 Selena sighed in exasperation; "I told you how important today is, sweetheart. I want all of you to look nice, not just you, dear. Now, Please keep your brother from getting messy while I handle your sister, okay?"

 "...Yes, Momma,"" the little girl replied with a bored expression.

 Selena smiled softly at her; "Thank you, Serenity."
