Hey there!
Wedding dress is one of the GA fanfics I've left somewhere in my hard drive. =)) I started it sometime in 2008, but I stopped because of various reasons. then i found it again last June, and I decided to continue it.
But I didn't continue. I changed almost everything about it. :D

Chapter 1- Invitation
A woman clad in an elegant purple blouse, fitted black slacks, and black stilettos got out of the limousine in front of a mansion. She stopped for a moment, just to collect her thoughts, and then rang the doorbell.
"Who's this, please?" a voice said through the intercom. The woman sighed, because it was the annoying assistant, but then, she really had no choice about it. She replied with a question, "Is Mikan in?"
"Ah, Mrs. Nogi, yes, she's in. She's not so busy, so I think you can talk to her. Come in," was the answer of the assistant. The woman rolled her violet eyes as she entered, and when she got to the assistant, she said, "Of course I can talk to her anytime I want, Shizuka. I'm her bestfriend, and besides, I don't think she has any choice."
Shizuka stiffened in her seat. Ever since she started, she had been on the wrong side of her boss's friend. If the cold woman could control her boss, she sure would have been fired ages ago.
"Hotaru! What brings you here?" Mikan exclaimed as her bestfriend entered her work room. Hotaru replied, "Do I really need a reason to see you?"
Mikan nodded her head, and said, "Well, you always have a reason."
The other woman rolled her eyes, and then she handed the brunette girl a lavish envelope, while saying, "Here, have a look at that. An invitation to an engagement party."
"Really? Oh come on, Hotaru, you shouldn't have recommended me! I'm not so famous, you know," Mikan said, with a hint of laughter in her voice. Hotaru sent her a cold look, and told her, "I didn't recommend you to be the bride's fashion designer, I don't need to. And stop that I-am-not-famous act. Most of your clients are rich and famous, and your label's already known. Anyway, that's not the point why I want you to read it."
Mikan glanced at the names of the senders, while commenting, "What a lavish letter for just an engagement party. You'd think it's already the wedding." Then she placed the envelope on her desk. She took a deep breath, and the smile on her face grew bigger.
"Woah. Looks like I'm the only one not married. Or going to be. Do you think I should go and find a groom?" she said, and then laughed. Her raven haired friend didn't even crack a smile at her comment.
"Mikan, you know there's only one person who must be your groom. Don't joke about this thing, this is a serious topic. So, are you going or not?"
"I'll think about it. It still depends on my schedule, see. If I have important things to do on that day I won't be able to go. But I'll send my regards," Mikan replied, and then she changed the topic. "So, how are your twins? How's Ruka?"
Hotaru smiled, and replied, "They're all fine. The twins are right now with their uncle, I'll pick them up later. Ruka's coming back from US tomorrow." And then they chatted more about the twins, until Hotaru needed to go.
On the way out, Hotaru asked Shizuka about Mikan's schedule on that day. "Oh, she'll be in Paris, ma'am. There's a fashion show of a new designer," replied the faithful assistant. Hotaru went to her car rather disappointed.
When Mikan was left on her office room she grew quiet. She took a sip from her coffee, and then went to the gardens, thinking about the invitation. While mulling over the letter she remembered her bestfriend's words.
You know there's only one person who must be your groom.
Tears started forming in her eyes when she realized what was happening.
'And that person's going to be married already.'
For the lavish invitation now sitting on her working table bears his name. Hyuuga Natsume.
