Sorry guys. I have had to work late the last couple of days and I've been so tired.
I will be doing this ball in two parts since I just don't have time to write it all out. I will send the second part in tomorrow, but I really wanted to get as much of this out as I could.

Tye had been acting strangely in immortal studies the rest of the week as they studied the prophecy. Her friends figured it was nerves about the ball. It was three days before the ball that Able confronted her about it. Ever since they visit to town she had been very careful when speaking to Tye. They were in Etiquette class practicing passing plates without spilling the food.
"Do you have everything you need for the ball?" Able asked.
"Yea I think so." Tye said. "Marcase let me go into town yesterday and I picked up the last few things I would need."
"Good I don't think he would have wanted to deal with Lady Minorum if you didn't have the proper cloths to wear." She said and giggled, which drew a stern glare from their instructor.

The day had gone on as usual. Tye found herself getting a little tired of the same schedule everyday. She was on her way back when she saw Miss Sanders walking down the hall. With Lyn doing everything around their rooms, she had not seen Miss Sanders that much.
"Oh, hello there Tye." Miss sanders greeted with a large smile.
"Um could I ask you for a favor?" Tye asked quietly.
"Of course, it's what I'm here for." She replied, blue eyes sparkling.
"Well I can't really sew of anything. I have a dress for the ball part of the evening, but I was wondering if you could help size it to me better." Tye asked. "I really don't know how to sew or fix cloths at all."
Miss sander thought a moment. "Well I can do something better. I know a woman in town who would be happy to fix the dress up for you. She worked under a very famous seamstress. Lalassa I think her name was. Let me take your measurements then I will take the dress to her and she will have it ready the day before the call." Tye sighed relieved.

Everyone was frantic the day of the dinner and ball. Servants ran around putting up the finishing touches on the castle for the night.
Lady Minorum had the pages come to her room a few hours before the dinner to make sure they were ready. All of them had been given matching page uniforms to wear. They had a small practice before they were sent to the dining room to get into their places.
"Remember that if you spill anything or mess this up in anyway, you will have two hours with me on your next free day." Lady Minorum warned them before they left.
The first and second years were in a hallway that led to the kitchens, hidden from view. They couldn't see the guests out in the dining room but they could hear them. Everyone was stiff and nervous, but so far nothing had gone wrong.
Tye calmed after a while, thinking that nothing would go wrong now that it was almost over. Unfortunately at that moment, she had thought the server had taken the plat but it began to fall towards the floor in-between her hands. She went to catch it quickly not wanting it to crash and make a scene. One hand went on the bottom, while the other one landed right in the middle of the food causing it to splash up. She looked up to see Ronald smirking until he saw that food had gotten on him as well. He eyes became clouded with fury. If Lady Minorum had not come over at that moment then he probably would had attacked her. She told Ronald to take Rikash's place and Rikash would serve for him.
"I'll get you back for this." He whispered before taking his place.

The rest of the dinner had gone without any problems. And Tye was very relieved when it was finally over. Her arms were tired from constantly holding plates.
Lady Minorum talked to Ronald about the two hours on free day first, before she came over to Tye. He left giving her a sneer.
""On you next free day report to my room after breakfast." Lady Minorum explained what she and Ronald would be doing before she finally let Tye go. They had an hour before they had to report to the ball. She knew it wouldn't take that long for her to get ready so she didn't rush.
She could hear the furious movements of Able and Cala trying to get ready in time. She smiled before unlocking her own door and going inside.
A cool breeze hit her face. That was strange she had closed the window. She walked over and closed the window and looked around. Nothing seemed out of place. She clamed and went over the covered dress that was laid across her chair. She had looked at it the night before and was very happy with how it turned out. She lifted the cloth that covered it and gasped.
It was ripped and smeared with dirt. This must have been Ronald's revenge. She sighed and looked down. Disappointed that she would not be able to go to the ball she went to go settle on her bed and read. That would keep her mind off of it. She had just sat down when there was a knock on the door before it opened and Miss Sanders came in.
Her smile faded when she saw Tye sitting on the bed. She turned and saw the dress lying on the chair.
"I was afraid something like this would happen." She said shaking her head. "Come with me. Good thing I had a little something extra made for you just in case."
Tye didn't know what to say.
"Oh don't you worry about paying me back either. My friend was happy to make this special dress for a low price." She told Tye with another smile. "These other girls have families that provide for them and could get them another hundred dresses if they wanted. You on the other hand have to do it all yourself. You deserve a little something now and again." She said with her motherly smile. Tye was speechless. No one had ever done something like this for her before. Miss Sanders honestly cared about her. She felt tears prickling her eyes and shot off the bed and into Miss Sander's arms to hide them and show he thanks.
"Thank you." She whispered. "No one has ever done anything like this for me before."
Miss Sanders rubbed her back before they parted from their hug. "I was happy to do it. Now come on we don't have much time." She grabbed Tye's arm and rushed out the door.
