So many dresses! I hide in the corner, sneaking a pastry or two. The girls all twirl and everybody in the room is happy. I wish I were part of the party.

"Go to bed", Mom says, "Someday it'll be your chance."

" When?" I say, "I want to be a dancer."

"You don't want a prince?"

"Why would I need another boy? Phillippe and Carman are bad enough!"

Mom looks at me in disapproval, "I am sure you will change your mind."

I disagree.

I sit on the stairs, my small face squished between the poles of the banister. Philippe is dancing with a girl. I want to be like that girl someday, dancing with a prince in a beautiful dress. Mother starts towards the stairs with my sister by her side. I'd better run. Little girls aren't supposed to be out of bed and I don't want to get caught.

This is kinda a preview... I know it's short. Thank you for giving my story a try! I'd always love feedback and corrections if you see errors.
