Her cheeks heated up as she replied, "Yes." Zemma walked over and poured the tea in to Evena's cup and then lifted it to her lips. "Drink, it'll make you feel better," Cherry explained.
Evena gulped and suddenly all her bad and worrying thoughts disappeared. She forgot what she was worried about and it felt like someone had turned on the lights and everything was clearer. Evena looked through her near-sighted eyes and just barely made-out the back of Zemma's kimono as she walked to her chair. Evena hardly wore her glasses, they made her feel like a nerd. But she had to wear them at school.
The warm feeling grew inside of her as she sipped more and more of the tea. Finally, she was smiling and laughing with Cherry and Zemma." Your kimono looks wonderful Zemma!" Evena complemented. "Oh yes! That reminds me, I had sewn a dress for you, come Evena!" Zemma beckoned and Cherry and Evena followed her towards a tiny closet. Zemma opened it and took out a wraparound dress. It was beautiful and plain. It was a mulberry colour with a pink pearl coloured large bow around it. It had no decoration except for the bow and the pearly pink flats that came with it.
"Its amazing!" Evena gasped and smiled but then her face fell in to confusion, "But, why?" Zemma and Cherry both rolled their eyes and laughed."Oh Evena," Cherry commented and flittered in to the air in circles until she hit the roof and fell back down and giggled. "'What?" a smile started to form on Evena's lips. "Its for the Blue Moon Festival!" Zemma cried. "Oh! Why didn't you tell me!!" Evena took out the dress and felt its soft silky fabric. "Its just perfect!!" Evena grinned and hugged it to her chest. Cherry's brow crinkled in concentration and then she grinned, "In human times, the festival will be the next time you come!"
Evena smiled and flew towards Zemma and hugged her. "Thank you so much Zemmie!!" Zemma smiled proudly. She was a dress maker after all. "But, I've made you another for the Lake Dance," Zemma pulled out another dress.
