Midnight

Ah, it was finally Halloween night and Carmelita had finished her chores and was getting dressed. She couldn't help but think about the young man who had paid for her costume. The young fox couldn't get his picture out of her head. She hummed happily while she put on the last piece of her costume, the mask that hid her idenity.

Clhoe and Clara waited on the porch for their limo to pick them up and take them to the party. Mrs. Clirtew stood with her daughters. "The driver was supposed to be here two minutes ago. Two minutes ago!" She was a little on edge. As she calmed down the limo arrived only minutes later. Clara and Clhoe got in the back seats of the silver streatch limo.

Carmelita saw the limo pull up and rushed outside before it left. She went running and made it just in time before the back door closed. "Wait, wait for me, I am here." She annouced to three disgusted looking minks. "I have finished my chores and have a suitable costume." Carmelita was almost out of breath.

Her step mother looked her over. "So you have." Carmelita raised her hopes. Her two step sisters stepped out the limo. "Oh, my Carmelita." Her step mother gasped pointing to a stray string coming off her jacket. Clhoe and Clara caught the drift.

"Huh?" Carmelita looked at a string that was hanging loose. "Oh, yah. I can just pull it out." Carmelita reached to her shoulder to pull out the string but her step mother stopped her.

Clirtew grasped Carmelitas paw. "Don't worry about that Carmelita." Clhoe and Clara aproached her.

"Yah dear sister." Clara inspected the string. "You should worry about this..." Clara dug her nails into the sleeve of the jacket and ripped it off.

Clhoe joined in. She tore the other sleeve off then the two went to work on her jeans. They shreaded the pockets off leaving Carmleita with a broken out fit. Carmelita understood why the did what they had done. She felt betrayed and lied to.

"Oh, my dear Carmelita." Clirtew had an cold, hard look on her face. "The costume is unexceptable." Carmelita stood still. She watched her step family get into the limo and head off to the party. Tears streamed down her amber cheeks. She ran to the back yard and sat next to the pool. The vixen saw her reflection in the water. She could see the damage to it, she couldn't fix it, she couldn't go to the party. Carmelita sat next to the pool crying her pains away.

"Murry the geusts are starting to arrive." Bently was dressed as a chemist, he wore a white trench coat.

Murry, of course, was a race car driver. He was wearing gloves, a helmet, and a scarf. "Yah, I noticed. Where's Sly at?"

"I was just about to ask you." Bently stood at the front door to greet the guest as they arrived. "Sly what are you doing?" Sly had just walk in the front door as if he was a guest. "And why aren't you in you costume?" Sly was still wearing his theif outfit.

"One, I felt like it and two, I didn't find a costume I like so I came as a theif." Murry just gazed at Sly.

"But Sly aren't already a thief?" Murry questioned Sly, Bently was still greating guest.

"Yah, I liked being a theif so much that I decided..." Poor Sly was cut off. Three minks had just walked in the enterance. Two of those minks threw themselves on Sly. "Murry." Sly was gasping for air.

Murry nodded his head. He knew what Sly was thinking. The hippo picked the two girls off of Sly. He set them down on the ground.

"Hi, my name is Clara." The girl in the witch hat said. She was pushed out of the way.

"My name is Clhoe." She also dressed as a witch.

Sly slightly waved at them. They were the ugliest two minks he had ever seen and the witch make-up was flattering them at all. He dove into the crowd of people to get away from the girls. Sly walked to the top of the stairs and looked out into the crowd searching for a particular fox.

Carmelita pulled her self together. She wiped off her tears and straightened her self up. The pretty fox was going to head bacak in side but she saw a star that was falling from the sky. It landed infront of Carmelita. The strange orb of white light began to take form. Carmelita fell to the ground and back up against the wall. The light now was a beautiful raccoon wearing a form fitting silk, sky blue dress.

"Don't be affraid." She spoke and held out her hand to help the little fox on the ground. "I am Lilly." She proclaimed waving her wand.

"What do you want?" Carmelita was a little shaken. She ahd never seen any thing like this before except for in the movies.

"I am you fairy god mother here to help you in your time of need." Lily had a sweet, mother like voice.

"My time of need?" She didn't get why the fairy was there.

"Yes. I know how much you wanted to go to this party and see that boy again." Carmelita blushed.

"Yah, I did but my stupid step sisters ruined my costume, plus I have no way of getting there any way." Carmelita felt she could confide in the fairy.

"I will help you." She gave a wave of her wand and Carmelitas' costume began to repair itself. In a few seconds it was as good as new.

"Wait. This is not my original costume and this shock pistol is REAL!" Carmelita almost squelled from all the excitement.

Lily noded. "Yes you are correct. This is not the same costume. Your outfit is composed of only the best designer clothes." When Carmelita heard she was wearing designer clothes she actually squelled. "Now." She waved her wand again at a old, rusted Catalac in the back yard. It turned into a top of the line Lincoln brand limo. The limo was Carm's favorite color, scarlet. "This will get you there and back." Carmelita looked inside her ride. It came complete with a driver. "But," Carmelita turned and faced the fairy.

"Theres a but?" Carmelitas hopes were shot back down, nothing new to her.

"Yes. My magic will only last for so long." Lily rushed her words.

"How long will it last?" Carmelita was feeling just a little bit better.

"Till midnight." Carmelita felt good at hearing those words.

The fox turned around to read the clock on the house. "It's only like...ten forty. Ah man, how long have we been talking." She only had a hour and forty minutes. The fox got in the limo. "Thank you fairy god mother but I must be going now." Lily gave her a nod then the car started up and Carmelita was headed to the party.
