“Hold on! Let me get this straight,” JC shouted at Mickey over the phone. “Jadezilla is your new BFF?”

Mickey had called him immediately after school to give a recap of how her fellow FABers had reacted to her makeover.

“Well, she wants to take me shopping Saturday. I’m not sure what I’m going to tell my mom. She was counting on me to come home for the weekend.”

“Just because Jade snaps her fingers doesn’t mean you have to come running,” he replied.

“I can’t turn her down. She’ll hate me all over again,” Mickey reminded him.

JC sighed. “You’re right. The show must go on. Call your mom and tell her you have a group project to work on and you can’t get away. She’ll understand.”

“This is all your fault, you know,” Mickey said. “It was your idea to make me fit in at FAB. Now Jade wants me to take her to Finnish Fashion Week!”

JC chuckled. “What can I say? I’m just too good for my own good.”

Once she convinced her mom that she needed to stay in the city—and swore she’d make it up to her next weekend—Mickey made plans to meet up with Jade and her mother’s personal assistant Saturday morning. She was about to put on a pair of purple Dr. Martens and some paisley leggings with a black mesh sweater when she remembered what JC had told her: “Less is more.” So instead, she chose a simple pair of jeans, a white tank, and a black pleather cropped jacket. She had to hunt in the back of her closet to actually find a pair of sneakers that matched, but finally located two black Converse.

“That’s an interesting jacket,” Jade said, feeling the sleeve as Mickey climbed into her limo. “Is it Prada?”

Mickey thought quickly. “No. It’s a Finnish designer you’ve probably never heard of.”

“Try me,” Jade challenged her. “I know everything about couture. Right, Tinsley?”

The young assistant nodded enthusiastically. “Yes, of course, Miss Lee.”

Mickey felt bad for the young woman. She couldn’t think of a worse job than having to babysit Jade on a weekend.

“So what vintage store are we hitting?” Mickey tried to change the subject. “I’m sure you know all the best ones.”

Jade grinned. “Of course I do. I thought we’d go to Retro Rags.”

They piled out of the car, and Jade handed Tinsley her tote bag to carry.

“You still didn’t tell me who designed your jacket,” Jade reminded Mickey. “Friends shouldn’t have any secrets.”

“Um, his name is…” Mickey looked around the crowded downtown streets, trying to think of something, anything that Jade wouldn’t instantly see through as a lie. Her eyes landed on a coffee and doughnut truck parked on the corner.

“Donutto. His name is Otto Donutto,” she improvised.

“Oh, of course!” Jade fibbed. “I’ve heard of him. He’s mega famous in fashion circles. I think my mom had dinner with him a few months ago.”

Mickey breathed a sigh of relief. “Yeah, he’s big.”

“You think you could get him to send me some of his pieces?” Jade asked, putting an arm around Mickey.
