FADED LIGHTS√

last ball(v)

"Bella, tomorrow's your last ball"
"Oh calm down mother" I say using the top of my palm to soothe my eye so as to enhance my vision
"Oh Bella, its coming so fast"

I decide to ignore her and go back to dreamland but my plan is shattered when I start hearing a voice that sounds as that of a dying frogie

"Oh tomorrow tomorrow Bella will be seventeen
So close to being and adult, she'll say 'sha-bye' to being a teen
Dressed in a ball gown, she'll dance with a prince
And when the time is right, they'll share their first kiss"mother sings

Okay singing is so not her thing

"Goodness Gracious, mother
Such a lovely song it is, and must I say you have the most beautiful voice" note my sarcasm

"Oh gracias Bella
You speak the truth" mother says, wait does she think I'm serious, wow_oh_wow
Sometimes I can't help but wonder from where did I get my voice from

"Yes mother, can I go back to sleep"
"But what about breakfast" food!!!!!!!
Can't possibly say no to that
"Oh right you are, I'll be there in 10"
"Aye Bella, off I go now"

I use 5 minutes to pay a little tribute to dreamland then use the other 5 to wash the mouth of mine and dress

Its a long work to the banquet room accompanied by a 2 maids and a guard where I meet mother, DD, and Papa

"Hi Bellie" says Diana
"Well hello DD... Did you sleep well??" I ask
"Well I most certainly did"

I divert my attention to papa when I hear a
"Morning to you princesa
How do you do"
"How do you do papa" I say dropping a peck on his right cheek

Then I take a sit and take a proper gaze at the yummy goodnesses we have here

Food never seizes to amaze me

"I'd say 'this tastes good' but it tastes better than good so...

After breakfast, I go for my dance and balance lesson.
I have my beauty sleep today because
I've got a big day tomorrow

NEXT DAY

I wake up to the sound of a playing trumpet. Its a little tradition we have here in Janstable. When there's going to be a ball in the evening, an hour to trumpet playing would be used to inform the citizens and other royals

"Humph, its finally here" I say to myself in an undertone

I get up from my extremely soft bed go get a mouthwash in the bathroom and have a little shower

My heart skips a beat as I open the door and see Diana, mother, papa and papa's most trusted general saying
"Congratulations to you princesa"

Goodness, how did they even get here
This is almost unbelievable
I am taking aback as I start to feel tears dropping from the eyes, to my cheek, then you know where

"Oh gracias all...This is so nice
I... I don't even... I don't even know what to say"I say trying to look for the right words

Mother is the first to give me a hug

"Oh don't you cry now would you Bella"
"I'm not crying mother"
"Well I agree with her" papa says
Well nothing good can come from this
"She's watering"

*silence*

"What?? The truth I speak... Water from the eye is watering"
"Oh papa..." DD says while shaking her head in disapproval

"Well, we'll excuse you now" says mother

6:30pm

The day went with breakfast and sleep
Its 60:30pm now and about 5 maidens have rushed into my chamber to get me ready for my 'last ball'

The royal hair stylist is done with my hair within 25 minutes

Then the hairstyle is accompanied my a diamond platted tiara

Minutes later, I see an
astonishing ball gown being brought into my chamber

Beautiful it is indeed...
