The sunset view through the window filled the room with yellow and orange colors. It was the night of the party and meg was very excited its all she would talk about all day, How she was so excited for all the dancing, talking, and splendid things she was planning to do. I didnt mind the talking I actually really like to listen to my sisters talk, I guess there's something comforting about it.
"Ow.." I hear meg say as she moves her leg away. I was helping her fix a hole at the bottom of her dress, I must've pricked her with my needle .
"I'm sorry but maybe if you weren't moving so much I wouldn't poke you." I Reply jokingly as Run my needle through the velvet threads
" I know I'm sorry I'm just excited... and nervous." She mumbled
I looked up with a very confused look " Nervous? Why would you be nervous you've been wanting to go to a party like this since we were kids." I got up and walked to the window to put away my things into my desk.
Meg groaned and followed me " I know I just think its nerves I mean I know how to talk , laugh, and enter or leave a conversation politely, I know everything there is to be at a party like this, but I feel like when i actually get there its all gonna come out wrong."
I turned to look at her " Meg trust me ok you'll be ok, just think of it like acting."
"hmm i didnt think of it like that maybe ill be ok after all." she shrugged
"I know you will be great, besides there's gonna be great stuff at the party dancing, food, and well you know cute boys." I say jokingly
we both laugh softly when we heard a knock. It was jo, she was leaning in the door frame with a strange metal gadget in her hand.
"Jo what is in your hand?" We both question her
"Well Meg said she wanted me to curl her hair and this apparently is a curling iron so are we gonna use it." She explained
"Oh ok lets go I don't want to be late to the party" Meg says excitingly and jumps up and starts to walk to Jos room in the attic.
I Start following them up the stairs. "Jo are you sure you know what your doing I mean that thing looks complicated to use."
"Yes Y/n I'm sure everything will be fine." Jo reassured us
At this point we where in Jo's room Beth and Amy were sitting on the bed and jo sat meg down in a chair in front of her desk. the first few curls were good so far.
~~~~~~~ . . . ~~~~~~~
A few minutes have gone by and Amy was standing in front of a mirror fixing her bangs
"Why cant we all go to the party? " Amy whined "Its not fair." She continued.
"Amy you know even you were invited Marmee wouldn't allow you to go, your far to young." I say as I Brush Beth's hair.
"Just wear your normal shoes." Jo suggested
"But these fit just last winter." Meg mumbled as she stuggled to put on her slippers.
"My nose simply does not look refine." Amy pouted. Beth finally spoke up "I like your nose." .Amy looked over , gasped and started walking to jo trying to fix her hair "Now jo." Jo tried to push her away with out letting go of the iron " Don't touch me thanks I already feel ridiculous I don't wanna look it."
"You could be pretty if you tried." advised Amy. "Don't want to, wont do it." Jo declared . Amt poke her in the side which made jo flinch.
" I don't wanna go but I wish I could hear all the music." Beth said softly . Jo looked at her through the mirror "I can keep it all in my head and try to sing it for you when i return."
Beth started to look concerned at megs hair. "Is it supposed to smoke like that ."
"Its the dampness drying . "
Amy scrunched her nose "Queer nose it smells like burnt feathers."
Jo ignored her " Now Ill take this off and you will see a perfect ringlet." Jo separated the iron from megs hair with a lock of still stuck to it. Jo screamed which caused Meg to follow along. Amy turned around and gasped at the sight. Beth was confused "Why is your hair off?".
Jo looked at meg with a worried face " I'm so sorry."
"What have you done?!" Meg screamed as she ran to the mirror where Amy was standing laughing her head off.
Jo had eyes as big as saucers "You shouldn't have asked me to do it!"
I got up and ran to meg "Jo you told me you knew what you where doing!" Beth and I tried out best to fix the damages as meg yelled for mother.
"Marmee I cant go I've spoiled my hair!" She whined I felt so bad for her.
~~~~~....~~~~~
Soon meg calmed down Mother fixed her hair to where the burn wasn't even noticeable . Jo and meg put there gloves and coats on then headed their way to the party. Mother closed the door, turned around and looked at Amy and Beth. "Ok girls time for bed."
"Marmee do we have to, Y/n gets to stay up as long as she wants why cant we?" Amy pouted. I nugged her in the side with my elbow which made her flinch . Marmee walked over and put her arm over both of the girls. "When you two are your sisters age I promise you can stay up later, But ill make a deal with you if you two wake up when your sisters get home you can stay up 20 more minutes to talk about the party"
The answer seemed to satisfy Amy and she followed mother and Beth up the stairs so she can go to bed. I Helped Hannah clean around the house than I went to my room got into my night gown and started working on the costumes finishing touches by my window.
~~~~~~...~~~~~~~
I suddenly hear foot steps running across my door and down the stairs assuming it was the girls getting out of bed when they weren't supposed to I opened the door and my way the staircase . Rushing down the stairs I proclaim "Girls why are You two still up" I was about to turn the corner into our living room, but I stopped in my tracks as I heard mothers voice
"Laurie how are your ankles do you you need ice."
~Lauries? What is he doing here.~ I thought I quickly adjusted my hair and walked into the room. Just as i thought laurie was in the room smiling at the caos, just at that moment he turned his head to look at me. 'Hello" I greet him. He nods his head "hello".
We awkwardly stared at each other for some reason I couldn't keep my eyes away from his small crooked smile. I then realized the familiar chaos coming from the other side of the room. I rush over at the sight of meg sitting while the girls ice her leg, I laugh at the sight. "I told you not to wear those shoes meg they were much to tight."
"Oh but Y/n they look so nice."
I helped the girls put ice into little cloths. After awhile meg was finally ready to go to sleep. I said goodnight Laurie and marmie walked him out the door while I walked any bath to bed.
After finally getting the girls to sleep I cleaned up the fabric scraps on my floor and finally got to sleep
