Kryptonite and Zea stood patiently in the arena as they waited for the beauty pageant to start. Normally they would enter the ring already dressed up and looking fabulous, but this one was a little bit different. Instead of judging their costumes right out, the judges would be watching as they were applied. They wanted to see who was the most patient. That was part of it. Then, after that the fawnlings would show off and the winners chosen. Slade was hateful, as usual, and just glared forward at the handlers. He hoped they didn't put something ridiculous on them.
Rayma’s eyes went to Darwin and Tormento. The two stags really were quite sweet, so she expected them to score well on the first half of the beauty pageant judging. How well they did afterwards depended on how awesome their costumes or make-up was! She didn't think that Slade was going to do so well. She pitied the blue roan’s handler. That poor person was probably going to be bitten quite a lot, unless they miraculously managed to find some sort of costume that Slade actually liked. Well, at least Kryptonite and Zea would definitely behave.
Halloweendonkey:
Pistache was happy to being able to handle the two fawnlings for the beauty pageant show. It wasn’t so often her sister allowed her to do it ! She was old enough, but Lumpkin had the habit to lead all. Her sister choose her two stag really quiet thought. Even if Pistache was totally able to handle the more wild fawnlings of the stable, today she dealt with Tormento and Darwin. Both were really cute and adorable, and she wouldn’t have any trouble to find them costumes they would enjoy.
The two males eyed the does a little further, Zea. She were both nice and pretty, and as nice as they were they couldn’t help but prance a little at their side. Pistache laughed as Tormento sighed. “Don’t even try with Slade around poor boy ! He would cut you in two!” Sadly the sweet stag already knew it… Slade wasn’t the more patient of all! But already the lights focused on them and it was time to prepare the fawnlings. Pistache was a little anxious, it was the first time she did it in public and was afraid to make a mistake… Fortunately both of them stood calm as she groomed them before start the make up.

Zea noticed that Darwin and Tormento were watching her. Kryptonite rolled his eyes as she fluttered her eyelashes in a flirtatious manner. However, there wasn't too much more time for the suave girl to tease the boys. The announcer's voice rang out over the intercom that it was time for the beauty pageant to begin. The handlers brought their fawnlings to five posts set up in the ring, tying their fawnlings to it in a slip-knot. “Any ideas?” Rayna called out to the others as she wandered over to one of the big treasure chests full of goodies, trying to make small talk. Slade's handler seemed very nervous. “My only idea is not losing a hand.” He stated as he rummaged around, eventually pulling out a black cape. “This looks cool. Maybe it'll work..” Rayma crossed her fingers from him as he returned to Slade.
Rayma pulled out a too-too and nearly came unglued, laughing. “Oh my gosh! Kryptonite, my love, you gotta have this!” She giggled as she returned to the fawnling. Kryptonite looked slightly unamused as Rayna un-velcroed the too-too and then velcroed it back around his waist. “It's adorable!” She giggled. Kryptonite wasn't convinced. Didn't she know that he was a stag? Zea was being an angel, as usual. Actually she was far more distracted by watching Darwin and Tormento. Those boys were cute! The doe bleated at them playfully. “Shhhh, that might get us in trouble!” Her handler booped her on the nose to get her to be quiet. Zea snorted in response, sulking a bit…. She'd just wanted to flirt with the cuties is all!
Halloweendonkey:
Pistache decided to focus on the show. She couldn’t both dress the stags and deal with Slade, so she decided to trust his handler. After all Rayma wouldn’t have let that person deal with him if they wasn’t good! Plunging in the chests she searched something that could fit her boys. And what about that mustache? She giggled, imagining it on Darwin, and pushed it away. She finally found some fur pads she could tie around the legs of Tormento. They were so close of his natural color, the result was really pretty ! In few minutes the young stag looked far more wild, with long fur here and there. She even found a false mane she put over his short one, changing totally his style the time of the show.
For Darwin she hesitated a moment, and finally found a mermaid tail. With his dark purple coat it would be so pretty ! darwin couldn’t help but snort, amused, while Darwin started to pout. He wasn’t a fish ! But he couldn’t complain, Pistache was far too cute… And few minutes later he was ready, a gleaming blue and purple tail tied to the waist and ribbons tied in his thick lion mane to create a shiny mane. What a shame… he glanced on the side, trying to see Kryptonite and Zea’s reactions.
Hayleyfawns:
Rayma glanced over at the competition, feeling a bit nervous now. They were impressive! Tormento looked so handsome and intriguing with his hair extensions and Darwin...oh gosh, it didn't get any cuter! The buck had finished with a mermaid tail, plenty of ribbons, and a lion’s mane. Rayma laughed good naturedly, enjoying this show. Kryptonite still didn't seem very happy about his too-too and the fact that Rayma began to pile a bunch of girly ribbons into his mane didn't exactly help. The pale doe stayed still though, eyes half-lidded with irritation. Why was this necessary?
