Ray later that night after talking to her mom, went to bed and woke up early the next morning to go to Mrs. Steamer Stems bridal dress shop. She arrived around eight o'clock, and when she went inside, she was directed to Mrs. Steamer Stem herself.

"Hello darling." Said Mrs. Steamer stem kissing both of Ray's cheeks. "I have no clue who you are, but I know you are a customer looking for a dress."

"And may your guess me right." Said Ray, wiping off the kisses she had just Received.

"Let's go measure you up and see what design you would like for your dress." Said Mrs. Steamer Stem leading her into the back room. "Now while I measure you, you look through this book and find a design for your dress.

Ray looked for a while, and finally decided on one, that looked like a princess would wear. It was so elegant and sophisticated. She thought that when Tanner saw her in it, he would cry and melt.

"Oh wonderful darling, beautiful!" Exclaimed Mrs. Steamer Stem. Then she asked Ray how they met and where he proposed."

"We met in the water at the beach, when he accidentally bumped into me. And he proposed to me the night when I was training for being a lifeguard... I was learning CPR when we were having a dinner date at the same night." Said Ray.

"Oh, amazing beautiful darling." Said Mrs. Steamer Stem. Ray almost thought she wasn't even listening.

"Okay, darling your almost free to go... you have your design in and measurements. So now I need my money."

"How much?" Asked Ray.

"It will be about thirty thousand."

"And when will it be done?" Ray asked.

"Um, about 6 months." Mrs. Steamer Stem replied.

"Oh... that won't due." Said Ray pulling out her wallet. "If I give you two hundred thousand dollars, will you make my dress immediately so it will be done by... let's say tomorrow."

"I guess I could do that for you, especially if your paying me that much!" Exclaimed Mrs. Steamer Stem.

"Thank you... I'll come by and pick it up tomorrow." Said Ray leaving the store. Then she was headed to the leader of the lifeguard team's house on the beach. She then arrived.

"Hi Mrs. Harpshall! What's up, how are you today?" Asked Ray.

"Nothing much, put one of our lifeguards quitting because her friend Cristy isn't in the team anymore." Mrs. Harpshall said kind of angrily.

"Oh... how are you gonna find another girl?" Asked Ray.

"I'm just gonna have to do tryouts again, unless there is another solution." Said Mrs. Harpshall.

Ray thought for a moment then said, "How about Diane, she did come in second you know."

"That will be amazing, let me contact her and let her know that she is welcomed in the team." Said Mrs. Harpshall, dialing her number.

"Hello?"

"Hi Diane, this is the lifeguard team leader, I was just wondering if you would like to join the team." There was a long pause and a squeal, then Diane said, "I'd love too, when do I start?" She asked.

"As soon as you come here and receive your badge and equipment. And you will be on duty with Ray, and she will be there to assist you."

"Okay, I'll be there soon, and thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. It's been a dream of mine since I was a little kid." Said Diane.

"Well, I'm glad to have made your dream come true sweetheart!" Said Mrs. Harpshall.
