Your Point of View:

Today was the day of the Festival! I was so excited, and then I would spend the night at Cadenza's and Laurence's! I quickly got dressed in a (F/C) shirt, and black shirt that went above the knees, and a pair of (F/C) flats, so that I could walk. I brought a pair of (F/C) tennis shoes in a bag, a water bottle, snacks and sunscreen in a small drawstring bag. It was around 9:30, and then I got a text from Garroth.
~~
G- Hey, we're all car-pooling, 3 in Laurence's, and 2 in mine. I'm supposed to pick you up and meet everyone else at the cafe. Are you ready?
Y- Yeah. Are you on your way?
G- Yeah, I am. I'll be at your place in about 3 minutes. Be sure to bring a jacket, sunscreen and water.
Y- I got it. I'll see you in a couple minutes.
G- Cool.
~~
As I waited, I quickly ran upstairs and grabbed a (F/C) hoodie, in case it got cold. I walked downstairs, and heard the doorbell. I answered it, and locked the front door.
"OK, are we good to go?" I asked Garroth.
"Yeah, I have everything I need in my car. Let's go!" we walked to the car, and he drove to Kawaii~Chan's cafe, where Cadenza, Laurence and Dante were waiting. We got out, and Cadenza ran up to me and hugged me,
"THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME!"
"Calm down, Cadenza!" Laurence chuckled, walking over to us.
"It's her first time though! She must know everything!"
"Alright, alright. We better get there before Cadenza has a heart attack." Dante snickered, "Come on, I'm anxious!" we all went to our designated cars, and Garroth turned on the radio.
"ZANE!" he screamed, turning down the music. It was loud!"
"What?"
"Zane's taking driving lessons. He has to use my car, and he has the worst taste in music, EVER." he sighed.
"Yeah... that was... interesting."
"This is what I listen to." Garroth switched to a different channel, and it played a nicer, more collected song. It was extremely catchy.
"This is a good song, Garroth. Fortunately this isn't like that song."
"Heh, thanks." he smiled, "So, did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"The school has enough budget to send 3 bands to Battle of the Bands."
"REALLY?"
"Yeah! Ms. Musa was able to get all her funds back, and she can send 3 instead of one. Laurence and Dante really want to do it, but they need at least 4-5 band members. I'm thinking about joining them." he blushed slightly, "And Cadenza wants to play bass guitar. Except, none of us can sing..."
"Well, I would, but I'm not very good at singing." I looked down.
"I'm sure you're not that bad. Come on, what songs do you know?" the song that was originally playing ended, and another song played right after. This was definitely one I was familiar with, as my father played it for me when I was younger before he left all the time.
~~(Italics-You, Bold-Garroth, Underlined- Both)~~
~~
"She's blood, flesh and bone,
No tucks or silicone,
She's touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound,

But somehow I can't believe,
That anything should happen,
I know where I belong,
And nothing's gonna happen, yeah, yeah,

Cause she's so high,
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high,
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite,
She's so high,
High above me."
~~
I blushed, as the chorus ended. Garroth had purposely turned down the music without me knowing!
"You're bad? (F/N), that was amazing!"
"R-Really?"
"Does it look like I'm lying? You are so talented... how are you not a professional?"
"Oh please."
"You should join us... I mean, it's a big risk, but even I'm doing it..."
"What would you do?"
"I play keyboard, and I can do background vocals."
"Really? Then, sing!" I smirked. He blushed, then started,
~~
"First class and fancy free,
She's high society,
She's got the best of everything,

What could a guy like me,
Ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be,
Why should I even bother?

Cause she's so high,
High above me, she's so lovely,
She's so high,
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite,
She's so high,
High above me."
~~
"Whoa..." I whispered.
"Let's finish, shall we?"
"Yeah."
~~
"She comes to speak to me,"
"I freeze immediately,"
"Cause what she says sounds so unreal."

