The Elevator Fifty-Sixth Floor (Patreon)

Cardonali the magical imp was doing what he always did, he caused    trouble to others for his own amusement. Cardonali had the ability to    put any thought into a person's mind and manipulate them as he wanted    to. He stood unobserved or at least unacknowledged in the back of an    elevator waiting to see who would get in.

By the time Charlotte exited the elevator with her bicycle, all her fashion and makeup knowledge had been transferred into the brother, Javier and Bryan.

"Are you ready for your date yet?" Bryan asked.

Javier who was carrying his skateboard gave Bryan an "Are you kidding me look."

"Yeah, I see what you mean.  We can borrow what want from Mom.  She won't mind."

The boys entered their home and went straight for their mom's bathroom where she kept all her makeup.  They knew how to use every cream, lotion, and powder in her makeup bag.

"You are going to need some concealer."

There wasn't any doubt about that, Javier had several zits that had to be hidden. "Duh".

"Hey bro, just being helpful."

Once that was completed, foundation was the next step.  Javier had very pale skin.  It was brushed on liberally and spread all over his face and down his neck.  

They worked on his face for almost an hour.  Javier wanted to make an impression.

When their mother arrived home, shocked wasn't a strong enough word for how she felt when she saw them.  They were sitting on the couch, Javier's face fully made up watching some TV waiting for both their nail polish to dry.
