I couldn't wait to get to school the next morning. I also couldn't wait to invite Sletcher, Zion, and David to Murriana's birthday party. Bais and I planned to take Murriana shopping for some new clothes, shoes, and

any car she wanted. I laid out Murriana's clothes for the day because I didn't want her to wear her usual clothes. I hid the locked up her dresses afterwards so she could only where those clothes. I was so excited. I

knew nothing could spoil this day. Murriana on the other hand… well she wasn't so excited yet. But she will be when Bais and I take her shopping. "Hey Murriana! How are you this morning?" Bais said. "Tired."

Replied Murriana. "Well how 'bout you and Bais go upstairs and get dressed. I'll make breakfast." I told them. The tire Murriana trudged off to go to her room to dress for school. Bais stayed behind to ask me what

tricks I had up my sleeve for Murriana's party. "After school we are going to take her shopping for new clothes. She can pick out whatever she wants. Then, we will take her to get a new car. And Finally, I will have u

keep her busy while I set up for the party and we should invite Zion, David, and Sletcher." I told Bais. "That's a perfect plan!" Bais exclaimed excitedly. "Now go get dressed for school little sis." I said sternly. "Yes

mama!" she said in an official military way. I laughed as she ran up the stairs. I made Murriana's favorite breakfast, French toast with bacon and eggs. The smell was so sweet that it made my mouth water.

"Breakfast!" I called up the stairs. Murriana was first down the stairs. She had on faded blue jeans and a black top that hugged her curves. I picked her outfit well. "Mmm mmm. My favorite!" Murriana exclaimed. "You

eat while I go get dressed." I told her. After I set her plait down, I went upstairs to find something to wear. I went through my drawers until I found a blue jean skirt that Bais had gotten me for my birthday that I

hadn't worn yet. Then I chose a blue shirt that was like Murriana's except it was red. I felt odd wearing clothes that cling to me but I guess it was ok for today. I pulled my hair back in a pony tail when I was done. I

went back down stairs to find Bais eating breakfast and Murriana walking to the living room to read a book. "Murriana come here. Let me do your hair before it dries." I told her. "I want to help too." Bais added.

"UGH!" was Murriana's response before we dragged her upstairs. We brushed out her hair then braided two parts and pulled it back into a pony tail. "You look beautiful Murriana!" Bais exclaimed clearly pleased with

what we did. "Thanks Bais." Murriana said. "You look really elegant Murriana" I told her. "Thanks Selena." Murriana told me. "Come on guys or we're going to be late!" Bais called back to us. We didn't see her leave

but she was already half way down the hall. "Calm down Bais! We are always first to school. No need to worry." Murriana called back to her. "Yeah yeah yeah!" Bais called back over her shoulder. Murriana and I left

the bathroom and headed down the stairs and into the garage where we found Bais leaning against the car tapping her foot with her arms folded across her chest. Murriana and I laughed as we climbed into my

Porsche. As we drove to school Bais kept talking and talking about how Murriana should be excited on her birthday and Murriana just zoned out and nodded with an occasional mhm to make it seem like she was

really listening. When I finally pulled into the school parking lot, Murriana jumped out of the car clearly ready to make a run towards the school to get rid of Bais talking on and on about how she should be happier

and blah blah blah. I only laughed at her expression of annoyance. We walked each other to home room. We left Bais first. Then Murriana. And alone I walked the deserted hallway to my home room. School flew by in

a blur. Then came Biology. I was first there as usual. But there was a change. Usually Mike would be second, but today Sletcher was second. "Darn. I was hoping to beat you here. Oh well. Can we still talk?" Sletcher

told me in a sweet tone. "Umm…sure, why not?" I replied. "Excellent!" He said in a very excited way. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked him. "I don't know. I thought you would have something to talk about."

He told me sheepishly. "Well I'm throwing a birthday party for my sister Murriana and I was wondering if you and your brothers would like to come." I told him. "We'd love to." Replied Sletcher. "Great!" I exclaimed. He

flashed a beautiful smile at me showing me that he was pleased with himself that I was happy. Then class started and I could feel Sletcher staring at me all through the period. Finally the dismissal bell rang and I

said goodbye to Sletcher and that I would see him later. Before I walked out the door he pulled me in a hug and kissed my forehead. I blushed a crimson red. "Can I walk you to your car?" Sletcher asked me. "Sure.

That would be nice."I said bashfully. Sletcher grasped my hand and we started to walk out towards the cars. When we were in the parking lot I saw his car parked next to mine. I got in my car and waited for my

sisters to come out. Sletcher mimicked my movements. I laughed when I saw Bais and David walk out holding hands. Together they walked towards the cars. Then Murriana and Zion walked out holding hands and

laughing. Together they walked towards the cars too. It seems to me that Sletcher and his brothers are gentle men. "Ready for your gifts Murriana?" Bais questioned. "I am now." Murriana said in a love struck tone.

