Donna followed Sarah down a hall and into a brightly light room; three girls were sitting in that in front of a bed that had a dress laying across it. One looked up as Donna and Sarah entered the room, she had the longest hair it was the same shade of gray as Sarah's; She smiled warmly at her guests, and embraced Sarah.
"Hello sister, I am glad that you could make it." She turned from Sarah too Donna, and held out her hand. "Hello, Donna I am Ella, Sarah's elder sister by five years. My party is tonight," She lead them to a table, and ushered them to sit down. "Once a year we light the skies with color. And my birthday happens to fall on that day this year." Ella's friends moved around the table to the closet were they proceeded too pick out clothes. "I'm sorry if they seem rude but they need permission to speak in the presence of an outsider. We don't because we're one of the most powerful chieftains around. This is our cousin, Lillian. And my friend Luna." The two girls turned and looked at them at the sound of their names.
Luna stepped forward, and shook Donnas hand. "Pleased to meet you." Sarah cleared her throat. And Luna looked at her and a smile spread across her face, she leaned forward and grabbed Sarah in her arms. "Long time no see little one. I have missed you."
She stepped back and turned back to the dresses.
"They're pretty. Your dresses. They're pretty."
Ella smiled, "That reminds me, we made you one." She walked too the large closet, and pulled a knee length dress out of it. It was sparkling in the pale white light that shone from the sun shaped window at the top of the room.
The straps crossed in the back, and it glowed faintly. Donna gasped. "Its beautiful."
"Okay put it on, I call hair!" And then Donna was pulled in front of a vanity and it begun…
*Back on Earth*
Jack had just walked Alex home, "Come in for a bit. Please?" He nodded.
"ALEX!!! I finally watched it!" A blonde girl stuck her head over the railing above them.
"Watched what?" Alex asked, walking up the stairs and into the living room (or so he guessed, because there was a TV, chairs and a couch)
"Dr. Horrible's song-along-blog!" The girl smiled.
She looked at Jack nodded slightly. "Want some cake?" When he didn't answer. She raised an eyebrow. "Don't like cake? Well fine muffins?" Suddenly she clutched her heart.
"Holy crap. Dr. Fuzzy! You scared me!" A fat pure white cat pawed at her ankle.
Jack chuckled and asked, "Who named the cat?"
"I did. My hamsters name is Doughnut. And the stray catthatIfeedeventhoughAlextellsme nottobecauseitwillgettoattachedandnotleave's name is Slinkey. My names Alyssa by the way." Her green eyes twinkled, and she smiled wider. "If you don't like animals then you should leave now. We have three dogs, four cats, my hamster, and Sam's god awful birds." As if responding to her words, a loud repeating chirping sounded from the other room, and barking from just outside of the kitchen.
"You fed that thing? AND you named it?!" Alex yelled her face turning pink.
"Well not exactly… I kind of took her to the vet today and got her all her shots, and bought her a nametag."
Alex smacked Alyssa on the side of the head.
