"Come on! Mary-Anne! We're getting late!" said Sharon from downstairs.

"Wait! Coming!" I shouted softly. I quickly put on a pair of blue earrings that hung to my shoulder. My hair was neatly combed, in layers. (Yes my dad let me get layers! Woohoo!). Also I had dark blue jeans, with a cute tank top, with a light blue sweater.

I dashed downstairs.

"How do I look?" I asked Dad.

"Wonderful. Let's go." Said Dad. He obviously didn't care!

"You look pretty." Said Sharon.

"Thanks. I can't wait to see Dawn." I said.

"Me too." Said Sharon. "Come on! We'll be late!"

We quickly ran to the car. I sat down, playing with a strand of hair which was a little bit under my shoulder. It was jet black, and silky.

To tell you the truth, I was kind of nervous. I mean, what if she changed? I hadn't seen her in like 2 years!

When we got there, we stood there, until we saw Sunshine coming off the plane.

At first when she came, we just stood there, amazed that she was Dawn, but she was. She had the same look, same deep blue eyes.

But she was really different. She had a lot of make up, tighter clothes, and looked like a teenager. Her silky blond hair was down, and was cut. Last time I saw her, it was 6 inches above her hip, but now it was a little bit underneath her shoulder.

"M-Mary Anne?" she asked. Tears sprang in her eyes. Same thing here.

"Dawn!" I screamed. We ran into each other's arms. We stayed like that for at least five minutes.

"Dawn?" said Sharon. We looked up to see Sharon with tears in her eyes. "Do you still remember me?" she asked, more tears rolling down her cheek.

Aww this was so sad! "Yes mom! Sorry!" said Dawn she hugged Sharon tight. They stayed like that for 5 minutes as well.

Than Dawn hugged Richard quickly. She wiped her tears and smiled. Her make up was smeared.

Dawn was wearing tight dark blue denim jeans. She had a white shirt, which was just above her jeans. On top of that she had the cutest denim jacket. She was holding a black purse.

"Lets go." Said Sharon. Everyone climbed into the car.

"So, what's up?" asked Dawn, smiling.

"Nothing you?" I asked.

"Nothing." She opened her purse and took out a piece of gum. "Want some?" she asked. She held the piece for me, and I saw she had white fake nails.

"Sure. Thanks." I took the piece and pooped it in my mouth.

"Man I soo miss Stoneybrook!" said Dawn cheerfully.

"Good! I thought you forgot us!" I said, smiling.

"Yea! Sure! I'm just going to erase you guys." She rolled her eyes and laughed.

"What? What's so funny?"

"Nothing. I just felt like laughing." she smiled. "Or maybe it was you face!" she grinned.

"Very funny!" I said. We laughed together. Man I missed these times.

"So when Stacey's mom is's wedding?" she asked.

"In 4 days…yea four more days! We have a lot to do."

"Oh cool. I can't wait to attend an organized meeting of the BSC." She rolled her eyes.

"I know. They're so much more organized." I rolled my eyes.

We kept on talking, until we reached the house. There stood the BSC, underneath the sign "Welcome back Dawn"

"Ehmagosh!" said Dawn. I turned around. That was a new term from her. (A/N: I Know that that's a "grammar error" so don't even bother reminding me.)

Dawn hopped out of the car with her purse.

"Heyyy guys!" she hugged each person, on by one.

"Dawn!" they all cheered.

I climbed out slowly. Man Dawn was changed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night, Dawn unpacked her suit cases in her room. She than took a shower. Her natural silky hair was wavy, once she blowed dried them. She had on cute pajamas and her face was free with makeup. She looked like Dawn.

"Hey Dawn! Hurry up! I set the game up!" I said as I took out the dice. We were playing Clue.

"Coming!" she called from her room.

"Okay." I said. Than I sat and waited. After 2 minutes she came, all ready, hair blow dried, no makeup, and she looked like herself again.

"Come on." She smiled. "Lets get going baby!" she laughed.

"Very funny." I said.

"Okay sorry!" she smiled.

"Okay Okay whatever." I rolled my eyes as I flopped my hair behind my shoulder.

We started playing the game. The object of the game is to find out what was in the confidential.

She won. "Yippeee!" she said.

"Good game." I replied.

"You too! All though you're a loser!" she grinned.

"whatever!" I answered. Than we both laughed.

Than we just sat and talked and talked. Dawn was totally different. She was more teenager-ish …if there's a word called that! (A/N: I know it's a grammar error.)

She went out with more boys, loved makeup, clothes, purses, hair, and much more.

"Cool." I said. I smiled a tiny smile. She was so different.

Than we decided to go to sleep. I was going into the bathroom to brush my teeth when I saw Dawn on the phone. She didn't see me there so I spied on her.

"Heyy! What's up Sunny?" she said, excited.

"Uh huh….Ehmagosh! I sooo miss you too! Really? What did she say?...Oh my gosh!...Ooooo! I can't believe it! She is like not that type…more the normal casual type…I cant believe it! Like oh my gosh! Sorry I say that soo many times!...Who my stepsister? Oh her name is Mary anne! You forgot already?...You're right…I forgot her for a long time too…...of course not…she's my sister!...yea…she's pretty…prettier!...No…not that much make up… no she's not my best friend…sisters can't ever be best friends…YOU!

I wish I were in California! MWAHZ!...Hanging up now…you first…no…Fine! Latah!" She put the phone down.

I felt a sudden pain in my heart. I could repeat the words over and over again. "no she's not my best friend…sisters can't ever be best friends…YOU! God! But she thinks I am her best friend….so I have to play along…or she cries!"

Tears ran like motorcycles down my cheeks. I ran into my room and slammed the door, locking it.

"I hate Dawn!" I screamed. "I HATE her!" I started sobbing and sobbing. I picked up the phone, and called my real best friend, Kristy and filled her on the depressing news.
