Hello all! This is a slight rewrite of the introduction chapters, just to make a little more sense of some things! Please enjoy!

"Cosette! Look at this!" The young woman shouted as she studied the fine craftsmanship of the delicate crown in her hands. It was silver, loosely weaved around itself to mimic the look of climbing vines. It had small diamonds around the front of it and several chains that plummeted off the back then returned to the other side, forming an almost symmetrical design. "Look at how gorgeous this is, you have to try it on!"
"I'm coming!" Her friend cried from across the dirt road as she dashed over to see what had made Elizabeth so ecstatic. "Wow, that is really pretty," she said as she stared at it over the girl's shoulder.
"Here!" Elizabeth smiled as she plopped the adornment on Cosette's brown, wavy hair, "It looks so beautiful on you! And it match-eth your dress too! " Elizabeth giggled at her own attempt at Medieval speech. Cosette looked into the mirror and discovered that she was right. The silver looked beautiful with her gentle blue dress, and the diamonds sparkled alongside the embroidery design along the scoop of it. "You must buy it!" She exclaimed out of excitement, "It's perfect!"
Cosette stared into the mirror for a few more moments before turning around and smiling, "Alright, but only if you get one too! We'll match that way!" Elizabeth let a smile move across her face and nodded, "Deal! But you have to pick it out for me," she said cheekily, "after all, I did pick that one out for you!" With the help of the salesman, Cosette finally chose a crown very similar to hers, but with little emeralds and small designs carved into the silver to resemble flowers and vines. They each paid for their accessories, adjusted them in the mirror one last time, and set out to explore the rest of the Renaissance faire.
Only a few hours later, the sun disappeared. Grey, threatening clouds had crept in and completely covered the sky which had been bright blue only minutes before. The air became heavier with humidity. The scent of rain was prominent even over the smell of dust from the dirt roads that traced through the fair. "Well that's just great," Cosette complained right as small drops of rain came drizzling down from the clouds.
"We better take cover, I'm certain this dress will be unbearable if I get wet!" She grabbed the skirt of her dress and lifted it a bit higher so that she could walk easily without stumbling. Elizabeth did the same, "There's a shop right over there!" The two of them hurried to get under the roof right as the rain started to fall harder. It made a song as it hit the roofs of the surrounding buildings.
Drip Drop Drip Drip Dop.
The rain persisted for over an hour before there was a small break from the shower. "We better leave while it has let up a little," Elizabeth mourned.
"You're probably right,"Cosette nodded her head and took a deep breath. "We can always come back another day," she gave a slight grin. They once again scurried along the road, but this time to the exit.
Cosette hiked up her skirt as she slipped into the driver's seat of her car. She scraped the mud off of her shoes and flung her feet inside as well. "I wish I wasn't so bloody short. Otherwise I wouldn't have had to wear these shoes!" She exclaimed, irritated, "My feet hurt so badly."
Elizabeth looked at her and rolled her eyes, "You didn't HAVE to wear them. No one made you; I told you that those shoes would kill you!"
"I know you did," She replied, "Didn't stop me though." She stuck her tongue out and smiled as she eased her foot off of the brake and onto the gas pedal. They drove off quickly as the rain again came falling down.
The rain became heavier and heavier. It pounded on the roof of the car like drums. Both of the girls had to increase the volume of their voices just so that they could hear one another. "This is insane!"
"It is," Elizabeth replied, "I can't even remember it being this bad at least within the last several years!"
"I can't remember it being half this bad!" Cosette nearly shouted as she slammed her foot on the brakes and swerved from the road.
Drip Drop Drip Drip Drop.
