Be More Dazzling Part 5

"What the heck am I doing!?"
>Wallflower was all but pulling her hair out as she walked circles around her room.
>"Panicking," ADAGIO pointed out flatly. "Pacing."
"I can't go on a date with Coco! I have no idea what to do, where to go!"
>"Shocking," ADAGIO quipped snidely.
"I- I'm not even into girls!"
>"Now that," ADAGIO said sternly, frowning at Wallflower, "Is categorically untrue."
"Oh, shut up!" Wallflower snapped, glaring at the AI. "What do you know?"
>ADAGIO crossed her arms, fixing Wallflower with a raised eyebrow.
"J-just because you-"
>ADAGIO pointed to the laptop.
>The screen lit up, showing the same lesbian porn Wallflower had been watching last.
"That doesn't prove anything!" Wallflower shouted, hurling a pillow through ADAGIO.
>"You're nervous," ADAGIO stated, ignoring the attempted assault on her person.
"Of course I'm nervous! What do I do? I don't have plans, I don't have money, and I promised to take her out tomorrow!"
>ADAGIO smirked.
>"Yes, I noticed that. Good job on the spontaneity, people love that. But next time, TRY not to bumble through everything without a plan.
>Wallflower shot her a hurt glare, but couldn't formulate a comeback.
>ADAGIO smirked.
>"I suppose I could help..." She said, flippantly studying her nails.
>Wallflower sighed in relief, and looked at ADAGIO hopefully.
"You- you'll really help?"
>ADAGIO rolled her eyes.
>"It IS my primary function, after all."
"Oh, r-right." Wallflower blushed.
>ADAGIO's eyes turned predatory.
>"But you'll have to do EXACTLY as I say."

==O==

"W-was this r-really necessary?"
>Wallflower's teeth chattered as she shivered, her bare thighs rubbing against each other as she shifted in the chilly air.
>"Naturally," ADAGIO assured her. "I have thoroughly analyzed your wardrobe, and this is the most appropriate outfit to achieve our goals."
>Wallflower glared at her, crossing her arms for warmth as her eyes cast up to the overcast sky.
"It's just, not really appropriate for the weather, y'know?"
>"Nonsense," ADAGIO countered. "Your outfit is perfectly appropriate for the season. It's important to keep your appearance in mind, especially with Coco working in the fashion industry.
>Wallflower shifted again, blushing at the bareness between her legs.
>ADAGIO had been in charge of dressing her of course.
>She was once again in the too-thin white buttoned shirt, though at least she had been allowed a matching white bra instead of a black one that would show through like last time.
>Her hair was back, combed, conditioned, and ADAGIO had even managed to help her with a touch of makeup.
>But the skirt...
>It wasn't bad, as far as skirts went.
>It was opaque, at least. A professional dark blue, its pleated hem hanging just past her knees.
>Too long for ADAGIO, too short for Wallflower.
>Especially since the AI had ordered her to forgo any sort of underwear.
>Her price for arranging the date.
>Some personal assistant, Wallflower griped internally.
"I can't believe you made me go commando," Wallflower whispered, blushing furiously.
"It's embarrassing! I-it's not like I'm gonna do anything with Coco!"
>ADAGIO smirked devilishly.
>"Maybe it's for my own amusement."
>She reached down, hand passing through the fabric of the skirt.
>Wallflower whimpered as a tingle, an electric touch danced across her nethers.
"C-cut that out!" she protested weakly, unable to swat the nonexistent hand away.
>ADAGIO chuckled.
>"I'm merely showing you how good-"
>"H-hi Wallflower," a small, nervous voice interrupted ADAGIO's teasing.
"Ah, Coco!"
>Wallflower turned to her friend with relief.
"You're here!"
>Coco nodded, blushing shyly.
>"Of- of course. I couldn't- couldn't-"
>Wallflower smiled, stepping closer to Coco as she looked her in the eyes.
"I-it's okay. I'm nervous too."
>She reached out, timidly, fingers brushing Coco's hand before she jerked back, heart pounding in her chest.
>She- she couldn't!
>It wasn't like that!
>Wasn't it?
>She had asked Coco out on a date, but she hadn't meant, like, romantic!
>It was too much!
>"Take her hand," ADAGIO hissed, a dangerous edge to her voice.
>Wallflower started, and noticed Coco looking away in embarrassment.
>She blushed, realizing her friend had picked up on her hesitance.
>She was torn!
>It wasn't like she liked Coco!
>Well, she did like her. Really like her!
>She was her best... maybe only friend!
>But just because ADAGIO said so didn't make her automatically like girls!
>E-even if she couldn't help looking at Maud in the shower...
>Or, or sometimes watched lesbian videos...
>Or had that dream the one time...
>She swallowed thickly, the blood rushing to her cheeks.
>She had to do SOMETHING.
>Romantic or not, if she aborted the date not Coco would hate her forever!
>Taking a deep breath, she clenched her eyes shut and snatched Coco's hand.
>She flinched, squeezing Coco's slender fingers in her own bony hand.
>The world didn't end.
>Her heart didn't stop, though it skipped a couple beats.
>Nothing blew up.
>She exhaled, loosing the breath she was holding, and anxiously opened her eyes.
>Coco was staring down at their hands, eyes wide.
>Wallflower smiled unsteadily.
"H-hey, is that okay?"
>Coco nodded mutely.
>"Uh... uh-huh."
>Wallflower smiled.
>It was so weird!
>Normally SHE was the shy one!
>She giggled, giving Coco's hand another squeeze.
"Hey there."
>Coco blushed, finally meeting her eyes.
>She smiled, a small, nervous thing.
>"H-hi."
>Wallflower's eyes flicked across Coco's face.
>Her wide blue eyes. Her small, cute nose. Her soft-looking lips.
>She stepped back, noting the modest, baby blue dress that matched her friend's hair perfectly.
>She wore a trendy little jacket, and a small, elegant clutch over her shoulder.
>Wallflower envied the jacket.
>Idly, she wondered what Coco was wearing under the skirt.
>Was... was it standard date protocol to go like her?
>Surely not, in a dress that short!
>But if she was...
>Wallflower bit her tongue, hard, to drive away that train of thought.
>Coco was cute.
>Just cute.
>That's all there was to it.
