A ficlet about Purplesky vs. MagentaSky. Enjoy Purps, Sis and Hawser.

She stared into the mirror, a figure smiled back at her, but it wasn't her. Purplesky knew that this wasn't her, dressed in a bright pink singlet, with pigtail hair and knee high white boots, carrying a super girly pink parasol. This was not her at all. No, this was someone else. It was her alter ego, MagentaSky. The figure smiled back ever so brightly, as if mocking the difference between the two with a smile that was way too wide and never ceases.

In fact, despite the cuteness overload from the image, it was insanely creepy staring into the bright blue eyes of MagentaSky. There was an almost nonhuman quality about her, the smile, the attitude, it was all too robotic. As if someone had programmed her to be girly and not naturally girly. Now the reflection had closed her eyes in a smile too, and pointing the parasol at purplesky's heart. It was a message, she was going to take over. This body was hers.

In horror, PurpleSky ran for the door, she knew that the only person she could trust was Hawser who lived next door. She ran outside, into the house next door and up the stairs. From within Hawser's room she could hear video game sounds. She had her other friend, Sisduke over. They were playing Mario Kart on the Wii again. Slamming the door open, Purplesky looked at the stunned two "Hawser I have a problem, I think there's another me trying to take over."
"Whoa whoa whoa calm down." Hawser said "What's going on?"
"There's an alter ego, she wants to take over." Purplesky said, still in panic.
"Show us!" Hawser said, finally pausing the game.

They stepped in front of a full body mirror in Hawser's bedroom and there she was, clear as day in the mirror. A reflection that was not Purplesky's. "Oh wow" Sisduke claimed, "that's totally crazily cool, but I kinda like her better."
"What are you talking about?" Hawser said in horror, "Poor Hawser has been scared to death, and here you are saying this alter ego is cute? What's wrong with you?!"
At that moment, without any of them realizing the reflection slowly moved off the reflection of PurpleSky and into the direction of Sisduke's reflection. Hugging it.
Sisduke suddenly glared at the two and smiled brightly "But I think it's terribly cute. The pink ascents it perfectly as a juxtaposition to Purplesky's personality. Plus, I think Purplesky would look cute in Pink too, don't you think?"
As she said that, her smile grew wider and her eyes closed in a smile too. It was the exact expression MagentaSky always had.
As she smiled, she looked at Hawser, "I have to go to the bathroom, I will be right back."
Hawser and Purplesky looked at one another and Hawser said "I will go with you."

As they walked out the room, Purplesky suddenly realized that she was stuck in the same room as Magentasky now. She suddenly wanted to leave with the two. But as she reached for the door, she pulled on it only to realize that it had been bolted shut from the outside for some reason and she could no longer hear the footsteps. She banged on the door in fear, but there was no response. In the mirror, without her even needing to stand in front of it, Magentasky stuck out her tongue in a silly expression. She was scared, frozen in fear.

As time passed, she got more and more nervous. Outside, Hawser was now waiting for Sisduke to come out from the bathroom, but Sisduke had climbed out the window and into the kitchen. Picking out a knife, she climbed back up and finally came out the bathroom.
"That took you long enough" Hawser said, "wash your hands please."
"Of course" Sisduke said, washing her hands after flushing. "Let's go back to Purplesky"

When the door finally reopened, Purplesky was hugging Hawser's pillows and hiding under the blankets in fear. "There's nothing to be afraid of" Sisduke said.
Purplesky poked her head out from under the blankets, shook it and pointed to the mirror "That.. that thing, it locked the doors from the inside!"
"What are you talking about?" Hawser asked quizzically "This door doesn't even have a lock."
Then out of nowhere, Sisduke got the knife out and stabbed towards Hawser. Purplesky watched in horror. The knife seemed to have cut right into Hawser as she fell onto the floors. "Now, you no longer have allies. Let's play." Sisduke said with a smile "And today, we're playing makeover."
PurpleSky found herself backed into a corner "No, please, go away. Please!"
Sisduke closed in the distance between the two and as she reached for PurpleSky, she saw that Hawser rise up from the ground and stabbed Sisduke in the back. Shocked, Sisduke looked back, "How did you?"
"I faked me being stabbed." Hawser proudly announced. "I ain't letting no evil touch my Purplesky!"
Sisduke fell to the floor in a thud as Hawser was able to get a stab in. Kicking the body a little, Hawser made sure Sisduke had fainted before reaching her hand out to PurpleSky "come on, let's go, it's all good now."
Purplesky, about to break into tears, took Hawser's hands and came out of her hiding.

As they walked towards the door, in the mirrors' reflection, Magentasky was now piggybacking Hawser's reflection and in Hawser's hands behind Purplesky's back was a pink bow and a pair of tiny sharp scissors. There was a smirk on MagentaSky's face before the door closed behind the two as they walked out.
