Shane locked the car doors and looked at her friend beside her with a knowing grin. Alice responded with a nod and a wink. Moving in sync, they both looked at the shaken blonde behind them and smiled. "Relax." They said at the same time. And with that, Shane started the car and pulled out of the school’s driveway.

A helpless Tina could only look outside at the passing scenery and sigh. I think I’ve just been kidnapped by the wonder twins, she inwardly groaned.

4:20 PM

Inside Shane’s bungalow at the Chateau Marmont, a flurry of action was taking place – and it all revolved around an overwhelmed blonde. A team of famous hairdressers and make-up artists obsessed on Tina’s face and hair as Shane and Alice barked instructions from the sidelines.

"Up."

"Down."

"Up."

"Down."

"Up."

"Down Alice!" Shane shouted in annoyance, pointing at Tina’s hair. "Put it down Matteo.." She instructed Tina’s main hairdresser. "It looks better down." She said as she turned towards her friend beside her.

"Tch.. fine." Alice gave in. "Down it is." She waved her hand dismissively. Leaving Shane alone to watch over Tina, she turned around and walked to the corner of the room where all the clothes were placed. They had taken out all of Tina’s dresses from their respective bags and arranged them on a rack. A maid was steam ironing the clothes as Alice examined them one by one.

"Alice, my dear." Angelo, the make-up artist, called out to his favorite client while he stood over and examined his enormous cosmetics box. "I need to know what dress she’ll wear so I would know what color to use on her.."

"Okay. Give me a few minutes.." Alice said as she took a white backless Gucci dress from the rack and looked at it closely. "Hey Shaney.." She put it up for her friend to see.

"No." Shane answered quickly as soon as she saw the dress. "Next." She turned around and returned to supervising Tina’s hair.

"How about this?" Alice asked, holding up a red Vera Wang with a plunging neckline and a super long slit at the side. She wiggled her brows and smirked at Shane. "I bet you know what Porter was thinking when she bought this thing.." She chuckled loudly, hugging the evidence of Bette’s dirty thoughts close to her body. The brunette began to crack up too. When their laughter died down, Shane twirled a finger round to signal the blonde to find a new dress.
