Our Dreams of Freedom:A Coming Story

Chapter 2-The Sun,The Moon,and The Stars

Fumiko decided she was going to ask Aiyana to the dance tomorrow,so she could prepare in advance.If Aiyana accepted her mini "promposal" homecoming invitation,there were so many things she needed to get.

A ball gown,a new eyeshadow palette,a matching headband or silver hair clip,a cute necklace,and a cute pair of shoes were the first few items that came to mind.Fumiko already had half of these items in her bedroom,but she would need to go out and acquire the stuff she didn't have yet.

Not only did she need to know what she will hypothetically wear to the homecoming dance,she needed to plan a special promposal for Aiyana.Fumiko had to think of a special or symbolic promposal that would really touch Aiyana's heart.

It only made sense because Aiyana was a girl who loved things that were sentimental,symbolic,or romantic.Fumiko had to make her promposal contain one of those elements or all of them.That was the most logical and practical way to have a high success rate of Aiyana accepting her invitation to the homecoming dance.

As Fumiko brainstormed on what her promposal for Aiyana was going to be,she heard a knock on her bedroom door.She got up and answered the door to receive a message from her older brother,Christopher.

"Hey Fumiko,Charlotte's taking us to the mall to pick out what we're going to wear to Homecoming."Christopher said,peeking his head through the door. "We're leaving in 10 minutes,so get ready if you're going."Christopher added,closing the door after delivering Charlotte's message.

"Very well,I should get dressed then."Fumiko said,responding as if Christopher was still there.She got off her bed and went into her closet to choose a outfit.Fumiko took out a lavender tank top,a plum purple sweater with a gold necklace,a jet black leather skirt,and a pair of knee-length plum purple socks.She also got out a pair of grey ankle boots to complete her outfit of the day.

Fumiko removed her light blue nightgown and got dressed quickly,making sure not to waste any time.She went to her dresser mirror and got her hairbrush off the dresser to comb through her jet black,tailbone-length hair.

Then,she opened one of the small drawers in her dresser and pulled out an eyeshadow palette & a tube of Violet Mint Lip Gloss.Fumiko applied the lip gloss on her naturally dark pink lips,rubbing them together to make sure the lip gloss was evenly distributed on her lips.It would really bother her if she didn't and she would apply more out of habit.

She closed the tube of lip gloss and went to put it in her mini purse.After that,Fumiko went back to her dresser mirror and opened her eyeshadow palette.Taking out the eyeshadow applicator,she chose the light purple shadow and applied it to her eyelids accordingly.

When she was done getting ready,she put up her eyeshadow palette and grabbed her mini purse & threw it across her shoulder.Fumiko slipped on her grey ankle boots and headed out of her bedroom door,closing right behind her on her way out.

"What took you so long?"Naozumi asked,crossing his arms. "Yeah,we were waiting on you."Christopher injected,taking his phone out of his shorts' pocket to check the time. "I was just trying to look nice before leaving the house,there's nothing wrong with that."Fumiko replied,knowing she didn't take us long as her brothers were making it out to be.

"Are we the only ones going Homecoming shopping?"Fumiko asked,wondering why it was only the three of them when they had many other siblings."Well,we are the only kids in the house who are either in middle school or high school...the only school tiers that hold Homecoming dances."Naozumi explained,understanding his sister's confusion.

"Guys,let's go before the mall gets crowded!"Charlotte called from downstairs,shouting as loudly as she could to get their attention."We're coming!"Christopher shouted back,confirming that they all heard Charlotte.They all hurried downstairs and out of the mansion,practically racing each other to the car.
