Laura B.: Yeah, thanks. It was typed on a phone. :(
Anyway, read on and PLEASE review. :)
Daphne's birthday, anytime, anywhere.
"SABRINA! SABRINA!" Daphne yelled as she pounded up the hall from her room to Sabrina's.
Sabrina just groaned in bed, not even flinching as her sister pounded on her door.
"Sabrina!" Daphne yelled. At last, her door was thrown open.
"What-how- it was locked!" Sabrina sputtered, bolting up and brushing imaginary dust off of her dark blue sweatshirt and navy short shorts.
Daphne smirked and threw a bobby pin over her shoulder into the hall. "Granny Relda taught me a few tricks."
"Ughh.." Sabrina groaned. Curse bobby pins.
"So….." Daphne said, leaning towards her sister.
It was then Sabrina realized Daphne was wearing a laughably ridiculous outfit.
Her hair was wound up into a beehive and scarves and fake jewels jutted out of it. Heavy fake sapphires and jades covered her chest. A hot pink tank top screamed from behind the jewels. A neon green skirt covered Daphne's thighs. Purple stocking covered her legs. Black heels made Daphne nearly as tall as Sabrina. Dozens of bracelets and rings covered her hands, making it hard to find skin. And Sabrina didn't even want to start describing her makeup.
"What the heck?!" Sabrina gasped.
"So….. What's today?" Daphne pressed.
" I dunno!" Sabrina gaped, staring.
"It's my birthday!"
"What? You idiot. Your birthday is in December!" Sabrina said.
"I can't believe you forgot!" Daphne pouted, "It's my half birthday!" Cheering up almost instantly, she hopped onto Sabrina's bed and Sabrina scooted away.
"And it's Gypsy Day! I birthday's on a holiday!" She squealed, giving lame jazz hands as Sabrina laughed.
"What's so funny?"
Sabrina got up from bed, and shooing Daphne off, folded the blankets and set the pillows. "Well," Sabrina began without answering the ten year olds question, "Are we going to celebrate?"
The fourteen year old opened her closet and began to slip the hangers this way and that, looking for something to wear.
"Of course!" Daphne giggled, "Too bad Mom and Dad aren't here."
"It's okay Daph. I'm here, Basil's here. Uncle Jake is here. Red's here. Pinocchio is here." Clearing her throat with distaste, she finished, "And unfortunately, Puck is also here."
Daphne laughed. "Yup, you're right. Gotta go put up gypsy decorations! Remember to fetch your outfit from my room!" Daphne called and rushed out the door.
"Oh no." Sabrina moaned.
Sabrina groaned as she stared at the monstrous outfit. It was red leggings with a poofy purple tutu much like Daphne's with a yellow shirt with pink flowers all over it. A piece of paper with a how-to-attach- hair-extensions step by step procedure was paired with a bag of the hair pieces. Red framed glasses with yellow glass sat on top.
"How is this gypsy?!" She asked no one in particular and Daphne hopped in. "See I'm right on time. Go put that on, I'll help you with the hair and makeup. Everybody else didn't wanna do it. So I told them they didn't need to and came to you, but I'll blackmail them into doing after I finish you." She said in an offhanded manner and shoved Sabrina into the bathroom.
Sabrina finished dressing and she walked into the bedroom, and in ten seconds flat, hair extensions trailed behind her and her face had stripes of the rainbow colors across it. "Daphne," She sighed, "I'll do the makeup." Wiping her streaked face clean, she did modest makeup. But it didn't help even a bit, for the red and yellow glasses obscured and ruined it all.
Sighing, she sat down on the bed while Daphne inspected her. "Perfect!" She chimed. "See you soon!" She said, and before she could protest, and door, slammed in Sabrina's face and she heard a click.
"No!" Sabrina yelled, but it was too late. Sabrina tugged on the door, she tried slamming through it. Then she finally looked for bobby pins.
Grabbing a particularly long one, she set to work on the door. "How….. Does…. She…. Do…. This?" Sabrina grunted, and then the door fell open and Sabrina, surprised, fell right through it.
"I did it!" She rejoiced and she noticed to was not her at all, but Daphne who had opened the door.
"Oh." She blanked, and Daphne helped her up.
"I's time to party!" Daphne squealed, and she pulled Sabrina to the living room. It looked like a circus. Pinocchio was wearing a black tee and a pair of neon yellow overalls with a straw hat and pink shoes. Uncle Jake was wearing baggy Green pants and a red and yellow camouflage ski jacket with a blue baseball cap and a pink scarf. he was sweating immensely and between pants, he greeted Sabrina rather remorsefully. Red was wearing a white dress that with her thin figure, pale skin, and dark hair, made her look like a ghost. Flower hairclips bunched up her hair in different places and hoops hung from her ears. Puck, however, was a total sight for sore eyes, Sabrina thought, nearly laughing her face off. Daphne had forced Puck to wear a wig, and his hair was really long now, down to his waist in hippie style. It was all aqua at the top, turning to red, and the tips were dark brown, and it was all braided. His entire face was nearly covered with big red sunglasses with ducks all over them. He wasn't wearing a shirt, just a small unbuttoned vest and dark brown pants. Black boots were o his feet. And finally, a black bandana rounded his head. He was in what looked like a magical…. Cage. Probably to keep him from running away, Sabrina thought. As far as The half birthday and holiday went, nobody looked anything like those enchanting gypsies. But oh well, Sabrina thought, we might have ended up worse.
Daphne brought out the cake with Red, a lopsided thing that looked like….. Anything but a cake. They sang while grumbling, even Red. Pinocchio nearly snuck out at one point, but Daphne tossed him in with Puck as they continued with festivities. Sabrina prayed to herself that Daphne would grow out of Half-birthdays by the next year.
Yeah, it's short, but thanks for reading. PLEASE REVIEW, I BEG YOU!
