~6 months later~
Tohru sat at the dining room table, not sure what to do except wait. She was waiting for Kagura, Kisa, Uo, Hana, and Rin to arrive so that they could help her pick out the wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses. She became very impatient with everything since her wedding day was in a week. She still had a lot more to do and she didn't even know how in the world she was going to manage to pick out two dresses and get them altered for her and the other girls in time for the scheduled date.
She anxiously shakes in her seat until she hears a knock at the door. She bolts away from the table and heads towards the door. She sees Kagura there but the others hadn't come yet.
"Oh, Kagura, it's nice to see you." ,Tohru greets her.
"Yes, thanks for inviting me. This is so exciting!" ,Kagura cheers.
"I wish I could say the same. But I'm just worried." ,Tohru said. "I really wish I would've gotten this done sooner. I've just been putting it off."
"Don't worry about it, Tohru. Just enjoy yourself during the whole experience. That's the most important part!" ,Kagura says, trying to comfort her as much as she could.
Tohru's worries went away instantly. "You're right. We should just enjoy ourselves."
"Exactly," ,Kagura points out. "So Kyo's not here?"
"No" Tohru smirks just a little. "He's out getting flowers with all the other guys."
Kagura couldn't contain herself at that point. She laughed so hard that Tohru was afraid that she would pass out. "Seriously?! I thought that was going to be our job!"
"I had originally planned for us to do the flower shopping but I need to focus on the dresses right now." ,Tohru mentions. " But we're all still going to arrange them together. Anyway, Kyo-Kun's been asking constantly if he could help in any way so I picked this job for him. Although, he seemed completely mortified by it"
"Well, yeah! Flower shopping is not a guys thing!" ,Kagura gets out in between her laughs. "I bet their all having the time of their lives right now."
They were having a good time with the whole flowers situation. But Tohru could feel the uneasiness settling inside her. "Kagura, you're not upset about the wedding, right?"
Kagura stopped laughing but still kept her smile. "Kyo's happy with you and that's all that matters. Besides, me and Kyo's relationship was complicated and it's hard for anyone to understand at all."
Tohru nodded and let it drop. She could tell Kagura didn't want to talk about it and that was fine. She was glad Kagura was fine with the wedding after all. She remembers when Kagura loved Kyo so much that she would show it by attacking him constantly in her most unusual way. Tohru still wasn't sure if Kagura loved him out of pity or not. She guessed that even she was unsure herself when she mentioned that their whole relationship was pretty much just complicated.
At that time all the others had arrived and Tohru was so happy to see all of them.
"Onee-Chan!" ,Kisa syas, happily as she runs to Tohru and hugs her.
"Kisa! Thank you for coming. Thanks to all of you for coming!" ,Tohru says.
"No problem. This is going to be fun anyway." ,Uo says. "Is Kyo out or something?"
"Yes, he's getting the flowers." ,Tohru says.
They all had the same reaction as Kagura had. Except for Rin, who only stood quietly at the back of everyone else.
"That's pretty sad." Uo says, regaining herself again.
"Well it's good he's not coming anyway. We should leave Tohru's dress as a surprise." ,Hana mentions.
"Yes,that will be a lot more funner!" ,Tohru agrees.
"Now we should get going." ,Kagura points out. "We're already running short on time."
"Yes, let's go.",Tohru said. They all pile into the car and Tohru drives them to the bridal shop downtown. Tohru couldn't contain herself. She was so excited to see all the pretty dresses and getting to try them on. This has been her dream for so long.
She held on to Uo's arm as they walked into the shop. "Oh, I just think I'm going to burst!" ,Tohru exclaims.
Uo giggles at her. "Tohru, even though you're getting married in a week, you're still as childish as ever. I just love it."
Tohru smiles at her, thinking how much of that was very true.
Once inside Tohru's eyes widened at the sight of all the dresses hanging on the racks of the store. She knew it was going to be difficult to pick just one dress for the bridesmaids and herself.
"They're all so pretty! This is so exciting Onee-Chan!" ,Kisa says.
"I know. I can't wait to pick them out." ,Tohru says.
"So where do we start, Tohru?" ,Hana asks.
Tohru thought for a moment. "Let's pick your guy's dress out first."
"Are you sure about that?" ,Uo says.
"A fine idea. That way we can leave Tohru's dress for the big finale."
Tohru grinned, loving that idea.
"Okay, that sounds great." ,Kagura says.
They went to the room where all the bridesmaid dresses were. They were all in so many different colors.
"That's right. What color were you thinking of for the dresses?" ,Kagura asks her.
"I haven't given it much thought." ,Tohru realizes suddenly.
"Black," ,Hana blurts out.
"You wish, Hanajima. I'm sure Tohru doesn't want the dresses to be that color." ,Uo says.
Tohru takes that suggestion into consideration. "Actually, black would be a nice color, Hana."
Hana nods, noticing her victory. Rin looked a bit pleased by the color choice herself.
"Really, Tohru? Are you sure that's the color you want?" ,Kagura asks, concerned.
"Yes, I love the idea of black dresses. It'll be great!"
At once, everyone decides to just go with it. "Okay. We'll do whatever you say." ,Uo says.
They all start going through the dresses with Tohru loving this whole new experience.
*I just love shopping for dresses. I act like Tohru does here whenever I do! :3
Well, bye for now!
