Hi everyone! So this is my new story, it will probably me three chapters top. Before we start, let's clarify some things:

All of them are 24-25, duh, Sophie is of marrying age.

Sophie and Agatha are not sisters, just friends.

That's all! Please enjoy this fic! And do leave a review!

Agatha had known Sophie for as long as she could remember. They had been through everything together, and they would always be there for each other. If Agatha knew one thing about Sophie it was: she had always wanted to get married. She dreamt of a fairy tale wedding, with a fairy tale dress and a fairy tale prince. And she got it, which was great! But it also meant a lot of pains, all because of Sophie's 'needs', and it all started like this:

Agatha had stayed at home that day, it was a Sunday, which meant no work today, just her and her TV, plus a movie marathon. She worked really hard all week long, and she needed a couple of days to rest from all the agitation.\

She lived in a small apartment in New York by herself; she and Sophie had been roommates for a while, until the latter moved out to live with her boyfriend. Since then, Agatha lived by herself, well, she had her cat, Reaper. Agatha didn't really care, so far, she was pleased with her life, even if people constantly asked if she had a boyfriend and then gossiped about her singleness.

As she had stood up to go and warm her lunch, leftovers from last night's dinner, she happily hummed to herself without a reason, smelling the scent of chicken coming from her microwave. She took it out and was heading to eat, just as she heard her doorbell.

Strange, the only person who ever visited was…

"Agatha! Are you there? I have super important news!" Sophie squealed from the other side of the door.

"Coming!" Agatha yelled back, what could Sophie have to say? She just hoped it wasn't something shallow and irrelevant. She opened the door and Sophie came in; she was clad in a pink dress with black polka dots, and a denim jacket over it. Her blonde hair looked flawless, like always. One last thing about Sophie; she's a model, which makes her famous and rich, and allows her to stay on top of every trend, hence, why she always looks fabulous.

"Hey, how—

"I'm engaged! Can you believe this? I can!" Sophie interrupted, showing off a huge diamond ring. Agatha widened her eyes in surprise. She wanted to say so many things, but it was as if she couldn't speak.

"Sophie…that's great! I'm so happy for you!" Agatha finally exclaimed in response. Sophie had been dating a guy named Rafal for a little over a year, and he finally had taken the big step.

"I know! It was so romantic, you wouldn't believe it!" Sophie exclaimed excitedly, while Agatha looked at the ring. It was huge, and it shone so brightly. Sophie laughed at Agatha's ogling eyes.

"This is all I ever wanted to be honest, he's definitely perfect." Sophie sighed dreamily, then continued, "Anyway, so we went to have dinner at this really fancy place, and then we just walked down Central Park, and out of nowhere, he says 'he's really happy we're together and he has never been happier', and I smiled and said I was really happy too. And he got down on one knee and he said 'he loves me more than he thought it was possible and that I'm everything he always dreamt about and then HE PROPOSED AND I ALMOST PASSED OUT! But I managed to keep conscience and said yes and we kissed and I swear it was the best night ever!" Sophie squealed, while Agatha smiled at Sophie.

"That's great, congratulations! I really am happy for you!" Agatha commented, while Sophie still smiled.

"Yeah it is! Now that that is done, I came here to ask something very important" Sophie took a deep breath and asked, "Agatha Woods, would you be my maid of honor?" Agatha laughed at Sophie's dramatics but nodded her head.

"Of course! But please, don't put me in a ridiculous dress, and by that I mean a pink dress" Agatha warned, Sophie rolled her eyes.

"Oh please, I have a great sense of style. Besides, I don't think pink will be one of the colors for the wedding, maybe red and black will, those go great together!" Sophie assured, while Agatha smiled at her.

"I hope so…are you two going to start planning the wedding soon?" Agatha asked, Sophie nodded her head violently.

"Hell yeah! We need to decide a date first, but yeah! Probably in 6 months, but we'll have to see. Rafal and I need to see what works best for us, and even though we have a good amount of money, it's the bride's family that pays, so…we'll probably have a budget, even though it'll probably be at least 25 grand…" Sophie explained. Agatha nodded.

"This is actually very exhilarating, even if I don't care about weddings" Agatha said, Sophie squealed again. At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Agatha asked, and a guy's voice came:

"It's Tedros! Sophie said she had important news and 'needed to meet me ASAP'' Agatha looked at Sophie, she just shrugged.

"Whoops, may have offered your address as a meeting place. Sorry!" Sophie apologized, while Agatha opened the door. Tedros stepped in through it, wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans, looking mildly confused.

"Tedros! I'm engaged!" Sophie cried loudly, extending her hand for him to see her ring.

"What? Oh my God! That's, that's, wow that's huge! Congratulations!" Tedros managed to say, Sophie looked away, and Tedros mouthed to Agatha 'that's a huge ring'. Agatha agreed with him.

