On Day 2, Red decided it was high time to give Bree a makeover.

"What?" was the girl's initial reaction.

"You introduced me to the wonderful things in the Otherworld!" Red said excitedly. "I must repay your hospitality!"

"And I paid for said 'wonderful things' too," Bree muttered under her breath.

Red began to mumble excitedly about dresses, gowns, jewelry, and hairdos.

Goldilocks walked past and patted Bree's shoulder. "I pity you."

"Gee, thanks." Bree said sarcastically and watched as Red attempted to raid a makeup chain store.

"Darling, I think we're not supposed to create problems." Froggy hopped after his wife and tried to stop her.

"I'm going to tell the twins." Bree announced and walked to their base, which was a strange assortment of flying ships, jets, spaceships and bridges connecting them. Bree climbed up the ladder leading to the hovering pirate ship.

The Dolly Llama crew were making fruit smoothies while watching sitcoms. Every now and then there would be laughter from the television, followed by laughter from the real audience.

Bree sighed and shook her head. Who knew they would be so entertained.

She climbed to a round platform, which was higher than the pirate ship. Unlike the last time she visited it, there were portals surrounding the center of the round platform.

The twins were in the middle of the whole thing. Alex clapped her hands together, pleased with her handiwork.

"What's this?" Bree asked when she came up.

"Oh, these are portals to different places in the world. It'll be more convenient." Alex replied.

"Sweet." Bree read the signs next to the portals, which were about which place the portal would lead too. "I've always wanted to go to Antarctica."

"Anyways, Red is wrecking havoc downstairs. She still thinks stuff in this world are free. Froggy is trying to stop her." Bree mentioned casually.

"What?" Alex and Conner exclaimed in unison. They looked at each other.

"I'll go and check it out." Alex offered.

"Nah, you have work to do. I'll do it." Conner suggested.

"Let's go together." Alex waved her hands and a strong gust of wind blew past the three. "Ready to jump? I'm sure Bree doesn't want to walk down right after she got up here."

"I- what?" Conner questioned and looked down from the platform. It wasn't very high, equivalent to a fifteen-storey building. But when one was about to jump down, everything became miles scarier.

"Don't worry, the wind will slow us down." Alex explained. A mischievous smile spread across her face. "It'll feel a bit like flying."

"When did you become so reckless?" Conner laughed. A bead of sweat formed on his forehead as he looked down again. "On second thought, maybe I'll take the long way down-"

"Wheeeee!" Alex cried and jumped down, spreading her limbs out. "This is fun!" she yelled to her brother.

Bree took her beanie off and readjusted her ponytail. "I'm going!" she exclaimed and leapt down the platform. "I've always wanted to free fall!"

"Wait!" Conner yelled. He jumped forward and caught Bree's arm, so they fell down together.

"Hey! Let go! You're weighing me down!" Bree shook herself out of Conner's grip.

"Sorry!" Conner spread his arms out like Alex did. He had to admit, this was pretty cool.

"Fun, isn't it?" Bree turned to look at Conner.

Conner gulped. Bree's face was really too close for comfort, her brown eyes shining with excitement at the danger.

"Ah..." Conner was tongue twisted. He blushed and looked away. "I guess so." he said rather bashfully.

Bree grinned then looked down. The ground was getting nearer and nearer so she adjusted her body so her feet was facing the ground, and landed smoothly.

Conner however, noticed it too late. He frantically tried to stand still, but he lost his balance and nearly fell onto Bree. He would've done that if Alex didn't pull him back up. He grinned apologetically at Bree, embarrassed.

Jack came over to them, an exasperated expression on his face. "Thank goodness you've arrived." He gestured to a direction. "Look at what Red has done."

Designer bags and jewelry were piled on Froggy's arms, while lipstick, mascara and eyeshadow were all over the floor. In a corner they could see Red rummaging in a drawer.

"Look at the shades of red they have!" Red beamed, holding up her hand which had smears of different lipsticks. "I love this place!"

Alex, Conner and Bree sighed collectively. They heard a smash behind them, and when they looked back Froggy had dropped some of the designer bags.

Alex restored the place with a simple wave of her hand, then Conner and Bree took the hard job of explaining the concept of money to Red. The more they talked, the more Red was interested.

