I finally set foot in my town again, after such a long time. It was almost evening by the time we reached the airport.

" Well, Oakdale hasn't changed much. Still the same old "

" Oh please, we have been gone for like maybe three weeks, what grand changes do you expect ??"

" Quit bickering you two"

" Mom we aren't bickering, we are discussing." We say at the same time and burst out laughing.

She sighed and got busy with her call about the fundraiser ball event. I still do not understand why is she so interested in this ball thing. We were waiting for the car to arrive and I was gazing off into space yet again.

We reach our place after a short drive from the airport. , on the way we came across my favorite place in this whole town 'COCO'S BAR & GRILL'. It's the perfect place to hang out, from milkshakes to cocktails they had it all. Our house is at the other end of the town. Our house is let's say big and beautiful and I swear I'm not even exaggeration like I usually do. It's huge and very ancient or so I was told by grandmother. You know what's the best part ???

We have secret rooms and chambers in our home. Can you believe that ?? Nah, well you gotta because it's true. There is a secret channel from my room to my sisters. Cool right !!?

It was always fun coming to my granny's place when we were kids because we get to discover all these secrets and pretend we were princesses. Well, unfortunately, my granny died a few years back and we have been living here since then, I couldn't ask for a better place to live though, it's just perfect. Especially the West wing, it overlooks the forest which was conveniently just a few miles behind our home. I love that place and I usually go there when I'm depressed or in a sour mood. My sister and I live on the second floor close to the west wing and my parents in the east wing. There are 2 staircase's that leads to the terrace where we are prohibited from going. My mom says " it's narrow and that it is quite dangerous ." but I highly doubt that.

And the only reason I never went there because my granny warned me not to go and I maybe kinda promised her so... Recently I discovered a tunnel that leads directly to the ballroom, near the west wing.

The squealing of tires brought me back from my daydreams. We reached finally.

We made our way towards the main entrance Mr Clark our servant attends to the luggage. The smell of roasted pot chicken hits my nose and I go around sniffing the air. Seems like Mrs Clark made her signature dish for us. Oh how much I missed her food. Mrs Clark is our chief chef, anything she touches turns delicious. I follow the smell of the chicken and end up in the kitchen. I jump up in the air and exclaim when I see that the food was already set and ready to be served.

" No touching the food without changing your clothes " came the stern warning from my mom.

" Oh, It's the roasted pot chicken. I'm famished !!" My dad exclaimed ready to dig in.

" OH no dear, not without getting cleaned."

" But its THE roasted pot chicken, I'm having it this instant no matter what," he said and already dug into the food.

Well, this is why I love my Dad more. He is just like me or I'm more like him. I slowly sneak around my mom and join my dad at the table. Helping myself, I start eating and my mom mumbles something like ' Like father Like daughter ' and ends up joining us at the table. after a scrumptious meal, we all head back towards our respective rooms.

I hop on the stairs with Ingrid a few steps ahead, we cross the first floor where My Dad's study and my Mom's workplace were situated. The floor had french windows which overlooked our courtyard and the view was splendid. We took a right and headed on to the stair leading to the second floor. I went over to the west wing back to my favourite place. I opened the balcony doors and let the cool breeze fill my lungs.

Ah, just how must I missed it.

" Back here again ?? "

" Yeah well, I missed this place."

" Oh God You are acting so sentimental, is it your time of the month again ??"

"No. Is it wrong for a girl to love her home ."

" Well Nah. By the way, Mom is heading out. Something about that ball I believe ."

" This late ??"

" She is a grown up ."

I give her a confused look, since when did Ingrid start talking like this ??

" Her words not mine ."

" OH " Well better.

" What do you say let's go shopping tomorrow for a ball fit dress ??"

" Don't we already have many "

"An excuse for shopping is always supposed to be welcome ."

" OKay sisssi. But ..."

" No buts, now go sleep we have a long day tomorrow."

" Umm... Good night ."

I sleepily walk to my room and crash on my bed, I get up next day in the morning -- er noon when I hear someone pounding on my door.

" Liliiii get up. "

" Go away Iddy. "

" We were supposed to go shopping, get uppp."

Oh god, this woman shouts too much. With my dear sleep already disappearing, I finally decide to get up.

I get up and lazily brush my teeth, have a shower because Ingrid is constantly shouting and not letting me in peace. And hastily wear my clothes which is usually jeans and tees or the occasional summer dresses.

I finally get out of my room, to see that Ingrid is actually pacing out in front of my room.

" Took you long enough, now come let"s have breakfast ."

Sometimes I wonder if she is even my twin.

After a hurried breakfast, We leave for shopping. We go to the centre of the town where most of the malls are situated. We immediately run into our favourite mall and scream "The last one is the rotten egg ." We always do that, Don't ask why. It all started when we were kids and had a race in the mall.

Well, currently we had a race at our favourite shop on the third floor. "Blitz and Glitz.", which has my kind of dresses and iddys too. We literally shopped til we dropped. We later on ahead to our favourite ice cream parlour and I Order my all-time favourite " Death By chocolate' and Ingrid has her usual 'Willi Wonka'. On our way home we came across the Mayor's home and saw that the decorations for tomorrow's Party were in full swing. I saw my mom in her usual bubble. We go in and see that it's decorated quite grandly.

For a small town, they sure know how to party.
