The time before a recital is always chaos. Tonight is no different. A couple hours before the scheduled start time for the festivities, everyone is putting the finishing touches on costumes and make up. Including Stella and Zane. Stella has curlers in her hair as she helps Zane with his scarlet colored tie. He fidgets, not liking the feel of his white button up dress shirt against his neck. He doesn't say anything, but Stella knows what he's thinking anyway. "Don't you dare complain brother. All you have to get is some eyeliner and some blush to keep you from looking washed out up there." Cora stands nearby, ready to help Stella herself get ready. After flattening her brother's collar down, all that's left for him to do is dawn his suit jacket and wait for the competition to start.<br/><br/>Cora wraps a towel around Stella's upper half to keep her dress nice and pretty while she puts Stella's long hair into updo. Next comes the make up, which takes a bit of effort for Stella to hold still to put on. Cora carefully applies the red body glitter to her friend's shoulders and neck. Finally, Stella waits for Isana to start performing, silently wishing the other performer luck.
