Something New

"Amethyst, hurry up," Sarah called from downstairs. Of all of the days to be late… she thought as Amethyst came down stairs. Sarah sighed. "We're going to a ball, dearest sister, not just a regular party."

"What's wrong with what I have on?" Amethyst said with a frown. She looked down and truly saw nothing wrong with the dark red dress that she wore.

"Amethyst, that dress isn't even new! Seriously, we're going to the grandest ball of the year. You can't wear something so… plain."

Amethyst rolled her eyes. "This is my grandest dress. What else am I supposed to wear?" Immediately after the question left her mouth she regretted asking. She groaned as Sarah smiled and took her hand and pulled her into her room.


"Well don't you look handsome Ed," Susan said to her youngest brother. Lucy giggled and Peter choked back a laugh. In truth, their brother was becoming a very handsome young man. With his dark brown hair, attractive face, strong build, and dark brown eyes he was as handsome as Susan was beautiful. Which is why Susan had taken it upon herself to dress him up. You'll be happy I did this once the party begins, she had said while fixing his hair.

"Yeah, Ed, you look great," Lucy added trying to hide a smile.

"Yeah I bet he'll be a real hit at the party," Peter said, giving Edmund a significant look that made Edmund's face flush red. This brought on another fit of laugher. Edmund sighed.

"Well if we're done commenting on my attire, I believe we have a party to get to," he said with great dignity and offered his arm to Lucy so they could go downstairs to the ballroom and face their guests.
