Hello readers this is the amazing editor, the author and I have decided to refer to all you readers as a flock. (Cough* Haikyuu reference cough* Don't think anyone got that but oh well. Comment if you did.) I hope you are all enjoying the story thus far and remember we accept suggestions with open arms… Unless you ask us to kill ourselves in which case… Sorry but we will have to decline… Ok I know how annoying reading these can be so without further ado, here is the story…

Hahahah no just kidding the story is after the author's note…

Author here, Dear FLOCK, in all normal accounts I refer to myself as a Raven and here I named myself Red cuz of Red Riding Hood… Also because I wrote a short story in which there was a village called Red Hood as a reference to her. So my username is RedHood but you guys are a flock because ravens yeah yeah anyways story…

Ding Ding the bell rings as another customer enters the shop. I sigh and yell for one of my sisters to answer the door and assist the customer… I happen to be at the cash register which is probably the most boring job EVER because I HAVE to smile every time someone buys something. OH, it's quite a nightmare. Neither of my siblings make an appearance and I find myself having to get up and answer the door MYSELF! (I know right? The nerve!) What a pain. I sigh as I watch my lunch break fly out the window… Now people think I'm plain sloppy but they don't realise I do ALL the work! I mean how am I supposed to keep up my looks and appearance if I don't get a break? After all, I need to keep the shop going to keep the money flowing. If I could do that AND keep up appearances then I would, but since I can't, I guess appearances will have to go. Not like i'm dressing to impress anyways.

Lunch break went by in a flash and I didn't even get to finish my food. God I'm helpless (Reference to Hamilton). After closing up the shop for the evening I eat dinner along with my sisters and parents.

Bi (18) - Father, how was your day?

Father - Nothing exciting, just more papers.

Mother - Ladies, have you read the paper?

Bi, Dora (20) - No, why? Is there something important…

Mother - IMPORTANT is an understatement! This is EXTRAORDINARY!

Mother - I expected all of you to participate in the selection. It's a wonderful opportunity and all three of you are eligible. Even you my youngest.

Father - Don't you think that's a bit controlling, what if they don't wish to participate? Please dear think about this.

Mother - This is a better future I want them to try, at least try.

Daughters (one by one) - I shall try mother, I can give it a shot, … ok, I'll prove to y'all that I can be myself and be successful just you wait. (Ok we all know who the last one was...)

Mother - I like your enthusiasm daughters.

Bi (quiet) - I believe in you sis, I bet you can do it.

Dora - Pfft, you, ok you can try, but look at you and then look at me. Who do you think has a better shot?

Dinner ends and we each get our separate forms. I sit on my bed with a pen in hand. I read and re-read the question asked on the pricy paper. After filling out the forms and including important skills such as embroidery (Yes I know a tomboy like me doesn't embroider, but I didn't have a choice). My application will look so much like my sisters it's uncanny. We all know how to play the piano, embroider and other IMPORTANT things (read : USELESS things). I expect my mother will force me into a frilly dress for the pictures. Yes I know the king no longer hand picks everything but the prince still needs to memorize faces and my mother expects me to be one of the faces that the prince ACTUALLY remembers… Yeah like that's going to happen. Sigh* After giving my form to my mother, I decide to go to my room before she tries to assault me with numerous frilly THINGS and accessories… The horror I have to endure just to appease my mother would scare just about anyone… But she just wants the best for us even if that may not be the best for ourselves…

Pictures, here we go, as expected I am wearing a white shirt a baby pink skirt and a nice turquoise cardigan. This totally looks like something Bi would wear but anyways here it goes.

Clerk - Name?

Me - Luna
