Chapter 1
By Angel
Emily was changing Kristina�s diaper. It was the strangest day ever. Nicholas was out of town for a week and he finally came back today. The strange part was that he was hosting a party tonight. She hadn�t seen him since he came back, he was in some hotel. Alexis had to take care of some things and Emily had to babysit Kristina. She felt a little sad that she wasn�t going to be able to go to the party.
Ring, Ring. The door bell rang. Emily opened it. Elizabeth and baby Cameron was standing there. Elizabeth was supposed to come and leave Cameron for Emily to babysit, but she was hoping that Liz would find someone else to do the job.
�Hay Em, I don�t know which dress and what shoes to wear. Can you help me?� Elizabeth asked, she was also going to the party. Emily felt like an outsider not going to her boyfriends party. Elizabeth pulled out two dresses and laid them both on the brown couch. One of them was a beautiful pink dress with splits on both sides. The other one was an even more beautiful light blue with white ballroom gown. It looked like the dress Cinderella wore in that old fairy tale. Then, Liz pulled out two pairs of shoes form a shopping bag. One pair was a metallic pink that would work perfectly with the pink dress and the other one was clear open toe shoes.
�Well, I like the Cinderella dress better but I hate the clear shoes. Do you have any white shoes to match this with?�
�No. Why do you hate the clear shoes?�
�They look like something a stripper would wear.�
�Not if worn with that Cinderella dress, they would work perfectly.� Liz protested. �Anyway, I will wear the pink dress with the pink shoes.�
�If you feel like it, go ahead.�
Liz then asked Emily to help with her hair. Emily pulled out a curling iron and plugged it in. Then she started curling Liz�s hair. When she was done, the hair looked magnificent.
�Hay, can I do something with your hair?� Liz asked.
�Why, I�m not going anywhere?�
�So, I just want to play with your hair.�
�Then in that case, go ahead.�
Liz seemed sure of herself, she was fixing Emily�s hair. She created a beautiful bun and curled some of her hair that was supposed to fall, it looked amazing.
Time was running out. Liz quickly got dressed and left for the party. Now Emily was all alone with the 2 crying baby�s. It was strange how she wasn�t going to her boyfriend�s party. She felt all alone, like no one cared about her. She will shake this feeling. She picked up the phone and dialed Nicholas�s cell phone number, he will reassure her and make her feel better. Of course, she had to leave a message, it was strange how he never picked up his phone this week or how he never called back.

2 Hours Later
Ring, Ring. The door bell rang. Emily got up from feeding the children and answered the door. It was Luke.
�Hi, what are you doing home, aren�t you supposed to be at the party?� He sounded concerned.
�No.� She answered sadly.
�Well, what are you doing home, then go out somewhere, go crash the party, who cares if you weren�t invited.�
�I have to babysit and I have nothing to wear.�
�Nonsense, I�ll babysit.�
�Thank you Luke, but I still have nothing to wear.� Emily stated. Luke entered the house and looked around.
�What about that dress on the couch?� He asked.
Emily had completely forgot about that dress that Elizabeth had brought over. She put on the dress and the clear shoes. The shoes actually looked good with that dress. She put on some light makeup and smiled at the mirror. The bun Liz made on her hair looked really good with the dress, she looked like Cinderella with a more modern hairstyle, dress, and shoes.
�Oh, Emily. Just don�t forget to be back before midnight, I have to go someplace.� Luke stated.
�Don�t worry.� Emily let him know.
Emily stepped out of her house. A question came to her mind �How will I get there?� Her car was being repaired, getting a cab on a Friday night is impossible...Her train of thought was broken when she spotted a horse with a beautiful carriage approaching her. She asked the horseman if he can drive her to the party and hopped in the carriage. She was on her way.
