But instead of erupting into laughter and complimenting them for their genius idea, Ron took one look at them and his face turned into pure and utter disappointment. In an instant, the blonde’s smile fell from the beaming grin she’d been wearing just seconds before to that of a child who’d just been told Santa Claus does not exist. [color=#609563]"Oh. Hey, guys. Party's down the basement and just make yourself at home."[/color] was Ron’s only reaction, sounding about as bland as boiled potatoes. After stepping inside, Arabella nodded curtly and started to follow Rob downstairs when she felt Ron grab her arm. Taking in a deep breath, she turned to face him, her green eyes hard. Already she could feel that this first interaction was not going to go too well. [color=#609563]"What the hell is this?"[/color] the young man asked her, motioning to her costume. [color=E053B3]“It’s my costume. Duuuuh,”[/color] Ara replied as if speaking to an illiterate five year-old, giving a small twirl to give Ron a look at all angles of her costume. But when the young man’s face hadn’t changed from the bewildered expression he’d been wearing since she walked in, she let out a huff of annoyance. [color=E053B3]“Jesus Christ, Ronald: lighten up! I thought Rob dressing up and me and me dressing up as him would be funny. Excuse me for having a sense of humor…”[/color] she spat defensively, her face quickly going from excitement and happiness to disappointment. Their tense conversation was interrupted momentarily by the arrival of Alice, looking beautiful in the costume of her namesake character. Arabella’s sour expression softened a bit as her eyes scanned the other girl’s costume. [color=E053B3]“Hi Ally! You look absolutely [i]gorgeous[/i]!”[/color] she chirped, wrapping the petite young woman in a quick hug before turning back to the annoying man in front of her. The soft demeanor vanished on the spot, to be replaced by the irritation she’d had moments before. [color=E053B3]“You know, for someone who claims he’s not the jealous type you’re surely acting like a real asshole right now,”[/color] Ara blurted out, venom in her words and very clearly looking for a reaction from Ron that wasn’t his usual ‘i’m too cool to care’ act.[/indent]
