How can I feel this? – Chapter Two

     Sari lifted a box out of the lower compartment of her yellow toy box. It had, “SARI” written on it in big, swirly, orange letters. Under that, in small black print, it read, “Make-up.” The six little girls swarmed around Sari and the box, picking their favorite color nail polish or their favorite flavor of lipgloss. When everyone had separated into pairs, they started.
     Bumblebee watched confusedly, as a small brunette painted her blonde friend’s toenails neon pink. On the other side of the room, a little black girl in a bright green nightgown was carefully applying grape lipgloss to her friend’s puckered lips. The last pair was chatting quietly as they patted light blue blush on each other’s rosy cheeks.
     “Sari?” Bumblebee asked, watching as his friend set the box on the carpet and took out a tube of orange lipstick.
     “Yeah?” she answered, looking into a small hand mirror with jewel-encrusted edges.
     “What are you guys doing?” Bumblebee asked, crossing his arms.
     “Makeovers!” Sari exclaimed. “Where we all put on make-up and make ourselves look…Oh, what’s the word Dad uses…Presentable.”
     Bumblebee scratched his head, frowning. “Bulkhead’s right. This Earth stuff is hard…”
     “Okay, you guys!” Sari suddenly yelled, and the little girls looked over. “What do you think Bumblebee would look better in? Orange or red lipstick?”
     “WHAT?!” Bumblebee exclaimed. “But – but, but – You told me that stuff is for girls!”
     “So?” Sari shrugged, popping the cap off the orange lipstick. “It doesn’t matter. No one will see, anyway.”
     “I guess not,” Bumblebee said. “But what if your dad comes in?”
     “He won’t!” Sari told the nervous robot. “He’s been working on his latest thing for days now. He probably even forgot I have friends over right now! Alright, girls!” she said, suddenly addressing the other guests. “Get your make-up, and let’s make Bumblebee pretty.”
     Sari almost sounded evil as she said it. Bumblebee gulped and backed against the wall. Why did he disobey Optimus Prime?

     Bumblebee looked in the small pink hand mirror and sighed loudly and obnoxiously.
     “I look…stupid,” Bumblebee said, as though it pained him to say it.
     “All you need is hair and you’d look almost like a girl!” Sari commented.
     There were two shades of orange lipstick spread over Bumblebee’s mouth, and his little horns had rings hooked on them to act as earrings. His eyes had been outlined numerous times by eyeliner and mascara. Sari had even squeezed him into one of her bigger yellow nightgowns.
     Bumblebee frowned and quickly washed off the make-up in the bathroom when the girls weren’t looking. Then he pulled off the nightgown and threw it haphazardly on the carpet.
     “Can we watch a movie?” one of the girls whined.
     “Sure!” Sari said enthusiastically, running downstairs. She was back up in a flash and had two movies. One was a girls’ movie, and the other was Sari and Bumblebee’s favorite. “I’ve got Dandelion’s First Pony.”
     The six little girls cheered and Bumblebee grimaced. Dandelion’s First Pony? How girly can you get?
     “And!” Sari exclaimed, recapturing her guests’ attention. “And I have Cruncher’s Smashdown!”
     The girls got silent and Bumblebee cheered. Then he quieted down once he saw their reaction.
     “Let’s take a vote,” Sari said. “Raise your hands if you want Cruncher’s Smashdown.”
     Bumblebee raised his hand, grinning, then slowly lowered it when he saw no one else was joining in.
     “Now raise your hands if you want Dandelion’s First Pony.”
     The guests raised their hands, one of them even sticking their tongue out at Bumblebee.
     “I guess the winner is Dandelion’s First Pony…” Sari said, sounding a bit let down. None of these girls were like her. They were all girly. She thought if she invited some people from around the block, she’s find a good friend, but they weren’t right at all.
Sorry for the delay. I had writers' block. Anyway, the second chapter! Makeovers and movies!
