Marley's Pov

I hear a knock on the door as a let out a sigh for the fourth time in the past half an hour. 

"Who is it?" I call out not looking away from the mirror. 

"It's Buck," his voice says from the other side of the door. I let out one more sigh as I pick up my hair ready to start the braid again. 

"You can come in," I reply still focused on making my braid as smooth as possible, they had to be perfect. 

"How are you," Bucky starts as he walks into my room before noticing that I was not yet ready. "Whoa what's going on here? the schedule you made said you should be dressed and ready by now for the first looks," 

"I'm trying to get my hair into this stupid braided up do and I keep messing up and have to keep restarting and it's putting me behind," I reply before messing up yet again and taking the braid out. 

"Hey, hey, hey," he says gently grabbing my hands which were raking through my hair. "Calm down, breathe, let me help you,"

"No, no I can do it myself it's ok," I deny trying to remove my hand from his to start the braid again. 

"Marley, you are stressing yourself out, just let me help you," he replies not letting my hand go. 

"Seriously Bucky I can do it myself, I just need my hand to do it," I say still trying to remove my hand from his grip. 

"I'm going to say this one time and one time only," he says looking at me through the mirror. "Stop fussing, and let me braid your hair," finally I give in hearing the seriousness in his tone. Slowly I bring my hand down to rest in my lap Bucky finally letting it go. "Good," he says sending me a sweet smile. "Now what are we doing?"

3rd Person Pov

"You were up there for an awfully long time," Steve says as Bucky makes his way down the stairs towards the group. 

"She was struggling to do her hair, so I offered to help," the man replies with a shrug. 

"So, she's going to be down soon?" Peter asks the boy bursting with excitement. 

"She's supposed to be," Bucky says falling into his place in line between T'challa and Rhodey.

"I'm so excited to see her dress, in fact I don't know if I've ever seen her in a dress, I bet she looks like a princess, I hope she feels like a princess," The boy rambles on from his spot next to Tony. 

"Kid, kid, hey, breath," Tony says placing a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure she both looks and feels like a princess," before Peter could ramble any more the groups attention is caught by Natashas appearance at the top of the stairs. 

"The woman of the day is so kindly requesting that you all turn around and, or close your eyes," she says with a smile waiting for everyone in the group to turn and face the other direction before walking around the corner to collect Marley. The group waits patiently as she makes her way slowly down the stairs in her heels. Finally, when she got to the bottom of the staircase and Natasha was done fluffing her skirt she spoke up. 

"Ok, you all can turn around now," Marley says playing with her hands nervous to see their reactions. Slowly the group turned around to look at the girl all of their eyes widening slightly as they took in her appearance no one saying a word. "Is it really that bad?" she asks after a couple moments of silence. "God, I knew I shouldn't have gone with my gut,"

"No, no don't even say that" Peter says being the first in the group to speak up. "Marley, you look, you look like a princess," he says with a smile on his face as tears form in his eyes. 

"See now look what you did you made the boy cry," Tony says with a shake of his head and the group falls into silence once more. That is until Marley bursts out into laughter, a sound that made smiles grow on the faces of the group around her. 

"You look beautiful, Marley," Rhodey said with a smile moving forward to give the girl a hug. The rest of the group follows throwing out compliments and hugs to the girl smiles never fading from anyone's face. 

"You did good kid, you did good," Tony whispers in her ear as he wraps her in a hug causing her to tear up ever so slightly. 

"Ugh you guys," Marley says as she pulls away looking towards the ceiling and blinking in hopes to remove the tears from her eyes. "Who knew you were all such saps," she says causing the group to laugh yet again as some try to deny the accusation. 

"Come on girl," Bucky says wrapping his arm around Marley's shoulders. "Let's go get you married," Marley couldn't help but to smile at his words excited for what was to come, and her future with Sam, and even more excited that she got to celebrate the start of the next chapter with some of the best people. People who truly cared, for her, for her life, and for her happiness. Throughout all of this she really couldn't help but to think about just how great all of her friends were.
