Marinette|05:00pm|Getting Ready

It was time to get ready for the ball. I get up from my bed and put on my jacket. I go over to the mirror and brush my hair until it was good enough to tie back into pig tails.

"Marinette!"

That voice made me jump a little but I looked carefully and see that it was Tikki.

"Hello!"

"Marinette, are you supposed to just wear your normal clothes?" She asks with question in her squeaky voice.

I shrug, "I'm not so sure.. But even if.. I'll just wear this.."

I look around my room and my small wardrobe. At the top of it there was a red bow with black polka dots. I grab hold of it and smile whilst putting it on.

"This is a slight adjustment!" I end my sentence.

Tikki smiles. "Oh, Marinette.. You look amazing!! Even if it's just a bow."

"All right, Tikki!" I say with excitement. "Ready to go?"

"Ready to go!" She answers and pops right back into my purse.

With a bit of happiness, I hum the tune of a song and walk downstairs to the kitchen.

Mama and Papa were already there. Mom drops her glass plates onto the floor on seeing the sight of me.

"Mom!" I say, worried.

"Ooh! Marinette don't worry about that!" She says. "You look gorgeous!"

"Oh, Marinette. Our young girl has grown up!" Dad says with a sad voice and with a mix of pride.

"Oh, Dad!" I say. "I haven't grown up!"

I run towards them and hug them.

"-dad, I won't ever grow up. In fact, I'm still your young Marinette, right here, right now."
After a while, I try to let loose from their tight grip and I say my goodbyes and get going.
