Rating: Unsure so far, at the moment PG-13, with a good chance of it getting to Mature

Ok, so I was watching MTV’s MADE and this story line just hit me.

Prologue:

Hi, My name is Liz Parker. This next school year I’ll be a senior at West Roswell High. I’m your normal, everyday high school geek, with the nerdy glasses, braces, and bad clothes. I have one true friend in school, and his name is Alex Whitman, and he’s a geek just like me. Alex and I want to be MADE… we want to be popular. And in order to be popular at West Roswell High, you have to know how to dance.

There’s this hot, underage club called SHAG, and all the popular kids go to it almost every night. Just going there and doing any kind of dancing will not get you into the folds of popularity. You have to prove yourself. You have to have the attitude, the look and most definitely the moves.

In West Roswell High, the popular kids are put into two different groups. The first group is the popular “Bitches” as we call them. The name itself should tell you everything. These are the girls and guys that are popular because they bring other people down, and normal students are just to scared to fight them back, so they get away with it.

And then we have the second group… they are the absolute shining stars of West Roswell High. They are gorgeous, in to some kind of sport, do pretty damn well in school, and are all around good people. Now they may be nice to you, but it is very difficult to get into this group, mainly because they have been friends forever. First we’ve got the leader of the group, Max Evan, the sexiest man on the planet. (Have you figured out how my midnight fantasies are about?) He’s captain of the basketball team, class president, member of NHS (as are all of them, as well as Alex and I), and did I mention that for the last two years has been my lab partner. Next there is Isabel Evans, otherwise known as the Ice Princess, and Max Evans’ sister. She co-captain for the cheerleading squad, and the object of Alex’s horny teenage boy fantasy. Then there is Mickey G, Mr. Stonewall himself. He’s part of the football team, Maria Deluca’s boyfriend, and ironicly the artistic one of the group. Next there’s Maria Deluca, she’s the hippy flower child one of the group. She’s also co-captain along with Isabel, she loves to sing (she’s in choir, musicals, anywhere that she can sing – and she has an amazing voice), and she happens to be one of my co-workers at my dad’s restaurant The Crashdown. Next there’s Tessa Harding, the blonde bubbly one of the group. She’s also on the cheerleading squad, class vice president, and all around school sweetheart, and the girlfriend of Kyle Valenti. Last but not least, is Kyle, he’s the all around high school jock with a big heart. He’s captain of the football team, on the basketball and soccer team. He’s dad just so happens to be the Sheriff of our little town as well.

And this is the group that Alex and I want so desperately to be a part of… MTV we want to me MADE!



So what do you think... should I keep going?

Part 1:

Today I’m going to meeting my MADE coach. I’m so excited! Alex and I are both getting our own coaches, as well as totally separate training schedule. I’m totally bummed, I wanted to train together, but I figure the producers know what they are doing.

Let me tell you a little bit more about myself. My name is Liz Parker, and I’m a geek. I’m liked in my school, but really only have Alex as a friend. I get the feeling that people think that I’m a goody-two shoe, and don’t know how to have fun. I don’t do well in-group situations because I’m pretty much a loner. Which is why I want to be MADE. I’m tired of everyone looking at me as if I’m this sweet little girl, which does no wrong.

I’m also doing this because a huge crush on Max Evans. I’ve been his lab partner for two years, but other than talking in class, and the random “Hello” in the hallway, he doesn’t know I exist.

So, here I am waiting for my MADE coach.

And here she comes. Oh, shit I’m in trouble.

“Hello, Liz. My name is Nicole, and I’m going to be your MADE coach.”

I than find out that Nicole isn’t just your normal gorgeous woman, she’s a Pussy Cat Doll! Well, I figure if anyone can make me into a woman that men fantasize about it would be a Pussy Cat Doll!

I was pretty intimidated when I first met Nicole, but after talking to her, and telling her my story, and everything that I want, and she just listened to me, and that made me feel comfortable.

“Ok, so Liz we are going to be doing a few things to help you out. First off, we are going to get you contacts, and see if there is anything that we can do with those braces. Slowly we are going to start changing your appearance. Nothing drastic at first, start with probably a haircut and a few new outfits. Slowly, we are going to get rid of that wardrobe of yours, and give you a totally new one. We want to do this slowly, because we all know how high school students can be, and we want this to be a good experience for you not a bad one.
Tonight, we are going to Shag and see just want is hot here in Roswell. We are also going to be checking out what will make Max Evans take a second look at you and not just see his faithful lab partner. I promise you Liz, that with my guidance we will be having him panting for you and you will be in the folds of popularity.”

