Hey mates, so I felt sort of guilty for letting you guys wait for SO long so here's another chapter, that is, number 5.
When Daphne finally descended the long rows of stairs, she entered her luxuriously glamorous living room decorated with all sorts of souvenirs her mother used to get on her long trips to Paris. "Talk about Paris, isn't that where she's coming from now?" thought Daphne to herself, the reason her mother had called her still remained a mystery, but Daphne guessed that it wouldn't be one for long. A soft clearing of throat brought Daphne back to the present and she focused on whatever her mother was going to say.
"Daphne, the reason that I have-"started Mrs. Blake.
"Called me up here is to lecture me about not using the computer too much." Finished Daphne. Clara Blake eyed her I-have-too-much-guts-for-my-age daughter who was without a doubt going to show off her guts more than ever in the next minutes.
"No" stated Mrs. Blake flatly.
"You are disinheriting me? , I'm adopted?, You are going to sell me into white slavery? Or do you just want to have a mother to daughter talk?" continued Daphne cheekily, her eyes twinkling with malice, but that was it, other than her eyes nothing would have given her in, she had used a serious tone and her face was as severe as an army officer.
"Daphne Jessica Eleanor Blake! Will you let me talk now? And really, since you're an only child to your father and I, we couldn't disinherit you, even if we really want to sometimes. As for being adopted, no person with good eyes would say that, you take after me too much. You are far too ignorant of household chores to become a slave and finally the reason I called you, dearest daughter of mine is to show you...something I have brought for you." Threw Mrs. Blake in her daughter's face, it was good to talk to the youth this way. It made one feel powerful.
"MOM! Don't call me Eleanor! Shaggy's upstairs!" urged Daphne.
"ELEANOR! COME HERE MY DARLING DAUGHTER!" said the mistress of the house in a louder-than-needed tone. Daphne rolled her eyes, despite the lady-like appearance, her mom really acted like a kid sometimes. Daphne could have betted that if her mom was a little bit wilder, she would have smirked evilly. A goofy, laughing sound was heard distantly and Daphne instantly knew it was Shaggy.
"NORVILLE SAMSON ROGERS!" shouted Daphne and the laughing disappeared miraculously.
"So, if you're done fooling around" started Daphne's mother, "Perhaps, you could take a look at...This" and with a grand movement, she moved to the right, revealing what seemed to Daphne, one of the seven wonders of the world.
She was shocked, a little more and she would have drooled. This had to be the most beautiful prom dress ever! It was a strapless purple gown and it looked like it was stuffed with fabrics so it turned out to be puffy and up to the ankle length. It looked soft to the touch and was totally I-am-a-princess style. Daphne really wanted to touch the dress to make sure it was real but she had to do something before. Daphne just threw herself at her mother and both Blakes started shrieking.
"Of course, there are the shoes and the little earrings and a tiny necklace, so it won't look bulky, come on, take it off that oversize doll, it'll look lovely on you." Said Mrs. Blake.
Daphne gathered all her courage to say no, because she wanted to wear it the day of prom itself for the first time and she said she didn't have to bother about the size because she knew it was custom made.
Thanking her mother more than needed, Daphne quickly ran up the stairs to tell Shaggy of whatever had just happened. She felt ecstatic, she had someone to go to prom with, she had a dress, the most wonderful one and life was beautiful.
As she came to her room, she heard Shaggy talking, he was probably on the phone and she could hear bits and pieces of the conversation.
"Okay Velma, see you on _,_ at _ am, so we can discuss that _ issue, yeah okay, okay, bye and thanks."
Daphne quickly entered her room and with questioning eyes said "Velma huh? Got your eyes on her? Hey Shaggy, wink wink" said Daphne before laughing out loud and telling him everything about the dress but in her precipitation, she forgot to mention her date.
