Wondering those busy hallways alone always unnerved Charlotte. Yet here she is wondering with no sight of her friend, holding down her skirt while she walked around in circles. She was going from the stall that sold the melon soda to the one that sold the figures of pretty girls, and then back round again.
It seemed that her friend had left the convention without her and she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes "I just want to lay on the floor and cry." She murmured to herself, but she couldn't, her dress would get dirty.So Charlotte found a solitary corner, crouched down to the floor and started to take many shallow breaths. She did this to stop herself from getting too anxious. She was just about to break down when she heard it.
"Hi." A very soft voice greeted her from above.
Charlotte looked up to see a hand reaching for her. "Are you ok, you look upset" asked a very cute girl in a similar sort of dress to Charlotte, but this one was black instead of pink.
"Oh I'm fine, I just.." Charlotte paused and took a deep breath. "I can't find my friend." She said.The girl with the black dress and hair to match, simply said "I will help you." prompting Charlotte to finally take the hand the girl had offered. Soon Charlotte was on her feet.
The girls had walked most of the con floor enjoying each other's company and conversation "So you're a gothic lolita then?" Charlotte twiddles her thumbs together, "yes it's only gothic for me, what about you, what's your style of lolita fashion?".
tucking her black hair behind her ear to listen to the answer "well I'm not sure yet, this is my first time wearing lolita" the blonde sounded unsure of herself.
Placing a gentle hand on her pink sleeve "well I would continue with the sweet style, it looks really good on you" she blushed at her words but before she could say thanks or give a compliment back.They had walked into the food and seating area and Charlotte's very loud friend had spotted her "THERE you are!" a tall girl with fiery red hair stood by the small blonde, "I was looking for you everywhere, WHY didn't you tell me you were going to get food" her pink bow almost falling off her head.
"Aw sorry, I got too ahead of myself" the redhead apologised, the goth girl fixed the blonde's bow and smiled sweetly then went on her way. "Ooo Charlotte, got yourself a girlfriend there" the tall girl teased and a huge blush grew on Charlotte's face "NO! you just have it all wrong Willow, that gothic girl was helping me find you" wagging her finger in willow face to get the point across.
Much more teasing and walking later the con was at its end, Willow was attempting to join in on a dancing routine with other girls in lolita. While Charlotte was looking about frantically, searching for that kind frilly stranger from earlier "Oh I wanted to give this to her" muttering things to herself as she held a small voodoo doll with black button
eyes ��Who's that for, because it can't be for you it isn't pink" Willow gave a toothy smirk.
A little bit of red formed on her cheeks as she answered "It's for that girl in black from earlier, I just wanted to thank her" Willow did give a small laugh "Nah you just liked her" and with that the taxi for them both had HONKED loudly.
Backdrop set up and lights just right "Hello my lovely viewers, it's me Carlottalita" the perky blonde announced "and I'm bringing you the latest in Lolita fashion news." Charlotte continued the day making videos. As night fell she took her huge ponytail hair extensions out and lay down in bed, posting mindlessly to social media.
"WAKE UP! Charlotte, it's me willow" a harsh banging on the door, made her shoot straight up in her frilly bed sheets and night dress. "oh COMING! let me find the keys" she had her hand digging around in a bowl filled with many cute keychains. As soon as it was unlocked the women burst through with bags filled to the brim with petticoats, "look at all this, Daisy got rid of everything" she thrust bags into the sleepy girls arms.
"REALLY daisy doo, she's done with lolita?" Willow nodded at her questions "yup! She announced it with a video early this morning, so obviously I went to console her and maybe get some of her stuff" a very big grin on her lips. Charlotte was still shocked but boiled the kettle to make her and her friend a nice hot cup of tea, so Willow could spill the T.
"That's not even the best part" Willow stood up after an hour of sitting and chatting "she gave me her tickets to that big con in Paris" Charlotte almost dropped her saucer with her tea cup on it. "Are you serious, France? we are going to France!" her voice went up an octave, she then threw herself at her friend who in return gave her a big bear hug "Yes my tiny friend, so plan out your most loveliest lolita dress yet!".
That afternoon she was already online looking at bows and socks to match her very expensive dress "wow Lotte that costs the same as a gaming pc" Willow's eyes were almost popping out of her head looking at this web page "I know, but this con is really important and special" twisting and twirling her blonde hair.
The ginger pinched her cheeks and shook her face from side to side "ohh nah, you're just hoping that you'll find a fellow lolita girl to fall in love with" Charlotte just swatted her hands away "oh stop it Willow" a big huff escaped her. "just because I fell for someone once, doesn't mean it'll happen again" the blonde started to daze off thinking of the gothic beauty she had met at one of her first cons.
"she had the loveliest voice as well" unfortunately she had said her thoughts out loud which resulted in her friends endless teasing all through the night. Willow had already made herself comfortable in the pink frilly bed sheets.
