The End Of An Era For Condor Studio's
Chapter 6: The Perfect Dress
Sonny's POV
The first shop we came to was a beautiful original ball room dress shop. I loved looking at the amazing dresses in the windows when i first moved to California. Me and Tawni grabbed random dresses in our sizes and went to go try them on. I got into my first dress. It was a metallic gold strapless dress with a metallic silver ribbon strap round the waist, showing where the metallic gold stopped and the dress puffed out into a glittery golden mass that ended at the floor. I hated this dress but still i had to try on a lot. I came out and Tawni gave me a full examination.
"The dress is really pretty, but it doesn't go with your figure. You need to show off more of your curves." She said, i nodded and she went to get into one of her dresses. While she was getting changed i looked in the mirror. I had to admit, it was very well designed but Tawni was right. It didn't go with my figure and covered to much of my back. I loved to show my back when i wore dresses. Tawni came out seconds later in a hot pink strapless mini dress, that clung to her body like it was bubble gum.
"Wow, it's defiantly eye catching but for all the wrong reasons. The dress is a nice shade of pink but the design is a complete fail. It just clings to your body. It's not nice at all." She nodded and got changed into my next dress.
My next dress was a pure white dress. It had thin straps over the shoulders and ended just above my knee's showing off my legs around the front but the back of the dress extended to the floor. I came out but i didn't like this dress either. We tried on all the dresses we picked up but we didn't find any we liked. So we moved all around the shop trying to find the best dress for the night. I was wondering around the shop when i saw the dress. The dress that stood out from all the rest in the shop. It was a silk black ball gown with medium shoulders straps. I felt down it and the chest and stomach part was designed with sequences sown into a beautiful swirling pattern as it came down to the waist it puffed out slitly, it was still made with silk and flewed down beautifully. I smiled and looked around for a worker. One worker was hanging used dresses back on the shelves. She was Chinese with black hair and tanned skin and light brown eyes with hint of orange in them.
"Excuse me?" I asked as politely as i could. She turned round and smiled.
"Hi, what can i do for you?" She asked. I pointed back to the black dress.
"I was wondering if i could try on that dress, if it's not to much trouble."
"No trouble at all miss. What size are you?" She asked.
"Size 10." I said, she nodded and walked into a store room. A few seconds later she came out with a size 10 dress. I smiled as she handed it to me.
"Thank you."
"Just doing my job. Have a nice day." She said and got back to work. I went over to the changing rooms and Tawni was going mad trying to find a dress as this was the best dress shop in all California. She turned to me.
"Any luck?" She asked. I held up the dress.
"I think so." I said, walking into the dressing room. I slipped on the dress and i had a connection with it, as silly as it sounds. It was my perfect dress and it showed off all my curves known and unknown and my back! Bonus. Now lets see if it passes the Tawni Style dress test. I walked out holding the front of the dress so i wouldn't step on it as i walked. I stood in front of Tawni and gave a twirl. Her mouth hung open. She then smiled.
"Wow! That dress and you are perfect together! I think i just found my dress too! Wait here!" She grabbed a pale pink dress and ran into the dressing room. She came back out in the same dress that i tried on first but i was better in pale pink and pale purple. it didn't end at the floor but 1/4 way up her thigh and gently clung to her body. She looked beautiful.
"Wow, you look amazing Tawni!" I said. We got changed back into our clothes and paid for the dresses. The next 2 hours we bought shoes, make up, bags, jewellery and hair accessories and then went to my house. Tawni was staying at my house for a week while her Mum was going to her friends mum's funeral. Once we were at my house, which is a mansion, we went straight into my room and placed our clothes in my walk-in-wardrobe.
"Will you sing a song now? You promised!" She said bouncing up and down like a child. I laughed and pulled out my song book from my hidden hide away. Tawni handed me my guitar case and i pulled out my guitar.
Whoa, Whoa
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
How to choose
Who to be
Well lets see
there so many choices now
Play guitar
Be a Movie star
In my head are voices
Why not try everything
Why stop reach for any dream
I can rock!
Cause its my life and now the time
Who will i be
It's up to me
all the never ending possibilities
that i can see
there's nothing that i can't do
Who will i be
yes i believe
i get to make the future what i want to
If i can become anyone and know the choice is up to me
Who will i be
I stopped there and looked to Tawni. She was smiling happily.
"That was amazing Sonny! Now all you need to do is get Mr Condors acceptance and you'll be singing before you know it!" I nodded.
"Thanks Tawni, I'll be back. Alex wants to talk to me about something. Zora's room is next door if you get bored. I don't really knw how long i will be." I said before leaving the room. I walked down the stairs, and to the kitchen where Katy, my stepmum was mixing a cream coloured mixture in a clear glass bowl.
"hey Katy? Where's Alex?"
"He's in his study Sonny."
"Thank you." I said and walked through the kitchen but i back up. "Whatcha cooking?" I asked.
"Chocolate Cake. Three layers." She said adding the chocolate powder and melted chocolate. I smiled and went into Alex's study.
"Hey Alex, what's up?" I said walking into the old fasioned room. Alex turned around on his spinning chair and smiled.
"Hey Sonny, can i ask you about something?" He said. I nodded. "Okay, so you know how you said you wanted to escape from your past for good?"
"Yeah." I said pulling a book off his book case.
"Well how you like to change your name?" Alex asked me. I looked up from the book and I smiled. I nodded fast like a three year old. "So what name would you like?" After a little thought i went with...
"Demi." I said happily.
"Okay, i'll send that off and you will have a new name by tomorrow afternoon." I ran up to Alex and hugged him.
"Thank you Alex, thank you thank you!"
"You welcome hun, now get to bed, you have work tomorrow." I then ran up stairs and back in my room. I was glad Tawni was asleep. I went climbed onto my double bed and hugged my blanket before i filled the night with silent heart brake in the form of tears. I hate shedding tears for a dick head but i was still in pain from his betrail.
Hey guys,
I noticed when i was looking through this story that the last chapter had 'The Final Curtain Call For Condor Studio's' as the title. I just want to explain why that happened.
When i was writing the story, i had changed the title many times before finally sticking with the title it has now. I must have missed changing the title.
So really sorry if that cause some confusion, which i don't think it did because everyone is smart on here :)
So again sorry and thanks for reading, R&R