Oh my goodness, this is really happening!


Ok, so here we are outside of Shag. I no longer have my glasses, no sporting a brand new pair of contacts. I still have my braces, but we went to my orthodontist and he said that there would be no problem with getting them removed next week. We had already planned on having them off by the end of next month, so a few months shouldn’t hurt as long as I wear my retainer. I’m even wearing a new outfit. Nicole took me shopping; she had bought me a cut black mini-skirt (she said that every girl needs at least one in their wardrobe) with this hot pick tank top that says “GOOD GIRLS DO BAD THINGS.” We had looked at this pair of black high-heeled boots, but decided that was a little much for my first time out, and just went with a pair of cute tennis shoes.

“Ok Liz, we are just going to scope the place out tonight. No big dancing, no major interaction with any of the “popular” kids.”

Just then, Maria Deluca walks by us. “Oh my God, Liz is that you? Is that a new outfit? It looks great on you. ”

“Oh, thanks, Maria, how are you?” I ask nervously looking at Nicole, who is smiling at me encouragingly.

“I’m doing good” Maria gives Nicole a curious look.

“Maria, this is Nicole. Nicole, this is Maria.” I introduce the two of them

“Well, I have to go inside and meet up with Michael and the rest of my crew. Hopefully, I’ll see you around. It’s good to see you outside of the Crashdown! Bye!” With that Maria walks past the line of people waiting to get in, whispers something to the bouncer and walks in.

The bouncer looks at us, and motions Nicole and I to come forward. “You guys can go on in.”

I am totally shocked! Did Maria actually tell him to let us in?

“Well, that was easier than I excepted” Nicole murmurs.

I notice right away that people are looking at Nicole and me. I even see Maria waving at us from across the club. I hesitantly give her a small wave back.

“Jeez, it looks like this whole thing is going to be a lot easier than I thought.”

“Don’t be so sure, I already told you, they are a very nice group, but it’s still hard to get into their fold.”

“Well, come on. Lets work the room a little.”

Nicole and I walk to club, slowly making our way around the room. Nicole is taking special not of what is happening on the dance floor. You can tell quickly that dance is a part of Nicole. Even when we are walking she looks like she’s dancing.

“So, can you see Max?” Nicole asks.

I quickly scan the room before spotting him on the dance floor dancing with a beautiful blonde. “There he is, dancing with the blonde,” I whisper sadly to Nicole, pointing him out discreetly.

“Well, Liz, he is definitely a bon-a-fide hottie!” Nicole whistles approvingly.

“Tell me something I don’t already know. You know, this is useless, he’s never going to look twice at me.”

At that exact moment, Max Evans looks at smiles and me. And not only does he smile, but he winks at me.

I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. This may actually work!

First I want to thank everyone who's replied to this fic. It's been a long, long, long time since I've last written a story on this board. I'm usually just a lurker. So again thanks.

Also, wanted you all to know, that this is pretty much going to be from Liz's POV. I'll be showing snippets of Alex's tranformation, but this is mainly a M/L story.

And on we go with the show!


Part 2:

“Liz, today at school you’re going to try to start up a conversation with one of the girls from the group. I would suggest Maria, because she seems to want to open up to you. Also you work together as well, so that would be a solid ground to start on.”

Nicole and I are in my room getting me ready for the first day back at school. We actually found some outfits in my own closet that I didn’t realize that I had. Nicole went through my closet to see if I had anything in there that would go with my new look. I had a couple pairs of jeans that my parents bought me; I never wore them because when I tried them on I thought they were too small. Nicole tells me that they are low-rider jeans, and with how low they hang on my hips (I personally think they hang really low, but Nicole assures me that everyone is wearing them.) if we can find a tee-shirt or something maybe we can show some skin. Then Nicole finds THE SHIRT; you know the shirt that you buy at the store because in enclosed spaces it makes you feel sexy. However, then you get home, and you realize that this shirt is something totally different from what you usually wear, and you become self-conscious and shove it into the closet way in the back hoping to never see it again. Nicole is so excited; she can’t believe that I’ve “had this sexy treasure in my closet this whole time!” Her words… not mine.

