Part 14: Miranda's formal dress.

"Waaaahhhhhhh!--Miranda's getting married!!--" A 95 pitch scream ripped through the air from Allen and Lenalee's apartment.

"No No--"Allen said waving his hands around, then stuck his finger in his ear to comfort his eardrum.

"She needs to go to her cousins wedding, so she needs a formal dress."

"So she's not getting married--" Lenalee replied lowering her head in disappointment, "When you said that she's going to be in a wedding I was so happy for her."

"Hey, I think we need to help her out. No one around here wants to sell anything to her. The clothes that she wears are made by herself, but she doesn't know how to make a formal dress. What shall we do?" Allen was little distressed.

"Allen-kun, don't you know how to?" Lenalee suddenly asked a very odd question.

"Eh?--Lenalee, why do you ask me like I'm supposed to? --I don't know everything--"

"But to me, Allen-kun is invincible……." Lenalee stared at Allen with a hurt expression.

"Err…..Um…..about that……" Please don't look at me like that aahhhh!! You make me feel like I'm the most evilest guy in the world aaaahhhhh!!, Allen screamed on the inside. He was now shaking then nodding his head like a lost idiot.

"Since we don't know how to sew, how can we help Miranda then." Lenalee moved her gaze to the pots of flowers sitting on the balcony, sighing softly.

"What if we just go to visit her first, if there's something she's doing maybe then we can help."

"Ok, I guess this is the only way."

oOo

"Miranda!--Miranda!--" Lenalee happily called Miranda's name, Allen was following behind her, he had a gentle smile on his face and an unreadable sparkle in his eyes…..

"It's you guys!" Miranda came out from the back of her shop, "I was just sewing my formal dress but I'm still not too sure what a formal dress looks like. I was trying to think of a style, come and have a look."

"Ok!" Lenalee half ran half walked inside.

Behind the flower shop was where Miranda lived. It was not a very bright place, there was a table in the middle and on the table there lay a few materials and tools.

"So you make your own clothes, Miranda? Sugoi ne, the material is very good."

"Yes it is, this was left to me by the last owner of this place. He was a very nice person." Miranda picked up the material on the table and looked at it earnestly, she sighed, "…..but I don't know how to make formal dresses."

"What about this……I'll draw a few designs for you, how about that?..." Lenalee suddenly thought of something to help, "Then Allen can help sew on the decorative designs."

"Eh?--why me?" Said Allen awkwardly, pointing at himself, "I don't have that much of an artistic mind."

"Because I believe in you." Lenalee gave a gentle smile, then turned around and continued drawing.

"………..believe…………" Allen blushed, he suddenly thought of the gentle smile of his adopted father. It was like Lenalee's smile, filled with hope and forgiveness. It was beautiful.

So……He should repay this belief in him, shouldn't he?

He lowered his head and started on the work of something he was not familiar with, tailoring.

oOo

"Here, I finished drawing." Lenalee handed her design to Miranda after she was satisfied with it, Miranda studied it for a while then nodded.

"I can still make this design."

"Ok we'll start now. How are you doing Allen-kun?"

"I'm nearly finished." Allen replied wiping the sweat from his head, "Why don't you let Miranda start first?"

"Ok." Miranda picked up the scissors, and started cutting. Slowly the basic shapes of the designs appeared.

"Wow! Miranda is so skilled! That was very quick." Lenalee watched Miranda's skilful hands, she was surprised.

"It's not that good." Miranda smiled, "Allen are you ready?"

"Yep." Allen lifted his head to look at them, "Don't know how it will turn out though."

oOo

"Wah! It looks beautiful Miranda! Allen is sugoi!" Lenalee looked at the designs which Allen had meticulously sewn on, giving a sigh of awe, "…and you said that you didn't know how to sew. It's beautiful."

"R…..really?" He hid his hands behind his back, smiling lightly.

"Are you hurt?" Lenalee caught sight of his attempted gesture, "It was too hurried, are you OK Allen-kun? Sorry, I shouldn't of asked you to sew….."

"I…..I'm Ok….." Allen laughed stiffly, to his surprise Lenalee grabbed his hands the pain stinging him.

"Look, it hurts doesn't it….and you said it was OK." Lenalee worriedly furrowed her brow, then she took a bandaid from her pocket and helped him put it on the hurt fingers.

"………………" He didn't know how long it was, but he was staring at Lenalee caring for him, his felt his temperature rise rapidly his face heated up.

"We finally finished." Miranda picked up the finished garment and whirled around in a circle, she happily looked over to Allen and Lenalee, but found a very warm scene. "Ara."

"It's fixed." Allen pulled his hand away, he looked at Miranda and smiled embarrassedly, "That looks good."

"Un un, it looks really pretty." Lenalee answered. She had no idea what had happened just then, "Miranda would look beautiful in it."

"Thank you very much." Miranda smiled happily.

oOo

The next Morning before the sun even rose….

"Ahhhhh!! Are you saying Miranda has pursuers?" Again, a 95 pitch scream cut through the air from Allen and Lenalee's apartment.

"Ah yes. I heard that when Miranda appeared at the wedding in the formal dress we made together, she looked stunning. So she earned herself some persuers." Allen replied blocking his ears.

"The formal dress that we made together is fantastic!" Lenalee was so happy she started dancing around spinning in circles, "Allen-kun, what about we open a tailor shop together?"

"I don't think so…" Allen stared at his fingers feeling discouraged, "Please stop spinning Lenalee, I think I'm gonna faint…."
