“Naya thank God I found you” Zara sighed in relief as she saw her sister Naya.
“What? Do you need anything?” Naya asked curiously as Zara shook her head affirmatively.
“Yeah, actually I’m going out with Vlad and I need to choose a dress to wear,” Zara informed Naya.
Naya’s face lit up in excitement, her sister’s news piquing her interest. At least, that would distract her from the conversation she had with Rhea.
“Vlad?” she asked, raising her eyebrows with a mischievous grin.
“He finally asked you out, huh? I knew he was into you.”
Zara blushed, her hand going to her face in a flustered gesture.
“Well, he didn’t exactly ask me out,” she said, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
“It’s just a friendly outing. Like a tour”
Naya laughed, her eyes dancing with mirth. “Oh, I see” she muttered.
“Oh, a ‘friendly outing’ is it?” Naya teased, her voice playful.
“Well, you’re still going to want to look your best. You never know where a friendly outing might lead.”
Zara rolled her eyes, a hint of a smile on her lips. “Thanks for the vote of confidence,” she said, gesturing towards her room.
“By the way, I love the new look” she admired Naya’s new hairstyle.
“Thanks, Kiera helped with it,” naya informed as they both headed to Zara’s room.
Zara nodded, impressed.
“Kiera’s really good at hair,” she said, gesturing for her sister to take a seat on her bed. “I’m sure you’re going to turn heads wherever you go with that style.”
Naya blushed, a smile on her face. “Thanks, sis,” she said, her hand running through her freshly styled hair. “Kiera’s a pro.”
Zara laughed, opening her closet to reveal the bee set of clothes that Naya had gifted her before.
“So what do you think I should wear?” She questioned as Naya’s eyes scanned the closet.
Naya’s eyes scanned the wardrobe, her gaze alighting on the outfits. A mischievous grin crossed her face.
“Hmmm,” she said, tapping her chin thoughtfully.
“I think you should go with the bee-themed dress and accessories. You know, to show Vlad that you’re the queen bee.” She teased.
Zara’s face flushed, a mix of embarrassment and amusement crossing her features.
“Oh come on Naya, be serious” she pouted.
“I want something giving and matured”
Naya laughed, her hands on her hips as she surveyed Zara’s wardrobe. “Alright, alright, no more jokes,” she said, her voice turning serious.
“I think you should go with the little black dress. It’s classic, sophisticated, and sexy. Vlad won’t be able to take his eyes off you.”
Zara considered the suggestion, a thoughtful expression on her face.
“You think so?” she asked, picking up the little black dress and holding it against her body.
Naya nodded, her eyes gleaming with confidence.
“Yeah, it will do great” Naya nodded in agreement.
Naya smiled, a proud expression on her face.
“There’s something timeless about a little black dress,” she said, gesturing to the dress Zara was holding.
“It’s simple, yet elegant. Classic, yet sexy. You’ll be the belle of the ball… or should I say, the bee of the ball.”
Zara laughed, rolling her eyes. “Thanks, sis,” she said, her voice filled with warmth. “I appreciate the help… and the jokes.”
Naya winked, her smile still in place. “Anytime, Zara,” she said.
“And that show would definitely go with it!” She pointed at a black heel.
“Yes!” Naya exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with excitement.
“Those heels will be perfect. The height will give you a little extra confidence, and the black will match the dress beautifully.”
Zara nodded, slipping on the heels and walking around her room to test them out. “These are surprisingly comfortable,” she said, a hint of surprise in her voice.
“That’s why I picked them out,” Naya said, standing up and walking over to her sister.
“They’re both stylish and comfortable. You can’t go wrong with that combination.”
“Thank you so much sis. I really appreciate” Zara mouthed. Genevieve did not agree to help her, thank goodness she found Naya on time.
“You’re welcome, Zara,” Naya said, a smile on her face.
“Zara nodded, her cheeks flushing a deep pink. “I hope so,” she said, a hint of nerves in her voice. “I just… I don’t want to mess this up. I really like him.”
Naya’s smile softened, a look of understanding crossing her face. “You won’t mess this up,” she said, her voice sincere.
“Just be yourself and be calm, but what exactly are you doing with him?” Naya grilled.
“He’s showing me round shadowvale ” Zara replied, checking herself in the mirror once more.
“And you’re putting on this dress. I thought it was dinner” Naya giggled.
Zara’s face turned a shade of crimson, and she laughed awkwardly.

“Go for something more simple, the heels are really not necessary ” Naya reasoned as they were going to be walking around.
“You’re right,” Zara agreed, nodding her head. “I wouldn’t want to be hobbling around the town in these heels.”
She turned to her closet, quickly scanning her shoe collection. “How about these ballet flats?” she asked, pulling out a pair of black leather flats.
“Perfect!” Naya said, nodding her head in approval. “They’ll still look classy with the dress, but they won’t kill your feet.”
Zara slipped on the flats, wiggling her toes for comfort. “These are much better,” she said, a satisfied smile on her face.
“Thanks sis” she hugged her sister.
Naya hugged her back, her smile genuine.
“You’re welcome, Zara,” she said, pulling away from the embrace. “Now, go out there and have a good time. I expect a full report when you get back!”
Zara laughed, rolling her eyes. “I’ll do my best,” she said, her voice filled with anticipation.
