"Hey E. Knew that I could find you here." Mal teased, and Evie blushed. "Oh, so you know our seamstress Evie?" Glea looked very puzzled, and Mal laughed, "Oh, we're the best of friends; both of us are VKs."

"Ah, now I know which friend Evie always talks about. Our only dress vendor is from Evie's 4Hearts, so it's common for princesses to order from Evie, then have their dresses sent here for a fitting and testing." Glea, explained, and Mal smiled, "Doug is somewhere here too, isn't he?"

"Oh, how did you know?" Glea looked even more puzzled than before, and Mal laughed, "He's one of the best accountants, and also, Evie's boyfriend. He's bound to be somewhere here."

"Goodness! Such deduction skills are surely impressive!" Glea complimented, and Evie smirked at Mal, for Mal was always stubborn about her deduction being right.

"Now, shall we begin the dress fitting?" Glea curtsied towards Audrey, and Audrey grinned, "Definitely!" And at that, many of the ballerina maids all began swarming around them, each with a different makeup tool. Or maybe torture weapons, from Mal's point of view.

"Nah, nah, I'm good." Mal started to back away, but Evie placed her hands firmly on her hips, "Not a chance, Mal. We are so gonna make you look like the cover for the latest news." And without further ado, Evie forced Mal back into the fitting room where she once stood in, and the torture began once again......

"M, just stand still!" Evie muttered, a dozen safety pins clipped between her lips, and Mal couldn't help but inch away from the approaching pin. "M, if you keep flinching, all the more I might end up poking you, and also, it's gonna take a longer time." Evie removed another pin, holding up another piece of the purple silk that she had tied firmly around Mal's waist.

"Evie!" Mal exclaimed as Evie made a gesture as though to stab her, but thought the better of it and instead continued wrapping Mal with fabric and pinning more pins. "I swear, if not for the wedding, I don't want anymore of these fittings I tell ya..." Mal grumbled, and Evie silently laughed to herself. I'm afraid that's not possible, Mal. Evie thought, but it was alright. Mal would soon come to learn of what Ben and others had in plan...
