Melony was working so hard on the outfits that she wasn't thinking of her well being. Even he hair was messier as she didn't have time to brush it. Her laser focused vision was suddenly interrupted by the soft voice of her friend. "Hello! You wanted to see me Melony?" She burst into excitement at the arrival of Tari as she just couldn't wait to show the new design. "Tari! I just finished your new new dress and I can't wait to show it!"

Tari looked at herself in the mirror that had the similar blue pattern, but with some tints of white and indigo to please her more. She stood in silence for a few seconds and calm replied "I love it..." Melony once again saw that there was still an obvious, underwhelming reaction.

"You can tell me if you don't like it."

"Oh no! I do like it."

"Please just tell me!"

Tari tried her best to keep herself from hurting Melony's feelings, but that persistent attitude just couldn't stop the truth from spilling out. "Alright. If you really want to know..." Melony was expecting something minor, but the complaints were much more than she bargained for.

"The arm size is tight, the collar doesn't go with the skirt, the layers are clearly machine stitched and uneven, the fabric looks bland, you used a back stitch when this called for a top stitch or maybe a traditional blanket stitch, and the over design is a reminiscent of and not true couture."

"..."

Melony just situated herself in place with her mouth agape. Since when did Tari know so much about sewing? "But whatever you want to do is fine." That little comment did little to help with the list of demands that everyone had wanted for their suit/dress.

As each one of them came over, they would list exactly how they wanted it done."Now my belt needs to be technically accurate." When it came to perfection, Four was quite nit picky about it.

"Stitch by stitch, stitching it together."

"Deadline looms. Don't you know the client's always right."

"Even if my fabric choice was perfect, got to get them all done by tonight."

Mario had picked a more squeamish green looking color for his outfit.

"Mario that color is too obtrusive. Look at it in the light."

"I'm sewing them together!"

Mario started piping up the most ridiculous request. "Don't you think this would be more like Mario with some spaghetti?"

"Uhhh..."

"With sauce and meatballs!"

"Well-"

"DO IT!"

"Hour by hour, one more change. I'm sewing them together with great pains!"

Melony measures Tari's waist. "Tari, you're putting me in a plight."

"Three, what is on your mind!" Three just leans on the table, rolling his eyes while Melony rushes to try and complete everything. "Oh my gosh, there's simply not much time!"

"Don't forget that Meggy's boots must shine!"

"Dressmakings easy...every person's call brings a whole new revision. I have to pick up the pace and continue my vision!"

Four was going off on all the memes and stuff that would make his suit look nice with when Tari came up with a picture. "French pond couture please." Melony winced, but reminded herself that it would all be worth it. "What if it rains?" thought Meggy as she replied "MY CLEATS!" Mario just kept chanting "More spaghetti! More spaghetti!"

"Don't you think that's enough?" Mario shot her a look and said "Isn't this Mario's suit?" Melony sighed and carried on. "More spaghetti it is..." Melony kept glancing at Three as it sort of creeped him out. "What?" She tapped her foot impatiently and said "Aren't you going to ask to change something?" Three shook his head. "No. I just want you to make it more...rizz like." Melony stared in confusuion, but decided to ask a few questions. "Do you not like the color?"

"The color's fine. Just make it more-"

"Do you not like the shape?"

"No I want it to be-"

"Do you not like-"

"FOR GOD'S SAKE JUST MAKE IT MORE VILLAINOUS OKAY!"

"...and 20% more rizz."

Melony facepalmed herself as it was almost impossible to follow Three's perspective.

"All we want is no big choice!"

"All we really like is what we know!"

"Gotta manage our style with agreement!"

"Making sure we make a good appearance!"

"Even if you have to cut some corners!"

All of them swarm Melony, reminding her all at once. "Make sure that it stays within our budget!"

"Got to overcome intimidation as it's all in this presentation!"

"Piece by piece, snip by snip."

"Cropped up on the shoulders, hip."

"Fold by fold, primed and pressed."

"Yarn by heart, always stressed."

"And that's the art of the dreeeeessssss!"

Melony faints as he work has consumed her, but one thing was missing. She never finished her dress so that expert sketch sat all by itself, waiting for someone to complete it's design.

"Oh Axol Jr...these are the ugliest outfits I've ever made..."

~Later~

"Okay I did exactly what each of you asked for. Now please don't hold back and tell me what you really think."

The others had a much more appreciative reaction as they admired and couldn't stop raving about their new outfits. They all said the same thing at once. "It's exactly what I asked for." Melony sighed in relief as he work was finally done. Four, remembering his manners, turned to Melony and said with a grateful tone "Thank you so much Melony!" Mario was more anxious as he got up into her face and pestered "Are you as happy with Mario's suit as he is. Huh? Huh? Huh?"

Melony politely pushed him away and said exactly what she thought. More or less... "Well I'm happy that all of you are happy. I'm just so relieved to finally be done." Suddenly Boopkins burst through the door and squealed "You are never going to believe this! You remember Jeeves right?"

"Isn't he a journalist?" Four questioned as Boopkins nodded. "He heard about the fashion show and he's coming here to see your work Melony!" Meggy was the first to snap out of her shocked expression. "You could sell a tone of your outfits and sketches to this guy! You could become a big author in manga!" Melony was concerned as she said stunned "He's coming here...to see these outfits..."

Boopkins cheers her on, unaware of the risks. "Yes! Get ready for all your dreams to come true!" Melony's eye began to quiver in fear. What would happen when Jeeves saw these disasters and published it for all the world. Instead of being happy, her mind was filled with one emotion. Sheer panic.