"Thank you! See the ring? He knows how to please his woman, unlike someone else…"Sophie alluded. Tedros glared at her. They had dated a couple of years ago, and sometimes they still argued over old feuds. Ironically, they remained friends in an interesting series of events.

"Anyway, the thing is that she's engaged and we're all happy for her" Agatha interrupted, getting between the two.

"Yeah! Dang Sophie, I hope my future wife doesn't see this, it will give her too many high expectations" Tedros pointed out goofily, Sophie laughed.

"Shouldn't you at least have a girlfriend to be worrying about engagement rings?" Agatha asked Tedros. He pouted, then smirked.

"We could solve that, couldn't we?" Agatha blushed ten shades of red, while Sophie just gasped.

"I-I, no! Why would I do that?" Agatha weakly replied. Even if she did have a tiny crush on him, she wouldn't expose herself like that.

"You two can hook up for all that I care, just don't steal my thunder" Sophie commented, Tedros rose his eyebrows, while Agatha glared at her.

"So, if you're thinking for your wedding to be in 6 months then that would mean October?" Agatha asked, swiftly changing the subject.

"Yes! Exactly, again, we need to agree on it, but that's what I have in mind!" Sophie assured, flipping her head.

"That's a good time range, not a lot of weddings on October either" Tedros complied, nodding his head.

"Tell you what, I say we all go get lunch! I pay!" Sophie cried happily, wrapping her arms around Tedros and Agatha.

"Where to?" Agatha asked, surprised by Sophie's generosity.

"I don't know! I'll drive and see!" Sophie offered, and the three headed out to eat.

None of them aware of how the next six month would play out. Unfortunately, they would be long…

As the months progressed, Agatha dealt with a lot of Sophie's pointless requests, crazy mood swings and diva behaviors. Sophie was like that always, but it was like 10 times worse than usual.

First, it was the dress. There were still three months before the wedding, but Sophie wanted to do it as soon as possible. Sophie dragged Agatha to a highly exclusive dress store, since she didn't want to go alone. Agatha had no choice but to agree, since she was in no mood to argue with Sophie.

"It's going to be so much fun! Besides, I've always wanted to buy my dress at this store" Sophie had said as they had entered the boutique.

When they arrived, Agatha simply took a seat and waited while Sophie went to look for something worthy. And for some odd reason, Agatha knew Sophie wouldn't pick the first dress she tried on.

They spent hours in the blasted store. Sophie tried on 19 dresses before finding the one. One was too puffy, one was too tight, another one made her look fat, just to mention a few of the problems she encountered. Even the employee at the store was getting more frustrated with each dress. After three hours, Agatha was tired of sitting, and she didn't dare to complain, she wasn't going to risk a tirade from Sophie. She understood it was important to find the perfect dress and all, but after the fifth try at the store, Agatha would've given up.

But after hours of unsuccessful findings, Sophie found a dress. Hallelujah! And she looked absolutely beautiful: It was a strapless mermaid dress, with a slender belt made of crystals. Finally, the skirt was made of delicate ruffles, while the bodice had lace details all over it. Sophie walked over Agatha, her face had smile plastered on it.

Sophie took a look at herself in the mirror, and she gasped loudly. Agatha crossed her fingers, hoping Sophie would approve.

"This…is so beautiful…"Sophie breathed, while the girl who helped her put a veil over hear head.

"Sophie you look so beautiful…" Agatha added, marveled at her best friend's beauty.

"Thank you…this is it. This is the dress." Sophie decided, tearing up a little at her sight. Agatha clapped and the young employee cheered.

"Great! You look stunning, nobody is going to be able to look away from you, especially the groom," The employee commented, Sophie grinned.

"Thank you! Aggie, now we just need the bridesmaids dresses!" Sophie announced, Agatha frowned. She thought of a horrible pink dress in her mind…

"Please do that without me…." Agatha replied, holding back a groan. Sophie simply laughed.

Agatha doubted any of the bridesmaids would be pleased about it.

When there were two months left, the moment everybody was waiting arrived: the invitations were sent. Agatha went to her mailbox and saw a bunch of bills in there, but there was an extra white envelope. Agatha widened her eyes; Sophie had said the invitations had been sent, but she wasn't aware she would get it tonight.

As she made her way over the elevator, she tore open the envelope and took out the fine invitation. It had black swirls at the side and it was written in cursive, it read:

Mr. and Mrs. Lovelock

Request your presence at the wedding of their daughter

Sophie Lovelock

To

Rafal Blackwell

Saturday the twenty-second of October

Two thousand sixteen

At six in the evening

Via Aurelia, 481, 00165 Roma, Italy

Please RSVP

The elevator made a 'ding!' sound that snapped Agatha from her thoughts. Did she read this correctly? Was Rome really the real place? This had to be a joke, there was no way it was really in Italy, as in, overseas Italy. Agatha wasn't even sure if her passport hadn't expired yet! As she went into her apartment, she looked for her phone, and when she found it, she dialed Sophie's number immediately.

