Chapter 2~ The dress
Mirrawen had finally finished her book. It was just two hours till the ball would start. She was kind of dreading the thought of going. She never thought herself as a beautiful elf but ordinary. Because to an elf, to be called beautiful is the best compliment you can receive. She thought herself pretty but never in her wildest dreams did she think beautiful.
She in fact was quite the opposite to what she thought of herself. She had long blonde hair that flowed all the way to the middle of her back. She was very beautiful and had silky smooth skin, she was kind of pale but not to pale and when the light shone on her she glowed like a star. She also had a very light pink color to her cheeks.
Her eyes where the color of the sea. A lot of times she would get frustrated with her hair because it was so long and would get really tangly but really it was beautiful and she looked even more ethereal when she put it into a fancy hair style. Still it looked breath taking no matter how she did it.
Ever since Mirrawen was real young she had a bunch of suitors just lining up to court her. Sometimes her friends were jealous but naturally they ignored their jealousy because they loved her.
She walked to her mirror starring at the elf she saw. Even though her father was of the royal court she never really had much interaction with the royal family or the palace. Her father got much attention from the ladies and he knew his daughter had the beauty of her mother. So he thought it would be better to keep her away from all the attention because it can sometimes get overwhelming.
Mirrawen was a little on edge because she didn't know what people would think of her plus the fact she didn't know how the people at the palace were. What if she said something wrong or what if she was to unworthy to be there. All the what ifs were driving her crazy.
True she had a pretty luxurious life but not as luxurious as the palace. Even though she had it made she still kind of dreamed of something better. Sometimes even being a princess. She could still remember herself always telling her father " Daddy I'm your little princess right?" And he would always reply " Yes the most beautiful princess in all existence."
She giggled in her mind remembering all those times. Then her thought was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Come in" she hollered.
Mel and Lil came charging in jabbering about how beautiful Mirra was going to look. They were bubbling up with excitement so much they simply could not hold it in. "We found you a dress Mirra!" Lil shouted with excitement. "WHAT!" she said totally surprised.
"When you said you had nothing to wear we went out and bought you a dress fit for a queen" Mel said Pulling the dress out of the box. When she took it out Mirrawen was mesmerized by the beautiful white dress.
It was of silky material and had sparkles all over it had a headdress to go with it as well as a necklace. Mirrawen thought ' this is truly fit for a queen'. " Where did you get such a dress?" Mirrawen almost teary eyed because her friends got her something she knew not how to repay them.
" We have a good friend in town and she's a seamstress and she owed us a favor so we gave her your size and she just went to the back and picked the perfect dress so we just had to buy it!" Mel said as she saw the look on her friend's face and saw how truly happy she was.
" You know I cant except this, where in the world did you get the money for it?" Mirrawen asked as she held it up admiring it. "There's no way you two could have afforded it!"
"That's where your wrong missy, We did have the money and we really want you to go cause in our opinion a ball is not worth going to if our favorite sis in the world doesn't go." Lil said as she went and gave Mirrawen a big hug.
" How can I ever repay you guys? You have been the sweetest girls I've ever known and have been there for me when it meant the most I love you both so much" she said as she started to get teary eyed. "Thank you."
"Enough with all this gushy stuff lets get ready." Lil said as she quickly pulled out all their outfits. They all got quickly dressed and then started doing each other's hair. Mel and Lil put Mirrawen's hair into a big beautiful braid with a couple of tendrils on the side of her face. They wove white lilies into her hair. She looked beautiful and ready for the finest of balls.
When they all were finished they made their way to the palace.
