Fun for Brianne. Torture for Ananya...

AN: Hi guys! My teachers have taken mercy and I actually had this weekend off a bit...I SAW ALADDIN ON BROADWAY AS A SUPER LATE BIRTHDAY PRESENT AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! INDESCRIBABLE AND BEAUTIFUL AND I ACTUALLY CRIED!!!!!
Ahem. Back to reality. Sorry for the long time between chapters, but I hope you like it! This won't be a very long sequel I think, because there really aren't a lot of avenues I can go with this....

Brianne POV
So Ananya and I enter the Dauntless boutique with everyone and I'm super excited because, well, I love to look nice! And this is my wedding too! I immediately drag Ananya over to the display as she groans (silly person) and I start looking for my ideal dress. I want to feel like a princess, so I'm looking for a dress that just calls out to me.
I'm searching with Christina's help, but I'm not finding it. The dress of my dreams...

Ananya POV
I hate wearing fancy dresses! I'd much rather wear a blazer and skinny jeans to a conference. Unless I'm dancing, in which case, a dress is nice to have. I just want to find something elegant but different. So instead of getting Christina to help me look, I'm enlisting Tris's help. She gets that I just want something that'll make me feel confident. As I'm dragged over to the displays, I know this isn't what I want. I need something more amazing...more show stopping...

Brianne POV
"Ughhhh! This is hopeless, I'm never going to find it!"
I'm sitting on a closed box in the storage room, frustrated with my luck. The one time I know exactly what I want, I can't find it! Christina is sympathetic, and upset that she can't help me, until she looks closer at the label on the box I'm sitting on. She squeals and yelps "Brianne, all these boxes are wedding dresses that haven't been unpacked yet, so let's look in these!"

Eh. Couldn't hurt?

I open the box I'm sitting on and I pull out the garment bag. As I unzip it, I gasp and hang it up, so that I can put my hands to my mouth. It's perfect. It's a fitted spaghetti strap dress until the upper thighs where it flares out into a princess style dress with flowers and roses made out of the fabric. The right shoulder has flowers at the top of the shoulder and it looks beautiful! This is it. The dress I wanted most of all...and it will make me look like what I want to be for the rest of my life. Ryker's princess.

There's another box in the corner. I wonder what that has in it?

Ananya POV

I'm annoyed. Really annoyed. Out of all the factions, dauntless has the prettiest dresses? All princess like and dressy? Why is there nothing suited to my DAUNTLESS taste? I'm sitting down in a bench, kicking my feet (I'm short, ok?!)
Brianne comes out and sits next to me, grinning ear to ear. I smile and I say, "You found it, huh? I'm glad, because you deserve to have this so much"

She laughs and says, "You always know the right thing to say... But I'm also grinning because I found this" and she holds up a box.

I grumble, "What is it? Heels that are more like medieval torture devices?"

And she smiles (again? How is she always smiling?) and pulls out a dress...and oh my god.

This is it. It's elegant, more than I thought I'd want, but it's actually perfect! It's a straight Grecian style dress that hugs my body and has a sweetheart neckline with lace above and on the sides. The back is just lace, and I think I'll feel confident in it, because I want the dress just looking at it. It trails a little on the floor, so that'll hide my un-bride like flats/sneakers. It's beautiful, and I know Pete'll love it too...

Damn. That's only half the shopping, we still have bridesmaids dresses left...I turn to tell Brianne this and she groans. We turn around to find Caylee and the others with two dresses held up. One matches Brianne's vision perfectly. It's a red dress with black lace overlay in a tribal patter and a v neck. The other one matches my idea as well. It's a deep blue dress with white lace overlay until the waist at which point it flares into knee length blue satin. They smile and I yell "Yes! We're done with dress shopping and I get to go home and take a nap!"

Girls have priorities, you know?

AN: READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you liked it! This chapter is dedicated to my sisters (who aren't actually blood related to me but are pretty close): Shreya, Abhigna, Brianne, and Tanvi. They actually made me cry with their beautiful thoughts and wishes for my birthday, and I couldn't be any luckier than I am to have all of them with me wherever I go.
