls open, her head turning a little to glance back at Maria. The volume had been previously set pretty loud, so she may be getting a little of it. It was the Glee cover of Don't Stop Believing. Cat had heard the song before... well, she'd heard the PROPER song before and had liked it as a kid. Her adult mind started to cloud with rage at the sugar-pop cover... before she noticed she was tapping her feet to the music and patting her hands on the leather seats. Her wide blue eyes looked down, her lips soundlessly forming the words to the song. She quickly pulled out the earphones, looking frightened... like she'd seen a ghost, and poked the button to make the music stop. "Ugh... ", was all she could say, her cheeks bright red as she looked at the maid, when the car came to a stop.
"We're here already?", she asked, pushing her face up against the glass and cupping her her hands around her eyes as she looked outside. "Huh, we're still at school? Oh... somebody's helicopter is blocking the way. I wonder if it's someone famous", she pondered out loud, and then lowered her voice to mutter, "Or just a kid more rich than the rest getting picked up from school... damned spoiled brats".
