Excuse me, have you seen my friend? Small guy, blond mop, looks perpetually like a deer caught in headlights?", the young teen inquired the unwitting crossdresser.

"I think I saw him slip away out back earlier, he looked like he was in a rush", Alex responded in his most convincing feminine voice.

"That flake!", Sarah exclaimed, "When I see him next he's gonna be in a rush to A&E!", proclaiming her frustrations to the heavens, before swiftly turning back to inspect the hapless boy"

"Have we met before? You seem familiar."

"Not to my knowledge", Alex quickly protested.

Sarah's face lit up like a Christmas tree and Alex braced himself for the oncoming tirade of humiliation.

"Alice! You came!"

"Huh- I mean yeah, I wanted to surprise you", Alex said masking his already feminine voice with a slight, upper-class British accent in tribute to Sarah's pen-pal.

"Well, Alex may have tapped out but now you're here, so it's a win-loss. Come on, the limo I ordered should be arriving any minute. I can't wait for you to meet my other friend Jack, you're gonna love him ."

"Great", Alex internally groaned, whilst his face paraded a happy veneer

It was going to be a long night...
