Author's Note: sorry for the delay. I went on vacation then for my birthday I got a puppy! So I haven't had much time to write!!
Sophie was almost 13 years old. She wondered what her mom was going to do for her birthday. She walked out of her and to the front desk.
"Hey mom." Sophie smiled.
"Hey Soph." Donna said looking up from her work.
"Whatcha you doing?" Sophie asked.
"Getting ready for Tanya, Rosie, and your grandpa to visit." Donna told her.
"Auntie Tanya, Auntie Rosie, and grandpa are coming?!" Sophie exclaimed.
"Yes." Donna said.
And right on cue, three adults walked in.
"Auntie Rosie! Auntie Tanya! Grandpa!" Sophie exclaimed as she hugged all three.
"I wasn't expecting you all for another hour." Donna said.
"Well, our flight got in sooner than we thought." Rosie said.
"Tanya, how are you holding up?" Donna asked.
"Great!" Tanya smiled.
"Wow, it's only been 7 months." Donna said.
"I know. 5 months after the divorce, I met another man. He's a plastic surgeon and he just proposed to me!" Tanya exclaimed showing Donna her ring.
"Tanya!" Donna smiled.
"I know! I was thinking of having the wedding here." Tanya said.
"Of course you can!" Donna smiled.
Sophie grew angry about no one saying anything about her big birthday and stomped off to her bedroom.
"Everything set for Sophie's surprise party?" Donna's dad asked.
"Yes, her best friends are coming late tonight. I'm picking them and Sophie will see them early in the morning." Donna told him.
He nodded.
"Well, I have to give Sophie her dress for her party." Donna said as she picked up a box behind the desk.
Donna walked into Sophie's room.
"Sophie, I have an early birthday present." Donna said.
Sophie smiled brightly.
"You remember!" She exclaimed.
"How could I forget?" Donna asked handing Sophie her present.
Sophie opened the present to reveal a sky blue spaghetti strap dress that went down to her knees.
"I love it mom! Thanks!" Sophie smiled as she hugged her mom.
"I want you to wear it for your birthday." Donna said.
"I will!" Sophie exclaimed.
"Now come on, I have to take you to the mainland to get you make-up." Donna said.
"Make-up?" Sophie asked.
"You're turning 13, you can wear make-up." Donna said.
Donna and Sophie went to the mainland to get make-up for Sophie. When they got back, it was already dinner time. After Sophie had gone to bed, Donna drove to the dock to pick up Ali, Lisa, and their parents. Once she picked them up, she took them back to the hotel. Ali and Lisa slept in sleeping bags in Sophie's room.
Sophie woke up the next morning and notice Ali and Lisa.
"Ali? Lisa?" Sophie asked.
"Happy birthday Sophie." They smiled.
Sophie hugged her best friends.
"We're Sophie, Ali, Lisa, we're the greatest best of friends!" they cheered.
"I'm strong!" Ali cheered.
"I'm tall!" Lisa cheered.
"I'm tiny!" Sophie cheered.
"And we're gonna rock this place! Woah!" they cheered as they hugged each other.
Sophie, Ali, and Lisa all went to eat breakfast. After breakfast, they started getting ready for the party.
"Hey Ali, since you're dressed. Can you get my mom for me?" Sophie asked.
"Sure." Ali said.
Sophie sat on her bed. She was still in her double A bra and underwear. Even though she was 13, she didn't want to let go of being her mom's little girl.
Donna walked in.
"Sophie, how come you aren't dressed yet?" Donna asked.
"Ali? Lisa? Can I be alone with my mom?" Sophie asked.
Ali and Lisa nodded and walked out.
"Mom, I don't want to young woman. I want to be your baby." Sophie said.
"Sophie, you're always going to be my baby girl. No matter how old you get." Donna told her as she hugged Sophie.
"Now get into your dress. I'll put your make-up on." Donna said.
Sophie slipped on her new dress and then went over to Donna. Donna put Sophie's hair half up, half down. Then she put on Sophie's make-up.
"You look great baby girl." Donna smiled.
"Thanks mom." Sophie smiled as she hugged her.
Donna and Sophie walked up and went to the courtyard.
"Where is everyone?" Sophie asked.
"I don't know. They're around somewhere." Donna said.
Just then everyone jumped out.
"SURPRISE!" they shouted.
Sophie smiled brightly.
"Happy Birthday Sophie!" they cheered.
They all had cake and ice cream. After cake, Sophie opened up her presents from her friends and family. Sophie got clothes from Tanya and Rosie. Ali and Lisa got her some more drawing stuff.
"Sophie, here's your present from me." Donna's dad said handing a small box to Sophie.
Sophie opened it up and saw a necklace in it.
"It was your grandma's necklace. She told me she wanted you to have right before she died. She wanted you to have to make up for not knowing you." He told her.
Sophie went to her grandpa and hugged him. "I love it."
Her grandpa smiled back at her.
"Thanks everyone for this." Sophie smiled.
"Don't thank us; it was all your mom's idea." Rosie said.
Sophie turned to her mom and ran to her. She hugged her tightly.
"Thanks mom." Sophie smiled.
"You're welcome baby girl." Donna smiled.
That night after everyone was settled in their rooms, Sophie went up to Donna's room.
"Sophie, what are you doing still up?" Donna asked.
"I want to draw you mom." Sophie said holding her sketchbook and pencil.
"Ok fine." Donna said sitting down.
Sophie started drawing Donna and after an hour, she was finished.
"It's perfect baby girl." Donna told her.
"Thanks mom. Can I sleep here tonight?" Sophie asked.
"Sure thing." Donna smiled.
Sophie got into bed with Donna. They soon fell asleep.
