The dressing room buzzed with energy, the air thick with perfume and excitement.
Rows of mirrors lined the walls, reflecting the image of Lily and Maya as they stood side by side, putting the finishing touches on their looks for the Moonlight Dance.
They were all smiles as they took their time to make sure they looked more beautiful than they have been all year.
This was supposed to be a very special day for both of them and they wanted to look the part.
Lily wore a flowing, deep red gown that hugged her figure perfectly, the fabric shimmering under the dressing room lights.
Her long, dark curls fell down her back, and the delicate silver necklace around her neck added the final touch of elegance.
Maya, standing next to her, looked just as stunning in a sapphire blue dress, the off-shoulder sleeves giving her a regal appearance.
Her short, dark hair was styled in loose waves, and her makeup was jaw dropping.
Lily sighed, taking in their reflections.
"We actually made it, Maya."
