Silver bells (NanoWrimo) (A holiday story)

A Night to Remember

It was the day. The day of the performance; Parents day. She was so excited but, she was also very nervous that, she was constantly shaking. She had to put her hands in her back pockets to keep them from shaking. Parents were to come at 8:00 sharp and she was up and ready since dawn.

Sophia then went for a walk on the board walk to calm down. She watches the sea, getting lost in the rhythmic sounds of the waves on the sand. Her eyes we steady on the horizon, face a glow with the bright yellow rays of the morning sun. Her lips then bared the resemblance of a smile, just enough to show that it was calming her nerves down.

Well, I don't need to be there when they arrive, it was not like her dad was coming; I will just stay here for awhile, she thought. Time to go back to the Cabin I guess and she skipped all the way back.

When she got back, she found everything in Hailey's area of the Cabin all messed up. "what the Heck?" She says.

"Oh, Amelia what do you think?" I then see Hailey, who was dressed very nicely and she had her hair and Make up done. "Should I wear this lip stick or this one, which one will make me look more grown up," I roll my eyes and point to the lighter one and Hailey applies it.

"So what's up with the extra makeup today? Won't it eventually melt because of the heat?" I ask show concern for her saintly. 

"I want to look my very best for my Dad. I want to make him proud of me as his heir," she says, checking herself in the vanity mirror, I sigh. 

"Okay now it is your turn," she says.

My eyes widen, "What, Why?!"I ask.

"I want you to look pretty when you meet my dad. And plus, don't you want to look nice for Michael's dad; Santa himself," she adds.

In the moment, "Pass the eyeliner!" I state.

"That a girl," she put's it in my hand and I start to apply. "While you do that, I'll do your hair," taking it out and starts brushing. As I finish my make up, Hailey curled and put my hair back in a pony tail; but she added a long silk red ribbon and ties it in a bow.

"Okay done, and just in time too. They all will be here in fifteen minutes," Hailey says, then we walk out arm in arm. We walk to the same yard in front of the Grand Hall, where I first came. As I look around, I see that everyone was waiting too. 

"Look there here!" I hear someone yell, looking up, she is in awe.

Floating caradges of different shapes and sizes were coming down. Each on was so fanominal; that they were almost unbelievable!   Two of them first catch my eye. The details to them were spectacular she noticed that one was pink and red while, the other was warm green. One covered in clovers and Gold trims, while the other was covered in hearts and porcine handles. Henry and Hailey's families; she guesses.

Moments later a man steps out of each one. The first, had a pure green suit on, with curly hair, and a short red beard; Mr.Clover. The second was wearing a white suit, black dress shirt and a pink tie; normally what you see at a prom. He also had bright pink hair and was cleanly shaven; Cupid.

As I saw Henry and Hailey run towards them; I finally felt the gravity of my situation. I was going to be in the presence of of people whom I've always been told were complete fiction; a child's tale. And two are now a few meters away from were I was standing. As I finish mentally freaking out, she looks up and sees Hailey starting to wave at her to come over. Okay Sophia, you can do this. You are too far in to back down now, she thought and she walked towards them.

As I got there, she grabbed my shoulders, "Daddy, this is my roommate Amelia. The one I told you about," She did what?!