So here I am in these tight jeans that feel like they are riding up my ass, supposedly I have a very nice ass (according to Nicole) and I need to start showing it off, and this halter-top thing that stops just above my belly button.

“How am I suppose to start up a conversation with Maria, the only thing we have in common is working for my dad?” I ask nervously, trying to tug the shirt down over my belly button, so that I’m not showing as much skin.

“Sweetie, stop tugging the shirt down. It’s supposed to be like that, you’re suppose to be showing some skin.” Nicole give me an ‘I know what I’m doing’ look, and finishes up my eye make-up.

That’s right people; I’m actually wearing makeup. Nicole assumes me that I’m not wearing too much, and that it will highlight the best features in my face. Whatever that means. Tonight Nicole is going to show me exactly what she did, so that I can do it on my own.

Tonight I’m also going to get my haircut. I have no idea what they are going to do to it, but I have to admit I’m getting pretty excited. (AN: Picture Mandy Moore’s hair in A Walk To Remember, that’s what Liz’s hair looks like)
“Use your job as a stepping stone in the conversation. I would suggest trying to find a time where Maria is alone, so that you can have a decent conversation. It doesn’t have to be a major thought provoking, insightful conversation, just something light, to show her your alive, and that you’re someone she would like to get to know.”

I nod nervously at Nicole, taking notes in my head of what I wanted to say.


*************************************************************

“Hey, Maria how are you doing girl?” No that’s stupid. “Hey, Maria, have you seen our new menu?” Of course she’s seen our new menu, she’s been working there for over a year, and the new menu went out a month ago. “Maria, does Max have a girlfriend?” NO,NO,NO!!!

Ok, I can’t do this. I’m walking into school mumbling to myself. People are giving me weird looks, I’m not sure if it’s because of the clothes or the fact that I’m talking to myself. And I can’t figure out anything to say to Maria when I see her.

And just then, I see my salvation, here comes Alex, and he looks amazing! Gone are the dorky clothes. He used to wear slacks and a button down shirt to school every day. Today is the first day I’ve seen him in jeans and a tee shirt at school in I don’t know how long! And do I actually glimpse a chain hanging from his pocket?

“My God, Alex, you look amazing!!” I squeal with excitement, rushing him with a hug.

“Liz, you look absolutely gorgeous! Showing some skin, and is that make-up I see?” Alex teases me while he swings me in a circle.

So we are definitely drawing some attention now.

“Low and behold, do I see Max Evans checking you out?” Alex wonders with a smirk on his face.

“I think your seeing things,” I laugh giddily.

“No, he’s definitely checking out your ass.”

“Really? Does he seem to like it?” I’m so excited that I had to hold myself from jumping up and down.

Alex just laughs at me, puts his arm around my shoulder and walks us to our first class.

*************************************************************

“Hey, Liz, you look great today! Isabel, Tess and I were all mentioning in last period how beautiful you look today.” Maria informs me, as she stops to talk to me at lunch.

“Oh, thanks, Maria. It’s just something I’m trying.” I state casually, while inside I’m screaming, jumping up and down, and doing a little happy jig.

“Well, keep going with it, girl. You were always pretty, but with this look, I don’t know, you’re radiant!”

Oh. My. God. Did Maria just say that I was always pretty?

“Thanks, again. So how’s your first day back going?”

“Well, we are seniors now, so that in itself makes it pretty nice. But, so far I’ve got good teachers.”

“That’s cool, do you know what the play is going to be this year?”

“Yeah, they are going to do Bye, Bye, Birdie! It’s one of my favs, I can’t wait. I hope to get the lead.”

“I don’t think you’ll have any problem with that. You’ve been the lead in all musicals since your sophomore year.”

“Thanks, Liz. Well, I see Michael waving me over. You have a great day Liz. Hopefully we can start becoming friends outside of the Crash.”

“Yeah, that would be nice.” I wave her goodbye. Well, that went easier than I thought. I sneak a peek at the group as she walks by. Do my eyes deceive me? Did Max Evans just smile and nod his head at me?

Ho…ly….Shit. I need Nicole!

Part 3:

I drove home as quickly as I could without getting into an accident. I had so much to tell Nicole! After lunch I had science again with Max, and for the first time his chose me to be his partner! Usually the teacher assigns our lab partners, but this year she left it up to us to decide. I had figured that Max would have chosen one of his friends as his partner, but he came right up to me and asked if I’m ready for a third year with him. “We work really well together, Liz, and it would be stupid to stop a tradition.” And he smiled his smile, and I turned into mushy glob goo.

