Unfortunate Nixie

Chapter 3

"Hannah! I'm home." I said walking through the door.

I waited for a response. Nothing... So I decided to call her again.

"Hannah?" I yelled through the empty house.

"I'm in here." She said answering my call.

I walked through the house and found her in the living room.

She turned around to face me.

"So? What do u think?" She asked.

"Hannah! It's beautiful! Is that mom's wedding dress?" I asked.

"Yeah," she said, "it uh saves a lot of money on a dress. But, we will have to find u a bridesmaid dress."

"When?" I asked.

"Right now if you want to."

I helped Hannah Get out of her dress and put it up so nothing would happen to it. Then we got into the car and went to David's Bridal.

I tried on a series of dresses. So far Hannah didn't like any of them.

"Hannah I don't think we are making any progress." I said putting my hands on hips in one of the dresses she didn't like.

"I know, maybe we can go to a different store tomorrow."

"Yeah." I replied kinda bummed.

"So go take it off and we'll retry tomorrow." She said disappointed.

I walked back to the dressing room and passed this beautiful blueish color dress and starred at it. It was elegant..... Maybe even perfect for Hannah's wedding.

"Mam?" I said to the lady escorting me to and from the dressing room.

"Yes?" She said turning to face me.

"May I try this dress before we leave?"

"I don't see why not." She said with a smile on her face."

I pulled the dress to my chest while the employe zipped it up. It was a perfect fit. That had to be a sign right? I looked in the mirror.

"I think Hannah will love it." I said.

I walked out side of the dressing room and into the room where Hannah was. Hannah was looking through a magazine with bridesmaid dresses.

"Hannah!" I yelled breaking her thoughts. She looked up and her eyes got big with excitement.

"Nixie!" She exclaimed. "It's beautiful. It's perfect. We'll take it."

I starred at the dress in my closet. I was really excited for this wedding. It was only in 4 days. I wonder if I can find a date in time.

"Nixie dinner!" Hannah called from down stairs.

"Coming." I called back.
I left the comfort of my cozy bed for food.

As I walked downstairs I could smell the aroma of melted cheese, all different types of meat like pepperoni, beef, ham, and sausage. Then I smelled banana peppers, black olives, onion, and green peppers. Even pineapples.

I walked into the kitchen to see Hannah and Ryan sitting at the table they looked tired.

"Hannah, Ryan? You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah," Ryan said. " this wedding planning is wearing us out."

"Come join us Nixie." Hannah said.

I sat across Hannah and Ryan.
Sinking my teeth in the perfect pizza felt so good. My teeth tingled fin the pizza being so warm.

"Hey," I said breaking the silence, "why don't we go to the beach tomorrow? To take a break from all of this stress."

They exchanged looks then smiled.

"That's a great idea, Nixie." Hannah said. "It would be great to have some relaxing time before the wedding."

"Yeah. We'll go first thing in the morning." Ryan added.
