In Our Stars

Its a date Part 22

"What do you need my help with?" Tabby voice sounded on the other end of the phone with a bit of surprise.

"Come on you know Melody better than anyone else," he responded, "I need your help to set up a surprise for Melody."

"Don't you think that it would be just easier to ask her out you jerk?" Tabby scuffed.

"Come on, you know that I love her and I would never hurt her. Tabby I wouldn't call you unless I was desperate for your help."

"Fine... I am in but if you ever hurt my best friend I swear that I will kill you myself!" she warned. "Meet me in one hour in the garage and don't be late."

"Thanks Tabby!" he shout whispered excitedly then noticed that she was no longer on the line. Damn this girl was feisty and he was glad that his fated was Melody and not Tabby as he wondered how he would even survive her.

Melody's POV

My dreams were hazy and made no sense but when I woke up something else didn't make sense, why in the world was I in Aiden's room? Last thing I remembered was seeing a golden dragon planning to attack us. Everything after that was a faint memory as though it was out of my reach no matter how close I got to it. I looked out the window and noticed that it was already sunset and wondered how long I have been out for. I quickly dug into my pockets and pulled out my phone that was too bulky for the pants anyway. There was a message waiting to be read, opening it up the message was from Tabby saying that she was in my room waiting for me.

I got off the bed looking for my shoes then spotted them by the door and shoved them on quickly. What was Tabby up to? Maybe she needed something to wear to meet her boyfriend as they were sort of inseparable since the party held at my house. Rushing to my room I saw my door open and walked in bracing myself for whatever Tabby had in store for me. Tabby is my best friend, someone that I could never replace but boy was she a handful at times.

"Tabs?" I asked watching her texting away on my bed most likely to her boy toy with that thought a smile flashed across my face. She quickly looked up at me with a bright smile and I knew that she was up to no good.

"Hey Melly, glad you are awake. How are you feeling?" she came around my king size bed to hug me.

"Fine..." I mumbled feeling like I was walking into a trap. Something felt off but what wasn't off about my bestie?

"Tabby? You okay?" I asked looking at her curiously.

"I'm great! Tonight is not about me, its about you. There are some surprises in store for you that I assure you, you would enjoy."

"Tabby I hate surprises! You know that," I sighed laying face down on my bed groaning as though in pain.

"Its gonna be fun..." Tabby laughed excitedly, "get your butt up and take a shower stinky Joe!"

"Stinky Joe huh?" I looked up with a mischievous smirk and started hitting Tabby with a pillow when another voice was sounded in the room belonging Alyssa.

"I knew you two could not stay out of trouble without my help!" Alyssa walked in with the most beautiful dress slung over her shoulder. Quickly we both ran over to Alyssa eyeing the dress tagged from Ms. Gloria's shop.

"Nope!" Alyssa playfully hid the dress behind her including the parcels that she held, "shower then Tabby is gonna do your hair and make up."

Slumped shoulders I marched into the bathroom and began to shower. Soon as I was out of eye shot I heard muffled gasps knowing that Tabby began to look at the gown and the accessories including shoes. Tabby's eyes were round as saucers when she noticed the price tag on the dress, "Oh. My. God!!! This dress is awesome!"
