After a long horrible coma of three years, Pearl was back on her feet to celebrate her 23rd birthday, she was so happy finally seeing her friends and family after three years.

No one could ever believe that a simple fall into a  slope could put Pearl into a three years coma.

After all the years of lost hope, Pearl was back in good health. She has always been that brave red haired girl with sharp blue eyes who never fears anybody, she's also known to be good with swords and fly kicks, she's in general a strong girl.

"I am so happy to see you this strong and happy, Pearl. We literally lost hope of seeing you alive!" Seren said as she styled pearls hair beautifully.

"I know right? I am so happy seeing my lovely besties again, I can't imagine what it'd look like losing you two!" She said in a smile as the three friends hugged warmly.

"It's your first birthday after three years, we will make sure we pimp you real good for the guest to see you, you know?… You will be having lots of friends and fiend's in the party so you gotta be hundred percent good looking" Rosamund said as a smile curved Pearl's lips.
"I am just so lucky to have you girls as friends, thanks so much for supporting me.'' she said, making a puppy face as Rosamund picked the nail polish.
"I am thinking of the color to use for your toenails, seren what do you think?" Rosamund asked as Seren clicked her fingers.
"White will be perfect for Pearl especially as she has giant toe nails" Seren teased as they all laughed.

Pearl could see her parents standing by the corner and whispering stuff, they seemed so uneasy as they talked and made suspicious gestures. Pearl wasn't just concentrating on whatever her parents might be discussing because of her fun dialogue with her friends.

After some minutes, her mom walked in with a smile on her face.

"My baby!You're looking so gorgeous today! I can't wait for the guests to see how lovely you look in your outer cloth, Seren and Rosamund. You girls are doing a great job here, kudos… Just round up quickly, the party starts in a few minutes" her mom said and pecked her cheeks softly.

"Almost done ma'am" Seren and Rosamund said in unison as pearls mom hurried out "your mom looks so happy today!Ever since you left, she has never smiled, I am so happy seeing her this happy!" Seren said  and placed the beautiful hairpin on pearls hair as pearl gently stood up in a smile facing the mirror as she turned, making her gown dance around.

"Your outer cloth looks stunning Pearl" Rosamund said as pearl looked down at the dress.

"I know right?… I love floral clothes and this one suits my red hair perfect" she said as her hands rubbed the gown.

"You'd better start going down to meet the guest, I am sure they are eager to see you" seren said as pearl walked gently out of the room.

I gently walked down the broken Marble made floor with my hand trailing through the rusted iron as I held my gown in order not to fall from the stairs.

I could see how everyone danced happily with glasses of cocktail in their hands, the sound of the music was so loud that I couldn't hear myself.

I finally got to the ball ground as everyone cheered on seeing me. I knew that most of them didn't come to celebrate with me but came to check me out so they could have what to say to the other villagers.

I looked around the bright hall and sighted my parents saying stuff to themselves. I couldn't stop wondering what could be going on, they seemed so disturbed, all I wanted was just to approach them and ask them what the problem was but I held myself back because of the presence of the guest.
