A Kingdom of Secrets

Part 2: The Fall Ball

-ringgggg-

"Class dismissed" Ms. Linden the perky magic history teacher announced. Ms. Linden had blonde hair, messily pulled back into a loosely tied low bun, with purple glasses that sat on the tip of her nose, and was always flustered.

The noises of the scrambling of books and closing of lockers filled the hallways. It was the end of the day, 2:30. Flora headed home with her friends Mariposa and Marigold.

"Hey, how about we go to Magicfly after school tomorrow?" Marigold suggested. 

"That sounds awesome I'm in. I need a dress for the Fall Ball anyway. " Mariposa replied. The Fall Ball is the dance where everyone gets dressed up in beautiful dresses, and the Dance looks as if it were pulled out of a fairytale and the Ball always has a theme. 

"What's the theme?" Flora inquired. 

"I think it's dress as your talent." Mariposa replied. 

"Ooo." Flora said very excited. "Then we MUST go shopping right after school! Its going to take a long time to find the perfect dress!" Flora said. They were all happily giggling until they felt a dark cloud coming closer to them nope their mistake it was Mylie and her posse. 

"Uh, look it's the 'cool girls' talking about the Fall Ball," Mylie sarcastically stated and the posse giggled along to her joke and immediately stopped when Mylie put up her hand.

"Oh I'm sorry, you thought you were in the conversation," Marigold said in her 'don't mess with me voice. ' Mylie looked very offended and walked off with her posse chasing after her reassuring her how cool she is. 

"Haha, wow." Flora laughed. They continued to the mall talking about boys, and what they were looking for their dresses to look like. 

"Wow. " Flora said astonished and had her hands pressed up against the on the front window of the store. 

"What, what is it?" Marigold exclaimed. 

"Look! Its perfect!" Flora said excitedly at the perfect dress in front of her it was blue with a sparkly heart shaped top. It was the perfect dress for the ball. Mylie and her posse approached the store window. 

"Aw you like that dress? Too bad, I just bought it. " Mylie said with her usual snarky tone pointing to the dress walking towards Flora. Flora put her head down looking at her feet. 

"Too bad? It's really too bad that it's not your color. Looks like you wasted your money." Flora replied. Mylie took at step back and her posse held her shoulders. Mariposa and Marigold stepped forward as a sign of don't mess with our friend.

"Well,good luck finding a dress for yourselves and your lame talents. Haha." Mylie laughed at her sarcasm. The three of them, Mylie and her posse left with a flip of their hair. 

"Whatever. " Mariposa said annoyed. 

"Yeah, who cares she basically just did you a favor. " Marigold announced.

"What? How did she do us a favor?!" Flora said confused. 

"Well... We could find an even more beautiful dress." Marigold proposed.

"Ok I guess we could. It has to match my talent though. " Flora agreed but was concerned that there wouldn't be a dress that matched her talent for the fall ball. The three girls passed through many, many stores and they couldn't find any dresses.
