The Royal Programme

Chapter 14

Hiya lovelies pictured above is the grand staircase that lead to the ballroom, she's royal so of course she needs the long staircases ;)
The ball is finally happening in this chapter! This chapter will have a lot of vague description and slightly less speech as it's intended to make you as a reader feel you are there, well that's what I have tried. Note that this chapter will be carried onto the next.

The fairy tale ball, it was today. Currently it was 3:00pm in the afternoon and everyone had just finished lunch and were relaxing in their rooms before they started prepping for the ball which was held later this evening. Angel had organised the whole thing by herself as a surprise, but she let it slip a few weeks ago when she revealed that Jack had helped her but he started harassing her later, which led to his immediate dismissal. Many people were set to arrive at 7:00pm, along with a special entrance from my parents. Speaking of family I started to remember that I was finally going to meet my aunt, or should I say the mysterious Becky Tricks.

I settled on taking a small nap to soothe my nerves and later awoke to the sharp knock on my door.

"Nina, you better not be sleeping, we have a ball to attend for goodness sake and you need to start getting ready!" My caring sister shouted from the other side of the door.

"Open the door Nina, I have all our outfits. Plus we agreed on getting ready in your room since you have the biggest mirrors, so I suggest you open the door right now." Angel yelled, frustrated that all her planning might go to waste if I messed up.

Yawning, I opened the door only to be met with the angry faces of my fellow sisters. "What? It's only 5:00pm."

"We do not have time to waste, Nina you be in charge of the hair, Natti you can be in charge of the outfits and jewellery and I'll be focussing on make-up." Angel spoke hastily as she got to work.

Angel was the first one to do her thing. She went straight for it. For me she gave a more natural makeover, on the other hand Natti's face was caked with makeup but it still looked immaculate and no one could tell that much makeup had been used due to Angel's professional makeup skills. For herself, Angel decided to have a mix between natural and heavy, she used less products on her skin but her eyeshadow was a bright blue and her lips supported dark red lipstick. Once that was done, she used her special ingredient: shimmering glitter powder which she lightly applied on our face, arms, and neck to give us an extra glow.

Natalia was the second one to take action, she pulled out three dresses from her duffel bag and gave one to each of us. It was a fairy tale themed ball so it only made sense to be characters out of a fairy tale. I was given a yellow ball gown, to be the Belle of the Ball. Angel was meant to be Cinderella so she got a beautiful blue gown and last but not least Natalia, she got to be Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and so she got a beautiful pink dress. All of us were quick to put on the dresses one by one and praising each other on how amazing they looked. We also received our matching accessories and pretty shoes, which were mostly hidden under our long dresses.

Finally it was my time to work my magic, I decided to give us all a signature hairstyle from the actual Disney Princesses. For Natti's hair I slightly curled them opting for the natural waves and added in some blonde extensions to make it longer. Angels was the easiest, I made the perfect Ballerina bun for her and then it was only my hair left. I looked up a tutorial on 'how to do hair like Belle from Beauty and the Beast' but after trying it a number of times and repeatedly failing I gave up and settled on a half up half down hairstyle and curled my hair from the bottom.

I'd say we did a rather good job, because staring back at us in the mirror were the faces of three immensely gorgeous real-life Disney Princesses.

I wonder what the guys were going to wear. Deep inside I was hoping maybe one of the suitors would be wearing something ridiculous, just for the laugh of it.
