When we get to the suite, we spot an envelope on the nicely polished floor.
I pick it up and read it. "Congratulations!" I say, "You have been invited by Paris Hilton to the once a year annual Manhattan's Hilton ball. Everyone in this hotel is!"
Cameron takes it from my hands and reads on. "Tonight at 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm," he reads. "Go shop!" It says.
Piper's eyes pop out of her head as she snatches the invitation from Cameron. "Girls wear a floor length gown?! And boys wear a tuxedo. A floor length gown!" She throws her hands up high.
Jenny rolls her eyes. "Those hide my hooves," she jokes us happily.
...
Pretty soon we got our perfect gowns and well, tuxedos. I bought a nice midnight blue sparkly gown with 5 layers of netting and satin, Jenny bought a puffy wine colored silk dress with one layer, and Piper bought... Nothing. She claimed that Aphrodite would choose something not too girly for her. Now we're walking down the streets back to the hotel.
"How 'bout a nap?" Piper suggests yawning.
"Sure. I am sleepy." I agree.
"Yup." Jenny bobs her pumpkin colored hair up and down. Like it's bouncing.
"No way." Cameron shakes his head. "Guys don't take 'naps.'"
Jenny shrugs. "Suit yourself." She tells him.
...
a monster lunges at me and Piper. we fight it the best we ever fought in our life. My heart almost dances with victory, but the monster snatches Piper and gobbles her up. "Ahhhh!" Were her last words.
I wake up in a jolt to a terrible scream.
"Ahhhhh!" Piper yells.
Her blankets are at the bottom of her bed when I rush into her room and she is staring at the gown that her mother chose for her in her sleep. she's wearing a long sparkly skinny purple hollywood dress. And diamond jewelry with silvery heels.
When I look in the mirror, I'm covered in lipgloss, dark blue eyeshadow, black eyeliner and mascara, and light blush. I'm a make up troll.
Jenny also has make up. Not as much. Just some light eyeshadow and blush. Lucky her. I guess Aphrodite did it to us too.
Make up isn't the only thing on is. I have a golden necklace and bracelet with earrings too. So does Jenny.
I grab my satin dress and put it on in the bathroom, and when Cameron opens the door to fix his collar, his mouth drops open.
"You look, you look, you look..." He sputters. "Gorgeous. Um... Do you wanna be my date at the uh, dance tonight?"
I feel a tingling sensation in my stomach. I mean, I've been waiting forever for him to ask me out and this was the final chance to say yes! "Sure thing," I tell him.
He holds his arm out, and I grab his arm like couples do. Piper giggles as we all step out the door.