"Hello?" Sophie's voice came from the other side.

"Hi, um, I just got your invitation and I wanted to confirm if I read this correctly; is it really in Rome?" Agatha asked incredulously.

"Yes it is! Isn't that great? I know it's really extravagant, but Rafal and I decided it would be pretty romantic. Besides, we didn't like any of the venues we saw here in New York." Sophie confirmed, leaving a really surprised Agatha.

"Oh…well, that's interesting. I need to start looking for a hotel…"Agatha said.

"Silly! The place where we're getting married it's a hotel and a church! It's really cheap by the way, only $85 per night. Isn't that practical?"

It would be more practical if it was in the U.S…' Agatha thought

"Yeah…thanks for confirming that…" Agatha added, "Talk to you later, bye"

"Bye!" And with that, Sophie hung up.

Agatha rubbed her temples; a ticket for Rome wasn't going to be cheap. She could see the number fill her mind and suddenly she couldn't breathe. Her finances would suffer from this wedding; she just hoped something good would come out of this.

A few minutes later, her phone went off. It read Hester's name. Oh no. She must have gotten the invitation, and she definitely couldn't forfeit this wedding. She was a bridesmaid, if she forfeited, Sophie would try to kill her. Not that Hester really cared, but still…

"Hello?" Agatha said.

"Did you see the invitation? What the actual fuck is wrong with her?! A flight to Rome it's fucking expensive!" Hester angrily demanded. Agatha had to agree with her point.

"I know, I know…and she is serious…I just don't even want to think about it right now…" Agatha offered, she heard Hester inhale and exhale.

"Does she think everybody is as rich as her?! I swear, I could just stay here for all that I care" Hester complained.

"Oh come on, I know it's…ridiculous, but Sophie really wants you there! And you really don't want to mess up her wedding party arrangements…" Agatha trailed off. There was a long pause.

"Fine. I'll try to go, just because you asked me and I actually like you. Gotta go, bye" Hester hung up before Agatha could say 'bye' herself.

She sighed. They were definitely in for a treat.

After the fuss over the invitations were over, the agitated guests calmed down a bit. Agatha was still in shock, but she didn't say much about it. She did hear Anadil and Dot whine about the whole thing. Anadil was almost as pissed as Hester, while Dot just complained about the price, but added that Rome must be beautiful, so she was really excited.

"It will be so amazing!" Dot had said. Anadil and Hester had glowered at her.

One day, while Agatha was leaving work, she found Tedros waiting for her in front of the office. Weird. They did work together, but Tedros was in a much higher position than her. Besides, he usually left much later than her, what could he possibly want?

"What do you want?" Agatha asked bluntly. She didn't mean to sound rude, but it came out like that.

"Well, I want to propose something" Tedros replied, not helping Agatha's confusion.

"Okay…what is it?" She asked, frowning.

"Since we're both going to travel over to Italy, and we're doing so alone, why don't we schedule our flights for the same day? I mean, you haven't traveled that much internationally, but I have, and that could help. And, do you really want to spend 8 hours in a plane with nobody to talk to?" Tedros explained. Agatha mentally debated whether to do so or not. He did have a point about international flights….

"Hmm…that works for me. When would we leave?" Agatha asked Tedros.

"What about the 21st? One day before the wedding, or the 20th?" Tedros suggested, Agatha tapped her chin while she thought.

"20th, otherwise I will be exhausted on the day of the wedding." Agatha decided. Tedros nodded.

"When would we leave? 24th?" Tedros inquired.

"Yeah, 24th works. I don't want too much agitation…"Agatha uttered, while Tedros nodded in agreement.

"I think that's enough time for us to rest, go to the wedding, then rest from the wedding, and then leave" Tedros pointed out

"I agree" Agatha answered, feeling unsure of what to do next. Standing by herself with Tedros in the streets in the middle of the night was really strange to say the least.

"Would you like to go and get dinner?" Tedros asked out of nowhere. Agatha felt the blood rush to her face.

Be calm, be calm. It's not a date Agatha needed to remind herself.

"I, I would love to" Agatha answered stupidly. So much for trying to sound calm and composed. Tedros smiled at her, which did not help Agatha's state.

"Great, there's this really good diner down the street, want to try it?" Tedros asked, Agatha nodded.

"Yeah, that's perfect" Agatha replied. Be cool, be cool.

"Then let's go and get my car and we'll head for dinner" Tedros offered, Agatha nodded and followed him.

