A While Later........
Two years had passed since their mother's death, they'd been a nice and quiet two years. At least until a carriage attached to four black horses strode up into the driveway. "Who's that?" Cinder came up from behind Ella, who'd been helping her harvest the eggs. "Not sure, though I recognize the carriage from the funeral" The two sister stood still as a tree while their father got out and greeted the three women that came out of the carriage. "Girls come over here please" Their father called. Cinder and Ella cautiously stepted over to the two girls wearing dresses that looked completly disasterous on them beacaus of how mutch makeup they coted on thier face. Thier hair had been, well, a try at a bun but failed for it twisted aroun and around before it splatted back. When one of them shoved the other they both fell to the grownd, causing pieces of thier hair to poke out everywere. Thier desinged dresses got a bit dirty from the ground but they stumbled up eventually.
"Ugh! What is this place" One in a green desingner dress scowled, while the other agreed for the first time "yeah, M-O-M you told us we were going somewere it would be nice!" the two complained hitting each other. The older woman who was supposedly was thier mother, ignored them as she walked forward to take their fathers hand. "Oh, Aaron good to see you.... And how are things?" The wich spared a glary- glance to the two girls who had been slowly tip toeing thier way over froze. "You two maids! What are you? Turtle necks?! Get over here and collect my bags!" Cinder and Ella looked at each-other very confused what to do. "Did she call us maids?" Ella whispered to Cinder, who was very helpful. By a grunt or two "uh i oh un" Thier father gave them a desperate silent plead. "What do you say Cinder?" She looked over at Ella like the awnser was obvious "We better get ice cream after this." Then headed towrds the carrage to collect the bags. And bags. And bags. Of clothes.
It took about two hours since they were done and then a very akward introduction of were the two girls just stood still as there other two called dibs of what they like about them. Afterwards Ella had made a list of all the things they brought.
Willa (mother): 4 clothes - two make up - 1 jewlery
Anastasia (daughter in green): 7 clothes - 6 make up - 4 jewlery
Frettalina (fret-a-leen-a) (daughter in orange): 9 clothes - 9 make up - 7 jewlery
Cinder snuck up behind Ella quielty then leaned down over her head. "What-cha doin' " Cinder asked as it was normal question. Though Ella completly freacked! Sprining up but dropping her pad and pencil on the wodden floor. They slamed down hard of the floor then both girls froze as the noise expanded throught the house. Echoing up to the attick and bedrooms. Once the noise vanished the girls alowed themselves to breath as the silent night became quiet again. Sighing Ella wisper yelled "DONT DO THAT!!!!" "what?" Cinder said blankly "ask a normal question?" Ella slumped back down onto the plush couch just as her father and Miss Willa stutted into the room. Thier arms linked while they walked to stand infront of the girls.
"Ahem" Aaron cleared his throught and gestured for Cinder to sit on the couch. She understood and joined her sister on the plush couch. "Now, my darlings. As you know we have been running the farm on our own for the past couplpe years and have been doing faboulous at it" He bit his lip, but before he could start again Cinder caught on to what he was saying all to quickly "NO Papa! Please you dont have to do this!!". Ella latched on to her sisters arm "What? What is it? What's wrong?". Thier father continued dispite his daughters confusion, and defiance. "Now now girls, You must'nt fret. This is a time for celebrations." "What for Papa?" Ella politly demanded. "Because, as of next week you will have a mother" Aaron responded, "Who?" Ella asked as a single tear fell down her cheek. Not sure if she was suposed to be happy, or sad. "No! Papa please dont marry Miss Willa" Cinder yelled. "It's Misses Willa now" Her father corrected. Ella noticed Anastasia and Frettalina had crept up and were now standing by the door way. Anastasia looked happy while Frettalina looked at her in discust. Turning back to the whirl of caos Aaron now stood unlinked from Willa. "Girls!" He roared. Silencing everything so he could speack. "Now girls I dont want anymore words or drama, about this new change in our lives" He let his words go "For next week you will have 2 step sisters and Willa and I will be married." They linked arms again to walk out of the room. But before they could go Ella caught a smug expression from Willa that filled her ego with delight.
Cinder grazed the floor with her blankets as she carried them to the attick. Since Anastiasai and Frettalina were staying for good Cinder and Ella were forced into the attick while their two stept sisters got Cinder's room and used Ella's for their personel walk-in closet. The attick was really nice though. It was a big wooden dome that held all of the old nick nacks there mum had, they had secretly kept the stuff they new were fine to keep even though dad wanted to throw it all away. Old dresses: material: sweing machine and so on, she had always made the're clothes. Not one shirt that they wore was ever bought at any boutique. The only accessories they'd ever bough actually, was a white lily that there father brought home for the two of them each travel he took. All 12 flowers were lined up in a bouque, that they made oursleves by putting the flowers upsidedown to perserve them.
For a while they just stood there in silence, before Cinder spoke up. "Remeber the time we wore our brand new dresses out to the lake?," Remeberring the storie Ella continued, "Yeah!, we took the cannoe out to paddle, when dad tipped us over..." "Our dresses were soaking wet! Mum was sooo mad at him!" "It was so funny when afterwards, when dad was looking at us crawl out of the water from up top that hill," "He had NO clue we were just a disrtaction while mum went and pushed him over from behind!...." the two girls laughed, remebering the memory of thier mom and all the fun little things that made them such a good family. After a moment of silence, Ella ran over and grabbed a frilly green dress that was given to thier mom by someone who had bad taste. The shoulder area pouffed out twice as much as it should have, Giant scratchy rings of fabric were on everything possible, the arms, neck, bottom skirt, waist, and under skirt. The green resembled a brown-like swamp colour, and the skirt came in three times, making it look sort of like an ugly christmas tree. Ella threw in over her body, stuck her hip out out-ragouisly far, and spoke in a overly sweet sassy pitched voice, "UGH!! MOTHER!!! WHAT IS THIS RECHED PLACE???!!!!!" Playing along Cinder grabbed a torn bed sheet and tied it around to be the ugliest thing in history. "MOOOOOM YOU SAID WE WERE GOING TO A FARM!!! SO WHY ARE WE IN THIS PIG STY?????!!!" Laughing at each other the two of them panted and hunkerd over. Things were quiet for a while, before Ella let out a horrid pitiful screetch, Cinder already on her toes jumped up "Ella? What;s wrong!!!" Ella's horrified expressoin turned into a drama queen pose, with her arm flung over her head and hand on waist, "UGH!!! I... Broke.... A...... NAIL" Cinder full on out laughed as hard as she could, it was about 3 secounds before Ella's expressoin joined to the amusment and both girls were on the floor laughting. They threw the dresses on the side while laying on the floor before the door came bursting open and their father dashed through with a paniced emotion plasterd on his face. The two trouble makers jumped to thier feet and stood tall, holding back the laughter as well as they could. Thier father paced around, closing the door on his way in. He spotted the two ugly dresses on either side while he examined the situation, "Well, well, well, What do we have here?" Before sprinting to the corner and grabbing and old black top hat as well as a cane, "Now, I do believe to ladies are way up past thier bed time. Ops the topsy turvy why arent yo in thy bed yet?" he spoke with a high accent and pushed the hat down further over his eyes. They all colapst onto thr floor, once more and waited until thier riot turned to laughter, laughter to giggles, and giggles to a smile. Before the door came crashing open to find Miss Willa standing at the entrance looking very displeased. But once thier father turned around the face changed to a kind smile. "Dont suppose you know but its very late and the.... girls, should be in bed by now..." "ah, yes of course" Aaron responded, formal again for play time was over. "Good night girls," he called as they exited.
