US Backcard Story
Buttons skipped away from the seashore, anxious to show Megan her newest shells. She found Megan at the Dream Castle, trying to finish her dress in time for the Ball that night. "What can I do to make my dress extra special?" Megan sighed. Buttons smiled at Megan, and tossed the seashells into the air. The shells burst into dazzling colors as they fell onto Megan's dress with a merry, tinkling sound. Beautiful gemstones, that matched the colors of the rainbow, sparkled all over Megan's dress. "I look like a princess!" Megan shouted happily as she tried on her dress. Then Buttons wiggled her nose and more glittering gems appeared in Megan's long, golden hair. "You'll be the belle of the ball," Buttons laughed as she waltzed off to get ready for the party.
