"I can't wait for the Bluebell Festival!" Iridessa squealed. She and her friends were at Bella's Baubles picking out accessories to wear to the festival.
"Oh, I know, sug," Rosetta released a romantic sigh, "It's going to be positively dreamy. Oh, I hope Sled gets his act together and asks me to go with him!"
"I'm sure he will, Ro," Silvermist offered. She dangled a white gold necklace with tiny blue stones all over it, letting it twist and twinkle in the fading afternoon light.
"He'd be crazy not to!" Fawn tried to look interested in the conversation but was not interested in the party at all. She hated getting dolled up and trying to dance when she knew she couldn't. The Bluebell Festival was definitely not her thing, but she wanted to be supportive of her friends who all wanted to go. Even Vidia was looking oddly glowy over in the corner staring at a hair clip with silver tassels.
"Oh, guys! Look at this dress! Isn't it gorgeous?" Tinker Bell puffed. She held a bright leafy green dress, that spilled down onto the floor around her feet.
"If you like green," Vidia raised her eyebrow and then went back to examining the hair clip.
"You know, you should get it, Vidia," Tinker Bell smirked, motioning toward the silver thing in Vidia's hand. "I bet the guys will be falling all over you if you wear that!"
"It's just a hair clip," Vidia tried to sound derogatory but then smiled. "Do you really think someone would want to dance with me?"
"Honey, you ask that like it's a surprise to you," Rosetta flitted over.
"Well, I've never been to the Bluebell festival before," Vidia shrugged her shoulders.
"Never been?" Rosetta gasped.
"Why not?" Iridessa asked in disbelief.
"No guy ever asked me to go with him and I never had a group of friends to go with," Vidia looked sad for just a moment before smiling, "so it just never sounded like something I wanted to do...until now."
"Aww, well, I for one am glad you're coming with us this year! It's going to be flitterific!" Tinker Bell said emphatically.
"Yeah, and Tinker Bell's the only one with a date so far, and with the festival only a week away, it'll probably be all of us as a group anyway," Silvermist smiled.
"Now, Vidia, we'll help you pick out a dress," Rosetta spoke up. It should be easier helping you get ready for the festival than it is to get Fawn ready. Maybe she'll actually wear something presentable this year," Rosetta gave the Animal Fairy in the corner a look of disapproval as Fawn attempted to get the dirt out from under her nails. "And maybe bathe."
"Hey, I bathe!" Fawn stuck her tongue out at Rosetta. "And I have a dress, thank you, very much."
"You do?" Rosetta asked, incredulous. "You picked it out yourself?"
"God, stop worrying, Ro," Fawn laughed. "You'll love it."
"I'm sure I will," Rosetta said in a tone that suggested she wasn't sure at all. "But about you, Vidia, do you have any preferences on dresses?"
"Uhm," Vidia looked at the girls nervously. "Not really. Just nothing frou-frou. I'm not like you guys. I look awkward in a big poofy dress."
"You wouldn't if you'd let Rosetta help you," Iridessa pointed out.
"She's right," Rosetta nodded to Iridessa. "I could make you look fabulous!"
"Fine," Vidia sighed. "I'll play along, but I get veto power over any dress Rosetta picks out!"
