Cade followed after Quinn and Harper, still wiping water from his face.

“Does anyone want my hot cocoa? I’m going to get more.”

"I would." Cade responded, still following Harper and Quinn to get ready for the ball.

They stopped in a room lined with different closets of all shapes and sizes. Some were intricately carved with elaborate designs and others were simple pastel colors, like pink and yellow. Shoes were strewn across the floor and trunks were full of hats and masks.

“Here.” Chelsea said, dumping the hot chocolate on Cade. She disappeared.
(@Puffpoff sorry for the stains!)

"Oh god. . ." Quinn murmured, looking around the room.

"Ouch! What the heck Chelsea?!" Cade exclaimed as she left. Ow ow ow ow ow ow… "Okay can we hurry up and get new clothes, I'm burning here!" He shouted as he walked into the room.

"Sure," Quinn turned towards Cade and began to study him. "Grey blue eyes, blond hair. . ." She trailed off. Her father had also been somewhat of a tailor, so Quinn picked up on a few things. "What color do you usually look best in?"

He shrugged, flinching slightly as the cocoa soaked through his shirt. "I dunno..black…brown…green…I wear natural colors usually."

Harper looked thoughtfully at a blue dress. Well I think that maybe I'll dye my hair blue. And maybe have silver streaks running though it.

"No, not really." Willow pushed some curls away from her face, "Is Scarlet out of the forest yet?"

Chelsea reappeared, “Well technically yes.”

She appeared again, holding to cups of hot cocoa.

Each closet in the room lit up, names carving into the wood in a golden font. Quinn approached one of them. It spoke up in a soft voice. "Harper Smith."

"Huh," Quinn walked towards another. It was elaborately carved and the wood seemed to have a crimson tint. In the middle, in golden lettering, was the name Scarlet. "They all seem to have our names on them."

"Woah…that's freaky." Cade whispered, his arms stiff by his sides as the cocoa burned his skin.

A closet with a soft, sky blue color lit up with Cade's name. "That must be yours, sweetheart." Quinn said, motioning towards the closet.

“That’s creepy.” Chelsea said, drinking from one of her cups.

"Yeah. . . " Quinn trailed off as she approached one of the closets. It was intricately carved with swirls of gold on a white background. Right in the middle was her name. Quinn White. She opened it hesitantly, hoping nothing would jump out.

Cade shrugged, walking up to the closet quickly. He opened the surprisingly heavy door and found an outfit inside. Well I guess this is what I'm wearing…. Inside was a red, white, and black suit and jacket, black dress pants and shoes, and a black bird mask.

Harper walked into her closet and sat down on the floor for a few minutes to calm herself down.

Instead a peppy voice spoke up . "Bonjour, Quinn Lilian White! Daughter of the White Rabbit!" It said in an excited voice. "I can not wait to find you a perfect outfit! What are we looking for today?"
"Um. . . a masquerade ball dress?" She replied, slowly backing away from the closet.
"Perfect!" It chirped. The voice paused as if it was studying Quinn. "Deep blue eyes, blond hair. . . . I know just the dress!"
