104 38: Maid Of Honor.
13 Days Later
March 3rd, (2020)
13 Days later, at the EL Rancho Motel, Stacy was inside her and Rex's room, getting ready for their big day. Today was the day. It was here. It was finally happening. The day that Stacy and Rex would finally be married as husband and wife. No more Stacy Maleficent HeLL. After today, she would be known as Mrs. Stacy Bryson. She looked in the mirror at herself, combing her pretty blond hair as she hummed the song from the movie FROZEN, For The First Time In Forever. She wore a big, white long sleeve gypsy wedding dress, a gypsy tiara with a long white veil that went down to the floor, the skirt part of the dress was big and wide, the back of it was long, and she wore white high heel shoes with ankle straps, white stockings and pink lipgloss. As she continued to get ready for her big day, she startled by a knock at the door.
"Rex?" Stacy turned away from the mirror and looked at the door. "Rex, is that you?"
There was another knock at the door.
"Rex?" Stacy said.
There was a third knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Stacy asked as she headed for the door. What was Rex doing here? Didn't he know it was bad luck to see the bride before the wedding? The 29 year old blond walked up to the door. "Who's there?"
"It's me, who else?" Came a voice on the other side of the door.
Stacy opened the door and saw a 28 year old girl standing on the other side of the door. She had black hair that went past her shoulders and brown eyes. She wore blue lipstick, a short blue dress and blue high heel shoes.
"Oh my good, Kimmy, you actually came!" Said Stacy in excitment.
"Of course i came, i'm your best friend and your maid of honor." Said The 28 year old American girl , known as Kim, as she entered into the motel room before Stacy closed the door behind her. "And you look like royalty."
"Girl, if you'd been through what i've been through. Come here." Said Stacy before walking up to Kim and giving her a hug. Kim was Stacy's friend from Las Vegas and had flown in to the state of Texas to participate in her BFF's special big day as her maid of honor.
Kim: "Hey, what do i always tell you? There's no problem you can't fix with..."
"Smokes, drinks and rock and role." Said Stacy and Kim in unison before laughing. The two young Vegas girls then released each other from the hug.
"So, what do you think?" Kim asked.
"About what?" Stacy asked.
"Hello, the lips?" Said Kim.
"Oh my good, you actually did it. They look real." Said Stacy before feeling on Kim's lips. "They even feel real. Wow."
"They better feel real. They cost me enough." Said Kim, refering to her lip job.
"So did they pay off?" Stacy asked.
"Ten times over. Cerdusy of Vegas airlines." Said Kim.
"You really look great." Said Stacy.
"Oh, please, i ate so much on the flight, i look pregnant. Anyway, nice place you got here. Did you use the money of your fortune to rent this place?" Said Kim.
"Nope, this was Rex's idea, actually." Said Stacy.
"Rex? As in 'THE' Rex?" Kim asked.
"Yes, we're on vacation here in Paris, Texas, which happens to be his home town. The place he grew up in as a kid.
"I see. So that's why you took off a month ago without saying goodbye. I swear, Stacy, i thought you and him were splitsville." Said Kim.
"No we're still together and we're getting married today at the courthouse here in Texas." Said Stacy.
"So you quit the dance, settled down with the perfect guy, so why the sad phone call? I mean you were crying so hard, i could hardly tell it was you." Said Kim.
Rather than answer Kim's question, Stacy soon turned visibly upset and began to cry.
"Oh, honey." Said Kim before hugging her BFF. "What could be so bad, Stacy Maleficent HeLL, that Kimberly Drazila Anderson couldn't fix it? Come on, we've seen it all."
The Vegas girls released each other from the hug.
"(Crying) Not this." Said Stacy.
"I don't believe it. And even if it's true, we'll figure it out. So come on. Tell me what's bothering you." Said Kim.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
"So, you give the doctor the 11 billion dollars, save the dog's life, as well as it's four unborn puppies, collect your reward. So how was it?" Asked Kim who was now sitting on one of the bed's with Stacy. Stacy had told her everything she had done since she and Rex had been in town for the past two months. How she had black mailed Gigi, with her son's dog's life, into severing all ties with Rex and how she payed the hospital for the dog's surgery, saving the dog's life, along with it's four unborn Dalmatian puppies.
"It was heaven. It was everything i ever thought it would be, you know." Said Stacy.
"He couldn't get enough of you." Said Kim.
"He loves me. I mean he really does, Kimmy." Said Stacy.
"So then what?" Kim asked.
"So then, after the horrible little white rats were born, Rex proposed to me and asked me to marry him. I said yes and then i told him that i was pregnant." Said Stacy.
"What?" Kim asked.
Stacy bowed her head.
"Never mind, i get it, that's why i'm here. Don't worry, we can fix that little problem with an adoption agency." Said Kim.
"Rex wants this baby." Said Stacy.
"So what's the problem?" Kim asked.
"Someone knows what i did to put an end to Rex and Gigi, as well as all of my other secrets. And as long as my secrets are in that person's possession, my relationship with Rex is in danger of collapsing...unless i do something for them, that is." Said Stacy.
"Well, who is this jerk that's been blackmailing you? Please tell me, cause i would love to meet them and give them a piece of my mind." Said Kim.
"Her name is Cruella De ViL." Said Stacy.
"Who?" Kim asked.
"Cruella De ViL. She's this british fashion mogul from UK London, England. Or at least she use to be." Said Stacy.
"Really? A fashion mogul is staying here in Paris, Texas? Holy smokes, that's cool!" Said Kim.
