Love was saying, "I don't know how much more I can keep this up." Love is 13 years old and has a foster mom and has two foster sisters. Her mom and dad were on their way to her ballet and they were late. They were in such a hurry that they ran a red light. A semi hit them and they both died. Love was only ten years old when it happened. She went to an orphanage a week later. That is how she got her foster mom and sisters. They made her do all of their chores like clean her room, sweep the floors, fold the clothes. That's what they made her do for a whole three years. She had to clean up after her sisters' parties and she would have to sleep in the basement on the floor. They all had moved into Love's parents house. Love had had rich parents and she had $3,000 in the bank but their foster mom would not let her touch it, so she didn't have many things.
Love didn't talk very much after her mom and dad died. The only things she talked to were the mice in the basement and sometimes it looked like they talked back. One day when love was washing the dishes she heard a loud knock at the back door, she went to answer the door but their sisters came over and said, "Get working while we get the door!" Love got back to work and the sisters got the door but it was just the mail, they said. When looking through the mail, they found one for Love and then tore it up. Love had always gotten mail from her friends at school but her sisters did the same thing to those letters too. When the two sisters opened their mail their mouths dropped open. The two sisters yelled that they were invited to one of the president's parties. They yelled in Love's face saying, "We're invited and your not." Love said calmly, " I think you just tore mine up."
Love wanted to go to one of these parties more than anything, but she kept this to herself. Love went back to washing dishes. When she was done she dug the torn letter out of the garbage. Love took the torn up letter and some tape down to the basement. She pieced the letter together. It was an invitation to go to the party. The party was tomorrow. The two sisters went shopping the second they got the letter. They bought new dresses and high heels. "This is the day," said the sisters as they got into their Volkswagen. Love had nothing to do as the two sisters drove off to the party. Love said, "I wish I could go to the party." Then a fairy godfather fell down the chimney. "I thought you only lived in fairy tales!" said Love.
"I'm here, baby," said Love's fairy godfather. "Well, do you want to go the party or not?"
"Yes!" said Love.
So he turned her old sweatshirt and jeans into a beautiful dress made with red, black, and white silk. Love said she hated dresses but the fairy godfather said he was doing her a big favor so she should live with it. He turned a pop can into a full size Mercedes and Love hopped into the drivers seat. The fairy godfather told her to be back at 12 o'clock as she drove off to the party.
When she got there the party was just starting. She walked in and
everything stopped and everybody turned to look at her. The president's
son ran over to greet her. He did not leave her side and they talked and
danced for the whole night. when the clock turned to midnight, the dress
turned back into an old sweatshirt and jeans, her car turned back into a
pop can. She tried to run but not fast enough. She got caught by the
president's son, who liked her for just being her, and asked if she wanted
to go out on a date. So they did and only four years later they were married.
