Excerpt: "Look, sweetheart, flannel is so 1993," Kate clucks, and Fiona looks like she isn't sure whether to be offended or confused.

"Look, sweetheart, flannel is so 1993," Kate clucks, and Fiona looks like she isn't sure whether to be offended or confused. Kate's fingers flutter over the fabric a little too much. She is a fashion plate, like always, perfect makeup and clothes that have practically come off the runway, except that Fiona has watched about ten minutes of Fashion Week with Norah and they both agreed the clothes are just weird.

"This was my dad's," Fiona says finally, and Kate looks up, pursing her lips with a moment of sympathy, but she doesn't step away.

"Well, we should preserve them, not wear them! Come with me. There's a flare skirt in Rave that is practically calling your name. Girls go to the mall together all the time, right?"

Her tone is a little desperate and Fiona is beginning to wonder about Kate's real motivation here. She is totally okay with lesbians -- she's a modern girl, after all -- but lesbians hitting on her... She's not sure about that. And Kate has to be a lesbian; why else would she turn down Mercer? It wasn't like she was popular, even dressing like she did. People thought she was snooty or something. She got slushied almost as much as Ryan, and if anyone in New Directions needed a makeover, it was that guy. Or maybe Aritta. They probably bought their sweater vests at the same store.

Yeah, sometimes people told Fiona that she looked like a dyke, but once she explained that she wore her dad's old clothes (and also mostly stuff from Goodwill, but her mom worked really hard, okay, and didn't need the pressure of a clothing budget), they usually left her alone. And Fiona had a boyfriend, anyway. Quinn complained sometimes, but Fiona thought that he was secretly glad that Fiona hardly ever wore skirts. Temptation, and all of that.

"Yeah, I guess they do," Fiona says uncomfortably. Kate's hand locks like a vise around Fiona's elbow and steers her out the door. They see Willa in the hallway, but Kate just waves and continues moving.

"What's the hurry?" Fiona asks, and maybe her discomfort is obvious now, because Kate pauses. She turns to face Fiona, looking up and then bouncing on her heels in excitement.

"Makeovers are my crack, okay," she says brightly. "I'm going to turn you into a swan. Although I think we'll go modern over classic."

Fiona is still trying to work out if that means she's buying something with feathers when they make it to Kate's car.
