Title: First Date
Author: celandineb

Pairing: Bill/Tonks
Rating: general
Length: 390 words
Summary: Getting ready for a first date is a little nervous-making.
Note: For ragdoll from coffee_n_cocoa, who suggested Bill/Tonks, with prompts "stockings, braids, fun".
"Oh, bugger, bugger, bugger!" cried Tonks as her fingernail snagged on the delicate fabric. This was the third stocking she had laddered in as many minutes. Stockings weren't something she normally wore, but she wanted to look special tonight; she had waited for it long enough. She set her teeth and started over once again.
When finally both her legs were encased in smooth nylon, she clipped on the suspenders and slid her feet into her shoes. They too were not her usual trainers, although she had sensibly decided against high heels. An evening with Bill wouldn't be much fun if she broke her ankle in the first thirty minutes.
Tonks slithered at last into the short black dress she'd chosen. It had a flippy skirt and ought to be fun for dancing. Her hair was her favorite bubblegum pink, and she put it into braids, except for the fringe which she left curling on her forehead.
She had decided to wear no makeup. Past experience had taught her that she would forget she had it on, rub her eyes, and end up with black circles around them. Not attractive, so best just to leave it off entirely.
A last look in the mirror assured her that she looked acceptable. Tonks grabbed up her purse and her wand and was ready to go.
