Bridgette:

Bridgette smiled as she felt Adelaide’s presence next to her, turning just slightly so she was facing her friend a bit more as they both eyed her sister and her newly betrothed. “Oh totes.” She murmured. While she knew that this wasn’t ideal for Triss, that she might’ve had serious feelings about her now ex-boyfriend, this was a way to get her father to finally, publicly announce her to the world. And oh would Bridgette love to stop pretending that Triss wasn’t her sister. “I think we both know the King is a step up from who she was with before.” Trash, was who Triss was dating before. It was no secret to those who were close to Bridgette that she disliked the kids from the Isle. She didn’t think they belonged here, and she definitely didn’t think one of them belonged in her sister’s bed. “I know she’s going through it now, but soon she’ll see this was the best thing that could’ve happened to her.” Flipping her blonde locks behind her hair, the blonde finally tore her attention away from Triss and focused on Ade. “You think we could sneak a bottle of that champagne out without my dad seeing? I’m so over this ball and we can have a much better time somewhere else.”

oh, she knew. she definitely knew who Triss had been with before. what she also knew was how excited the elder woman had been about it. just a little coffee date and she was practically buzzing the time she saw her after it. Adelaide was both curious and concerned but above all, support. so, simply nodded as if conspiring and took a sip of her drink. she knew there were games that had to be played as a royal, especially higher up royals, so she wasn’t gonna say a word about it all. instead, she smiled brightly, “she is going to make an amazing queen,” jumped from her lips with full belief in her words before turning her attention from their friend and looking back to Birdie. “oh girl,” she started with a head nod, “i feel like that is the best thing i have heard all day and i am so ready.” looking around the room, she saw father CHarming busy with his .. whatever he was doing and just didn’t waste a minute. downing her drink, she sat it where it belonged before moving to chat up a server. flicking her hair, her gaze landed on Brigette for a minute, pointedly she looked to the unopened bottle that the server had been distracted from before laughing softly at the joke sent her way. boys were so stupid.

Beatrice:

Seeing Adelaide was like a burst of warm summer air on a cold bitter winter day. She couldn’t help smile as she took the glass that was handed to her. “Just a little,” slipped past her lips as she took a small sip. She chuckled a bit at the comment about her dress and Mitch. “I figured if I was going to be on the King’s arm I should go for a more forward aesthetic for the evening.” Talking about clothing was so mundane but it did wonders for the mood Triss was in. “Also can we talk about how stunning you look, I’m pretty sure all the eligible bachelors and bachelorettes are still picking their jaws up off the floor.” she nudged her friend playfully. It was nice to speak to someone who just didn’t push. She knew that Addie undoubtedly wanted the details. But she also knew that the blonde knew that the Ball was not the time nor the place for them. She wished more people understood that Etiquette. 

with the playful nudge, she brought a hand to her chest as if she was scandalized. “who little ol’ me?” she questioned with laughter coating her words. Adelaide always knew she looked good. part of her whole thing was making herself look pretty but as time had gone on, she hadn’t been doing it for anyone but herself. men or stupid. they weren’t really worth her time most days and well, girls were so much better. softer. prettier and generally smelled let things she liked. of course, she didn’t have her eye on any specific girl. not really. “but one can hope. i just need to snag me someone that can keep up with me and enjoy the things i enjoy” a girl for example. smiling softly to herself, she took a sip of her drink, careful to not down it. no need to get sloppy at a kingdom ball after all. “one piece of business.” she paused for a minute looking at the other elder girl. “if you need any help with anything or someone to do little errands or the like. you let me know.” eyeing her for a minute, she made sure her point stuck before jumping back to something not focused on the current stream of whispers. “if anything we all at least need to have a good girl spa day. you, Birdie and me. even Ames if she is up for it. just an excuse to relax, drink mimosas and be pampered.”

