"C'mon Merli. This time everything will be perfect. 2nd times the charm" I said to myself, looking into the mirror. We are having my birthday party here at home, and allot of kids have been invited. I put on some lipstick. I want to look perfect and extra special. I want this party to be just perfect. I put on Mommy's high heals. They are a bit big on me, but they are pretty. I'm ready. Tonight I'm the princess, and I am going to go make a grand entrance.
I float down the stairs trying to keep my big shoes on. How does Mommy do it? All over the place were ribbons, balloons and paper butterflies. I really love butterflies. Soon, I finally reached the party, standing on the final case of stairs. Looking down, I see that the party has already started without me. The kids were in a crowd, surrounding Lapis and a big box of party favors. Mommy and Daddy helped us make them. It was allot of fun. Using just a little bit of pixie dust, Lapis made a few of the favors float in the air. All the other kids were cheering. I started striking poses and looking beautiful. I really did. But no one noticed me.
"These party favors are the coolest!" one of the kids said before blowing into the party favor.
"Awesome! We should get these" another kid said.
"I helped make them! And you want to stay for cake, right?" Lapis then said, taking all the credit before holding up a plate. All the kids cheered.
"Your the greatest Lapis. Both at singing, and at making part favors!"
"Who needs the Birthday girl when you have the Birthday Girl's amazing little sister!?" one last kid said.
I started to cry at that. With just a little bit of pixie dust, I floated off the ground and then quickly flew back to my room. I threw myself onto my bed, crying like the little baby I am. Worst. Birthday. Ever.
Ok I admit. I kinda sorta ripped this chapter off of a My Little Pony episode. Hey, I thought it worked perfectly, k? Anyways, next time we'll get a look at the young sisters interacting with each other more directly, instead of having Lapis indadvertedly ruin Merli's birthday party again. Also, if you want more Lapis time, check out her side of the story, titled "It Was Written in Stone~Lapis Lazuli". I know at this point they don't look like the same story, but trust me. Give it time. And no, I won't be writing their childhood through Lapis' eyes. Why? Because those memories have been lost. They do not exist anymore.