"But somehow I can't believe,
That anything should happen."
"I know where I belong,
And nothing's gonna happen,
Yeah, yeah,"
Yeah, yeah,

Cause she's so high,
High above me, she's so lovely,
She's so high,
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite,
She's so high,
High above me."
~~
As the trip continued, Garroth and I sang several songs, as well as a rap, which we missed most of, since it was really fast. We had made to the Festival, and we finished our last song.
"You're amazing, Garroth." I complimented him.
"Not as much as you are. Now, let's get food and have fun!" he smiled. We met up with Dante and Cadenza, and Laurence got the tickets.
"It's... huge!" I said, standing near the front. Laurence smirked, as he walked over to us,
"Just wait till you see the inside!"
"There's a TON to do here! I'm so excited!" Cadenza squealed.
"Does this mean we're all ready?" Garroth asked us.
"We HAVE to see the Wenches!" Laurence pleaded, "Can we?"
"Yeah! Only if I get to try on one of those beautiful dresses!"
"OK!" he replied.
"Whoa! Hey! We have an outsider here! Don't get ahead of yourselves!" Dante chuckled.
"We're all going to make sure you get through everything fun here!" Garroth smiled at me.
"OK then, where do we start?" I asked them, curiously.
"Can we try on the costumes?" Cadenza asked us.
"We might as well. Plus, I wonder what we would look like if we were living in a storybook!" Dante replied. We had found a huge shop, with tons of dresses, costumes, and accessories.
"EEK!" Cadenza squealed.
"There's so many." I looked around, and there were so many dresses. But, there was one that caught my eye. Cadenza turned a corner, and saw the dress. She grabbed it, and smiled,
"Try it on!"
"W-What?"
"Do it!" I hesitantly grabbed the gown, and walked into a dressing room. I carefully slipped on the dress, and turned around. I gasped in complete awe. It was... gorgeous. But, it couldn't look good on me, could it?
"Are you done?" Cadenza asked me.
"Y-Yeah, but i-it's fancy!"
"No, really?" she said sarcastically. "Come on out!"
"Fine." I slowly opened the curtain, and Cadenza gasped,
"It's beautiful!" It was a (F/C) gown, with an assortment of black and white details. It fit perfectly!
"Whoa." Garroth and Laurence said at the same time. I spun around, and the dress flew. It was so pretty!
"I-I love it, b-but on me? It's... different." I sighed, "I'm not sure about it."
"Are you kidding?" Laurence walked up to me, "You look like a genuine princess, (F/N). You look amazing. Don't say that you look strange, or weird, cause it's not the case here."
"I'd have to agree with Laurence here. You shouldn't be doubting yourself. You look amazing, (F/N). If you can't see it, and the rest of us can, then something's up with your head." he chuckled.
"And I'm going to have to agree with the boys." a girl stepped out from behind the counter, "I'm Harmony, and I'm the assistant manager. That dress was first added on a mannequin, then we decided we would start selling it. What was odd was that it's been on the racks for 4 years, and around every area we perform and advertise in. Many women have tried it on, but it never fit any of them. Many said the waist was too small. But, it appears to have fit you perfectly. W-Wait here, I need to go grab someone!" she walked off, and I blushed.
"Did you hear that? 4 years! A dress like this would be anyone's dream dress. You're the chosen one!" Cadenza jumped around.
"Ha, very funny Cadenza." as she jumped around, she came to a stop, when we heard a curtain unfold. Out walked an older lady in a lovely red gown.
"I hear you're the girl." she walked over to me, and smiled.
"I think?"
"You're wearing the dress, and I must admit, it looks spectacular!" she ran up to me,
"Madam Chen!" Harmony calmed her down.
"Oh you silly girl! I'm fine! Now, may I please take measurements on you? I need to make sure that it actually fits!"
"Sure." It only took so long for Ms. Chen to get my measurements, before she grabbed a sheet of paper from... a drawer in one of the vanities.
"Let's see the difference." she held the measurements of the dress, and the measurements of my body side by side, and read through. "Unbelievable... Harmony... am I... dreaming?"
"What do you mean?"
"Please read."
"Yes, Ms. Chen." she skimmed through the numbers as well, and gasped, "You're not dreaming. They're the same! I mean, even the length of the skirt matches up with the length of her legs."
"That's amazing." Ms. Chen whispered, "THIS IS AMAZING!" she jumped, "Ah! I cannot believe my very eyes, but this marks history!"
"It does?" Cadenza asked her.
"Why of course it does. Let me tell you the story of how long this dress has been at my side. This dress was the first dress I completed. The measurement was perfection, but not everybody's shape met its expectations. As ten years flew by, I had traveled with my mother around the country, as the Renaissance Festival was still around during that time. People loved the design, and the colors, but it never fit them. It was either a bit large in the chest area, or too small near the waists. Most of the time it was both those factors. 2 years later, I took over the stand, and I kept that dress dear and near to me. 5 years later, and 5 years of more people not fitting into the dress, you have finally fit into it. Perfectly, might I add."
"That's... amazing." I looked at her, surprised.
"Indeed it is. And, because this has been a long running myth, or a legend around the Festival, and because it's so old, I shall award you with it."
"W-What?"
"I can't keep it any longer. The inventory I have is overflown, and it's all too much. Besides, it would be such a waste if you didn't keep it."
"I can't accept something as beautiful as this."
