----- Part 1 –
Getting Pretty -----
--
Written by “Gale
Kepler” and “Irene Naridza”
It
was the Pedro's parents' anniversary, they sent him to Aunt Mercedes' house for
the weekend. She hesitated at first, since it was the wedding of her best
friend, Lourdes. It had taken her so long to find true love, and she wouldn't
miss such a special event for anything in the world.
His
parents had the decency to at least leave him with a formal suit. However, it
didn't match. "It's a white suit. The other
boys will wear black, but it doesn't matter. In any case, you look like a
little gentleman." said his
aunt.
However,
everything changed on Saturday night. Pedro and his little cousin Domenica were
helping to wash the dinner dishes. Domenica washed, while Pedro dried and put
them away. Suddenly, their attention was drawn to how heatedly Mercedes was
talking on the phone. After finishing their task, they approached her to ask
what was going on.
"Is something wrong,
Mommy?"
Domenica asked. “Cecilia had an accident. A
drunk guy ran her over.” Both
children were breathless for a moment. “Ce…
Cecilia… is she…?” Pedro was worried.
“She’s stable. The drunk was riding a bicycle.” The
children sighed in relief.
“But now she has a broken
leg and a sprain in the other.” Both
Pedro and Domenica were once again horrified. “The
worst part is that she’s the bride’s daughter.” Cecilia was Lourdes’ only daughter.
“Calm down, sweethearts,
she’s fine. She’ll be able to attend her mother’s wedding tomorrow. The wedding
isn’t canceled, but she won’t be able to be the flower girl anymore.” Mercedes was thoughtful. For this wedding,
Lourdes had requested three flower girls. However, she had only been able to
count on Cecilia, her daughter, but now she couldn’t do it.
Mercedes
thought and thought. There were no other guests with daughters of the right age
to be a flower girl. They were all adults or teenagers. Then, when she looked
ahead and saw her daughter and nephew, an idea came to her.
"I got an idea." she said energetically. "What is it?" Domenica asked. "You’ll find out tomorrow, darling." Mercedes
tucked both her daughter and nephew into bed, then went off to plan how her
best friend could still have the perfect wedding.
The
next morning, Pedro was woken up by the alarm clock in the guest room. His aunt
had set it to wake him up early for the wedding day. He waited for his cousin
to finish showering so he could do the same.
When
he returned to his room wrapped in a towel, he looked for his white suit, but
it was nowhere to be found. "Auntie, I
can’t find my white suit. Can you help me find it?" he pleaded, but she came in with a garment bag he
had never seen before.
"About that, I have a
different outfit in mind for you." Mercedes unzipped the bag, and Pedro saw a
flower girl’s dress. “What… what’s that for?” Pedro was confused. "It’s
for you. Cecilia can’t be the flower girl, and I couldn’t find anyone else but
you." Pedro blushed with
embarrassment.
"But, but…" he tried to object. "No buts, young lady." Mercedes scolded. "Please,
this is very important to my friend."
she begged. Pedro adored his aunt. Even though he didn’t know the friend
who was getting married, he wanted to do whatever it took to make her happy.
"Okay… I’ll do
it." A
small smile appeared on Mercedes’ face. "Perfect,
you need to get ready as soon as possible… I’ll even give you a reward if you
agree." Mercedes dragged him
to the vanity in her bedroom, where Domenica was already sitting, looking
radiant and ready for the wedding.
"Huh? What’s Pedro
doing here?" Domenica
asked, surprised to see her cousin in such a girly place. "Oh, darling, he’s going to be the flower girl we’re
missing. An extravagant solution, but it’s the one we have." Domenica’s eyes lit up.
"Are we going to dress
her up? Like a doll?" she
squealed. "No, we need to be more delicate.
Your cousin isn’t a toy." Mercedes said as she led Pedro by the
hand. "First things first, we need to do
your makeup."
Mercedes
gestured for Domenica to get up from the chair. Once seated, and with
Domenica’s curious eyes watching, Mercedes began to apply makeup to her nephew.
First, she put on a foundation matching his skin tone. Then, she applied soft
eyeshadow tones, nothing too heavy, the same makeup she used on her daughter.
She knew she had to be very careful not to damage his young skin.
"Very well… all done.
Voilà!" she
said, letting Pedro look at himself in the mirror. "Oh
my…" he was speechless. When
he saw himself in the mirror, he looked like a girl.
"Good, now let’s do
your hair." With
great skill, Mercedes used a curling iron and some hairspray. Pedro watched as,
by the minutes, his hair, which was already a bit long, became more and more
feminine.
In
less than 15 minutes, his aunt was finished. "Wow,
his hair looks so pretty!" Domenica exclaimed. When Pedro saw
himself in the mirror again, he could barely recognize himself. He saw a girl
who looked a lot like him but couldn’t believe that she was him.
"Perfect, perfect.
Time to get you dressed." Mercedes
led Pedro back to the guest room. Her daughter tried to follow, but Mercedes
stopped her at the door. "Please, darling,
a little privacy." There, Mercedes took out some garments from
the dress bag while Pedro was still mesmerized by his reflection in the
wardrobe mirror.
"Sweetie, put these on
first." Mercedes
said, pointing to a set of undergarments. She helped him put them all on, just
as she would do with her daughter, since gala outfits can be tricky for a child
to handle alone.
Pedro
looked at himself in the mirror again and was surprised by his new figure. "These feel weird… and comfortable." he couldn’t believe the last part he said. He was
wearing cotton tights and a heavy white petticoat.
"This dress is strange." Pedro said, running his hands over the
petticoat. "That’s not the dress. But it
will help give shape to the skirt.” Mercedes explained.
"This is the
dress." She
pulled out the white dress and showed it to Pedro. It was made of a material
resembling synthetic silk, with a small ribbon at the waist. At the back, it
had a zipper covered by a bunch of cords that would be tied into a bow.
Mercedes
instructed Pedro to raise his arms, and he obeyed. She slid the dress over his
body, and with a few tugs, it fit snugly.
"Now stand still while
I tie the back," Mercedes
said. Pedro nodded, and she zipped up the dress. He felt her give a few tugs on
the cords, tightening them until the dress was perfectly fitted. "There. All done." she said after tying the leftover cord into a
neat bow.
Next
came a pair of white Mary Jane shoes with buckles. The woman adjusted them,
admiring her work. "They’re comfortable. they’re
not too tight." the boy
confirmed.
"Perfect. Now for the
final touch." Aunt
Mercedes left the room, leaving Pedro alone to admire himself in the mirror
once again. He felt a strange sensation as he saw a pretty girl staring back at
him.
