dress looked like.”
    â€œAnd I have sparkly sandals that I wore when I was Cinderella for a fancy Halloween party,” Heather said. “Remember, Suzy? I want to wear those.”
    Suzy was sitting on her bed quietly. Aly thought that could only mean trouble.
    Brooke stood up. “Okay. No matching hair. No matching shoes. Time to talk about makeup.”
    Aly loved how her sister could go from upset to excited in seconds.
    She stood up now too. “I think Brooke’s right. Let’s look at makeup. That’s your specialty, right, Suzy? If we’re done with hair, you can show us your ideas.”
    Suzy didn’t say anything for a second. Then she slid off her bed and started walking across her room. “Yep, we’re done with hair. So let’s move this along.”
    For special occasions Suzy ran a business she had named Suzy’s Spectacular Makeup. Even though Aly and Brooke weren’t fans of the idea at first, they ended up liking it a lot. Suzy had even worked with them at the school carnival to make the Sparkle Spa booth extra successful.
    â€œWould you like to see my special makeup case?” Suzy asked, walking over to a vanity in the corner of her bedroom. “You can’t touch it, though.”
    She held up her beautiful makeup case decorated with glittery stickers. Suzy was written in script with shimmering Go for the Gold nail polish.
    As she slowly opened the case, the girls could see all kinds of sparkly products inside: glittery eye shadow in silver and gold, fairy dust powder for cheeks, lip gloss in six different colors.
    â€œLet’s get to testing,” she said. “But I’m the only one who gets to use the makeup.”
    Aly rolled her eyes, but agreed. Heather went first.
    Suzy must have practiced on her sister before, because Heather didn’t blink an eye when Suzy brushed silver eye shadow on her lids and applied hot-pink shimmer gloss to her lips.
    When it was Brooke’s turn, she was much more squirmy and ticklish.
    â€œStop moving around so much,” Suzy ordered, “or I’ll poke you in the eye.”
    Suzy chose gold eye shadow and a light pink gloss for Brooke—quite different from Heather’s look.
    In the end, everyone agreed that not matching was a better plan.

    Heather and Brooke couldn’t stop looking at themselves in the vanity mirror.
    â€œWe look gorgeous, don’t we?” Heather squealed.
    Aly had to agree—Suzy had done a good job. “What about their nails?” she asked now.
    Brooke replied, “It’s better to choose polishes at the Sparkle Spa.”
    â€œAnd not until after we know exactly what color the dresses are,” Suzy said.
    â€œWhen are we finding that out?” Aly asked. “Has Isaac told you yet?”
    â€œSaturday,” Heather said as the girls started walking downstairs. “We’re all supposed to go back to the dress store on Saturday to see if our dresses fit. That’s when we’ll get to see the surprise color.”
    That gave Aly an idea. “How about if I bring a case of nail polishes to the bridal store? We can pick out a color right there.”
    â€œGreat idea,” Heather said.
    â€œYes,” Suzy added. By this time, they were near the front door. “That’s actually a good one.”
    Wow, Aly thought. Almost a compliment from Suzy! “Okay then,” she said. “It’s a plan.”
    Waiting outside for their mom to come, Aly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the afternoon had ended up much better than it had started.
    Aly had been so pleased with how Brooke andHeather looked, she’d forgotten for a moment that she wasn’t going to be wearing makeup and walking down the aisle.
    But now . . . now she was more determined than ever to figure out a way to make that happen. Just not in a frilly, poofy dress.
