London's P.O.V
I waited for a while, I heard a loud knock on the old door, I rushed down the stairs, and swung open the door, Emily jumped back at the sudden opening the door thing, after that she laughed trying to shake off that she just got scared.

I started to laugh my head off
"Stop laughing, I get scared easily" Emily whined, I stopped laughing, I let Emily in, we walk to my room.

"Have you heard?" Emily asked, as she  sat on my bed, I sat with her
"Heard about what?" I asked, Emily laughed
"There's a dance, and we have to go" Emily explained, great a dance for kids who want to get drunk, dance with there crushes
"No" I said, I could see Emily slumped back.

Emily sighed
"We're going whether you like it or not" Emily demands, I smiled, no way was she gonna convince me to go
"No" I stated, Emily grunted
"Please" she asked, she of course had a puppy face on, how could I say no
"Fine" I gave in, I mean if I say yes, she'll stop bothering me.

"When's the dance?" I asked, not wanting the answer to be in a couple of days
"tomorrow night" she said, it just had to be tomorrow night
"where?" I asked
"At school" Emily answered.

I noticed Emily didn't bring Ned
"Where's Ned?" I asked, Emily sighed
"Fleas, from the old grump down the street from me" Emily grunted, I nodded
"So, we need to pick out a dress for you, we should go shopping" Emily giggled, I sighed, my mom years ago, told me that in high school if I ever went to a dance I would have to were my aunts special skirt, my aunt died of cancer just before I went into high school, how could I ignore my promise to her
"No, my mom has a skirt that my aunt wanted me to wear if I ever went to a dance" I explained, Emily rolled her eyes
"It's probably gonna be old" Emily laughed, but I didn't laugh
"My aunt was gonna twenty seven when I went into high school, unfortunately she died of cancer before I went into high school" I explained sadly, Emily's laughter stopped
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know" Emil apologized, I shrugged it off.

After minutes of silence, I decided I would break the quietness
"Wanna see it?" I asked, Emily jumped off my bed
"Do I ever" she yelled, I gave a small chuckle, I got off my bed and walked to my moms room, I opened the closest and rummaged around until I found the box, the box I thought I would never open, I opened it, there inside was the most beautiful skirt my aunt owned, Emily gasped
"Omg, it's gorgeous, you have to wear it" Emily said, I smiled, I got up off the floor, we walked back to my room.

I walked into my bathroom and put it on, I looked just like my aunt as my mom would say, I walked out, Emily jumped up and down
"The thing is I don't have a shirt to go with it" I muttered, Emily laughed
"But I do, at my house" Emily said strongly, for the rest of the night we made plans for the dance.
