Nikki or 'Emily' as she now wanted to be called wasn't gone for long. She returned with a Prada handbag and a pair of glittery blue heels similar to what she was wearing. "These are Maureen's" as she handed Eric the heels "She's putting her own clothes back on. She doesn't want to be identical to me"
"Well don't just stand there looking gobsmacked Nikki! Put them on!" said Amy to Eric. "I bet you will be able to walk perfectly in them"
"I suppose" was all Eric could say. She didn't want to be a party-pooper. Amy had suggested she 'Should let her hair down and have fun'. What was the harm? It was only for one more night. Last night had been fun on reflection. At least Eric knew she would be back to himself in the morning "Okay why not?"
"That's the attitude!" said a pleased Amy
So Eric put the heels on and as Amy had suggested she had no trouble walking in the shoes. It just felt natural. When 'Emily' produced some jewellery from the handbag and said. "Let me put these on you. They are my own" Eric allowed the former Nikki to put a ladies watch on her left arm, a bracelet on her right arm, a pendant around her neck and dangly earrings in each of her ears. "That's better! But for your eyes and the fact that you are a bit taller, anyone would think you're me. As a matter of fact I'd bet even Angus wouldn't pick you're an imposter. Sometimes I don't think he can see past my breasts and clearly you don't lack in that department, though I do see you lack a bra"
"I don't have your voice either and I'm pretty sure these are Mum's arms rather than yours"
"Minor details! For the rest of the day you are Nikki and I'm Emily. But that's a good point about your arms. I should put my nail colour on you. That reminds me Belinda wanted nail polish as well"
So Eric or "Nikki" as everyone was calling her found herself sitting still while 'Emily' coloured her nails, both on her fingers and toes, a deep red colour. 'Emily' also took the opportunity to make up Eric's face and even sprayed her with her favourite perfume. Likewise Belinda got a make-up job and her nails done by Amy. Eric was past the point of caring and decided she may as well just 'go with the flow'.
It was only once she was declared 'Ready' that all the girls got together and started debating about what they would do for the rest of the day. Eric found herself outvoted 5 to 1 about plans to head out for a 'Girls night out'
