Chapter 4

Ursula studied the young woman, a bit surprised. She seemed a whole lot bigger and softer then the picture she had sent, but she was also really cute. Pretty-cute-sweet. Like the kind of blonde four years old girls who hold my little pony dolls in their chubby hands. She was also very excited, and Ursula felt the need to smile at her assuring, or put a friendly hand on her shoulder – but Kory had warned all of them to act accordingly to their images, and Ursula image was the dark-Goth ice princess. So she just pulled her head higher, and looked at the girl and the boy who were standing in front of her.

"How do you do?" She said, and without waiting for an answer stepped forwards, letting the other band members to get in. The two roomies seemed like they are about to have a heart attack. The next one who walked in was Alex, who was the vampire-prince sort of image. He walked in with his sun glasses (Ursula did her best not to snore) and gave the two a quick nod.

Ursula moved more into the apartment, pretend to wonder around but actually inspecting Melody. The dress she was wearing was way too tight, that was for sure. She could see how the cruel hard fabric cuts into the soft delicate flesh, raising and causing a fat roll that seemed to reach until the girl's thick neck and double chin and choke her completely. She hoped that during their date, Victor will watch after his tongue in the hotel and won't say anything too offensive.

After Alex, floated Veronica – wild flowers in her long red hair, faint smile on her face and her arms open - "So nice to meet you, brother and sister!"

After her came Victor, who seemed to have a really hard time hiding his mocking expressing. "Dude, awesome place!" he said in his beach-boy voice. Ursula happily noted that none of the two seemed too excited about him. George was the last, as usual, mumbling something about rebellious anarchy, and they went on to see that apartment.

It was a nice place, with a bit too many images of Ursula and Alex. Seeing that two of them, again and again – smiling at each other, hugging each other, looking at each other even in posters of the whole band – suddenly Ursula realized where all of that gossip comes from. It was sick and twisted explanation, of course, but still…

She looked at Melody that kept sneaking glances at her, as if to make sure she was really there. She almost let her face soften – that girl was really in love with her. Ursula decided not to let her down – she will give her a date that Melody will never forget. She knew most of the guys are probably like Victor – being mean to her because of her size. That wasn't fair. She was beautiful, even though she was so big. Maybe even because she was so big.

"Well, I think it is about time," Said Ursula in her imagery arrogant voice. "we don't want to miss the play."

"You girls have fun." Said Victor sarcastically. Kory hurried to give him an angry glare. The average surf-boy shouldn't have the ability of using sarcasm.

"We will be watching you." Said Alex in a low voice. Ursula just noticed how Melody's roomy stare at him longingly, looks like he is about to drool.

"The big brother is always watching." Mumbles George.

"And we all are brothers and sisters! Free the love, Ursula!"

Thank god, thought Ursula as she and Melody were out of there.

These people are all lunatics.
