Tonight was the night she had been waiting for. Princess Penelope
was head over heels for Prince Patrick and she had finally persuaded
her father to allow her to attend the annual royal ball. She could hardly
wait. Upon hearing the news, Penelope had sprinted like a cheetah all the
way down to the royal dress shop to pick out the perfect dress. As she
searched through the racks, each dress seemed to shudder with
excitement, waiting to be chosen. Glancing around, Penelope’s eyes
landed on the most beautiful dress ever made. The dress was a
sparkling ruby as it reflected light from every angle. Penelope thought
the dress must be the color of Dorothy’s slippers. Trying on the dress.
Penelope knew it was meant to be worn by her. Now at the ball, her
dress swished as she passed the prince. When she turned around, she
found his eyes fixed on hers like laser beams.
