Sera Princess sat at her dressing table. She pulled a brush through her long black hair and started to count. “Tahi. Rua. Toro. Wha…” As she brushed her hair she examined her face in the mirror. She had her dad’s nose that’s for sure. Slightly too big for her face. A little bit squashed in. Still, a nice nose for all that. Her Mum’s eyes. Creased in the corners. Incredibly long eyelashes. Sometimes when she borrowed her Mum’s mascara she ended up with little black tracks on her face. Her Pop said they looked like ants walking down her cheeks. What was it her Nana used to say about her cheeks? That’s right. “They’re red and round like apples, girl. Just like mine” She smiled and looked down towards her mouth in the mirror. Leaning in she brushed the toast crumbs from the corners at the side of her mouth.

“Toro tekau ma whitu…” Her voice trailed off as she lifted her eyes. Well, they certainly didn’t come from anyone in her family. They were silver. “Probably from all the fish your Mum ate when she was pregnant” her Dad always laughed. “Must be the starlight from the night you were born” Granda said. Sighing she dropped her brush on the dresser and got up. Why was she feeling so restless? Why was she thinking about family? She was about to go into town to meet her friends – she should feel excited, not anxious.

“I will have fun. I will have fun.” She muttered to herself as she looked for something to wear. Clothes flew through the air. Right, was she going to go ultra girly? Pink skirt, pink shirt, pink shoes, white fluffy jacket? OR should she go a little more comfy? Jeans…pink shirt, pink shoes, white fluffy jacket?


WHICH outfit should Sera Princess choose? Ultra Girly or A Little More Comfy?
