Chapter 20
"Oh look, Milly! Over there!" Lacus exclaimed excitedly.
"OMG, it's gorgeous!" Miriallia and Lacus rushed into the boutique. Cagalli sighed and looked at Shiho, who shrugged and followed them into the shop. Cagalli went in after her.
They had been walking around the streets looking for dresses for about 2 hours. What Cagalli wanted was to sit down and rest her aching feet.
"Cagalli! Come here and see!" Miriallia called out. As Cagalli walked over, she saw Lacus holding up a light green dress. It was strapless, with a layer of white frills running from the right side of the waist to the bottom on the left. (A/N: The one that she wore in Andrew Waltfeld's house)
"Try this one!" Lacus pushed the dress into Cagalli's arms.
"Alright …" Cagalli sighed.
"Ohmygod, that looks SO good on you!" Miriallia cried out. Lacus nodded her head and clapped her hands lightly. Cagalli turned to look at Shiho, the one she considered "sane". Shiho nodded in agreement to what Miriallia had said.
"Ok, then, I'll buy this." Cagalli said, relieved that she didn't have to try on anymore dresses.
"Ah! So tired!" Cagalli complained as she sank down on the couch in the suite.
The girls had spent another 2 hours looking for shoes and accessories. Cagalli was made to try on zillions of shoes before they found the perfect one.
"Athrun's going to drool when he sees you." Shiho grinned.
"Shut up." Cagalli threw a cushion at her.
"Gee, I wonder if I should have bought a new necklace." Miriallia thought out loud.
"No!" Cagalli and Shiho cried out in unison, afraid of having to spend another 4 hours shopping another day.
"Chill," Miriallia replied. "I was joking."
"Whew." Cagalli and Shiho sighed in relief.
"I don't want to!" Cagalli yelped.
"Come on, you must look pretty for Athrun, ne?" Lacus coaxed.
"No!"
"Come on, Cagalli. Let me do your hair."
"Don't want to!"
"SIT DOWN AND LET ME DO YOUR HAIR, DAMNIT!" Lacus lost her patience. Cagalli was so shocked that she kept still.
"Good." Lacus smirked. (A/N: OO")
"There!" Lacus clapped her hands in excitement. "You look so pretty!"
"Are you sure, Lacus? Don't you think it's a bit too much?" Cagalli touched her hairdo unsurely. The top part of her hair was tied back and pinned with a diamond hairpin. The bottom part was let down and gently curled at the end. (A/N: I suck at describing hair.)
Lacus noticed her friend's hesitance, and smiled reassuringly. She then took Cagalli's dress and passed it to her, gesturing her to put it on. When Cagalli came out of the bathroom, Lacus zipped the dress up and turned toward's the dressing table.
"I'm sure Athrun gave you a necklace … Kira said he did."
"Uh, yea." Cagalli replied. "It's in that box." She pointed.
"Really." Lacus smirked. (A/N: Again!)
