Sorry for the short chapter, will post next chapter soon! Thanks for following and may you find a ladybug and stay clear of black cats!

As soon as Chloe got home, I heard her screaming at the top of her lungs. I swiftly climbed down the stairs and ran down the stairs. "What's the matter?" I said trying to soothe my hard breathing and pounding heart. "The prince! He's having a ball! He is looking for the maiden of his dreams!" She screamed. I winced trying to keep my sense of hearing.

A ball? I've never been to one of those! I wonder what they are like. I thought to myself. "Who is invited to the ball?" I asked in a polite manner. "Everyone, well of course he will be looking for a maiden, not a man." She giggled. "But you, need to make me a dress. I know you are good with that stuff." Chloe said admiring her nails. "Well of course, Chloe. I can do that for you." I said while thinking elsewhere.

The ball. What a magnificent idea! I can get rid of all the stress of work by going to the ball. Oh, dancing all night in the beautifully lit ballroom. Spinning in circles staring up at the acrylic-covered ceiling. But wait. I can't let the prince see me like this, even though I would never have a chance. It would be disrespectful. I would need to come up with something. I have it! My mother's old party dress!

I quickly ran up the stairs thinking of all the possibilities I could do with the dress. I can't wait for the occasion.
