Birthday party

"Aria, you look so pretty." Julia exclaimed.

Beth had something in her hands. She put it on Aria's head and said, "Here's your crown, our princess." Aria went to look at herself in the mirror and saw that it was a handmade crown of flowers. Most of them were white lilies, her favourite, with some red and yellow roses. She said, "Beth, Julia it's really pretty."

Beth went red, "Well, we tried our best."

Aria went and hugged both her sisters. She said, "So this was what you guys were doing the whole day. The surprise I wasn't welcomed to."

Julia scratched her head and said, "Well we had to keep it a secret." Aria looked at both of them and said, "By the way. You both look beautiful. Are you trying to steal the birthday girl's thunder?" Beth and Julia indeed looked beautiful. They were both wearing gowns, though none of their's were as grand as Aria's. They both had long hair. Beth's waist length hair were tied up in an elegant bun, and Julia hair, which were halfway down the waist, were done in a beautiful plaid, flowers sticking at different places.

Upon hearing her compliment, the girls laughed. Penny, though thoroughly enjoying the love between the sisters, interupted them, "Come on now, Misses, it's time to head down. The party has already started. You would be expected by now."

The girls nodded and Penny took them to the stairs. From there, the girls descended by themselves. As they came down the stairs, all eyes turned to them. The three of them really looked like angels descending from the sky. Though only seven, nine and eleven, the girls were already more beautiful than most of the ladies present there. As they went down, they were praised by all present there.

Natalia went up to them and said, "Oh my beautiful babies!! You look so pretty." She went on to hold and kiss them in the cheeks.

She held Aria the longest, and said, "Aria the crown really suits you. You look like a really angel." "Thanks mom." Aria smiled and blushed.

Then her mother and father took the girls to meet some guests. Everyone complimented them on how beautiful they looked and gave Aria presents. She took them with a smile and handed them to a maid who put them on a table in the centre of the room. After they had greeted the guests, it was time to cut the cake. The butlers brought a four tier cake from inside the kitchen and put it on a table just beside the one where all the presents were piled up.

Joseph picked up Aria so that she could reach the top of the cake. Beth, Natalia and Julia stood close to them as the other guests gathered around. They all sung "Happy birthday" as Aria cut the cake. After the cake was distributed, people went to the dance floor. Aria, Beth and Julia were repeatedly asked to dance by many of the guests. After dancing continuously for six dances, Aria was dead tired. She could easily train for six to eight hours at a time, but dancing was just too tiring.