On a similar side note, from what I heard and saw, Alex’s day seemed to go as well as mine. Girls were noticing him, he even was asked on a date by one of the cheerleaders. I’m not sure if he said yes, but personally I think he would be stupid not too. The best thing was when I witnessed Isabel do a double take when he walked by her; she kept watching him until he rounded the corner. It was classic.

I run into the house change into some workout clothes and drive over to the dance studio where Nicole is waiting for me. This is going to be our first lesson, and I’m so excited!

“Hey, Liz, so how did your first day back go?” Nicole asks while she gives me a hug at the door.

“Oh, Nicole, it was great!” and I go on telling her about my day.

“Liz, this is so awesome! I predict that you are going to be popular even before the five weeks are over!”

We walk into the studio; glass mirrors surround it so that you can observe your every move.

“Ok, so I’m going to take these 5 weeks and teach you every possible thing there is to know about dancing. The first thing you’ve got to know is the beat of the music. If you can find the beat, than you can dance. We are going to do any kind of dancing that will be at that club. We are going to work on slow dancing, hip-hop, grinding, and the latest popular dance trends.”

We spent the next hour and a half dancing. I was a little stiff and self-conscious to begin with but by the end I was doing pretty good.

“You’re catching on really quickly, so I’m going to talk to the director, I have an idea but I want to run it by him first.”

We went to get my hair cut after practice. We ended up putting highlights and cutting it just past my shoulders with layers. I’m really happy with the way it looks; I’m starting to feel like a new person.

**************************************************************

Nicole and I go back to the club the next night, and were able to get right in again. To my surprise, I see Alex there as well.

“Hey, Alex, I didn’t know that you would be here tonight.”

“Yeah, Wade decided it would be a good idea to have a look around. Liz, this is my MADE coach Wade. Wade, this is my best friend Liz.”

“Hey, Liz, it’s nice to meet you.” Wade smiles at me.

“Hi. You too. Alex, I’d like you to me my coach. Alex, this is Nicole. Nicole, this is my best friend Alex.” Nicole shakes hands with Alex and Wade.

“Well, Liz, Wade and I are going to walk around for a bit. Save me a dance!”

“You know I will.”

“Liz, Alex is pretty cute, did you ever think about hooking up with him?” Nicole asks as we walk towards the bar.

“We tried the whole boyfriend and girlfriend thing a year ago. It was too weird, it was like kissing my favorite cousin.” I tell her, while ordering both of us a Diet Coke.

“Alright, tonight is all about having fun. You need to get peoples attention, show them that you’re not Shy Liz anymore. You are going to dance with any guy who asks you to. And it might take awhile for someone to ask, so until then we are just going to have fun out there.” With that Nicole drags me out onto the dance floor.

Just as we hit the dance floor, one of my secret favorite songs comes on. You know that song that if anyone actually knew that you knew it, they would be shocked. The one that you blast on your stereo when you parents aren’t home.

I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
you lock me up inside your dirty cage
well I'm alone inside my mind
I like to teach you all the rules
I get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
but then your secrets never show

I just let the music take over me, as I’m dancing and singing along to it. And like I said Nicole is totally shocked that I know this song. I have my hands over my head, flinging my head back and forth, and just rocking to the music.

I need to feel you
you need to feel me
I can't control you
you're not the one for me
no
I can't control you
you can't control me
I need to feel you
so why's there even you and me

All of the sudden I notice that Tess, Isabel and Maria have joined Nicole and I. Which means just behind them are Kyle, Max and Michael. Maria is right next to me and we start singing the song together. I notice out of the corner of my eye that Nicole is backing up letting me be alone with them.

I like the way you rake my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
'cause I'm that guy you'll never find
I think you know all of the rules
there's no expressions on your face
I hope that someday you will let me go
release me from my dirty cage

Maria, Tess, Isabel and I are really getting into the song, singing at the top of our lung and dancing like crazy. I even see Alex joining in, and I give him a special smile.

I need to feel you
you need to feel me
I can't control you
you're not the one for me
no
I can't control you
you can't control me
I need to feel you
so why's there even you and me

All of a sudden I notice that we’ve all separated into couples. Maria and Michael, Tess and Kyle are grinding against each other. Isabel is dancing up to Alex. And Max has somehow situated himself behind me.

