Mercedes walked into the party a little later than most of the others - her costume had taken a little while longer than she had expected to put on. The skirt was tight, and the cute little green hat had taken about a thousand pins to keep on her head. But damn, did she look fabulous - Kurt would appreciate the extra time she took on it, she was sure.
So, with her best friend's gift tucked under her arm, she made her way to the center of the theater to join Tina and Brittany, her heels clacking on the floor as she walked. They were helping Mrs. Hummel to set up, so she joined in, thinking that she may as well make herself as useful as she could in the tight skirt and heels.
"You two look hot!" Mercedes greeted, giving them both a once over as she she grabbed some things from Tina's overfull arms and began to arrange them on the folding table. "Everybody looks good, actually. Kurt'll think he died and went to fashion heaven."
Well, almost everybody. Two of the Warblers Mercedes had only met briefly argued behind her - Jeff and Wes, she thought. Jeff had apparently bought a ticket to crazy town and come to the party dressed like a nun. Shaking her head, she got to work, starting to get excited about the night ahead.
