So, first of all, thank you for the reviews. It's quite a few suggestions I got, but I will see if I can make room for them in the story. Second of all, I'm sorry for not writing a new chapter anytime soon, but first I was busy with exams, and then summer break, and Sort of had writers block, but I will see if I can get back to writing now.

Now onto the chapter.

Chapter 8: Fashion Show

Today was Saturday, and Spinelli knew what that meant; Fashion show. She still wasn't sure on how she felt about going to a Fashion show. On one hand, she was thrilled to just be out of the house, because the last week had been one of the most boring ones she had ever experienced. But on the other hand, they were doing something, she still had no interest in. She just had to get through the summer, and then she could go back to doing what she wanted, though that was easier said than done, what with Ashley A on her back, and none of her friends had called, even if they didn't know what she was doing this summer. She was in a way glad that everyone else she knew, was away this summer, just so no one could see her looking like an Ashley.

Though Ashley A was still trying to convince Spinelli to join the Ashleys, albeit in a subtle way, as to not force her into anything, because that wouldn't lead to anything. It had to be Spinelli choosing it on her own. So far, nothing had worked. Sure, she continued to teach Spinelli all the things that was important to be an Ashley, the tomboy just had no interest in it, but did as she was taught, because she had no other choice.

So, Ashley A was busy finding outfits for them to wear, to the fashion show. She decided on a white skirt with a pink flowery top for herself, with pink wedges, and of course a white headband. For Spinelli, she chose a red floral skirt, with a blue blouse, a blue flat, and a red headband. She then proceeded to do Spinelli's hair and makeup, after she had done her own.

When doing Spinelli's hair, she asked the brunette. "So, Ashley S, aren't you, like, super excited for today. We're, like, finally doing something today. We're, like, actually going out today."

"Uh yearh sure" Spinelli answered with uncertainty in her voice.

"Oh, don't you, like, worry. You're, like, so going to love the fashion show, and maybe we'll meet some super cool people. You know, mommy and I, we do this every year. All the other years, the other Ashleys and their moms have joined us, but they went on trips this year, but they will be back, before summer ends. ooh maybe next year, the five of us can do this together."

"maybe" Spinelli said, not wanting to start a fight with Ashley knowing that, the blonde had a very hot curling iron in Spinelli's hair. Plus, the fact that Spinelli was kind of helpless these days. God, she hated having a broken leg. Every day, Ashley A would teach her how to apply makeup and how to do her hair. She could swear that the blonde was enjoying this a little too much, as if Spinelli was a doll.

Ashley A had to admit, that having Spinelli all too herself was just too much fun. Not only was this a way for her to get back at the brunette for all these years of torture, she put the Ashleys through. But she also saw potential in the tomboy, with the right structure of course. Plus, she loved dressing up Spinelli as her own personal doll. She knew, that by end of the summer, Spinelli would be an Ashley. She knew that if she didn't get anywhere by Friday, then she had a backup plan.

Soon enough the girls went down to have breakfast, with breakfast being the same as usual, with Ashley A's parents waiting for them, for breakfast to begin.

As they were eating breakfast, Ashley A's mom began to speak. "so, girls, are you excited about the fashion show."

"Of course, we are mom. Aren't we Ashley S." Ashley A answered for the both of them, looking at Spinelli.

"Yearh sure, of course." Spinelli quickly answered with the best lie she could, as she didn't want it to seem like she didn't appreciate what they were doing for her.

Soon enough, breakfast ended, and all three of them got into the car, and started driving. The drive was long, and Ashley A kept reading a fashion magazine to Spinelli. Everything, she felt the brunette should know.

The drive had been long, but after a while, they finally arrived at the place where the show was being held. Spinelli could tell that it was a big deal, since there was many people there. Eventually they found their seats, before the show started.

Spinelli had no interest in the show, but Ashley A kept her updated every time a new model would walk onto the stage. It was very clear that this was something that the blonde was very interested in and kept on informing the tomboy about every detail regarding the show.

