Chapter 13

Lightning flashed against the red sky as the wind blew wickedly.

"So," said a voice, "this is it?"

"It- It can't be." Said another. "There has to be something we can do."

"There isn't. This is the end."

"There is one thing. I have to fight my mom."

Dizzy woke to the sound coming from her TV.

"Then you take three peeled and cut apples and place them into the pie…"

Dizzy sat up from her bed and looked over to the sofa to see Admiia flipping through different channels on the TV.

"Girl, how many stations does this thing get? I've already gone through 250 but it just keeps going! I've already passed 15 cook shows, 28 news shows, and 67 different infomercials!" She said.

Dizzy shrugged, "I don't know, we only ever got 2 channels on the isle." She said slowly.

"Kid," Admiia said, looking away from the TV, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I just had a weird dream." Dizzy said as she jumped out of bed.

Admiia raised a brow, "About what?"

"I-I'm not really sure." Dizzy then shook it off. "It's probably just because I ate those spicy chips with the guys last night."

"Even I could have told you that was a bad idea." Admiia laughed.

Dizzy laughed, too.

"But, seriously, how does anyone choose what to watch here?" Admiia said, looking back at the TV.

"Dizzy? You up?" said a voice at the door.

Admiia took that as her sign to leave as she disappeared, so Dizzy smiled and yelled. "Yeah, I'm up!"

Evie then rushed into the room with a huge smile on face. "Dizzy, I have two pieces of super exciting news!"

Dizzy's eyes automatically lit up. "What is it?" she asked, excitedly.

"Well, Mal just asked me if you could make her a necklace for her date with Ben tomorrow night-" Evie started.

"That classifies as 'super exciting news'?" Dizzy asked. "I've made stuff for others, so this isn't really new."

"Well, I was getting to that." Evie said. "Because you've done such a great job with me for the past few days, helping me out with everything, I think it's time to take you to the next level."

"What does that mean?" Dizzy asked, confused.

"I think it's time for you to create your own line!"

"Wait," Dizzy said, "You mean you want me to create my own fashion line?"

Evie smiled. "That's what I'm saying!" she said excitedly. "What do you think?"

Dizzy's face dropped slightly, a bit stunned. "I think I need to sit down." She said as she shakily sat down on her bed.

Evie then grew concerned. "Diz, are you ok?" she asked as she quickly came to sit down next to her friend.

Dizzy looked to Evie, "You want me to make my own line? Evie, there's no way I'm good enough for that."

"Dizzy, trust me. I've seen your work and you are so ready for this."

"But, you're my best friend, Evie, and best friends are supposed to say stuff like that." Dizzy countered.

Evie smiled and gave a little laugh under her breath. "I had a feeling you'd say something like that." She pulled off her purse and dug through it to pull out her sketchbook. "Diz, I'm not the only one who thinks your designs are amazing." She opened the book and gave it to Dizzy. There in the book was a clipping from a newspaper that read:

'Who is 'DIZZY OF THE ISLE"?

The Story Behind Auradon's New Accessories Designer

At last night's Cotillion, the world was introduced to fashion hair accessories. These one-of-a-kind items are made with found objects like keys, watch parts, and rusted gears. They come in the form of clips, coms, and headbands. Each accessory is a small but intricate piece of art, like the one worn by Evie, Auradon's resident fashionista, in the photo below.'

Dizzy took a quick moment to look down at the picture before she continued reading.

'When asked about her latest creations, Evie was quick to give credit to a mysterious new designer. "These are by Dizzy of the Isle!" she announced to the crowd. But Evie disappeared into the yacht before we could get further information. At the time of the publication, we still hadn't heard back from her for further comment.'

Dizzy looked up at Evie.

"They loved it, Dizzy. You wouldn't believe all the calls I got about you and your creations after the Cotillion. Everyone wanted to know more about you and if you were going to make more pieces." Evie told her.

"What did you tell them?" Dizzy asked.

"Actually, I didn't answer them."

Dizzy was confused. "Why?"

"Because I wanted you to be the one who answered their questions." Evie said with a smile, a few happy tears lining her eyes. "You have SO much talent, Dizzy, and the world needs to see it. You are more than ready for this."

Dizzy could feel the happiness stream from her eyes as well. She screamed a little and hugged Evie.

Evie chuckled. "And don't worry about the rest. You can even still work in my room if you want."

"THANK YOU, EVIE!" Dizzy said in complete excitement.

"Ok, Diz, don't forget I said I had two things to tell you."

Dizzy smiled. "I don't think you could top what you just told me."

Evie took a breath before starting, "Well, I just got a letter in the mail that is addressed to you."

That snapped Dizzy out of her excitement, a little. "Wait, a letter?" This confused her. "From who?"

"Well, just open it and find out." Evie said as she handed Dizzy the golden envelope.

Dizzy looked at it for a moment. It was so fancy and elegant she almost didn't want to open it. But the question of who could have sent her a letter was eating away at her, so she opened it and took a piece of parchment from inside. She held it up to her eyes and read aloud:

"His majesty, King Charming and her highness, Queen Cinderella would like to invite you, Miss Dizzy Tremaine, to dinner this Tuesday night, September the 9th, at 6:00 PM.

Please RSVP at your earliest convenience.

Cordially,
King Chamming and Queen Cinderella."

Dizzy's mouth dropped and the paper dropped from her hands. All of her excitement from the news about her fashion line had disappeared from her face and was now replaced by fear. Queen Cinderella was inviting her to dinner?

Evie didn't notice as she smiled. "Dizzy, isn't this amazing?!" she asked excitedly as she picked up the letter to read it for herself. "That's tomorrow!"

Dizzy found herself taking quick breaths. "E-E-Evie?"

Evie looked up from the letter and found Dizzy shaking. "Dizzy? What's wrong?" Evie had never seen Dizzy shake since she was on the Isle. Even after her encounters with Chad, Dizzy never looked so scared.

"C-C-C-Cinderella," Dizzy said, fear in each word, "W-w-wants me, to-to come to see her?"

Evie put a hand to Dizzy's shoulder. It took her a second to realize why Dizzy was so petrified. The realization spread all over her face as she looked to her little sister.

"Dizzy, what have we told you ever since you first ran into Chad?" when she didn't respond, Evie continued, "That everything that happened to Cinderella has absolutely nothing to do with you. Cinderella is nothing like Chad. She's kind and caring. She's actually one of the first people to reach out to us VK's after everything that happened at the coronation."

"But what if she's just like that to you?" Dizzy asked, a little bit calmed down from her shaking. "What if she just wants me to get close so she can-"

"She wouldn't do that." Evie interrupted Dizzy's thought. "She doesn't have the heart to do that."

It was silent for a moment before Evie smiled. "I know you don't want to, but you're going to that dinner."

Dizzy looked to Evie in a bit of shock.

"You'll see I'm right. She's going to love you."

Dizzy was still scared, but she nodded.

Evie went to put the letter into the envelope when she realized another piece of paper that laid inside. She pulled in out and looked at the message that was written on it. Evie smiled as she showed it to Dizzy.

'Dear Dizzy,

I just want you to know I do not harbor any ill will toward you for the way your mother or grandmother treated me in my youth. I just want to meet you and be the best aunt I can be. Please trust me when I say I would never want to hurt you.

I Love you,
Aunt Cindy.'

Dizzy smiled a bit as she looked up to Evie, who also had a smile on her face.

"See, I told you she was a friend."
