The Glittering Halls

The Royal High School sparkled with magic and anticipation. Princess Carly, with her bright blue eyes and long, golden hair, wore a stunning yellow dress as she eagerly prepared for the prom night. But to her dismay, she realized something critical – her prom dress was missing! The clock read 7:30 pm, and the prom started at 8:00 pm.

"Where could it be?" Carly wondered aloud, trying to remain calm despite the looming deadline. Her heart raced as she darted to her locker to search.

As she rummaged through her things, she noticed a mysterious glimmer behind a wall in the hallway.

"That's odd," Carly muttered to herself, inching closer to investigate.

The Glimmering Clue

Princess Carly, intrigued by the glimmer, pushed on the wall, and to her surprise, it swung open, revealing a hidden passageway. She hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside. The passage was dark, lit only by occasional flickers of strange lights on the walls. Carly’s heart pounded, but she felt a strange sense of adventure calming her nerves.

As she tiptoed further, she heard a faint giggle. Turning a corner, she came face to face with her 10-year-old sister, Maddie, who was wearing her favorite yellow dress.

"Maddie! What are you doing here?" Carly exclaimed.

Maddie smirked, "I could ask you the same thing."
