Saturday morning....
Sammie hurry to join her friends at the mall.
Sammie: Hey guys. We all set?
Emma: Definitely! I'm so excited, I had a dream about this last night.
Caleb: I'm with you, Emma. I'm ready to shop till I drop!
Michael: How about 'shop till we have everything we need and go home'?
Aiden: I prefer the sound of that.
Luis: Seconded.
Caleb: Hang on, am I the only guy who's looking forward to this?
Sammie: Personally, I can't wait to choose the perfect outfit. I for one, love trying on fancy stuff.
Emma: Same! Plus, I'm excited to see everyone else's picks....Like, I've never seen Jade in a dress before.
Caleb: Me neither.
Jade: What can I say? Frilly, sparkly gowns aren't exactly my style. It's always a pain finding ones that are my taste and fancy enough for formal stuff.
Maria: I'm sure we can do it. There are a lot of dresses out there.
Sydney: Yeah! I'll keep my eyes peeled for the perfect dress for you, Jade!
Myra: Me too!
Myra smiles broadly at everyone.
Myra: I'm gonna have the time of my life with you guys, and there's nothing Brian can do about it.
Sammie: Myra, I'm glad you're back to normal! We all missed you. Sad Myra was no fun.
Myra: I've banished Sad Myra. Only Fun Myra remains.
Aiden: Is it really that easy? I mean, you went through a lot....
Myra lets out an unexpectedly loud laugh.
Myra: Don't worry about it! I'm fine.
As Sammie walk through the mall, Emma points enthusiastically at a shop.
Emma: There it is! Danielle's Bridal!
Myra: We gotta beat the crowds! Go, go, go!
Myra, Emma, and Caleb dash into the boutique at top speed. The rest of them hang back.
Cameron: I'm glad Myra's holding up okay.
Aiden: I don't know....It feels to me like she's not quite herself.
Sammie: You think so? I'm glad you noticed it, too. I figured she wouldn't be fine after everything Brian put her through.
Aiden: Yeah. She's doing her best to fake it, but I've hung out with her enough to tell when she's feeling down.
Cameron: In that case....we should probably keep an eye on her.
Inside the boutique, Caleb emerges from the racks with a pile of suits in his arms.
Caleb: I've already found a few tuxes to try on.
Emma begins sifting through a glittering row of dresses.
Emma: There's so many to choose from!
Maria: But they're organized so poorly....those jackets don't belong here!
Luis: Those jackets and I have that in common.
Michael shows off a hideous white suit with bright red pinstripes.
Michael: Feast your eyes, Maria.
Maria: Are you trying to get me to back out as your date? Because I will. I'm warning you.
