Monkey had successfully landed the ship and then gone back to her room to shower and change. When she got back to her room, she looked at her bed. Then the clock. She had a few minutes, she could take a cat nap. Yawning slightly, she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. She was asleep within minutes. And she slept for far too long. At the end of one of her r.e.m cycles her conciousness took hold and she shot into a sitting position. Fuck! She was late.
Ripping her clothes off, she ran into her bathroom and showered in record time. She toweled off and stood in front of the mirror, quickly throwing her hair up into an updo. She slicked her hair down and parted it on the side, sweeping her bangs across her forhead and then twisted the remainder up into curls and knots. She schelacked it with hairspray so it would keep the wet look even after it had dried. She swept some makeup on and painted her lips red.
Jetting to her wardrobe she flicked through the dresses hanging there. She knew exactly which one she wanted to wear. It was a short red number with thin straps and a fitted bodice. The skirt flared at the tops of her thighs and fell in jagged strips of sheer red material. She pulled some red shoes out of a drawer and began to assemble herself. A pair of dangly diamond earrings, a diamond necklace and tennis bracelet completed the ensemble and she gave herself one last look in the mirror before she headed for the dinghy bay.
She jumped into one and flew off toward the landing pad. She knew Nate had her by a few minutes and hoped she wouldn't miss him. She was in luck! It looked as if they were just landing themselves. She touched down and hopped out of the dinghy. "Hey! Wait for me." She nearly twisted her ankle in the strappy heels and cursed in Spanish. She shuffle-ran toward the couple as they got out of their dinghy.
"Sorry, I fell asleep! And I was not about to miss a meeting with the Immortal! Let's go!" She flashed them a smile, caught her breath and raised a dark brow.