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I don’t know what came over me, but I’m singing this part to Max, slapping my ass as the song says. Maria joins in and all of a sudden all of us girls are sing this part at the top of our voices, slapping and shaking our asses. Somehow Max even slaps my ass, and damn it felt good. I can hear Nicole screaming in the background, I look at her and she has this huge smile on her face.

I need to feel you
you need to feel me
I can't control you
you're not the one for me
no
I can't control you
you can't control me
I need to feel you
so why's there even you and me

You and me
You’re not the one for me no

Control – Puddle of Mudd

By the end of the song I’m leaning against Max with his arms around my waist, with the hugest smile on my face.

Part 4:

“Liz, I’m just in total shock! I can’t believe how quickly that group is taking you in!” Nicole exclaims the next morning.

Last night was absolutely amazing. After the song was over Maria immediately grabbed my hand and dragged me to THEIR corner of the club with the two other girls chatting excitedly behind me. I notice out of the corner of my eye that Alex is getting pats on the back by the guys as they led him over to the pool tables. All the girls were asking me questions “Why haven’t you ever been to the club before?” “What happened to your glasses?” “Where did you get your hair done, it looks great.” And so on. Nicole stayed in the background for the most of the night, just watching me. She would shoot me a smile of encouragement every time I looked her way.

“Well, I always said that they were nice. They almost always talk to me, whether it’s in the restaurant, class, lunch or the hallways in between classes. About a year ago there were quite a few times that one of the girls had asked me to go the club with them, or if I wanted to see a movie or something.” I state with a shrug, while carefully applying my make-up.

“Oh, Liz, you poor, clueless ex-geekette… They were trying to become you friends all this time! Why did you never say yes?”

“I just thought that they were being nice. I didn’t really think they meant it. And then they quit asking me.” Now I really feel foolish. Is it true, had they really been trying to reach out to me last year? Were they really trying to become my friends? And did I really just blow it off so casually?

“Well, we are going to make up for lost time. So, I talked to the director about my surprise and he’s going along with it so now I just need you to go along with it” I give Nicole a curious look. “Well, I found out that Maria, Isabel and Tess are all on the Homecoming Committee and that they are still looking for some more people to join. So, you, my dear are going to tell them today that you heard that they are still looking for members and would like to help out. Now from what I’ve witnessed so far, they are going to take you in with open arms. Now, at this meeting, which just so happens to be tonight, you are going to let them know that you have a way of getting the Pussy Cat Dolls to play at the dance. Now if they ask, tell them the truth, tell them exactly who I am and how I’m helping you. Now don’t let them know that this is a definite yet, which it is because I’ve already called all the girls and they are all for it, just tell them that it’s already an 80-90% chance. And here’s the best part, when it become “official” in a day or two, you will tell them that we (as in the Pussy Cat Dolls) thought that it would be fun to have a few girls from your school to learn the dance ruetene and dance with us on stage. Now, of course, you are going to be one of the girls and you get to choose the other three that get to dance with us. Now, I wonder who you will choose?” Nicole teases. “So, what do you think?”

“Nicole, I can’t believe this. I can’t thank you enough, we’ve only just begun and already you’ve helped me so much” I can feel tears welling up.

“Liz, it was always in you. You just needed someone to make you see it. You were just so self-conscious and scared that you never took a chance” she said giving me a hug. “Well, we’re not going to meet tonight for practice since you will have that meeting. If the girls asks if you want to go out afterwards, do not say no. Okay?”

“I promise!”

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

The first thing I see as I walk into school is that Alex is talking to Michael and Kyle. I’m so happy for him, people are finally realizing was a great person he is.

“Well, if it isn’t little geeky Lizzie Parker” Pam Troy, one of the members of the “Bitch” group, sneers. “Well, look at you… You do realize just how stupid you look. You’re not fooling anyone; you may have contacts, new clothes, and a new hairdo, but we all know what you are… nothing but a worthless want-a-be!”

“Really, Pam, I always thought you were the want-a-be” Isabel says from behind me. I notice that along with her, Maria, Michael, Alex, Tess, Kyle and Max are all there. Isabel puts her arm around my shoulder.

“No, Isabel, you’re wrong. Pam’s not a want-a-be, she is a bitch” I say. Oh, shit! Where the hell did that come from? I hear everyone laugh behind me.

“Liz, you are so right, my bad” Isabel laughs.

