Callie finished wrapping her birthday present for Dom and then wrapped her chicken-battered bat-shaped wings in plastic.

Looking at the mirror, she double-checked to make sure nothing was wrong with her costume. "Okay, stockings are fine, no runs. Skirt fluffs just right, shoulders are fine, eyepatch is okay, and the hat's perfect. All right, time to get out of here."

She walked out of her apartment and made her way down to the monorail. As the monorail made its way toward the launch bay, she smiled. I can just see the guys' faces...total shock. I'm not gonna hold back anymore.

As soon as the monorail reached its destination, she walked to the elevator and took it up to the Villa. She did another check of the costume. "Good, nothing wrong so far."

After the elevator stopped, she stepped out and walked towards the pool. Okay, this is it. Make this impression count!

The minute she stepped outside into the pool area, she said, "Hi, guys."

Brandon was the first to see Callie in her costume. "Hi, Ca--" His mouth was left hanging. "Oh, my God...Callie, is that you?"

When they heard Brandon's remark, the other gentlemen looked at her. Gordon wolf-whistled and said, "Wow! Callie, you sure caught me by surprise...dressing up as a gorgeous pink pirate."

Dianne smiled. "Your costume is absolutely beautiful. I never would've expected to see you like this. What convinced you to take such a bold step?"

"I needed to let go a little and do this for myself," she answered. "I held myself back because of something which happened to me several years ago. I couldn't quite let go of it...until now."

"Well, you picked the right night to do it," Virgil said. "Even Lady Penelope would be impressed if she were here."

Alex walked up and said, "Have there really been female pirates?"

"Sure," she answered calmly. "There's a history of female pirates but not many that would dress up like this."

Elise was busy with presents when she saw Callie in her pink pirate costume. "You look so stunning!"

"Thanks." Callie placed her bat wings on the table and handed Elise the birthday present for Dom. "Here it is, a remastered collection of jazz legends of the 20th century."

"Oh, Dom will love that!"

"I think he will, too. And it looks like he's the only one left."

"Yes, and he'll be in for a big surprise."

Callie smiled. "I can't wait for his reaction." I also can't wait to see what he thinks of me in this costume...
