Tonight was sure to be the best. Kristy was home from college and so was the rest of the BSC. She was having her own separate party in the playroom while mine was on the third floor. I had grown out of telling childish ghost stories and Kristy was going to help me decorate. I had bought tons of balloons, streamers, make-up, and each girl was going to bring clothes to try on. I set up the third floor with three air mattresses, some armchairs, and an old coffee table. In Sam's junior year we had the third floor remodeled, so now there was a built in kitchenette and bathroom. I also bought pizza dough so we could make our own pizzas, cake mix, lemonade mix, and plenty of snacks. We were going to cook BIG TIME! Ding dong! I raced downstairs. I smoothed my red and orange kilt, and furry yellow sweater. It was Hannah, she smiled sweetly and took from her back her navy drawstring bag. She also handed Daddy a long thin box filled with biscotti cookies. She was dressed differently than I, in a tight tie-dyed tee shirt, black leggings, and a multi-colored miniskirt. She went upstairs to put away her things. Ding dong! Shannon and Maria Kilbourne stood happily at my doorstep. "Karen! long time, no see!" I smiled. "Hey Maria, hey Shannon. Maria, third floor, Shannon, playroom." Maria shivered, "Third floor?" she croaked. "Third floor." I confirmed firmly. Seconds later, Terri and Natalie arrived. After a few minutes, Riley and Nancy came. We raced upstairs and lounged around. Riley stood up, her green eyes sparkling, she glanced at Maria and Maria nodded. "Karen, I've been meaning to say this to you for a long time. Karen, darling, you need a makeover." I shrieked. "I think a violet for her eyes, and a Red Wine for her mouth." Natalie said. Were they speaking Martian? "Affirmative." Terri nodded. "But a navy would look better." Then a bright light appeared in my eyes and I blanked out. "Done." said a muffled voice. "Mirror." Maria asked for. I, Karen Tanya Brewer looked to put it frankly..........
