"Kiddo! you're going to Everglen soon. And that boy will be there." Grady informed Sophie, giving her a pat on her head. Sophie bobbed her head.

"Grady, what's that smell?" she asked.

Grady chuckled. "Your mom's making mallowmalt for you to bring to share."

Sophie smiled. She loved mallowmalt. It tasted way better than Gelato, or chocolate cake. The gooey white substance made her mouth water as she walked back into the house, where the smell grew stronger.

She headed up to her room, that occupied the entire third floor. She packed a sleeping bag and some pyjamas. Then she went back down and sampled Edaline's mallowmalt, which Edaline then packed into her bag, and teleported with Sandor, Bo and Flori to Everglen.

She'd decided to give Biana a surprise, so she teleported into her room, where she found Biana... ... applying make up.

"Sophie! What are you doing here?" Biana yelped as she went to give her best friend a hug. Sophie smiled cheekily. She shrugged her shoulders. "Just wanted to give you a surprise. And eww, what's that pink thing your putting on your cheek?" she gestured at Biana's face.

"It's called a blusher!  Come here, Sophie, I'll show you how it works." Biana said, grabbing Sophie's hand and gently pulling her towards what must've been her make up table. Sophie immediately backed out. "Nope nope nope nope nope. " she insisted. "Come on, please?" Biana asked. Sophie sighed.

"Just a little bit!" Biana persisted. Sophie sighed again. Why did she always give in to her friends?

"fine," she mumbled. Biana gasped.

"OMG SOPHIEEEEEE!!!!!!!" she practically yelled, tackling her. "I PROMISE I'M GONNA MAKE YOU LOOK FABULOUS YES YES YES YES YOU'LL HAVE NICE CUTE PINK CHEEKS AND SLIGHTLY REDDER LIPS AND-" Biana ranted, and Sophie could tell she was going to go off on one of those fanfirling moments where her speech just dissolved into endless squeals, so she stopped her.

And Biana began the makeup.

"Biana, are we done? You've finished the blusher part!"

"5 more minutes!!"

"Now are you done?"

"Five more minutes!!"

"You said that five minutes ago!"

"Yes but now I'm serious!"

"Biana, what's that pink thing you just put on my lips?"

"Oh, that? Don't worry about it."

"Biana-"

"Okay your done!" she squealed.

Sophie gasped. Flori hummed. Biana pestered her with comments.

Sophie didn't have the heart to tell Biana she didn't like it. "Biana, it's lovely, but I'm not that kind of person... and... DIDN'T YOU SAY ONLY THE BLUSHER???? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MEET FITZ AND KEEFE AND DEX AND TAM AND LINH AND MARELLA LIKE THIS???? I'LL BE MADE FUN OF FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!" and just as she said it, Fitz entered.

"B- SOPHIE?????"

Sophie felt her cheeks burn. She waved.

"Biana! What have you done to her!?" Fitz asked, gesturing at her face.

"Nothing!" Biana cried.

"I er just let Biana apply what I thought was a little blusher on me..." Sophie said, glaring at Biana.

The door opened and in walked Keefe. "Sup guys! Looks like Foster's late ag- FOSTER????" Keefe yelped, staring from Sophie to Biana and back to Sophie again. Sophie's cheeks burned even redder, and so did Keefe's.

"Keefe! Get this: Sophie let Biana put makeup on her face!!" Fitz told him. Keefe's eyes widened.

"Only a little..." Sophie began.

"Okay, who are you and what have you done with Sophie Foster?" Keefe questioned. They laughed.

Sophie glared at Biana. "That was the first." she said, "and last time your vandalising my face."

Biana pouted. "It wasn't vandalising, more of... decorating..." she argued.

"Well, sorry, Biana, but this," Sophie gestured at her face, "Has to go. Now." she got up and headed for the toilet. She washed off everything. So much for just the blusher.

"Hey Sophie." Dex and Marella, who'd just arrived said. Sophie smiled back, glad they'd only just arrived so they couldn't see the disgusting stuff Biana put on her face. Tam amd Linh had arrived a while ago, though. But that was right after she'd entered the bathroom.

"Edaline made mallowmalt!" Sophie said, raising the basket filled with them. Her friends cheered and she set the basket in the middle of all of them.

As Tam reached for a piece, Keefe slapped his hand, causing it to back off.

"Not so fast, Bangs Boy! We're gonna play truth or dare! If you do any one of them successfully, then you get to eat one. Actually, no. If you choose dare, you eat two. If you choose truth, you eat one." Keefe informed them.

Tam scowled at Keefe, but didn't fight back. Biana grabbed a bottle and spun it as they all sat in a circle on her soft, pink, fluffy carpet.

"And... ... Sophie's going first!" she cheered. Sophie repressed a sigh.

"Well, Truth or Dare?" Biana asked her.

"If I choose dare, I eat two right?" she asked.

"Yes, but only if you do the dare," Keefe said.

Sophie nodded. "Dare."

Keefe smirked and whispered something in Biana's ear. Her eyes widened and her brows disappeared into her hair when he finished. Then, they shared an evil look Sophie did not like and Biana nodded. Sophie gulped.

"Well, Sophie, your dare is..." Biana began, casting Sophie an evil look.

Sophie groaned. "Just tell me already!"

"You have to let my put make up on your face until we go to sleep." Biana said with a squeal.

Sophie groaned again. "You guys are the worst." she mumbled. "fine..." she covered her face with her hands as everyone laughed.

And so she and Biana made their way to the make up table.

"Looks like I'm 'vandalising' your face again." Biana said, smiling, "ooh, but, this time, I'm going to blindfold you!"

Sophie groaned as Biana covered her eyes and her friends cheered.

"Okay, your all set!" Biana removed the blindfold. Sophie gasped. Biana squealed. Marella hurried over. Linh covered her mouth. Keefe's eyes widened and his mouth hung agape. Fitz went beetroot red. Dex gaped at her. Tam... hid in a corner with Sandor.

"Sophie!! It's so nice!!!!!" Biana squealed.

"Trust Miss Prettypants to be able to vandalise your face till it's like that," Marella said.

Sophie looked in the mirror again. She couldn't help gasping again. She didn't know how to feel about it. "Sophie, this is totally your style!! Linh said, going over too. Sophie sighed.

"I can't wait to wash this off."