"You can. Look, no one else has been able to fit in that dress for 20 years. Don't you think it means something? Promise me you'll take care of it, and make sure it is used for good, and for the benefit of your future."
"I will. Thank you, Ms. Chen."
"Of course darling." she looked over my shoulder, and start laughing. "Oh, your friends are quite a charmers. Look at their adorable costumes!" I turned around, and laughed. Cadenza was in a fairy costume, Garroth was wearing a prince's attire, Laurence was in a Lord's costume, and Dante was in a young wizard's costume. Wait a minute..."
"Those are the characters for the script! Remember, a Prince, wizard, and a fairy go off to save a Princess from a Lord!"
"YEAH!" Dante remembered, "She's right. You know, for that project in Performing Arts!"
"Oh yeah! These are so awesome!"
"10 bucks each, it says on the sign. Those things are older, but they still have flair, huh?" the guys and Cadenza paid for their costumes, and we all walked out, and walked about.
"These are so cool!" Laurence exclaimed.
"They're extremely comfortable, too." Cadenza giggled. "This is amazing! Where do we go next?"
"THE WENCHES!" Laurence and Garroth chanted at the same time. We all laughed, and reached a sign. Looks like the stage for the wenches was just a couple places down the path.
"It looks like they start another show in 13 minutes. Want to go?"
"Yeah! Let's get some drinks and food first. It's about lunchtime." Dante looked at his phone.
"Alright girls, go find some seats. The guys and I will bring some of our favorites. Cadenza, I assume a spinach pie and a turkey leg?" Laurence asked her.
"You know me so well! (F/N), what do you want? Those spinach pies are a classic!"
"I'll take the same thing. By the sounds of it, the spinach pie seems really good!"
"Good choice." she giggled.
"Alright. We'll be back in 10 minutes." Garroth and Dante walked off, and Laurence yelled,
"Find good seats!" Cadenza sighed, then slightly chuckled,
"Laurence has absolutely adored this show since we were kids."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It's his favorite thing about the Festival. I think the show is funny in itself. I think you'll like it, too. Everyone does. Let's find some awesome seats!"
"Cool!" we had successfully found seats that were in the middle, and near an edge, so that it was easier to get up. The guys came back with food and drinks.
"Great seats, guys! Far enough so that we don't get wet, but close enough to see all the action!" Laurence smiled. Cadenza winked at me, and I smiled, then looked at them confused,
"Wait, wet?"
"Yeah! Look at the pool of water up there." I looked up at the stage, and there was a small circle filled of water. Surrounding the area was clothes, and towels, and sponges. They were wenches that worked on... a pirate ship?
"HELLO EVERYBODY!" a voice yelled,
"THE SHOW IS BEGINNING!" another one yelled,
"MEANING..." a third one sang,
"WELCOME TO THE..." all of them sang, "ABANDONED, BUT NOT ABANDONED SHIP OF SHIPPING!" 3 girls in 'rags' walked out, and everyone cheered. "Now, let us introduce ourselves!"
"I am your, clear, shiny, beautiful gem in the coves, Crystal." a girl with brown hair and blue eyes smiled a toothy grin.
"I am your fabulous, cute, kawaii, and squeaky clean cooler, Mackenzie!" A girl with black hair and tan skin twirled, while giggling.
"And I am, your super duper shipping leader, Hannah!" a girl with long brown hair and golden tips smiled,
"And we are the Wenches!"
"Today, today is a wonderful day," Crystal sang.
"A wonderful day to come out and play!" Mackenzie sang.
"But what can we do on this wonderful day?" Hannah asked the audience, singing.
"Let us introduce you to the shipping game!" they all smiled. We all clapped, as they laughed.
"The game is simple." Crystal rubbed her hands together.
"Care to explain Hannah?" Mackenzie asked her fellow friend. Hannah giggled.
"Sure! We will picking 3 guys to come up on stage, and play with us. Those 3 guys will be performing challenges to get a rose for their... girl." she deviously giggled, "GIRLS! GRAB YOUR GUYS!" Mackenzie and Crystal cackled, making everyone else laugh. They ran down, Crystal going left, Mackenzie going right, and Hannah going near the middle. She walked up to our group, and took Laurence out. Cadenza burst out laughing, and I did as well.
"WHAT A HUNK LOAD HERE! SOMEONE GRAB ME A FAN!" Dante and Garroth laughed along with us, and Laurence blushed. He got up on stage and then 2 other guys were brought up as well. The two boys had don their challenges first. One had to run up to a large rock and scream,
"I LOVE MY UNDERPANTS!" then he had to run back, and wear a pair of panties on his head as he gave a rose to his girlfriend. Then, the other guy had to sit through a long song. Laurence was up last, and Garroth snickered,
"What?" I nudged him.
"Oh, they always save the best for last. You'll see..."
"AND NOW FOR OUR LAST VICTIM!" Mackenzie cackled.
"This isn't a victim, Mackenzie! In fact, I'm gonna make it cute!" Hannah smiled. "OK, what is your name first off young man?"
"Laurence."
"Ooh, adventurous. I like this one, Hannah." Crystal winked at Laurence, which made everyone laugh.
"Well, I have quite the challenge. Mackenzie! The guitar!" Mackenzie grabbed a guitar, and Laurence smiled. "Alright, Laurence. Since your name starts with a L, and because you're really hot, I'm going to give you the love challenge."
"Hannah!" Crystal gasped, "What?"
"I think it's a great idea. OK, we're gonna make you play guitar. You have to make a song right on the spot."
"OK."
"BUT. You have to include TWO MAGICAL WORDS. Love, and Smiles!"
"Cool." I watched, as Laurence took the guitar and placed it in position. The girls brought out a bar-stool, and he sat down.
~~
"Her eyes sparkle like the moon in the nighttime,
Her hair flies with the freedom of the wind,
Her style isn't anything but flawless,
Nobody else could make me feel this way,

