"Run!" Sarah yelled
"Rawrrr! I'm a mean dragon!" Said a young girl wearing purple and green dragon costume
"What's going on in here?"
The girls looked up, leaning on the door frame stood their mother, she was tall, slender and graceful, she had brown hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a long blue dress with gold lace work.
"We're playing dragon!" Said the dragon
"Hey mom! I was all done with my homework and Lily asked me to play dragons with her." explained Sarah
"Ok, well, have fun, mommy is going to the store now. Lily, Sarah is 15, you have to listen to her, she is in charge. Got it?"
"Yes mother..." Said lily with a pout on her face
"See ya Sarah" Said their mother as she grabbed her leather purse and walked out the door
"BYE!" Sarah yelled back. Turning to Lily, Sarah said "Now, where were we?"
"You were being chased by me, the big scary dragon!" Lily reminded her
"oh right..." Lily remembered "Run!" Sarah screamed as she ran around the house with Lily on her tail.
After a few laps around the house Sarah was breathing heavily. "Ok... princess... the princess needs a break..." She said as she collapsed onto the couch.
"It's hard running in this ginormous pink, fluffy ball gown, even without these heels."
"Dragon needs a break too..." Said Lily as she sat down next to her older sister
"I think a dragon needs a glass of lemon aid!" Said Lily slyly
"Oh yea? What if the princess drinks it all first?" Sarah challenged
"No!!" Screamed Lily
Both girls jumped off the couch to the refrigerator, pushing one another to get there first. Naturally, Sarah was there first, Lily was only 7 after all.
Grabbing the pitcher, Sarah poured some into a glass and took a sip, smacking her lips and holding the pitcher high above her sister's head. "Yumm, so refreshing" Sarah teased.
"Hey! Give it here! Sarah!" Lily whined as she jumped up and down trying to reach the bottle.
Sarah just laughed and poured her sister a glass
DING_DONG
the doorbell had rung
"I'll go see who it is, stay here and drink your lemonade little dragon." commanded Sarah
Sarah walked over to the door, with ought looking to see who it was she swung it open.
"Max?" Sarah said in surprise
Max looked her up and down. Suddenly he busted out laughing, holding his stomach and kneeling over.
Confused, Sarah looked down to see what he was laughing at.
She clamped her hands over her mouth, her face turning as red as her hair.
She was still wearing the bright pink princess dress.
The dress was bright pink, went down to her ankles and poofed out at the waste, it went out so wide that she took up the entire door frame. It had a light pink satin trim that went up and down in curves, a sash and beautiful embroidered flowers went up her side, starting with one on the bottom and spreading out at a diagonal, covering her turtleneck and one arm of the dress. The dress had only one sleeve, the other had a sheer piece of satin that was meant for nothing other than looks.
The dress was actually quite beautiful but when compared to Sarah's normal t-shirt and jeans, it was very embarrassing to be caught in such a dress. To top it all off she was wearing an extravagant silver crown with matching pink jewels.
Composing himself, Max said "That's a very nice a very pretty dress you have there Sarah"
"Yea whatever" Sarah said as she rolled her eyes
Putting her hands on her hips she asked "Well, what do you want? Or did you only come over her to mock me?"
"Although me seeing you like this would be a very good reason for me being here, this is only an added bonus, I actually need to ask you a favor." He said
"Yea well, come inside, I don't like how the woman across the street is looking at me right now." She said pointing
When the women saw her point at her she quickly turned her head and scurried into her bakery.
"umm... ok" he said nervously
Max walked in and Sarah closed the door behind him and locked it.
Walking back to the kitchen she said "Lily! My friend Max is here! Come say hi!"
"Max is here? why?"
"I don't know, just say hi"
"oh ok"
turning to Max lily said "Hi Max! Look at me, I am a big scary dragon!"
"very scary!" Max replied
"Look at my sister! Isn't the dress that she is wearing beautiful?"
"It is a very pretty dress indeed" he answered
"yea, yea. Well, what do you want? If your here to get the math homework, don't get your hopes up because i'm not gonna give them to you"
Max cleared his throat and said "that's not actually why i'm here to see you"
"oh, ok? so then why are you here? Miss me?" she questioned
For some reason Max looked even more nervous
"well, no, I umm, can you go to a party with me later? I need a date and I trust you not to tell anybody about it" He finally said
"party? sure when is it?" Sarah casually replied
"tomorrow"
"Tomorrow? Hmmm, I'll have to ask my mom but because it's you i'm sure she will say it's ok. Is it a costume party or something? why do you need a date?"
"Well, it's not exactly a costume party but.."
Max hesitated
"You might need to bring that dress..."