"No, it's not cool." Said Stacy.
"It's not?" Kim asked.
"No, trust me." Said Stacy.
"You said that she use to be a fashion mogul, which is past tense. What do you mean use to be?" Kim asked.
"After her Hungarien cousin, Diane De ViL, paid me a visit, and confronted me about what i did to Gigi, i did online research about this Cruella De ViL woman last month. It turns out she's not only an ex-fashion mogul, she's a convicted criminal as well." Said Stacy.
"Get out! What did she do?!" Kim gasped.
"She's a convicted dognapper/dog killer. In (1996), she and three men were arrested in the outskirts of London, England for stealing 99 Dalmatian puppies and trying turn them into a spotted fur coat. Then, three years later, in (2000), she was released from prison on probation, and she and some french fashion designer were arrested in Paris, France for stealing 102 Dalmatians from London and smuggling them into the french nation to turn them into a hooded spotted fur coat. When arrested, she was baked into a massive wedding cake that was coated in different colors of frosting. She was deported back to London, England, where her probation was revoked, she was re-imprisoned for life and her entire fortune was given to some dog shelter. Then, six years later, in (2007), she was released on an appeal and killed dogs for an entire decade and exploited their fur in her fashionline. 10 Years later, in (2017), she set up a contest here in the U.S. and made some girl named Lois Richards the winner and she and her Dalmatian puppy went to London, England to study fashion with Cruella, only to find out later that it was all just a trick to steal her dog and add it to the other Dalmatian puppies Cruella had stolen and smuggled into Mexico and stored away on a river boat on an island called Devil's Island. So Lois and her two friends, Clark and Mia, followed Cruella to Mexico by helicopter, with help from Mia's grandfather, Roy, who was a pilot, to rescue the 103 Dalmatians and Clark's 12 year old brother, Max and two 9 year old orphans named Lucas and Brandon, who had snuck off to Mexico to rescue the puppies. Long story short, they rescued the 103 Dalmatians and got them off the island. Cruella was arrested for repeating the offense and so was a man named Dr. Pavlov, who later turnned out to be the person who got her sprung from prison in (2007). Apparently, she had been blackmailing him with this terrible secret he had been keeping for six years." Said Stacy.
"What was the secret?" Kim asked.
"The reason Cruella was released in (2000) was because she was on hypnotic therapy, which was Dr. Pavlov's treatment for curring his patients. However, when he discovered that loud noises reversed the treatment, he decided to keep quiet about it rather than warn the public. Another long story short, the chimes of Big Been snapped Cruella back to her crazy self, which is what caused the 102 Dalmatians incident." Said Stacy.
"Wow. So where is the doctor now?" Kim asked.
"He's currently serving 30 years in prison...without parole." Said Stacy.
"Ouch. That poor man." Said Kim.
"Anyway, after spending two years in a mental hospital in London, England, Cruella was discharged on January 1'st of this year, on the condition that she never contacts any of the people who were involved in the incident in Mexico with the 103 Dalmatians. The Judge also warned her that if she regained her memory and fell back into her old ways, she would go back to prison." Said Stacy.
"So then what are you waiting for? Blow the whistle on this chick." Said Kim.
"Believe me, i would love to. But if i do that, i'll have to come forward with everything else. Like what i did to put an end to Gigi and Rex, my dark secret, as well as the fact that i broke into every dog place in this town and stolen Dalmatian puppies and helped Cruella smuggle them into Australia." Said Stacy.
"What are you talking about?" Kim asked.
"I don't know, the britch is crazy. She has this insane plan to steal 104 Dalmatian puppies from the state of Texas and smuggle them into Australia to make them into a spotted fur coat." Said Stacy.
"Britch?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, it's the combination of the words, british and witch: Britch." Said Stacy.
"Britch? Okay. That'll be a new one." Said Kim.
"But i think that i secret is safe. On the night of February 18'th, i went to Cruella and begged her not to tell Rex and she agreed not to. I guess she must have kept her promise because that was 13 days ago. I haven't seen or heard from her since then." Said Stacy.
"So what are you so worried about? Your secret's safe. You know, you steal a few puppies for the britch, help her smuggle them into Australia and she agrees not to tell. It's a win, win senario. You have nothing to freat about." Said Kim.
"I don't, do i?" Said Stacy.
"Well, yeah, i mean, if the wacko wanted to put an end to you and Rex, she would've done it already." Said Kim.
"Yeah, you're right." Said Stacy.
"I know i'm right. And who's to say that she's still even in town? Maybe the reason you haven't heard from her in so long is because she's gone back home to London." Said Kim
"That is a possibility, isn't it?" Said Stacy.
"Yes. Yes, it is." Said Kim.
"You're right. Maybe that devil woman is long gone. I mean what are the odds of her showing up out of the blue after all this time? Forgive me for my negetivity. Maybe i'm just nervous about my big day." Said Stacy.
"You're forgiven." Said Kim before standing up. "Now come on, my BFF, let's go get you hitched."
"Let's." Said Stacy as she stood up.
"Speaking of which, where's Rex? Isn't he suppose to be the groom?" Kim asked.
"He's at the courthouse, waiting for me." Said Stacy.
"Now that's my kind of guy." Said Kim.
"I know, right?" Said Stacy.
"Well, let's not keep prince charming waiting any longer. Let's get to that courthouse." Said Kim.
"I'm right behind you." Said Stacy.
The two Vegas girls went out the front door of the motel room, heading for their destination to the courthouse so Stacy could marry Rex.
