The Time I Owned a Castle and a Prince for Hire
Last night I dreamt that my dad lost his job, so I moved back with my parents, they sold the house, and we started living in a motel in Southern California. My dad was feeling bad for me, so for my birthday/Christmas he gave me the combined present of a castle—like Hearst Castle or something. It was all decked out in red, white, and gold, which I've always thought are better Christmas colors than red and green, for a Christmas Ball that we now had to host because we owned the castle.
My biggest problem was getting a dress. Because my dad was out of a job, we had to rent a dress rather than buy one, which made it impossible to find anything modest. My aunt arrived to help me pick one out, but she really liked this purple two-piece with a tied back because it would be easy to wear something under it. The problem was that it was satiny and purple and totally out of style. I liked this strapless white dress with a red sash and a red rose pattern that went three-quarters of the way up the skirt. My mom made me wear a white shirt over it, so it looked kinda dumb.
Then there was some sort of prince or something who was going to escort me. However, it didn't really make sense.
