"Miyu, you have mail. It's from the school," called her mother from the dining room table.
"Thanks Mum!" Miyu pulled her navy blue turtleneck over her head and ran down the stairs. She picked up the envelope and open it quickly and messily.
"Well, what does it say?"
"I got the scholarship! I'm going to Endo!" she danced around before she saw her mother's disapproving look. She stopped in her tracks and silently took her seat. They ate thier meal in silence expect for the occasional "Mmm, delicious" from Miyu.

"I don't understand why you have to jet off to Endo when the schools here are perfectly acceptable."
"Mum, it's not about the school. It's about the opportunity to experience another town. I've never been out of the province before. You've never let me travel before," Miyu said, trying not to sound bitter. "You don't need to worry about a thing. My accomedation and tution is looked after. I'll be fine."
"I'm your mother, it's my job to worry about you," she said with a smile. "Now, brush that hair of yours. It's frightful! I do wish you'd at least do something about those bangs," she teased.
"I know Mum, I know."

Challenge #276 (February 16th 2009)
Option 1: All in white

Miyu didn't know why she insisted on dressing up for someone who couldn't even see her, but she did anyway. She straightened her bangs, something her mother was always pressuring her to do for school, but she never did. Not school. But for Ko, well, she had to look nice for Ko. Not that he knew how much effort she was putting into looking special. She felt sort silly about the whole thing, but it got her in the mood. She twisted her golden-brown hair around her finger nervously as she scearched for her satsuma-scented lipgloss, the one that made her lips look fuller and sparkle. Carefully, she slid on a ruffled white sundress, checked her appearance in one of her compact mirriors.

"Good to go," she whispered. Quickly glancing around, she confirmed that she was all alone. She flipped open the laptop and signed in.

Ko says: Hello Femi. How are you?
Femi says: I'm fine, Ko. Sorry it took me so long to get online.
Ko says: No need to aplogise, sweetie. Waiting just makes me want to talk to you more.
Femi says: Well, in that case, maybe we should wait a bit longer. ;)
Ko says: Oh Femi, you're such a tease.

Miyu chatted until she heard the sound of a key turning the lock.
Femi says: I have to go Ko, someone's coming.
Ko says: That's too bad. ): Until tomorrow, little Femi. Kisses and Hugs.
Femi: If I don't see you, good morning, good evening and good night.

"Miyu, why are you all dressed up?" her mother asked when she came down the stairs.
"Just felt like it Mum."
"Well, I wish you would 'just feel like' doing it for school. You can look so nice and put together when you put some effort into it. Life isn't just getting good grades you know," her mother wagged a finger in her face.
"I know Mum," Miyu whispered, her thoughts on the boy she only knew by screen-name. "I know."

“All done in there, apprentice?” Master Mordred asked as he opened the door ever so slightly. After an affirmative sound from inside, he flung open the door and Ethel heard him take a sharp intake of air.

“What?” she asked as she turned around. There, wearing a tailored trench coat, was Mordred, his mouth opened like he wanted to say something but didn’t remember how to speak. “Well,” Ethel began, “How do I look?” She put her hands on hips and Mordred found himself noticing how feminine and delicate her hands looked in those evening gloves.

“You look fabulous,” he said, finding the words to say. “You really look like an adult woman all dressed up like that. Now come on, we should get going; Rudolf will be expecting us to arrive soon.”

“How are we getting there? Isn’t he in the tropics?”

“Yes, he is. We’ll be travelling my way,” Mordred said, a sly smile spreading onto his face.

“Oh good!” Ethel said excitedly, clapping her hands together. “So I’ll finally get to see how you-“  Mordred put a handkerchief to her mouth and she lost consciousness.

“Sorry poppet, but that’s something you learn later,” he said as he carefully picked her up and carried her like a bride through a strange portal.

Ethel reappeared in her room and fell over onto her double bed. She felt dizzy and queasy, she hadn’t yet gotten the hang of projection and Alwyn didn’t like it when she was simply an illusion in her dreams. But really being there with her leman and actually holding her was worth the temporary disorientation. A sudden noise broke her concentration. ‘I have got to stop daydreaming so much, it’s not healthy’ she thought.
