Scene that involves a character's beloved T-shirt

And the worst thing that could have happened came to pass.

As if in slow motion, Anne could see as her sister tripped and fell. The saucer with ketchup flew up in the air and, by Murphy's Law, did the only thing possible that it could do: fall face down on top of the clean laundry pile.

With the worst of luck, it fell on Anne's precious T-shirt. Just the one she was going to wear tonight for her date with John.

Anne ran down to the pile of clothes and picking up her beloved T-shirt, exclaimed in anger and frustration, "Julie!!"

Immediately, Anne tried all the homemade recipes that she knew for cleaning stains. None of them worked! They just made it worse.

The stain kept growing and changing colours. In desperation, thinking the T-shirt was already ruined, Anne put it in bleach for half an hour. Meanwhile she took a bath and wondered what she would wear for her date. John was going to pick her up at any minute and as all women, she did not have any other good clothes to go out.

After getting out of the shower, she found that Julie had tried to help: she had blow dried the T-shirt. Amazingly, the stain and all the cleaning products had morphed into quite an awesome drawing of a bird-like creature.

The door bell rang. It was John.

In a hurry, Anne put the T-shirt on and went to open the door. She smiled with relief when John looked at her and said: "What a cool T-shirt you have on."
