Evie was in her dressing room, getting ready for the ball that was being held in her honour as she looked at herself in her full-length mirror as her hair was let down and curled and she wore her tiara on her head.
"My Princess, you look even more beautiful in this dress that your Grandmother made for you" said the maid as she smoothed out the creases in the skirt of the ballgown.
"Thank you" said Evie as she smiled, she had to admit that her grandmother was an excellent, excellent, awesome designer, she loved this gown so much, and most of all, it was in her second favourite colour, blue.
Evie was in a baby blue off the shoulder ballgown with long sleeves, and the hem and top of the gown were decorated with wonderful pink flowers which Evie loved, and she also loved how full and flowy the skirt of the gown was, it fluttered when she turned around.
"Oh my princess you are going to be the belle of the ball, which you are" said the maid as she laughed and she brushed Evie's hair and Evie just smiled, she really wished that she would be, but she still felt so nervous.
...
"It was so nice of Grandma Elora to make us these dresses" said Maddie as she looked at herself in the mirror, she loved the dark blue dress that she was wearing right now, it brought out her eyes.
"I have to agree with that, she is so nice, because we don't have ballroom clothes" said Annie as she laughed and she packed her hair up into a bun.
"I agree, you do look good in green if I do say so myself" said Maddie as Annie laughed.
"I agree, even though I do like purple, green is nice as well" said Annie as she laughed.
"Oh we should have switched colours, you wear green while I wear purple, but whatever" said Maddie as Annie laughed.
"Come on Annie, this is going to be so fun, I've never been to an official ball before, and knowing how much effort Aunt Belle and Aunt Luc put into this, the ball is going to be awesome" said Maddie as Annie laughed, she agreed with her.
"Let's go find Matt" said Maddie as she hooked Annie's arm in hers and they walked out of their room.
…
"Hello Noey" said Annie as she smiled and Noey walked to her as she carried him.
"Hello" said Noey as he smiled.
"Do you know where Matt is?" asked Maddie as Noey looked at her and he shook his head.
"Aww, I wonder where he is" said Maddie as suddenly Maddie, Annie and Noey heard an ear piercing scream coming from inside Evie's dressing room.
"What was that??" asked Maddie in concern as she looked at Annie.
"I have no idea" said Annie as she put Noey down and seconds later the door to Evie's dressing room opened as the maid came out.
"Princess Evie asks for your presence in her dressing room" said the maid to Maddie and Annie as they rushed into the dressing room and the maid walked out as she closed the door behind her.
"Evie, what's wrong?" asked Maddie as she rushed to Evie.
"Maddie, Annie, I'm dying, I'm literally dying right now" said Evie in a panicked tone.
"What do you mean Evie?" asked Annie in worry.
"Look my dress is stained in blood, I'm dying, tell my mom I love her, tell my dad that I love him, tell Matt that I was the one who ruined his best pair of shoes" said Evie as she started to cry.
"Wait a minute Evie, stop overreacting" said Maddie as she sighed and she shook her head, Evie was really dramatic.
"But I'm dying, and on my coronation day as well" said Evie as she sniffed.
"You are not dying, you are not bleeding anywhere, it's just your period, geez girl don't kill us" said Maddie as she shook her head and Annie sighed in relief.
"Wait what? My period?" asked Evie as Maddie nodded and she bent down beside the spot on Evie's dress that had blood on it and she waved her hand and it was cleaned in an instant.
"Yes period, didn't your mom teach you about it?" asked Annie.
"Ahh… well you know, I may, or may not have ran away and not listen to her when she tried to talk to me about it" said Evie.
"Evie" called Annie as she shook her head and Evie smiled sheepishly.
"Well I guess that it's your first period, so congratulations, welcome to the club of monthly torture, anyway, now you are a woman, and the first rule is always be ready" said Maddie as she searched in her handbag and she gave Evie's something.
"Here, go in there and put it on, there are in instructions, go on" said Maddie as Evie walked into the bathroom and she closed the door.
"Evie can really give someone a heart attack gosh" said Maddie as Annie laughed.
"What happened?? How is Evie?" asked Matt as he rushed and he was about to open the door but Maddie stopped him.
"Relax Matt, she's fine, she was just overreacting" said Maddie as she stopped him from entering.
"But what happened?" asked Matt.
"Nothing serious, it's just a girl thing, so you can leave now, Evie will be out in a moment" said Maddie as Matt looked at Annie.
"Annie" called Matt as if he was looking for a second opinion.
"Yes Matt, Maddie is right, Evie is fine, just go and wait outside, we will be out soon" said Annie.
"Okay then" said Matt as he walked away and Maddie closed the door.
"Boys am I right?" asked Maddie as she laughed and Annie laughed.
"This feels weird" said Evie.
"You will get used to it, we all do" said Maddie as she laughed.
"*Ugh* this is so annoying, so annoying, why does this have to happen to me right now?" asked Evie.
"Relax Evie, it's not the end of the world, it will be fine, do you feel any pain, or cramps?" asked Annie.
"Nope, I feel just fine, like normal" said Evie as she sighed.
"Then you are lucky: said Maddie as she laughed, not everyone was as lucky as not to feel anything.
"Anyway let's go now, Matt was waiting for you outside" said Maddie.
"Wait, I can't go out, or at least not like this, we will be going to a room full of vampires who can smell blood, that will be embarrassing" said Evie.
"That is true, Annie, cast a sweet smelling spell" said Maddie as she looked at Annie.
"I don't think that's a good idea Maddie, you know what happened last time" said Annie.
"Don't cast it on Evie directly, cast it on this and then I will spray Evie with it" said Maddie as she held Evie's perfume in her hand.
"Oh come on Annie, just do it" said Maddie as Annie sighed.
"Fine" said Annie as she waved her hand and in an instant the room filled with the scent of fresh flowers as Maddie sprayed it on Evie.
"There, now we can go" said Maddie with a smile as Evie smiled.
"Thanks you guys, you are the best, what would I do without you both" said Evie as she hugged Maddie and then Annie as they laughed.
"You are welcome, now, let's get going, you can't be late for your own ball now can you? Oh and did I mention that you look amazing" said Maddie as she smiled and Evie laughed.
"Thank you Maddie" said Evie as she smiled, she loved Maddie and Annie both so much.
…
"Lucinda, we did it, this place looks amazing" said Bella as she looked at Lucinda who was smiling at some guests.
"We really did" said Lucinda as she laughed, the atmosphere was lively and serene as there was delicate music being played and the sound of light chattering of the many guests could be heard.
"Where's Jacob?" asked Lucinda as Bella looked at her.
"Oh he went to check if everything is in order, you know the security and all, and Lucas went with him, they should be back soon" said Bella.
"I see" said Lucinda as Lady Leena waved at her and she waved back.
"My friend, we did a good job" said Bella as Lucinda laughed.
"Mother, do you need anything?" asked Elora as she walked to Bella and Lucinda.
"No my dear, this place looks amazing" said Elora as she smiled.
"Oh why thank you Aunt" said Bella with a smile as Elora smiled.
"Where are the children?" asked Elora as the sounds of trumpets cut them off.
"Oh that should be them right now" said Bella as she laughed and everyone stopped what they were doing to look at the stairs and watch who were suddenly arriving at the ballroom.
