Amy was very excited.

She was going to a big birthday party on Saturday night.

There would be music dancing food on lots of new people to meet.

Amy knew she would have a great time, but what was she going toe where all her friends at school were talking about it?

Imogen and Chloe had new dresses.

Sally had expensive new jeans.

Kerry had amazing new shoes.

Mom said.

Amy, please, can I have some money to buy something new?

No, said her mother.

You have plenty of nice things.

What about your blue T shirt?

The one with a butterfly on it?

That's lovely.

Everyone else has something new, said Amy Unhappily.

I don't want to be the only one in old clothes.

It's not old, laughed her mother, and it's lovely.

I don't have the money to buy you something new.

You will have to ask your gran.

This was a good idea.

Aimee's grand loved clothes on love shopping, So Amy phoned her, and on Saturday they went to the shopping mall together.

Now said Grand.

We are here, so what do you want?

Something really nice, said Amy.

Grand laughed.

We need to know more than that, my love.

What are we looking for?

Address a tall new jeans?

I don't know, said Amy.

I will know when I see it.

Grand side.

We could have a very long day ahead of us.

You must have some idea.

What color do you fancy?

Red?

Yellow?

I don't like yellow, said Amy, though she didn't sound sure I like Blue Grand smiled.

Great.

So we start by looking for blue things.

They went into the first store and began to look at the clothes grand pulled out dresses, tops, jeans all in blue.

Do you like this love?

Or this?

Amy chose six things and went to the fitting room to try them on.

When she came out, Grand was waiting.

What did you think?

She said anything nice.

Amy shook her head.

No, the dress was quite nice, but it wasn't really special.

I want something special Grand.

I know you do my love.

It's a special party.

Don't worry.

This is just the first shop.

There are plenty of others.

Amy and her grand went into every shop on floor one.

Amy found nothing, so they took the escalator up to floor two on began again in every shop.

Amy tried on clothes.

Grand was very patient.

She never got cross.

I want you to be happy.

They changed the color from blue to red.

Still, they found nothing.

They took the escalator to floor three and had lunch grand squeezed Amy's hand.

There are five floors in this mole.

We will keep going until we find your special thing.

Aimee ate her burger and said nothing.

She was getting very tired.

But Graham was amazing.

She kept looking and never stop smiling.

They searched in all the shops on floor three, then went up to floor for, But there something snapped inside.

Amy, her heart suddenly felt very heavy.

Tears came to her eyes, and she began to cry.

Oh, love, what on earth is the matter?

I'm never going to find a grand, said Amy.

I want so much to find something special.

But nothing is right and I'm so tired.

I just want to go home.
