Melody wanted to look nice for Topher. It was freezing outside, so she couldn't wear something nice without freezing to death. Well, she would still wear something nice, but it wouldn't be a dress or a skirt or anything fancy. The parties were mostly outside after all, so layered clothes it would be.
So that left only one more option, and one that she had absolutely no experience with. She might have tried putting on makeup once or twice before in her life, and that never under pressure (not that she felt pressured, she just really wanted it to look nice!). And even then it had resulted in her almost poking her eyes out with the eye liner. No chance she would let that happen tonight!
So she went to the best person for advice she could think of. She was already dressed warmly, jeans, a sweater and a warm parka over that, with gloves in the pockets, a scarf and a beanie on her red hair. Knocking on Swift's door she waited until he opened, then thrust the evil eye liner pen at him desperately. "I need your help!" she exclaimed. "I can't do this on my own!" Dramatic? Maybe just a little.
