The next day Shirayuki finally got away from her step-mother by telling her that she needs to go and pick more apple because she uses all of them when she makes apple pie. She saw Zen standing beside a tree with his arms cross. "Sorry, I'm late," Shirayuki said, bowing her head to Zen.
"It fine. I'm so happy that you come." Zen said, walked over to Shirayuki.
"You are?" Shirayuki asked, looking up at Zen.
"Yes. Oh, I have something for you." Zen said, pull out a card and hand it to Shirayuki.
"What is it?" Shirayuki asked, take the card and open it.
"It an invitation for the ball tonight at the castle. Sorry, it was late notice." Zen said, looking at Shirayuki.
"Wait you work in the castle. So that meet you know the prince?" Shirayuki asked, looking back at him.
"Yeah, the prince and I are really close." Zen answer.
"Thank you, I will be happy to go," Shirayuki said, heading the town bell ringing. "Well, I got to go home now." She said, walked off.
"Okay, I will see you there tonight," Zen said, waving goodbye to Shirayuki. Before Shirayuki enters the house, she hides the invitation in her basket.
"Shirayuki did it take you that long to goo and pink apple," Belladonna said, tipping her feet.
"I'm sorry, the apple was very high." Shirayuki lie, looking at Belladonna.
"I don't care your excuse put that basket down because of the ball it tonight and Carrie and Elvira need to get their dress on," Belladonna said, grab Shirayuki arm after she set the basket down. Belladonna pulls Shirayuki out of the kitchen.
"It about time you got here," Carrie said, looking at Shirayuki. "Do my hair and making it stand out so the prince will love it," Carrie said. sat down on a chair.
"You hear her get to work," Belladonna said, walked out of the room. Shirayuki walked up to Carrie and starting doing her hair. After a while, Shirayuki got done help Carrie and Elvira with their hair and put on their dress.
"Come on girl it time for the ball. Shirayuki we will be home around midnight." Belladonna said, walking out of the house with Carrie and Elvira and got in the carriage. Shirayuki walked upstairs to her tell tower and went through her closet for a beautiful dress her mother used to wear.
She put on an orange dragging-dress that shows the front of her legs (knee to feet) with deep purple straps around her collarbone that twist around her chest and to her waist, light pink coloring inside, and deep purple scale-like trimming. Her shoes are pale blue heels with straps from her toes to her lower shin and gold jewels decorating it. She also wears gold pearl earrings with raindrop-like jewels dangling from them, pale blue necklaces around her neck (as a choker) and collarbone (like a regular necklace), and two gold necklaces on her left wrist while the larger one has purple gems around it.
Shirayuki walked to town to see if she can use a carriage to get to the ball. She knocks on a door and an older man answer. "Can I help you?" The man asked, looking at Shirayuki.
"Can I borrow a carriage to go to the ball?" Shirayuki answer with another a question.
"You can but let me take you up there." The man said, walked out of the house and went over to the carriage. "Here you go." He said, open the door and Shirayuki got in.
"Thank you," Shirayuki said before he closes the door. She feels the carriage took off to the castle. After a while of driving, she finally got to the castle.
"I will wait here for you so you don't have to walk." The man said, open the door to the carriage.
"Okay, I will be back before midnight," Shirayuki said, walking up the staircase and show the guards her invitation to let her in the castle. After she got in the castle she went to the ballroom and saw a lot of people dancing with each other.
