Anna's pov*****

"No sis I'll be there in five minutes I promise!" I hung up the phone while I ran across the airport. Shit shit shit shit. I'm late!!

"Taxi!" A taxi stopped in front of me and I placed my luggage in the trunk and got on.

"Where miss?"

" 127 Beverly avenue drive in L.A please" the driver nodded and began to drive. Nikki will kill me if I miss out her ceremony. I looked at my watch, 6:34. I have exactly six minutes to get there. Just great! I'm sooooo late. I won't make it in time.

"We're here miss." I handed the man the money, grabbed my things and ran up the the front door. Once unlocked I walked in.

"IM HERE!" I said in between breaths.

"You're late.." I rolled my eyes at my sister. "Love you too seira my trip was awesome and the plane didn't crash and I arrived safely thanks for asking"

Ugh. I looked at my watch. 8:25. Nikki is going to be pissed.

"Where's nikki?" I asked. Seira looked at me then back at her magazine.

"She's upstairs. And she's upset"

I sighed. I walked upstairs and knocked on Nikki's door. No response. I quietly opened the door and saw Nikki laying down on her bed on her laptop and listening to music. I walked in and sat next to her.

"Hey sis"

Nikki looked at me. I could see she was upset. "Hey.."

I sighed, "I'm sorry I couldn't make it sis I really am. It's just that all the planes were booked and this was the only one I could get. I'm really sorry."

Nikki looked at me then sighed. "It's ok I guess."

I pouted, "you guess?" I then remembered something, " omg look at the dress I got you from Milan! I got you and everyone else so many things!" I grabbed Nikki by the arm making her get up and follow me downstairs where I had left all my things.

"Look!" I pulled out a gorgeous green knee length dress from my bag. It had a loose flowing skirt with lace on the bottom, long loose sleeves with a lacy trim at the end, and a neckline that stopped at the collarbone but exposed the back. It was simple but very pretty.

"Isn't it gorgeous?! Go try it on I wanna see it on you!" I said squealing and bouncing up and down like a hyped two year old.

"Seira! Celeste! Zaida! Come downstairs I have something for you!" I yelled trying to get my sisters attention.

Zaida came down first obviously hyped about her present. "Ooo did you get me something from Milan?"

I nodded and took out another dress. This dress was floor length with an opening on the side of the leg. It had a goldish tan color with gold colored floral designs and black trimming on the edge. It looked similar to a Japanese kimono but was more of a mermaid fit dress instead of a loose kimono. It had two inch wide straps and a loose turtle neck.

Zaida gasped, "this is so pretty! Thanks sis!"

"You better not have gotten me a dress, you know I don't like them.." I turned to Celeste who was sitting on a sofa looking at me.

I rolled my eyes at her, "I got you this." I pulled out an outfit I knew she would love. It was a strapless black blouse with lace trimming, cute designer jeans and gorgeous black high heeled boots with a cute belt design around the calf part. I saw celeste's eyes light up.

"I like this! And the shoes holy crap they're gorgeous!" I laughed, "go try the outfit on." Celeste nodded and left to try the outfit on. Seira was just walking down the stairs when Celeste left.

"Well she looks happy." Seira said sitting down on the floor next to me.

I laughed, "I got you this," I said pulling out a cute necklace set. It was a necklace with a gold chain in a spider web sort of design with black and violet gem stones laced I the chain. The earrings were long hanging chains with the same gems on the top where the hook of the earring was. It also had a golden bracelet with the black and violet gems placed as a pattern on it.

"Wow thanks, I like them they're really pretty." Seira said looking at the set happily.

I smiled, "love the haircut by the way."

Seira blushed, "thanks." She had cut her hair in a bob style, short in the back but longer towards the front. I really liked it.

Nikki came downstairs along with Celeste both wearing the outfits I got them. Nikki seamed to have matched the dress I have her with her brown high heeled boots. I smiled In Approval. "I like them! Isn't your sister a genius??" Celeste rolled her eyes at me. "Sure a genius." She smirked and I threw a pillow at her playfully and she stuck her tongue out at me.

"Hey Seira didn't they say it was supposed to be sunny this whole week?" I heard Zaida say.

I looked out the window. Rain.

That's odd, it doesn't rain much in California. Not much later it started thundering.

"Thunderstorms? This isn't supposed to happen.."

"Well then Seira I think the weatherman has lied to us once again!" I laughed while I looked through the window and to the raining sky. I looked at the clock again, 12:34. Damn it's late. I yawned, the trip finally taking a toll on me. "Girls we should go get some rest. I'm exhausted."

Seira yawned in approval and we all left to our rooms. But we never made it. One loud lightning hit, causing the lights to go out.

And I blacked out.
