Darkness's Flower: Pulling It Together

Chapter 41: Two Hours and Nothing?

~Lilly~

Gabby, Ash, and I walked into the bridal shop. They were obviously way overly excited and I'm over here kinda sad because I'm not looking for my dress. But I can't be like that. These are my two best friends.

"Alright. So Gabs, what style dress do you want?" I asked.

Her face lit up. "Something really puffy and pretty. But I want it to be one of those sweetheart neckline sort of deals."

"Alright. Ash?"

Ash smiled. "Something mermaid with a nice flare. But nothing super mermaid. Just maybe tight to about the bottom if my waist. And I want it to be yellow."

I looked at her. "Yellow?"

"Yeah! It'll set off my hair and it'll look awesome!"

"Whatever. Let's go shopping!"

Two hours later and they still haven't found anything! They haven't really tried anything on either. And they were the ones looking. So I shoved them in their changing rooms and started looking for them.

"First Ash," I mumbled.

I found a lady and asked her to help me. She said they do have yellow dresses and she showed me where they were. I started looking through the racks of yellow dresses.

"Too mermaid. Too yellow. Whoa! Way too showy. Uh... Oh! This should work!" I said to myself, looking through the dresses.

I pulled a yellow dress with a nice flare, as in puffy. It had ruffles and roses in the ruffles and one up on the top. It was strapless and she would look awesome.

"Now for Gabby," I muttered.

I found the other dresses. The puffy ones with the sweetheart neckline and immediately found it. It's pure white with major puff and ruffles. It's a strapless sweetheart neckline like she wanted and I think it's beaded all over the bodice. And the best part, which I think she'll love, is the snowflake looking gem thing right on the side where the ruffles start.

I quickly rushed Ash's dress to her and helped her put it on. She turned and looked at herself.

"Oh my gods! Lilly, it's perfect! It's beyond perfect! Thank you! I love it!" Ash squealed.

"You're welcome. Now don't go anywhere. Stay here. Let me get Gabs in her dress and you two can see each other," I replied.

I ran over to Gabby's room and showed her the dress. She smiled and I helped her into the beautiful dress. She turned and looked in the mirror and started crying.

"It's beautiful! Oh my dear gods, Lilly! It's so perfect! Thank you so much! I need this!" Gabby said through her smile and tears.

I laughed. "You're welcome. Now come out with me and let me get Ash."

I led her through the door and got Ash. They saw each other and squealed. I smiled and watched them fangirl over their dresses. They look absolutely gorgeous. But they're squealing and it's honestly killing me...

"Well, are you gonna keep fangirling, or do you want to buy the dang things?" I asked.

"Yes!" Ash and Gabby said together.

They continued squealing and fangirling, so I turned to both of them and stared them down.

"I love both of you, and I know you're excited! But, for the love of the gods, stop squealing! You are going to make my ears bleed!" I said.

They got out of their dresses and we paid the huge amount for them. I ordered the bridesmaid dresses for Gabby and discovered that they were having a double wedding.
