Cas's mom and Jim, the doctor, are getting married today and I told Cas I would go. I get in the car to rent a tuxedo.

"Dad! Are you going to the wedding?"

"No. I don't even know the woman, and I doubt she would want a strange man without a date there."

"Fine. I'm gonna go rent a tux."

I get in the car and the stereo blasts the song I heard a few days ago. Damn. I forgot to look it up. Today is Thursday, so tomorrow Cas and I will go to Danny's Diner.

Rivers and Rose? I can't tell what the singer is saying. I pull up to the tux place just as the song ends. I walk in the door and see a dude with a tux.

"Hey. I need a tux for a wedding."

"I understand"

He just walks off without saying another word. He really creeps me out.

"I'm back! So I have this wonderful orange tux for you, and I also have a fabulous black one. Or you could go for a sparkleicious look and mix the orange and black."

"I'll go with black."

"No sparkleicious? Not what I would do."

"I know. I have to go so hurry this up."

"Hmm. That will be $200 for the day."

"Expensive. Thanks, bye."

"Have a sparkleicious day!"

"Yeah whatever."

I get in the car and drive away as fast as possible. That guy was creepy. Like. ridiculously creepy.

I call Cas and tell him I got my tux and that I would be at his house as soon as I could get there.

I get in the car and the song comes on again. I find myself singing along as I drive. I pull in the driveway to Cas's house. I'm excited for the wedding tomorrow.
