Mercedes was sick of being stuck with pins. "Can I take a breather, Vera?"
Vera Wang, a close friend of the family's, nodded. "Go put your feet up."
Mercedes stepped off the stool and went to awkwardly sit down. Her dress was nearly done but had last minute alterations.
It was a snow white creation with off the shoulder lace and four foot train. It was lovely and she adored it from the shoulder hugging top to the flowing bottom.
It showed off her curves until after it hit her bottom, where it flourished spectacularly. The front was covered with crystals and it was to be dyed a purple ombré. Starting from where it grew wider, it would be a lilac color, changing as it neared the bottom, where it would be violet.
Mercedes was proud of designing this dress. It reminded her of the yellow dress Belle wore in the Beauty and the Beast, her favorite Disney movie.
"Mercy?" Quinn's voice floated to her. "Are you done?"
"For the moment." Mercedes called out.
Quinn shuffled into view wearing her wedding gown. It was very much like Mercedes' in that it was snug up top but flowed from her bottom on. Whereas Mercedes' dress was sleeveless, Quinn's had full sleeves and showed little cleavage.
Her dress would be dyed as well, a soft grey color that would make the crystals at the bottom twinkle like the silver she actually adored.
"Tired?" Quinn sat beside her.
"So much. I was thinking..." She stopped.
"Go on." Quinn waved a hand.
"I don't think I want to be in any lessons next year."
Quinn's eyebrows shot up. "What? What do you mean?"
"It's just a lot and with planning the wedding in every spare second it has been so frustrating. I'm literally exhausted."
Quinn nodded. "I know what you mean. I fell asleep during class this week."
"I think cheerleading and glee will be enough."
Quinn nodded again. "Okay. We'll talk to our parents about it."
"How excited are you for Regionals?" Mercedes switched the subject.
Quinn pulled a face. "It's just the Rachel Berry show."
"When are you going to stop hating her?"
"When is she going to leave Finn alone?" Quinn crossed her arms.
"Quinn, you are getting ready to marry someone else. He's free and single and didn't fight for you."
"I know." Quinn sniffed as a tear slid past her defenses. "But it still hurts."
"I know, sweetie but we'll have a great life together and he'll see that he missed out on the wonderful person that is Quinn Fabray."
"Thank you, Merce."
Mercedes hugged her. "You're welcome."
"Mercy?" Vera called out. "Come on, honey. Break's over."
