Wedding Dress Trauma : Lady Uchiha (sequel)

Chapter Two : Media, Media and More Media

Sakura's take-a-fun-bus-ride made simple guide: (written by Haruno Sakura )

Step 1: Pack your bags, change into 'ninja' slippers and get out of the office as fast as possible. You do not want to stay in that stinking office for another minute when you get the chance to leave.

Step 2: Say goodbye to the office building and make your merry way to the bus stand not too far from the Uchiha Corp. unless if you are late you need to dash!

Step 3: Happily wait at the bus stand and when the bus arrives get ready to board.

Step 4: Buy a ticket, find a seat and enjoy the ride!

That is the all-so-convenient made-simple guide to take a bus ride.

One of the reasons Sakura loved those rides especially when she get to sit at the end of the bus and watch the world go by through the window.

BUT!

That is all happening BEFORE she married THE Uchiha Sasuke. She did not know that she had the need to make a few unexpected amendments to her little guide.

Sakura's take-a-FUN-bus-ride made simple guide ( REVISED ): (written by Haruno Sakura )

Step 1: Pack bags, slip into 'ninja' slippers and get out of the office A.S.A.P. before the manager comes out to personally greet 'Good Day, ma'am'.

Step 2: Say goodbye to the receptionist and guards who tries to be friendly on the way out and happily waltz to the bus stand where other co-workers were at too.

Step 3: Stand while plastering a smile to everyone else at the stand.

"LOOK IT'S HER!" Sakura turned to the direction of the voice where a horde of paparazzi had her spotted from across the street.

This does not look good… taking steps backward, she had her feet on her mark into running if she had to. And just on time the bus is here.

Thank God! Now it's a race between the paparazzi and the bus.

Which will arrive first?!

If it is the paparazzi, she'll be drowned into the swamp of pesterers and miss the bus and she might even be late for dinner.

If the bus were to arrive first, she'll get on to safety and be on her merry way just according to her previous Step 4!

Please let it be the bus! She prayed hard when her heart started to gallop as the horrendous crowd inched their way to her.

Please let it be the bus! She prayed harder and so did the bus came…along with the paparazzi. An intersection of timing…Great!

Step 4 ( revised ): Run!

"MISS HARUNO! MISS HARUNO! MISS HARUNO!" they were after her and fast.

Sasuke did warn her about the many little things she need to be careful but not about some waiting paparazzi.

She knew her husband is famous but not THIS famous, come to think of it, he tend to wear shades during the day and night during their dates. And she practically nagged at him for that.

Yamanaka Flowers…

Sakura thanked God once more when she finally spotted the flower shop of her best and childhood girlfriend, Yamanaka Ino. Quickly she had to take cover before those paparazzi gain on her tail.

CLANG!

Ino's favourite Swiss bells…or cow bells to be exact, clanged to the dull tone in indicating an in-coming guest.

"Ah, welcome to my humble store, Mrs. Uchiha," the blonde female with sapphire eyes teased. "I see that you are having a hide-and-seek session with the paparazzi."

Sakura pant hard.

Some of Ino's in-store customers were already whispering among themselves, identifying her as the tycoon's wife.

"Yeah…" she managed to utter between the gaps of her pants. "So, is it done?" she asked.

"Yup, come with me…" Ino lead Sakura to another room, where a shimmering midnight blue dress stood stunningly. The pink haired female was like…

"Oh my…Ino you are a genius! It's gorgeous," Sakura had to get a better spectacle at the piece of work her best friend made.

"Of course, I want my girl to turn out the best and tell them even people who had SIZE can be beautiful. Moreover, you might want to stun your pretty boy," Ino winked. How could Sakura ever thank her more for such a favour.

Last week she was fretting over to find a proper dress for the coming ballroom party and there goes Ino coming up with the idea in making her one.

Least did she expect the blonde to have such talents in tailoring one.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Ino. You are the best!" Sakura gave a peck on her childhood friend's cheek.

"Now, now. Don't get over excited. Let's give it a try shall we?"

Moments later…

Pant. Pant. Pant.

Huff puff.

"Ready?" Sakura nodded as Ino was fully prepared for the final round on zipping up Sakura's dress. "One…Two…GRRAH-!"

And the next thing both girls heard something broke…

"Oh no…" Sakura quickly rushed to the mirror and saw a tragedy that has happened to her poor new dress. The zip broke!

"Ino, what are we going to do?"

Ino slumped into a bean bag out of exhaustion. She was also terrified at this but she could hardly express due to all the zipping process.

"I did not know that the dress was that tight, though I followed all the measurements perfectly," poor Ino continued to catch her breath. "Unless…" she held back.

"Oh no, I remembered I ate ice-cream the other day and fries and…oh no," Sakura held her head in misery to her mistake.

There isn't a choice but to get to work again and if she were to mend it, the dress could probably not make it for the party within days. Fixing a zip is a tedious process.

"I'll try my best, if it is going to burn the midnight oil…again," Ino don't sound too promising but for her girlfriend's sake, there is no helping it.

Uchiha Residence…

Pant. Pant. Pant.

Pant. Pant. Pant.

"Good Evening, Miss Sakura welcome—Goodness, miss what happened?" the butler was taken by surprise to see Sakura's terribly unruly hair and was all worn out.

"Pa..pa..ra..zzi…" she managed to utter between her pants. Those paparazzi were everywhere hunting her down. She just couldn't stand their badgering and intensive flashlights.

"Madam and young master Sasuke are waiting for you to dinner," the butler informed next, she is late after all.

"Yes…thank you," she thanked and hurried into the mansion.

The Uchiha mansion has been her home ever since besides being the girl who Sasuke usually brought home to meet his mother for evaluation.

In the end, she got to be his mother's daughter-in-law as to her wishes who always wanted a daughter.

Dinner At The Table…

Mikoto laughed when she learnt about Sakura's little paparazzi adventure recently and she is enjoying it. Sakura too thinks it was funny though she did not really like it initially.

"That's what you get for marrying my son, he is too popular among the ladies I say so myself," Mikoto continued to laugh.

"Mother," Sasuke growled, she is exaggerating which Sakura thinks it is the fact.

"But that is not all, paparazzi would be the new part in your life from now on, Sakura. Just don't take them too seriously and ignore them when necessary." Mikoto advised as a mother would be.

"And you need to brace yourself for the ballroom party, the media will be invited. SO, I came up with some dresses for you to pick on," with the merry of her tone.

So THAT was what she was trying to lead into. The dress matter, something she loves to.

Sakura was well aware of Mikoto's good deed, she never had a mother who would do such to her ever since she started NOT to fit into any clothing too easily. And as Uchiha Sasuke's wife, she might need to portray the perfect lady even when she had size.

This, is not going to be too easy either.

Author's ramblings:

Seriously, the fact that I do not really get to wear nice DRESSES anytime ( especially to parties – which discourages me from going ) is really upsetting ( it's not that I wanted it – tried many means and ways to solve the size prob ) that is one of the reason I preferred nice tees and shorts.

I love you all TEES and SHORTS in the world~XD
