*At Tammi's house*
"Tammi, we don't even know where Dustin's taking us? What if we are over-dressed?" Mary complained as she laid across Tammi's bed, snacking on a jar of peanut butter.
"Then we can always dress it down by wearing flats instead of heels." Tammi said as if it were common sense. Why is she so nervous? It's just a date with her boyfriend and me and Dustin. Tammi thought.
"But what if we are underdressed then?" Mary contemplated.
"Then we'll change back." Tammi said without pausing to think.
"Besides Joey loves you anyways, he doesn't care what you wear or what you look like. He loves you. Stop worrying Mary." Tammi said, ending Mary's worry once and for all, hopefully.
"But-" Mary tried to continue fretting.
"No buts. Now go get changed we only have a half hour for me to do your hair and make-up. Hurry up." Tammi said, ending the conversation completely.
Mary went o go get changed and Tammi flopped down on her bed, careful not to mess up her hair, trying to figure out why Mary was so upset.
"Tammi! I don't know how to do a corset dress!" Mary cried from the bathroom. Mary stepped back out of the bathroom with the dress half on. She seemed to be having a panic attack.
"Mary! Breathe! Sit down!" Tammi ordered and Mary sat, trying to slow her breathing.
"Now, whats bothering you so much that you're flipping out over your millionth date with him?" Tammi asked knowing the most direct route would get Mary to talk.
Tammi laced up the rest of Mary's pinky, short, bubbled corset dress as Mary spilled her worries to Tammi.
"I don't know whats wrong! He won't tell me. He's not telling me anything. He's not telling me something and its making me nervous. What could he be keeping from me?" Mary whispered, while playing with her thumbs.
"Don't worry Mary. I'm sure he'll tell you. It'll take time, just wait. I'm sure he'll tell you when he's ready. Now stand up and let me admire my beautiful creation." Tammi said, trying to sound reassuring and distract her from this strange fear.
Mary laughed and stood up. She looked absolutely gorgeous. The pink made her pale complexion and dark brown hair stand out, the dress hugged all of her curves, and it was so short that it made her seem taller, in a way.
Tammi sighed and said, "Perfect. Now just let me get dressed then I'll do your hair."
Mary had a few minutes to kill while Tammi got dressed. So she distracted herself by thinking about her outfit, she hoped Joey would like it. Suddenly Mary yelled out, "Tammi, I don't have shoes to go with the dress!"
Tammi laughed and walked out of the bathroom in her own amazing dress: a brightly colored, fun, fancy, strapless dress. She then crossed the room into her gargantuan closet and pulled out a pair of strappy silver heels and threw them at Mary.
"Now who is your best friend?" she asked with a grin on her face.
"Thank you." Mary sighed as she slipped them on. Tammi went back inside the closet and pulled out another pair, simple black peep toe pumps, and placed them on her feet as she walked back towards Mary saying, "Now for your hair."
Meanwhile, outside the boys were sitting in Joey's car debating on whether or not to pick up the girls early.
"Dude, why don't I get to drive my own car?" Joey asked breaking the silence that rested in the car.
"Cuz you don't know where you're going." Dustin responded.
"Then I'll follow you." Joey argued.
"Too late for your brilliance now, we are already here to pick them up." Dustin said.
"Have you told Mary bout the you know what yet?" Dustin asked changing the conversation.
"No." Joey said quietly to the window.
"And dude WHY NOT?" Dustin asked, staring at Joey like he was mentally insane.
"When do you plan on telling her? Eventually she's gonna see a magazine or watch the news or something and sees it then she'll be p.o.'d at us for keeping it from her. She's already asked me if you're cheating on her or something like that, dude, she's really freaking out. She knows you too well; she knows when you keep crap from her. Dude, have you ever thought of your best friend? How his girlfriend is going to react when she finds out? I need to tell her!" Dustin ranted.
"Fine, you know what. I'll tell her. I'll tell her tomorrow." Joey said unable to take in the information Dustin just told him. Mary was suspecting something, she had asked about him.
"Good. Wait…you promise?" Dustin said still reluctant.
"I, Joey Parker, promise that I will tell Mary tomorrow at school then you can tell your scary-ass girlfriend." Joey said with his right hand over his heart.
"Okay but I'm holding you to this. Let's go, they should be ready by now." Dustin said, getting out of the car.
Dustin went straight up to the doorbell and rang it while Joey hung back a little; he hoped that he had dressed up enough. He was wearing dress pants and a nice shirt and, in true Joey Parker fashion, his favorite hat. There was a lot of yelling, rustling, pounding and then Tammi opened the door, wearing a floor-length robe.
"Crap! You guys aren't supposed to be here for another 10 minutes! We aren't finished yet, go have boy time for 10 minutes." Tammi exclaimed.
Dustin looked at Joey and shrugged as they were shooed and locked out of the house. They walked back to the car to continue talking for another 10 minutes as Tammi rushed back upstairs to finish Mary's make-up.
*10 minutes later*
"Dustin! Joey! I know you guys are waiting in the car for us! Come ring the doorbell again!" Tammi screamed out of her second story window.
Dustin looked at Joey and laughingly said, "We're being summoned so that must mean that they are ready."
"Guess so." Joey said and climbed back out of the car.
They proceeded to walk up to the front door but this time before they could ring the doorbell Tammi whipped opened the door and welcomed the boys inside.
They both stood there gaping at the two girls.
"Good well that means we are ready to go." Tammi said and grabbed Dustin's arm while pulling Mary along. Joey tagged after them, opening the door for Mary.
"Thank you." Mary said as she tried to gracefully get in the back seat of the car.
Blondie : )
