First I'd like to thank Magnus Scheving for creating Lazy Town. I do have fun writing with the characters. I hope those of you who have read my stories enjoyed them. Thank you.
Wedding Day-
"Oh my! Oh my!" Bessie was running around frantic with her sister on her heels.
"Bessie! I can't do your hair if you're running all over the house!"
"But I can't find my something old! Where is it?"
"Bessie, you will look like a scarecrow if you don't sit still!" She tried to grab her arm but missed.
Elena and Stephanie and Trixie ran in the room in time to see Bessie tearing apart the house. "Now what?" Trixie asked, who had refused to get dressed until the last possible moment to which Bessie was protesting. She had been watching Bessie go all over the place all morning.
"Bessie, just tell us what we can do to help." Stephanie offered.
"You must find my something old! It's missing! Ahhh! Oh no! The wedding is falling apart!"
Elena had been observing Bessie all day and while she understood she was nervous, she couldn't understand why she was this frantic. But she was there to help make things easier and she was going to her best.
"Bessie!" Betty took hold of her sister. "The wedding is not falling apart! But it will if you don't focus! Breathe!"
Trixie shook her head.
Bessie looked at her sister and started to clam down... A bit. "But what about-"
"Ap ap, ap." Her sister interrupted.
"But my-"
This time she raised a finger.
Elena stepped forward. "Bessie, why don't you tell us what you're looking for and we'll find it so you can concentrate on getting ready."
Her sister have her a stern look. "Very well. My something old. It's an old bottle of perfume. It belonged to my grandmother."
"Alright girls, look. Bessie, bathroom!" She led her out.
"Her grandmothers perfume? Is she kidding?"
"Trixie! C'mon let's split up. I'm sure we'll find it."
They searched the house and didn't find any sight of it. They sat down on the sofa, worried.
"Oh great! Bessie's going to flip." Stephanie whispered.
"I-..." Elena wrinkled her nose and made a face.
The girls looked at her then caught wind of what was making Elena's nose wrinkle. They all got up but the scent was stronger on the ground. They got on all fours and sniffed around. Which, for Stephanie and Elena, was not easy in their dresses. They all converged on the floor under a coffee table. They took a sniff and-
"Ewwww!" Trixie and Stephanie moved back while Elena bravely picked it up with two fingers, holding it at arms length with a sour face.
"Oh man!" Trixie coughed. "If she wears that to the wedding, everyone including the mayor, is going to turn tail and run!"
"We have to get rid of this." Stephanie agreed.
"Wait!" Elena spoke up still trying to escape the scent at the end of her wrist. "We can't just-" the smell was too much. "Ugh. Nevermind." She strained. "But we have to find something old and fast."
"Girls! Have you found it yet?"
They could hear her footsteps approaching. Elena tossed it to Stephanie so she could get up. If Bessie caught them on the floor in their dresses...Stephanie made a face and threw it to Trixie then got up.
Trixie caught it by the pump, which sprayed her clothes. "Oh no! Gross!" Trying to wave away the stench. She tossed it back to Elena and ran upstairs. Elena didn't know which way to go or where to get rid of it. She ran next to Stephanie who looked around and lifted up a couch cushion. Elena quickly tossed it under and the two immediately sat down as Bessie entered the room with her hair finally done.
"No. Not yet." She lied.
"What? What am I going to do?"
"Stay calm. We will find your something old." Her sister reassured.
"I have an idea! I'll be right back!" Stephanie lifted her gown and ran out. Elena awkwardly smiled.
Bessie gasped. "I forgot! I need something borrowed!"
"I know!" Elena picked up her dress and hurried out of the room.
"Oh dear."
"Bessie, everything will be fine. You're almost done."
After a few minutes Elena came back. "Here!"
Bessie opened the blue material with a black and white stripe. "Sportacus's hat?"
"Um, yeah. It's borrowed."
"I can't exactly wear it."
"Wrap it around the base of your bouquet. That should suffice." Her sister cocked her head. "Why do you have his hat?"
"Well, I, um. I took it..." Sportacus first earned Elena's trust by showing her his Elven ears. She didn't like the fact that he hid them and kept pulling it off. She didn't do it as much as she used to but, this morning she'd playfully pulled it off since he wouldn't be needing it for the wedding. "I just forgot to give it back."
"Oh." Bessie simply said.
Stephanie burst back in the door a little out of breath. She held up a coin. "This is a very old coin I found when I first came to Lazy Town. I've always considered it good luck." She handed it to her.
Bessie examined it. "An 1886 silver dollar." She took a breath. "Oh, this will be perfect. Thank you, dear."
Footsteps from the stairs were heard and all eyes turned to see Trixie in a red short sleeved gown.
"Trixie! You look great!" Stephanie walked over to her.
"Really?" She felt silly wearing a dress but the compliment made her feel good. "Well, don't get used to it. It's the only time you're gonna see me in a dress."
"Alright Bessie. We only have one thing left to do."
"The wedding dress." Bessie whispered. Bessie and her sister left the room and when they returned Bessie was in her wedding dress. "Well?"
"Bessie," Stephanie started. "You look beautiful."
"Not too shabby." Trixie added.
"You look like a bride." Elena smiled.
"Ok my dear sweet sister, let's get you married."
