"Wow! Rinoa, you look so pretty! Squall is going to absolutely faint when he sees you walking down the aisle!" Selphie Tilmitt said joyfully, fussing over Rinoa's wedding dress. It was a beautiful, white, strapless ball gown esc dress with long, fingerless gloves. Her hair was pinned up with blue butterfly clips and assorted sparkly hair accessories. Rinoa's make up was soft and fitting for her: the kind of look that was perfect for the raven-haired sweetheart. She beamed down at Selphie from the table she was standing on and clutched her bouquet of blue roses.
"Thanks, Selphie! You're so sweet!" Rinoa thanked happily.
"She really is right, Rinoa. You look, well, breathtaking." Quistis Trepe said, giving a weak smile. She was really trying to be happy for Rinoa, she really was. But the big green monster reared its ugly head. Quistis Trepe had nobody and right then, she was beginning to feel it would always be like that. She looked at herself in the full-length mirror that was in the room. She was in the same baby blue, long, form-fitting dress that Selphie was in. They were both Maids-of-honor. Quistis' hair was in a tight bun with a little tiara in it to keep it up. ~Am I ever going to get married? First Rinoa's getting married and then Selphie will be, too. She's already been engaged to Irvine for two months now. When will I find that special someone? You know the saying . . . 'always a bride's maid, never a bride.' Me to a T.~ Quistis thought, sighing.
"Quistis . . . are you feeling down?" Rinoa asked, concerned.
" . . . I guess I am a little. I'm just worried I'll never be happy like you and Squall are." Quistis said, turning to her friend. Rinoa hopped off the table just as Selphie finished the last touches and put her hand on the older girl's shoulder.
"Oh, Quisty, don't think that! Someday, you'll find someone that makes you happy like Squall makes me. I'm sure of it! Any single guy would be crazy to pass a nice girl like you up, understand? You will find someone. I don't know when . . . I don't know how. But trust me . . . it will happen." Rinoa declared, giving Quistis a hug.
"Yeah, Quis. Rinny's right! You'll find someone and live happily ever after! I know it!" Selphie said positively. Quistis smiled as her eyes began to well up with tears.
"Aw! Now I remember why I love you guys so much! Group hug!" Quistis cried as she and her two friends hugged.
~*~ Later, at the reception . . . ~*~
At the reception, everyone was eating, chatting and being just plain happy. Quistis talked to Rinoa an Squall, congratulating them and asking about their plans. She felt a lot less lonely by then until the 1st dance came on. Squall and Rinoa looked so blissful and all the other couples began to join in. Zell was with his girlfriend, Ozzalyn, and Irvine was with Selphie. Then she spotted a cute guy in the corner. He had soft flipped sandy-blonde hair and frosty gray-blue eyes. He didn't appear to be dancing with anyone, so she sucked in a breath and courageously got up the nerve to ask him.
Author's Notes: I hope you liked it! Rinoa's wedding dress was based on my cousin-in-law's who designed her own dress, so I'm giving her credit. I'd like to say 'Hi' to Kamela! Hi, Kamela! ^_^ Thanks for reading and I hope you read more! ^_^
