Since today is a Friday, Aunt Mindy is letting me stay at Lucy's house for the weekend. I also told her that i would be visiting the new house that Dad bought. Lucy agreed to come and see it with me. We sat on Lucy's round bed and drank hot choclate while watching Love Struck. It was so nice being able to hang out with a friend again. My Best Friend in New York and i would do this all the time on rainy days. Her name was Delilah Lillians. She had long silvery hair, with the most gorgeous and dazzling green + blue eyes. She had the body of a super model and the brain of a nerd. I was always to jealous of her. She was the most beautiful girl at the academy that we both attended. She want to be a photographer when she gets older. We still FaceTime and talk, but its not the same.

Eventually, i dosed off. I had the most amazing dream. At the start at least. There was me in my ballgown again. I was dancing with Prince Charming. We smiled and glided across the floor. Suddenly, all the lights went dark. There was a giant version of MIA! She pulled my Prince Charming away, while Ella, and a few other girls, started to tear my dress apart. I screamed and screamed. The scene changed. I was surrounded in all white. I looked around and saw someone walking toward me. I stood up, my clothes had changed as well i was back in my Mother's dress. The figure was close enough that i could tell who it was.

"Mother?" I muttered. She smiled. Her long blonde hair fell in long, graceful curls by her face. Her kind looking face smiled at me. She drew me close, and hugged me. She looked at me and and in her milky voice, talked to me. At first it was almost a whisper.

"Look at you! Look how beautiful MY girl is.." she continued. I smiled at her i felt my eyes began to get a little teary. Mother put her hand to my face, she cupped my cheek in her hand and whipped away a fallen tear. I observed where we were standing. It looked like a glass room. I looked at my reflection. My hair was down in beautiful long curls, that went down to my waist. It had white flowers pinned to it. I also had a bouquet of tulips and lillies. I looked down at my dress, it was no longer the flower printed dress, it was now a dress with a long trail, that had fake, colorful flowers, sewed into the sleeves and trail of it. It was so beautiful. I felt gorgeous. And to top off the whole thing, i had a long wedding veil that was quite beautiful. Right in the center of that veil was my tiara. Shimmering and glowing.

"My daughter, my gorgeous daughter. Have courage and be kind, don't let those awful things in that world bring you down." She said.

"Please, be kind to those. You have so much to offer these people." she continued.

"Where are we Mother? Heavan?" She looked at me, and looked like she was going to laugh.

"No, Butterfly. I am in Paradise. I will be here until the very end of time. I will not be able to leave this place and go to Heavan until you and your Father join me here." She explained.

"Is this just a dream?" I asked her. She smiled at me.

"You can be the judge of that, Butterfly." She whispered. She placed a firm kiss on my forehead. I smiled at her. Suddenly, she began to ripple. I got scared. I grabbed her arm.

"Let me go, Butterfly." She whispered. Reluctantly,

I let her go.
