Chapter 13.

ZACH; "What were you thinking!"

CASSIE; "I dont know i was just mad and it just i mean i... whats happening?"

ZACH; " Deke, Tim, take Sydney to bed and come straight back dont talk to the Mr and Mrs."

The boys took Sydey to her room and shut the door for her to sleep. They walked back to the stone room where Zack and Cassie were. Cassie was sitting on the floor hugging her kees close to her. Zach was sitting next to her trying to comfort her. The boys walke over and sat infront of them.

CASSIE; "Whats happening to me (sniffles)?"

DEKE;" Its happening, your begining to get your protection gifts."

TIM; "Thats impossible, how is it only now that shes getting them. If she was a protector she wouldve already had them."

ZACH; "No shes different, i dont know how though. Now come on i'm sure Sydney is waiting for you."

They all left the stone room and went to their rooms to sleep before school. When morning came they all took shwers and got dressed. The boys wore their tuxedoes like every day and the girls put on their matching dresses. The dresses were summer dresses. Thin strapped, knee length pink summer dresses. Decorated with flowers and butterflys of all colors. Their hair was curled nice and neatley by the house maids. Then a butterfly hair pin was placed on each of the two girls heads. They wore pink flatts with flowers on them. The kids went to the dinning room and prayed before eating scince the Mr and Mrs werent there. After eating the loaded up with their school supplies and started to head out the door but they were stopped. It was the Mr and Mrs.

WOMAN; "Well where on eath do you think you are going?"

TIM; "UU To school."

MAN; " Well you all are new here. Your not going to school today children."

Cassie stepped forward at the word children with an angry look on her face.

MAN; "Calm down its alright, your going shoping today."

ALL KIDS; "HUH?"

WOMAN; "For the Ericross ball tonight!"

For the first time shopping actual sounded good to the guys, they didnt have to go school!!! But the bad thing was they were going to a ball with dancing.

CASSIE; "Are you insane!!!!!" We cant skip school they'll beet us to death!

WOMAN; "Oh dont be silly, no one is going to school. The Ericross ball is the most popular thing around, no child goes to school and the only people that work are the clothing shop owners. Plus there is one advantage you five get. Your going shopping at, wait for it, MADAM SHAPINELLIES EDICASY FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!!"

TIM; "Isnt that like one of the expensive stores?"

MAN; "The most expensive store around."

DEKE; "No offence but why would you take us, strangers to the most expensive store here?"

WOMAN; "Because we are, the queen and.

MAN; "The king.

Every mouth dropped only the slightest bit.

SYDNEY; "So that would make Tim, Deke and, Zach, princes and Cassie and I,"

CASSIE; "OH NO."

WOMAN;" PRINCESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

MAN; "Well what are you waiting for leave your stuff and lets go."

The kids put their things back inside and piled into the lemozine. It took about an hour and forty-five minutes to get to the shop. The outside was decorated with sashes and bows and glitter and alot of gold. When they walked in the place was enormous, it looked like the entire store took up an entire mansion.

MADAM SHAPINELLIES; "Oh i remember making those dresses, oh i was so exited to make dresses for the princesses.

Madam Shapinellies was a verry perky, fashion, lot of make up wearing woman. She wore a giant pink dress with puffy sleeves. The main part was a baby pink. The skirt had a darker pink overlay. The top had a black band around the waist and the top was decorated with bows and flowers. Her face was covered with white powder, she had a fake mole on, bright red lipstick, alot of dark pink eyeshadow on, and super long eyelashes that were super thick and black. Her hair was underneath a giant powdered wig that was piled high with lots of curls.

DEKE; "Well i see someone doesn't get out much."

Madam Shapinellies raised her hand to backhand Deke.

WOMAN; "I wouldn't do that if i were you."

MADAM; "Why not he deserves it."

MAN; "The girl doesn't like it when anybody harms them."

MADAM; "Oh that little thing can't do anything to you or me."

CASSIE; "Oh they don't mean her they mean me."

MADAM; "HAHA, and what are you ganna do, tap me with your hand?"

Zach covered Sydneys eyes. Cassie lights her hand to fire and glares at the fancy lady. The lady looking frightened puts her hand down and changes the subject.

MADAM; "So what can i get for you all today?"

WOMAN; "Work your magic, we have a ball to go to.

Madam Shapinellies whistled and lots of people came from the back room, she spun her finger in the air and each person instanly started measuring the children for the right dresses and suits. The mens were easy they were the same for each boy. black slacks and jacket. A white shirt with a purples tie. A red cape and a fancy black hat with a big red fluffy flowy feather layed across. The girls were a bit harder. They had to pick out the perfect colors and styled for the girls. Cassies was all blue. A dark blue for the main skirting with sky blue ruffles on a small section of the front and a baby blue overlay. The top was a dark blue sweetheart corset with a black ribbon around the waist. The sleeves were longsleeves and the top of them were ruffled. Sydneys was green. The main skirting was a light green, it had a dark green overlay. From the corset to the middle part of the skirt was a layered baby green overlay. Across the waist was a black ribbon. The corset was a light green sweetheart corset. The people also did the ladies hair and makeup. Cassies hair was beautifuly curled. Sydneys was given a whispy look. Cassie had dark blue eyeshadow and red lipstick on. Sydney had light green eyeshadow and light pink lipstick on. The lady working with Cassie took her to the back and opened a small jewlery box. The lady pulled out a neckalace, a golden chain with a tiny red rose on it.

WORKER LADY; "Keep this as a token of apoligize when you get out of Ericross. I really am sorry they did this to all of you."

CASSIE; "Thank you verry much its beautiful."

Cassie walked out with questain on her face. That lady looks like Hunters mother, wow no it coulnt be, that would mean he...
