Stage Princesses || May and Lucille
“You can do this!” The blonde took a deep breath, repeating the phrase over and over again. She looked at her reflection in the full length mirror in the corner of the room. She occasionally twisted her body side to side, fixing her outfit to make sure the skirt wasn’t starting to fold up or wrinkle. “You can do this!” She repeated the phrase once more with a false confidence she hoped would become real. “It’s not this is your first contest or anything! And you’ve been to Lilycove before, it’s just been a while!”
With a small nod, she turned away from the mirror, letting out a small scream as she saw someone standing near the door, staring at her with a confused expression. “Sorry, ignore me talking to myself! It’s been a while since I’ve been in contests!” Lucille laughed nervously, looking at the person standing in front of her. “W-Wait!”
“You’re May!” Lucille put her hands over her mouth, trying to hide the small gasp that escaped her lips. “Oh dear Arceus! You’re so great at contests, I can’t believe you’re right in front of me!” The blonde jumped around excitedly, stopping when she almost slipped on the smooth tile. Catching her balance, she took a step forward, looking at the outfit the brunette was wearing.
“Woooow, you look so pretty!” Lucille circled around May, eyes as wide as saucers. Looking back up at May, the blonde gasped again. “Oh no, I hope I haven’t made you uncomfortable!! I’m so sorry, I’m just so excited to meet you! Oh dear, I haven’t even let you talk or introduced myself yet!” Extending her hand, Lucille offered a warm smile. “I’m Lucille!”
