Chương 51: Thoughts of you

TV station

Alice entered the TV station with Amy. They were greeted by a fairy in black. The fairy's long hair was tied into plaits. Her long black hem was flowing, brushing against the floor.

"Finally, our Lady Don showed her grace by showing up!", Cath, the black fairy, snorted around her.

"Yes, milady!", Alice rolled her eyes. She knew could be mean at times, but she was a good person at heart.

"Huh!", Cath sneered.

"Stop arguing, will you?" Aunty Shoo narrowed her eyes at Cath. Cath shrugged & hooked her arm with Alice. Then, she pulled her in through the busy corridor.

"Where are we going?" Alice asked.

"Where can someone like you go after entering the TV station?"

To that, Alice smiled & didn't reply.

"Well, Aunty Shoo brought your clothes along with mine" Cath spoke, "See? Your Amy didn't do that."

"That's because Aunty Shoo brought before Amy could do."

"So what?"

Alice stuck her tongue out & followed the makeup artist.

30 minutes later

Alice came out of the dressing room in a black crepe top & white mini skirt. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail. She looked playful & younger than her age. Her bangs added a mysterious look to her face. Cath nodded in amusement. Once again, she hooked her arms around hers & pulled her to the backstage. They were waiting for the director's instructions.

Very soon, the director signaled for them to walk in. They both walked in & the audience below screamed with excitement. Very soon, they took their seats in the designated sofa. The host sat opposite them.

Very soon, the talk show began & between the questions, were played some random games. The most favorite for the audience was "Thoughts of you". In this, the contestants would be asked to tell how much they knew each other. Both of them would write the answers on a whiteboard, without looking at each other. If the answers are the same, the one asked would get a point. Even the other one would get a bonus. If wrong, then no points.

The first question was thrown to Cath, "What is the way through Alice's heart?"

Alice & Cath quickly jotted down on their respective boards.

Alice wrote, "Through my chest."

Cath wrote, "Hugs & kisses."

The meter showed a smiling 0.

Next was directed to Alice, " What's Cath's secret talent?"

Alice wrote, "Playing online games."

Cath wrote, "Milking a cow in under 10 seconds."

This time, too, the meter showed 0.

The audience burst into laughter. Most of them were clutching at their stomachs. Even Alice & Cath were laughing, facepalmed.

Next was a random question.

"Who takes a better selfie?"

Alice wrote, "Me!"

Cath wrote, "She!"

This time was a perfect match, a perfect 100! The audience screamed with happiness while the screen behind them showed numerous selfies of Alice.

The next question was promptly directed at Cath.

"What is Alice's most used emoji?"

Alice made a laughing cat emoji & Cath made the same. Another perfect 100! The audience once again screamed with excitement.

"That's true friendship", the host complimented.

"Indeed", Alice nodded while Cath smiled at her.

Another question was directed at Alice.

"What is Alice binge-watching on Netflix?"

Alice & Cath both wrote '13 reasons why'.

"Yeah", the host spoke, "That's another perfect score?"

Next question: "Who is Cath's celebrity crush?"

Here's what both of them wrote. Yeah, both of them again!

"Doraemon."

The main inspiration for Cath to join the acting industry. With that, ended the game. The audience was applauding. Some held neon boards showing "CALICE FOREVER".

Between the show, the two of them were also spotted pulling each other's leg. The director decided to put this as the preview for the show that would air on TV this weekend.