I tried to contain my girlish giggles. I pulled out of the parking lot and towards the mall. "Ok Murriana you can have whatever outfits you want. You also get whatever shoes you want to go with those outfits." I

explained to Murriana. "Awesome!" Murriana exclaimed. Then we started walking towards the mall. Murriana had fun looking for clothes. She found a black t-shirt that she put with dark blue jeans. Then she found a

red quarter sleeve shirt that she put with khaki pants. She pulled a blue tank top off the rack and a navy blue skort. She also found a navy blue t-shirt that she matched with light blue jeans. "How come you won't

pick out a dress or skirt Murriana?" inquired Bais. "Because I haven't found any I like yet." Murriana said in a matter-of-fact way. "Oh" Bais said regretting she said anything. Then we walked over to the dress aisle

and Murriana tried on a beautiful purple dress with little sequins around the waist that hugged her curves and looked extravagant on her. "Murriana you look like a princess!" squealed Bais. Murriana turned towards

me to see what I thought. "Wow you look extravagant Murriana. Just like a princess." I told her with admiration in my voice. "Thanks guys." She told us gratefully. "Come on Murriana! Let's go look at shoes!" Bais

said impatiently. Murriana and I exchanged looks and she went to change back into her clothes. We walked over to the shoes aisle with the bouncy Bais. Murriana found sequin high heels to go with her dress. Then

Bais showed her some high tops to match the navy blue shirt. Murriana took them from her and said thanks. Then Murriana found some sandals that she said would look really good with the green shirt. She also

found some sneakers that she loved. Bais found some high tops to go with her other outfits. "Is that it guys?" I asked them. "Yup!" they said together. We went to check out. Bais kept looking at me with a look

asking me if we were going to get the car now. Yes we are. I thought to her. As we walked out to the car, I saw that Sletcher's car was there. They must be picking out Murriana's gifts too. We climbed into my Porsche

again. When I drove into the parking lot of Murriana's favorite Ford Car Store she couldn't contain her excitement. "OH MY GOD YOU DIDN'T!!!" She exclaimed. "I did." I told her with excitement in my voice. As soon as

we came to a stop, Murriana jumped out of the car and waited for us to get out. We looked around at every car before she found her favorite one. "I would love this Black 2009 Ford f-150!" She told me. "Then it's

yours." I told her. She was completely silent when I told her that then "NO WAY!!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!" she exclaimed. As I payed for her car, I knew she couldn't wait to get her new car and drive it home. So after

the owners drove it out of the store she got in the truck and listened to the truck roar to life. "Ready to go?" I asked her. " Yup!" She said over the roar of the engine. "I wanna go with Murriana. Can I Selena? Oh

please Murriana?" Bais whined. "Of course little sis. Hop in." Murriana said. I told them to be careful and I thought to Bais, remember keep her busy and make sure she puts a dress or something nice on before you let her

come home . She nodded and they took off down the road. I got into my Porsche and drove home to decorate our house for the drive way. Carefully I streamed streamers and Chinese lanterns to the trees to indicate

the guest to the house. Then inside I put up balloons and streamers. On the table I laid out a blue table cloth and put a bouquet of white and blue roses in the center. On the piano I put some crystal bowels also

filled with white and blue roses. Then I went to the kitchen to bake the cake. It would be a strawberry cake with strawberry icing. Her favorite. After the cake was done baking I put on the icing and made some small

flowers with what was left over. I set the cake on the piano. When I was finished decorating, I went upstairs to clean up and put on a fresh set of clothes. I put on a red dress that was almost identical to Murriana's

new purple dress but it was a v-neck and had the sequins on the "v" neck line. Then I put on some lip gloss and waited for Sletcher Zion and David to arrive. I heard the door bell ring. I walk over to answer the door.

"Hey Selena." Sletcher greeted me as he looked me over. "Hi guys. Come on in." I greeted them. I offered to take the gifts from Zion, David, and Sletcher. I carried them over to the piano and set them down around

the cake. I invited them to sit down on the sofa while I called Bais to bring Murriana home. "Is she in different clothes?" I asked her. "Yes. I got her to put on a dress. I couldn't get her to put on a bright color so it's

black." Bais confirmed. "That's ok. As long as she is out of the blue jeans." I said. "Ok Selena I'll let her come home now." Bais told me. "Ok. Bye Bais see you in a little bit." And I shut my cell. "Who plays the piano?"

Zion asked. "I do. My sisters play different instruments." I answered. "Play for us Selena." Sletcher encouraged. "Ok. I guess if you want." I said as I blushed. I walked over to the piano and placed my hands the keys

that started to the song I wrote for Sletcher. After I finished I heard the cut of Murriana's truck engine. I walked over to the door and saw how beautiful Murriana looked. Bais must have dragged her into a beauty

salon because her hair was pulled partially up and curled and her face looked like that of a porcelain doll. She had a little bit of glitter by her eyes and she had a light brown eye shadow on. She had a radiant dark

red lip gloss on. She could take any guys breathe away. She walked over and I complimented her and she thanked me. As the three of us walked into the house, Zion saw Murriana, walked over to her, swept her off

her feet, and kissed her. David and Sletcher did the same to Bais and me. We all talked for a while. "Let's go open presents." Bais said like an innocent little girl. We all crowded around my piano to open Murriana's

gifts. Zion had gotten her a beautiful heart necklace with an emerald gemstone in the center. David had gotten her silver hoop earrings to match the necklace. And Sletcher had gotten her a bracelet to match the

necklace as well. Murriana loved them and hugged and thank all of us. Then we all sang "Happy Birthday" to her and cut the cake. When we were all done eating the cake slices we talked until dark. The party soon

ended and Zion David and Sletcher left. "That was wonderful! Thank you." Murriana told Bais and me. "You're welcome." We told her. We all went upstairs to get ready for bed. After I said good night to my sisters

and wished Murriana a happy birthday one last time I walked to my room. Another perfect ending to the perfect day I thought. Slowly I was sucked into a dream filled sleep.
