A/N: Hey, sorry for the late update. I've been real busy, but here it is. Hope you like it.

Bad Idea

I walked up the stairs and rang the doorbell. I waited for a while and heard an "I'm coming!" from behind the door. Orihime opened the door with one hand holding a whole bunch of papers and the other frantically filing through them. She had her phone between her shoulder and the side of her head and she had an exhausted look on her face. She looked up at me and her eyes shined.

"Rukia!" She said. "Oh, um…can I call you back later, please? Uh-huh. Gotchya, no problem. K, bye…" Orihime turned off the phone and blew her hair out of her face.

"Hey, Rukia. Waddup?" She grinned at me and motioned me inside.

"What's up with you? You look really tired and fed up." I told her.

"Oh, well, let's just say that organizing a major school prom is NOT easy." She answered. "So why'd you stop by?" She questioned me.

"What? Can't visit a friend?" I asked her with a grin.

"The last time you came was last Christmas." She said. "When I made that AMAZING lasagna with blueberries, gummy bears, and crackers. Delicious! Remember that?" She asked me, her eyes gleaming.

My stomach churned inside as I remembered that dark day of my whole eating life. "Um…yah, it was so good! You should be a cook one day." I said, trying not to throw up.

"Hmm…a cook." She thought to herself.

"Um, actually the reason why I'm here is because I need your help." I said quickly, before she thought some more about being a cook. The last thing we needed was Orihime as a cook.

"Help? Sure, I'll do anything for you, Rukia!" She said kindly.

"Thanks, Orihime. The thing is, Ichigo asked me to go to the prom with him and-"

"YOU AND ICHIGO ARE GOING TO PROM TOGETHER!?" Orihime asked wildly, jumping up from the couch across the room to sit next to me.

"Um, yah-"

"No way!" She interrupted me.

"Yes way! I'm going to the dance with him! Okay!?" I screamed at her with frustration.

"Oh, ok…sorry…" Orihime said with a stunned whisper.

"No, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to say it like that." I apologized. "So…as I was TRYING to say, I need some help with some…dress shopping." I said.

"Dress shopping? No problem! You came to the right person!" Orihime said proudly. "So what kinda dress you looking for?" She asked me with interest.

"Um…nothing serious, just a dress…but it has to good and feel comfortable.

"Hmm…I know! We can buy you a bright, pink, fluffy dress with…with….oh! With shiny shimmering diamonds all over! This will be perfect! C'mon let's go!" She grabbed my hand and rushed me out the door with like thousands of dollars in her hand.

Okay…this was a bad idea… I thought to myself as Orihime dragged me to the mall.

A/N: Well I hope you enjoyed it! Please read the next chapter, when it comes out, to see how Rukia's and Orihime's shopping trip goes. And please, please, please review! Thanks!
