Cowabelle Makes a Peace Offering

*Sigh* I’ve been thinking about how badly I behaved with Millie today and I am starting to wonder which one of us is really the little kid here. I know I should have been more mature. I guess a part of me is still hurting about the fact that Millie is Queen of the Easter Parade and not me. But that’s no excuse for behaving the way I did and Millie was right to fire me.

So today I took one of my most precious possessions over to Millie and Molly’s house to make a peace offering to her. Once, when I was a little younger, I took part in a beauty pageant and I actually won! Maybe that was why I was so anxious to be Queen of the Parade. I was remembering how good it felt to have all that attention showered on me. Anyway, now it’s Millie’s turn, so I offered her the tiara that I won in the pageant. I thought it would be perfect for her to wear during the Parade.

At first Millie was still mad but when she saw the tiara glittering in my hand I could see her eyes light up. She was so excited and she agreed to forgive me for the way I behaved. Then I placed the tiara on her head and turned her around to look at the mirror in her front hall. You should have seen the look on her face!

I am glad that I didn’t get to be Queen of the Parade because if I did, I never would have been able to make Millie feel the way she did at that moment. Seeing her face when she saw her reflection in the mirror made it all worth it!
