6:21 - 17 December, Sloane St, Knightsbridge, London.

'Charlotte!' Rose went into Charlotte's room and sat next to her 'Today is the function that I have been talking to you the whole week and I want you to come with your parents, I got 3 free tickets so the grandparents can't come' Charlotte turned way for keep eye contact with her aunt 'It's going to be on the Queen's Theater and you must come!!' she hits her niece with a pillow.

'I know I know!! but I don't have clothes for go to a theater...' She yawn and cover his mouth with her hand 'This Holidays I took the small handbag'

'I took the dress that you used on the son's neighbor christening' said the mother of Charlotte from the bathroom.

'Oh shit, I hate that dress..' Charlotte whisper.

'If you promise to come,' Rose put her right hand on her chest and the left one on the air 'I promise that after the function, we will go out for shopping and do whatever you want!' Rose get on her knees and start begging to Charlotte 'Please!! Come with me!!'

'Okay!' she sigh 'But as a reminder, you woke me up at 6:20!'

'YES!' the aunt make a mini dance 'And you better got up early for get ready and do whatever you want... Anyway, the function it's at 10:30 am, please do not arrive late, I love you' And Rose left closing the door and letting Charlotte on her room.

Charlotte got up and look out of her window, the tree of the neighbor was right in front of her window so she could even touch the branches. She turned her head and watch the street, it wasn't busy, but she new that the traffic was going to be a disaster if she wanted to arrive to the theater on time.

She decided to take a shower before breakfast, thing that she never had done before. When she went downstairs, she prepared her typical breakfast, a glass of cold milk with a spoon of honey and some toast just butter on top. Before she sat on the chair, she took the newspaper from the living room. She loved to read it because she always founded new words that she had never read before and it was free, meanwhile in Spain, she must had to paid for it.

'Apple-Knocker' she underlined the word with a pencil 'Flatline and... This one, Tellurian' She took her phone and started looking for the words on the dictionary when her grandmother when into the kitchen.

'What are you doing awake so early honey?' she took a cup and prepare a tea.

'Rose woke me up' Charlotte left the phone, staring at Marie 'Grandma, have you ever hear about the word Tellurian?'

'It sounds familiar to me... but I have no idea, ask Jeffrey' she turned off the gas and served herselft tea with some milk.

'Grandpa!!' Charlotte went out of the kitchen and walk to the living room 'Do you know the meaning of the word Tellurian?'

'Hum, I think I had heard about it before... I think It's related to the Earth, so It's probably the habitant of the Earth or something like that, if I'm not wrong' slurp his tea and continue with the sudoku of the previous day newspaper.

'You are so much cleaver grandpa...' Charlotte took notes on the newspaper and when upstairs. 'Mum, where is the dress' she appeared on her father's room.

'I left it on your bed, and hurry up, it's 8:40 and you haven't at least clean your room' her mother continue making up her face in front of the mirror.

'Bla bla bla' Charlotte when into the room and put some of her music on the laptop. While she was dancing, she was choosing the shoes, the tights, the purse...

'Come on Charlotte, you must hurry up we want to see the show of your aunt,' yells Mark, Charlotte's father 'And you better than nobody knows how angry she use to get when something do not goes the way that she wants'

'I know dad, I'll be downstairs in a few minutes'

'We don't have "a few minutes" honey,' said her mother while she was tying her husband tie 'I told you that you was going to be late. You better take the tube, we will call a cab and make some things before going to the show'

'How am I supposed to get into the tube like this?,' she went out of her room and stand in front of the stairs 'I look like a little girl from a kindergarten, I am not even sure of going to the show, even less for get into the tube like this' she replies before getting into her room again.

'Oh girl, you don't look that bad,' said Jeffrey.

'Don't believe them, you look horrible,' said Marie, the grandmother, then she went into her room 'I think I have the dress that I took for my 18 birthday.. 'she left her bedroom and went into Charlotte's room holding a yellow dress that she used on her youth. A spring dress. The long of the skirt show her knees and the sleeves were long enough to cover her upper arm 'Here it's, the same as the first time'

'Charlotte, do whatever you want,' Sophie finished tying Mark's tie 'Me and your father are going to take a cab because we have to solve some problems at the lawyer, see you on the theater'

'Uhh... okay,' Charlotte looked at the dress 'It does not look bad actually... Do you think it will fit me? Don't you have any girdle or corset for my belly?...'

'Yes, of course I have girdles, I am a woman, but you must try it and then you will tell me how does it look father 50years' Marie gave her grandchild the yellow dress and a black girdle.

'50 years? Am I that old?' Jeffrey laugh 'Anyway, I had to admit that you looked gorgeous inside of it, my dear love' he continues doing his sudoku.

'OKAY,' Charlotte yells 'I don't want to hear anything else about that topic' she laugh and locked the door of her room 'I will be there in a few minutes.'
