Well that was quite a surprising turnout… I was NOT expecting to get reviews for more, but ok, here goes! X33
"NO, NO, NO! THE FLOWERS HAVE TO BE RED AND SKY BLUE!... NO! CRIMSON RED, THE COLOR OF YOUR GODDAMNED FUCKING BLOOD! … YES! THANK YOU!" Dave hung up her cell and sighed at it then turned her attention towards John. "'Sorry 'bout that' god that woman was useless. How do you even get a different shade of red?" She stared at John and he felt he should respond.
"Why're you asking me? I'm a guy. We only have like three shades and that's our favorite color, dirty, and clean."
Dave smiled at him. Today she was going to go wedding dress shopping with Rose and Jade and after that she's picking out a musician. 'I should help her with this, but it's forbidden.' Dave wanted to handle this on her own but she stays up late most of the time and never has time for video games anymore. 'I kind of miss it…'
John looked up from his thoughts and examined Dave's outfit. She was wearing a sweatshirt with a gear on it, a denim skirt (Jade's idea) and some black leggings (Rose's idea). It was as if she wasn't even going shopping for the most important day of her life in half an hour.
"Since Jade and Rose aren't here yet, I'm gonna call the musician group I was thinking of." Dave pulled her cell out of her pocket and dialed a number, but before she could hit call John snatched her phone. "You need to relax a little, Dave. You're working yourself too hard. Let ME handle the musicians." Dave stared at John, closed her eyes, kissed John on the cheek and took her phone back.
"No."
"Ok, Dave you aren't trusting me enough! Why don't you let me pick SOMETHING?" John pleaded, giving her huge puppy dog eyes.
"Well… We still need to pick out stationary for the invitations…" If John were a dog, his ears would have perked up. He was good, REALLY good, at pick stationary. He used to actually work in a stationary store after he graduated from high school. While he was there, he learned what good and bad stationary are. It couldn't be more perfect!
"Dave, if you let me pick the stationary, you can pick out my tuxedo." John knew Dave had wanted to do this from day one but he had called 'husband dibsies' and reserved the right. But he wanted to help her so much, he would give it up to her, Jade and Rose.
Dave looked like she was gonna explode if she didn't agreed so took a piece of paper, wrote a document stating a trade of jobs and signed it himself. He then handed Dave the pen and she signed it, laughing so hard she almost doubled over. John had to hold her steady so she didn't faint but while he was hugging her she had fallen asleep in his arms.
John smiled and took her to their shared room (A/N: Yeah, Dave convinced Bro to let her live with John since they WERE getting married) and let her sleep for 15 more minutes. He went back out to the living room and waited for Jade and Rose to come whisk her away to Wedding Dress land.
Then he nodded off a bit and before he knew it the door flew off the hinges.
"JOHN! I TOLD YOU THAT IF YOU WERE GOING TO FALL ASLEEP, THEN TO AT LEAST UNLOCK THE DOOR!"
John shot up and ran to wake up Dave. He opened the door and shook Dave a bit until she mumbled something like "Fuck Bro get the hell out I'm sleeping," and gave a weak middle finger. John smirked and poked Dave's left inner thigh and she sprang up and slapped him. "What the hell John, don't do that!" then she lowered her voice and added "Yet."
John laughed and said the girls are here and as if on cue, Jade and Rose stuck their heads in the doorway. Rose walked in and said "This place is filthy! How do you live like this?" Jade said "It looks a bit too cozy in here so I'm gonna wait for you two to finish." And she walked back to the kitchen to make some coffee for Dave.
Rose said "I'll join you Jade," and left to the kitchen after her.
The two stayed silent until Dave spoke. "Where are my shades?" John replied "I think they're in the living room, along with a shit ton of wedding magazines and a signed piece of paper clearly stating that I'M picking the stationry." He flopped on the bed with her and she pulled him in for a hug. "I'm glad you proposed. This is a lot of fun." And she smiled up at John. He smiled back at her and gave her a kiss on the lips. Dave kissed back then got up to go to the kitchen.
"Have fun!" John called and he heard Rose say "I'm sure you two already had your fair share of 'fun' in there."
He then heard the sound of Dave punching Rose or at least attempting but Bro had given Rose flash stepping classes and Rose merely blocked it with a plant.
"Ow! Rose, at least pick a pillow next time! Now I have to get a new vase and clean this up…"
John got up and went into the kitchen, looked at the mess, and said "You guys go, I'll clean this up. I'll also swing by Target to get a vase on my way to the stationary store."
"John you're helping to much!" Dave whined. John countered with "No, you're doing too much and I'm doing too little. You can't go at this alone! I'm here for a reason, and I'm going to help as much as I can. Now you guys go shop and stuff and I'm going to clean up."
Dave spoke softly "John you don't have to-" John cut her off. "No Dave, I don't have to. I want to."
And so, Dave, Jade and Rose went to go get the perfect dress and John did his fair share, even though it wasn't much.
He couldn't wait for this to be over with, because the only thing he wanted most in the world was to be married to Dave.
Wow. That wasn't half bad! Again, I'm reeeeeally sorry I'mAnAllAmericanReject, you're idea is just fascinating! So anyone reading whom is lost, go read I'mAnAllAmericanReject (that's a mouthful)'s story series, Dave Strider: Be A Girl. Bai!