[adelaidelabouff]

now, it wasn’t that Adelaide could claim to know everything. normally she just knew a little more than most people. her ear to the ground and all the people she knew and that. but seeing Triss and Mitch come in together with a very obvious vibe was... something. instead of trying to dissect it, she found her chance in a moment of Beatrice being alone. Ade could only imagine announcing a relationship at a ball for the whole city. talk about hectic. grabbing a second flute of champagne she moved her way quickly to the elder girl with a friendly smile curving her lips. “you look like you could use this.” she said only loud enough for the other girl to hear without preamble. “your dress is stunnin’.” she quickly added louder for anyone listening, looking the royal over. “got a good boy accessory to go with it too,” her words were light and teasing on purpose. her hand holding out the second glass of champagne. @beatricefae​

[adelaidelabouff]

tapping her fingers against the delicate stem of her champagne flute, Adelaide eyed the room. the entire night had been a little more eventful than she had thought it would be. it almost made her giddy. slightly confused but most certainly giddy. smiling brightly, she turned to saunter up to her buddy for the night. the divine Bridgette Charming. leaning in close so she could whisper softly she brushed her own hair over her shoulder, “we’re happy about her and Mitch right?” she questioned, her accent curling around her words, knowing that the two of them were close. Triss and Birdie that was. “my default is happy because a: weddin’ and b: yaya people i like havin’ a weddin’. but i gotta make sure this is what we are supportin’.” was added as she sipped her drink, looking pointedly in her companions direction. @bridgettecharming​

running her fingers over the dress on her body. she sighed softly, shifting from angle to angle in the mirrors that surrounded her. moving her hair from one side to the other none of the techniques helped as Adelaide continued to eye the dress. “not this one.” she spoke up to the attendant that had been helping her. it didn’t mean she wouldn’t find what she was looking for. it just meant she couldn’t find anything speaking to her at the moment. with another sigh, she moved to change into her normal clothing and handed the dress off to the girl helping her. promising that she would let her know if she changed her mind, she moved out of the area and went to go look at jewellery. if anything something sparkly could help her feel better. 

eyeing a few pieces. some that made her think of herself. others her mother. then her brain went down the line of friends until she found another she liked for her own pretty neck. asking to try it on she was shifting in the mirror when she noticed someone in the reflection behind her. a certain blonde that already had her narrowing her eyes. Riley Fitzherbert. quietly she watched her, distracted from the sparkling on her neck for a brief moment before waving the attendant and asking him to take it back. without missing a beat, she turned in her seat, her eyes following the other blonde for a moment. something was different. a perk in her step maybe? it wasn’t as if she had suddenly found a fashion sense outside of beach bohemian so it couldn’t have been that. seeing the smile curve the other girl’s lips made Adelaide want to roll her eyes and ruin whatever little happiness she found but then she saw her looking at a dress. a dress so hideous she wouldn’t bury a true enemy in it. 

huffing to herself she moved to stand and walk over to her most favorite prey in the whole world. “you are so disgustingly cheerful i almost can’t stand it.” her accent strong as she leaned and eyed the other blonde for a moment. “but in the spirit of the holidays i am going to tell you that dress would look hideous on you. please don’t. it would be a crime.” @littlerileyfitz​

[adelaidelabouff]

letting out a long sigh, Adelaide leaned into the hands quietly massaging her sore muscles. the entire time back home and been a trip and a half. apparently, the super healthy boyfriend couldn’t handle the ‘shade of a dead man’ being in the family and left her mother in the lurch. first off, obviously he had no idea what was worth fighting for because her mother was incredible. second, he couldn’t talk about her daddy like that and she may or may not have left something tasty in his special little smoothies he took from the fridge. he was always about detoxing anyway. it would sure as hell be a cleanse. still, while there was a large portion of her satisfied she was gone, there was another part of her that couldn’t stand knowing her mama cried over it. she deserved so much better. 