On the other hand, Slade actually seemed to be enjoying this. His handler had wrapped the cape around his proud chest and.. it was quite impressive! Next, he rummaged around until he found some bat ears. Nervously, afraid the blue stag might bite, he slipped them on. Slade looked proud and pleased. His handler went on to apply a mask over the stag’s face. “Hey, Batman!” Rayma giggled, recognizing what was trying to be mimicked. Zea had been dressed up nicely as well, taking on a Little Red Riding Hood Outfit, complete with braids. In the end Slade was Batman, Zea was Little Red Riding Hood, Kryptonite was a ballerina, Darwin was a mermaid, and Tormento was a wild stag. What a mixture! The makeup part of the show was done and now it was time to show off.
Halloweendonkey:
Darwin let go a deep sigh. At least the does didn’t seemed laugh at him, it was a first good point. Walking slowly, as if he tried to make the moment he would show himself to the judge as late as possible, he let Zea, Kryptonite, Slade and Tormento enter the round first. Of course lights were all focused on them, and he was shinning like a precious gem stone with his fish tail. What a shame! But people looked appreciate. Instead of laugh they liked the mix between his purple-ish coat and the accessories, and he started to relax. Waving the tail to move the mermaid appendice, he started to even enjoy the show.
Tormento, on his side, had some difficulties to enter in his character. He was rather happy of the result, it wasn’t so often he could look… Manly ? But he was a little afraid about what could think Slade of it. Last time they had tied to play proud with him, he had follow them and bite until they managed to calm him down. And for the moment, he was right by his side. He glanced at the stag, and had to admit he was rather… terrifying. The costume looked accentuate his dangerous side for some reasons, and he couldn’t help but ruffle his mane, worried. Fortunately Slade was more focused on his own show and didn’t cared much of the other around.
Pistache wasn’t so much aware of tormento dilemma and was worried to see him so shy. Usually he was more funny, liking to impress with his tricks even if he was a nice boy. Maybe he was too close to Slade? To verify she moved him, putting the two does between him and Slade. Immediately his behavior changed and he started to roll the neck and show off himself. Pistache laughed, now away from Darwin but she didn’t minded so much, she knew he would behave. Petting the velvet nose, she whispered:: “you little coward!”
Hayleyfawns:
Slade was oblivious to the behavior of Darwin. He wasn't paying the other stag any mind. He was all about showing off at this point, arching his neck and puffing out his broad chest. He carried himself with pride and a sense of mystery, black cape flowing along behind him. Zea was watching a little bit nervously, wondering if he would act up. So far everything was going good. As long as he got appreciative gasps from the crowd everything might be okay. Zea got several claps and appreciative laughs at her little outfit. Everyone liked Red Riding Hood!
There was a lot of laughter when Kryptonite entered her show. A ballerina! Kryptonite looked very unamused as she he led around. He liked the attention, but he didn't really like being laughed at! There were a few appreciative gasps and a few giggles at Darwin’s set-up. It was very pretty, but very different! Tormento got some applause as well; his costume was probably the most creative. He looked wild and magnificent! Slade tried his best to outdo the other stag, shaking his head dramatically in an attempt to recapture the attention of the crowd. It didn't really work and soon the blue stag began to sulk again, pouting quite heavily.
Halloweendonkey:
Tormento was very proud of himself as he heard people claim him in the crowd. He wasn’t so used to attract attention ! At this point Slade was sulking but he didn’t cared anymore. Puffing the chest he looked at the does with his new self confidence, making laugh Pistache and Darwin roll the eyes. The purple stag kept snorting, mixed between the shame of his costume and the fact he finally enjoyed the show. Oddly he liked the ballerina. He smiled, watching the stag despite his total lack of attention, and everyone kinda forgot Slade mood. After all he was almost always pissed, it didn’t changed so much!
Judges asked each fawnling to come closer with their respective handlers. One by one the lights focused on them and they could see the details of costumes, the quality of grooming and the imagination of handlers. Pistache was nervous, but she knew her two boys would do their best. She looked at Rayma, trying to take exemple on her. The girl was older than her, and probably did more shows than her! Finally her turn was done, and Rayma could show her fawnlings too. Pistache could breath a little, but the show wasn’t totally done yet.
Hayleyfawns:
Their show was done. Now Tormento, Darwin, Zea, Slade, and Kryptonite came to a halt before the judges. It was time for the judges to come closer and check out the costumes! They got up from their chairs, coming over to investigate. Pretty much all of them had laughed had poor Kryptonite's costume. Rayma wasn't sure if that was good or bad. Zea had several “awws” and “that's cute”s. Slade was appreciated for his intimidating Batman imitation. Tormento’s wild appearance got many gasps of appreciation. Rayma had a feeling he would win. Darwin's costume got some chuckles, but still seemed appreciated.
Now they just waited… Who would be the most beautiful of all?