“Listen, you little bit…” Pam starts to say

“I wouldn’t finish that if I were you,” Kyle warns, “You don’t want to mess with her. You mess with her, you mess with us.”

“Well, aren’t you lucky, you’ve become their pity case for the week,” Pam gets into my face and starts to jam her finger into my chest. “But, don’t worry; they’ll realize what a loser you really are.”

“Didn’t you get the warning the first time, keep your filthy hand off her” Max shoves her hand away from me.

“You seem to forget where you rank in this hierarchy, Pam. Liz is one of us, she’s above you” Maria sneers at Pam. “Now, back up, skank, we want to get through.” With that Maria shoved Pam to the side and walked past her. Isabel grab my hand and walks past Pam as well.

“Thanks you guys, Pam can be such a bitch as times.”

“At times?” Michael laughs, wrapping an arm around my waist, “Besides, there’s no need for thanks. After last night, we all voted and you are now one of us, half-pint” he ends with ruffling my hair.

“Half-pint? Michael were you watching Little House on the Prairie, again?” Tess teases.

“There was a Michael Landon marathon on TV Land last night.” We all laugh.

“Well, it’s better than Liz’s nick name that her dad calls her.”

“Alex, don’t you dare!” I rush to him trying to cover his mouth.

“Winkie,” Alex laughs around my hand. “When Liz was little, she became obsessed with the Winkies from the Wizard of Oz. She would march around her house with this big furry green hat sing “Oh-we-oh-oh-o.”

“That’s so cute!” Maria exclaims.

“So, anyways, I was actually looking for you girls,” I quickly change the subject, while sending Alex an ‘I’m so going to get you back’ look. “I heard that you were still looking for members for the Homecoming Committee.”

“Yes, we are. Are you interested?” Tess asks.

“I’d like to join if it’s ok with you.”

“Of course, it’s ok! This will be so much fun, now we can get to know you better! We can talk about everything! We can compare dates, dresses, makeup. You can finally tell me where you got your hair cut. Maybe I can talk you into talking your father into changing our uniforms…”

“Easy there, speedy. Let the girl comprehend your first few sentences. She’s not use to your month like we are!” Michael laughs.

“Are you saying there’s something wrong with my month, Spaceboy?”

“No, actually I’m in love with it.” He whispers before giving her heated kiss.

“Ok, guys, remember this is a PG-13 establishment,” Alex laughs.

“Fine, let’s go somewhere that’s NC-17… Eraser room here we come!” I hear Isabel and Tess groan in the background, while Max, Kyle and Alex laugh.

Because of stupid Wilma it's looking like my vacation to Key West next week isn't happening. I'm totally bummed and pissed off, so I decided to releave some tension by writing. Hopefully you guys like it!!!



Part 5:

"Alright, as mentioned at our last meeting we still need to come up with a theme for the dance this year" Isabel stated.

"I was thinking since the dance falls on Halloween this year, Halloween should be our theme" said Stacy, a sophomore and member of the JV cheerleading squad.

"I had an idea as well, how about 'Great Couples Through-Out History'?" asked a freshman.

"Mandy, you stole that idea from Never Been Kissed" Maria says, "anyways I like the idea of dressing up in Halloween costumes, you have more of a variety that way."

"Oh, we can also change the Homecoming Queen and King, to the Homecoming Witch and Warlock, or something like that," I throw out an idea.

"That would be cool. We could also turn the gym into a haunted mansion!" Tess squeals, getting all excited with the idea.

“Oh, we could also make the entry way a maze instead of the red carpet that we usually do” Stacy throws in.

"Well, if we do that kind of deco, we will need more than just the 6 of us working on this," I state.

"Well, we can definitely get Max, Michael, and Kyle to help. Liz, do you think Alex could help as well?" Isabel questions.

"I don't see why not, we can ask him tomorrow. I bet my parents could help, maybe I can talk my dad into having the restaurant do some kind of catering for the dance."

"That would be great, Liz. So it seems that we have our theme, but want do we want to call it?" Isabel throws out another question, while writing down all of our suggestions.

"Dracula's Disco?" another one of Mandy's brilliant ideas.

"How about The Monster Bash?" Tess asks. Everyone quickly agrees with the name. We spend the next hour finalizing everything. I waited until Stacy and Mandy left before telling the girls about me being on MADE.

"Before we leave, I have some exciting new. There is a really good chance that I can get the Pussy Cat Dolls to perform at the dance." All of a sudden I'm bombarded with questions.

