Kottan looked around the ballroom nervously, fidgeting and writhing her hands together with a slight flush to her cheeks. Her friend, Alice, saw her and walked over, smiling cheerfully and gave her nervous friend a hug to calm her some.
"Kottan-dearest, what's wrong? We both spent a long time working on making you cute for tonight, so why do you look so scared?"
Kottan looked down in embarrassment and made a few small circles on the ground with the toe of her heels. "W-What if he still doesn't notice me? What if he sees some one else who looks better than me...?"
Alice frowned before taking Kotan's chin into her hands and bringing her face up so she could look her in the eyes. She sternly spoke, "Quite thinking so negatively. If he doesn't see what a great girl you are, then that's his fault for being such a dense head. Now then, quite worrying." She smiled lightly and continued. "You look gorgeous. If he doesn't fall for you at first sight, then he's either retarded, blinde, or gay. Heck," she giggled lightly, "I'd date you if you were this cute when I met you."
Kottan flushed bright red. She knew by now this was Alice's way of joking. After all, she was as straight as a ruler. Still, it made her so happy to hear such positivity from her friend... Although, the braveness she had gained from her friend's speech soon disappeared when she caught a glimpse of the man of her dream coming her way. Kottan paniced and was about to run when Alice grabbed her hand.
"Oh no you don't. You're going to talk to him, make him fall in love with you, and live happily ever after like the little princess you are. Now, don't make me drag you~."
All Kottan could do was blush lightly and nod before following her best friend's orders.
