Steven

The Dress

Next thing I knew Garnet had unfused. Ruby and Sapphire were standing right before my eyes , holding hands. At the same time they said

" We would love to help!", with smiles on their faces. Yay! Ruby and Sapphire are here!

I said

" Sadie this is Ruby." , as I pointed to Ruby she said

"Hi!" Sadie just smiled back at her.

"And this is Sapphire!"  I said as I pointed my finger at Sapphire

"Hello." She replied. Sadie smiled at her and then looked at me.

"So, what now Steven? " Before  I could say anything Amethyst said

"SHOPPING!!!" 

"Ok. Where to Amethyst?" Said Sadie .

" Well I know there's this real cool boutique down by the docks, that I've heard about but I've never been. I think it's called Beach City Boutique or something like that. Wanna go?" She looked all around the room with a smirk on her face.

"Sure. Why not?" Sadie said,

" But the date starts at 7, do you think we can get ready in time? "

"Of course Sadie, It's only 6. We're fine. We have an hour." Amethyst said looking at the clock. We got up from our sitting positions, except for Ruby and Sapphire. We then all headed down the stairs and out the screen door down to the docks.

*time skip*

We finally arrived at the docks after a good 10 minute walk. We had to keep Ruby and Sapphire from flirting too much on the way, that's why it took so long. We slowly walked down the rows of stores and restaurants until we finally found Beach City Boutique . I opened the door and walked in first, the rest of them followed after. *DING* An attractive young lady stepped out from behind the counter and walked over towards us.

She said

"Hello folks! How may I help you this fine evening?" With a smile on her face. She sounded older then she looked.

"Hi. My friend here is looking for a nice dress to wear to her date tonight and we were wondering if you could help us find that dress."I said. She grew an even bigger smile and said

"Of course I can! Now... who is the one who is going on this date?" Sadie stepped out of the crowd and said

"That would be me ma'am." She looked Sadie up and down

"I think I have just the right dress for you!" She turned around and walked towards the back where they kept the extra clothes. I looked around the store and to my surprise it looked pretty nice. I've never seen this store before when I would walk down the boardwalk. We got bored standing so we all wandered over to a couple fancy benches to sit on and wait for the lady to come back. Everybody seemed to be impressed by the store as they looked around. Everything was pink (A/N no, not the brand) . Ew. Ruby and Sapphire got curious so they got up and looked around the store together holding hands. The lady came back with a dress but it was covered in a sheet so I couldn't tell what it looked like. She smiled and handed the dress to Sadie.

"It's a surprise!" The lady said with a smirk. Sadie smiled at the lady and walked into the dressing room, locking the door behind her. I waited for Sadie for awhile and noticed that Sapphire had seemed to have found a dress that she liked. Ruby walked over to another dressing room and gestured for Sapphire to walk in. Aww! There just too cute!!! Anyway, I heard Sadie's dressing room door unlock and the door swung slowly open. She was standing with her head down looking at her feet, embarrassed. She looked absolutely stunning in that dress. It made her seem like a whole different person. She finally looked up and said

"Do you like it? "

Amethyst said

"I don't like it...I LOVE it!!"

To which I said

" You look absolutely amazing!!!" She blushed at me and Amethyst's comment. The dress was light blue, short, had a sweetheart neckline, and it was covered in lace. It was gorgeous! Sadie grew a smile on her face and looked down at the price tag hanging off of it. Her smile turned into a frown at the sight of the price tag.

"It's $120!!"

The employee said

" Is that what it says?" She then walked over to Sadie and looked at the price tag.

She said

"Oh. No, no, no! This is all wrong! The dress is actually $20 not $120! Must have been a typo. I'm sorry." All of us took a breath of relief. Sadie smiled again and said

"I'll take it!" The employee smiled and walked over with Sadie to the counter.

I heard Sapphire say

"Ruby can you come in here and help me please?" Ruby opened the door and walked in. I heard them giggling and then Garnet stepped out of the dressing room wearing a dress that was just way too small for her and it was ripped a little bit.

"Sorry employee lady." Garnet then walked over to us and sat down. The employee just looked at Garnet in confusion but turned back to Sadie and continued the checkout.

Garnet said

"This is too small for me." And ripped the dress off of her chest.

"Aww. That's better!"

Sadie turned around from the counter and said

"Thanks guys!" With a bag in her hand. We then all stood up and walked over to the door. I pushed the door open and the rest of the group followed. Garnet was the last person in the group to leave and as she left she put a $50 Bill on the counter and walked out after us.
