"Happy 18th Birthday Resena!"Cont...Pt4
Margo Lavene was a colorful and flamboyant older woman. Although she was average height and size, she had a huge and vibrant voice as well as personality. She’d spent about 10 minutes examining Resena as well as her attire for the evening. 

“This dress is absolutely gorgeous! Look at the detail in the stitching and this color! Oh, Resena you are truly going to be the bell of the ball! We must give you a hairstyle that matches the energy of this ensemble!” 

“Can you do that?” 

“Can I do that?! Honey! By the time I get finished with you every girl in the country of Lenoria including the princess herself will want to be you!” 

Resena was not sure how true that was, but she was excited just the same. As it the time grew closer to 4:30, Margo was almost finished with Resena’s hair, just then, Grace along with Carla and Sabrina walked into the room.  

“Oh, my goodness! Margo, you’ve done it again! She looks breathtaking.” 

Grace stood in front of Resena, her hands close to her chest, she beamed as Margo put the final touches on Resena’s hair. 

“Oh wow! She really does! Oh Ms. Resena!” 

Carla’s voice began to crack; her eyes swelled with tears; she was beyond elated for her best friend.  

“Do you really like it?” Resena looked up at Carla, she could see her eyes beaming with joy. 

“You look divine.” 

“Would you like to see it now? I’m finished.” 

Resena looked up at Margo, she suddenly felt nervous, she was anxious to see what everyone else saw. Just then Margo pulled the long mirror over and turned Resena around; she could hardly speak. Resena was speechless, Margo truly had out done herself. Because the gown was off the shoulders, Margo decided an up doo with some hair out in the back would be the best style. She’d given Resena beautiful spiral curls and took a portion up into a pin ponytail. She’d braided the sides to go up into the ponytail and left the back completely out. For the accessories, she’d chose pearl hair pins that she placed around the ponytail like a crown. She then stuck pearl flowers up each of the braids. She left spiral curls on each side of her forehead and placed a pearl hair clip on each side. Resena could hardly believe her eyes, she looked stunning, and she had not even applied her makeup or put on her dress yet. Just then, she could feel her eyes watering up. 

“You better get it out now honey because once we put your makeup on there will be none of that!” 

Just then, all the women began to laugh, this day was truly amazing indeed! Once Margo completed her makeup; she and Grace began to help her get dressed, Carla and Sabrina both went back to their rooms so that they too could begin to get ready. 

“Oh Ms. Resena! You’re going to look so beautiful I can’t wait to see you tonight!” 

“Yes! Me too! Let’s do these girls days more often yes?” 

“Of course!” 

Resena was overly emotional, today had turned out better than she could ever imagine, she felt so grateful for Carla and Sabrina, as well as Margo and Grace. Because of them, she felt beautiful for the first time since she was a child. 

“Alright you too, shoo, shoo! We must finish getting this princess ready!” 

The time was 6:30pm, The party was being held in the grand ballroom in the west villa of the mansion at 7pm. Julius sent Resena a message on her communicator letting her know he was already headed to the ballroom to begin greeting the guest. She could not wait to see him! She’d gone the entire day without seeing him and began to miss him dearly. As she stepped from behind the fitting rack, both Grace and Margo gasp. The dress Resena wore was an olive-green Victorian style dress. The sleeves were long and laced and fell off her shoulders. Margo used a golden glitter makeup for her chest and back area to give off a shimmering glow. The dress was long and fluffed but highlighted her figure. Underneath was a cream-colored laced slip, and her boots were also olive-green with cream colored lace. For her accessories, she wore a beautiful pearl necklace along with matching earrings and a pearl bracelet. Margo used just the right amount of blush for her cheeks to give a lovely rose color along with a shimmering olive colored eye shadow and deep rose lip gloss. As Resena stared at herself in the long mirror, she could not believe it was her. She’d never thought of herself as the most attractive person, but here she stood, beautiful as ever. “I can’t cry; I can’t cry.” Resena kept chanting to herself as she looked at the mirror.