so, the time home had been cheering the older La Bouff up. showering her with daughter affection and visiting her daddy’s grave to talk with him. all and all - not the worst. that didn’t mean she didn’t deserve the spa treatment she was getting. oh, she did. every last massaged muscle was something she deserved. soon enough the massage ended and she was led to an area that was all about the manicures and pedicures. through the whole massage, she had been relatively silent. Adelaide allowed herself and her companion to just soak it in but finally, she turned to the brunette and smiled something soft. “i hope it was as good for you as it was for me.” she teased lightly before being led to her seat. “but also that was so worth it.” @delphinewinter​

Bridgette‌:

Bridgette could feel the waves of approval coming off the blonde as she explained her fabulous plan. A large smile slipped on her face in response, and she took Ade’s hand across the table and squeezed it tightly in excitement. “Glad I could count on you, babes.” Pulling her hand back to pick up her cup of tea and take a long sip, she flicked her hair over her shoulder once the cup was back on the saucer. It was back to buisness. Leaning in, she lowered her voice as much as possible with Adelaide still being able to hear. “Now, next we need to make a plan. Figure out how to not only distract the harlot but also how to get such a valuable item amongst her things. Should we drop them in her purse and just hope she doesn’t find them before she gets caught… or sneak into her room somehow and hide them within there…”

Her head tipped to the side as she thought, chin resting on her hand while she considered all the options. “If we sneak into a room, we’ll definitely need someone to keep her busy while the other drops off the earrings. Unfortunately I can’t be anywhere near her or her place while this is all happening. No, I need to be in a very public place, preferably with a large amount of attention to make sure there’s no reason to suspect me. I have a presentation this week in my buisness class, that might have to be when this all happens. Which means I’m going to lean on you and Amelia the most. So if you feel any hesitation or have any concerns you need to speak up now.”

squeezing Bridgette’s hand back quickly she smiled while the other blonde went into her plans. a few different choices danced around in her head. one thing Adelaide knew was the last time she had spoken to the new enemy she had flirted with her easily. even friendly-like. with every intention of hanging out with the girl another day. admittedly she was good looking. could understand how she found many a friend in the world of Auradon. but that was then when she hadn’t wronged one of her favorite people in the whole world. times were tough and sometimes a bitch had to go down. so pushing aside her first impression she focused on the game at hand. taking a sip of tea she affectionately rolled her eyes at the comment of her speaking up as if she had an issue with it all. 

‘i’m sorry..’ she began her eyes narrowing slightly playfully but thoroughly offended as she leaned forward. ‘maybe we haven’t met. my name’s Adelaide and there ain’t no backing out.” as if she was someone going to back out of the plan. honestly. did Bridgette forget who she was talking to? this was shit she did for fun. “last time her and i talked we were on good times. flirty even.” was added as she leaned back, allowing her offense to slide away. once again focusing. “i might be able to lure her out which would mean we need our other third to get the rest done.” toying with an end of her hair she thought it over for a minute. “i mean there are plenty of parties and i am willing to believe that if it is my treat. it could work.”

She said, I respect the ugly community but it ain’t me.

Bridgette:

She’s a bitch. The thought passed through Bridgette’s mind almost instantly, and she was glad she only though it instead of said it out loud. This was a small boutique, and she wasn’t about to say something so vile, publicly, for anyone to hear. No that was for private ears only. “Very.” She murmured, sending a tight smile Adelaide’s way. Her friend would know what the look meant, and the fire that was building in Bridgette’s being right now. She had been contemplating how to retaliate for days now, and she suspected she might actually have founded something she was willing to do. “Exactly. We have to show her that we’re willing to play the game.” Had she expected this to start after dumping her drink on Siren at the Halloween party? No. But this Isle trash did not know who she was messing with. Joining Ade as she bought the dress, Bridgette remained vague while inside the store. “Sounds perfect. There’s a bakery down the street, and I could really go for a strawberry shortcake right now.” It wasn’t her cheat day, but cheat day be damned. She fucking deserved the carbs.

