*Tess smiles confidently in the doorway with a hand behind her back, wearing a beautiful floor-length ballgown. Her hair is in an elegant updo. Sparkles glitter around her.*

*Daisy smiles demurely in the doorway, blushing with both hands tucked behind her back. She’s wearing a cute short-sleeved midriff top, a matching frilly skirt and has a flower bow around one ear. Sparkles glitter around her.*

Author commentary

Veronica: Tess’ dress design was actually from her creator, Lily! Thank you, Lily!!!

Oliver: They don’t last too much longer.