"Well, your guys have noticed how I've changed almost over night, right?" They all nod. "Well, I had some help, actually I had a lot of help, and in fact MTV is helping me out. Have you seen the new series on MTV, MADE." They nodded again. "Well, Alex and I thought that it would be cool to interview for it, really not thinking that they would actually pick us. Well they did. That's why Alex and I have changed so much, we're on MADE."

"What exactly did you want to be MADE into?" Tess asked.

"We were tired of being geeks. We wanted to be liked, and we wanted to be popular. So, I got a coach and she is working with me. She was there when I got my contacts and my braces off. She's helping me with make-up, clothes, even dancing."

"Why did you feel that you had to be MADE to be liked?" this is from Maria.

"I was so insecure, self-conscious, shy... I needed someone help me get out of that stage."

"But we were trying to do that all last year," Maria looks at me, as if she thought I didn't think they were good enough to help me.

"I realize that now. But then, I just thought you were being nice. I didn't realize that you really wanted to become my friend. I didn't think there would be anyway that any of you would look at me and not see a geek. I was so sure that it would take forever to feel comfortable with you guys, I thought that you would still see me as only a geek. If I knew then what I know now, I would have done it differently."

"Well, I'm glad you told us the truth. We did wonder what made you do a 180 so quickly, I just glad that it happened," Isabel said, reaching out and giving me a hug, which quickly led Maria and Tess to follow. "So tell us more about this whole thing about being able to get the Pussy Cat Dolls."

"Well, my coach, Nicole, is a member of the Pussy Cat Dolls. She was the one who actually came up with the idea. It's not 100% because she has to get the other girls to agree, but she's about 85% sure that it's going to happen."

"Oh, this will be so cool!"

"So, Liz what are you still doing with your make-over?" Tess asked.

"Well, Nicole meets me at a dance studio in town where she is teaching me how to dance, I wanted to be able to go to Shag and not make a fool out of myself. She's still taking me shopping..."

"Now, what I want to know is, how is she going to help you bag Max?" Maria questions with a smirk.

"M-M-Max... wh-w-what are you talking about?"

"Oh, don't give me that. You think we haven't notice the 'come hither' looks you've been throwing his way?" Maria laughs.

"I have not been sending him 'Come hither' looks!"

"Yeah, it's more like love sick gazes. And don't think we didn't notice the little winks and touches he's been giving you!" Isabel says. We are now starting to walk out of the room and she links her arm through mine, while Maria takes my other arm.

"Now, in order for this to really work, you are going to need our help. I mean, combined, we know Max inside and out!" Tess informs me.

"You guys will help me?"

"That's what girlfriends are for. Now, let's go get ready at my house and then go to the club," Maria shouts, "It's time to get your man!

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

“Here, try this on… you’re going to look sooo hot!” Maria tosses me a black strip of fabric, I think is suppose to be a dress. I shake it out and hold it in front of me; I’ll be surprised if it reaches the middle of my thighs. “Quit looking at the dress and put it on!” I just give her a doubtful look. “Liz, trust me.”

“Ok, let me try this on.” I quickly go into Maria adjoining bathroom. As I close the door, I look at myself in the mirror. “Well this is what you were wanting, there’s no turning back now.” I shed my clothes quickly and pull on the dress. “Hey can someone come in here and tie up the back of the dress for me?” Instead of just one, they all file into the bathroom. Tess securely ties the back of the dress before turning me around to model the dress.

“Liz, you look so sexy! Max is going to be panting after you like a little dog all night long!” Maria jumps up and down, almost spilling out of her bra.
The dress is extremely tiny, at least the smallest dress I’ve every worn. It kind of reminds me of the dress from Sex and the City, you know the dress that Cary wears on her first date with Mr. Big, the naked dress. This dress however shows even more skin. It’s a halter-top dress that’s tied in the back. I can’t wear a bra with it because it’s also backless, and it’s cut so far down that I have to wear the skimpiest pair of panties I’ve ever worn. As I predicted it falls just to the middle of my thighs, showing a lot of leg. “I don’t have shoes for this.”

“What size do you wear?” Maria asks running to her closet.

“A seven.”

“Oh, that’s great. So do I, and I have the perfect pair!” and Maria holds up a pair of boots, and not just any boots but bon-a-fide ‘fuck me’ boots.

“Oh, my God.”

