.htm Elle drove down the road in her new car that she loved so much.

"I can't believe I get to see Paulette after 6 months" Elle told her dog Bruiser. "And you Bruiser get to see Rufus." At that Bruiser stood up and barked. After a while of driving Elle pulled up to Lilies spa. Elle met up with Paulette in the sauna.

"Oh my gosh Elle" Paulette nearly screamed. "Yes Girlfriend its me" Elle said teasingly. "its been such a long time since I have seen you" Paulette told Elle. "The last time I saw you was at your wedding, And you were the most beautiful bride ever"

"Thanks so much Paulette" Elle replied to Paulette. Elle and Paulette kept this small talk going for hours. They talked about their dogs, Paulette's baby girl named Elle, Emmit, Elle's wedding, Elle's Graduation, What they wanted to do in the next few years and their families.

"I have a big case in two days and I am so stressed out, do you have any advice?" Elle confided in Paulette.

"Well" Paulette said, "just picture every one in the courtroom naked and you will not be so nervous."

" I could try that but that would be very scary considering that the man I am defending is a big fat blob." Elle told Paulette

The two shared a big laugh and decide that they should get out of the spa before it got too late. Elle and Paulette hugged and promised that they would get together next week and Paulette would bring little Elle over. Elle took Bruiser out of the dog babysitting room. It took Elle forever to find a spa that had one of those but finally she did. On Elle's way home all she could think about was that case she had to go to tomorrow. This mans life was in her hands.

I can't handle this thought Elle. I am a Barbie girl from California not a person who can decide a person's fate. "rrrrrrrrrr" Elle screamed frustrated as she pulled up in the driveway of her house. She took Bruiser out of the car and walked and unlocked the front door. She walked in and slammed the door. Emmit who was in the living room watching tv jumped and ran to the front door to see Elle with tears running down her face leaning against the door.

"What's wrong Honey", Emmit asked Elle wondering what had happened. He had a worried look on his face as he looked into Elle's teary eyes.

"I can't do this Emmit, I just can't."

"You cant do what?"

"This case I have tomorrow"

"Yes you can Elle I have faith in you"

"Ok, I guess I should get some rest"

"Yea maybe you will feel better in the morning"

Emmit kissed Elle on the forehead and told her that he would be up to bed in a little while. Elle walked into their room and took a shower. When she got out she brushed her teeth put on her nightgown and hopped into bed hoping that her day would go well tomorrow. .htm
