Tea Party Curse... second attempt
K, I've abandoned all previous efforts and have decided to come back to just the basic concept. Screw invitations, background story, etc. Just the bare essentials. Mind you, I suck at mystery-suspense crap, but whatever.
Just to refresh your memories: I'm Lydia (I decided I like it better than Lila), Bianca is Maureen, Jolene is Marie, and Danielle is Marion. Because y'all are difficult.
This is what's basically going on, so I don't have to write it.
Marie has a tea party, and the girls extend it to a sleepover, and since it's summer and Marie's house is large enough, they decide to spend the entire summer at Marie's house. It's when they try to leave that the trouble starts.
The Luculence
It started out normally enough; Marie decided she was bored and the best solution was to invite her closest friends over. The problem? Well, that was simple. What could they do? There was nothing to do. She sank into a squashy red armchair in one of the front rooms over her house and stared blankly at the table in front of her. An idea began to form in her head... She glanced at the china cabinet and saw her mother's prized set of cups and saucers, with matching tea pot and creamer, sugar bowl with tongs for lump sugar, an ornate tray, and little spoons. As if a cliche'd light-bulb went off in her head, she jumped up and ran upstairs to go online and send out the invitations.
And we could get dressed up, you know, all fancy, and pretend to be English ladies in one of those castles, like royalty or something, she typed. Lydia, the girl who was perpetually on her computer, answered back.
Ooooh! I love dressing up! And... I like tea!
Marie smiled. Of course good ol' Lyd would come. With her laptop, of course. Over the course of several more instant messages, the simple tea party turned into plans for a sleepover movie night complete with tea and dressing up, pizza, giggling, make-up, giggling, staring at Orlando Bloom, and giggling.
Lydia called up Maureen and practically forced her into cancelling all plans and coming to the Tea-Sleepover Extravaganza. Maureen, on her way to the grocery store to pick up some snacks to bring along, stopped at Marion's house to let her know what was up. By 4 o'clock- tea time, according to Marie- all was set.
Part two, The Beginning, coming soon.
Sorry it's not much, but I'm like braindead. Brain-dead. Brain dead. WHATEVER.
