2 months later...

Kim was sitting on the white bench with her head in her hands. Her body was restless and she needed to move or walk around ASAP. Another minute passed, then another, then another and another, and now she lost her temper. She got up, finally, and banged on the closed white door in front of her.

"Come out already." She screamed at Grace who was stuck inside the dressing room for the last fifteen minutes.

"Two minutes more." Her fainted reply came from behind the closed door and it annoyed Kim even more.

"That's exactly what you've been saying for the last twenty minutes." She screamed again with whatever energy she had left.

"Fifteen." Grace corrected.

Kim irritably rolled her eyes. She took her fighting stance and positioned herself to actually break the door. Fortunately, it opened before Kim's punch could make a nasty hole in it and the staffs would kick them out.

"What took you so..." She started, but taking a look at her brunette friend, her jaw dropped in astonishment. "...Grace, you look amazing." Kim complimented as her eyes repeatedly glanced her up and down.

She was wearing a spaghetti-strapped dark purple dress that reached slightly above her knees and had delicate, chiffon-fabricated purple flowers embedded all over the bodice. The decorated waistline differentiated the tulle skirt, which was puffy, but not too much, just the perfect amount and Grace's brown hair made everything stand out. She looked amazing.

"You're so buying this." Kim spoke once her impressed mouth closed again.

"I think it's a little loose. Should I-" She pinched the sides of her dress, making some space between the fabric and her skin.

"Buy it? Yes, you should." Kim cuts her off.

They proceeded to the billing counter and Grace was squeaking with joy as the lady behind the counter handed her the dress back. Kim was busy smiling over her friend's excitement.

"Let's find Steph and Rae." Grace tossed the paper bag over her shoulder and Kim nodded in approval.

Both of them walked to the second floor of Victoria's Secret and began searching for their other two friends. Kim went to the left as Grace began her search from the right.

They roamed around the floor with eyes focused as hawks. When no sign of them anywhere on the aisle, they continued their inspection in the dressing room. Rachel was sitting on the bench, probably waiting for Stephanie with a Caribbean blue gown in her hand.

"How's it going?" Grace planted her a question as she sat herself down beside her.

"Nothing. She's taking an eternity." She sighed, folding her hands to her chest.

"What takes you guys so long? You just have to put off some clothes and put them back on." Kim walked across the tiny room, agitated as usual.

The door-knob clicked opened and Stephanie revealed herself in a dress. An elegant one.

The dress was full in length, a ball-gown and it made her look tall. It was bright yellow in color, strapless and the chiffon ruffles and dark brown hair made her look like a Disney princess. The golden sequins were carelessly embedded on the waistline, having no clear seam line, and some golden patterns decorated the bodice. The embellishment was done very carelessly, but it looked fabulous. She looked fabulous.

"You look..." Grace was speechless.

"... just like Belle." Kim completed her sentence and Steph's cheek turned in a bright shade of pink. She exactly looked like Belle.
