"Let’s take a shower and head to the club"
Jon and Alexis take head into the bathroom and take a shower the sight of themselves still with lipstick smiles and the memory of the dream turns them on so much that they had another love making session in the shower.
Coming out of the shower they start to comb their hair and get ready but looking at themselves they feel something missing that they can't put their finger on. Alexis starts to put on her makeup but keeps messing up and putting on too much and having to take it off, finally she gives up and tells Jon she is running to the gift shop to see if they have different makeup.
Alexis takes the elevator down sharing it with a girl in again a strangely realistic tiger costume, she enters the gift shop and is directed to a long aisle full of different makeups. Not just normal makeup but kits for cats, tigers, witches, superheroes and clowns..... She stands there looking at the makeup kit for clowns with two clown noses included. Feeling something, she starts to giggle and grabs the kit and heads back upstairs a rush of excitement flowing through her. Racing in the room she shows the kit to Jon who laughs and agrees.
“We’ll fit in a the club tonight"
"Yea, we'll look great. Do my face and I will do yours?"
Alexis sat down and Jon took the kit unsure of what to do. Remembering his dream he spreads white over her face, the paints a red smile on her lips, try’s to paint red hearts the cheeks and draws arched eyebrows on her forehead. Honestly it wasn't a great job but he wasn't Picasso. Jon and Alexis swapped and she did his face. After she was done they put on the clown noses and look at themselves in the mirror. They stared at their faces for a long time with a feeling of rightness and they laugh in joy suddenly filled with energy.
"Let's get going" said Jon excitedly and turns and immediately trips over his feet and falls flat on his face, this elicited a fit of giggles from Alexis.
"Maybe my feet got bigger?" laughs Jon
They go back to Clown City and find their way back to the club, the bouncer lets them in no questions. They were greeted with excitement by Maki and Gitsy.
"You guys look great, you'll fit in tonight" exclaimed Gitsy
"Thanks, it felt right" Jon sincerely replied
"Let's Party!"
The night went by in another blur of music, lights, drinks and dancing. Jon and Alexis found themselves laughing and pulling pranks on Gitsy and Maki who in turn played gags on them. Early the next morning the group is at the bar flicking peanuts at the hobo bartender who is just taking it, being at the bottom of the clown pecking order.
Maki slides a can of peanuts to Jon. "Hey more ammunition, Jimbo" Jon who opens it and gets a bunch of confetti and streamers in his face for his trouble. the groups erupts into another fit of laughter.
"You guys going to call it a night, Dotsy?" asks Gigtsy of Alexis
"I guess so, we are so full of energy though, I feel so free and fun" Jon shakes his head agreeing wholeheartedly with Alexis statement
"We'll come back tomorrow night. But we need to get some clown costumes and learn to do our makeup better though" Jon says
Gitsy and Maki smile with a glint in their eyes "Well you can come over to our place and we can help you become clowns, we have a magic touch. Or you can stop by the face painting booth in the main town."
"What do you think?" asks Maki
