'Ooh, try this one and this one' Ella said

Raquelle and her friends were at Gardenia Mall celebrating her birthday. Raquelle had been dragged to nearly every store and right now they were at Forever New.

'Girls please; can we just go get lunch now?' Raquelle asked

'Yeah, in a minute after you try on these clothes' Lucy replied

'But you said that half an hour ago'

'Alright, but just try on the clothes first and then we'll get lunch. I promise' Lucy said

'Ok, but once I'm done I'm putting these back and heading straight to the food court, with or without you guys'

'Oh come on Raquelle you have to buy something. It's your birthday' Ella said

'But what if I don't have enough? You know Mrs. Collingwood doesn't pay us very much for all the work we do for her.'

'We'll all chip in then and then see how much money we have altogether' Lucy said

'No, I couldn't ask you to spend you hard earned money on me just because it's my birthday' Raquelle said

'Well tough, because we're going to, so quit your complaining and choose something already.' Ella said

'What if there isn't something I like here?' Raquelle asked

'Well then we'll go to another store. We're going to every store until you buy something don't you can get out of this girl.' Lucy said

'Hey I thought you wanted to go to lunch. All this time you've been standing here while you could have been trying on those clothes. Stop procrastinating and try them on already' Ella said

'Ok I'll try them on'

Line Break

Miss Faragonda had stepped out of the portal landing in front of the orphanage knocking on the door twice.

Finally the door was opened by a lady who seemed to be in her forties and looked terrible like she hated looking after orphans.

'What do you want, adoption day is on Saturday' Mrs. Collingwood said hoarsely

'I've come to see Ms Raquelle Willis.' Miss Faragonda said

'She isn't here, she out celebrating some birthday with two other girls, come back later'

'I'll wait here until she arrives, thank you' Miss Faragonda was getting annoyed with this woman but didn't show it.

'Fine, come in but don't make yourself at home'

'I don't plan to' Miss Faragonda muttered to herself

Line break

'Raquelle you are so stubborn, you haven't bought from the past stores we've been to. The next store we go to you will buy something and I'll make sure of it.' Lucy said

'But we've been to nearly every store' Raquelle said

'We haven't been to Stylin Shoes yet, so you will buy something from there'

'Ooh, I love that store. They have the cutest heels there, come on let's go' Ella said

At this both Lucy and Raquelle starting laughing

'You are so blonde, Ella' Raquelle said still laughing

'What, just because I'm blonde doesn't mean I can't like shopping' Ella said annoyed

'Come Ella, let's go already so we can be back in time and not get in trouble by Mrs. Collingwood'

'Found anything yet Raquelle?' Lucy asked

'No not yet, but I'm sure something will come if your involved' Raquelle said

'How about these shoes, they're like Cinderella's glass slippers except there not made of glass and they're really sparkly.' Ella asked

'They are nice but we have to afford them remember?' Raquelle said

'Don't worry we can, I've already looked at the price tag'

'Alright then, I'll take them'

'Good, I pay for them and them we can go' Ella said

Line Break

The three girls were walking through the front doors when they were stopped by Mrs. Collingwood.

'Ella, Lucy go upstairs to your rooms. Raquelle come with me'

'Have I done anything wrong Mrs. Collingwood?' Raquelle asked

'No, there is someone here to see you. If you're lucky, she might take you away from here which one less child for me to look after, so don't screw up. Now go into my office, that's where she's waiting'
