Make a TF Foundation: Harriette's High School

[Harri-chan]

Matilda glanced at her big sister and blushed at the feelings of guilt that were invading her mind, and she had a pretty good idea who was behind them. "I'll... help you, sis... ", she found herself replying. She didn't know what was worse, being the puppet of Fred, or Melanie, who frankly, she'd made life hard for as her teacher. Rising to her feet, she smoothes her school skirt and then starts to walk around the table, gathering up the empty plates along with Melanie, unable to resist looking down Jenna's blouse as she paused beside her ex-girlfriend and new Mother. "Mommy... c-could we talk later, just the two of us?".

Fred chuckles. "Now now, Melanie, we all know that Mattilda loves to help out her family. Why don't we let her do it?" He smiles brilantly, his arm around Jenna.

[Miku-chan]

"But if she does it by herself, she won't be done before...ooops." Melanie starts saying as she grabs Matilda to slip the frilly pink apron from earlier on over her outfit...

[Harri-chan]

"Before what?", she asked, sounding quite worried, and blushed as Melanie pulled the pink apron around her. Since her arms were full with holding the plates she couldn't stop her either. She twisted a little to look up at the other teenager, feeling a pleasant tingle go through her at being helped by her big sister. "What won't I be finished before, Melanie?".

[Miku-chan]

"Ahh...I asked some friends to stop by to celebrate my little sisters birthday at the Ice Cream Palace...so we need to hurry." Melanie quickly says knowing how much eating ice cream use to bother Matilda...

[Harri-chan]

Matilda went bright red. She felt the nervous urge to play with her skirt growing but had to hold onto those plates. "Friends? You mean... girls from school?", she asked as she followed her to the kitchen so they could wash the dishes together. "Melanie... do you have any idea how bad ice cream is for you? Can't you just call them and cancel? I don't want to go out tonight... . Ice cream, her ex-students towering over her, and she'd probably have to wear another skirt or a dress... it all sounded line the birthday celebration from hell.

[Miku-chan]

"But we gotta go, the deposit is non refundable. Plus they have Diet sherbet and frozen yogurt as well you know..." Melanie almost shouts in shock at Matilda's not wanting to go out. She knew the girls wouldn't recognize Mattie now, but if she couldn't get her to start going out they might start to ask questions and she knew that no one was quite ready to explain magic or what happened...

[Harri-chan]

"Okay, fine...", she said, feeling guilty at the thought of Melanie losing her deposit, "... but I'm changing out of this uniform before we go, okay", she said, knowing she didn't really have any control in this situation. Setting the plates down beside the sink, she turned on the hot water tap and bent down to take the washing up liquid from the cupboard. "What's the official story gonna be? They'll ask why you never had a sister, or a Mom before this...".

[Miku-chan]

"The truth of course. Daddy married Mother in a quiet civil ceremony and joined the households this last weekend." Melanie says as she watches Mattie and her reaction while gathering the non greasy cookware and wrapping up the left overs for refrigeration and storage

[Harri-chan]

Matilda squished the liquid under the running tap, causing a mass of foamy bubbles to form. Turning the water off, she started to wash each of the plates. She'd never done it before, but had seen Jenna doing it. "Do a lot of the kids from school go to this... ice cream palace place?", she asked, looking back over her shoulder at Melanie. "There's school tomorrow, I hope they don't stay out late...".

[Miku-chan]

"It's only the best hang out in town, plus the owners have several of the girls and guys from school working for them so they usually close by 9 pm during the school year. That's the biggest reason to hurry, but with this many dishes we wont have time to change. Hey not so much soap..." Melanie giggles at the growing mound of bubbles in the sink

[Harri-chan]

Matilda bit her bottom lip as she wiped down the dishes and set them aside for Melanie to dry off. "Aww, c'mon, Mel. I've not even been to school yet, so I'll look like a dork wearing the uniform out. I'll wear ANYTHING you want, okay? I'll dry all the dishes while you go pick something... please, Mel... there might be boys there...".

[Miku-chan]

"Ok, but no complaints if you look hot..." Melanie giggles as she heads up to the Matilda's room to get the outfit from under the bed. then quickly changes into a grey pleated skirt and red angora sweater and waits for Mattie to finish up downstairs...

[Harri-chan]

"Yeah right... like I would... ", she muttered as she finished washing the dishes, and then started to dry them off. With Melanie gone, and Fred in the other room, she started to get a little more control over her feelings back, making the embarrassment worse, "Oh god, I can't believe this is happening... ", she moaned. Setting the dishes back in the cupboards, she pulled off the frilly pink apron and then ran out of the kitchen, and back upstairs to her very pink bedroom. "Mel?", she called as she burst in through the door.

[Miku-chan]

As Matilda enters, she sees the box on the bed and Melanie putting on a black wig looking like this...


"Open the box sis, I think your gonna like this place." she says as she starts to help Matilda undress and put the outfit on the hangers...