Currently, Agatha was about to pass out. She didn't get crushes very often, and having one on Tedros was so…flat out weird. Agatha didn't know how it all happened, at some point they became friends and…well, she has a hopeless crush on him. She felt like a high-schooler again. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to spend 8 hours in a plane with him, actually, more than that, counting the hours they spent at the airport.

Dress fittings were Agatha's least favorite words. When Sophie announced she had the dresses for her party, there were only three weeks left. Sophie was running around to get everything to be perfect. She even hired a wedding planner, and even that poor girl was stressed out.

Agatha, Hester, Anadil and Dot all met up Sophie at the store, Dot being the only one that was excited. The other three didn't trust in Sophie's judgement. At all.

"I just hope it's not pink and puffy" Hester grumbled. Agatha nodded her head in avid agreement.

SO when Sophie showed up and handed them the dresses, Agatha was pleasantly surprised. It was a bright red, strapless short dress. It reached just above the knee, while the back was a little longer, and it was adorned with lace. Finally, a cute black sash was tied at the waistline and it had bow on the front. Agatha had to admit, it wasn't that bad, it was actually…nice.

"Oh Aggie you look so cute!" Sophie squealed excitedly, then said, "Are you three coming out or not?"

"Do I have to wear a dress?" Hester asked.

"Yes, you do" Sophie snapped. Hester begrudgingly left her fitting room, obviously uncomfortable in her garment.

"I hate it" Hester complained. Sophie rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Too bad, you're wearing it" Sophie retorted, glaring at Hester. Hester glared back. Anadil and Dot came out a second later. Dot seemed pretty happy with it, Anadil was still unsure of it.

"It's…it's okayish" Anadil said, some disgust in her voice.

"This it's so cute! It actually looks good!" Dot cheered, looking at her reflection.

"It was really hard to find a dress in four different sizes to be honest…"Sophie commented, "but it was worthy!"

"Was it?" Hester asked dryly. Sophie completely ignored that comment.

"Well, I will keep them and you'll have them the day of the wedding. You can all change back into your clothes" Sophie said, and they all walked over to their respective fitting room.

They all left after they finished, even Sophie joined them. Sophie ignored all of Hester's complaints and just walked casually. Instead, she decided to hear the positive comments.

"I got to admit, the dresses are quite cute" Agatha told Sophie, the latter smiled widely.

"Why, thank you. I told you they were going to be cute."

The quintet all went their separate ways, knowing the following weeks would fly by.

Agatha's alarm went out loudly. She sleepily hit it, and it stopped. She sat up, rubbed her eyes and looked at her clock; 5:01, just in time. She was leaving today for Italy. She and Tedros agreed to meet by her apartment. Tedros would get them a cab and they would head out to La Guardia.

Agatha had been packed for two days, so she could just dress that day and leave. She put on a pair of black jeans, combat boots and a black and white striped shirt. She brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, took her keys and before she left, she gave her apartment a last look. She was ready.

She went down the elevator and exited the building. Tedros was standing there, a taxi behind him. He was wearing a jacket over a blue shirt and jeans, he looked like he barely slept. He managed to smile weakly at Agatha.

"Hey" He said, Agatha waved at him.

"Hi" She said, letting out a yawn. The taxi driver got out of the car and helped her with her suitcase. After they put it in the trunk, they got in the car and started driving.

"We're here, can you believe we're going to Rome?" Tedros asked Agatha, she shook her head.

"I can't believe Sophie it's getting married" Agatha replied. Tedros nodded.

"And to think we all met because I started dating her…weird" Tedros pointed out.

"And then you turned out to work for the same company as me talk about irony" Agatha commented.

"True, true…do you have everything?" He asked Agatha.

"I hope so" She replied, managing to put a grin on her face. Tedros grinned back and then rubbed his face.

"The day has barely started and I'm already tired" Tedros mumbled.

"I feel the same way. I'm not looking forward to this flight" Agatha confessed.

"I don't blame you" Tedros agreed, looking from the window to Agatha, "so, we'll be arriving at about 8ish to Italy, maybe later, should we try and see the city?"

"I don't know, I'll probably be super tired…but I've always wanted to see the Colosseum. I don't even think that's close by to the hotel" Agatha answered. She had wanted to go Italy, she just never expected it for it to go this way.

"That's nice. I've always wanted to see it too, Rome looks pretty interesting." Tedros agreed.

"Hey, thanks for coming up with this idea…I really wouldn't have liked to do this by myself" Agatha felt herself say. Tedros smiled at her.

"No problem. Let's just hope we can have fun"

"Yeah, let's hope"

They were definitely in for a treat.

What do you think so far? Is it okay? I hope it is! I just thought about this a while ago and finally got to writing it!.
