"You really did that for me." Shannon said.

"You’re my big sister of coarse I did." Jess said.

Shannon stood in front of the mirror and straightened her suit.

"You look all grown up." Bette said standing in the doorway to Shannon and Angelica’s room.

"Thanks" Shannon said with a smile.

"Hillary is here." Bette said.

"She’s early." Shannon said picking up a pair of earrings out of her jewelry box.

"I have something for you." Bette said holding out a small wrapped box.

"You didn’t have to." Shannon said.

"It’s just a little something. I want you know that I so very proud of you. You are making your dream come true in a very important way." Bette said while Shannon was unwrapping her gift.

"I just hope it makes a difference. Wow Mom its beautiful." Shannon said pulling a necklace with a silver pendant with Shannon initials and a couple small stars on it.

"You like it?" Bette asked.

"I do. An the inscription is perfect." Shannon said.

"Well I borrowed that." Bette said.

"Shoot for the moon even if you fail you’ll land among the stars." Shannon read the back of the pendant.

"In my opinion you have already passed the moon and on your way to some other planet." Bette said as she started to tear up.

"Thanks Mom." Shannon said as she put the necklace on. Bette helped her.

"I still don’t understand why you don’t want to go." Josie said in the hallway.

"Nana I just don’t, and it’s not that I don’t love you or Papa, or the family. I just don’t like big family things." Jess said.

"You have to have a reason. Just give me one good reason and I will let it go." Josie said.

Their voices were moving around. Bette and Shannon looked at each other.

"How long has that been going on?" Shannon asked because she had been at school expect for the first night they were there.

"Since she got here. And every time Jess steps cross that fence they get into it." Bette said.

"Do you know why Jess doesn’t want to go?" Shannon asked.
