Franki had spent the afternoon in Hogsmeade, enjoying her can-can costume as she strolled the booths and shops, doing everything but the Haunted House. No way would she do that unless she had some hunky guy next to her, willing to catch her at any moment when she jumped into his arms out of fright. As Franki did not have any willing takers, she would just have to wait for next year's Halloween bash to get scared.
After spending more money than she should have, she hurried back to the castle to get Gisele ready for the ball, discussing everything of importance while Franki did to Gisele what she had always resented her mother for doing. Franki had always hated Astoria when she came in, doing Franki's hair and makeup for her in preparation of some big social event. But Gisele actually wanted to attend said social event, and the girls had a trust that Franki had never shared with her mother.
She had sent Gisele on her way before she got ready herself, quickly transforming her costume into her dress for the evening. She was impressed with the idea, having overheard that a few girls were using the trick to get through the evening. She quickly curled her hair, fixed her makeup, and went to go check on her 'date'. Rudy wasn't really a date, in the technical sense, since he had no interest in her... or any girl for that matter, it seemed. He did have an interest in not blowing up, however, and Franki had an interest in not looking like a dateless loser. So they were going to help each other survive the night.
She grabbed her mask and tightened the straps on her heels, before hurrying off to the ball. She had appointed a spot for Rudy to meet her just outside the entrance of the event, and she carefully took her place, keeping her mask off so he could find her more easily. She figured she'd spot him right off- she had been his consultant on everything from his clothes, to his socks, to his hairstyle after all. However, her idea of consulting pretty much meant suggestions and pleas such as "But wouldn't it be adorable if your outfit matched mine perfectly?" and "We can grow your hair back after the ball!"