Her energy spreads around me and makes me,
the shyest guy this world could ever see
My stomach churns and flips at every words she sings,
I can't stop it, what's going on with me?

The sight of light reminds me of her smile,
I can't stop the grin spreading for those miles

And when I wake up,
I always think of her,
And how much it will hurt,
When my life isn't worth
The time that I spend now,
The possibilities
In every single dream
Why are they just so mean,

What we have right now cannot be turned
If I ruin this then I'll be hurt
But there's one thing that you'll need to learn
I think I love her."
~~
All the girls squealed, and everyone clapped.
"Well darn, congrats Laurence. You can sing and play guitar. Now BE MINE!" Crystal jumped around.
"He obviously made that song for someone. Here's your rose. Now, show her that you meant it." Laurence grabbed the rose, and stepped down from the bar-stool. He got off stage, and walked up to our group of friends. He grabbed my hand, and I got up. He placed me in the middle of the walkway, and bent on one knee.
"Now, I can the princess her rose." he stood up, and placed the rose in my hair. Everyone clapped, and I hugged him. Was that... for me?

THAT. WAS. FLUFFY. SORRY GARROTH FANS, BUT DANG! THAT WAS BOOTIFUL!

Don't ask what song Laurence sang, cause I wrote it ;) Hmm... if this chapter can get 15 votes, I'll upload a cover of this with my own voice on my YouTube channel. K? K. Couple things. I am so sorry for the lack of updating. The book I'm publishing will be my focus for a bit, as I need to get started on it. I think instead of waiting to post the intro at 500, I'll post it later this week as a VERY early teaser, since I love the concept. But at the same time, I gave you Garroth fans a VERY ADORKABLE moment... DON'T BE DISPLEASED! I'm away from home right now, so yeah :D Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this large part of songs and fluffiness, and I'll see you in the next chapter. Buh-bye! ~Morgan <3

(Seriously though that was adorable! <3)
