"MOM

"MOM! MOM! MOM! You got to see the dress I bought!"Brooke shrieked.

"Let me see."Her mom replied."Oh, honey it's beautiful. Is it for the dance? And Nick?" Her mom was asking way to many questions. She didn't know what to answer first.

"Yes it's for the dance and for Nick." Brooke promptly. She had told her mom that she and Nick were only going to the dance as FRIENDS.

"Well, anyway it's lovely. I'm sure he will love it. Go put it on for me so I can see what it looks like." Brooke's mom ordered with a slight chuckle.

Brooke went into her room and closed the door. Then she saw Val.

"H-hey Val." She stuttered."I thought you were going to Tyler's house."

"Nah, we had enough excitement at the mall."She said with a laugh.

"Well can you leave for a second while I try on my dress for mom."

"Sure."

Val got up and left the room,"MOM, I'm gonna go over to Tyler's for a while"

"Ok Brooke. Come on out." her mom yelled.

Brooke walked out of her room. The dress laid just right. The white lace at the bottom went to the middle of her upper leg and the straps weren't too tight. Perfect she thought.

"Oh honey! It's absolutely perfect." Her mom squealed! "Let's go out and get your nails and your hair done. Then we'll come home and you'll get dressed and I'll give you a lift to the dance."

"Um... Ok but um Nick and I were kinda gonna walk together."

"Oh ok. Well let's go get your nails done."

They got in the car and drove over to Dazzle Nails. They walked inside.

"Hello! Welcome to DAZZLE NAILS, how can I help you?" A lady who worked there said.

"Um... I think we're gonna get a French manicure. Can we see some samples of designs?" Brooke's mom asked.

"Sure." The lady showed them various colors and pictures.

"That one" Brooke said. It was white with silver tips and a silver sparkly flower. It matched her dress perfectly.

"Ok come right this way."The lady ordered.

The lady got out the French manicure stuff.

"Ok i'm gonna put this white stuff on which will make your tips." The lady said.

After about 30 minutes Brooke had long white tips on her fingernails. The lady got out then some silver nail polish and painted the tips. Then she painted the rest of Brooke's Nail white. Finally when the polish dried it was time to put the airbrush on it.

"Ok. Come right over here." The lady ordered.

They went over to the airbrush machine. The lady set the pattern and got to work. When all the nails were done, it was time to add the sparkles.

Finally, after sitting for about an hour or so, her nails were done. Her mother paid and they went on their way to the hair salon.

"Hello Mrs. Lanier. What can I do for you?" Suzie, Brooke's family's hairdresser asked.

"Hi, Suzie.Brooke's going to a formal dance and we'd like to get her hair done."

"Ok right this way."

Brooke sat in the large chair by the sink. Suzie started to wash it. Then she sat in the chair.

"Ok what kind of style did you want?"

"Well," Brooke said, "I kind of was thinking a zig-zag part pulled back into a large butterfly clip with little butterfly clips on the sides and stuff."

After about two hours it was done.

"Perfect."

(A/n: OK were gonna go right to the part when she is dressed.)

"Oh Brooke! You look beautiful. Go knock em' dead."Her father encouraged.

The doorbell rang. There was Nick with a bouquet of flowers for Brooke. She gave them to her mother to put in a vase and off they went to the dance.
