The Shower Without Water

I had just won my basketball game!!!
    I ran home. I only had 1 hour to get ready for my friend Kelsey's birthday party.
    My brother was in the shower taking his time, as usual. Finally, the door opened and my brother emerged from the bathroom.
    It took him 30 minutes to shower and I only had 30 minutes left.
    My head was spinning! How could I be done in time for the party? Could anything else go wrong? I turned the water on… nothing came out!
    This could not be happening to me! This was the biggest night of my life. Not only was I going to a friend's party but it was also the place I was meeting the cutest guy in the class, Jimmy.
    What should I do? I came up with a plan. I would have to get dressed without taking a shower.
    I hurried into my mom's bedroom and put on her deodorant and perfume. This was my lifesaver.
    Time was ticking away. I only had 5 minutes to spare; so I threw on my best jeans and sweater and headed off to the party.
    As I entered Kelsey's house, I saw Jimmy across the room. As we headed towards each other, I noticed Jimmy was looking down at the floor. I asked him what was wrong.
    He said, "I was running late because of my basketball game and when I got home my sister had used up all the water so I couldn't take a shower..."