Eventually the show was over, and Ashley A's mom decided that they should find a restaurant and get some lunch, before heading home. It was the second time, that Spinelli was eating out, since she came to live with the Armbrusters for the summer. Ashley A gave Spinelli a look that said, that she should order the salat and water, to keep up with her diet. So, they found a restaurant and got some lunch.

Spinelli could sense that she was being watched a studied all throughout lunch. It made her feel uncomfortable and not at all like herself, but more like something on display, like she was a doll, that Ashley A could play with. And she couldn't even say anything about it, because she had promised her mom that she wouldn't cause problems, and she couldn't do anything with her leg still in a cast, so she just did her best to behave.

After lunch, they drove back to town and to the mansion, just in time for Ashley A to continue to teach Spinelli table manners, and then they could have tea afterwards.

While Spinelli was busy remembering all the things that she was being taught, the phone started to ring, and Ashley A went over to answer it. "Hello Armbruster resident."

"Oh, hello Ashley, this is Flo speaking."

"Oh hello Mrs. Spinelli, how is your vacation so far"

"Oh, so far it's good, it's nice that we get some time together just Mr. Spinelli and me, though it's a shame that our Ashley isn't here to see it."

"Oh, that's nice to hear Mrs. Spinelli, and don't worry, Ashley S and I are just having so much fun, that she doesn't have time to be sad about missing your trip, and well take her to her doctor's appointments."

"Well that's certainly good to hear, that you girls are having so much fun. So, what have you girls been up to, this week."

"Well we went to go see a fashion show today, and I been teaching her some table manners, and taught her how to apply makeup and do her hair, oh and I got her a necklace as a gift. It's just so much fun, and she hasn't said anything, but I know that she has enjoyed it."

"Well i'm glad, that you girls have so much to do, and has so much fun together. I'm really glad that she has you to help her."

"Of course, it's what i'm here for, and remember Ashley S can stay here all summer. In fact, it would be so much fun."

"Well we can see check again in a few weeks, but as long as you girls are having so much fun, then I suppose she could stay here, as long as it's not a problem for you and your family."

"It's totally not a problem, but like you said, we can talk some more by Friday. By the way, did you want to talk to Ashley S."

"Oh, that would be nice, could you put her on please?"

"Of course."

And with that, Ashley A took the phone and gave it to Spinelli, while she said. "Oh, your mom wants to talk to you, she wants to hear how you're doing and what you been doing."

Spinelli then picked up the phone and said. "hello"

"Hi Pookie." Her mom answeredfrom the other line.

"Hi mom, where's dad."

"Oh, he's in the bathroom, we agreed that I would be the one to talk to you. So, how's your leg."

"It doesn't hurt so much anymore, but I have a doctor's appointment this Friday"

"That's good honey. So, how are they treating you. Are they taking good care of you."

"Well yearh, but mom when are you coming home."

"well the original plan was to come home after 6 weeks, but since you're in such good hands, and we have some extra money, now that you're not coming with us, so we decided to extend it, to at least 2 weeks more, if not more. Besides from what we hear, you girls are having so much fun, and I believe that this is good for you, to spend some time with your friend. But we can talk some more after your appointment this Friday."

"But mom." Spinelli whined.

"No buts, young lady, we had a deal. No complaining. Especially when they were so nice to take you in this summer. Now as long as they treat you right, and you girls have so much fun, then you can stay as long as they offer. Now I'll tell your father you said hi."

And with that the phone call ended, and Ashley A put it back in it's place. She went back to Spinelli and started talking. "You know Ashley S, I was, like, really impressed today. You know when we went out for lunch."

"Wait really." Spinelli asked.

"Of course, you know as long as you listen to me, then you'll have total control over your table manners in a matter of weeks."

"Oh okay."

Ashley A could sense that she was close to reaching a breakthrough in the tomboy, but knew that the brunette was stubborn, so if she hadn't gotten anywhere by Friday, then she would have to pull her backup plan into action.

Next chapter: Spinelli's doctor's appointment, and Ashley A's backup plan is revealed.
