Purple

My white tattered dress shimmered through the lights as I twisted and twirled; watching Mom's face fade from astonishment into awe as she watched me.  I began to slide around the floor while the music blasted and the lights blinded me.  I watched in amazement as my tattered maid's dress dyed itself purple.  The dress itself was long and flowing but still stretchy.  I back-flipped; watching the lace swirl with me.  I stretched my arm over my head as my legs melted into the floor.  My sleeves, periwinkle in color, moved with the flow of the music.