“Come on put them on, and I’ll work on your hair and make-up” Isabel quickly guides me to the bed.

After about forty-five minutes we are on the road to the club. Maria is wearing a bright lime green leather mini skirt with a black wife beater and lime green flip-flops. Isabel is wearing a burgundy red tank top with a pair of skintight jeans and black high-heeled boots. Tess is wearing a pair of Capri army pants with a tight small white tee shirt and a pair of knee high combat boots. We all look totally different, yet we totally compliment each other.

We get to the club in record time, park in the back and enter through the VIP entrance that I had no idea was here. I’m looking around me when we enter the club and I don’t notice that the guys are waiting for us.

“Liz! Wow is all I can say” Alex whispers in my ear. I just give him a big grin.

“Hey, you.” Max slides up to me, putting his hand on my bareback. I actually feel a shiver go down my back. Max gently starts leading me to the dance floor. I keep trying to sneak peeks at him, but every time I try he’s already looking at me, so I end up just giving him shy smiles.

California...knows how to party
California...knows how to party
In the citaaay of L.A.
In the citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!

Max pulls me to him, situating me so that I’m strattling one of his legs. He slowly leans towards and whispers “Do you know how fuckin’ sexy you look?” He starts to move his hips, putting his hand on my hip as I start to sway.

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, Wild West
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits yaw eardrum like a slug to yaw chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beat
The state where yaw never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
Lean mean money-making-machines serving fiends
I been in the game for ten years making rap tunes
Ever since honeys was wearing Sassoon
Now it's ‘95 and they clock me and watch me
Diamonds shining looking like I robbed Liberace
It's all good, from Diego to tha Bay
Your city is tha bomb if your city makin pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Dre puttin it down for
Californ-i-a

I turn around in his arms and throw my arms behind his neck, swaying against him. He wraps one arm around my waist while the other rubs up and down my thigh. I look over at Maria, and the next thing I know we are grinding against each other, with Michael still wrapped around Maria’s back and Max grinding against mine.

California...knows how to party

Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it shake it shake it...
Isabel and Tess have now joined us and we are shaking it. I back up against Max and he pulls me closer as I start to shake my ass against him. He quickly turns me around and returns us to our original position so that I’m practically riding his leg. I’m getting hotter by the minute as I feel his hands moving all over me, until they finally land on my ass pulling me closer to him.

Out on bail fresh outta jail
California dreamin
Soon as I stepped on the scene
I'm hearin hoochies screamin
Fiendin for money and alcohol
the life of a west side playa where cowards die
Only in Cali where we riot now rallies are live and die
In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies (that's right)
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do
Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews
Famous cause we program worldwide
Let'em recognize from Longbeach to Rosecrans
Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it's west side
So you know the row won't bow down to no man
Say what you say
But give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of L.A.
From Oakland to Sacktown
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
Give me love!
I’m still dancing against Max. God, if he moves this like this when we are dancing, he’s going to be amazing in bed. Max must be thinking the same thing because he whispers in my ear “God, Liz, you move so well with me. I swear… you’re made to be wrapped around me. We are going to be amazing together in everything we do!” Without another word, he slants his mouth against mine.

I never imaged that my first kiss would be like this. I always thought that it would be that first time fumbling , clashing of noses, figuring out who is tilting their head which way. This kiss turned my most extreme fantasy kiss to a G-Rating. It’s like he’s making love to my month. He traced my lips with his tongue asking to enter, before I tentatively allowed him in. His tongue caressed my tongue, his lips sucked my lips, and his hand tangles up with my hair pulling me even tighter against him.

uh, yeah, uh, longbeach in tha house, uh yeah

California Love – 2Pac
My arms were wrapped around him, pulling him back when he started to pull away to finally let us breath. I didn’t care about oxygen, all I wanted was his lips back on mine. Max doesn’t take his eyes off me as he caresses my cheek, his hand slowly gliding down my neck to the outer swell of my chest before wrapping around my waist. “Liz Parker, I have been dreaming of kissing you like that for a long time. The fantasy didn’t even come close to comparing with the real life. I can’t wait to see what else exceeds my fantasies.”

Sorry it's taken so long to update... I just got back from vacation a few days ago, and now one of my co-workers is on vacation which means longer days for me. I keep wondering why I wanted to become a manager... Banquets were so much more fun before I had to start managing them!! I'm hoping that I'll have the next part up by Wednesday.
