Lily sat quietly in the common room reading by the fire as Sadie and Alana walked in.
"Hey Lily! Watcha up to?" Alana asked interested in her best friend life.
"Just reading." Lily replied. Alana leaned over and took the book out of Lily's hand and tossed it on a chair.
"Hey! That was my book that my sister bought me before she married that pig she calls her husband!" Lily said annoyed.
"Whoa calm down!" Alana laughed.
"Well sorry but we have decided you need to have some fun instead of reading all day long! So we are going to give you a make-over then bring you to a special party!" Sadie said excitedly. She pulled Lily to her feet and dragged her over to a chair in front of her mirror.
"Look you don't have a choice. We are doing this whether you like it or not." Alana giggled.
"No! Absolutely not!" Lily said sternly.
"Oh come on it'll be fun!" Alana cheered. Wow I really need to get them boyfriends! Lily thought to herself.
"Why don't you give them to each other and not me? I don't want one anyway!" Lily suggested hoping it would work.
"Oh no," Sadie said. "You need to look perfect for our special party!"
"What's so special about it?" Lily questioned.
"You'll see!" Alana giggled. "This is going to be great!"
Alana and Sadie, otherwise known as the Barbie twins, got to work on Lily who struggled and complained every time they did something. When they were done Lily looked gorgeous.
"You look like a female goddess!" Alana and Sadie said with joy.
"I feel like a dress up doll." Lily groaned.
"Good 'cause it's time for clothes!" Sadie said as she grabbed a purple short dress with lace on the bottom.
"NO!" Lily yelled.
"It's pretty!" Alana said fixing her hair. Lily groaned and struggled as they put the dress on her trying not to mess up her freshly painted nails.
"No Jam….I mean, you, will love it. Look we work hard on this party and we are not taking no for an answer! You are going to this party and you are gonna enjoy it if it kills you." Sadie said sternly acting like her mother.
"Yeah! If it kills you!" Alana echoed. Lily and Sadie stared at her with odd expressions on their faces. "What? I thought it might need an echo for emphasis…" Alana said proudly.
"You guys I love you guys and what your trying to do but really I'm am not that in to parties." Lily said sweetly. Her friends nodded then gave each other a quick glance. She gave her friends a hug then said "Thanks for understanding."
Sadie and Alana looked at each other for a moment then grabbed Lily by the arms and dragged her out of the room and down the hall.
"This is ridiculous!" Lily said as they pulled her to the room of requirement.
"Why are we here?" Lily asked suddenly. "I thought we were supposed to be going to where the party is…not that I care…I'd rarther be reading."
"Oh shut up! This is where your party is!" Sadie announced.
"Oh yeah! Get ready to have fun…for once!" Alana giggled.
"Hey! I heard that!" Lily yelled at her. She couldn't believe how much noise there was from outside the doors. How many people could they have invited? She knew she was popular and knew a lot of people but she didn't think that, that many people would show , this was Sadie and Alana so things were possible.
They opened the door slowly and Lily gasped.
"Waa…What?"
