Dolly came in and sat at the end, probably thinking I was still asleep. I opened my eyes to look at her but she was looking down at her hands. Her hair was up in a messy ponytail and she was wearing flannel pajama bottoms with a white tank top so I figure it wasn’t too late in the day.

“Good morning” I said as I sat up. Her head shot up as I said it.

“Good morning. Better get up breakfast is soon” she said softly “You can just come in your pajamas, everyone does”

So I got up and followed her out into the hall, into the throne room and into a door on the other side of the room. She opened the door and we walked in. The room was about the same size as the throne but it had two long tables. At one table I saw all the counsel members. At the second I saw everyone else. I glanced over to the counsel members table, caught Blaze’s eye. He winked and smiled, and then I looked away, hoping no one saw that.

Dolly dragged me over to the table, pushed me toward Jason and sat with Mark. I was a little angry at her but I shook it off.

“So are they dating?” I asked Jason as I sat down beside Jason.

“They wish” replied Jason as he passed me a plate and gestured for me to grab some of the food that was laid out in front of me. “It’s been a flirt fest ever since Dolly got here”

“When was that?” I asked

“A year ago” he said with a funny grin on his face “My brothers a chicken”

“I took you seven years” I retorted. He laughed at me and we continued to argue our points for the rest of breakfast.

After breakfast I went into my room to clean myself up. I grabbed a pair of jeans and a tank top because the whole house seemed so cold. I threw the clothes on and started brushing my hair, still pondering over last nights events. As I brushed my hair I heard a knock at my door.

“Come in” I yelled as I threw my brush on the counter and pulled out my toothbrush. Not a second sooner Dolly walked in. It was a few awkward seconds before I was finished with my teeth.

“The counsel is putting together a special dinner for you. They do it for all newcomers and its semi-formal so I need: your dress size, favorite color, and your strap preference. I will also need: sparkles or rhinestones and ruffles or puffs? Fee is going shopping for the both of us and asked me to make a list” she sounded upbeat and excited and practically shrieked at the mention of sparkles.

“I don’t know my dress size and my favorite color is a light yellow or orange. I like halter straps, sparkles and ruffles” I said as I popped open my mascara lid.

“You look like a small” announced Dolly as she wrote everything down on a pink notepad. “I’ll see you at lunch!”

I quickly finished my make up and went to the door-less room. When I got there Mark was watching T.V and Lori was on a bean bag chair in the corner. I plopped down on the opposite side of the couch as Mark. He was watching a crime scene show; which I don’t find very interesting so I just sat there trying to follow the show. After the show was over I looked at the clock to see it was 9:00. Just as I turned my head back to the T.V Dolly ran into the room.

“Come on Al, we are decorating your room” she stated as she grabbed my arm and pulled me to a closet at the back of the room. Dolly flung the door open; inside was everything you need to decorate anything. I saw curtains, paint, rugs, spray paint, carving knives and much more.

“What colors do you like?” asked Dolly.

“Purple, orange, yellow, green, blue and pink” I relied. Dolly started rooting through everything. She came out with orange, purple and blue paint, yellow curtains, and a pink shag rug.

“We will need to ask Fee to order you a bed spread and pillow cases. Grab those knives please” asked Dolly, I grabbed the knives and followed Dolly out to my room. Lori followed behind but turned into the room with the black door. I pushed open the door to my room for Dolly since her arms were full of stuff.

“We will start there” she pointed to the back wall with the window “then I will move onto the wall with the bathroom door while you do the opposite wall. Do not touch the wall with the door. I have plans for it”

“Ok. What colors are we doing each wall?” I asked.

“Back wall will be orange, the other two will be blue and the other I have plans for” she said as she started working towards the back wall with the orange paint in hand. That’s how the day went; lunch was the same as breakfast except everyone was involved in the conversation. The ‘plans’ Dolly had for the wall was pink and purple stripes witch took us forever.

Around 2:00 Fee knocked on my door.
