Michaela was so excited with her new cloths that she couldn't wait to get home and put on a fashion show for Mark and she couldn't wait to fill up her drawers and closet and get rid of the many cloths that did not fit or were tattered from when she lived at her Aunts house. As she was driving home with Lu she chattered on and on and kept thanking her cousin for being so kind and how she wished she could repay her.

"Lu I'm so happy that you let me do this isn't there anything that I can do for you to thank you."

"Your thanks are enough for me but if you really want to do something to thank me when you start school in a few days make sure that you work hard and you do your best and that can be payment for the things I gave you is that a deal."

"Yeah that sounds fair I can't wait to show Mark all my new cloths do you think he'll like them?"

"Yes I think he'll like them a lot, and that was a smart idea you had when we were in the store to get him that shirt and hat I know he'll love it."

As they got home Michaela ran up the stairs and bounded for the door Lu laughed to herself and thought that this is not the same quiet and scared little girl they had first met and she was glad of that too. She would rather have a child that was happy and loud then a meek and solace girl.

"Mark come look at all the things we have bought and look at what we have for you I think your going to love it, don't you think so Lu?"

"Yes I know he will."

"Ok let me see what did you get and most important what did you get me?"

Even though Mike had only been with the family for a couple of days Mark was liking having a "little sister" so to speak. They got on well even for the difference in there age and Mike to was happy to have a playmate.

"Ok so what do you want to see first the dresses or the pants and stuff?"

"How about you try on the dresses first and then you can do your fall attire later."

Michaela showed everything that she got it took an hour but nobody minded they were so glad that she was happy and comfortable....... Later that week Lu enrolled Michaela into school at first she was a little scared but once she got into the routine and made friends things went smoothly and Lu was glad of that she hoped there would be no problems down the line.

To be continued.... I will try to update in a week or so please be patient
