  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  There was nothing particularly special or interesting about the house (besides the fact that it was two-hundred and fifty years old), but after many weeks of deliberating I decided to go for it. It was a warm spring evening, and the moon was beginning to come out. I made my way around the side of the house and all the way to the tree beneath the window which would lead me in. Like a snake, a slithered my way up the tree. To my delight I found the window wide open. I put one foot in and then the next, until I was completely inside the bedroom.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  I took out my flashlight and fumbled through the room; in fact, I was looking for the light switch. I turned the light on and looked around the room. It looked like â€Å"The Bombay Company† had come and decorated the place. To the left of the door right next to the closet was a glass rack full of every perfume imaginable, and beneath that was a circular table full of exported lotions. No wonder the room smelled so good; it was a shrine to â€Å"Bath and Body Works†. I first went to the closet. Behind the massive waves of clothing I found countless boxes of shoes, but it wasn’t what I was looking for. I proceeded to search all the drawers, but all I found was hoards of makeup, nail polish, and one whole drawer dedicated to shampoos. I thought to myself â€Å" What's wrong with this girl? Why does she have so much of everything? What is she saving away all this stuff for, in case the malls of America burn down?† I started jumping up and down on her bed in an attempt to see what was on top of the bookshelf, but there was still no sight of what I was looking for. I plopped down on her bed; it was very soft. I lay my head down on her pillow and inhaled the sweet scent of â€Å"she†. It was a mix of â€Å" Pear-berry†, â€Å"Pantene Pro V’†, with a hint of â€Å"Angel†.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã¢â‚¬Å"So this is where she sleeps every night!† I exclaimed.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  I heard a noise outside and fell of the bed. I was relieved to find that it was only a passing car; undoubtedly, I needed to work quick. I rolled over and to my disbelief there it was! Between her mattress and the headboard was the one thing I have always wanted.
