I wake up on Saturday the day of the big birthday party after sleeping well. While I was sleeping I saw images that I remembered from my past birthday parties, including the last one I had with my parents when I was five. Then the surprise party that Wade's parents threw when I was ten. I also had images of past parties with Jen when were much younger. Not sure how that's possible. Maybe my brain is trying to fill in the gaps.

I hear "Oh my God! Oh my God! Allie wake up! Wake the Hell up Allie!"

I get up and see Jen staring at our closet door. On the outside of the door are two dresses. The first a beautiful yellow dress that looks very similar to the one that Bell wore in Beauty and the Beast, the 2017 version. Her favorite movie.

Next to it was a cool black and red Deadpool dress

"So, you two like them?" Ma asks.

We both run over to our mom and hug her.

"Thank you, Ma, this is beautiful. How did you know?" I say.

"I'm your mother, I know things." She kisses me on the forehead.

"Mommy, I love this. I can't believe you really made it for me. I was joking with you at the theater about you making me a Belle dress," Jen says to Ma.

"If you both look on your desk you will find the matching shoes and either hose or leggings."

Jen had white panty hose, with black paten shoes with a cute gold buckle. I had black leggings, with red socks and a pair of black and red Deadpool converses that matched the dress.

"Did you know about this," I ask Jen?

"No, not a clue."

Mom looks at us beaming with joy.

"Get dressed in your regular clothes you'll put on your dresses for the party. Then come out to the living room your special day is just beginning."

Jen turns to me, "I know this is going to sound weird, but do you mind if we do the twin thing, for old-time sakes?"

When she says that I start getting glimpses in my head of when Jen and I were younger of us dressed identically. Glimpses that I should not be able to have.