After chatting for a while, Red shooed Conner away.

"What? Are you going to have a girls only talk?" Conner asked. He was slightly annoyed because the topic had switched to the history of Coca Cola, which Conner was somehow weirdly informed of. He was trying to impress Bree with his random knowledge, like how she impressed him with hers.

"I'm going to give your girlfriend a makeover," Red declared and turned to her victim (aka. Bree). "And once you've got the basic beauty tips you can wow everyone you know."

Conner was so surprised, he forgot to say that Bree wasn't his girlfriend.

"There's no way I'm going to wear that to school," Bree looked pointedly at Red's gown.

"Anyways, no boys allowed!" Red yelled and slammed the door shut.

Next to Conner, Froggy looked slightly hurt.

"Don't worry my friend," Conner patted his back. "Let's go somewhere else, like, I dunno, China. Wanna see the Great Wall?"

A couple hours later, Conner and Froggy returned from their short trip to various places around the world.

"Charlie!" Red squealed and hugged him.

"Oh hey Red, you done with Bree?" Conner asked, trying to sound casual but failing, since he was always thinking about her.

"She escaped." Red said nonchalantly. "But I don't think my style suits her. Her fashion sense isn't bad anyway."

"So... where is she?"

Red shrugged. "I don't know. You're closer to her, so you should know."

Conner sat down and thought. If I were Bree, where would I go? Probably somewhere quiet and hidden. Knowing Bree, she could have gotten to the top of the Statue of Liberty. Or the roof of a tall building. It would be hard to find her.

Alex had built a rotating observation deck some ways higher than what they called "the Portal Platform". It could be accessed by a floating couch which acted as a lift (Conner had suggested that idea, as the normal lift was too boring). Not a lot of people used it though, as the characters from the other worlds were too fascinated by this world's luxuries.

Conner hoped he could see Bree from the observation deck. He hopped on the couch and pressed a button, which sent him shooting up to the deck.

Surprisingly enough, when Conner entered the deck, he saw a blonde figure sitting cross-legged, looking out of the glass panes which stretched from the floor to the ceiling.

Conner had to take a second look to confirm that person was Bree. Her hair was down but she still had her beanie on, and was that a dress she was wearing?

"Hey," Conner sat next to her, trying to sound casual. He couldn't stop staring at her. "You're... you're wearing a dress."

It was a simple black dress which came to her knees. Bree shrugged, and Conner noticed that her shoulders were visible, which made him blush for some reason.

"Red's not going to let it past until she's seen me in a dress. So I went home and got one. I really don't like wearing dresses."

"Oh." Conner replied. "You..." he hesitated before saying, "You look pretty."

"Thanks."

To avoid any awkward moments, they looked at the view.

"It's sunset." Conner and Bree said in unison.

Conner suddenly remembered that the day before, Red and Froggy were talking about seeing the sunset. So was this suddenly an impromptu date?

They watched the sun casting golden rays on the city. The whole place was silent, as if it was frozen in time.

"I think I should go. I need to help my mom with dinner." Conner stood up.

Bree stood up. "I should change too."

It was probably because of the sunset that Bree's cheeks seemed rosier than before, Conner thought.

It wasn't until much later when Conner realized two things.

One, was that you could go to the observation deck easily. If Bree really wanted to escape from Red, she would have gotten somewhere more hidden. And Conner wouldn't have found her so easily.

Two, if Bree didn't like wearing dresses, she would've changed back after Red had seen her.

There had to a reason that Bree was so conveniently near and wearing something else.

He's an idiot, Bree sighed when she helped with washing the dishes. He should have noticed the painfully obvious hints.

Conner wasn't stupid. Bree just thought like that because she was slightly annoyed at herself. There weren't many times she felt confused, but her feelings were messing her up.

Conner was next to Bree, wiping the dishes. The girl seemed like she was deep in thought, and her brain was on autopilot as she handed Conner a dish.

Conner took the dish, and his hand brushed against hers.

This time it wasn't definitely because of the sunset or the light. A small blush formed on Bree's cheeks.

Conner smirked triumphantly, but the blush disappeared quickly, and Bree returned to her usual state.

It wasn't a lot, but Conner knew he was making progress.
