Union Party

"I'm done! I'm dead!" Henry exclaimed, dramatically falling on to the couch.
Edward flopped down beside him and buried his head in his cousin's shoulder.
"Mommy!" Edward wailed.
"These girls are killing me!"

Can you guess what happened?
Yup! We went SHOPPING!

After hours of torturing or in other words.. Shopping.., we finally reached our apartment. The moment Isla drove the car in to the drive way, Henry and Edward dashed out of it and straight to the apartment, Emma, Lily and I close behind.

The five of us fell on to the couch, exhausted. I threw off my shoes and started massaging my aching legs.

We couldn't even spend ten seconds in peace. The front door flung open and the five of us turned our heads slightly to the direction. Mia and Isla stood at the door, arms crossed, wearing similar scowls.

"You!" They shrieked in unison, pointing toward Henry and Edward whose eyes widened. They pointed a finger at themselves and were like, who? We?

"Where are your manners?" Isla demanded. "There ate tons of bags in the car but you two men didn't offer to carry them for us!"
Mia threw her hands in the air as if it was the most ridiculous thing ever. "Go and bring them inside!" She ordered.

Henry and Edward groaned.
"Aww.. Come on!" Henry begged.
"Let us have some rest. We spent at leat ten hours running from one freaking shop to another! Can't a guy have a little peace?"

"Actually.." Lily started, adjusting her glasses. "To be accurate, we spent only eight hours, thirty six minutes and eleven seconds, shopping."

Six heads snapped to stare at her.
I blinked, once , twice and thrice.
Was she serious?

Emma threw her hands in to the air.
"Forget it , guys! Forget it! Just ignore her!" She exclaimed.
Henry sighed.
"That girl has gone insane!"

"Anyway! You two boys come and bring our bags inside." Isla said, patiently tapping her foot on the ground.
Edward shook his head, pouting.

Mia glared.
"Come or die." She said in a low dangerous voice.

The two boys gulped. I shared a look with Emma who raised an eyebrow. The two of us were enjoying the little scene.
"Popcorn!" I whispered to Emma.
"We need popcorn."

Henry threw his hands in the air.
"Someone call the police!" He yelled.

I and Emma laughed our heads off as Mia and Isla dragged the two boys outside, scolding them about having no manners.

I smiled to myself. Life could never be boring with them around me.

*********

     I checked my image in the mirror, twirling around. It was the day of that union party.

I was in a bright red off shoulder dress that was up to my knees. It hugged my body perfectly and well.. It was beautiful.

Usually, I don't wear dresses. But the thing is, Isla dared me to wear a dress for that stupid prom. I mean the union party.
For it, girls are to wear red and boys black. So, that's why I ended up in that red dress.
My dark brown hair fell up to my waist in natural waves and I wore a light make up.

I turned around to face the girls.
Isla was in a long dark red dress with a slit in the side, her hair braided. Mia was in a short red dress, her hair in a neat bun. Lily was in a red top and dark pink skirt. Emma was wearing a crimson strapless dress that was up to her knees. Her red hair was in curls around her face. She seemed to be on fire.

Isla squealed, taking in my appearance and Mia did her haply little dance. Emma smirked and Lily gasped.

The five of us stood in front of the mirror, shoulder to shoulder, grinning.
