Title: Dancing
A/N: For the lola's 10 drabbles, 10 topics challenge.
Astoria sat at the edge of her pond, swinging her legs and trailing bare feet in the cool water. Long brown hair waved around her shoulders in the gentle breeze, and she turned her face towards the sun, smiling.
"Daph? Are we going to the party tonight?" She asked, flicking a stone into the water.
"It's a ball, not a party." Daphne pointed out, with all the wisdom that came with being nine.
"Oh. Are we going then?" Her sister nodded, and went back to her reading.
Astoria grinned. She loved the parties her mother held. She got to wear pretty dresses, and her mother would show them to all her friends. She got to dance with people, twirling round and round until she felt dizzy. And the food was even nicer than normal, laid out in patterns of coloured jelly and neat sandwiches. Maybe tonight she could even stay up for the whole thing.
"Daphne! Astoria!" Her mother's voice called from the house. Astoria pulled her feet out of the lake and wiped them on the grass, before following her sister.