Sending the cashier and sugary sweet smile, the blonde left the shop with her friend. Her eyes were on the prize, and she was scheming the whole walk towards the cafe. Taking a seat inside near a private corner was when she opened her mouth once more. “I’ve got an idea. And I think Amelia is more then happy to help us. I just need your thoughts.” Pausing a tea was placed on the table, Bridgette waited until they were alone before she spoke her plan into existence. “What if one of my priceless, incredibly meaningful pair of pink diamond drop earrings, gifted to me by my father on my eighteenth birthday, just so happens to go missing.. and they’re found a few hours amongst her personal belongings?”

it was easy to tell that her friend got exactly the message she was laying down with so few words. smiling softly she purchased the dress while leaning on the counter. flirting slightly with the girl, oh her hair looked so pretty, she winked at the girl before turning back to her main focus with a soft nod. “obviously.” she agreed like she hadn’t even missed a beat. “i could definitely use a snack.” motioning for her to lead the way. she followed along with her two reusable bags on her arms as she made her way down the sidewalk. mentally she ran over all of the various options. there were so many options they could go with. but no matter what she ended up choosing, they had to be smart about it. none of that blatant shit. 

sliding into a seat, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and leaned against the table. the excitement on her face practically pouring out of her. “oh please tell me.” she began before the waitress came over with tea. sending are an easy smile she waited for her to leave before focusing back on Bridgette. “i am dying here.” was whispered before taking a sip of her drink. listening, practically enraptured, she nodded her head while the potential plan was explained. glorious. she knew the exact earrings she was talking. gorgeous drop earrings that were practically irreplaceable. “oh sugar,” she started leaning forward intently. “i am so in.” she exclaimed, her tone hushed, with a grin. “we just need a good idea and flawless execution.” her accent thick as the words flowed out and the smile on her face turned scheming. “with the three of us. there is no doubt it will be perfect.”

Bridgette‌:

Bridgette’s mind was somewhere else. It was consumed with plots of revenge. She wasn’t even really in the mood for shopping, which was a fucking travesty, but right now she was so focused on ruining Siren, that she couldn’t even feel that buzz she got when she walked into a clothing store. So she let Adelaide pick out the items that caught her eye while Bridgette mindless walked around the room, hand slowly touching random trinkets that were on a table. She was inspecting a rather beautiful rose broach when she heard the door to the fitting room open. Seeing Adelaide step out, the soft green dress hugging her body perfectly, the color so very complimentary, she paused for a second. For only a second, did her mind pause, and she was able to appreciate the girl in front of her. She looked absolutely stunning. “It’s definitely for you. Brings out the green tones in your eyes.” Sure her eyes were brown, but it made them look cooler. It was flattering. Beautiful. And it actually caused Bridgette to smile. That is, until Ade asked if she was alright, then the blonde huffed, rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. Oh she was full on pouting. “I can’t stop thinking about what that harlot said about me. I wasn’t sent the text message, because hell no she’s not getting my number, but let’s just say everyone else in our school got it. Goes to show just how much she’s gotten around.”

smilingly prettily at the compliment, she made a mental note to get the dress before focusing on her friend’s comment. ah yes. the text message. Adelaide had seen it. seen it. saved it and filed it for later. it had been a while since someone had done something so foolish. it almost filled her up with glee. “oh yeah, i do think i remember seeing that. isn’t she just a peach?” knowing that Bridgette would catch the honey-flavored venom behind the words she moved back into the dressing room to put her normal clothes on. changing quickly she walked out of the little room and sighed. “i mean the only thing we can really do is return the favor. do something just as extravagant.” she continued while smiling and moving to buy her dress. Ade didn’t know how far she would want to go but, it was obviously something that needed to be done. revenge had to be had. simple.  “maybe we can talk about it over something sweet to eat? get us in the mood.”
