** Day before the wedding!**

(7 a.m.)

The day had come! Nora was getting married tomorrow and Casey was moving to California. Casey woke up feeling refreshed and happy today was after all her wedding day. When Casey came down the stairs her mom was at the kitchen table having a cup of coffee. Not really what you'd expect for a woman getting married tomorrow. Lizzie still wasn't downstairs yet. She and Lizzie were going shopping today for a white gown for Casey. She and Derek had decided to keep the wedding simple. He was going to wear a suit and tie and she was going to wear a white dress. She only had plastic flowers but they were still beautiful. Casey walked the rest of the way down the staircase and joined her mom at the table. "Morning mom!" Nora looked up from. She looked like she hadn't slept at all the night before. Her hair was a mess and she had bags under eyes.

"Morning Casey." Her voice sounded dull and sleepy.

"Mom why do look like you didn't sleep at all last night."

"It's because I didn't sleep at all last night. I was too excited about the wedding to sleep." Nora poured herself another cup of coffee. "I've been drinking coffee to wake me up but so far it's not working." Casey looked at the coffee package and then said

"Mom, this is decaf."

"Really?" Casey nodded. "Aw man! So that's why I'm still tired!" Just then Lizzie came down the stairs all dressed and ready for the day.

"Hey Liz you ready to go?"

"Where are you two going?" Nora looked at her two daughters curiously.

"We're just going shopping mom we should be back around noon."

"Oh okay have fun!" Nora called trying to sound cheery but was still as tired as ever. Casey and Lizzie waved goodbye then headed off to the mall. When they arrived at the mall they headed into the bridal shop. "So what kind of dress were you thinking of."

"Well, something simple yet fancy. It needs to be elegant but it shouldn't be too long or too puffy. Something kind of straight maybe a little lower than the knee and either strapless or short-sleeved."

By the end Casey was practically out of breath.

"Wow Case. That's very specific. I don't know if we can find a dress exactly like that."

With that they started searching for Casey's dream dress.

**11: 30**

Casey was just about to give up. They had been searching for dresses for 4 hours and they still hadn't found the perfect dress. She had to admit a lot of them were beautiful but none of them were her dream dress and she wouldn't rest until she walked down the aisle in her perfect dress. "Casey! I found it! I found it, I found it!" Casey could hear Lizzie's shouts from across the room. She ran to find her sister and when she did she realized it was true. In Lizzie's hand was Casey's perfect dress. It was a beautiful white short-sleeved dress. Now the real test was to try it on. It fit her perfectly. The dress went just past her knees. The sleeves went a little bit passed her shoulders. It was a v-neck dress with a white ribbon around her waist. Casey almost broke into tears. "It's beautiful! Thanks Liz you found my perfect dress." Casey hugged her sister then stepped out of the dress back into her regular clothes. She still had one last thing to do. She had to get her hair done. So she and Lizzie headed to the hair salon. Lizzie also got her hair done so that it would look like it was for the wedding. Their hair was almost identical. It was in a down due and was curled beautifully. Her wedding was going to be perfect. When she and Lizzie arrived home Nora was on the couch sleeping her coffee on the table next to her. She obviously didn't get regular coffee yet, thought Casey. She and Lizzie hurried up to their rooms. Casey folded the dress and hid it in her purse. She figured that now would be the perfect time to put her suitcase in the car so that Nora wouldn't question her about it later. When Casey walked downstairs she tripped and practically fell down the rest of the stairs. She bit her lip and held her lip hoping that didn't wake up her mom. When she heard a snore she breathed a sigh of relief and continued out the front door.

**7:30**

Casey had just finished applying all her make-up when her phone rang. "Hello?"

"Casey, I'm leaving my house right now you probably should too. You might want to say goodbye to your sister but not your mom cause she might figure out we're up to something."

"Um, actually Derek I told her I was meeting you for dinner tonight."

"Oh well then go ahead and say goodbye to her. I'll see you at Smelly Nelly's in a little bit. Bye"

"Bye." Casey hung up her phone checked herself on last time in the mirror grabbed her purse and headed downstairs ready to begin her new life.
