“Wow, what a beautiful morning. I should make some coffee.” Says Laura as she awakens from her sleep.

She slips her feet into her slippers and heads to the bathroom. She took a look into the mirror ang chuckled “That’s not so pretty haha, I’ll clean up after some hot morning coffee.”

Laura makes her way to the kitchen and puts on a small pot of coffee for herself. She flicks on the television to watch her morning show and out of now were this loud banging noise comes from the back bedroom. Laura is shocked and calls out for her dog to see if he’s alright. She heard no answer but a slight whimper came from where she heard the bang. She proceeds to walk to the back bedroom and open the door.

“Colt, you silly boy. Hold on, let me get you out of there.” She had found her German Timberwolf tangled up in all her old high school dresses. “Damn, it’s been awhile since I put these babies on, maybe I’ll have my own little fashion show.”

Laura gets Colt all untangled and then goes back to the kitchen. “You smell that boy, that’s mommies morning gogo juice.” She says with a giggle.

She makes herself a real quick cup and heads outside to smell the fresh Sunday morning air. She lets colt out and hooks him up to his lead, takes a seat in her patio swing and lights up a cigarette. She takes a couple drags and sips her coffee, she then pulls out her phone and calls some friends of hers.

“Ring,Ring Ring”. “Hey girl wassup?” Says the lady on the other end of the line. “Hey Maddie, I walked into my back room today and found all my old high school dresses, was wondering if you wanted to round up the whole gang and have like a throw back fashion show lol?” Asks Laura. “Omg girl that sounds totally awesome! Let me hit some people up and I’ll be over in an hour or 2 with everything and everyone. Call you later Love you girl!” Says Maddie as she blows and kiss and hangs up.

“Okay, one to two hours I better start tidying up.” She finishes her cigarette and heads back inside. She grabs another cup of coffee. “Alright, lets throw on some jams and get this house cleaned, woohoo!”

Laura heads to her hallway closet to grab the broom and dustpan to start sweeping. “Clink,clank,clunk” “ Gosh it’s so crowded in here! Why do I need so many cleaning supplies.!?” Frustrated she gets the supplies out and proceeds to clean the whole house in less than 1 hour.

“Wow, plenty of time to spare, guess I’ll go take that shower and clean myself up like I said I would lol.”

Some time later...

Laura hops out of the shower and wraps the towel around herself and head to her room.

“I need to wear something easy to slip on and off for the fashion show. Oh! This will work.” She finds a loose fitting romper and sleeps it on after putting her undergarments on.

“Oh would you look at the time, it’s 10:35. Maddie and them should be here any minute. Laura rushes downstairs and hears her phone ringing. She rushes to it outside where she left it and picks it up.

“Hello?” She says. “Hey girl. It’s Maddie. I got everyone from the old high school crowd! They were thrilled that you are doing this haha. They even brought some of there old dresses and clothes. Anyway we’ll be there in about 15 minutes.” Shouts Maddie with absolute joy. “Well that’s awesome Maddie. I will see you guys soon love you!” Laura says as she hangs up.

She then lights up a smoke and waits for her friends to show up to get the party started.

“Knock, Knock, Knock”

“They’re here!” Laura says with excitement.
