Her sentences run-ons.
She was beyond striking. Possessing a divine, otherworldly type of beauty.
Shiraz dropped to her knees, and the rest of the girls followed.
Why would they bow? The BellaDonna has shown nothing but disdain towards them, tortured Ci~L for daring to do anything she didn't approve of, and physically assaulted Shiraz for seeing what she looked like. I can understand them bowing if they were threatened into it, but doing it of their own free will seems odd.
The BellaDonna's dress shapeshifts into a gown with sharp spikes around the collar. Ci~L calls her a fashion dictator, and says that whatever she shifts her clothes into becomes the newest fashion trend. So Evil Empress gear is going to become all the rage soon.
The BellaDonna squints at Creamy and then scowls at her.
Creamy bristled. "I'm not afraid of you, Rock-Wench."
"You know," Ci~L murmured to Tookie, "I kinda like that mother of yours. She speaks my language."
Tookie tells Creamy that it would probably be better to go, and the BellaDonna is amused by the fact that she makes her children call her "Creamy," suggesting that she should have gone with Clumpy or Craggy instead.
Creamy tells the group that the BellaDonna traded away her soul. The BellaDonna tells her to be quiet, saying she has more important things to do.
Fashion decisions make the world run smoothly? Excuse me while I laugh.
The BellaDonna summons a picture of the 7Seven Stadium. The Bored are alarmed by the BellaDonna not being there yet. We get some description of the various spectators, including the drug-dealing Intoxibella Fiona, and the Bellas, including Zarpessa, Chaste and Kamalini.
They realize that the stadium is just a hologram, and that no one can see them. The Unicas use this as an opportunity to show what wonderful people they are.
Dylan sidled up next to Piper, lifted her train, and pulled aside her leotard, baring her butt. She wiggled it at the girls. "This is for you, ladies! Some Bou-Big-Tique booty!"
Charming.
Persimmon tells them to knock it off.
Creamy says that the BellaDonna knows that Myrracle belongs there and not Tookie. She says she knows why the BellaDonna chose Tookie: because she's still bitter and holding a grudge.
So Tookie was chosen because the BellaDonna was hoping that Creamy would die crossing the Diabolical Divide on behalf of an unknown grudge. Given that she mentions her "heart never healing", I'm betting the grudge involves a guy (possibly Mr. De La Crème). But how did the BellaDonna know that Tookie was the Unfavorite? Was she spying on them?
Myrracle is tapping her toes and bobbing her head to the beat of the stadium's music. Creamy slaps her across the face for this and yells at her. Myrracle says it looks funner in the stadium than with Creamy.
Myrracle stared, slack-jawed, at her mother. "Of course I know what it was like, Creamy," she said in a voice that sounded lucid—almost intelligent. "I was there." And then, before anyone could stop her, she ran out of the room.
Go Myrracle!
Creamy gets annoyed, but tells the BellaDonna that Myrracle will be with Bellas like she should be. She then demands that it be made official or she'll tell the group what the BellaDonna is hiding.
We get some more arguing, with the BellaDonna and Creamy playing tug-of-war with Tookie's arms.
Tookie starts moving as the two tug on her, directing their little tug-of-war towards the OoAh. They comically manage to go halfway down the hallway before Tookie breaks free and runs towards the room with the Flashback Females. Everyone follows her, and Tookie asks the Females to show her what happened. They point out that only someone who was part of a flashback can choose to show it to others.
Creamy tells them to show her memory. The BellaDonna tries to stop it, even ordering the girls to follow her out. The girls instantly obey ("they knew they couldn't disobey the BellaDonna"). Shiraz, Piper, and Dylan make it out, but Tookie trips before reaching the door.
Creamy enters the circle in the room, which causes the door to slam shut. This traps Ci~L, Tookie, Creamy and the BellaDonna inside.
Remember earlier how everyone had to view flashbacks before they were allowed to leave? This is now a plot point, since they are now forced to watch a flashback explaining Creamy and the BellaDonna's pasts.
They see Modelland in the past. They know it's the past because the uniforms are slightly different (skirts instead of pants), and a few of the buildings are different (the War of Words building is on stilts instead of hovering).
They see two Bellas exit the War of Words class. One of the girls is hoping that she got her point across without hurting anyone's feelings.
Do people routinely quit being friends just because they are assigned opposing arguments in a debate class?
Ladonna is the BellaDonna. The blonde is said to be a future Triple7 since she has all the seven magical abilities. Ladonna gushes about how the Go-See-Go is coming up, and the blonde girl teases her about it.
The three girls in the flashback pass a statue of the previous BellaDonna, who is the current BellaDonna's mother.
A third girl joins Ladonna and the blonde girl. This girl is brunette with tan skin and "tiger-striped eyes." She's wearing a dress that she just got fitted for. Her name is revealed to be Latta, and the blonde's name is revealed to be Percy.
In case you haven't figured it out, Percy is Persimmon.
Then Tookie recognizes the dress that Latta is wearing as the same one that Creamy chose for Myrracle to wear on T-DOD. We end the chapter with Tookie realizing that Latta is Creamy.
So Creamy's real name is a pun on latte?
We now know that Creamy, the BellaDonna and Percy were all at Modelland together and used to be friends. I guess we'll find out the rest of the backstory next chapter.
