Chapter 3
Ahiru ran back to the dormitory and ran to Rue's room. She looked around franticly as she tried to prepare things.
"ahiru. You disappoint me so much." Rue's soft voice said. Ahiru froze. She turned and saw already sitting at a table. Her food alredy there.
"I'm sorry miss Rue. I'll try to do better!" Rue stood up and walked to her.
"You are so lucky that I'm in a good mood. Otherwise I would have you thrown into the streets." Ahiru looked down. A thought came to her.
"Do you know that there is a ball coming up?" Rue stopped and looked at her.
"where did you hear that little duckling?" she said suddenly sweet.
"I accedentaly ran into the prince's page today. He told me. Any girl can come." Rue started to get really excited.
"when is it?" she asked
"in a couple days." Rue was so excited. "the prince will have to pick a bride there." This sent rue overboard.
"this is so amazing!" She said getting up and running to her closet after a minute she sighed in frustration. "I have nothing to wear!" She turned to Ahiru. She gripped Ahiru's arm tightly and walked out of the building dragging poor Ahiru with her. She made her way to the clothing shop that was getting all the best dresses out. The young man running the store had purple hair and stood with his back straight. He looked very princely.
"Femio!" Rue said finally letting go of Ahiru. The young man, Femio, looked up and smiled.
"Why my beautiful madamsiel. How my I help you?"
"I need a ball gown." Femio bowed and ran back. He soon returned with man beautiful dresses. The first he held up was a Pink gown that would be a beautiful ball room dance. Rue rejected it right away. Next he held up a red leotard with a small skirt. Rue rolled her eyes and brused it asaid. The young man held up another. Ahiru couldn't help but be amazed by it. It was a beautiful white tutu with a pink under tutu. On the back where soft gold wings. It came with a beautiful necklace of red and yellow wings. Rue looked at it. "no. I need something more… me." Femio set the dresses aside and ran back.
"Rue that is a beautiful dress." Rue glared at her.
"I don't like it." Femio came back with a black tutu that looked like raven feathers. Rue smiled. "Perfect."
