At the door was my best friend, Liliana Haddock! “Lily!! What are you doing here? I thought you were visiting family!” I exclaimed. “Yup, we were, and we got back two days ago! My mom thought we could go school shopping together!” Lily said. “Mom, dad, can I go with her?” I asked them. “Well, if Lily’s parents go, then you may go with her.” Dad replied. “Oh, yes, yes, YES! We’ll be home by six p.m.! Love you!” I said, rushing out the door with Lily. *** We were now in Downtown Seabrook! Lily wanted to go wand shopping first. We got great ones! “Sooooooooo…what house you want to get into?” Lily asked me as we walked into the Candy Shoppe. “Hmmmmm…Mom was in Oceania, but Dad was in Seawedia. But there is also Urchina, which is a bad one, and Seagulania. I think I want to get into Oceania.” I replied very matter-of-factly. “Haha! That was a lot of speaking you just did. I want to get into Oceania, too! The robes are SO pretty! C’mon, let’s go get robes right now!” Lily told me. We rushed off to go get robes before the employees ended their shifts. Then the grumpy ones would come out. “Lily, my stomach is already in knots! We board the train tomorrow!” I said, whimpering. “Hey, Paris, Paris, don’t worry! We’re going to ride together AND get into the same house. It’s gonna be fine!” Lily warmly said to me. We bought our robes and started to head home.
