Eloise's Dress ( childrens story)

Eloise and her mother Elizabeth were on their way to pick out a new dress for her 5th birthday party. Eloise had to have the perfect dress. Everyone was going to be at her birthday and she had to be the center of attention. They finally arrived at the dress shop but Eloise was asleep in the back seat. Elizabeth tried talking to her to she is she would wake up.
“Eloise darling its time to wake up now, we are here.” But Eloise would not budge. They had been sitting in the parking lot for at least fifteen minutes now and Elizabeth was about to lose her patients, Eloise would not wake up. Finally Elizabeth walked around to the side of the door and pried little Eloise out of her car seat. Eloise started to wake up as her mom was carrying her into the store.
Eloise woke up fast; she could not wait to pick out the perfect dress. The store manager had already pulled a few dresses off the rack for Eloise to try on.
When Eloise was standing up on the stage with the mirrors around her she saw a something blue and sparkly out of the corner of her eye. She could not help but staring at it.
“Well that’s all the dresses I have picked out for her,” said the store manager to Elizabeth.
“WAIT!” Eloise exclaimed. I found the perfect dress. Eloise was standing right next to the blue sparkly dress. Eloise loved this dress; it matched her dark blue eyes.
“Well that dress would look lovely on you Eloise, shall we try it on?” Elizabeth admired the dress and could not wait to see her little princess all dressed up. Eloise walked out of the dressing room glowing. She was so excited that she had found the perfect dress. She hopped right up on the stage surrounded in mirrors and just admired how beautiful she looked. The store manager came back from helping another customer, she looked at Eloise.
“Oh where did you find that one?” she questioned. Except Eloise did not answer she was in he own little world and nothing could bring her out. The store manager pulled Elizabeth aside. She told her that the dress that Eloise had on was already reserved for someone else. Elizabeth looked disappointed and did not know how she was going break Eloise from this dress.
“Eloise darling, we should probably take of that dress now.” Elizabeth suggested. Elizabeth was thinking of every possible way to distract her from the amazing blue dress. Eloise walked out of the dressing room and ran up to her mother in excitement.
“Can we get it, can we get it, we are getting it right!?” Eloise could not wait to bring the dress home with her and show it off to all of her friends.
“Eloise, come over here for a second.” Elizabeth pulled her to the opposite side of the store.
“Sweetie I don’t think we can buy this dress. The nice store keeper has already found another little girl who has already bought this dress.” Eloise just stared into her mothers eyes. She did not understand what was going on until she saw the lady taking the dress into the back of the store. Eloise’s face turned the color of a cherry, her eyes stared watering and then came the death scream. Eloise was as mad as a hornet. She had to have that dress and she had to have it that second. Eloise got up and started running all around the store screaming at the top of her little lungs.
“I WANT THAT BLUE SPARKLY DRESS, I WANT IT I WANT IT!” Elizabeth did not no what to do, Eloise had temper tantrums, but they were never this bad. Eloise was running through the isles pulling dresses off the shelves throwing shoes and cloths everywhere. Eloise had gone mad she was running into the manikins and some how managed to get behind the counter and Eloise was jumping on the cash register. She looked like a crazy woman. Her hair was all messed up her face was bright red and she was defiantly not acting like a young lady.
Her mom walked up to Eloise picked her up and said “what do you think you are doing Eloise Blair Stratton, you have destroyed this whole store and embarrassed me and the store keeper. If you do not calm down, I am leaving you here all by yourself!” Eloise froze; she had never heard her mother talk to her in such a harsh tone before. Elizabeth set Eloise down on the floor. Eloise stood there just staring at her mom. Her eyes were huge and blood shot. “Listen we can either go chose another dress, or we can leave, what do you want to do?” Elizabeth had had enough for one day and if Eloise did not decide what she should do then she would be having no birthday party at all. Eloise walked up to the store keeper and said “I am very sorry for being a naughty girl, will you please help me find another dress?” The store keeper looked at Eloise, she was not sure what to do but finally she smiled at her and said,
“Yes right this way.” The store keeper told Eloise that they had the same dress that she had wanted in the same size but in a pink coral color. She showed it to Eloise. She smiled and looked at her mother,
“Can we buy this one mommy?” Eloise asked very quietly
